Chapter 434 Arriving at Konoha Again

Time passes day by day.

Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Kakashi and other leading jonin to the conference room of the Hokage Building.

"I summoned you for no other reason than to see the people around you, and you should understand."

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said was naturally known to the jonin here, and it was about the Chunin Exam.

Sarutobi Asuma asked, "Has it been reported to other countries? After all, ninjas from other ninja villages can be seen in the village from time to time."

Xihi Kurenai also asked immediately: "Then, when is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen announced: "One week later, then, it is officially announced that seven days from today, on July 7st, the Chunin Selection Exam will officially begin!"

...

"Wow, Konoha is really prosperous."

Sakon looked around curiously and exclaimed.

Chiba and his group have arrived in Konoha, and entered Konoha as ninjas from the Otogakure Village.

Jirobo also successfully entered Konoha as a tourist.

Kidomaru and Sakon were both wearing cloaks.

After all, Kidomaru's six arms and two heads, left and right, are still quite scary.

So in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, wearing a cloak can be much more convenient.

Uzumaki Soranai looked at the familiar Konoha and stretched: "To be honest, I miss Konoha a lot when I come here again."

Chiba looked at Uzumaki Aonagi and reminded him, "Remember, this is your first time in Konoha. If you don't want to fail your promise with me, then be careful."

Uzumaki Aonagi was embarrassed for a moment, and replied: "I know, Lord Ara Yoshinori~"

Qianyu clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go to the hotel that Konoha arranged for us. There are still a few days before the Chunin Exam begins. You can wander around Konoha, but don't cause trouble, understand?"

"Understood!"

Chiba and Orochimaru brought Uzumaki Aonagi and others to the inn. After putting their things in the room, Uzumaki Aonagi couldn't wait to leave the inn with Kaguya Kimimaro and others to stroll the streets of Konoha.

In the hotel room.

Chiba and Orochimaru leaned against the window and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Qianyu asked with a smile: "Teacher, how does it feel to be here again? Do you feel that nothing has changed?"

Orochimaru said calmly: "Yes, nothing has changed, but this also shows that Konoha has made no progress in all these years, right?

He always wants to maintain the status quo, but maintaining the status quo means being unwilling or afraid to change the current state, methods or concepts, fear of the unknown, resistance to change, or inertial dependence on the current state.

However, when the external environment or internal conditions have changed significantly and the subject still adheres to the original practice, this 'maintenance' becomes an obstacle, hindering the possibility of progress, development or innovation.

He thought that maintaining the status quo was the best, but he didn't realize that he had put the village in a state of no future. No progress means regression. While we are stagnant here, the outside world has not stopped. "

Qianyu looked at the people coming and going on the street with a somewhat disdainful smile on his face: "Haha, after all, Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages, one of the five most powerful ninja villages in the ninja world. They think there is no need to change, but this beautiful dream is about to be shattered."

Orochimaru looked at Chiba and said, "Aren't you going to meet your disciple?"

Chiba replied, "Let me find out the situation here first before I go meet them. Although I have arranged for Snake to monitor Konoha, I haven't observed Konoha for a long time. Kakashi is now Naruto's leader and teacher. Maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen is focusing on observing Kakashi now. For safety reasons, let's forget about it for now. As for Neji, I can't rush into the Hyuga clan territory."

Orochimaru asked, "I heard you say Neji is going to take action, right?"

Qianyu nodded: "Well, I have already informed Leiya and the others. They will enter the Land of Fire later and be ready to pick us up at any time."

Orochimaru also had a faint smile on his face: "I'm really curious, after this incident, under such a shock, what will Konoha become?"

Qian Yu said disdainfully: "That depends on Minato Namikaze. If Minato Namikaze is courageous, he will carry out reforms, overthrow all the structures established by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and re-establish a new set of rules.

But I don’t think Namikaze Minato is a man of courage, because reform means sacrifice, and he is so indecisive that he wants to reform, but in my opinion he can’t do it anyway.”

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Maybe after he learned the truth, he changed. I have seen many people whose personalities changed drastically when their lies were exposed and the cruel truth came out."

Chiba chuckled, "Maybe, but it has nothing to do with us. Namikaze Minato is Miyuki's husband and Naruto's father, so let Miyuki and Naruto decide what will happen to him in the future. But I'm willing to add fuel to the fire. After all, I've never hated someone so much, and he's the one I've hated since I was a child."

Mention Minato Namikaze and Minato Namikaze will arrive.

Namikaze Minato, who had just finished teaching Uzumaki Naruto, returned to the Ninja Hospital accompanied by Nara Shikaku.

Minato Namikaze seemed to sense something, looked up at the window of the inn, and saw Chiba and Orochimaru.

Chiba waved towards Minato Namikaze and said with a smile: "You are the Fourth Hokage, right? I am the leader of the students from Otogakure Village who came to participate in the competition. I have heard about your deeds, the Fourth Hokage. You are my idol. I am so excited to meet my idol!"

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently at Chiba: "Hello, welcome to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exam, and I hope you have fun in Konoha."

Qian Yu asked in a very sinister tone: "The Fourth Hokage, can you give some support to our Otogakure?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "Well, good luck to you ninjas from the Sound Village. I hope you can get a good result in this Chunin Exam."

Qianyu smiled brightly: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, we will do our best and have a lot of fun! Take care~"

After watching Minato Namikaze leave, Chiba smiled and said to Orochimaru beside him: "See, he hasn't changed either. According to the teacher, he hasn't made any progress at all."

Orochimaru raised his head slightly, looked at the Konoha buildings in the distance and said, "Let's see, under the ravages of this strong wind, whether the windmill called Konoha will fall apart or continue to turn."
