Early July of Konoha 52.
Konoha Village, the overlord of the ninja world that has won three consecutive ninja world wars, has suffered a series of blows to its reputation in recent years.
This time, the Chunin Selection Examination actually took the initiative to invite neighboring countries to participate, and also invited political figures from various countries to come and watch the ceremony. It is obvious that Konoha is very confident in the Genin of this Chunin Selection Examination.
Out of respect for Konoha's ally, Amegakure Village, Kusanoin Village, Takigakure Village, and Sunagakure Village all sent a Genin team to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Selection Examination.
Although Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages did not send genin teams to take part in the exam, they still sent officials and ninjas to observe the meeting.
Some other neutral countries, such as the Kingdom of Frost, the Kingdom of Iron, the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the Kingdom of the Sea, also sent envoys. Among them, the Hoshigakure Village of the Bear Kingdom also sent a genin to participate in the chunin selection exam alone.
As for the Uzumaki clan, Konoha's "hardcore ally", there is no exception. Bai Yu not only came with his son and daughter, but also took the initiative to ask the genin of the Uzumaki clan to participate in Konoha's chunin selection exam.
To this, Konoha's top leaders readily agreed, believing that the Uzumaki clan needed to consolidate its alliance with Konoha to deal with external pressure after provoking Kirigakure and Iwagakure one after another.
After all, Konoha is still the strongest ninja village in terms of comprehensive strength in the current ninja world.
When Bai Yu and his party arrived at the east gate of Konoha Village, they saw Nao Shu standing at the gate.
After Naoki saw Bai Yu and others from a distance, he trotted over quickly, stopped in front of Bai Yu, and punched him in the chest with his fist: "You guy, if it weren't for this chunin exam, you How long has it been since you last visited me?"
Bai Yu smiled, opened his arms towards Shengshu, the two hugged, then pointed to the four people behind him and introduced to Shengshu: "This is Taiyi and Guangzi, these two are my disciples, Jun Maro, Shiro.”
"Hurry up and call someone." Bai Yu patted Taiyi on the head: "This is your Uncle Shengshu."
"Uncle Shengshu." Photon said politely.
Taiyi rubbed his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied with why Bai Yu only hit him on the head, and then said angrily: "Uncle Shengshu."
"Lord Nousuki." Kimimaro and Shiro bowed respectfully.
Naoki smiled at Shiro and Kimimaro, then turned his attention to Taichi and Mitsuko, pointed at himself and said: "Taiichi, Mitsuko, don't be so separated, I hugged you when you were born, no. Do you remember?"
"I have no impression at all, uncle." Taiyi shook his head.
"What uncle? I'm only in my twenties and haven't gotten married yet! I want to call you brother!" Naoki said with a non-serious look, without any bearing of Konoha's elite jounin.
Taiyi glanced sideways at Shengshu and said, "Uncle, you unshaven guy looks like you are at least ten years older than my dad. Stop pretending to be young!"
Rope tree: (°ー°〃)
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this time, the rope tree had a beard. It seemed that he could learn from the first generation in terms of hairstyle. He had long hair, but the first generation had long and straight black hair, while his hair was slightly curly. And he is still tawny, with a big beard on his face. He is obviously only one year older than Bai Yu, but he looks like a middle-aged man.
Of course, the shape of the rope tree cannot be said to be ugly, but it is very mature.
"This is the mature uncle style that is popular these days. What do you know?!"
Seeing Bai Yu snickering, Shengshu broke through his defense instantly and squatted down to argue with Taiyi.
"Old man." Taiyi replied.
"Ah, damn it!" Nao Shu picked up Tai Yi, then rubbed his face with his beard, and shouted back: "Let me show you how powerful this old man is!"
At this time, Guangzi hid behind Bai Yu and looked at the two childish ghosts with disgust.
"Okay! Rope Tree! You are so grown up, and you still look like a child!"
A female voice came from behind everyone, and it was Tsunade who came.
Behind her was a girl wearing a black kimono and holding a piglet. Her name was Kato Shizune. She was Kato Dan's niece. After Kato Dan's death, Tsunade discovered that Shizune had a good talent for medical ninjutsu and had no relatives. So he accepted her as his disciple and stayed with her to travel around the ninja world to "do charity".
