"Hahaha, the Toad Sage from Myoboku Mountain has appeared!"
A hearty laugh came from the loud speakers. It was Jiraiya standing on a big red toad, proudly introducing himself.
Originally, Jiraiya was standing so high that he couldn't use the recording equipment on the ground to speak, but Jiraiya followed Nagase's idea and thought it was very cool, so he asked for a separate small device and put it next to him.
That’s why I said this line when I appeared on stage.
"This kid is still the same as before." Sarutobi was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiraiya's laughter. He stroked his beard lightly and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
When he was a child, Jiraiya was the same. He always wanted to show off and attract everyone's attention whenever he had the chance. Although he failed most of the time, he always enjoyed it.
After so much growth, Tsunade and Orochimaru have changed to varying degrees compared to before, especially Orochimaru, who makes Sarutobi worried, fearing that he will go to extremes and go astray.
And Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas and a famous ninja in Konoha, still remembers his original intention and tries to show off whenever he can. It is said that his bad habit of peeping into the bathhouse has not changed as usual.
"I didn't expect that Jiraiya, who has always been a headache for me, is now the one who gives me the least worry." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart, secretly talking about the unpredictable world.
Not to mention that the third generation was caught up in memories. After Jiraiya's hearty smile passed, another giant beast appeared. It was a slug, and Tsunade stood on top of the slug's head.
With Jiraiya and Orochimaru deliberately controlling their speed, the slug quickly caught up with the two, and then the three giant beasts lined up side by side. The three ninjas puffed out their chests and raised their heads, looking straight ahead, with a powerful aura.
"Are these the legendary three ninjas? They are indeed very impressive, worthy of being the strong men who once fought against the demigod Hanzo." A ninja saw the three ninjas in the same frame on the big screen and couldn't help but express his feelings.
Not only were there powerful and wealthy businessmen in the venue, but there were also many ninjas brought along by the ninja villages.
After all, when the Kage of Omura goes out, there is no way he would bring only one or two Free-spirited Ninjas and the Genin who are taking exams.
Although no one knows who will protect whom at that time, generally there will be some guards.
It was impossible for all of those people to stay with the tops and shadows, so they were arranged to watch the game at the venue with other spectators.
Although the ninja villages are different, the ninja world has always been based on strength. If you are strong, you have a reason. If you are strong, everyone will respect you even if they are not from the same village.
If there was no formal declaration of war, even if it was a village like Kumogakure or Iwagakure with whom they had a deep hatred, when the jonin of Kumogakure came to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam, they would have to respectfully call Ōnoki "Lord Tsuchikage" when they saw him.
The reputation of the Three Ninjas did not come for no reason. It was won through repeated wars. Therefore, ordinary ninjas, regardless of their village, will have a sense of awe towards them.
"It's really a coincidence that you all came here this time. The three ninjas are gathered together, and even I see them for the first time in many years." The Third Hokage said with a smile.
In the past, Tsunade ran away, Jiraiya traveled around the ninja world, and Orochimaru was obsessed with forbidden techniques and experiments. As a master, it was extremely difficult for him to even take a look at his disciples.
The Fourth Raikage did not say anything, but just turned his big black face away, deliberately not looking at the big screen.
What? They happened to encounter the gathering of the Three Ninjas. They made sure it wasn't because there were too many Kages coming, and then they deliberately gathered the Three Ninjas to show off their military strength in order to intimidate the other countries.
That’s right, the Fourth Raikage felt that Konoha was flexing its muscles to show off to the three big ninja villages.
"We are indeed lucky. We saw the three ninjas who were active in the war. This trip to Konoha was worthwhile." Ohnoki also said with a smile.
Seeing the high-spirited look of the Sannin, Ōnoki's fear of Konoha increased even more.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is a young man in his twenties with a bright future.
Hokage's assistant, Fujiwara no Nagase, may have the same extraordinary power as the two legendary ninjas of the past, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. He is a young man of the same age as Minato.
The three powerful ninjas are still in their rising stage and have good room for improvement. They can maintain their strength for a long time after reaching the peak.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's hair is not completely white yet. Not only is he still at his peak, he is also capable of fighting.
As Oonoki thought about it, his smile turned bitter.
The situation in Konoha was very good and the future was promising, but Iwagakure was facing a huge crisis. Among the entire next generation of Iwagakure, only his son Huangtu was barely presentable, and the rest were not people who could be trusted with important tasks.
