On the sixth day before the Chunin Exams, all participating ninja villages arrived.
There are three major ninja villages: Iwagakure Village, Sandagakure Village, and Kumogakure Village.
There are also three small ninja villages, namely Kusagakure, Takiguro and Raingull. These three small ninja villages are all close to the Fire Country and border each other.
If Konoha has an idea and invites other small ninja villages, they will generally come.
However, there is a huge difference between small ninja villages and big ninja villages, and there is no comparison at all. The arrival of three big ninja villages is enough to satisfy the required momentum, and there is no need to invite other small ninja villages.
Although a large number of foreigners poured in, this did not interfere with the normal lives of Konoha's residents.
Because most of the ninjas who came to take the Chunin Exam stayed obediently in the accommodation area arranged by Konoha.
The Iwagakure was warned in advance by Ōnoki not to mess around in Konoha, so the Iwagakure ninjas were very honest and did not dare to make any unusual moves even when going out to buy things.
As for the Sand Ninjas, they are seizing every minute to train seriously at Rasa's request, so they don't have the time to cause trouble.
The situation with Kumogakure is even simpler. After being severely intimidated by Nagase, they have no intention of causing any trouble. They just want to finish the Chunin Exam quickly and then go back to Kumogakure Village.
The big ninja villages are so honest, not to mention the small ninja villages, who follow suit and stay in the accommodation area, quietly waiting for the Chunin Exam to begin.
But it's not good to keep it in, so on the last day, the three major ninja villages relaxed their restrictions on the ninjas below, allowing them to go to Konoha to relax.
Of course, necessary warnings are still essential, that is, do not cause trouble.
"We can finally take a break. The Fourth Kazekage is so strict." A black-haired girl with a Sand Ninja forehead protector around her neck stretched and complained about Rasa.
"We finally have a chance to take a break. Let's go shopping in Konoha. Konoha is more prosperous than our Sand Village. There must be a lot of skin care products and cosmetics that we don't have there." The black-haired girl invited the companion next to her.
Her companion is also a girl, but her dress is more like traditional Sand Ninja, with her hair wrapped in a white headscarf, and the hanging white cloth almost covers everything except her face.
Maki looked around, sighed and said, "Satoko, this place is not far from the accommodation area. If Lord Kazekage hears you, you will be in trouble."
"Of course not. Lord Fengying should be discussing things with the other adults right now and won't hear it." Riko said proudly.
"Come on, Maki. We've finally made it to Konoha, so we must take a good look around. I don't know when the next time will be." Riko held Maki's hand and said in a coquettish tone.
Maki hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Riko's constant begging and agreed to go shopping with her.
"Great, I knew Maki was the best to me." Satoko cheered softly.
"I really don't know how you developed this kind of personality." Maki looked at Riko with a headache.
People's personalities are actually closely related to their environment. As a country of wind covered by yellow sand, the women in this country are bolder and stronger than those in other countries. Except when they are very young, they rarely act like spoiled brats.
For example, her master, Ye Cang, is the most perfect woman from the Kingdom of Wind in Maki's opinion.
She had never seen Ye Cang show weakness, he was always so courageous and strong.
In Maki's heart, even the Fourth Kazekage is not as good as her master.
Unfortunately, war was cruel. Although her master was an extremely powerful ninja, known as the Sand Ninja Hero, he still died in the war.
"Hehe, we have to be different. If everyone has the same personality, wouldn't this world be very boring?" Satoko gave what Maki thought was a silly smile.
Satoko grabbed Maki's hand and walked happily toward the streets of Konoha.
It was night time. If it were the Sand Village, it would be pitch dark and no shops would be open.
Because in the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and it is too cold at night. No one likes to go shopping on such a cold night, and merchants naturally do not want to open shops in the cold wind for a very small number of people.
But at this time Konoha was brightly lit as if it were daytime. No, it was even more lively than Konoha during the day because some shops were closed during the day.
Riko's eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Konoha at night with curiosity.
Maki was also a little distracted, but he quickly recovered.
No matter how good this place is, it is not her home. Her home is in the Land of Wind, in the Sand Village. Although she is the only one left in that home, there are still many beautiful memories there.
Maybe because they had been confined to the accommodation area for training for several days in a row, Riko was in high spirits and dragged Maki around everywhere. When Maki felt his legs were sore, Riko was still enthusiastic and didn't show any sign of fatigue.
