Chapter 477 477 Ready
Although Konoha and Sunagakure have indeed formed an alliance, the two sides are indispensable for their private quarrels.
Alliance is just a forced one.
Originally, the Country of Fire, the richest among the five major countries, and the Country of Wind, the poorest, should not be dealt with.
But because the Land of Fire was under the management of the first three generations of Hokage, it has always been in a situation where one hand covers the sky.
At the same time, they also made too many enemies, leading to the current embarrassing situation, which also requires an alliance.
After suffering a loss from Yunyin, an ambitious guy, he set his sights on the Kingdom of Wind, the weakest among the five major kingdoms.
After all, weak countries are easier to control and defend than strong countries, and allies do not need to be too strong.
As for Konoha's thoughts, Sunagakure is naturally well aware of them.
But even though they were unhappy, they still agreed.
Who calls you poor?
But economic strength aside, Sunagakure at least felt that in terms of ninja strength alone, Sunagakure would not lose to Konoha.
This time, Gaara, who is the three strongest elites in the village and even a jinchuriki, will be brought directly.
In addition to that plan, it was also to show the current ninja strength of their Kingdom of Wind.
Kakashi personally led the team and led Maki and others to Sunagakure's residence in Konoha. At the same time, he asked: "It is said that Lord Kazekage also plans to go to watch the finals this time, right?"
"Yes, Gaara behind me is our Sunagakure representative this time. Lord Kazekage is also looking forward to seeing the battle between his many talented rising stars in Konoha."
Marky responded calmly.
Kakashi glanced at Gaara and felt that he gave him a very bad feeling.
…
…
After leaving with Maki, Gaara and the others, another group of people from other villages arrived to take the Chunin exams.
What arrived this time was a three-person team from Cao Yin Village.
The leader was a man wearing a straw hat and long hair. It was unclear whether he was a man or a woman. He gave people an eerie feeling.
After taking the pass, the man said in a hoarse and neutral voice: "Thank you so much, Konoha is still as beautiful as ever~~"
Watching the three people leaving, the chunin in charge of issuing passes frowned and muttered to himself: "There are quite a few weirdos from other villages."
"Next person."
After muttering, she subconsciously shouted again.
"Do I need a pass too?"
Hearing this voice, the Konoha chuunin quickly raised his head and looked at the other party in disbelief. After a few seconds, he suddenly reacted and said with panic and joy, "Tsunade, Tsunade-sama, you, why are you back? Already!?"
Tsunade placed her hands on those tall and firm breasts and said calmly: "I'm coming back to see my brother, can't I?"
"Of course it's no problem. You don't need to register. I'll just report it to the Hokage directly later."
The chuunin said with admiration.
However, the chuunin didn't know that.
After Tsunade entered the village, she quickly bumped into the three Kusagakure Village ninjas who had left not long ago.
When he saw Tsunade, the expression of the leader's long-haired Kusakure ninja changed slightly.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Tsunade asked without calling out the other person's name.
"Haha, is it just a coincidence? Or, what are you planning to do?"
The long-haired Kusakure ninja lowered the hat on his head with one hand and made a sound that was half a smile.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in meddling in your mess."
Tsunade said calmly and walked past the other party.
A drop of fearful cold sweat flowed from Kusagakure's forehead.
After arriving at the residence, the person responsible for handling the three Kusagakure village ninjas was a Konoha genin. He had just accepted the D-level task of hosting ninjas from other villages.
Yakushi Kabuto!
"As expected of you, Kabuto. I have been in Konoha for many years and I have never seen many spies as good as you."
In the room, Orochimaru finally revealed his true colors.
"No, Orochimaru-sama, after all, I am not very talented in ninjutsu. It is already very difficult for me to be able to do this."
Kabuto Yakushi chuckled, the glasses on his face reflected, and said: "I wonder... is the plan still going well?"
"Just met an unexpected guy."
Hearing this answer, Yaoshi Kabuto raised his eyebrows.
Just listen to Orochimaru say again: "That guy Tsunade."
"The one who is called the [Sannin] together with Lord Orochimaru?"
Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed, and he pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Could it be that she heard something?"
Orochimaru said: "No, that woman probably just came back to meet her brother."
Yakushi Kabuto hesitated for a moment and asked: "When the plan is implemented, will it..."
"No,"
Orochimaru sneered and said: "That guy hates old man Sarutobi and Danzo to the core. It's already very difficult without doing it himself. Even if he watches Mr. Sarutobi die in front of him, I'm afraid he won't care."
Yakushi Kabuto raised his lips, "Haha, it seems that such a prosperous Konoha is not as beautiful as it appears."
…
…
Gaara, Tsunade.
The chess pieces laid by Quan Nai have been deployed.
And Orochimaru has also arrived.
An invisible shadow enveloped Konoha.
And it was the day after these two "Sannin" came to Konoha.
"I am the Great Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku! Crazy Ghost Jiraiya~~~!!!"
At the gate of Konoha Village, a middle-aged man with long white hair, like a comedian in a drama, sat with strange movements and introduced himself to the guarding ninja at the gate of Konoha Village.
"who?"
However, the chuunin who recognized Tsunade yesterday was off duty today, and his replacement was a young ninja who had just become a chuunin.
Looking at Jiraiya like he was an idiot, he was about to call the Hyuga Guards.
"Slowly!"
Jiraiya quickly stopped him and handed the other party his ninja identity book.
At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Really, you haven't been back to the village for so long, have you forgotten me?"
Seeing that it indeed had the Hokage's seal on it, the young chuunin let the other person go.
Even when he saw the name "Jiraiya", he didn't remember who this person was.
Jiraiya couldn't help but feel even more shocked.
…
The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Although the Senju clan has recovered some strength now, let alone returning to its heyday, even if it wants to return to small and medium-sized families like Inuzuka and Aburame, it will still take some time.
But at least it's not as lifeless and cemetery-like as it was ten years ago.
After Tsunade came back, the few remaining Senju clan members in the small Senju clan greeted her warmly and still called her "Princess Tsunade".
I just arrived at the door of my mansion.
Tsunade only heard the voice of a carefree kid coming from inside:
"Uncle Nezuki, let me tell you! Mr. Kakashi has already registered for us to register for this year's Chunin Exam. By then, I, Uzumaki Naruto, will definitely take a step closer to becoming the Hokage!"
