After judging Jiraiya in absentia, Uchiha Tokumitsu put the matter aside for the time being.

Although he was also full of desire to explore the mysteries of senjutsu, he still understood the truth of being quick and not reaching, so after arranging all the arrangements, Uchiha Tokumitsu began to sit and wait for the fish to take the bait.

The bulletin boards at the Police Department Headquarters and various district police stations have also been added with a notice over time that lists Jiraiya as a "ninja with questionable loyalty".

But most of the Konoha ninjas don't take this matter to heart anymore.

And the various activities launched by the police department have covered up the notices.

"Suspicious ...... loyalty"

Orochimaru's face was gloomy as he repeatedly flipped through the contents of the announcements that his subordinates copied back from the bulletin board of the Ministry of Police, and it seemed that he wanted to see the flowers over and over again.

Not surprisingly, the verdict and punishment of the Ministry of Police have been issued, and Orochimaru still can't contact Jiraiya.

I don't know if Jiraiya's sudden "disappearance" was self-escape or was secretly hacked, which made Orochimaru feel uncomfortable.

"That nerd!"

……

Except for Orochimaru and Tsunade, everyone else didn't care about Jiraiya's peeping about the development of the case.

Because the long-advocated Zhongnin joint examination is about to begin.

The first to arrive in Konoha was naturally the ninja of the Grass Country who was forever loyal to the Uchiha.

In order to compete for a place to go to Konoha to participate in the joint examination of the middle ninja, the factions of the grass ninja village almost fought, and finally under the adjustment of the leader Mang, the factions divided the places equally, and a total of twenty-one lower ninjas were made, and seven upper ninjas were temporarily transferred in the village to serve as temporary teachers of the lower ninjas to support the façade, so as to form the middle ninja joint examination lineup of the grass ninja village.

For their first loyal dog outside the village, the Uchiha clan has always been more sincere.

Since Uchiha Tokumitsu left the town of the Northwest Ninja Army, the grass ninja who paid the blood tax has not been bad, whether it is war requisition or joint company employment, these poor grass ninjas have made a lot of money, and all kinds of basic ninjutsu are not hidden, as long as the contribution of the grass ninja is up to standard, the Uchiha ninjas basically give them a special ninjutsu as a reward with a wave of their hand.

And this time, the grass ninjas are even more majestic and high-spirited to organize the best lower ninja juniors in their minds, planning to make a concentrated appearance in front of His Excellency Deguang, or to get a few more contract employment places in the United Company next year.

is different from the grass forbearance who is full of inner drama, and the fog is relatively serious.

Of the thirty people who participated in the joint examination of the middle ninja, fifteen of them were from the three clans of Zhengyi, and the team formation was also quite interesting.

"The ninjas of the three clans are mixed together to form a tactical squad?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the list of exams in the fog and thought it was quite interesting.

"Yes, Tokumitsu-sama~"

Mizuki Chino, who was in charge of leading the team, replied respectfully: "After returning to the fog in accordance with your orders, our three clans have discussed that in order to maintain the order of the ninja village and the friendship between the three clans in the long run, the descendants of the three clans will be mixed to teach the juniors to unite from a young age, and only when they grow up can they dedicate their strength to the shogunate." “

"Excellent! It is really a blessing for the three clans to have such an understanding! “

Uchiha Tokumitsu was very satisfied.

With this high intention, he must be more or less a loyal minister of the shogunate!

"Then I'm looking forward to Kiri's performance in the Zhongnin Joint Entrance Examination!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu put down the list in his hand and nodded.

"You won't be disappointed!"

Shui Wuyue Qiannuo immediately got up and bowed to resign.

And there are as many as 24 people in the team participating in the exam in Rain Ninja Village, and after the arrival of the Shinobi in Konoha with his leader, he also invited Uchiha Tokumitsu, the biggest financier of Rain Ninja Village, to meet the biggest financier of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and after a pleasant greeting, he informed Uchiha that Hanzo Sanshoyu planned to come to Konoha to watch the game in the final stage of the Zhongninja Joint Entrance Examination.

"If Mr. Hanzo is willing to come and watch the game, that would be a great thing!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was happy to see that, too.

"The candidates selected by the rain ninja village this time are all elite shinobi, if Lord Tokumitsu has time during the exam, I hope to be able to go to the scene to see the performance of the juniors, if you can give some guidance, it would be great......"

Rain Shinobi led the team to pluck up the courage and said.

This is not something arranged by Hanzo of Sanshoyu, it is purely his own play.