After receiving Bai Yu's message, Tsunade originally didn't want to go back to Konoha, but considering that Bai Yu said there was something important, and at the same time, Bai Yu had owed Bai Yu a lot just by lending her money to pay off her gambling debts over the years. Hundreds of millions. Now Bai Yu said that he needed her help for something, and Tsunade was too embarrassed to refuse directly. Thinking that she hadn't returned to the village for a long time, and hadn't seen the rope tree for a long time, Tsunade took Shizune back to the village, but she didn't expect to catch up. .
"Sister, you're back!" Naoki looked at Tsunade who suddenly appeared with surprise.
"Don't put Taiyi down yet." Seeing Taiyi's constant struggle, Tsunade immediately showed her sister's majesty and lectured: "If you like children so much, get married as soon as possible! Otherwise, when you go to the Pure Land to see your grandfather, it will be up to you. How embarrassing!”
"If you want to get married, sister, you should get married first. If I remember correctly, you are more than ten years older than me!" Shengshu retorted.
"Sister, uncle bullied me!" Taichi quickly complained to Tsunade.
"What sister! I have to call you aunt! My sister is over forty this year..." Naoshu looked like he was not afraid of death.
Tsunade went up and grabbed his mouth: "You kid, don't you know that a woman's age is a secret?!"
Naoki's mouth was pulled hard by Tsunade, and he grinned in pain, and finally he didn't dare to show off anymore.
Bai Yu looked at the field in front of him and was amused again. This guy Shengshu was still so used to being funny after so many years.
Especially Tsunade looked like she was in her early twenties, while Naoki looked like an uncle. This sibling combination looked really full of joy.
There was an endless stream of guests coming and going at the door, and there were also some richly dressed dignitaries who came to the door in sedan chairs. They looked at the few people who were playing loudly and unscrupulously, but no one came forward to disturb them.
After all, whether it is the name of the Sannin, the grandson of the First Hokage, the awakened Wooden Release, or the Yagami Baiyu, they are all famous figures in the ninja world. If they are considered masters in the eyes of ordinary people, if they want to go there and make friends, It also depends on the mood of Bai Yu and others.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. Every time I teach you a lesson, you always have to blame me." After Tsunade finished teaching the rope tree, she looked at Bai Yu and said with wide eyes: "You kid, every time The first time I met you, I couldn't help but want to ask you, how did you learn the medical ninjutsu? Why does your skin feel better every time we meet? Even if you are just an adult, I'm afraid no one will doubt it. "
Seeing that Tsunade brought the topic to him again, Bai Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said: "The secret to staying young is to get married early and marry a capable wife."
Tsunade:"......"
Rope Tree: "..."
"Okay, you kid is as bad as Naoki, and you are talking about me being old in a roundabout way!" Tsunade suddenly shouted angrily.
With that said, Tsunade walked up to Bai Yu, stretched out her arms and prepared to give him a classic throat lock.
But when she stood opposite Bai Yu, Tsunade realized that Bai Yu had grown a lot taller. With her height of just over six meters tall, if she locked Bai Yu's neck, she would probably have to hang on him, so she simply stopped playing around and acted seriously. Said: "Tell me, why did you ask me to come back this time?"
"Let's talk about it in the village first. This matter can't be discussed here." Bai Yu said with a smile.
"Let's talk first. If you ask me to pay back the money, it's impossible now. It's up to you whether you want money or not." Tsunade pretended to be a rogue.
"It's just a small amount of money. Of course I won't go all the way to Konoha."
Bai Yu shook his head.
"Then go in quickly." Tsunade said.
The group of people walked towards the inside of Konoha Village.
Shengshu came to Bai Yu's side and whispered with a gossipy face: "Bai Yu, how much does my sister owe you? Let me help her pay back part of it first."
Obviously, Naoki also knows about Tsunade's virtues and does charity everywhere in the ninja world. Now part of the industry left by the Senju clan is in his hands.
Although Naoki often sends money to Tsunade, he will not hand over the property to her. After all, she is desperate to lose money in gambling, and may use all these ancestral properties as mortgage. This is what Mito's grandma repeatedly warned before her death.
"They are all our own, there is no need to rush to pay them back." Bai Yu said.
