Chapter 385: You Call This Chunin Exam
On March 1st, on the first day of early spring, the Chunin Exams in Konoha officially began.
A large number of Shinobi flooded the Academy. The attire of each village reflected the characteristics of their respective countries. Sunagakure's attire was meant to shield against the hot sun in the desert, while Amegakure's were meant to handle constant rain in Amegakure.
If it were a regular day, having this many Shinobi from other villages in the Academy would surely disrupt classes. Fortunately, the Academy was currently on an extended break and would resume classes in April.
The number of participants in the Chunin Exams this time was unprecedented. Sunagakure brought twenty-five teams of Genin, Iwagakure brought eighteen teams, Kumogakure brought seventeen teams, Amegakure brought seven teams, Kusagakure brought five teams, and Takigakure also brought five teams.
There were a total of 77 teams from other villages, each consisting of three members, totaling 231 Genin.
Since this Chunin Exam was held in Konoha, more Genin from Konoha participated. The newly established Special Combat Division led by Nagasawa sent nine teams of Genin.
Outside of Special Combat Division, Konoha sent a total of 40 teams, so the total number of Genin participating in the Chunin Exams was four 451 Genin.
Although it might seem relatively small compared to a regular middle school in Nagasawa's past life, in this case, the people that gathered here were not ordinary people; they were Shinobi participating in the Chunin Exams. In normal Chunin Exams, there would usually be around 70 to 80 Genin participating, so this was a large number.
Nagasawa was quite experienced in this. After all, for the sake of developing his skill, he had participated in many Chunin Exams before "barely" succeeding.
So, even in terms of numbers, this Chunin Exam, with more than four times the usual participants, was considered a rare event.
With such a large number of participants, they couldn't all fit in one room, so Nagasawa divided them into five exam rooms.
