Chapter 128
After winning the match against Gaara, Team 7 completed the Chunin Exam as they wished. In their previous life, the Chunin Exam was disrupted due to various changes. As a result, they have always been Genin. This regret was finally made up in this life. Although the identity of Chunin is nothing compared to Kage, this is an extraordinary recognition for Naruto. At least it proves that with his current strength, it is very easy to pass the Chunin Exam. Back to the lounge. Sasuke immediately came up. "Naruto, are you okay?" Although he knew that Naruto should have no problem fighting Shukaku with his strength, he was still a little worried. After all, it is a tailed beast, and ordinary people can't resist it when it goes crazy.
Naruto gave a thumbs up and said proudly: "Of course it's okay, Chunin Exam, win!"
"Where's Gaara?"
Sasuke asked.
Naruto is fine, and what he cares about most now is Gaara's situation.
He knows that Gaara is Naruto's good friend.
He is also their important fighting partner in the previous life.
It's just that Gaara is still in a state of madness at this time.
He just released Shukaku in the game.
Although he was defeated by Naruto, I don't know what Gaara feels now.
"Gaara has realized his problem, I believe he will get on the right path in the future."
Naruto grinned and answered.
Sasuke nodded: "That's good."
It's also a good thing for them if Gaara gets on the right path.
In the future, facing the threat of the Otsutsuki clan, Sunagakure can also become a powerful helper for them.
Sasuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Sakura also showed a look of relief.
Turning to look at the big screen.
The next ones to fight are Hinata, Karin, and Hikari.
"They should be fine, right?"
Sakura's mouth corners slightly raised.
Naruto nodded confidently.
"Of course, Hinata and the others are very powerful."
The battle scene call was broadcast live on the big screen.
After a fierce battle, Hinata and the other two finally won the game.
The Chunin Exam is over.
Evening.
"Hinata."
Naruto took Sasuke and Sakura to find Hinata, Karin, and Hikari.
"Well, we all got the Chunin rank, how about celebrating?"
"Sure!"
Hinata looked at Naruto with a happy expression on her face.
She finally won the Chunin Exam, and she is very happy now.
It's not bad to celebrate.
"How about we go have a barbecue?"
Naruto suggested.
"I'll listen to you."
Hinata nodded, acting like a good little wife.
...
At this time.
Hokage's office.
In addition to Tsunade and Shizune, there are several other people in the room.
Tsuchikage Ohnoki looked at Tsunade with a gloomy face and aggressive eyes.
"Tsunade, now that the Chunin Exam is over, we will leave soon, it's time to hand over the person!"
Tsunade was depressed.
Of course she knew who the Tsuchikage was talking about.
From the time Naruto brought Deidara back, she knew there would be such a day.
But she didn't expect this day to come so soon.
But it was Naruto's idea to let Deidara join Konoha.
Although I don't know why he did this.
But I believe he must have his own reasons.
This child will not do anything that is not good for Konoha.
So now she is in a dilemma.
Tsuchikage came in person to ask for the person.
Should she hand him over or not?
After just a moment of thinking, Tsunade already had a plan.
She pretended to be confused, showing a puzzled expression, and said: "Huh? What are you talking about? Who do you want to be with? Why don't I understand?"
"Stop pretending to be confused!"
Oonoki said angrily: "The people of Konoha kidnapped my grandson Deidara. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Do you want to deny it?"
Seeing that the other party directly named him, Tsunade was also helpless. She sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to hand him over to you, but there is really no way. This guy just wants to stay in Konoha and can't be driven away. What can I do?"
The Tsuchikage didn't believe Tsunade's words at all, and said: "You let Deidara come over, I have my own way to make him go back with me."
Tsunade spread her hands, indicating that she was powerless: "I can't find him. This guy is nowhere to be found all day long. I don't know where he is. If you want to find him, I'm afraid you can only ask Naruto."
"Naruto?"
Onoki was stunned.
The image of the boy who defeated Shukaku in the Chunin Exam emerged in his mind.
Was Deidara bewitched by him?
Just when Ohnoki was puzzled by this.
Tsunade really moved him next.
"Tsuchikage, you shouldn't focus on such trivial matters. There are bigger things to pay attention to."
Tsunade changed the subject.
"What is it?"