"I know the Uzumaki clan needs money to rebuild, so don't be polite to me." Naoki insisted.
"Oh, not much, probably five or six billion." Bai Yu said calmly.
"..." Shengshu fell into silence, and then suddenly said: "I just helped her pay back 40 million taels last month, and she still owes you 500 to 600 million?!"
"It's all small money, I don't remember." Bai Yu waved his hand very arrogantly.
Shengshu said sternly: "Bai Yu, why don't you marry your sister together? I'll feel more at ease with you taking care of her, so that she won't harm the Thousand Hands clan's property again."
Bai Yu: Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Shengshu, you kid is looking for death!"
Tsunade's furious voice came from ahead.
...
To the northeast of Konoha Village, there is the 44th Training Ground, a primeval forest known as the 'Forest of Death'. It retains the most primitive ecological environment. There are so many poisonous insects and beasts that ordinary people may not survive in it for an entire afternoon.
And this is the examination room for the second Chunin Selection Examination.
Genin who take part in the Chunin Selection Examination need to stay here for five days.
The content of the test is that half of the Genin team will get the Scroll of Heaven, and the other half of the Genin team will get the Scroll of Earth. Each team will get a pair of Scrolls of Heaven and Earth and pass through the Forest of Death to reach the central tower within 5 days. That is considered a test. Passed the second assessment.
A total of 166 genin participated in this chuunin selection examination, with a total of 56 teams.
Normally, a genin team has three members, but the Uzumaki clan's genin team only has two members, Kimimaro and Shiro; and the Hoshigakure village's genin team has only one member, whose name is "Meteor".
Among the genin teams from Konoha's village participating in the competition, Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader, also participated in the chunin exams in a single team.
The other teams, whether they are from Konoha, the teams from Sunagakure Village, Amegakure Village, Takigakure Village, and Kusakunin Village, are all three-person teams.
Because if the rules allow it, naturally the larger the team, the higher the probability of passing the exam.
There are 151 genin from Konoha Village's ninja participating in this competition, and 51 genin teams.
A large ninja village with a large population like Konoha usually holds chunin selection exams twice a year.
Inviting all countries to come and watch the ceremony this time is naturally to show the strength and heritage of Konoha.
The essence of the Chunin Selection Examination is a competition between major powers to observe national strength. There was a precedent for two Great Ninja Villages holding the Chunin Selection Examination together.
Of course, in this Chunin Selection Examination, Konoha is the absolute protagonist, and other villages are participating in the exam with the mentality of participating in it.
The number of people from the village of Konoha who take the exam is overwhelming. Although the rules do not allow ninjas from the same village to form illegal teams, ninjas from the same Konoha will definitely not kill them directly if they encounter them in the exam.
After all, this time is to publicly display the entire process of the Konoha Chuunin Exam to all countries, so those who dare to take the exam are naturally the elites among the genin, and most of these elites are from the ninja clan and belong to the same village, even if they usually have personal grudges , and will not retaliate directly on such occasions and leave a stain on his resume.
At this time, at the high tower in the center of the Death Forest, the Jounin of Konoha and the leading ninjas from other villages had already arrived.
As for those ordinary people with noble status, even though they will be protected by ninjas, they are still unwilling to come to the depths of the primitive forest with a harsh environment. They have to wait until the pre-selection is over to see the real elite showdowns, so they came to the central tower They are all ninjas.
Out of curiosity, Bai Yu naturally came to the central tower.
After all, in his first life, he only saw the process of the Chunin Selection Examination in anime. But when he actually came to this world, and because of the war that broke out, his promotion process was achieved based on accumulated military merit. He never participated in the Chunin Selection Examination.
Originally, after the second exam, there would be a preliminary selection to eliminate half of the genin and ensure that all those participating in the third exam were elites. However, because of Bai Yu's curiosity, he came to the tower to visit the second exam. For such a distinguished guest as him, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to entertain him personally.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bai Yu to be interested in such a basic exam." Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused, and completely treated Bai Yu as an equal being to talk to him, even though Bai Yu was once his most optimistic disciple, and he was Subordinates who can be dispatched at will, but today is different from the past and must be treated very seriously.
