In order to get enough information, it is normal for Tsunade to try to investigate the Rain Ninja Village, but the closed Land of Rain is really not a good place to go.

"It might be better if we could reach an agreement with the other ninja villages to protect the human pillars, it would be more efficient!"

Before the "Akatsuki" organization fully launched its operation, it was basically impossible for the five major ninja villages to form a coalition to crusade against the "Akatsuki" organization, just like the Fourth Ninja World War. Before Yunyin Village felt the pain of the skin, they would not believe that a rebel organization would be much of a threat. With such an aggressive and powerful ninja village on the sidelines, no one will rest assured to go all out to encircle and suppress the "Xiao" organization, rather than pinning hopes on that kind of unrealistic coalition army, it is better to wait for the rabbit to be more reliable, although a little passive, but at least can give full play to the advantages of their own people.

Mizuki's suggestion, Tsunade is noncommittal. It's a good idea, but it's not easy to put into practice. The beneficiaries are undoubtedly Konoha Village, Wuyin Village and Shayin Village, and it is difficult to say whether Yanyin Village will agree, one of the two Zhuli was captured by the "Xiao" organization and the other defected, so it is not very necessary to spend more energy on protecting the Zhuli.

Among all the tailed beasts, the most dangerous is undoubtedly the seven-tailed man Zhu Lifu of Taki Ninja Village, and if there is no help from other ninja villages, it will be a matter of time before he is captured by the "Akatsuki" organization. However, even in this insignificant small country ninja village, it is still difficult to convince them.

In addition, as the most unstable human pillar force, Naruto Uzumaki's condition is also worrying, and no one knows if he will be able to protect himself in a short period of time until he completes the training course assigned by Jiraiya.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, the situation is really not optimistic, the arrogant Onoki has to bow his head and send people to Konoha Village to seek cooperation, and the eye of reincarnation does give him a lot of pressure. ”

For this living fossil who has witnessed the establishment of the order of one country and one village in the ninja world, he was so young and vigorous that he was not even convinced by Madara Uchiha, and now it is really rare to be able to take care of the overall situation.

"I will carefully consider the way of cooperation, and I don't need to worry too much about the rest for the time being, and be careful not to mess with myself and give the enemy a chance to take advantage of. ”

"Got it!"

This should be a reminder not to conflict with Tuan Zang. The Hokage's power has soared, and the influence of the "root" organization that cannot see the light will inevitably decline, but it can't be forced too much now, lest Danzou take risks desperately. At the critical moment, the power in his hands is also an indispensable and important combat force for the village.

……

In the ongoing Zhongnin exam, it is expected that there will not be many outstanding characters in the middle of the exam. In fact, it is also the case, it was not obvious during the theoretical exam, but it was revealed at the time of the Death Forest, because of the violation of the natural climate half a year ago, the forced restoration of the ecology in advance, resulting in a much higher degree of danger in the Death Forest than usual, even if it has been sorted out many times, but there is inevitably a danger of omission.

This time, the second elimination rate of the second game of the middle ninja exam is amazing, and the harsh environment is an important factor, and only three groups of lower ninja teams have reached the passing conditions, and one person has to withdraw because of his serious injury, as for the play-offs or something, naturally there is no need, and it is good to have these people.

Even if Konoha is the best shinobi who didn't participate, it's still a one-man show of Konoha ninjas, which is also related to the fact that other major ninja villages didn't participate, in addition to Konoha Shinobi, there are some ninja families in the Fire Country that are friendly with Konoha and some small organizations, in this kind of exam that is not particularly important, they will also send a ninja team to take the exam. There are also a few early ninja families in Konoha that have withdrawn from Konoha Village for some reason, but the subsidiary families that are still subordinate to Konoha also have many powerful secret masters. This is the case of Morino Biki, who is not born in Konoha Village, but his family members will still receive Konoha ninja education, and Konoha will also provide help and protection to these affiliated families.

Among the twelve best young ninjas in Konoha, only Nara Shikamaru, Hinata Ninji and Uchiha Sasuke, who became the middle ninja, took on some less important responsibilities, and the important things were all completed by Yamashiro Aoba, Shiranui Genma, Morino Ibiki with Gangko Iron and Kazuki Izumo, these outstanding middle ninjas.

Because the end of the second exam was unexpectedly fast, the weak ones were quickly eliminated, and the rest were quickly decided, and it didn't take long for Tsunade to arrive, and it was time to draw lots.

The only discord is that at the end, Danzang, who hasn't been seen for a long time, appears. Generally speaking, in addition to the selection of the reserve force of the "root" ninja, the "root" ninja will appear for inspection. However, most of the materials selected by the "Root" organization are helpless war orphans, so many orphanages around Konoha have the shadow of Konoha in them, and the power of "Root" has a great influence in them. Of course, occasionally, the children of the family are forcibly recruited for political reasons. However, only the innocent Konoha ninja in the ninja school could not join the "root" organization at all, and the Hokage could not tolerate the dark tentacles touching the foundation of Konoha's future.

"Tuanzang, what are you doing here?"

Could it be that Tuanzang, whose influence is not as great as before, is ready to move from the shadows to the front of the stage? This is not impossible, but no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Tuan Zang to just give up the painstaking management of the past. Although it has suffered a heavy setback, the foundation of its power still exists, and it is impossible to admit defeat so easily.

"I'm also the elder of the village, so it's not strange to come and see the seedlings that the village has high hopes for!"

Tuan Zang is still in a flat tone,

"In addition, as the fifth generation, since he has taken over the full power of the dark department, the safety of the village should not be negligent......"

As he spoke, the heavy cane tapped on the ground, and the masked "root" ninja appeared, throwing several seriously injured ninjas on the ground.

Tsunade looked at the figure that had fallen to the ground, and said unhappily,

"What do you want to do?"

"Traitors, they should be purged!"

Tuan Zang said rhetorically,

"You're still too naïve, Tsunade!"

"Traitor, how could it be? Isn't this a Konoha ninja? Not long ago, he was a member of the "root"......

"All of them were sent by me to the Land of Rain to spy on Sanshoyu Hanzo, and then they lost contact, and you took over the lucky people and brought them back to the village, but didn't you think about the possibility that they were rebelled by the enemy?"

"Rebellion?"

Tsunade looked at the suspicious characters suspiciously......