Sanshoyu Hanzo is known as a demigod, and both strength and status are unquestionable. Although after the rise of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the momentum is much smaller than back then, but because Uchiha Tokumitsu hires Rain Ninja to participate in various wars, and the United Company also has long-term employment tasks in Rain Ninja Village, so on the whole, the situation of the Rain Ninja is still passable.

Moreover, although the rain ninjas love money, they still respect the leader of Sanshoyu Hanzo, and in their minds, Sanshoyu Hanzou can still occupy half of the country - as for the other half, it naturally belongs to the Tokuko shogunate that is not only powerful, but also speaks well, and gives money and is refreshing!

"Rain Ninja Village is a place where heroes come out, I'll go to see it when the time comes, as for the guidance, there is still a lot of gap between me and Mr. Hanzo's teaching level."

Uchiha Tokumitsu laughed and replied without a leak.

"Looking forward to the arrival of Lord Tokumitsu!"

The corners of the mouth of the rain ninja led the team were almost grinning behind the ears.

As for the team from the south of the Frost Country, it was purely a make-up, the Uchiha Fire Gate searched the territory, and barely made up nine lower ninjas, and because the southern frost ninja was generally not strong, the Uchiha Fire Gate specially arranged for a shogunate ninja to temporarily go up and lead the team, so as to act as a façade.

For this kind of team that is purely a group of people, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not look at them differently, and also met with them, and warmly encouraged them to "test the style, the level, and the indomitable spirit of frost ninja".

After all, after watching a round, the strength of Frost to endure Nala's extreme strength can only be like this.

In addition, the examination delegation of the Sand Hidden side also sent an envoy to Konoha to arrive at the front station in advance, and said that the chief elder of the Sand Hide, Ebizo or the third generation of Kazekage, may come to watch the tournament in the final stage, and also hope to meet with Uchiha Tokumitsu in secret to reach a cooperation.

Uchiha Tokumitsu also did not refuse to come.

Sanshoyu Hanzo is here, and it is nothing to have another high-level of Shayin, so naturally he also agreed to the request of the Shayin envoy.

In addition, there are small ninja villages such as Snow Ninja Village and Star Ninja Village that have decided to participate, but due to the long distance, they have not yet arrived in Konoha at this time.

……

"The village's recent economic situation is really good!"

In the office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sakushige Hagi almost smiled as he flipped through the village's recent economic report.

"Ninjas are all high-income people, and their coming to the village will naturally have a certain effect on the consumption of the village."

Uchiha Tokumitsu replied.

Although the lower ninjas who came to participate in the joint examination of the middle ninja and the accompanying upper ninjas all enjoyed the basic treatment of food and accommodation, after all, the bustling world is charming, and Konoha always has a lot of things that make these native buns from the countryside feel novel, so their wallets have naturally made due contributions to Konoha's economic growth.

"But when Hanzo-san and the Kazekage of the sand hide arrives in Konoha...... And what kind of reception should it be received? ”

Sakumo Hagi asked a troubling question.

"Just be equal to you and me."

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not put on the so-called Governor of Konoha as a stand, but gave the answer directly: "Konoha is a ninja village of the ninja republic, and naturally the highest etiquette cannot exceed the specifications of the Governor and the Speaker of the Senate and the House of Representatives." ”

"Mr. Hanzo probably won't mind that, but the Sand Hide's side ...... After all, they have turned the village into a country. ”

Sakushige Hachiki also voiced his doubts.

"Now it's the sand that asks for us...... If you continue to dwell on these red tapes, then Shayin should also perish. ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled and said indifferently.

The battle between Sand and Iwain continues.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu encouraged Sanshoyu Hanzo's Rain Ninja Village to expand westward and threaten the Bird Country, the logistics base of the Iwakure Expeditionary Force, Iwakure, who was the head iron, did not flinch, but took the method of sending more ninja troops to force back the prying eyes of the Rain Ninja.

According to the information of the Sand Hide, although the Iwain Expeditionary Force fighting in the territory of the Land of the Wind has made slow progress, it has been moving forward slowly, and it has been fighting with the Sand Hide, which advocates coming and going like the wind, and gradually compressing the strategic living space of the Sand Hide.

Because of this, the Sand Hide side began to be dissatisfied with the shogunate's arms sales support, and began to seek more direct help from the shogunate and even Konoha.

For example, the shogunate entered the war.

"Then do what you say~"

Qimu Shuomao also thought of this trick, and he no longer attached himself to these etiquette things.

……

The Konoha ninjas weren't idle.

As the home of the Chinese Ninja Joint Entrance Examination, both ninjas and civilian ninjas are looking forward to their children being able to show their majesty in the examination field.

