Chapter 53: Undercurrent
A week before the third session of the middle ninja exam, the entire Konoha Hidden Village was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the one hand, it is a gathering of ordinary people in the world, because the daimyo, officials, and merchants from all walks of life gather, and the streets of Konoha are full of pedestrians from morning to night, and all kinds of shouting are continuous, and on the other hand, there is the tension and vigilance of the ninja world, and in the dark corners of the streets and alleys, investigations, counter-investigations, and assassinations have hardly stopped, and even the lower-level ninjas of Konoha have noticed the strangeness of this middle ninja exam and are carefully guarded.
Thanks to Mo Wen's blessing, Yun Ren, who originally didn't make a move, also came to participate this time, and as a result, the Yan Ren who had a holiday with Yun Ren also set his sights on it, except for the five ninja villages, except for the Fog Hidden Village, which had just ended the reign of the blood mist, did not participate, and the spies of the other four villages could be said to have all taken action, and they were inseparable from the shadows of Konoha.
At the same time, the eight players who participated in the final round of the Zhongnin exam are also making final preparations.
Because he was robbed of love by Mo Wen's sword, now the bearded Asma can be said to have devoted all his enthusiasm to his students, taking Ino and Ding Ji every day to train the lazy Shikamaru to the bitterness.
Maitkai in the third class was the most excited, because the two disciples, Xiao Li and Ning Ci, were shortlisted at the same time, and the enthusiasm for training was ten times higher than usual, and he could be seen shouting slogans and marching upside down in Konoha every day.
The trio of Sa Shinobi wandered the streets all day long, collecting information about Konoha while adjusting their state to deal with the next big battle.
Because he did not participate in the attack on Sasuke, and found all kinds of suspicions, Toth of Otoshinobi is still loyal to Orochimaru, and this time he did not attack Airo to death, but worked hard to train seriously. It's a pity that he was still regarded as an outcast, and Orochimaru didn't even tell him a little bit of information about the other players.
And the last top eight player was Mo Wen, because he didn't want the seven-tailed man Zhu Lifeng to be exposed and add variables to his plan, the third generation actually arranged for Mo Wen and Feng to have the same group duel in the additional test, so that the latter could only admit defeat helplessly. And what's even more excessive is that it seems that because they have already decided to die in battle, the three generations have a lot less scruples about Mo Wen, not only arranging my Airo to be Mo Wen's first opponent, but also not providing enough protection. You must know that because of the chaotic situation, now the spies in various villages are frequently attacking, hoping to find some useful information from these players, and all the players who participated in the third game of the exam have been attacked to a greater or lesser extent. Several other Konoha players not only have the protection of their own team teachers, but also have at least a small team of dark parts on the side to respond, which can be said to be extremely tightly protected, but Mo Wen's side, not only did not a single dark department come, but also left the red tune to perform other tasks, resulting in Mo Wen as long as he went out in the past few days, he would be tempted by other villages, and he killed a lot of people, exposing his approximate strength.
Secretly keeping this account in his heart, Mo Wen waited to watch how Ape Feiri died in the third game.
And Naruto and Sasuke, who did not participate in the last exam, also had their own experiences.
Kakashi, who went to visit the hospital, looked at the curse mark that suddenly appeared on Sasuke's neck, and his eyes were green, but he didn't expect that one of his subordinates would accidentally follow in the footsteps of red beans. Although he wanted to know what was going on between Orochimaru and Sasuke, Sasuke didn't say anything, and Kakashi had no choice but to agree to the other party's request for special training, hoping to use this to quench Sasuke's extreme thirst for power. It's just that after the proposal to seal the spell was rejected, Kakashi felt that the possibility of such an intention was no longer very likely. Under Mo Wen's two successive blows, Sasuke went to the extreme earlier than the original, and looking at the other party's dark expression, Kakashi wondered if he would betray Konoha just like that.
As for the protagonist Naruto, he was discharged from the hospital early and could only wander the streets because he had nothing to do, but he met Jiraiya, who had been prepared for a long time and pretended to meet by chance, and as in the original book, he was taken to a training camp by the other party to learn how to control the chakra of the Nine-Tails.
In general, although the wings of the butterfly are flapping and flapping, the trajectory of most of the people in the original book is still continuing.
Of course, some things are different.
Because the sand ninja trio bumped into another human pillar force in the forest of death, so that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the sand ninja had to transfer some more people from the village, and Chiyo, as the sand ninja advisor, set foot on the land of Konoha for the first time.
On the other hand, the two Yugi people were also found by Yun Ninja's spies, and after persuading the other party to no avail, they could only endure the pain and poison their hands, and the Yun Ninja spies' eyes before they died obviously indicated that this matter was not over.
In the blink of an eye, in a series of disturbances, the time came to the last day before the Zhongnin exam.
In the evening, the lights were still on in the Hokage's office.
"Old man, what are you looking for me?"
Naruto, who had just summoned the toad Bunta, was sent to the hospital, and Jiraiya sat on the sofa with a big grin and looked at the three generations with an unhappy expression.
He is actually very unaccustomed to staying in the village by nature, not only because of various constraints, but also because there are some things that he is very unaccustomed to, for example, this time, he already knew that Sha Ren and Yin Ren were coming back to attack, but for the so-called training, in order to be surprised, the village didn't even tell those lower-level ninjas to prepare, isn't this pushing them to die?
sighed faintly, how could the three generations not hear the dissatisfaction of their apprentices?
It's just that things have come to this point, but there is no turning back.
Looking at the night outside the house with affection, Sarutobi said without looking back: "Jiraiya, if something happens to me tomorrow, you can get Tsunade back and let her take over as the fifth Hokage!" ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Old man, I promised to be your escort tomorrow, do you think you and I can't beat Orochimaru alone?" ”
Although he was the tail of the crane when he was young, he didn't think that he couldn't beat Orochimaru now, plus an ape flying who was not at his peak, but he still had shadow-level strength, even if he couldn't win, he couldn't lose.
Shaking his head slightly, Ape Fei said in a low voice: "I'm not worried about Orochimaru's problem, he is my student, although I haven't seen him for many years, I still have some understanding of how much strength he has!" ”
I was puzzled and scratched my head.
"That's Yun Ren's side? But aren't they showing signs of a big move? Even if the rest of the squad elite appears, it is estimated that they will go to the two-tailed people's pillar force, and when the time comes, there will naturally be the little ghost of the Inuzuka family in your mouth to block it, what other problems can you have? ”
The three generations smiled bitterly, "The problem is the little ghost of the Inuzuka family, I'm not worried about whether he can deal with Yun Shinobi, I'm afraid that he will be too ruthless and make things unmanageable?" ”
Jiraiya's feeling became more and more confused, in his opinion, as long as he could solve Yun Ren's troubles, wouldn't this matter be over? What else is there to say.
Looking at his expression, the three generations couldn't help but sigh, his apprentice is good at everything, but he has a big temperament, and he doesn't like to spend his brain on those dark things.
Can he say directly that because I plan to die in battle, I am afraid that the little ghost will make a great contribution this time, thus threatening the position of Tsunade's next Hokage?
sighed lightly, thinking of the back hand he left, but Ape Fei didn't think much about it, and just said to Jiraiya: "In short, I'll leave it to you in the future, Jiraiya, if something happens to me, you must get Tsunade back and assist him well." ”
"Also, if possible, help me take care of Asma and Konohamaru, I'm a little worried about them!"
