Chapter 153
Kiba could already foresee it — next time the Chūnin Exams came around, everyone else might pass, and only their team would fail.
That'd be absolutely humiliating!

With the matter concluded, Tsunade dismissed everyone and reminded the newly promoted shinobi to go collect their new uniforms.
Chūnin and Jōnin had designated uniforms. Skin-tight wear and mesh armor aside, the key item was the green armored vest — specially designed, with lots of pockets and decent defense. Most Chūnin and Jōnin wore it regularly, though it wasn't mandatory.
