‘Wow.’

Along with the slight sound of wind, an ANBU elite wearing standard ninja uniforms and white masks suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office.

Then he respectfully walked to the desk and held up the letter in his hand.

"Lord Hokage, this is a message from the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of the Sea."

While submitting the letter, he also opened his mouth to report the report.

However, compared to the irritability factor that began to surge in the room, his voice seemed relatively calm, and he did not wonder why there were so many letters pouring in in one day.

After all, the Joint Chuunin Examination after many years is a grand event, and it is natural that the surrounding forces would show concern and send letters to the Hokage-sama.

"Um."

"Go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and responded simply.

As for the two letters in his hand, even before he opened them, he had already thought of what they would contain: they must be related to Uchiha Ara!

Sure enough, when he opened the edge of the letter, stretched out the paper, and his eyes touched the distinctive name, his old eyes trembled slightly without being startled.

The general meaning of the words in black and white is that I want to see the Uchiha clan in this joint trial, especially the young man named Uchiha Ara.

This impression is very important for them to choose partners and make entrustments in the future.

Moreover, these two countries are forces not far from the Land of Fire, and they have also been regular patrons of Konoha for a long time.

Especially the country of the sea.

When the misfortune occurred in the Kirigakure Village in the Water Kingdom across the country, and now that it is closed and closed, almost all the ninja commissions needed by the Sea Kingdom have fallen into Konoha's pocket.

This brought them huge rewards.

After all, there is an endless stream of pirates on the navigation line, and ninjas need to be hired for long-term escort.

"Uchiha Ara,"

"It must have been the trouble caused by that bastard Uchiha Ara!!"

"He wants to use this joint examination to help the Uchiha clan regain their prestige in the village!"

Koharu, who was sleeping under the same roof, instantly read the unnatural and hesitant expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, and immediately said with gritted teeth.

The fact that no one in the clan of the right age had signed up to take the Chuunin exams directly attracted the interest of powerful daimyo from other countries and attracted the attention of prominent leaders in the entire ninja world.

Then put pressure on Konoha, and maximize the attention and expectations of himself and the clan behind him.

【Oh, playing hard to get.】

[It’s really a good way to gain fame and rebuild prestige!]

"As expected, that clan has never given up on the idea of ​​fighting for power in the village!!"

Looking at his old friend with a face full of vicissitudes of life and a head full of white hair, looking helpless, Xiaochun turned to bed and once again spoke loudly to stimulate the general!

she hates,

And she was extremely disgusted,

Unfortunately, the tough Danzo is no longer in the village, and with Hiruzen's character he will only passively compromise.

And they must still keep saying they are compromising for the sake of the overall situation.

[The Uchiha clan is really going to regain its reputation this time!]

Thinking of this, Zhongqing Xiaochun, who still had not received any strong response, stood up angrily. She no longer wanted to stay here anymore and heard the final conclusion.

Because she has already foreseen the future.

Now only by contacting Danzo, who has defected from the village, and secretly recalling him to assist or even take charge of power can such a thing be stopped!

However, the old fox has been missing for too long, and not even a message has been sent back. It is as if the whole person has evaporated from the world.

But there is only one thing that Xiaochun firmly believes in: that old guy will never die easily!

Right now, he must be huddled under a dark perspective, spying on everything in Konoha, and waiting for opportunities.

At this time,

A traveler walking on crutches and wearing a cloak suddenly stopped in front of a certain boundary marker.

After thinking about it for a while, he slowly turned his body and looked quietly toward the southwest.

And through the skylight that has not yet completely dimmed, half of an old face and some shadows of white bandages can be seen from under the face-covering cloak.

This kind of gaze lasted for a short while, and the half-century-old man seemed to be reminiscing, or secretly making some determination.

But just as he turned around and prepared to cross this clear boundary marked by wind and rain, a vigilant voice suddenly burst out from the opposite side of the boundary marked by the boundary.

"Who are you, stop quickly, this is..., woo woo!"

However, this kind of scolding could not be maintained for too long. Even the door of the house was not fully protected, and a strong black shadow quietly touched behind him and touched his neck with a sharp knife.

Blood splashed on the grass, and the lifeless body quickly turned to ashes in a dim phosphorus fire.

Then, the dark shadow disappeared again, and the old man on crutches walked unhurriedly across the boundary marked by the boundary marker.

Wherever you can see, there are towering mountains.

"Calm down, Xiaochun."

"Don't completely lose your mind every time it involves the Uchiha clan!"

Just when Koharu got up angrily and wanted to leave the office that made her increasingly manic and depressed, Mito Kabuto, who had been sitting next to her before, spoke up at the right time.

"Oh, then is it necessary to continue the discussion?"

"Can our Hokage-sama still make any decision to resist?"

"Besides, you want to see the Uchiha show off their power after winning, but I don't want to!"

"I'm going to get Danzo back now!!"

"The sanctions imposed by the Iron Kingdom are nothing more than a group of fallen samurai!"

She spoke quietly, her words full of dissatisfaction.

Ever since Danzo left, everything has become extremely bad!!

Perhaps, the Nidaime's decision to abdicate was a mistake.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! During this period, even terrifying thoughts arose in her heart.

"how?"

"Is there a way to contain Uchiha Ara when Danzo returns?"

"Have you still not recognized the fact?"

"Even Onoki of Iwagakure Village was defeated!!"

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not be able to taste the dissatisfaction in Koharu's mouth?

And this time, he no longer indulged the other person, nor did he take into account the years of friendship. The hidden anger hidden in the words and this tit-for-tat attitude were the most distinct changes.

"You should know what it means when Onoki loses!!"

The white-haired Sandaime Hokage added again, the depression and helplessness in his voice were particularly clear.

Because this means that even if the power of the entire Konoha is bet, it may not be able to completely annihilate the opponent and the power behind him.

On the contrary, it will plunge the entire Konoha into a state of irreversible collapse.

How could he let the legacy left by the First and Second Generations be destroyed in one fell swoop?

What's more, the current Uchiha is not the arrogant and domineering attitude he had before.

Whether it was the eastern campaign three years ago or this northern operation, they all won enough prestige for that guy and that clan.

If we continue to suppress innocently and continue to mention the past, it seems to be that we are deliberately looking for trouble.

All things were completely passive when Uchiha Ara returned from the North.

"Furthermore, if Uchiha Ara wants to win more prestige and revive the prestige of the Uchiha clan, there is no need to rely on this joint Chunin exam."

"In the final analysis, this is just a competition between a group of genin. For ninjas who have already been on the battlefield, it is simply a child's play and a farce that lowers their status."

Sarutobi Hiruzen analyzed the situation accurately.

In fact, this is exactly the case,

Let the ninjas who have experienced hundreds of battles and have already surpassed the Jonin level to compete with a group of genin, and be treated as ornaments by the powerful from all walks of life to duel in the arena.

This is definitely not an opportunity to win medals or win glory.

It is a naked irony and a naked insult!!

Even if that person fully meets the conditions for participation, all the contestants are still young.

"What do you mean?"

Xiaochun, who was woken up and went to bed, asked as if she was in another world.
