Rumors started out as just rumors.
Although most people knew it, no one dared to actually go to the Hokage Building to inquire about its authenticity.
No one dared to go to Konoha with a knife to forcefully obtain this so-called immortality technology.
but now……
Konoha actually publicly recognized this technology and used it as a reward for the first place in this joint chunin exam to give a twenty-year life span.
This move has a sensational effect in the circle of wealthy people who have relied on the trend of more than ten years.
In the large caravans more than ten years ago, most of the people in power were middle-aged. Now, more than ten years have passed, and some of them are already facing the problem of old age.
Another group of people who are still young also discovered the key points in the news.
Precious test materials, the only remaining spots for sale...
Obviously, even Konoha, even a scientific research unit that has created countless miracles, cannot achieve endless results in making people immortal.
And since the places are limited, these young people must also prepare.
In fact, don't those who are already old want to buy a quota and store the cells and tissues at this time in an attempt to use them when they are about to die?
After this news came out in the Konoha News, Konoha, which was already flooded with a large number of people due to the Joint Chunin Examination, saw even more people flock in the next day.
Obviously, they are all here for that spot.
…
Konoha, the villa area where the Tsuchikage lives.
In the lobby, Kurotsuchi was sitting on the sofa and looking at the large LCD in front of him.
Behind him, Chitu reported the latest information with an honest look.
"After Konoha publicly released the news, basically the entire ninja world group took action, and the same was true for the seven groups in the Earth Kingdom."
"In addition, the six consortiums that have been active in the small country by selling war equipment and Konoha technological items have also sent their henchmen to Konoha."
"It can be said that according to the known information, the entire ninja world's richest people are going crazy this time."
Kurotsuchi smiled without looking away from the LCD screen.
"Konoha pointed out that they have this technology, and explained that the number of places is limited. They said overtly and covertly that this technology may not be able to be reproduced after this."
"In this way, these rich and greedy guys will naturally go crazy and want a spot. This era is the best era, there is no war and no precarious life. Of course they want to live for twenty more years .”
Kurotsuchi didn't make a sound, still staying quietly behind Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi threw a grape into his mouth, spit out the grape skin and sighed.
"One of the first places... will definitely be sold to a sky-high price by those crazy people."
"And those who can be brought to participate in the Joint Chunin Examination are the next generation geniuses from each village. How will the Kage of each village deal with such a large sum of money, or the quota itself?"
"Someone wants to put Konoha in the spotlight and be targeted by all the capital that has supported it. But now, the ball has been kicked back."
"A genius is related to the next ten or twenty years, compared with a huge amount of money, or extending your life span by twenty years..."
Kurotsuchi turned back to look at Chitu: "What a bastard! We Iwagakure were not involved in this matter at all, why are we targeted together?"
Chitu smiled and replied: "We have no ambitions. This is the advice left by the old man."
Yeah...we have no ambitions.
It didn't happen before, and it's even less likely to happen now.
Before there is no clear news of the death of the person in Konoha...
No, Iwagakure will not have any ambitions until he sees that person's funeral, and everything can be coordinated.
And if this one never comes, then give up all unwillingness and hatred, and let hatred be completely forgotten by this generation.
In this way... Iwagakure becomes history, and the people of Earth Country can continue to live a good life.
…
In the adjacent villa.
After Mabuyi's barrier was laid, an iron plate appeared in the center.
Compared to the remote video calls developed by Konoha's Scientific Research Department 2, Kumogakure would choose to use the technique of heavenly sending to transmit information when discussing sensitive issues.
Although it is a little troublesome, it is better than safety.
But this time, the information coming from the village rarely contained only one word: Wait.
wait?
What are you waiting for?
Azabui frowned tightly. From the time Konoha released the news to now, the entire ninja world's famous group has been boiling.
Not talking about the quotas that will be released in the future, the quotas awarded in this Chunin Exam alone make this group of people feel like cats that have smelled fishy.
