"Shikamaru, Dingji."
Aoyama called out in surprise as she laughed. She was in a good mood as she bumped fists with Dingji and Shikamaru.
"When did you guys come back? Uncle Shihisa said that you guys still need some time to complete your mission. Why did you guys come back so soon? Did anything happen? "She threw out a barrage of questions, not giving Shikamaru and Dingji a chance to interrupt.
After the last time they met in the Waterfall Country, they didn't meet again. During the war, Aoyama hid her tracks and wore a mask all day long, so the two of them didn't have a chance to talk.
Dingji grinned. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. His body had become rounder, but his smile was still the same as before. It was a smile full of kindness.
"Alright, Aoyama, let's go in and talk. It's raining so heavily, why are we standing at the door? You bastard, why are you getting worse and worse? "Shikamaru rolled his eyes. He disliked Yuehua for being so long-winded and said in a bad mood.
Aoyama laughed when she heard this. She was thick-skinned, so she followed Shikamaru and Dingji into the house.
"We just got back to the village this morning. Dad told me about you, so I quickly dragged Dingji over to find you." Shikamaru sat on the sofa lazily. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he really did look tired.
Aoyama felt a warmth in her heart. She wanted to say something, but she didn't think it was necessary. In the end, she said, "If you're tired, you can take a nap here. I want to talk to Dingji."
"Then you guys go ahead. I'll take a nap. If there's anything else, we can talk later." Shikamaru didn't stand on ceremony. He closed his eyes and took a nap on the sofa. He was also very tired. He just came back after completing his mission, and he immediately rushed over.
He slept all the way until evening. Shikamaru opened his eyes in a daze and saw Dingji snoring on the sofa. Aoyama was sitting opposite him with a scroll in her hand.
"Yo, Shikamaru, you're awake." Aoyama's ears twitched. She noticed Shikamaru's movements. She put down the scroll in her hand and stretched out her hand to greet him.
Shikamaru raised his head and looked at the clock, it was already past 6 pm.
Very quickly, the food, the food that Aoyama ordered had arrived, and the three didn't talk. they immediately buried their heads in their mouths and started eating.
… ….
"I'm full, I'm full." Dingji had a satisfied look on his face as he let out a sigh of relief and walked into the living room.
Shikamaru shook his head and had a bitter smile on his face. He and Aoyama returned to the living room and sat down.
Aoyama held onto the teacup and her fingers lightly caressed the smooth surface of the teacup. Her gaze was a little uncertain.
"Aoyama, this time, you won't be going back to that person's side anymore, right? I heard from my dad that your title as a traitor ninja has already been removed, and your arrest warrant has also been withdrawn. "Shikamaru was the first to speak.
"I won't be going back. My mission has already been completed, and now, I have to obediently stay in the village." Aoyama grinned.
"That's good. Back then, when you defected, you really confused me. My dad also kept it a secret and didn't say a single word. I really thought that you had defected to Orochi Maru, and that worried me to death." Shikamaru faintly sighed and couldn't help but recall the situation back then.
During that period of time, he and Dingji had been training with all their might. They would wake up early and work late at night, and they didn't know what fatigue was. However, because of that, their strength became a lot stronger.
"I'm sorry, Shikamaru, Dingji. This mission can't be told to others, and that's why I hid it from you guys. I'm really sorry for making you guys so worried. "Aoyama lowered his head and sincerely apologized.
Although he didn't regret his decision back then, it had indeed caused a lot of trouble. Especially Shikamaru and Dingji, as his good friends, they had worried a lot for him.
"It's alright, I already said that it's a mission, and we are good friends." Dingji chewed on his potato chips, and a cheerful smile could be seen on his round face.
"Then, Aoyama, do you have any specific plans right now?" Shikamaru asked.
"En … I want to get promoted to Jonin first. The mission of lurking beside Orochi Maru can give me a lot of points, and I want to find some time to apply for promotion."
The Jonin exam was different from the Chunin exam, it was classified as a secret within the village. After all, Jonin was the top fighting strength of a village, and the quality of Jonin determined the strength of a village. This was something that Kiba had experienced the most.
Among the 5 great ninja villages, Kiba was the one that didn't have any special characteristics, or it could be said that the special characteristic of Kiba was that it was very versatile. The overall level of Chunin and Genin wasn't outstanding compared to the other 4 great ninja villages, and the reason why Kiba was able to stand at the top of the 5 great ninja villages was because of the valiant strength of Jonin.
Kiba was famous for having a lot of experts, especially experts that were proficient in secret techniques. Just like Ino-Shika-Cho, these three families were famous for their secret techniques. Furthermore, compared to Kekkei Genkai, secret techniques were easier to inherit. After all, there weren't many Kekkei Genkai that could be completely awakened like Byakugan.
"Jonin exam … with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Although it was a question, it carried a certain tone. Shikamaru and Dingji both recalled the scene when Aoyama fought with Rock Ninja Kurotsuchi.
"I have a high chance of success." Aoyama nodded his head.
There were several ways to take the Jonin exam. During times of war, one would rely on military service to get promoted. During normal times, there would be a normal way to take the exam. One Jonin would be the opponent, and three Jonins would be the examiner. As long as two Jonins approve of the examiner, the examiner would pass the exam.
The Jonins that were in charge of the exam were all appointed by the Hokage. There would be four Jonins that would stay in the village regularly to be in charge of the examination. After all, different from Chunin, there wouldn't be a fixed time for the exam, and the exam could be done anytime and anywhere.
As long as the examiner felt that his strength was enough, he would be able to participate in the exam.
"By the way, Shikamaru, this is the application form that I filled in myself. Can you help me take a look and see if there is any problem?" Aoyama took out an application form and handed it over to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru looked at the application form twice very carefully. "There is no problem, but you are still a Genin right now. You must first become a Chunin before you can apply for the Jonin exam, right?"
"That's right, Aoyama, you didn't take the Chunin exam with us." Dingji said rather worriedly.
"Don't worry, I still have a lot of military service, enough for me to be promoted to Chunin."
In the war with the Cloud, Shinichi had accumulated a lot of military service, enough for him to be promoted to Chunin according to the rules of the war. As long as he went to Solar Foot, there would be no problem.
"That's not what I'm worried about right now. Shikamaru, Dingji, you should know Gen, right?"
"Yes, your teacher Danzō -sama is the leader of Gen." Shikamaru's face was a bit dignified. He was now very clear about Gen and what kind of organization it was.
"So, do you think I can replace my teacher as the leader of Gen?"