Ohnoki finally understands what it means to compare yourself with others. It's so infuriating.
How was he inferior to Sarutobi Hiruzen that he let Iwagakure fall into such a situation
Just as the Tsuchikage was angry about the injustice, the picture on the big screen changed, and the three ninjas and their summoned beasts arrived in front of the examinees.
When the three giant spiritual beasts landed in front of many candidates, many candidates who had never seen giant spiritual beasts were stunned.
Especially when they saw the greedy eyes of the thousands of snakes and their tongues sticking out, some candidates were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.
If it were the Ten Thousand Snakes from before, they would have to be arrogant for a while after being summoned.
But the Orochimaru now is not the Orochimaru in the original work.
Nagase gave Orochimaru a lot of things, but there were also restrictions. Cannibalism like Manabu is definitely something Nagase cannot tolerate.
Nagase personally taught Manza a lesson, and after beating him so hard that Tsunade was almost rescued, Manza became obedient.
However, according to Orochimaru, Manda had not completely surrendered that time, and later returned to Ryuchi Cave to try to find the White Snake Immortal to help him.
As a result, the White Snake Immortal told all the snakes to die far away if they wanted to. The snakes were immediately frightened and dared not to move.
Although Orochimaru himself was not incapable, Nagase took action to show his attitude to Orochimaru.
The three of them cancelled their spiritualism, and the three giant spiritual beasts that had put enormous pressure on the candidates disappeared instantly.
"We are the examiners responsible for the second phase of the Death Forest Battle Royale."
"Orochimaru." Orochimaru smiled evilly, glanced at the examinee, stuck out his unscientifically long tongue, licked his lips, and looked evil.
"Tsunade." Tsunade crossed her arms across her chest, making the already conspicuous peak even more eye-catching. There was a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and her domineering aura was revealed.
"It's Jiraiya, the Toad Sage!" Jiraiya made a strange pose and laughed.
Because they were standing together with Jiraiya, Orochimaru's cold and evil charm and Tsunade's domineering were all destroyed by Jiraiya's antics, and the disappearance of the master's aura made them look a little funny.
"You must be kidding, San... Sannin." The examinee who knew the Sannin was stunned and looked shocked.
Since when did the Chunin Exams require ninjas of the Sannin's level to be examiners, or did the Sannin jointly take charge of a link
The candidate frowned, realizing that things might not be simple.
"Master Jiraiya, Master Orochimaru, Master Tsunade..."
The Konoha ninjas present greeted the Sannin one after another.
Although they didn't know why the Three Ninjas would be the examiners of the Chunin Exam, it was so satisfying to see the shocked looks of the ninjas from other villages, as if they had never seen the world before.
Other big ninja villages are just for fun, but the real big ninja village is Konoha.
"Quiet, I will explain the rules now." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and a little cold. Although it was not loud, it was clearly heard by all the candidates.
As soon as Orochimaru opened his mouth, the place instantly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the stern-faced man and dared not make a sound.
This is the benefit of strength. If an ordinary jonin examiner were to come, he might not be able to control so many candidates.
There are so many people taking part in the exam this time. Even though fifteen groups and forty-five people were eliminated in the previous round, there are still one hundred and two groups and three hundred and six people in the second round.
Among them are many elite Genin trained by various villages, and some may not even be Genin at all.
For example, Sam Yin is actually already a Chunin in Kumogakure, but because she is young, in order to take part in the Chunin exam, she is now nominally a Genin.
Konoha had no way of finding out about these things. After all, ninja information was absolutely confidential among each village, and Konoha could only see what Kumogakure wanted to show them.
Therefore, as long as no one of them is too old to take part in the Chunin Exam, Konoha will turn a blind eye.
If they want to take advantage of this and send Jonins pretending to be Genins to slaughter Konoha's Genins and cause a ninja gap in Konoha, then guess what the examiner is for and what the Anbu hidden in the Forest of Death is for.
Orochimaru first explained the rules that had not changed, which was the time limit. One had to collect all the scrolls of heaven and earth and reach the middle tower within five days to pass the test.
Hearing that Orochimaru was talking about familiar rules, some of the Konoha candidates who were frightened by Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan in the previous round breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the examiner is very awesome, there doesn't seem to be much change in the Death Forest segment.
