Chapter 288 Hyuga clan meeting
Natsume noticed Terumi Mei's hesitation and could guess what she was thinking.
"Are you worried that Kirigakure Village is not performing well?"
If someone else had asked this question, Terumi Mei would have melted and sprayed it out.
Although the younger generation of Kirigakure Village is indeed worse off, this is a family scandal and cannot be talked about outside.
But as far as Natsume is concerned, there is no need to hide anything.
Terumi Mei felt that he might know Kirigakure Village better than she did.
After all, I have relied on him for development in the past few years.
There are no secrets.
Terumi Mei sighed and said, "I do have this kind of worry."
"Let's do this. The second and third games will be held in the Kingdom of Water."
Natsume thought for a moment and said, "Your Kirigakure Village is familiar with the terrain and already has many advantages."
Terumi Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Most of the ninjas in Kirigakure Village use water escape.
If you are in a country of water, where the sea is everywhere, water escape will get a good bonus.
"In addition, holding such a large-scale chunin exam can also yield certain benefits."
Natsume added.
The most straightforward ones are accommodation and food.
All major ninja villages participating in the competition and the nobles watching had to pay.
Terumi Mei nodded.
But she didn't care about the money.
She values visibility more.
Kirigakure Village was almost cut off from other ninja villages due to the bloody rule.
Things only improved after Terumi Mei became the Mizukage.
However, some countries still do not trust it.
If a joint chuunin exam could be held, perhaps the image could be reversed.
"Thanks."
Terumi Mei said gratefully.
Under normal circumstances, as the Hokage, Natsume would not be able to care so much about Kirigakure Village.
He just did it for her sake.
I have to say that Terumi Mei was still very moved.
This guy is pretty good.
It would be best if you don't make her angry too often.
"It's just a small thing."
Natsume smiled nonchalantly.
The so-called geographical advantage is not actually an advantage.
The only ones who can take on important responsibilities in Kirigakure Village are Chojuro and Kito Suigetsu.
The rest of the genin have reached the second level at most.
In fact, there is also Sand Hidden Village in the same situation.
The ones with some strength are Gaara, Temari and Kankuro.
At most add a violet.
An original anime character.
It is the same positioning as Xiao Li.
But he has better talent.
He created his own Seven-day Calling Technique, the effect of which is quite similar to the Eight Gate Dunjia.
Konoha Village is slightly better.
After all, he has the backbone of the Twelve Xiaoqiang.
There are relatively many geniuses.
"You have a good chance of winning."
Terumi Mei glanced at him and said.
"I just don't really care."
Natsume told the truth, "The Chuunin Exam cannot determine anything. In the end, it all depends on the overall strength of the village."
Terumi Mei was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Indeed."
Kirigakure Village is gradually getting stronger, and it is not in a hurry to show anything in a Chunin exam.
Although this problem is indeed a bit serious for the younger generation.
Terumi Mei took out a breath and asked: "When is it planned to be held?"
"Let's take a month."
Natsume thought for a while and said, "It should be enough to prepare."
"Um."
Terumi Mei responded and asked, "Where is the venue and exam content?"
"It's almost the same as before."
Natsume said his thoughts casually.
The first level is a written test and a theoretical test, which are held in Konoha Village.
The second level is the test of the ninja team.
In the original work, you compete for the scrolls of heaven and earth in the forest of death. After gathering two scrolls, reaching the designated location is regarded as clearing the level.
Now, just plan a road from Konoha Village to Kirigakure Village, the rules remain unchanged.
The third level is personal competition. There is nothing to say, so just carry on as usual.
"How about leaving the route planning for the second level to you?"
Natsume asked with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?"
Terumi Mei raised her eyebrows and asked.
"What's the point of cheating?"
Natsume shrugged and said, "And I believe you."
Terumi Mei immediately looked away after hearing this.
She looked at the file on the table and said softly: "I'll give it to you in a few days."
This is undoubtedly a promise.
But she had no reason to refuse.
Although I won't cheat, it can be done with a little care of Kirigakure Village.
For example, find a familiar route.
"Any thing else?"
Seeing that he didn't leave or speak, Terumi Mei asked doubtfully.
"There is indeed one more thing."
Natsume jumped off Mizukage's desk, walked to the door, locked it, and then casually set up a soundproof barrier.
"You...can't be here!"
