#70 - Namikaze Minato's curiosity about Seiji

At the same time, in the Hokage Building.

Many ninjas were gathered here, with most of the Jonin assembled in this place.

The Chunin Exams are a top priority event every year, requiring the reception of many ninjas from outside the village.

During this period, vigilance is also needed to prevent infiltration by forces from outside the village, so utmost caution is necessary.

If any riots occur in Konoha, it would be no less than a huge blow to Konoha's reputation.

The Daimyo would suspect Konoha of negligence, thereby reducing funding.

"Should I go and be a proctor for fun?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin.

He was tall, with long red lines on his face, and white hair that reached his waist, looking like he was wearing a white hedgehog's spikes.

He was wearing a red coat and wooden clogs on his feet.

It seemed that more people had come this time than in previous sessions.

Then he could see more beautiful women and could steal... oh no, gather material.

This was for a grand work in his mind, although it was just a prototype and had not yet been written.

"Idiot."

Tsunade punched Jiraiya, hitting him on the head.

Seeing Jiraiya's lecherous look, she knew he was up to no good.

"That hurts, Tsunade."

Jiraiya immediately restrained the expressions that had just appeared, covering the spot where he was hit.

Tsunade's monstrous strength was great even in a normal state, and it hurt a lot to be hit.

The other Jonin habitually ignored Jiraiya's appearance.

The Third Hokage's three disciples were all strong, but unfortunately, two of them had personality problems.

One was always improper and liked to peep since he was a child.

One was naturally fond of gambling and lost more than he won.

Only Orochimaru was considered proper.

"Sarutobi-sensei is looking over here."

Orochimaru said with a faint smile, licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

Jiraiya's expression immediately became serious.

Tsunade was still listening to the exchanges between the Konoha high-level officials and these Jonin with boredom.

She rested her hands on her chest, as if supporting this heavy burden.

"Next is the arrangement of the proctors."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was satisfied with Orochimaru's stability, but unfortunately, Orochimaru was too close to Danzo.

Infants and ninjas often disappeared in the village, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi think too much.

He was afraid, afraid that his proud disciple would go astray like Danzo.

Then, he looked at another young man with a gentle smile.

Minato Namikaze.

This was a ninja with a pure Fire Will.

"Orochimaru, you are responsible for the first main proctor, Minato, you are responsible for the second exam's main proctor, helping other proctors to proctor together."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order.

With his experienced eyes, he could see that Minato's qualifications were extraordinary.

The S-rank "Flying Thunder God Technique" required extremely high talent, and almost no one in Konoha could learn it.

As a result, it was opened to Minato Namikaze for learning, and he mastered this ninjutsu, which had been lost since the Second Hokage's death, in no time.

"Understood, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.

"Yes, Third Hokage."

Minato Namikaze responded.

He also wanted to see the newborn "Jade".

And to see... Kiyoshi Uchiha, whom Kushina often mentioned recently.

............

It was night.

The Uchiha held a gathering.

In the secret room under the Nanga Shrine, the dim fire basin illuminated everyone's faces.

"Remember, this Chunin Exam is extraordinary and may determine the future trend."

Fugaku Uchiha stood at the front and said in a deep voice.

More than forty years have passed since the founding of the village, and a total of two world-wide ninja wars have occurred.

When will the war break out?

Is the scale of the outbreak larger or smaller than the previous two?

All of this is unknown.

Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones in the dark.

Including Fugaku.

Listening to Fugaku's impassioned speech above, he wanted to maintain the previous style and show the glory of the Uchiha.

Kiyoshi, sitting at the back, was expressionless.

Taking the ending of "Naruto Shippuden" as a depiction point and reverse deduction.

It will be found that within less than a hundred years of the founding of the village, four world-class wars have accumulated.

All of this is because of resources and money. These contradictions that cannot be solved through production can only be plundered through war.

Hashirama distributed the tailed beasts to maintain the balance of the tailed beasts. What he can maintain is only false peace.

As soon as he died, a war broke out. The major countries also argued endlessly and used the tailed beasts distributed by Hashirama as weapons of war on the battlefield.

"This time, I hope you will work hard."

Fugaku named several ninjas who participated in this Chunin Exam, including Kiyoshi's name.

"Yes, Fugaku-sama, I will definitely show the prestige of the Uchiha!"

Tekka Uchiha was also on the list this time.

Fugaku nodded slightly and looked at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi had also performed a C-level mission during this period, and it was said that he completed the mission excellently.

The employer was very satisfied with Kiyoshi, who had the Uchiha surname.

"Kiyoshi, I hope that in a few days, I can see you put on the Chunin's exclusive combat uniform."

Fugaku said.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi nodded.

Even if he becomes Chunin, Kiyoshi will not put on the green ninja vest.

That's too clumsy.

Kiyoshi prefers to wear a thin, breathable chain armor inside.

Thinking of this, his gaze turned to a certain place in the middle of the clan.

Hazuki Uchiha seemed to feel Kiyoshi's gaze, like a thorn in her back.

She lowered her eyes, her hand grabbing the black trousers on her plump thighs.

I just hope Kiyoshi doesn't really pass.

Then Kiyoshi would be on an equal footing with her in terms of status, and she is also a Chunin.

And she is much older than Kiyoshi, so it is clear at a glance who has higher potential and value.

"I have to take a walk."

Hazuki Uchiha thought to herself, and made a psychological assumption that she would have to spend money with pain.

It's not wise to offend a genius.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the bushes outside the Nanga Shrine at night became more and more quiet.

The clan members came out one after another, ending this gathering.

"Fugaku, are you thinking about something?"

Everyone left, leaving Fugaku alone sitting in place rubbing his eyebrows.

Mikoto stayed behind when she saw this and asked the reason.

"I always have a feeling of unease."

Fugaku Uchiha said.

He can be the head of the clan, so he can naturally see the problem further.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has hinted to them several times that the heads of these ninja clans may break out, so let them prepare for war.

Once Konoha is defeated, the consequences will be incalculable.

No ninja clan leader does not know the truth of the death of the lips and the cold of the teeth.

This makes Fugaku very headache.

"Okay, okay, doesn't our clan still have new power, such as Kiyoshi?"

Mikoto comforted.

War may come, but the Uchiha have jointly resisted countless battles in the long history of the Warring States period for thousands of years.

I believe that the Uchiha clan can still overcome the difficulties this time.

"Yes."

Fugaku nodded.

Kiyoshi can show such genius, clearly perfectly inheriting the power of the two blood succession limits.

Then his potential will be much higher than other Uchiha.

He is a promising talent.
