Chapter 2: The New Nainin Exam
It has been about 2 years since Naruto left Konoha, and at this time, Naruto, Jingzang and others were still practicing and had not returned to Konoha. Pen~fun~ Tsunade received a letter from Jiraiya www.biquge.info and asked in silence, "What did Jiraiya-sama say in the letter?" Tsunade said, "The training went well. "Under Jiraiya's strict guidance, Naruto completed the cultivation of the Great Jade Spiral Pill. Jiraiya decided to take the risk for the next stage of his practice, "The day when you need to use Naruto's internal power may have come. "Wanting Naruto to control the Nine-Tails is training to gamble with his life. Naruto and Jiraiya, who were full of fighting spirit, underestimated the difficulty of this practice, even though they thought of the danger involved.
Tsunade said, "After that, two years have passed. That kid probably should go back to the village soon!" Shizun said, "The three generations said in the letter that the progress of Jingzang, Bai, and Junmalu is also a rapid progress, and it is no longer what it used to be. "Oh, that's of course, when it comes to instructing students, there are not many people who can surpass three generations of old men." "Mute said," the third generation sent a message, saying that he would ask Shiro to go back to the village recently, bring back some information on the way to practice, and deal with some things. "Tsunade," Haku...... That girl who is as pure as snow!"
In Konoha Hospital, Sakura is treating an injury to a middle ninja, and her medical ninjutsu is very refined. Naruto Jingzang Although they are not in Konoha, their partners are doing their best to practice, and the sense of presence brought by the thoughts is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone used Naruto as a benchmark, practicing hard, working hard, and training hard. This is how Shiro felt when he just returned to Konoha. Seeing Shiro return to Konoha, Hinata, Yakumo, and Chixia were very excited, and the four girls got together to tell their feelings of parting. However, many partners are still unaware of the news of Shiro's return. When Shiro met Tsunade in the Hokage's office, Tsunade made a decision.
In Sand Hidden Village, the ninja of the communication class saw a flying eagle transmitting a message, and immediately untied the letter. After that, Shinobu Yura Murakami, who was in charge of the guards, went to meet with the Goyo Kazekage, which was an urgent letter sent by the Goyo Hokage Tsunade.
At the gate of Konoha, Shikamaru waited until the sun rose, and Kankuro and Temari were late. Shikamaru complained, "I really told me to wait!" Temari smiled, "Did you come to greet us on purpose? It's hard work!" Shikamaru said, "I'm too lazy to run! It's Kazekage-sama after all! I've been waiting for a long time!" I'm walking from behind with a gourd on his back as always, just bowing his head slightly.
In the Hokageju conference room, Mute passed the document to the three siblings of the Wind Shadow in Sand Hidden Village, "This is the information for the middle ninja exam two years ago. A total of 155 people took the exam, and the village from which the participants came from, and the passing rate of the three exams were clearly marked in it. The reason for the interruption of the exam should be clear to you. "In the joint ninja exam 2 years ago, there were 30 people in 10 groups of Sand Hide, 21 people in 7 groups of Yugakure, 15 people in 5 groups of Kusakure, 12 people in Takikure 4 groups, 74 people in Konoha 24 groups, and 3 people in 1 group of Otokure.
Tsunade coughed and interrupted Shizu's words, "Due to the interruption of the last middle ninja exam, I plan to rehold a joint middle ninja exam held by Konoha Village. Temari said, "With the help of Konoha Village, our Sand Hidden Village has been peaceful for the past two years, especially in terms of educational planning, and has achieved excellent results, cultivating a group of shinobi who are suitable for taking the middle ninja exam. ”
Tsunade said, "In other words, you have no objection to holding the joint konin exam?" Kankuro said, "Before that, I want to hear the Hokage-sama's sincere words. "Tsunade said, "Honestly?" Kankuro said, "In a big ninja village like ours, the middle ninja exam can be held on its own, and I believe that in the past two years, Konoha has also held several middle ninja exams to select outstanding ninjas, and we are the same." In such a period, the reason for the reopening of the joint juninja exam may not be a lack of talent!" Tsunade said, "I see. I'll just get straight to the point!" Koharu and Mito Menyan also attended the meeting.