Terumi Mei realized what he wanted to do, her face turned red and she said.
"Of course you have to discuss things with Mizukage-sama in the office."
Natsume stretched out his hand, grabbed her collar, and said softly, "Let's talk about hundreds of millions."
The sound of fighting sounded.
It didn't stop until dusk.
a new day.
Natsume handed over the affairs of the Chuunin Exams to Yuhi Kurenai.
With the Anbu running around, almost most of the ninja world already knew about it.
It didn't take long for him to receive news of rejection from Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
In the original work, they did not participate in the two joint chuunin exams.
Nowadays, it is normal to refuse.
In fact, Iwagakure Village, like Kirigakure Village, has no successors.
Only Deidara and Kurotsuchi could see through it.
But the former ran away and went to the Akatsuki organization.
In the end, Heitu took the lead.
Facts have proved that it doesn't really work.
Ohnoki also needs support.
This is the case in "Boruto".
He is the Tsuchikage who has been in power the longest, and also the most miserable.
On the other hand, Yunyin Village has many outstanding juniors.
But if you don’t deal with the Leaf Village very well, you won’t participate.
On the third day, Natsume received news of Akatsuki's gathering.
Dark cave.
Through the magic of the lantern body, his vision appears.
Natsume looked around, except for Tendou Pain, there were all figures in blurry colors.
Including Xiaonan.
At this time, she followed Ena Uzumaki to the Land of Fire for personal protection.
"Konoha Village plans to hold the Joint Chuunin Examination next month."
Konan said, "There should be many ninja villages participating by then."
"What does this have to do with us?"
Deidara yawned and said, "I have no interest in those genin."
"Maybe there will be a Jinchūriki."
Xiaonan said calmly.
She was just guessing, so she wasn't sure.
"Why bother?"
Zetsu smiled and said, "I know the location of most of the jinchūriki, so I can just go to them and capture them."
"The location of Erwei is currently unknown."
Konan shook his head and said, "Even if we get the other tailed beasts, we won't be able to carry out our plans for the time being."
"What should we do? Just wait?"
Deidara suddenly interrupted and asked.
"of course not."
Konan thought about it and replied, "Ame Hidden Village will participate in this Chunin Exam. I will let them confirm whether there are jinchūriki among them. If there are, we will take this opportunity to capture them."
Natsume couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
This operation is the same as in the original work.
But it was during the second joint chuunin exam.
Amegakure Village sent Hyuga and other genin, and finally realized the identity of Takigakure Fu's jinchuriki.
"This joint chuunin exam will attract the attention of half of the ninja world. Konoha Village, Sunagakure Village, and Kirigakure Village have all confirmed to participate."
Xiaonan continued, "Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village do not have them, so I called you to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails."
I see.
Natsume had been thinking before that if it was just referring to Hyoka and others looking for the Jinchuuriki, there was no reason to let them come.
After all, it hasn't started yet, and I don't know if there are jinchūriki.
If not, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
"The four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Zi has defected and is not in Iwagakure, but White Zetsu has determined his location."
Konan began to give orders and said, "Let Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame handle it."
Lao Zi is good at melt escape.
Kisame's Water Release is his nemesis.
Coupled with Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, it is almost at your fingertips.
"The Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki, give it to Scorpion and Deidara."
Xiao Nan glanced at Deidara and said, "Iwagakure Village is surrounded by rocky mountains and has strong defenses. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to enter. But Deidara, you are different. You can come and go at will."
Deidara is the apprentice of Tsuchikage Onoki.
And he was not declared a rebel ninja.
Onoki and Kurotsuchi actually didn't know that he had joined the Akatsuki organization.
"no problem!"
Deidara chuckled, not hesitating because it was Iwagakure.
It's not that he doesn't miss his old friendship, but someone has to go anyway, so it's better for him to go.
The loss may be smaller.
It can be regarded as the last step to help Yanyin Village.
If that old man is sensible.
"Rabbi the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki."
Konan looked at Natsume and said, "Takashi and Kakuzu."
The Eight-Tails is the most powerful tailed beast besides the Nine-Tails.
The jinchuriki Rabbi is not weak either.
Combining the two into one, really few people can win.
Moreover, there are four generations of Raikage in Hidden Cloud Village.
After comprehensive consideration, Xiaonan felt that Natsume was the most suitable.
