The spherical crystal draws a straight arc in the void.
It does not move very fast. Any well-trained chuunin, no, even a genin with a good foundation in ninja tools can easily throw out the ninja tools they carry, intercept and destroy them.
There was such an idea growing and bursting out crazily in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart!
But he also knew clearly that he could not do this.
The slow movement is like a bait hiding a fishing hook, waiting for the guy who can't control the restlessness in his heart to take the bait.
Moreover, what if one of these eyes is damaged?
In the pool of blood, there are still three pairs! !
'Snapped. '
Hatake Kakashi raised his hand and firmly caught the soft, yet sticky thing.
He did not check the memory in the ANBU ninja's eyes immediately, but subconsciously looked at the white-haired old man who had become calm.
During this time, complex emotions arose in his heart.
Not argued, not refuted.
The third generation's calmness was natural and seemed to be a silent statement that he was not guilty and that the above was all a false accusation.
However, in the eyes of Hatake Kakashi, this state is the most disappointing attitude.
Let nature take its course and do nothing.
Just like his father who was in the whirlpool of public opinion, he could not get a word of support from that person until his death.
"The dead are great, and the remains of ANBU shinobi should no longer be desecrated."
"Furthermore, the ANBU's training and execution methods are indeed mostly based on quick kills. Such misunderstanding may be due to problems in the delivery of intermediate tasks."
"I also once belonged to ANBU."
After all, Hatake Kakashi did not check the contents of the eye in his hand, but used his own experience to explain such behavior.
There are two reasons for this explanation:
Firstly, it is because the secrets in the eyes of ANBU ninjas should not be read or known by me now;
The second reason is that he is really worried that he will find some memories that will make him lose control of his emotions and cause some irreversible consequences.
After all, Konoha is currently in the midst of a troubled time for the Chunin Joint Examination.
At this moment, Sunagakure Village's unabashed attitude was clearly taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.
For the sake of the overall situation of Konoha, there must be no internal chaos.
"What do you think? Hokage-sama."
Finally, Hatake Kakashi turned the question back to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. If you want to completely end this farce, you can only rely on your own consciousness.
At the same time, there was a faint feeling of discomfort in his heart.
It feels like the eyes, which are the windows to the soul, are shrouded in a haze.
My own Hokage must be hiding some secrets!
Otherwise, he would not have been able to target Uchiha Ara and the Uchiha clan behind him several times.
However, if both parties insist on not telling such a secret, no one will know it.
"There were indeed flaws in my handling of this matter."
"After a thorough investigation, I will give an explanation to the leader of the Huang clan."
He walked down the steps in an extremely official manner, and the explanation in his mouth was probably far away.
"But no matter what the reason was, it is an indisputable fact that Uchiha Izumi's counterattack caused the death of four ANBU ninjas."
"You must be punished!"
He changed the subject and pronounced his verdict righteously.
This is also a last resort, otherwise, not only will he face difficulties, but the ANBU ninjas behind him will not get a comforting response.
Because after all, ANBU is not as completely eradicated of emotions as the roots. If things go on like this, people's hearts will become loose.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen really missed the time when Shimura Danzo was here, and all these dirty work and stigma could be directly shouldered by the other party.
However, he also could not directly ignore Uchiha Ara's attitude.
You know, the Sunagakure Village on the side began to flatter and quarrel with each other outright!
If Izumi Uchiha is forcibly charged at this moment and the former is dissatisfied, then the Sunagakure Village will burst into laughter.
After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is different from Sarutobi Maya, who truly understands Uchiha Ara's strength and possible allies!
If they ignore this clan and push it to Rasa, Konoha will really be besieged on all sides.
"Until the matter is thoroughly investigated and the results are obtained, Uchiha Izumi cannot leave the village in any way."
he pronounced harshly.
But the girl named by him turned a deaf ear to this, and just looked at the boy beside her quietly with her beautiful eyes.
