"Joint Chunin Exam..." In the Tsuchikage Building, Ohnoki sat on a high chair, looking at the information in front of him, lost in thought.
Peace is hard-won. The interval between the Second and Third Ninja World Wars was very short. Everyone cherished this quiet moment and worked hard to recover their strength.
Konoha, the ninja village that suffered the greatest losses in the war, had a separate fight with Kumogakure later on. Even though the war was unexpectedly fast, there should have been a lot of losses. Kumogakure is no pushover.
Logically speaking, Konoha should take advantage of this time to develop well.
Why did they suddenly think of holding such a grand Chunin Exam and invite six ninja villages to participate, three of which are the five major ninja villages at the same level as Konoha.
Although on the surface, Sand Village, Rock Village, and Cloud Village have signed a peace treaty of non-aggression, friendship and mutual assistance with Konoha.
But everyone who understands a peace treaty knows that when peace is needed, it is a peace treaty. When peace is not needed, it is just a piece of waste paper that is uncomfortable to use as a toilet.
Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village had just been severely punished, and Ohnoki didn't believe that the group of rough men in the Land of Lightning could endure this.
If he doesn't take the opportunity to disrupt the Chunin Exam, how can he still be worthy of the word reckless
Inviting so many big ninja villages to come to your own village to take part in the Chunin Exam is simply giving yourself something to do when you have nothing to do.
"Reply to Konoha, I will personally lead the team to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exam." After thinking for a long time, Ohnoki finally spoke.
"Lord Tsuchikage, are you going to lead the team yourself? There is no need. Konoha only invited our ninja village and did not specifically invite you." The Iwagakure ninja said with some confusion.
"So what? Are they going to refuse me to go?" Ohnoki said indifferently.
"That certainly won't happen, but..." The Iwagakure ninja hesitated to speak.
Doesn't this make the Iwagakure clan lose face? Ying went there without any special invitation.
"Go report back to Konoha, I have my own arrangements." Ohnoki waved his hand, signaling the Iwagakure ninja to go down.
Seeing that Ōnoki had made up his mind, the Iwagakure ninja quickly left and prepared to return to Konoha.
Ohnoki used ninjutsu to float down from the high chair, then walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The Tsuchikage Building is very tall. Looking down from the Tsuchikage office, you can see the entire village.
Ohnoki didn't know what Konoha's plan was for preparing for the Chunin Exam with such fanfare.
But he was very curious about what Konoha looked like now.
Because of the previous spy purge operation, all of the Iwagakure spies hiding around Konoha were killed.
Ohnoki didn't care about the death of the spy. As a spy lurking in another country, he was ready to sacrifice his life for his country when he left.
The problem is, all the spies died, and he still didn't understand how Konoha defeated Kumogakure at the speed of light.
Two months after the war started, and even though the large-scale war had not yet begun, suddenly one day, Kumogakure was defeated.
If the defeated one was Sunagakure, Ōnoki could still be understood, as surrender is a basic action.
But that's Kumogakure, a tough nut to crack. Not only is the ninja village powerful, but it also has a lot of reckless men.
How could a group like Yunyin surrender so easily and give up so many benefits for nothing
Oonoki had reason to believe that in this war, Kumogakure was badly beaten by Konoha.
"Fujiwara Nagase, let me see whether you have reached that level." Oonoki sighed deeply.
If possible, he didn't want to go to Konoha in person.
If Konoha is really determined to do something ruthless, he will definitely never come back.
But there was no way out. There was no one to succeed him. Except for one person who was barely pleasing to the eye, the rest were all useless. It was only possible for this old man to go in person.
Later, Ohnoki issued another order, which was to publicize the friendship between Iwagakure and Konoha, and the Tsuchikage would personally lead the ninjas to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exam.
All possible preparations have been made, and what happens next is no longer something he can decide.
… … …
The Sand Village.
Luo Sha was originally thinking about whether Sunagakure should send more elite members of the village to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exam, in order to restore the reputation of Sunagakure and attract commissions.
Because of the constant failures in wars, the Daimyo of the Wind Country no longer trusts the Sand Village and has greatly reduced its annual funding.
That's why Rasa wanted to pass the Chunin Exam and let those wealthy businessmen and daimyos know that he, the Sand Village, is not weak!
However, Rasa was afraid that Konoha might be planning something by suddenly holding the Chunin Exam with great fanfare, so he kept considering the pros and cons.