Even the Hyuga clan, who are accustomed to Taoguang and obscurity, began to select seeds in the clan for intensive training under the influence of the atmosphere, in order to show the demeanor of the Hyuga clan in the joint examination of the middle ninja.

And the Thousand Hands Clan is the one who is most concerned about this matter among the Konoha ninja clan.

The Thousand-Hand Elders also made a decision that violated the ancestral teachings, and taught all the basic ninjutsu in the family to the younger generation of lower ninja clansmen, in order to have a certain positive stimulating effect on their strength in a short period of time.

Their expectations are not high, as long as there are clansmen who can eliminate an Uchiha ninja in the battle link of the Zhongninja Joint Entrance Examination.

After all, although the reorganized Thousand Hands Clan seems to be huge, in fact, the reality of the lack of green and yellow has not changed much in a short period of time.

The Police Preparatory School has entered the intensive training link before the examination.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu will not relax the difficulty or leak the questions in advance because most of them are the descendants of the Uchiha clan, he also vaguely pointed out to the chief teacher in charge of the police preparatory school that the core of this year's Zhongninja Joint Examination - the strength competition.

The head teacher naturally understood, and immediately rushed back to the police academy to gather all the Uchiha ninjas who were going to participate in the joint examination for the middle ninja joint examination for devilish training.

As a member of the dignified Konoha ruling ninja clan, the head teacher felt that even if the family missed a rank, it would be an insult to the family, so he naturally ruthlessly trained the lower ninjas who participated in the training camp to scream one by one.

Just when the Konoha ninjas and the ninja village ninjas who participated in the competition were preparing to fight one by one, the Ministry of Police finally issued a notice about holding a joint examination for the Chinese ninja.

"Exams start next Wednesday...... We've come just in time! ”

On the same day that the exam notice was released, the team with the largest number of participants in the exam finally arrived in Konoha.

The leader of the team, Shinobu Kami, also saw a notice about the exam time on the bulletin board of the West Ward Police Station.

"It's the first time I've seen so many ninjas from other ninja villages in one ninja village!"

A sand hibire participant said.

The prosperity and affluence of Konoha was a shock to the Sand Hidden Ninja who had just withdrawn from the front-line battlefield.

Although most of the Konoha ninjas expressed indifference to the current situation of their ninja villages, for other ninja villages, especially Sand Hide, who was in a state of war, Konoha was simply an enviable heavenly kingdom on earth.

"Instead of envying others, strengthen yourself"

Sha Yin led the team to cheer up his subordinates and said: "As long as you can stand out in the joint examination of the middle ninja, you will be qualified for the secret technique of a village!" No matter how rich you are, you can't get a good thing! ”

"I will fight for the glory of the sand!"

A group of sand hidden shinobi was on Konoha Street, and the crowd responded excitedly.

It also attracted the repeated sideways glances of the Konoha villagers who passed by.

It's just that although the sand and shinobi are very active one by one, there are still many people who are absent-minded.

Although it was only the first time to arrive in Konoha, compared to the poor Sand Cover, the flowery Konoha still made many Sand Hide shinobi fascinated, and in contrast, the oasis of the Land of the Wind didn't feel so pleasing to the eye.

"The new annual recruitment plan of the United Company has been launched!"

Just as the Sand Hides were absentmindedly cheering each other on, someone suddenly shouted loudly on the other side of the Konoha Commercial Street.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, countless ninjas from the ninja village such as Konoha, Rain Ninja, and Grass Ninja suddenly appeared, rushing over like hungry tigers pounced on food, and surrounded the notice that had just been posted on the recruitment notice.

"It's ......"

The sand hidden ninjas, who have never seen the world, are a little ignorant.

"The Uchiha clan's joint company is recruiting ninjas on a long-term contract basis."

Sand Hide led the team to reply disapprerovingly: "But only those civilian ninjas who have no interest or the guys from the small ninja village will flock to these." ”

“…… Associated companies. ”

The sand hire's ninjas silently wrote down the name.

"After becoming a contract ninja of the United Company, although I had a fixed salary, free medical care, ninjutsu distributed according to contributions, and apartments that could be purchased at low cost, etc., I also lost my personal freedom, and I had to follow the orders of those high-level people to work around, and I was no longer as ......happy as a free body."

Sha Yin led the team to criticize again.

"Uh-huh! That's right! The teacher was so right! ”

The sand shinobi nodded in agreement.

……

"Heroes of the ninja world are in the middle of my life!"

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office on the top floor of the Konoha Police Department Headquarters Building, Uchiha Tokumitsu looked down on Konoha and suddenly felt full of ambition and high spirits.

I can't spare time for the construction site today, and I will change it tomorrow~ I hope you understand