However, they soon realized that they were overthinking. With the Three Ninjas already out, how could this Death Forest exam be easy
"The above are the normal rules of the Chunin Exams in the past. Now we will explain the new rules added to this Chunin Exam." Orochimaru's words shattered the last bit of luck in the hearts of the candidates.
"We have hidden a large number of talismans in the Death Forest, perhaps in the treetops, in the grass, or under the rocks.
These spells have different powers. If you use them flexibly, you can win the exam more easily."
"There are four types of talismans that can be found in the Death Forest. They are the Thunder Talisman that can release a large amount of lightning, the Earth-Raising Talisman that summons an earth wall, the Water Prison Talisman that summons a circular water prison, and the Medical Talisman that heals injuries." Orochimaru talked about the effects of various talismans.
"There are so many Chinese spells, how come I have never heard of them before? Have you heard of them?"
"No, the only useful spell I remember is the detonating spell."
"Konoha wouldn't bring out some useless stuff to bring into the Chunin Exams, would it?"
"Maybe Konoha has developed something new and is planning to use us as experimental subjects," a conspiracy theorist speculated.
"Aren't you curious? The medical talisman, if it works well, then it would be like having an extra medical ninja following you closely."
Because Orochimaru didn't say anything for a while after he finished speaking, a lot of discussions broke out in the audience.
Especially the medical talisman, the name is really attractive.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate about his effect.
However, most people are not too optimistic about it, and think that the therapeutic effect is worrying. Otherwise, why don't they keep such a good thing for themselves, but instead release it with great fanfare during the Chunin Exam.
Moreover, it is placed in the Forest of Death waiting for the examinees to take it. Aren’t they afraid that they will take it away to their own ninja village and crack the secret
"Earth-raising Talisman? Healing Talisman? Third Hokage, what are these?" The Tsuchikage, who was angry at the injustice of God, didn't care about being angry at the unfair God and asked about the healing talisman.
In fact, he didn't care about anything other than the medical talisman, but Ōnoki was afraid that the Sanda would see through his thoughts at once, so not only did he not only ask about the medical talisman, he also put the Earth-Raising Talisman first.
Although Ōnoki tried to hide his intentions in a panic, the third generation immediately saw through Ōnoki's thoughts, which were to ask about the medical talisman.
There is no other reason. Even Konoha, which has the strongest and most medical ninjas, feels that it does not have enough medical ninjas. Not to mention other ninja villages, which are all extremely short of medical ninjas.
In a small ninja village like Kusanagi, it is difficult to find a ninja who knows even a little bit of medical skills. The so-called hospitals are full of ninjas who only know the basics.
Sandai took a deep puff of his pipe, then exhaled the white mist and said lightly: "This is a new spell developed by Yongze. I don't really understand it. You can ask him."
He accidentally inhaled the white mist into his nose, and the unpleasant smell instantly made Heitu frown. He pinched his nose, moved it to the left, and looked at Sandai with disgust.
Sandai laughed silently, put away his pipe, and stopped smoking.
Although Rasa and the Fourth Raikage did not say anything, they could not help but look at Nagase. They also wanted a medical ninja.
"It's just some minor tricks that are not presentable. I did them in my spare time. It's not worth Lord Tsuchikage's attention. Just continue reading." Nagase smiled and said indifferently.
If Nagase didn't say anything, the Tsuchikage would have no choice. He couldn't just fight him because he couldn't win even if he tried.
But when he looked at the huge screen again, he stared at it carefully, not wanting to miss any detail.
Because Orochimaru began to demonstrate with real talismans.
On the display screen, Orochimaru took out a talisman that glowed with a faint blue light. The talisman was about the same size as a detonating talisman, and the pattern on it was very complicated.
"This is a Thunder Talisman. When it is released, it will release a large amount of lightning."
Orochimaru asked the examinees to disperse, leaving a clearing, then he pinched the Thunder Talisman, injected chakra into it, and quickly threw it to the ground.
Crackling!
Boom!
A violent burst of lightning erupted from the talisman, striking the ground and turning it into a scorched color.
"What a terrifying power." Seeing the momentum of the violent lightning, some Genin who were close to it wiped the cold sweat from their heads. Just now, they almost couldn't help wanting to fall backwards, but luckily there were many people and they couldn't fall down at all. They didn't have to worry about being called cowardly.
Ohnoki looked at Nagase with a puzzled look. You call this a small path that is not worthy of being on the stage? This is a killer weapon that has successfully impacted the ninja tool structure of the ninja world.