"I just want to see how long it takes my subordinates to pass the exam." Bai Yu said with a smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly: "Under normal circumstances, an excellent genin should pass the exam within two days. For some very few geniuses, it may only take one day. The exam only started an hour ago. It is too early to come here and wait. ”
"There are always some people who are special, such as Uchiha Itachi, the new member of the Uchiha clan. I think he should pass the exam today." Bai Yu said with a smile.
This is not a compliment, because he clearly understands the power of the double Magatama Sharingan, especially since Itachi opened his eyes at the age of 8. Now he is 10 years old and has been trained by shadow-level powerhouses such as Fugaku and Shisui. Generally, The chuunin was no match for him.
"Itachi is indeed very good." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, but his heart sank. It seems that Danzo's words are absolutely correct. Bai Yu is indeed interested in the Uchiha clan. Recently, he has frequently been with Issei and Zhizhi. Water contact between two people must be avoided.
When Bai Yu left the village with Kushina, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, it had already brought a huge blow to Konoha. If some Uchiha clan members were pried away, how could Konoha gain a foothold in the ninja world.
It's just extremely ironic that the village's face in the Chuunin Examination this time will probably have to rely on Uchiha, a ninja clan that has always been under suspicion.
There were many excellent genin to refer to, but the only one who stood out was Itachi.
For Konoha's chunin selection exam this time, only Kirigakure Village did not send either ninjas or officials.
Although the three villages of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure were a little unruly, several jounin who were accompanying them also started talking to each other.
Although Sunagakure sent a team, they only participated in the exam symbolically to give Konoha face. As for their own face, it didn't matter at all.
With the complete failure of the Third World War, the daimyo of the Land of Wind reduced the funds allocated, causing Sunagakure Village to fall into a bottleneck of development. It had to drastically lay off employees, reduce the number of ninjas, and follow the path of elites.
Kumogakure and Iwagakure did not send anyone to participate in the competition. The jounin on both sides were only here to protect the officials, so they seemed very relaxed. Their purpose was to protect and explore Konoha's strength at the same time.
"somebody is coming!"
While everyone was talking quietly in small groups, everyone saw the footage from the surveillance camera outside the tower through the huge electronic screen on the wall.
Two young men wearing white clothes with swirling patterns printed on their backs opened the door of the tower. They were both about eight or nine years old. They were Kimimaro and Shiro, the participating ninjas of the Uzumaki clan.
The two of them arrived here less than two hours before the exam started.
"Look at them!"
"How could this be possible?!"
"It's almost like..."
Some of the ninjas who were invigilating the exam couldn't help but exclaimed. They saw that the two men were spotless and looked like there was no trace of fighting at all. If they had not participated in the Chunin Selection Exam, they would have thought they were here for fun!
"It's already a record, right?"
Everyone couldn't help but marvel. They originally thought that Uchiha Itachi must have been the first one to come here. After all, the ability to open double magatama at the age of 8 was unique in the entire history of the Uchiha clan. Itachi's reputation as a genius had long been spread throughout the world. If he hadn't left Konoha for this Chunin exam, he would have been promoted to Chunin based on his performance.
Kimimaro and Shiro stood behind Shiro Yu in the corridor on the second floor, saluted him respectfully, and then nodded.
Bai Yu saw this and smiled at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "It seems that our ninjas from the Uzumaki clan are a little ahead."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled awkwardly.
After a while, a young man with short green hair walked into the tower. He was the single reference member of Xingyin Village, 'Meteor Star'.
"He's actually a ninja from Hoshiyin Village?"
"Is there this village in the ninja world?"
"It seems like a Ninja Village in the Bear Country?"
Just when everyone was confused, a Chuunin who was proctoring the exam in the Forest of Death came to Sarutobi Hiruzen and whispered something in his ear.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened slightly, and then he motioned for the Chuunin to retreat.
No wonder Itachi didn't get here first. Kimimaro, Shiro, and Meteor met Itachi halfway.
The three of them teamed up to force Itachi to give up the Earth Scroll. Considering the strength of the three, Itachi took the initiative to hand over the scroll and avoided a fight. Now he needs to gather the Heaven and Earth Scrolls again in order to pass the exam.
'Damn Bai Yu! This is a deliberate slap in his face! '
Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed inwardly.