As a result, I heard that the Tsuchikage would personally lead the team to take part in Konoha's Chunin Exam.
Rasa made the decision on the spot that this time he would lead the team himself, taking the elite Genin of Sunagakure, to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam and restore the glory of Sunagakure.
Luo Sha has confidence in the old fox Ohnoki. Since Ohnoki is going there in person, there shouldn't be any problem.
Even if Konoha wanted to do something and the two of them joined forces, Konoha would have to think about the consequences of taking action.
Moreover, Ohnoki's personal participation would definitely make the Chunin Exam more prestigious and make it easier for him to achieve his goals.
It's not right to rely on his shadow to make money by selling gold sand.
"Reply to Konoha. I will personally lead the team to participate in the Chunin Exam."
"By the way, let's spread the word in the ninja world that we, the Sand Village, have always been a good ally of Konoha. For the sake of the friendly cooperation and development of both sides, we are going to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam." Rasa said as he made the arrangements.
Even though the Sand Village almost had a fight with Konoha a few years ago, this did not stop Rasa from promoting the friendship between Konoha and the Sand Village.
If Konoha wants to do something to Sunagakure at that time, you will be ungrateful and betray your ally.
Although it won't cost Konoha any meat, it's always good to make the other party more cautious.
… … …
Bang!
With a loud bang, a beautifully crafted wooden table shattered in an instant.
The Fourth Raikage's eyes were wide open, and there was a trace of sawdust on his thick, dark palms.
It is obvious that this table died tragically at the hands of the Fourth Raikage.
"That coward Rasa is actually going to lead the team to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam?" the Fourth Raikage couldn't help but ask.
Dodai nodded and said calmly, "Among the three major ninja villages invited by Konoha this time, except for us, Iwagakure and Sunagakure are planning to be led directly by the Kage himself to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exam."
Upon hearing this news, the Fourth Raikage's brows on his resolute face couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know what was wrong with these people. Konoha was just holding a Chunin Exam, but why did they want to lead the team in person? Aren't they afraid of Konoha's conspiracy? Why were they more reckless than him? Even more reckless than the Raikage.
"Are you trying to force me to go to Konoha?" The Fourth Raikage tried to use conspiracy theories to explain the abnormal behavior of Iwagakure and Sandagakure.
"Probably not. Compared to us, the powerful Konoha should be more worthy of being targeted." Dodai thought for a moment and shook his head.
During a war, everyone usually wants to work together to eliminate the strongest enemy.
Since Konoha has always been strong, most of the time it is the one that gets beaten the most.
Of course, since they all had their own ulterior motives, they would always fight Konoha together tacitly, and then fight on their own halfway through, and sneak attacks on their allies were common.
Otherwise, if the other four major ninja villages worked together to fight against Konoha every time, Konoha would not be able to withstand it.
After all, Madara left Konoha and Hashirama died. Although Konoha was still strong at that time, it was already on the decline.
"No matter what, Rasa is going. If I don't go, then I'm worse than Rasa." The Fourth Raikage finally chose not to think about anything, and like Oonoki Rasa, he personally led the team to Konoha.
Tu Tai thought carefully about the pros and cons, then nodded and said:
"It's no problem to go to Konoha. The Kages of the three major ninja villages have gathered in Konoha. Even if Konoha wants to do something, it has to consider the pressure of facing the three major ninja villages at the same time."
"Fourth Hokage, I hope you can take this opportunity to try to unite with other ninja villages to fight against Konoha together." Tsuchi said.
"For this reason, it doesn't matter even if I tell them the reason for our defeat."
"Tell them that... It's okay, but maybe they won't believe it."
The Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki brought 1,700 elite members of the Hidden Cloud Village, but were defeated by one person, and it was a crushing defeat.
If someone suddenly told the Fourth Raikage that the Third Tsuchikage, along with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and thousands of elite Iwagakure, was defeated by one person, that person would even seem to be very at ease.
Then the Fourth Raikage would also think that the other party was dreaming.
His father, the Third Raikage, was extremely powerful. He had cultivated the Lightning Release Chakra mode to an extremely high level and possessed the strongest body.
Therefore, the Third Raikage could fight against ten thousand enemies alone and stop an army of ten thousand Iwagakure.
He relies on his extremely strong body. Ordinary ninjutsu cannot penetrate his defense and cannot even break his skin.
