Chapter 223

Half an hour later, Anbu reported the conflict between Gaara and Sasuke to the Hokage Building.

After listening to Anbu's report, the consultant duo in charge of preparing for the Chunin Exam frowned, and looked up at Jiraiya ahead, their eyes full of worry.

The conflict between the ninja candidates is not a big deal, but Sa Yin actually sent Jinjuriki to take the chunin exam.

The combination of Jinchuriki and Kazekage is almost all of Sagakushi's current combat strength. Once they want to do something in Konoha, even if Konoha completes the suppression, they will bear an unacceptable loss.

And this is just a force floating on the water, and it is unknown how many conspirators are lurking in the dark.

They keep their eyes on Konoha, ready to stir up the wind and rain in this grand event.

Canceling the Chunin Exam at this time is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice, but for Konoha, the Chunin Exam is not only an arms race, but also an opportunity for Konoha to exert influence on the surrounding Xiaonin Village.

Only by showing enough strength can the rulers of those small countries be convinced and build a defensive alliance centered on the Fire Nation, with many small countries joining it.

In this way, once a war breaks out, the battlefield will be in a small country and will not affect the mainland of the Fire Country.

However, due to the fact that they have already retired, the two of them are not good at talking too much. Hiruzaru Sarutobi will miss the friendship between them, but Jiraiya and Tsunade, who came to power through a coup, will not.

In the final analysis, they have long lost the spirit and strength of their youth, and they just want to take care of themselves quietly.

After reporting on the preparations for the Chunin Exam, the advisory duo left the Hokage Building.

Tsunade glanced at the content of the report, and said to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, why did you invite Uzushio Village to participate in the Chunin Exam, those Uchihas will definitely make trouble in the Chunin Exam."

Tsunade didn't care too much about Sand Yin, but she cared more about the ninja candidates in Uzushio Village.

Although Uzushio Village has an ambiguous relationship with Konoha in recent years, it is essentially a Ninja Village established by ninjas who defected from Konoha. As a descendant of Senshou, she has always maintained vigilance against Uchiha.

Jiraiya also knew Tsunade's concerns, and said with a light smile: "Even if I don't invite them to take the Chunin exam, they will find a way to sneak in. Why don't you just invite them to be guests and reach a deeper level of cooperation earlier."

Two years after becoming Hokage, Jiraiya has obviously become much calmer, gradually holding power in his own hands.

Many things, from the perspective of the Sannin, are completely different from the perspective of Hokage. Just relying on enthusiasm, you may be able to move those ninjas who have just graduated from the ninja school, but you will definitely not be able to move the old foxes in the village.

Regarding the changes in Jiraiya, Tsunade felt the most obvious.

She didn't know if this change was a good thing. Among the three people who fought against Sansho Hanzo together and were given the title of Sannin, she seemed to be the only one who stagnated.

Even as a medical ninja, she couldn't even overcome her phobia, and she hasn't regained her combat effectiveness so far.

Aware of Tsunade's worry, Jiraiya comforted him: "Don't worry, Tsunade, everything is under my control. There will be no troubles in this Chunin exam, and Konoha will be stronger."

Tsunade didn't think too much, and continued to deal with the daily chores of the village.

At this time, Jiraiya also came to the window, looking at the Konoha City in the distance, his eyes became extremely deep, and he was ready for a turmoil.

...

The night was getting dark.

After the shadow clone was lying on the bed and sleeping, Naruto left the hotel under the eyes of Anbu, and rushed towards the location of the whirlpool ancestral hall.

As Konoha's former allies, the Uzumaki clan also retains a presence in Konoha.

The guards of the ancestral hall were two Konoha zhongnin. After Naruto easily bypassed their sight, he went straight to the death mask stored in the Uzumaki ancestral hall.

Naruto frowned after using the technique of inorganic reincarnation and entered the underground of the whirlpool ancestral hall.

There is not a single mask inside the ancestral hall. Could it be that it was taken by the Third Hokage and used as a magic weapon to cast the ghoul seal?

Pity. If he can get the mask that sealed the souls of four generations of couples, he can try to resurrect Minato and Kushina, and get the other half of Nine Tails.