Tsunade said, "The first reason for holding the Joint Chunin Exam is that I want to see how the five major countries that pretend to be calm on the surface and how each village will react. Through their reactions to the joint shinobi exam, you can see what they really think. Secondly, I also want to spy on Xiao's movements. Legend has it that they attempted to capture the Tailed Beasts, but in the past two years, we have not been able to grasp their movements. ”
Kankuro somewhat understood, "Is it possible to open the village on the pretext of the Shinobi exam, deliberately exposing flaws and luring the snake out of the hole?" Tsunade said, "That's right, the people of Xiao at this time should also be unable to hold their breath and start moving around." That's the real reason why I held the joint middle ninja exam, and the kind of internal middle ninja exam that was done behind closed doors was not what I wanted. ”
I Airo looked at his brother and sister, Kankuro closed his eyes and pondered the pros and cons, and then opened his eyes, "This is too risky!" I Airo said, "Wait! I hope to use the occasion of this joint juninja exam to announce the news of the appointment of the fifth generation of Kazekage." I'd like to be hosted by the Sand Hidden Village!" Kankuro and Temari were both taken aback, and Aira hadn't discussed this with them before they came. Menyan objected, "No!" Koharu said, "That's right, this joint Zhongnin exam is to make up for the one two years ago." As the organizer, Konoha has not held the joint ninja exam for 2 years. If it is held by Shayin Village instead, it doesn't make sense. ”
Menyan said, "That's right. After the Konoha Collapse War, Konoha Village is on the right track under the governance of the five generations of Hokage, and this is the best time to show our Konoha military power. "The joint ninja exam is a microcosm version of the military wrestling of various countries, and when the last kin exam was held, the three generations of Hokage explained it in detail. Temari also objected, "This matter can't be done according to Kazekage's wishes, and it has to be approved by the village's high-level meeting." Kankuro said, "Well, we need time to connect." Can this matter be postponed until the next meeting to make a decision?" I didn't expect my brother and sister to oppose it, which was a bit surprising. Tsunade agreed, "Okay! Let's discuss this topic at the next meeting!" Shikamaru was also present at the meeting and witnessed the whole process.
As the sun sets, Shikamaru and Temari go on a date outside a store. Shikamaru said, "I feel in trouble!" Temari said, "I didn't expect my Airo to suddenly say those words." Shikamaru said, "Haven't you heard anything about it before?" Temari smiled bitterly, "I'm surprised myself!" Shikamaru said, "But, I think he must have his own ideas!"
On the Hokage Rock, Iara released the Messenger Eagle that had returned to the Sand Hide. Kankuro said, "If the Hokage says that once Akatsuki appears, their target will be you!" Then I might as well lure them out and destroy them myself. Kankuro was dissatisfied, "What do you say, you've just become a wind shadow, and the village hasn't settled down yet!" I know there is a force that disapproves of me being appointed as Kazekage. They tried to put me to death......" Kankuro said, "and then we can't hold the Chunin exam in the village." ”
"That's why I'm going to hold the Shinobi exam in the village. Kankuro exclaimed, "Could it be that the enemy you want to draw out is not Akatsura, but a traitor to the village?
In Shayin Village, after receiving the message from the flying eagle, the high-level held a round table meeting. Yuliang Michi, "This joint Zhongnin exam, Lord Kazekage hopes that it will be held by Sand Hidden Village. One of the high-ranking officials said, "Is he trying to use this to announce the news of Kazekage's appointment to other countries?" a bearded high-ranking official said, "It's hard to say." The upper shinobi behind him said, "Although the village has been stable for a while, my Airo is still the same [terrible weapon]. The bearded man said, "As long as I'm alive, there will be no peace in this village." "These three are the leaders of the opposition.
Yura, who has always supported my Airo, glanced at the three people coldly, and the three high-ranking opposition leaders were somewhat weak-hearted. Yura Michi, "It seems that Kazekage-sama is planning to set up the second exam venue in the Demon Desert of Sand Hidden Village. We, the Sand Hidden Village, will provide full assistance to it!" With the full efforts of Yura and Marki, the meeting still passed a resolution in support of the Wind Shadow.