"If he maintains this momentum during training, he might be able to replace Takuya and become the 'ace'." Maki couldn't help but complain.
Takuya is a fifteen-year-old Genin, one year older than Maki and Satoko. He is very powerful and can use all kinds of wind-style ninjutsu with ease. His team is the strongest Genin team among all the Sand Ninjas.
Luo Sha attaches great importance to Takuya and his team, and has recently been personally guiding them in their training.
Of course, Maki doesn’t actually think that he is worse than Takuya. After all, he is a disciple of the Sand Ninja hero Yekura.
However, it is difficult for her to demonstrate her strength in direct combat, because Maki is good at sealing techniques.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter. For something like the Chunin Exam, the important thing is to participate." Satoko said indifferently.
It would be great if you could become a Chunin, but if you can't, just try again next time.
If I really can't get through, I can still be a Genin, and I won't starve to death.
If Nagase heard what Riko said here, he would probably complain that Riko had actually mastered the secret of lying flat.
"He really has no fighting spirit." Maki was speechless and observed a second of silence for the Fourth Kazekage. Even if we do ideological work every day, there are still some people who slip through the net.
"Hey, look over there, is something going on?" Li Zi suddenly discovered that there was a place where a large crowd of people gathered.
Relying on the fact that she was a ninja and her small body, Riko took Maki and forced her way into the innermost circle, arriving at the front row for the melon-eating.
Squeezing into the front row, although Li Zi had not asked others yet, she surprisingly understood the reason for the accident.
Because she saw the forehead protectors of the two people in the quarrel, one was from Iwagakure and the other was from Kumogakure.
The two ninja villages had just formed a great feud in the last war. If it were them, it would be normal for them to have a conflict.
Satoko asked about it, and the process was roughly that the Iwagakure and Kumogakure walked to the street, and a Kumogakure accidentally bumped into the Iwagakure, and then the Iwagakure said, "You're looking for trouble, right?"
Yunyin: "I'm just looking for trouble, so what?"
Then the two sides started arguing.
Perhaps because they had been warned by the elders in the village, although the two sides quarreled fiercely, they were still restrained and did not fight, nor did they affect the people watching the show nearby.
"You bunch of cowards, do you dare to get together and fight in a deserted place? Let you, a bunch of losers who can only win by outnumbering, know how powerful the Kumogakure ninjas are." A dark-skinned, muscular young man challenged the Iwagakure ninjas.
The death of the Third Raikage was a thorn in the hearts of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas. It would have been a fine thing if he had died in a battle of the same level.
But the Third Raikage was besieged by 10,000 Iwagakure ninjas and eventually died of exhaustion.
The Third Raikage's feat of fighting ten thousand alone made the Kumogakure ninjas proud, but the Iwagakure ninjas' feat of ten thousand men surrounding and suppressing one man made the Kumogakure disgusted.
That's why the Kumogakure ninja said that the Iwagakure ninja were all cowards who could only defeat the odds by outnumbering the odds.
Just when one of the Iwa couldn't stand the provocation of Yunyin anymore and was about to clench his fist to attack, a simple-looking young man held down the man's hand.
"Yanta, they are going too far." The boy whose hand was caught said indignantly, as if he didn't understand why Yanta, as a teammate, wanted to stop him.
"Arato, this is Konoha, we are just guests. It is not a good behavior for guests to make trouble in the host's house." Yan Tai forcefully suppressed Arato's hand and said with a simple smile.
"What a pity." Sam Yin, who was standing in the Cloud Hidden Village team, thought to himself what a pity.
If the Iwagakure ninja just now couldn't help but attack, she would definitely let the Kumogakure ninja take the blow without fighting back.
Compared to her companions whose brains are all about muscles, Sam Yin is a rare "wise man" in the Hidden Cloud Village who likes to think about things calmly.
On the day she came to Konoha, Sam Yin felt Nagase's powerful aura like that of a god or devil. In the past, no one could give her such pressure. When she just became a ninja, she also saw the third Raikage.
She was sure that even the Sandaime Raikage, who could fight ten thousand enemies alone, was not even one-tenth as good as Nagase.
At that moment, she made up her mind to be honest and obedient in Konoha. No matter how ingenious the plan was, it would be useless when faced with absolute strength.
No matter how many plans you have, I can break them with one punch.
Nagaze's strength is too unfair. This is in Nagaze's base camp, and there is no hope of victory at all.