The full body of the nine tails is stronger than the half one, and it can even turn on the heavy particle mode when it is desperate.

Just as Naruto was about to leave, he sensed the traces of time-space ninjutsu. It was obvious that someone had used time-space ability to come here, and within a few days.

Besides him and Kakashi, only Obito is the only ninja who has mastered the ability of time and space in the ninja world.

It seems that Obito is also joining this grand Chunin exam.

After leaving the Uzumaki Shrine, Naruto went to the Hyuga Clan again, and saw Hinata who was practicing bone veins in the dojo. Judging from the amount of chakra, Hinata has undoubtedly reached the level of Jonin.

Naruto didn't disturb Hinata's practice, left a note in Hinata Hizuru's room, and left in a hurry.

Hinata Hinata, who closed his eyes and meditated, noticed Kunai who was clinging to the ground. After seeing the contents of the note, his face changed. After thinking for a while, he looked at the full moon outside the window.

...

next morning.

As soon as Bai and Xianglin walked out of the room, they saw Naruto and Shisui sitting on the sofa. After saying hello, they went downstairs to have breakfast.

What they didn't know was that Naruto and Shisui didn't sleep at all last night and stayed outside all night.

Shisui went to the Uchiha clan and saw Sasuke who was practicing hard in the clan, but because Sasuke was under surveillance by Anbu, he didn't approach rashly and couldn't give Mikoto's gift to Sasuke.

Naruto walked through most of Konoha and completed the preliminary layout.

After breakfast, Naruto brought Xianglin and Shiro to the assembly point of the Chunin Exam, and took the Chunin Exam to become a Chunin, which was his dream for many years as a ninja school dropout.

However, if there is no accident, he is destined not to get the title of Chunin.

The Chunin Exam is a series of events, and no matter what happens, there will always be a sacrificial Kazekage and Konoha Honkai plan, which is essentially a desperate counterattack by Sagakure against Konoha.

After arriving at the assembly point, Naruto looked intently and found many acquaintances.

Leaving aside the nine Xiaoqiangs he met yesterday, Naruto's eyes fell on one of the bespectacled youths.

Naruto had some impression of this young man with glasses.

The other party is the director of the Konoha Orphanage, a perfect immortal pharmacist who can fight against two pairs of kaleidoscopes, but that is all in the future.

Now, Yaoshidou is just a spy left by Orochimaru in Konoha Ninja Village, and his strength is at most comparable to that of the elite Jonin.

However, Jiraiya has also become Hokage, why is Yakushidou still staying in Konoha?

Dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, Naruto took Bai and Xianglin and walked towards Yakushi, one of the future behind-the-scenes masterminds in the ninja world, who was currently selling information on the ninjas of various villages, and was surrounded by a crowd of ninjas.

Intelligence is an important part of ninja battles. If you predict the information in advance, you can formulate corresponding tactics in advance.

At this time, a ninja asked: "Senior Dou, is there any ninja worth noting in this Chunin exam?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses: "This Chunin exam is much more intense than before, and these ninjas must pay more attention. Once you meet them, it's better to obediently give up the competition. After all, you can still participate in the Chunin exam next year." , but there is only one life."

"Master Mianma, he has pronounced my name and Bai's name..."

After the name was read, Xianglin said happily. Then he looked at Naruto, and thought to himself: What level will Mianma-sama be evaluated?

As if aware of Xianglin's thoughts, Naruto smiled, and then passed the crowd, brushing shoulders with Medicine Master Dou.

He didn't care about how Yaoshidou evaluated him, but he was a little regretful that he didn't take Yaoshidou into his pocket in advance. Although Yaoshidou's scientific research level was not as good as that of Orochi Pill, he was still a genius in scientific research.

But at the beginning, he didn't have the idea of ​​leaving Konoha to build Ninja Village.

At this time, Yao Shidou sensed the perception, and suddenly looked at Naruto's position, his eyes were extremely serious.

Unlike this group of new ninjas, he possesses the strength of a jnin and can perceive the existence of natural energy. Among the candidates for the zhongnin exam, how could someone have more natural energy than Chonggo, who was born with a fairy body.
