Chapter 55 - Tower

After Mujin and Hyori realized how big of a clan the Senju were back in the day, he continued his explanation.

"And that's the main reason, that you have an impression that, using little ninjutsu is weird, the main reason is simply because the civilian ninjas we imagine, are not actually pure civilians, they are the descendants of the Senju, which automatically makes them superior in terms of talent to 70% of the ninjas in the world."

While Yujiro had been explaining this to Hyori and Mujin, they had been steadily travelling toward the center tower.

And when Yujiro finally finished his explanation, they could already see the tower in the distance.

And without hesitation, they ran toward the tower without any worries.

The reason for this was simple, Yujiro had been using his Byakugan to check out the surroundings, and there were no other contestants around.

The only thing that attracted his attention was the tower.

'I see, so this tower also has those seals that block the Byakugans' vision.

The only other buildings I have seen with the same function were the Konoha library , Hyuga library and the Hokage building, though I'm sure there are other facilities around, it's that I just can't see them, since I don't know if there are any in the first place.'

After a moment of analyzing, he made a judgement.

'Since they have used such seals on this tower, it's highly likely that those seals are not extremely advanced.

And are highly likely to be available to chunins.'

After making such a judgement in a fraction of a second, he continued to move towards the tower without any pause.

When the trio entered the tower, they saw the writing on the wall, which made them open the scrolls.

As a result, a Chunin was summoned to their location.

At the start he thought he had been summoned to the forest, to rescue a failed team, but when he took a closer look, he realized that he was inside the tower.

When he realized this, he instinctively looked at the clock while being confused.

'I didn't space out did I?'

When he got a look at a clock, he realized that he hadn't spaced out and that a team had already passed the second stage of the chunin exams.

While he was confirming that he hadn't spaced out, Yujiro and his teammates were looking at the Chunin, like he was some kind of rare animal.

And when the chunin realized that the trio was looking at him weirdly, he immediately realized why.

Instead of congratulating them on their success in passing the test, he had been looking at his clock for the whole 15 seconds.

After getting over his embarrassment, he finally managed to give the introduction to the tower, and the meaning for this part of the examination, but when he looked back at the trio, he could easily see that they weren't paying any attention to his speech, as a result he just decided to end it early.

"Well, congratulations you passed the second stage of the chunin exams in just 34 minutes. That's an impressive record."

When the chunin finally mentioned their passing time did the chunin finally get a sliver of attention from the trio.

But the attention on him didn't last long as Yujiro took Hyori's and Mujin's attention.

"Guys, you know? With this kind of record, it will probably be hard for Itachi to surpass it."

When Yujiro said this, Hyori and Mujin looked like they were pumped with adrenaline.

At the same time, Yujiro was looking at their reactions while thinking.

'While I don't really care for such a thing, it's a nice bonus to help these two boost their morale and confidence.'

After a moment of bliss Hyori and Mujin were pulled back to reality by Yujiro's voice.

"So is there anything we should know about this tower?"

When the chunin heard this, he just mechanically answered.

"This exam will last for 5 days, in those 5 days you can't leave the tower, other than that there are no strict limitations, other than the obvious of not attacking other participants."

Yujiro's next words however froze the chunin.

"Is there anything we can do in this tower?

Something to pass the time like training."

When Yujiro asked this question, it actually put the chunin into an awkward position, and because of this he could hesitantly say the next words.

"There are training rooms in this tower, but…"

Before he could elaborate, Mujin cut him off.

"That's great, we don't have to sit around, rotating our thumbs."

After he said that, he just walked towards the insides of the tower.

While Mujin was moving further inside the tower, Hyori and Yujiro followed him, but while they were walking Yujiro was thinking about the chunins words.

'Hehe, his face was priceless, Mujin really picked a good time to cut him off. It looked like we weren't supposed to have access to those rooms, but now we will have an excuse to train in them.'

As for why the chunin's words put him into an awkward position, it was because those rooms are actually, a form of compensation for the examiner of the chunin exams.

This was because they had to sit around watching kids fight for 5 days.

After the trio ignored the chunin and went to check out the different places in the tower, they found many places.

The three places that interested them the most were the mess hall, the rooms allocated to the participants and the training rooms.

Especially the training rooms, they were much more elaborate than they had expected.

First of all, were the basics training rooms.

These included the meditation rooms, and the weight training rooms.

Team Hiramasu weren't surprised by these as their own clans had similar training rooms.

What surprised them more, were the other training rooms they discovered.

First of all was the reaction training room.

It was a room full of senbon launchers, and the training objective was to dodge every single one without blocking them.

Then there were the elemental training rooms.

These were the ones that surprised Yujiro the most.

These rooms couldn't really be considered rooms, as they were extremely large. So much in fact that it made one question on how Konoha managed to fit these rooms in the tower.