So, when the conflict broke out, she did not stop it, but instead ordered Yunyin not to take any action, and then without taking any action, she could attract hatred and ridicule as much as she could.
Because Sam Yin was sure that as long as Iwagakure dared to take action first, it would be the Iwagakure that would be in trouble.
However, Sam Yin did not expect that even after he said so, there would be someone in Iwagakure who could remain calm. Shouldn't this be said to be worthy of being a ninja village that takes rock as its village faith
"What's going on? What happened?"
Most people liked to watch the fun, but some were worried about accidents, so they notified the police department.
Because there are a large number of ninjas from other villages in the village, the police have been patrolling the streets very diligently recently and arrived at the scene very quickly.
"Iwagakure and Kumogakure?" The Uchiha Jonin from the Police Department frowned slightly, then opened the blood-red three-magatama Sharingan.
The Uchiha Jonin looked around and confirmed that no damage had occurred before asking, "What's wrong with you?"
"They started trouble first!" The Iwagakure ninja quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Sam Yin was not to be outdone and immediately explained, "It was the Iwagakure ninja who deliberately crashed into our Kumogakure ninja."
The Uchiha Jonin had a headache. There was no surveillance here. Was it really the Cloud Village hitting the Iwagakure or the Iwagakure hitting the Cloud Village
But this was a small matter after all, the two sides did not fight, and nothing was destroyed, so the Uchiha Jonin thought about it and said:
"I don't care what your purpose is, but I see that you are all relatively young, and many of you may be here to take part in the Chunin Exam. Since you didn't destroy anything or hurt anyone, I'll let it go this time.
But I advise you not to cause trouble, otherwise, not to mention the Chunin Exam, even your return to the village will be delayed."
Iwagakure and Kumogakure looked at each other, gave each other a look that said wait and see, apologized to the Uchiha jonin, and then left.
After Iwagakure and Kumogakure left, the surrounding crowd of onlookers naturally dispersed as well.
"It's strange that there was no fighting. I thought I would see the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure in advance." Satoko said after the crowd dispersed.
"Konoha's prestige is very strong now. If that Uchiha ninja hadn't come, I think they would have continued to quarrel for a long time."
"After all, this is Konoha, and Konoha is too powerful now." Maki said solemnly.
Although Konoha is the so-called ally of Sunagakure, Maki, as a Sunagakure ninja, feels very sad when he sees how powerful Konoha is.
Konoha clearly didn't do anything, but it felt like Konoha suddenly became so strong without anyone noticing.
After a quick victory over Kumogakure, an invitation to the Chunin Exam was given, and the three Kages gathered in Konoha.
It was clear that a few years ago, Konoha was having a hard time facing the offensive of the four major nations and looked like it was on the verge of collapse. It was so strange that it suddenly became so fierce.
Maki couldn't understand.
… … …
Unlike the ninjas from outside ninja villages such as Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Itachi and Kabuto still trained as usual on the last day.
First, Konoha is where they live. Although they are very familiar with the entire Konoha and have been to most of the prosperous places, they do not have the enthusiasm to explore the unknown.
Secondly, they are very interested in Yongze’s rewards. If they want to obtain Yongze’s rewards, they must seize the time they can improve and practice seriously.
"Itachi, can you use breathing techniques in battle?" After practicing, the sweaty Kabuto sat on the grass and asked Itachi beside him.
Itachi nodded, and then said: "It is fine to use it, but it consumes too much chakra and physical strength, and it is also very burdensome to the body. The rational state is to use it for one minute.
Anything longer than a minute will cause harm to the body, but anything under two minutes is not a big problem.”
"It's a pity that there is not enough time. If I were allowed to learn your water breathing and use mixed breathing methods, I would be more confident in this battle." Itachi sighed.
Such a short battle time is okay against ordinary enemies, but two minutes is not enough against a strong enemy like Dou, and it can only be used as a last resort.
He had only been practicing basic Sun Breathing for a few months, and he had been able to achieve this level because of his extraordinary talent and hard work.
"It's okay. The Chunin Exam doesn't represent everything about ninjas, and you're still so young, you're already extremely good." Kabuto said to comfort Itachi.
Although he knew that Kabuto was trying to comfort him, Itachi still felt very awkward when Kabuto, who was only one year older than him, said such words.
He matures precociously, and being comforted by his peers is not something that usually happens in his life.
