The Jōnin Selection Exams (中忍選抜試験, Jōnin Senbatsu Shiken) are an opportunity for Chūnin to be promoted to Jōnin. The exam structure and evaluation processes differ from one exam to the next so that genin cannot come prepared. Villages originally held their own individual exams. Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, exams that are open to all villages started being held bi-annually, with villages taking turns for hosting responsibilities. These shared exams improve relations between the villages, present up-and-coming ninja to clients, and create an opportunity for gambling.

By having more systematic rank promotions like this, the Shinobi Union targeted to increase the defensive measure to avoid any acts of war to be happened again. These shared exams also meant to improve relations between the hidden villages and the countries of the Shinobi Union. The exams are held once a year and are hosted by a single hidden village/country of any Shinobi Union accordingly. The host country is changeable each year depends on the final decision of the Shinobi Union.