If no measures are taken, the group of people who originally secretly targeted Konoha because of the longevity technology will instead become Konoha's supporters from now on.
It doesn't take too much, just one quota for one year, two years and five years to control these guys who have gained a lot of wealth.
After a long time, the iron plate was sent back by Azabu using the art of heaven. This was a common practice and a good habit to leave no traces.
…
the next day.
The third elimination round of the Joint Chuunin Examination was still held on time, and all the candidates had already gathered in the waiting area early in the morning.
"Shikadai, you are the last one to arrive..."
Boruto walked over with a playful smile, reached out and patted his shoulder: "How are you? Are you confident?"
Shikadai said calmly: "You are not the only one who has undergone special training. The Muji Ninjutsu that can disappear temporarily, and you can only separate the chakra of four shadow clones, you should not be able to use it without restrictions. Bar?"
"Um?"
Boruto's eyes widened: "You guy, couldn't you have even planned a strategy against me?"
Shikadai replied helplessly: "Although the Chuunin exam is very troublesome, if you are eliminated early, it will be even more troublesome to go home and deal with my mother."
At this time, Meazi on the side said: "You are too confident. This guy's personality has changed a lot since he went to Master Yun's place."
Sarana was a little surprised: "So Boruto has another trump card that we don't know about?"
Boruto: "(_)I said I am really everything. Do you believe it?"
Yuno Iwabe put the stick on his back: "This time there is no help from Meiko. We must rely on ourselves to become a chuunin."
Maytal was a little nervous, even though he was sitting down, his legs were shaking.
When he thought that he would be watched by everyone in the venue, he inexplicably wanted to find a place to hide.
Even psychological suggestion seems to have no effect now.
At this time, Uchiha Yu, who had been waiting quietly, said: "Our opponents will definitely go all out this time. Just the reward for first place is a huge sum."
"The reason why the village did not announce it before the start of the chuunin exams is probably because it is worried that it will cause a situation where many versus one will eliminate the outstanding ones first."
As he spoke, Yu looked at Boruto, who was already eager to try: "Don't let that thing confuse your mind, Boruto! You may be prepared to have a backup plan, but when things can't be done, it's okay to admit defeat."
Boruto made a fist with one hand and waved: "Are you kidding? How could I give up? Don't worry, I will definitely be the first this time!"
Compared with the high energy of these few, the new generation of Inokacho, Riakimichi Chodie and Yamanaka Hana were talking quietly.
The bag of potato chips was quickly divided between the two. It was obvious that the two of them didn't pay much attention to the Chunin Exam.
The pigs, deer and butterflies of this generation are all quite Buddhist.
…
At the venue, the Godaime Hokage Naruto sat in the center of the central stand, with the other three Kages and Azabu lined up in sequence.
As the person in charge of this Chunin Exam, Shikamaru stood behind Naruto.
The surroundings of the stands were already filled with spectators, most of whom were group representatives who came to Konoha yesterday.
"I've heard rumors about longevity technology before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Kurotsuchi raised his head casually and observed the expressions of several people with his peripheral vision.
Chojuro smiled helplessly: "If this happens, these guys will go crazy."
Mabuyi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the cell tissue storage business of Konoha Scientific Research Department was very popular yesterday."
In one sentence, one person already mentioned the issue of immortality technology and the search for wealth.
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, looked at the three of them and sighed: "I only hope that Konoha can stabilize these already fanatical people. In any case, the people's life in the Land of Wind is the foundation of Sunagakure."
Naruto smiled: "About that news release, it was the highest suggestion from Brother Yun."
These words stunned the four of them.
You must know that since the large meeting two years before the peace began, that person has not intervened in anything for a long time.
So...does this mean that that person is going to make any new moves?
More than ten years ago, the entire ninja world's Damingfu were destroyed one after another in a very short period of time. Although it was the Akatsuki organization that took action, the top leaders of the five major ninja villages knew that it was the result of the unified will of Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora.
If the other party wants to unify by force next and reaches an agreement with Uzumaki Kong...
