Konoha: I Have a Gravity Training room

Time flies, and it was time for the annual graduation of new students again.

Natsuki didn't know any of the new students personally, but based on the timing, he estimated that this year's Chunin Exams were also approaching.

Some time ago, Tsunade had indeed held a mock exam, summoning all the Genin teams who were not on missions outside the Village to participate. Regardless of whether they intended to participate in the next Chunin Exams, they all had to participate in the mock exam.

Unexpectedly, ten teams actually gathered, and it was the Heaven and Earth Scroll stealing mode in the Death Forest.

To motivate the Genin, Tsunade also promised to reward the three most outstanding teams with a Ninjutsu.

The result was that the Genin were all hyped up like they had been injected with chicken blood. The Genin teams that usually didn't show much suddenly performed better than each other, causing quite a bit of trouble for Team Asuma and Team Kurenai.

Although these two teams eventually passed, the examination process was full of embarrassing moments, which made Tsunade very dissatisfied.

In comparison, Aoba Team was as excellent as ever, completing the exam at the fastest speed.

Natsuki was actually not interested in this, but he and Tenten were both pulled in by Tsunade to be proctors because they were idle and hadn't taken any missions. They couldn't help but know about it.

And this mock exam relieved Tsunade.

At least the cooperation of Team Asuma and Team Kurenai finally had some potential. They should be even better by the time of the Chunin Exams.

And Konoha's actions were naturally known to the other Villages, and for a time, many Villages followed suit.

After all, only a fool wouldn't understand that mock exams were beneficial.

Suppose one school only taught textbook knowledge, while another school frequently organized large and small exams for students to do practice tests. When it came to the joint exam, it was obvious which school would have better results.

Not only were the small Villages learning, but the big Villages were also looking to Konoha.

For example, Hidden Sand Village, upon learning that Konoha was holding mock exams for Genin teams, immediately became anxious and began discussing plans to hold mock exams.

After all, the joint Chunin Exams are also a time for each Village to showcase their strength. If Konoha performed excellently while Hidden Sand Village performed poorly, they would definitely be ridiculed by other Villages!

Therefore, mock exams must be held!

Natsuki didn't know much about these matters, so he took the opportunity to recommend Tenten for Special Jonin to Tsunade.

Tsunade looked surprised after hearing Natsuki's recommendation: "Logically, Tenten's strength is enough for Jonin, so why are you only recommending her for Special Jonin? Did you two have a lovers' quarrel?"

"Where did you get that idea?"

Natsuki was speechless, "Tenten's strength relies mainly on her Summoning Ninja Tools; her own ability isn't quite at the Jonin level yet, so Special Jonin is more suitable.

Furthermore, Tenten is a rather proud girl, and she wants to become a Jonin through her own abilities.

But a Chunin needs to be recommended by other Jonin to be promoted to Jonin, so I could only recommend her for Special Jonin.

Once her strength is truly recognized by Tsunade-sama, Tsunade-sama will naturally promote her to Jonin, won't she?"

That's true.

Tsunade agreed with Natsuki's idea.

And she could somewhat guess some of Natsuki's hidden intentions.

For example, Special Jonin are ultimately not the same as official Jonin, so even though they can take Jonin missions, some overly dangerous missions are still not allowed.

This way, Tenten won't encounter overly dangerous enemies, and her strength can also ensure her safety.

This young man really is thoughtful and considerate of his girlfriend.

Tsunade was actually a little envious, but couldn't help but tease: "Girlfriend? Isn't it more than that now?"

Natsuki's old face flushed: "Ahem! What are you saying, Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade couldn't be bothered to expose him further; don't think she couldn't tell Tenten's situation, she hadn't been a Medical Ninja for so many years for nothing.

These two youngsters were a bit reckless, but thankfully they weren't stupid enough to want a child now, otherwise she wouldn't mind giving Natsuki a beating.

"Alright, I've approved your recommendation, go call Tenten over!" Tsunade waved her hand.

"Oh, Tenten is right outside!" Natsuki chuckled as he opened the office door and brought Tenten, who was waiting in the hallway, inside.

"You guys were counting on me agreeing!"

Tsunade was almost angered into laughter, but couldn't be bothered to dwell on it, and said directly to Tenten, "This is the situation, I've agreed to Natsuki's recommendation, and starting today you are a Special Jonin.

Tenten, your potential is very good, and I believe you will continue to grow. When that time comes, you won't need anyone's recommendation, I will promote you to Jonin myself!"

Tenten's spirits lifted: "Thank you for your trust, Tsunade-sama! I will definitely not let you down!"

Tsunade waved her hand: "Alright, go quickly with your boyfriend, don't bother me here!"

Natsuki and Tenten didn't care if Tsunade was really angry or not, they ran off hand in hand, causing Tsunade to chuckle and scold them a few times, but you could tell Tsunade seemed to be in a good mood.

"These two young people, tsk, they're really too young!" Tsunade was still chuckling and scolding.

"Becoming a couple at such a young age, and being so affectionate, it really makes people envious," Shizune casually added.

"Oh? Shizune, are you envious?"

Tsunade seemed to realize, looking at Shizune and saying, "Now that you mention it, I had forgotten. You've been with me for so many years, and you're not young anymore. It's time to find a partner. You know, even Megumi has a boyfriend.

How about it? Is there anyone you like? Whether it's a Jonin, Special Jonin, or Chunin, as an elder, I can help set you up."

Shizune's face turned bright red, and she kept waving her hands, saying, "Please don't joke, Tsunade-sama, I really don't!"

Tsunade stared at her little follower suspiciously: "Really? Don't be shy!"

Shizune swore to the heavens: "Really not! Tsunade-sama, stop playing!"

Meanwhile, Natsuki decided to celebrate for Tenten, so he gathered the rest of the Konoha 15 at BBQ Q, planning to have his friends share in the good news.

He originally wanted to invite Kakashi, Aoba, and Teacher Kai, but they were all out of the Village on missions.

Inside BBQ Q, Natsuki directly ordered several set meals worth of meat. The meat sizzled with oil as it grilled, and the rich aroma made Choji, Hinata, and Naruto unable to help but drool.

"Natsuki, you're suddenly being so generous, are you and Tenten getting married?" Shikamaru guessed.

"That's a bold guess."

Natsuki praised him with a smile, "Although I hope your guess comes true, Tenten and I are still young, so marriage will be in a few years.

This time I'm treating to celebrate, to celebrate Tenten's promotion to Special Jonin."

What?! Tenten has been promoted to Special Jonin?!

Everyone was surprised, with looks of disbelief.

However, considering Tenten's strength, it didn't seem strange for her to be promoted to Special Jonin, it just felt a bit too sudden, as there were no signs at all before.
