In addition to the effect of absorbing chakra, the earth dungeon hall also has an effect similar to the gossip seal to convert xenomorph chakra into its own use, and it is impossible to steal the tailed beast chakra with this earth escape enchantment.

Youji was also watching from the sidelines, and Mizuki really couldn't find a chance to start.

After completing the task without danger, Mizuki and Jiraiya said hello and returned to Konoha Village in an instant.

It was a bit of a hassle when I came, but it was a blink of an eye to get back.

Feeling the chakra in his body, the situation was fine, and Naruto, who suppressed the tailed beast, borrowed the power of the other party.

The psychic triple Rashomon has little effect on Mizuki, and the Uzumaki shuriken doesn't need to be cared about.

"The Land of Soup, it's still a little too far, and it's even more expensive than coming back from the Land of Wind."

Mizuki groaned and walked through the door of the security department.

"Uh, Vice Minister Mizuki, you're back?"

"It's you, looking for me?"

The person who came was wrapped in a thick bandage on his head, covering both of his eyes, plus a forehead guard, and he didn't understand whether this guy's eyes could see or not.

This Nakashinobi named Flying Bamboo Dragonfly is actually a little older than Mizuki.

"Gangko Tetsu and Izumo Kamizuki, who are guarding the gate, always complain that Vice Minister Mizuki often passes through the gate without a record of entering and exiting, which makes them a little embarrassed. So occasionally, I will ask a colleague to come and see if you are back, this time I am just going to go far away, so I will come and have a look!"

"Yes, then please tell me, things have been a bit urgent lately, so I'm sorry, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

"Then I won't bother. ”

Watching the flying bamboo dragonfly leave, Mizuki pushed the door and walked into the office.

"The scrutiny of the gate posts has been strengthened, and it seems that the internal security level has been raised. 』

A few months ago, Mizuki often came and went at will, but no one checked if he was in the village.

Even if it's just a routine, there will be no less process, which was ignored in the past because it was not taken seriously, but now it seems that it is really going to slowly turn into a wartime rhythm.

Mizuki picked up the paper and pen on the desk, hastily wrote down the mission report, and after a little tidying up, he went to the Hokage's office and handed it to Tsunade.

This mission is very simple, it is a trip to kung fu, as long as you deal with it properly, a nine-tailed that has been cut off in half has been sealed with most of its strength, and it can't turn over the waves.

"It's okay!"

Tsunade nodded,

"Did you ask about anything special?"

"Ask what?"

Mizuki casually perfunctory.

"If not, forget it!"

It's something that I know by heart.,Self-inflicted with any temperament.,Tsunade knows better than Mizuki.,Some things don't need to be too clear.。

"Did you say when you would be back?"

"I should be able to come back before the mid-year and mid-year ninja exams next year. ”

"Got it, you go down first!"

There are a lot of things going on in the village now, but there aren't so many tasks that require a powerful shinobi to do so for the time being.

In peacetime, transactional work far exceeds the task of fighting, and the ninjas who struggle in the mountains and seas of books are even more tiring than the combat ninjas on the front line, and Tsunade is the one who has the deepest experience.

……

The Land of Wind, the second session of the middle ninja exam, the first day was calm in the sand and dust that suddenly rose in the evening, and many lower ninjas hid in a safe place to rest and wait for tomorrow to fight again.

Unlike the Chunin Exam held in Konoha, the Forest of Death barely manages to balance all parties and ensure a minimum of fairness. There are no such conditions in the Sand Hidden Village, in the Hanhai, the desert flower that will release hallucinogenic gases, and the mutated cactus that can shoot poisonous needles, etc., will make the candidates who participate suffer heavy losses on the first day, and the sand ninja natives who are not strong enough are frequently recruited, not to mention the foreign ninja candidates who are not familiar with this place.

Non-combat attrition became the main reason for the elimination of candidates.

Outside the examination room, Ape Fei Asma, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help it, took out a cigarette and lit it.

After a day of inspection, no abnormalities were found, and several Shangninas were a little slack.

"None of the accidents that Tsunade-sama brought to our attention happened. ”

"Peace is a good thing, Asma, don't complain!

"Well, just smoke one!"

The bearded man who is addicted to smoking can't stand it when he has nothing to do.

Maitkai looked at the bad weather outside, and said helplessly:

"It looks like it's going to last two or three days, so it's better for us to take turns on duty. ”

After some deliberation, the first night was taken care of by Ape Fei Asma and Maitkai.

Sunset Red was the first to leave, and soon after, Asma also retreated, leaving only Maitkai to fight strongly.

Under the cover of the night, several sneaky figures jumped over the wall outside the examination room, and Maitkai, who was not very keenly aware of Chakra, looked at the dimly lit night suspiciously, the moonlight and starlight were extremely dim in the dusty weather, and at a slightly farther distance, it was impossible to see clearly even during the day, let alone at night.

"Hallucinations?"

Suspicious, Maitkai looked around, but found no suspicious signs, and finally had to give up.

Several ninjas in black scarves, masked and unrecognizable, ghostly weaved through the dust.

Demon Desert - the location of this Zhongnin exam, the famous and vicious place of the Land of Wind.

The reason why the Demon Desert, which is considered to be a daunting place, is that it is the place where the climate change in the Land of Winds is most intense, especially in the summer, when the temperature changes greatly in the morning and evening, and inexplicable sandstorms often occur.

What's even more unbearable is that there are always so many times a year, because of the extremely strong convective weather, which causes a super powerful sandstorm that rolls by, and only the powerful Shangnin can barely pass through it.

As for the candidates for the Zhongnin exam, there are only a handful of them who can survive inside.

My Airo is not on a stable footing, and if there is an accident that causes a large number of deaths due to an accident in the middle ninja exam, it will not be easy to explain.

Without the monk Hoichi who can seal the crane of the tail, he can't directly arrange the assassination of my Airo, so it has become the next best thing to hit the prestige of my Airo and make it impossible to be a shadow.

"Is this really good? If this kind of accident happens, it's not just that person who has suffered the force, but the whole village will be unlucky!"

For a grand event like the Zhongnin Exam, if something goes wrong, it will not be a trivial matter, and Konoha is a lesson from the past.

"What's the use of talking about this now, the big sandstorm is coming, and the long-range perception barrier of the headquarters has been interfered with, and it's too late to stop now, when this place was selected as the location for the middle ninja exam a few months ago, it was already arranged, and there is no room for error. ”

The idea that the outside world must first be settled inside is still very marketable, and it is inevitable that a small number of people will disregard the interests of the whole and do some things that are out of place.
