The thirty-second year of Konoha is destined to be remembered by the ninja world.
In September of this year, Konoha Ukawa Country defeated Sunagakure Village and captured the Third Kazekage, taking the lead in ending the war.
Immediately afterwards, after the return of the Third Kazekage, they formed the sand and rock coalition forces to curb the military operations of Kumogakure Village and isolate it within the country of Taki.
Later, with the leak of the news of the Third Mizukage's visit to Konoha, and Konoha's rapid restoration of prosperity with unprecedented vitality, under these pressures, Iwa and Kumo quickly negotiated peace and ended the state of war.
At this point, the vigorous Second Ninja War finally came to an end.
With the arrival of the new year, Uchiha Tatsu looked at the heavy snow in the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been thirty-three years in Konoha..."
Thinking about the scene when he first traveled to this world, thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Because it has been too long, many things in his past life have been forgotten, but there are still some things that he keeps in mind and cannot tell anyone.
This is why he has always felt alienated from the world.
However, time is a good medicine after all and can eliminate everything, but this process is extremely long and painful.
Jiraiya, who was walking aside, looked at Uchiha Chen for a long time and suddenly said: "Orochimaru said that sometimes you don't look like a young man, but like an old man entering your twilight years."
"Sure enough, what he said is absolutely right. I don't know where a young man like you comes from so much melancholy!"
"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Uchiha Tatsu took out a small mirror from his ninja bag, adjusted his hair style, and then said: "He is still as handsome as ever. He deserves to be in his prime, without any flaws."
“…”
Jiraiya made a gesture of vomiting, and then asked curiously: "What were you sighing when you were counting the years just now?"
Uchiha Tatsumi was silent for a long time and said with a smile: "I'm trying to figure out... how long this ninja world can remain peaceful."
Jiraiya shook his head: "How can we fight so quickly just after the war? After the first ninja war, there was peace for more than ten years."
Uchiha Tatsumi retorted: "At that time, the entire ninja world was shattered, which was different from now. Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about the two villages of Iwakumo this time. Although the ceasefire was so quick, the village of Kumogakure did not receive what they wanted. As a result of the battle, Iwagakure Village also resented Kumogakure's sneak attack.
Under such circumstances, peace cannot be maintained for long. "
Although Jiraiya felt it was reasonable, he still managed to say: "We have been fighting for several years and everyone is tired of it, so it will definitely not be what you said."
Uchiha Tatsumi shrugged: "Who knows."
After saying that, they continued walking side by side towards the Hokage Building.
Today, a Jonin meeting will be held. Uchiha Tatsumi and Jiraiya happened to meet at the intersection, so they went together.
Just when he was about to arrive at the Hokage Building, Jiraiya suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I'm inspired. I'm going to write you into my novel!"
Uchiha Tatsu's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Is he the protagonist?"
Jiraiya curled his lips: "How can you be the protagonist? The protagonist is a handsome and extraordinary type like me."
"Oh, it turns out to be a useless novel."
Jiraiya: "..."
He has such a venomous mouth. If it is not illegal to kill a ninja from the same village, he must let the brat in front of him know why the flowers are so red today.
Uchiha Tatsu didn't pay attention to Jiraiya's eyes, but asked casually: "Have you finished writing the "Genshin Ninja Biography"? You said you would write it half a year ago."
Jiraiya smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't worry, I will officially start writing in the second half of this year. I will use the artistic image of the protagonist Naruto to work hard to create a positive image. The two civilized ninjas will blossom and carry forward the will of fire. You need to support me more..."
“…”
"By the way," Jiraiya suddenly hugged Uchiha Tatsu's shoulders and said with a smile, "My book will definitely become popular in the future. How about you consider letting your son be called 'Naruto'?"
“…”
"Hey, don't look like this, think about it, Uchiha Naruto, how nice it sounds!"
Jiraiya recommended it so strongly, so naturally he had his own ideas. The previous few books have been dumped on the street, but this book says that you should not follow the same old path.
As long as Uchiha Tatsu agrees, when he publishes the novel, he will write in the recommendation: A novel that everyone likes after reading Konoha Raiguang, and expressed that he hopes his son will be called "Naruto"!
In terminology, this is called the celebrity effect. Now Uchiha Tatsu's popularity has reached a terrifying level, and the Konoha fan base is extremely fanatical. Jiraiya believes that with such a recommendation, the book will not be popular. Also get fire.
He calculated well, but Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head firmly: "Impossible! I will not give my son the name you thought of when eating ramen."
