The middle ninja exam is held every three years on average, and it is a good time for the lower ninja to upgrade, and any lower ninja with enough consciousness level can be recommended by the guide to the upper ninja and obtain the qualification. Generally speaking, this is an important time for major powers to observe their national strength, mainly for the new generation of talents.

As the years of peace continued, the scale of the examination was more than ever, and this time it was jointly held by Sand Hidden Konoha, with the participation of many small countries, and it was a high-profile test of the village's security capabilities. And over the past few decades, Konoha Village has become more and more experienced, and even if it encounters temporary changes, it can still be handled with ease.

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

"So this is my conclusion, the sound ninja village is obviously plotting against it, and it should be that I want to take the opportunity of this exam to go to the village to find out the information."

Kakashi Hachiki reported, "And according to the information provided by Aoko, in recent months, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, has frequently haunted the territory of Tanokuni. Because it's a small country, it's hard for me to believe that his actions have nothing to do with Otoshinobi Village. ”

After listening to Kakashi's words, Miyome pondered silently for a long time, and anyone could see the sorrow between his brows.

Kakashi was not the only one at the scene, but also the watermelon-headed Maitkai in a green vest, and even Aoko herself.

"Otoshinobi Village is a newly established village, and we don't have much information at the moment, but it is said that it is marked by eighth notes, and it is good at using sound attacks. Judging from this point alone, it has nothing to do with Orochimaru, but that guy, who has been doing secret research since many years ago, may really be able to let him develop some special ninjutsu. ”

These words were slowly spoken by the three generations: "Special secret techniques are not counted, among the five elements of the Escape Technique, Tu Dun is the best at intelligence eavesdropping, followed by some small skills of Feng Dun." So, if it's really a ninja who uses his voice as a means of fighting, he will naturally be very good at eavesdropping on intelligence, Kakashi, your guess is reasonable. ”

Kakashi smiled humbly, "It's thanks to Aoko, her detection ability is even better than my psychic ninja dog." If she hadn't had to act alone every time, I wouldn't have been able to ......"

"Hey, Kakashi, are you making a metaphor between me and a dog?"

Qingzi squinted beside him: "Do you want to say it again?" ”

The chill came suddenly, and no matter who was frightened by Aoko's eyes, Sarutobi and Akai laughed, and Kakashi quickly apologized in embarrassment. It's really too unusual, even if it's a metaphor for Akai, it's okay to compare a girl and a ninja dog together, doesn't this kind of person deserve to be single for a lifetime?

"Anyway, I have a hunch that this year is going to be eventful."

Aoko stated the facts: "You see, first of all, the Nine-Tails Pillar Force known to our superiors, Naruto Uzumaki has finally become a shinobi, and the orphan of the Uchiha Annihilation Massacre has also graduated, and is now directly in the same class as Naruto; Then a few months ago, the Red Sand Scorpion, which had disappeared for a long time, reappeared in the Land of the Wind and hooked up with the Shadow Disciple Deidara, and the two S-class rebel ninjas got together, and no matter what they did, it would not be a trivial matter. ”

"Finally, now, the dark department has already found out that a large number of sound ninjas are lurking in the territory of the Fire Country, wandering around Konoha Village. You know, now it's a time of peace, and we haven't had a bad relationship with Tian Zhiguo, so their behavior is worth pondering. Could it be that a newly established small country ninja village still wants to challenge Konoha's status? ”

Every word is twisted and turned, and public opinion is leaning towards the side that is not favorable to Otoshinobi Village. Aoko's reasoning made sense, as it was indeed a summary of what she and many of her colleagues had actually learned in and out of the village in recent months, and not only Kakashi was involved, but even Akai was dragged over.

"When you meet one and catch one, catch one and judge another, do you still need to be afraid of them!?"

It must be Akai who is so excited: "Want to take advantage of the excitement of the Zhongnin exam to take advantage of the chaos to go to the village to collect intelligence?" It's really beautiful, look at how my blue beast of Konoha taught them to do it......"

"Beasts, don't teach people to be human, Kai, grammatical errors."

"Woo whoa, Kakashi, you bastard......"

"I'm not afraid that they will collect intelligence, because the main purpose of the Zhongnin exam is to show the world the strength of the new generation of ninja villages, and such a simple truth has been forgotten?"

Qingzi squinted at Akai: "I'm afraid that they want to destroy it......"

This sentence was something that Qingzi had never said, and it was not in the report. When the three generations heard this, their eyes suddenly narrowed, and they looked at Qingzi shrewdly: "That's right." If it's just ordinary eavesdropping, that's something that almost all ninja villages will try, and it doesn't need to be paid special attention at all. But since the situation is like Aoko's report, which is suspected of involving Orochimaru, we must not be afraid to figure out the worst. ”

The three generations said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

In an instant, a member of the Shadow Division wearing a white cloak and a rabbit mask appeared in an instant: "Hokage-sama! ”

"Send three teams to Tanokuni to find out their overall movements. Be careful, according to Aozaki Ueshinobu's information, Orochimaru seems to be frequenting that area. ”

"One of the three ninjas...... Is Orochimaru yes? ”

The captain of the detachment was slightly shocked: "Yes, Hokage-sama! ”

Qingzi looked at the dark part, and the blue light flashed in his eyes, and he already understood his chakra fluctuations. It was actually a rookie who joined the team when he was still the captain of the dark department, but he didn't expect that after a few years, he was already a team leader with a black robe.

Qingzi's magic eye flickered instantly, and at the last moment when the detachment leader left in an instant, he accurately left a positioning imprint. It's good to be safe, but if this kid is really unlucky enough to run into Orochimaru, she can also help by the way and create a few layers of floating slaughter.

No one noticed Aoko's small movements, and after giving the order to the dark part, the third generation said in a deep voice: "Aoko has a point, if Konoha Village is maliciously attacked during the middle ninja exam and allows the murderer to succeed easily, our image in the eyes of the people will definitely be affected." Especially if they know that the attack is still an insignificant small village, this examination competition that shows the world our style will become a laughing stock for thousands of years! ”

He looked at the time and sighed.

"Kakashi, Aoko, you two are working overtime tonight, so let's work with me to plan a simple response. Before we get more information from the dark department, it's not convenient for us to make too much fanfare, just the three of us, let's talk about it, if the enemy wants to take the opportunity to maliciously sabotage, what might they do? ”