Thoughts were surging deep in my heart, but the next second I noticed that the left side of the center seemed to be quiet.
Looking over, they saw that the person who had made them uneasy just now was entering the venue with his wife and sat down on the left side.
It was precisely because of this person's arrival that all the group representatives around that position fell silent.
Group representatives who can be urgently dispatched to Konoha under special circumstances will definitely remember this person's appearance on TV.
It was precisely because of this that they were stunned.
"I was wondering why there are two independent large booths in that position. It turns out that this person was here to see my son's performance."
"Hey, are the seats for sale? I want to sit closer to you. How about ten million taels?"
"Go on, you're not an idiot, but you still want to get a bargain? I'll give you 100 million, will you sell it?"
"One hundred million? Do you think the value of sitting next to this gentleman, especially in this special period, is a lot?"
"It's just a possible opportunity. If this person doesn't pay attention, you won't be able to get back your money at all!"
"Five hundred million taels, sir, exchange places with me for five hundred million taels, give me an account, and I'll be here right away!"
…
Jiraiya looked confused.
He has been retired for many years, and this spot in the stands was specially reserved for him by that Minato guy.
After all, Boruto is the son of his apprentice's son. As an old man, at this time, he really wants to see the performance of the new generation.
But five hundred million taels?
Now that there is a real-life version of Making Love in Paradise, you want to bribe me with 500 million taels?
"Do you know who I am?"
"How many of those who can sit here are short of money? If you want to buy a seat...you have to pay more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the several group representatives gathered around rubbed their hands and talked about how to discuss it, but there was a cry from the other side of the stand next to Uchiha Yun.
"Come on, come on! This way is coming! The one with the highest price will win!"
"In an age of peace, with endless forms of entertainment, and countless delicious food, in such a world where there are no worries and only happiness, is the master behind you really willing to leave like this?"
"Isn't the saddest thing in a person's life that the person dies before the money is used up?"
"Yes, yes! Pick up your phone and communicate with your boss! Tell them that now there is an opportunity to get close to the opportunity of immortality!"
"As we all know, there is only one person in Konoha who can give this kind of opportunity!"
"What are you still hesitating about? Make a bid!"
…
Behind the auditorium in the center of the shadow, Shikamaru, standing behind Naruto, twitched his eyes.
Naruto rubbed his eyebrows, but couldn't say much.
Mabuyi, who was sitting at the edge because she was just Kumogakure's representative, looked very ugly at the moment.
The guy who unscrupulously waved his hand and auctioned the seats was the one who invaded Kumogakure more than ten years ago with the art of reincarnation, causing the Fifth Raikage Darui to die together at the expense of himself!
But this guy, now with a different name, can live in Konoha peacefully and unscrupulously!
"Naruto……"
After Gaara thought for a moment, he still reminded him aloud.
Naruto turned his head and glanced at Shikamaru.
Understanding, Shikamaru turned and left.
After a while, Obito, who was dancing happily, was taken out by two Anbu. The seat was immediately vacant, and Shikamaru quickly sold it.
…
In a separate lounge.
Obito: (┯_┯)
"Don't look at me like this. Do you still remember what you said yesterday?"
Shikamaru rubbed his forehead, he really didn't expect this to happen.
I originally thought that this guy just wanted to watch the game, but before the game even started, he immediately used a big move.
Obito was on the verge of tears: "I just want to make some money, is it easy for me? Why is it always your Nara family? Do you have a grudge against me?"
"When I was the boss of the Akatsuki organization, I never targeted your Nara family! Why do you always mess with me?"
These words made Shikamaru angry and funny. He glanced at this guy and said, "Do you think those people have forgotten their hatred after more than ten years?"
"Mabuyi is the secretary of the Fourth Raikage and the Fifth Raikage. When the Fourth Raikage was still alive, he was familiar with Darui, the Fifth Raikage."
"Do you think...she will forget what you did more than ten years ago?"
…
