Chunin are a follow-up to the rank of genin. To become a chunin, genin will participate in large examinations, both mental and physical, known as the Chunin Exams, held annually between the great and minor nations of the world. Those who succeed in all tests become chunin, and also become eligible to wear a flak jacket that hold bending scrolls.
