The next two months underwent the same routine as the past month.
The three first weeks, the trio spend their time tortured by their senseis hellish training.
While the last week is used to take down multiple bandit extermination missions on a area.
While the last few days if available are their free time.
During these two months apart from the constant training they did, 11 bandit extermination missions encountering few lucky bandits who had awakened chakra.
While on the second month they performed a escort mission to land of hot water, and performed 6 bandit extermination missions.
2 days after team Hiramasu came back from land of hot water.
Hyori could be seen complaining in training ground 32.
While the trio were running around the training ground.
"It's so annoying that slave worker doesn't give us any free time. Just 3 days of total free time in the past 6 months.
How can he expect us to train under these circumstances?"
Though Hyori was complaining neither Yujiro nor Mujin were paying any attention to her.
Instead they were solely focusing on their training.
After a while Hyori finally commented on the two of them.
"Forget it why am I trying to complain about this to couple blocks wood.
It would be more efficient of my time to talk to frogs or something."
While the two werent paying attention to her complaining that didn't mean that they didn't listen to the sounds around them, when they heard her call them blocks of wood, both of them had a throbbing vein appear on their foreheads.
Finally Mujin snapped.
"You damn beansprout! How can you even say that when we are practically your only friends, wouldn't the fact that we are your only friends mean that the two blocks of wood are only things in this village that can endure your nagging?"
Now it was Hyori's turn to once again become flushed.
"Now listen here you little…"
While the two were bickering once again, Yujiro had long since become immune to Hyori's insults.
And was currently analyzing something.
'Is sensei going to register us into the chunin exams. I originally thought that he was going to register us to the chunin exams six months from now, but now with the amount of missions we have done, it's questionable if he wants us to enter to the chunin exams a week from now.'
After the three finished their morning training, they all went under a tree to take a rest.
While they were resting, Yujiro curious about the others opinions asked a question.
"Hey do you think Hiramasu sensei put us through so many missions to register us for the chunin exams week from now?"
When the other two heard this they were dumbfounded.
When Yujiro saw the look on their faces he started to explain, before the two could ask about it.
"The Chunin exams are held twice a year, to register to the chunin exams you need to have done a certain amount of missions, and with the amount of missions we have currently performed, we qualify in this aspect.
And because Hiramasu sensei, suddenly increased the amount of missions we performed. I'm asking if you think he made us do so many missions to make us qualified to register into the chunin exams."
After he finished his explanation the two kids suddenly had stars appear in their eyes.
"Really do you think it's possible that we are going to be registered into the chunin exams.
If we pass, does that mean that we have surpassed Itachi?"
The first one to speak was Hyori.
"Yea but if we are going to be registered we need to properly train our teamwork."
When Yujiro heard what they said he was surprised.
'Damn is that the reason they are so hyped, is surpassing Itachi really such a big deal?
I didn't think that they were still stuck on Itachi graduating in the first year.'
After thinking about it he just asked about it.
"Is it that big of a deal that we become chunins before Itachi?
I mean are you guys still mad that you got trashed by him in the academy?"
When Mujin and Hyori heard him say that they instantly exploded.
"It's easy for you to say that!"
"You were the only person who could rival him in the academy, of course you don't think much about becoming a Chunin before him."
"You are both geniuses cut from the same mold."
"You wouldn't understand."
After Yujiro endured their lecture, he fell into his thoughts.
'I didn't think my peers would see me as a genius like Itachi, though it is understandable why we were put with the same lable, both of us are in the eyes of others, procousous kids with similar level of strength.
Though it's not surprising from my perspective that I hadn't seen this earlier, after all, I saw myself as a adult with a kids body, so comparing an adult to a kid and still losing to that kid wouldn't really boost my ego like it would boost other kids egos.
And unlike other kids I know how strong people in this world can become so I would not even be that happy if I beat Itachi in the academy.'
When Yujiro finally finished up sorting out his thoughts it was already the end of the break and Hiramasu had already arrived.
Before Hiramasu could say anything he was surprised when two of his students started to pester him.
"He sensei when are you going to register us for the chunin exams?"
"When were you going to tell us?"
"Sensei can you teach us couple of tricks for our attempt for the Chunin exam?"
When the two chiks Infront of him momentarily stopped speaking to get some air into their lungs, Hiramasu too the opportunity to speak before they could.
"Wait wait wait, what is this about you entering into the chunin exams?"