After the meeting, the opposition trio met privately. One of them said, "Did Yura notice us?" and the other said, "No, everyone has concerns about my Airo." The other said, "Yes, then even the coup plan will be discovered...... Yura walked from the front, "Aren't these seniors? You're here!" one of the high-ranking officials said, "What's the matter? Didn't we take a stand? Yura said, "No, I forgot to say it just now. Kazekage-sama intends to be present in person as an overseer. ”
The three opposition members were all stunned, and Yuliang said, "We must also be careful and prepared." After all, in the survival challenge part of the second exam, someone died every time. As an overseer, Kazekage-sama may not be able to guarantee that nothing will happen. After saying this, Yura sneered, then turned to leave, "Say goodbye first!" After Yura left, the bearded man said highly, "In other words, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the wind shadow by accident." One of the higher-ups said, "But he's a human pillar!" and the other said, "I have a way." You can use the tea kettle that the original human Zhuli Lord used to temporarily imprison Shouhe. ”
Konoha Village Hokage Office, Shizune asked Tsunade for his opinion, Tsunade said, "A few years ago, Jiraiya got information that Akatsuki would make a move against Naruto after 3-4 years. Since then, 2 years have passed. Xiaoren also began to move around. Shizune said, "Do you want to use Naruto as bait?" Tsunade said, "As the Hokage of Konoha Village, I can't do that." Shizune understood a little, "Then this task is ...... by Kazekage-sama," Tsunade said, "Coincidentally, the other party took the initiative to make this request. "But will their higher-ups really agree?" Tsunade said, "I'll get them to agree to co-organize, and I can't compromise any more." ”
A few days later, the joint meeting was reconvened. Tsunade said, "We discussed Kazekage-sama's proposal a few days ago, why don't we do this, how about Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village jointly hold it? The first written test will be held in Konoha Village, and the location of the second survival test will be provided by Sand Hidden Village." Koharu said, "The Death Forest is already known to the ninja villages, and a new one is needed. "In that case...... Kankuro and Temari glanced at each other, and I love Luo Dao, "We don't have any objections." ”
It's been two years since the interrupted middle ninja exam, and Konoha took the initiative to propose that the joint middle ninja exam be retaken, which was supported by Iara. Tsunade wanted to use this ninja exam to observe the attitudes of the five ninja countries and various ninja villages, and he also wanted to draw out "Xiao" to catch it all, and I Ai Luo actually proposed that the ninja exam be held in Shayin Village. The meeting decided that Konoha and Sha Yin would jointly hold the middle ninja exam, and compared to the "Akatsuki", I Airo seems to have other ideas.
In the evening, at the gate of Konoha Gate, Shikamaru sent me Airo and the three of them, "Goodbye, let's meet when the middle ninja exam!" Kankuro and I Airo answered and turned to the road. Temari quipped, "If you're in trouble, remember to talk to me!I'll find a way to help you, crybaby!" After saying this, Temari also followed Airo and left. Shikamaru scratched his head, "Really, it's still the same!"
Hokage's office, Kakashi said, "It is estimated that Otokushi Village will not participate in this exam. Shizune said, "Then just send an invitation to the villages that participated last time, except for Otoyin Village!" Tsunade said, "Well, remember to send invitations to all the villages of the Five Great Countries on the grounds of Kazekage's public appearance." Kakashi said, "I see, so we can see the reaction of the villages." Tsunade said, "Yes, this is the reopening of the joint Zhongnin exam, in addition to the purpose of drawing out Xiao. "Yes, understood!"
Subsequently, Tsunade summoned Yuyan and the other dark ministries and Shizune handed them the invitation. Tsunade said, "Send this letter to the villages, this is an invitation to the Chunin exam." "The people of the dark department were ordered to leave. Tsunade said, "The dice have been rolled, and now we'll see how they react." ”
In Sand Hidden Village, I'm thinking about the people who took the Nakaya exam, and among the exam cards on the table, there is a three-person group where Asai is. The other two companions of Amatsu are the female ninja yukata and the glasses male ninja Oko. I Airo selected a total of 9 groups of elite shinobi to participate in this middle ninja exam. Because it is a joint middle ninja exam, which is related to the honor of the village, it is natural that some ordinary shinobi cannot be sent to participate in the so-so.
Konoha Village, Shizun, said, "The letter from the Sand Hidden Village has been delivered. Tsunade took the reply, "The Sand Hidden Village has decided to send 9 groups of 27 shinobi to participate in the middle ninja exam!" Shizune said, "Last time, it was 30 people in 10 groups. Tsunade said, "Although there is one group missing, judging from the current situation in Shayin Village, it is not easy to cultivate these lower ninjas. Shizune said, "Yes!" Tsunade said, "Speaking of which, haven't the other villages heard back yet?" Shizune said, "Yes, not yet." "It's up to the shadows of each village to react." ”
