Chapter Eighty-Four: The Qualifiers Begin

Sakura raised her forehead and sighed: "It's really a defeat to you, it's obviously your own ignorance, and you're still so arrogant, okay, I'll explain it to you." ”

"You remember, I mentioned to you before that the first Hokage Senju Pillar of Konoha Village, his wife was a member of the Uzumaki clan."

"Hmm."

"Not only that, but the wife of the first Hokage is not an ordinary Uzumaki clan, but a princess of the Uzumaki clan."

"The reason why the Uzumaki clan married their princess to the first Hokage is because Konoha is the most important ally to the Vortex Country established by the Uzumaki clan."

"The two of you should know that the middle ninja and above in Konoha Village will have a ninja uniform sent by Konoha officially, and the badge printed on the back of this uniform is the family emblem of the Uzumaki clan, from here you can also see how close the relationship between Konoha and the country of the vortex is, and it is not at all comparable to these allies of Konoha now."

"So since the fall of the Vortex Country, Konoha has been relentlessly searching for the surviving members of the Vortex Clan."

"That's why Kakashi-sensei's attitude will change so much after confirming Kaori's identity."

Naruto and Sasuke nodded. "I see."

On the other side, Kakashi was back on the side of the three Hokages.

"Kakashi." The third Hokage asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

Kakashi also lowered his voice and replied, "Hokage-sama, things are a bit complicated, I can't explain it to you in detail right now, but overall it's good news, I found an orphan of the surviving Uzumaki clan, related to the Grass Ninja Village, just in the team that came to the Grass Ninja Village this time, and now with Naruto and them." ”

"The Vortex Clan." The pupils of the three generations of Hokage shrank, and the mouth holding the pipe paused for a moment, but it recovered instantly, and there was no trace of abnormality on the surface.

The third Hokage nodded, "You're right, Kakashi, now is not the time to talk about these things, you can report back to me after this qualifier is over." ”

"After so many years, I finally found one, so I can rest assured." The three generations of Hokage slowly smoked their cigarettes and calmed down.

Konoha has long not given up the search for the surviving members of the Uzumaki clan.

The external explanation is that the country of Vortex is an ally of Konoha, and Konoha is responsible for taking care of the surviving Uzumaki people.

But the actual reason is not so, and that is just a superficial statement.

After all, it has been decades since the Vortex Country was destroyed, and even if Konoha used to have a close relationship with the Vortex Country, after so many years, it has long since faded.

The real reason why Konoha is tirelessly searching for the Uzumaki Clan is related to the nine-tailed beast it possesses.

The Nine-Tails is the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts, and correspondingly the most difficult of the Tailed Beasts to control.

I want to be a pillar force of the Nine-Tails. There is a necessary prerequisite, and that is that the human pillar force must be a member of the Vortex clan.

Only the people of the Uzumaki clan can withstand the huge chakra of the Nine-Tails.

Konoha's main purpose in finding the orphans of the Uzumaki clan is just in case.

No one can guarantee that the Nine-Tails will go berserk, and if the Nine-Tails go berserk, then the original human pillar force will definitely die, so even if Konoha suppresses the rampaging Nine-Tails, it will also make Konoha lose the power of the Nine-Tails because no one can become the new Nine-Tails Human Pillar Force, which is absolutely unacceptable to Konoha.

The existence of tailed beasts is actually equivalent to nuclear weapons, mainly a deterrent, and there are very few real uses, after all, everyone has tailed beasts, and they are all restraining each other.

But if you don't have a tailed beast, you're disqualified from being restricted, so don't blame us for beating you with a tailed beast.

If you want to put it bluntly, it is that Konoha needs someone from the Uzumaki clan to use the Nine-Tails Pillar Force as a spare tire to ensure that Konoha can always have the power of the Nine-Tails.

Time passed little by little, and a few hours after Kazuto Akashi was taken away by Kai, the door to the central hall was pushed open, and the last team was finally late.

"The last team is also Konoha people."

After the team entered the hall, the people waiting in the hall looked over and thought to themselves.

The three people of the last team also wore Konoha forehead guards on their heads, and the three were Yakushidou, Jian Micheng, and Red Bronze Armor.

And behind the three of them, there is a big snake pill disguised as a sound ninja Murakami Shinobi.

Because Dou wanted to collect information, their team was the last to come out, and Orochimaru was also the last to come because he had to wait for Dou's information.

After Orochimaru entered the central hall, he quickly glanced at all the teams, and then showed a look of surprise.

"Unexpectedly, Toth, Sack, and Kim are all three of them, and it looks like they should have been killed by Sasuke who was made by the curse seal."

"It's a pity, I was going to use them as the sacrifices needed for the reincarnation of the filthy soil when I launched the Konoha Destruction Project, but now I need to make a little more effort to find the sacrifices again."

"However, Sasuke's potential seems to be even higher than I thought, and he was able to kill the three of them unscathed just after awakening the spell mark, and it really deserves to be my favorite body."

Orochimaru glanced at Sasuke and found that Sasuke had no signs of injury at all, and his heart was even more excited.

Once the teams were assembled, all the teams gathered in the open space in the center of the hall.

"I didn't expect so many people to pass the second exam, and most of them are shinobi who just graduated this year, no wonder Kakashi and several of them strongly recommend newcomers, it seems that these shinobi have not disappointed them." The three generations of Hokage looked at the people in front of him and thought in his heart.

Subsequently, the three generations of Hokage explained in detail to everyone the significance of holding the Chunin exam, and in order to prevent the participating ninjas from being too relaxed, he also emphasized the importance of the Chunin exam at the end.

"When you officially start the third exam, the daimyo and dignitaries of each country will also come to watch, and your performance will determine the number of tasks that your respective countries will be able to receive in the future."

"Villages that perform well will receive more tasks and more rewards, and the village will become stronger, while villages with poor performance will receive fewer tasks, and the rewards will be reduced, and the village will become declining."

"Therefore, your performance is not only related to whether you can be promoted to become a middle ninja, but also related to the future fate of your village."
