Chapter 66: The Rain Gathers
Regarding the brawl caused by Tsunade, Orochimaru also found out after the fact.
And not long after that happened, he was invited over for tea by the shadows.
Of course, the matter about the demon Mio of Saigyoji Temple was not revealed.
There are two reasons, one is that Orochimaru does not have the strength to single-handedly take on several upper ninjas, and the other is because the fact that he can become a woman has not been exposed, and his chakra in the female state is more feminine and cannot sit in the right seat.
After all, Orochimaru is a student of Sarutobi, so the suspicion was quickly ruled out.
Of course, the suspicion was indeed ruled out on the surface, and what kind of operation was secretly was not something that a shinobi like Orochimaru could know.
All in all, Orochimaru only found out afterwards that His Excellency Anzi Urgong had used her body to participate in a martial arts competition.
The point is, it even won!
It even led to a precipitous drop in the number of candidates who took this written test......
But even so, Zilai still failed to pass the exam, which is simply a failure to live up to the excellent conditions created for him by His Excellency Anzi Ulgong!
At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly asked:
"By the way, do you think that there seems to be a strange smell in the village, which I felt when I came back."
Hearing this, Tsunade and Orochimaru froze.
Unlike them, who have been staying in Konoha, Jiraiya has been practicing in Myoki Mountain, and he doesn't know much about what is happening in the outside world.
He only returned to Konoha directly during the exam, and he hasn't even returned home yet.
Seeing the strange faces of Tsunade and Orochimaru, Jiraiya asked even more curiously:
"Did something more interesting happen while I was leaving?"
Orochimaru opened his mouth, but found that he was speechless.
If he was amazed by the amazing strength that His Excellency Anziulgong used her body, then the global bomb made him shiver and his hands and feet cold......
She was in a coma at the time, but although there is no evidence, the female (?) Orochimaru was convinced that it was something that Aziul Gong had done.
How ridiculous and unbelievable is this?
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a complicated expression, who was explaining the incident for Jiraiya.
Obviously I can too, why did His Excellency Anzi Urgon choose you?
After listening to Tsunade's slightly exaggerated description, Jiraiya has a long mouth and can almost stuff his fists.
"Tsunade, did your toilet explode too?"
Tsunade nodded awkwardly.
Jiraiya was about to laugh, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, wait, then my family ......"
Because he eats and lives in Miaomu Mountain, he hasn't been home for a long time.
Tsunade also realized something, nodded with a little pity, patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go home and take a look, the air-dried ○ may be easier to clean up."
Zilai also screamed strangely, and rushed home with his head down.
At this scene, Tsunade laughed heartily.
After a while, she noticed the silent Orochimaru beside her, and asked curiously:
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Orochimaru shook his head.
Tsunade didn't care, and walked straight ahead and said:
"Then let's hurry up and eat something, I'm starving, there are so many people in Konoha these days, and I don't know if I want to line up."
Orochimaru didn't express an opinion, just quietly followed behind Tsunade.
The current Konoha is indeed different from usual.
A few days ago, Konoha had ushered in an unprecedented moment of prosperity.
Countless wealthy merchants, aristocrats, and even daimyo arrived in Konoha one after another.
The middle ninja exam, which was proposed by Konoha senior advisor, can be said to be the first time that such an existence as Ninja Village has been publicly exposed to the outside world.
Before that, even if you enter the ninja village under the pretext of "entrusted mission", you will definitely be accompanied by ninjas.
To put it simply, many things are not disclosed to the outside world.
And this is determined by the military nature of Ninja Village.
It is also widely believed that the ninja village is a military base with strict rules, and the ninjas in it live an ascetic life.
Of course, this does not mean that the outside world is not interested in the new thing of Ninja Village.
Especially Konoha Hidden Village, which is known as the strongest ninja village.
This time the middle ninja exam is undoubtedly the first time that Konoha and even the ninja village are open to the outside world, and it is absolutely significant.
Wealthy merchants and nobles with a keen sense of smell, like sharks that smell blood, have come to Konoha one after another.
Even Uzumaki Mito and Senju didn't expect so many people to be so interested in the first Chunin exam.
But as two of the smartest people of this era, they also quickly recalled.
In this new era of ninjas, the ninja village represents the country's military strength, and Shimoshinobi, as the successor, can undoubtedly reflect the potential of the ninja village well.
For those who came because of this, it was in their expectation.
But what Mito and Kazuma didn't expect was that those ordinary people with a little wealth seemed to be like ninjas who had seen a big rock broken in their chests......
At the end of the Warring States period, this was unthinkable.
Because at that time, no one could really live a stable life, not even a daimyo.
What's more, everyone is at risk, and they can stay away from the corners of war, but it is a real paradise.
However, the greatness of the establishment of the ninja village was that it brought the world into an era of relative peace.
The vigorous development of society in the past 20 years, even the outbreak of the first ninja war, in fact, is only limited to the ninjas, the people have not been greatly affected, which has led to cultural exchanges, business promotion, and technological development, all of which have been greatly improved in a short period of time.
What was once a paradise far from the war has become a poor country in the eyes of people.
In this relatively peaceful environment, the number of people willing to go out naturally increases.
Of course, the influx of so many people at once was unexpected, but it was undoubtedly a positive thing.
In their plan, the so-called Zhongnin exam itself has multiple meanings, one of which is "reform and opening up"!
Konoha's finances are largely controlled by the government of the Fire Country, and even if he accepts a commission to help subsidize it, it is just a drop in the bucket.
And the outside world's impression of Ninja Village has obviously solidified, and the people who come to Konoha are basically entrusted with it.
Therefore, the purpose of this "opening up" is actually to reverse this inherent image and to carry out a limited "investment attraction."
Of course, this was not an immediate occurrence.
However, the influx of a large number of tourists directly promoted the development of Konoha's barren business circle.
Those wealthy businessmen and aristocrats spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money.
Even though the Hokage Building urgently issued a decree restricting people from renting entire hotels, the supply of hotels still outstripped supply.
As a result, some people directly spent money to buy several houses that were connected together, and put them together as temporary residences.
Some people even bought the land directly, and spent a huge amount of money to let the ninja who was proficient in earth escape build a house on the same day.
As a semi-military ninja village, Konoha naturally does not allow this kind of trading to be carried out at will.
However, they gave too much money.
In the end, Konoha had to shamefully say that they were only allowed to use it for three months.
All in all, this directly made Konoha's dirt bun dumbfounded,
Is this how the money is spent?
Of course, the influx of a large number of tourists has directly led to the chaos of law and order.
Especially those nobles who are used to being domineering, they also carry a group of dogs when they walk on the road, which directly makes the ninjas of the security class busy.
Fortunately, this is the middle ninja exam held by Konoha, and with its profound background, it can maintain normal order after all.
The number of passengers who can flock to Konoha has not yet reached the limit.
Because the officially open middle ninja exam is actually the third game among them.
Many people who want to see the demeanor of ninja battles have only arrived in Konoha in the past few days.
At the Konoha Gate, there is still a long queue, waiting to enter Konoha.
Among them, a special team that countless wealthy merchants and nobles had to make a detour is slowly approaching.
At the head, it is Chiyo, known as the flower of the desert.
She looked at the towering city wall at the end of the road, with a faint smile on her face:
"Is this Konoha who is known as the strongest ninja village?"
