Chapter 75:
The one who spoke was a Jonin named Yusha, standing next to the Third Hokage.
"Do we really need them to take the subsequent exams? Can't we just promote them directly?"
Indeed, what Orochimaru and his teammates accomplished was beyond impressive. Even someone of his own caliber couldn't have done better.
So, he believed there was no harm in promoting them directly.
"It's truly incredible they managed to achieve such feats. I agree with Yusha!" said another examiner, nodding in approval.
As an examiner, he was fully aware that Orochimaru and his team were not just ordinary participants they were disciples of the Hokage. Whether it was because of their extraordinary performance or their special status, he had no reason to object.
The Third Hokage looked around at the other Jonin. "What about the rest of you?"
They exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.
"Seconded!"