But stopping and defeating are two different things.
The reason why the Third Raikage was able to stop those ten thousand ninjas was because there was no decisive and strong one among them.
Nagase defeated him and Killer Bee easily, and then killed 1,700 elite Kumogakure with one punch, among which there were many good jonin and chunin.
The two sides are completely different concepts.
The Fourth Raikage didn't think that anyone could understand his father, the Third Raikage, better than himself.
Although his father is very strong, it is obvious that Nagase is stronger, and much stronger.
"It's okay, because this is the fact. They will witness the terrifying strength of Konoha now." Tsuchidai said in a deep voice.
They, the Hidden Cloud Clan, paid a heavy price for underestimating Konoha.
Konoha's strength is there. No matter what others think, it is that strong. Sand Village and Iwagakure will know it sooner or later.
"Have them compile a list of Genin. I want to take some elite Genin to participate in the Chunin Exam."
"Now that you've been invited, be prepared to embarrass yourself in your own village," the Fourth Raikage grinned.
He can't defeat Nagase for the time being, so let the Genin of the Hidden Cloud Village regain some face first.
… … …
The ninja world, which had been peaceful due to the lack of war, suddenly became lively because of Konoha's Chunin Exam.
Except for Kirigakure, which is implementing the blood mist blockade policy, the entire ninja world is talking about this matter.
Some even say that the first place in this Chunin Exam will be the most valuable first place in the history of the Chunin Exam.
The organizer is Konoha, the strongest of the five major ninja villages. A total of six ninja villages from other countries participated, three of which are Sand Village, Rock Village, and Cloud Village, which are also the five major ninja villages like Konoha. Moreover, these three ninja villages are led by their respective Kages in person.
This kind of grand Chunin Exam is unprecedented.
Many wealthy businessmen and nobles from other countries heard the news and came to witness history and see what a grand scene this unprecedented Chunin Exam would be like.
This change was something Nagase had not expected.
He originally just wanted to show off Konoha's muscles and promote his newly developed talisman, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.
However, Nagase was also happy to see this situation. The time for the Chunin Exam had not even arrived yet, but it had already caused such a big stir. If he took out his talismans, it would easily shock the entire ninja world.
The more people come, the happier he is, and the more convenient it is for him to use talismans to reap wealth and enrich Konoha.
However, since it is about to cause such a big stir and many foreign wealthy businessmen and nobles are interested in it, the itinerary cannot be the same as before.
Previously, it was separated by the theoretical exam, the battle for the Death Forest Scroll, and the final single battle.
It was not until the final single battle that the daimyo, nobles and wealthy businessmen were invited to observe the Chunin Exam.
But the part where Nagase sells talismans is the Forest of Death part.
So Nagase decided to invite everyone to Konoha to watch the Chunin Exam right from the start.
There was only a two-hour break between the theoretical exam and the Death Forest, and the battle for the Death Forest scroll would immediately begin.
The theoretical exam can be skipped, and after it is over, the Chunin Exam will be broadcast live on a large screen for everyone to watch.
"That's great. I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to help us promote it." Yongze was in a very good mood.
However, since the Chunin Exam has become more important, Kabuto can't just focus on participating, he has to show the style of Konoha and the special warfare team.
Nagase specifically found Kabuto and Itachi who were training together and said:
"This Chunin Exam is different from the previous Chunin Exams. You'd better become Chunin in this Chunin Exam. Then I will give you some rewards."
"What reward?" Dou asked curiously.
Itachi also put away his sword and looked at Nagase curiously.
"It depends on what you want, whether it's ninjutsu, physical skills or money, it's all fine." Nagase said with a smile.
"You can also think of it as a wish. The better your grades are, the higher the level of your wish will be.
If you just want to become a Chunin, your wish can only be 500,000 ryo or an A-level ninjutsu. If you want to become a Chunin by ranking first, 5 million ryo is fine, and you can also..."
“Five million taels…” There was a hint of desire in Dou’s eyes.
They said they could earn money by completing missions, but in the end, informal members of the special operations squad couldn't even take on missions...
He didn't complete any assignment this year after graduation.
Although he was not short of money, all that money belonged to Nagaze, and Dou always felt that something was missing.
Although the five million taels were also given by Nagaze, he finally fulfilled the agreement on his own.
"A wish..." Itachi also showed a thoughtful expression.
