Kirigakure.

"Oh? Konoha had sent out invitations for the Chunin Exams?"

From the Mizukage's seat, a figure concealed in darkness spoke indifferently.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

Hearing that voice, the Kirigakure ninja shuddered all over, his respectful tone thick with fear.

"Then go. See what tricks Konoha was trying to pull."

Yagura, hidden in the darkness, raised his head. A scarlet glint flashed through his eyes before vanishing.

Kumogakure.

"What? Konoha had invited Kumogakure to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

The Third Raikage, a burly man, burst into laughter.

"Lord Raikage, were we going?"

A Cloud Ninja dressed as a jonin asked.

"We're going. Why wouldn't we? Let those weaklings in Konoha see how formidable our Cloud Ninja are."

The Third Raikage slapped the table as he spoke.

As for Iwagakure and Sunagakure, they did not accept Konoha's invitation due to certain matters.

Thus, Konoha received its responses.

Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, three villages would participate in these Chunin Exams: Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha Village.

The rest were smaller ninja villages from the surrounding regions, such as Kusagakure and Amegakure...

Meanwhile, Konoha also began making preparations for the upcoming Chunin Exams.

Before long, Yuu's graduation application was approved.

After all, the Third Hokage had personally given the order, and everyone knew how strong Yuu was.

Thus, Yuu graduated without a hitch.

Next came the routine procedures: taking photos, registering, receiving his forehead protector, and so on.

At last, Yuu had become a proud... genin.

"Yuu, this forehead protector really suits you."

Rin looked at Yuu as he emerged from the Hokage's office building wearing a Konoha forehead protector, practically bursting with excitement.

"Yuu-kun, I-I heard from my father that ninja from other villages would also be participating in these Chunin Exams."

Beside them, Kurenai bit her red lip, her pretty face filled with worry.

"Don't worry. I'll definitely chop them all down."

Yuu patted his chest, his eyes gleaming.

In Yuu's eyes, those ninja from other villages were already bottles upon bottles of fine liquor.

As long as he chopped them all down, that would be an entire room full of good booze.

Hokage's Office.

"You gave Yuu everything I told you to give him, right?"

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Yuu's departing back as he left the Hokage's office building and asked.

"Yes, Lord Hokage. I handed it to him personally."

Tanaka Shuichi replied with certainty.

"That's good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a sigh of relief.