He possesses Wood Release and his strength is unfathomable.
Coupled with Kakuzu, there should be no problem in capturing Kirabi.
Natsume nodded casually.
As Takashi, there is no reason to refuse.
But should we catch him?
He thought for a moment and decided to follow Xiaonan's instructions and arrest him.
Anyway, Yunyin Village is the enemy.
If Konoha Village wants to unify the ninja world, it cannot avoid them.
And given the personalities of the Fourth Raikage and Kirabi, they definitely would not surrender.
They were not two Yuki people, and Natsume was not interested in spending any more time.
Besides, without Erwei, the Akatsuki organization's plan will not be carried out for the time being.
The jinchūriki will probably save their lives.
But it doesn't matter if you die.
The rally is over.
Natsume returned to Konoha Village.
The arrest was to be carried out during the Joint Chunin Examination.
So, it’s still early, so there’s no need to rush.
After the most critical third level of competition begins, it will not be too late to go to Yunyin Village.
Sunday.
The clan meeting of the Hyuga clan.
The specific time is nine o'clock in the morning.
Natsume arrived early after eating breakfast.
In the meeting hall, there were only four people, Hyuga Hizashi, Hyuga Hizashi, Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji.
Although Hinata Hanabi does not go to school, she is young and will not participate for the time being.
As for Hinata Rinka, Hinata and Hinata have always been the main ones and did not join in the fun.
"Hokage-sama."
Hinata Hizashi reported, "The separated clansmen have all replaced the caged birds with new ones. They are very supportive of what happened today. Only Hiroshi Hyuga is kept in the dark and does not know the situation."
"Then there's basically no big problem."
Natsume said with a smile, "The only thing you need to be careful about is that Hiroshi Hinata will fight back and may hurt others."
"He is old and his strength is not as good as before. He will not make any waves."
Hinata Hinashi smiled and said, "And with the Hokage here, he has no chance at all."
"I just took a look today."
Natsume said casually, "Although I am Hokage, this is a family matter within the Hyuga clan after all."
Hinata Hinashi's heart tightened when he heard this.
The previous Hyuga clan was indeed like this.
Even the Hokage couldn't interfere.
"Where are you talking, Hokage-sama?"
Hinata Hiashi said quickly, "Even if it's a family matter, you are Hanabi's brother, so you are naturally qualified."
Natsume raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I don't mean anything else."
No matter what the Hyuga clan did, he actually didn't take it seriously.
If it weren't for Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hanabi, he wouldn't bother to care.
If you are disobedient, just give him physical persuasion and the problem will be over.
How could it be as gentle as now?
Hinata Hizu didn't know what to say when he heard the words, so he could only remain silent.
"Natsume-nii."
Hinata Hinata spoke in time to break the silence. She asked, "Are you watching here?"
"no."
Natsume rubbed her head and said, "Hyuga Hiroshi would naturally restrain himself if he saw me, and that would be meaningless."
His reputation is now at its peak.
Hinata Hiashi refuses Hinata Hanabi's caged bird.
In fact, the best way is for Hinata Hiroshi to find Natsume.
But he didn't.
It shows that he is not too stupid.
He knew that if he touched Natsume's brow, he would definitely die miserably.
You can only live in a nest.
Hinata nodded.
In fact, she had this in mind when she asked this question.
I have to say that the book Natsume read to her was indeed effective.
She now has her own opinions on many things.
"I'll leave first."
When Natsume saw that it was almost time, he disappeared.
Hinata and Hizu looked around a few times, but found no trace of him.
In this regard, one can only marvel at his strength.
Natsume reappeared above several people's heads.
He casually set up a barrier.
This place is located deep within the Hyuga clan. Under normal circumstances, no one would scan around with their Byakugan open.
But just in case.
After all, Natsume had something else to do.
For example, petting a cat.
He called out.
The black cat's muscular figure appeared.
She walked on the roof as if there was no sound.
After seeing Natsume, she licked her mouth and sat in his arms.
Not far away, people were approaching.
The black cat was frightened and his body trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid, they can't see you."
Natsume touched her head and said with a smile.
Black Cat felt relieved.
"But don't make any noise."
Natsume paused and then said, "If you are too loud, I won't be able to hear what my lovely apprentice is saying."
The black cat was slightly startled.
This is a bit difficult.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and didn't make any sound.
Four thousand words.