Onoki looked at Tsunade with a puzzled look.
What else is more important than bringing back Deidara?
In addition to taking the Chunin Exam, they came here this time to bring back Deidara.
Tsunade smiled mysteriously and asked Shizune to go out first.
Then she looked at the Tsuchikage.
Ohnoki immediately understood what Tsunade meant and asked his people to leave.
Tsunade and Ohnoki were the only two people left in the office.
"You can talk now!"
Ohnoki stared at Tsunade.
Tsunade's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Raikage came to Konoha some time ago and got a piece of news from me."
"What news?"
"Mizukage is dead!"
"What?"
Oonoki was shocked.
Mizukage is dead?
When did it happen?
Why didn't he receive any news at all?
Tsunade looked at Oonoki's surprised expression, smiled slightly, and continued: "I know you are confused about this news, but it is true that Kumogakure is deploying troops near Kirigakure. You can find out by just sending someone to check. If Mizukage is not dead, would Raikage dare to do this?"
Oonoki's eyes moved greatly.
His face became deeply solemn.
If what Tsunade said is true.
Then Kumogakure secretly deployed troops in Kirigakure to take advantage of the death of Mizukage and take the opportunity to annex Kirigakure?
Kumogakure wants to quietly expand?
Tsunade saw Oonoki's reaction and knew in her heart that he was thinking about the seriousness of this matter at the moment.
She struck while the iron was hot and said, "Konoha will not participate in the war. This is what I told the Raikage before. If Sunagakure wants to get involved, Konoha can also lend the road to Sunagakure."
Onoki looked at Tsunade in surprise: "What good will it do to Konoha if you do this?"
"Of course."
Tsunade looked at Ohnoki, and a sly look flashed across her face: "If Sunagakure wants to borrow the road, it needs to pay Konoha a toll. Don't worry, it won't be too much, and it's definitely within your tolerance."
"For money?"
Onoki expressed doubts about this.
But thinking about it carefully, it's okay to do it for money.
If Konoha participates in the war, with Konoha's strength, it may not be able to compete with other ninja villages.
But if you give up this opportunity just for money, it will be beneficial and harmless.
As Hokage, Tsunade's decision was not wrong.
After careful consideration, Ohnoki decided to agree to Tsunade's conditions.
After all, he couldn't just watch Kumogakure swallow up Kirigakure.
As for Deidara, he can be moved to the back.
It is also good to let him stay in Konoha.
If there is a conflict with Konoha in the future, Deidara can also cooperate with Sunagakure.
"Okay, I agree to your terms, and I will go back and prepare now."
Ohnoki said.
"Smooth!"
Tsunade grinned.
"I will tell you the specific price later, and I will never embarrass the Tsuchikage."
"Humph!"
Ohnoki snorted coldly and did not answer.
Turned and left.
He would go back and prepare for the war immediately.
...
A hidden cave.
Nagato learned from Obito that the Rinnegan appeared in Konoha Village.
"What?"
"The Rinnegan appeared in Konoha?"
There was a look of surprise in Nagato's eyes.
A trace of surprise flashed across his tired eyes.
He always thought that he was the only one who had the Rinnegan.
Unexpectedly, there are other people who also have the Rinnegan now.
How is this possible?
"Could it be fake news?"
Next to him, Konan, who was wearing a black robe with cloud patterns, looked at Nagato with a serious expression.
Recalling what the masked man had just said.
For a moment, he was not sure whether it was true or false.
But this news might sound unreal.
How could there be someone else in this world who possessed the Samsara Eye?
"Impossible!"
Nagato thought for a moment and denied Konan's guess.
"Although that guy's purpose is not pure, the news is generally impossible to be false."
"What should we do?"
Konan asked with a frown.
Nagato thought for a long time and said, "Let Jiraiya and Bai go to Konoha to find out if there is any hidden information!"
He was worried that the information given to him by the fake Madara was not completely true, and it might be a mixture of true and false.
It would be better to send someone to find out more clearly.
And this opportunity will be given to the newcomers who have just joined.
Jiraiya and Bai!
Because
Naruto's appearance changed the course of history, leading to a butterfly effect.
Those who were supposed to join Akatsuki did not join this time.
And Jiraiya and Haku became new members of Akatsuki.
And this will be their first mission after joining Akatsuki.