It's obvious that he's following his lead, even if the person who gave the order is the shadow of this village, it doesn't work!
"Then I hope that the Sandaime-sama can conduct a thorough investigation to find out from whom this order came."
"Is it closely related to the Iwagakure ninja infiltration incident three months ago?"
"Of course, if you can't find it out, I can help you, you're welcome."
Aashiro answered.
The buffer at this moment was not only needed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he also needed it.
Because if he ignores this and directly launches a hedging, without Sunagakure and Oto-nin nearby as hidden allies to share a certain amount of pressure, it will inevitably cause great losses to its own power.
Even the subordinates and tribesmen who followed Yu Wei were mentally prepared for possible death.
But precisely because of this, Huang will work hard to restrain and restrain himself to minimize losses!
"That's not a problem for the leader of the Huang clan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and responded with restrained words.
Uchiha Izumi's behavior did not take his identity as Hokage into consideration at all!
Although, the last time he went to the Uchiha clan in person, he had already seen the will of that clan clearly.
But this was the first time that he was indifferent and ignored in front of everyone.
"Today something happened suddenly, which made everyone laugh."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was filled with dissatisfaction, expressed his apologies to the ninjas and jounin from each village who came to compete.
He urgently needs to use such an action to divert his emotions. Otherwise, he doesn't know if if the conversation continues, he will completely break his face and directly start a civil war.
"red beans."
After apologizing, the Sandaime called out to the examiner in charge of the second assessment in a deep voice.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Comparing Ara and the clansmen and companions behind him, Mitarashi Anko's response seemed like the attitude a normal Konoha ninja should have.
"It's getting late, please continue to preside over the Chuunin assessment."
Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered with a calm expression.
But those who are attentive will definitely be able to realize that this respected old man who was in high spirits when he arrived seemed to be a little out of shape.
"yes,"
In response, there was a hint of hesitation and hesitation in Mitarashi Anko's voice.
"But, Hokage-sama..."
And almost in the next second, she resisted the fear from the bottom of her heart and continued to want to say something. After all, this was a matter related to the lives of all those participating in this trial.
Especially after witnessing the four elite team teachers being suppressed and the four well-trained Anbu elites being wiped out at random, such team strength was simply a bug in this trial. As long as they wanted to, they could do it. No team can pass the level!
Even if they are together, the ending may be the same!
When she thought of this, Mitarai Anko became more and more uneasy. She was really afraid that in five days, the corpses in the No. 44 Proving Ground would become a real forest of death! !
Moreover, more than half of the twenty-six teams of contestants came to Konoha;
Moreover, I am the examiner of this second assessment!
"Should the rules be changed so that fights leading to death are not allowed on the field..."
"The team led by the Ara clan leader has completely surpassed the level of genin. What they lack is just a name."
She expressed all the worries in her heart in one breath, and her brown pupils trembled with the most substantive and clear fear.
"I see."
"Indeed, with the current strength of the Huang clan leader, he should not be limited to this assessment."
"However, their participation did not deviate from the rules."
"In addition, this is the Uchiha that the great names and dignitaries of various countries want to see."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually gained control of his emotions and explained the cause of the unexpected incident.
At the same time, when he mentioned Uchiha, he unconsciously increased his voice.
There is quite a feeling of hating iron for not being able to become steel.
After all, under the training of Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke still grew too slowly, far behind his brother Uchiha Itachi!
You know, at the same age, the latter had already become the elite and the mainstay of the ANBU! !
"I have already conveyed this matter to all the forces you belong to."
"Counting the time, many of your leaders already know about it."
On the inside, he shows that Sunagakure Village has nothing to do with him.
The whole thing was undoubtedly started by this so-called alliance.
"The rules of the Chunin Exam cannot be changed."
"As Mr. Makki said, when you choose to become a ninja, you should have been prepared to die generously for your mission and your village at any time."
"This field team trial is probably the first big test in your ninja career."
"If you are afraid of death, you can give up!"
After a brief pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave an impassioned speech.
