The Chunin Exams Were a Child-Soldier Recruitment Fair
The Chunin Exams look like a promotion test, but Konoha uses children to advertise military talent, absorb political risk, and call unequal survival merit. This deep editorial asks what the arc gets right, where the village fails, and what a believable promotion system would require.