Don't be ridiculous, is this kind of protagonist's name something ordinary people can bear
Take a look at Naruto's short life:
Both parents died,
The master died tragically,
Another teacher died and came back to life,
Senior brother and senior sister died tragically,
My wife’s cousin died tragically.
My good gay friend always wanted to hack himself to death during his second year in middle school.
The tragedy of first love,
My future wife was stabbed in front of me...
To be honest, the tragedy of Naruto's life began with this name.
Jiraiya was a little disappointed and continued to persuade: "Think about it again..."
"You can ask Minato, maybe he is willing."
"That's my disciple..."
Uchiha Chen said angrily: "So you are trying to trick me in other ways?!"
There was no way to continue the conversation at this point. He couldn't let his son be called this name anyway.
Finally, the helpless Jiraiya prepared to go to Sakumo to give it a try. If that didn't work, he would go to his master's wife, Biwako, who had just become pregnant with their second child, to give him some advice.
Asuma, as soon as you hear it, you can tell that it is not a long-lived name. How can Naruto be loud and elegant at the same time...
In order to prevent Jiraiya from continuing to pester him, Uchiha Tatsu did not sit with him during the Jonin meeting.
This approach obviously made Jiraiya dissatisfied, so his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Uchiha Tatsumi.
However, Uchiha Tatsu ignored him and hurriedly caught up on his sleep.
Not surprisingly, this was another extremely long and boring Jonin meeting.
Uchiha Tatsu had been prepared for this and was accustomed to it.
Although he is not very old, he has been in the system for several years and has become more and more comfortable, like a veteran.
At the end of the meeting, the precise biological clock woke him up. At this time, the Third Hokage had just reached the point.
—Things about the Chunin Exam.
The Third Hokage coughed twice, drank a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then said: "I mentioned this to you two months ago. I believe you have been preparing for this Chunin Exam for a long time.
Originally, it was expected that only Sunagakure Village, Iwagakure Village and several small villages around the Land of Fire would be invited.
But later, the Third Mizukage told me about this matter and planned to send ninjas to participate.
Also some time ago, when the war between Yun and Yan villages ended, the Third Raikage sent a letter saying that they were also interested.
Very good, I was very happy when I received the letter. The other four major countries gathered in Konoha. This is an affirmation of our strength and shows that they are still afraid of Konoha! "
The Third Hokage's voice was cadenced and extremely excited.
But it's no wonder that he is like this. Generally, the Chunin Examination is held by his own village, or several villages are invited to jointly hold it.
But like this time, the Chunin Examination where the five major nations gathered together has not happened for many years.
This marks that Konoha has once again stabilized its situation of having one super player and many strong players.
The Third Hokage paused and continued: "For such a grand occasion, all the elites from each village will come, and Konoha, as the host, faces many challenges.
Therefore, when submitting your list for the Chuunin Exam, I hope all jounin can think carefully and don't do it perfunctorily! "
The Third Hokage glanced below, and then continued: "Then let's start from the first class."
As the youngest Jonin, Uchiha Tatsu stood up without changing his expression and said: "Konoha Jounin Uchiha Tatsu, the people who submitted the list of Chuunin exams, Senju Nawaki, Uchiha Mikoto, and Namikaze Minato."
Although Minato was Jiraiya's disciple, he had already been transferred to the first class, so it was reasonable for Uchiha Tatsu, the leading jounin, to declare.
This is the same as the future Class 7. Although Naruto is a disciple of Jiraiya, if he wants to apply for the Chunin Exam, Kakashi will apply.
"Okay, next one."
"Konoha Jounin Kato Dan, submitted the list for the chunin exam. The person on the list is Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza." (Shikaku was promoted to chunin during the war, see Chapter 11 for details.)
…
…
The list was almost finished reading, and at the last moment, Tsunade woke up from her sleep.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Chen broke out in cold sweat. Tsunade was still so energetic. At the same time, he was also very curious about the registration list of the second class.
You must know that the Chunin Exam is conducted in units of three people. If that is not enough, form a team with others.
In addition to Kushina, the other two people in the second class had been assigned to other teams during the war, so there were definitely not enough people.
He had asked Kushina about his teammates before, but the little fox put him off with a secret.
Now, it’s finally revealed…
"Tsunade, the jounin of Konoha, submits the list for the chuunin exam. The people on the list are Uzumaki Kushina, Yakushi Nonou, and Matt Dai."
“…”
This lineup is truly domineering!