Such a state and such words did make some of the little guys standing here feel a little excited. After all, the former is the most powerful Konoha Hokage among all the forces! !
But at the same time, some genin began to hold back their joy at the examiner's suggestion, and retreated in their hearts.
That was a team that defeated both Jonin and ANBU with ease!
Rather than dying meaninglessly in vain, they are more convinced that life is precious.
There is no change for the time being, that's because everyone is waiting for someone to take the lead and set this precedent.
In this way, the first person to be embarrassed is not his own force.
"However, the substantive suggestions of the examiner cannot be ignored."
"So under the premise that the rules remain unchanged, the team led by Uchiha Ara this time does not need to participate in the second assessment and will be directly promoted to the third round."
Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final decision.
The rule of not allowing each other to kill each other is too weak. A true elite ninja can use a hundred ways to eliminate the mission target.
What's more, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the No. 44 Proving Ground, and there is no shortage of ways to kill people with borrowed knives and destroy corpses to eliminate traces.
The best result is to isolate this extremely dangerous team.
Of course, this was because he did not want Ara to continue to have private contact with Uzumaki Naruto.
Originally, this consideration was completely unnecessary.
As long as the plan you came up with all night long is perfectly implemented! !
but!
When he thought of this, the hatred in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart became even stronger, all thanks to the so-called ally Sunagakure Village.
Again, this is a wake-up call of its own.
For the other party to be so aggressive and show their favor to the Uchiha clan regardless of the consequences, he must have a huge conspiracy.
And it’s still a plot against Konoha!
The solution from the Sandaime Hokage not only calmed down these worried participating ninjas, but also relieved the leading teacher behind them.
After all, they have already passed the first level of trial and got here. It would be too unwilling and embarrassing if they just retreat in despair.
Especially for the genin team from the Sound Ninja Village, the mission target was missing and the mission was suspended, which made the three of them slowly let go.
Next, it seems inevitable to use Uchiha Sasuke's life as the fundamental way to exchange power with Lord Orochimaru.
But among this group of contestants, there are also voices of dissatisfaction.
"Why?"
A very simple question that contained great dissatisfaction sounded from behind Ma Ji.
Such a voice immediately made him, the leader of the team, tremble.
Obviously, such a voice came from Gaara.
This guy is 'sick' again! !
"Gaara!"
"This is the Hokage-dono's order."
Marki scolded sideways without any hesitation or mercy.
At the same time, his eyes were also signaling Temari on one side to stabilize his brother and stop messing around.
After all, this is a situation that he managed to maintain with great difficulty!
If the Uchiha clan feels hostility, then it will be a waste of money.
"snort."
However, after feeling the joint pressure from the leading teacher and his sister, Gaara still did not show any restraint.
"In the finals, I'll kill you."
Bright and hostile declarations fell indiscriminately.
Such a sound not only made the surrounding contestants look sideways, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that Sunagakure simply wanted to make himself sick at this stall?
After all, such solid hostility could never be faked.
Huang didn't pay attention to these remarks.
Because he knew Gaara's bad character that was almost paranoid.
Instead, Quan's eyes surged with cold light.
Anyone who shows hostility to the former is her enemy!
"Let's go."
Aang didn't even respond and took the lead to turn around and retreat away from the venue. As for the four Anbu corpses that were still lying in silence, do whatever you want.
"I,"
"me too!"
"In the finals, I will definitely let you see my true strength!"
"Let you see the ninja way I uphold!!"
It seemed that Gaara's provocation had made a good start, and another challenge declaration sounded.
"plum!"
"As expected of my student!"
Metkai exclaimed as he felt such unyielding fighting spirit.
He exclaimed for the sake of his students, whose faith was not completely defeated.
But at this moment, Huang stopped and looked sideways.
"oh?"
"Challenge me?"
"So,"
"Just wait until you have the consciousness and strength to open the eighth gate of the Eight Gates of Dunjia before you start talking nonsense."
