Konoha Thirty-two years is destined to be remembered by Shinobi World.
In September of this year, Konoha defeated Hidden Sand Village at Land of Rivers, and captured Third Kazekage, taking the lead in ending the war.
Immediately afterwards, after Third Kazekage returned, he formed a coalition of sand and rock forces to curb Hidden Cloud Village's military operations and isolate it within Land of Waterfall.
Later, as news of Third Mizukage's visit to Mu leaked, and Konoha quickly restored prosperity with unprecedented vitality, under these pressures, Yan and Yun quickly negotiated peace talks, ending the state of war.
So far, the vigorous Second Great Ninja War has finally come to an end.
With the arrival of the new year, Uchiha Chen looked at the heavy snow in the sky and couldn't help but sigh, "Konoha It's been thirty-three years..."
Thinking about the scene when he first traveled to this world, thirteen years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Because it has been too long, many things in his past life have been forgotten, but there are still some things that he keeps in mind and cannot tell anyone.
This is why he has always felt alienated from the world.
However, time is a good medicine after all and can eliminate everything, but this process is extremely long and painful.
Jiraiya, who was walking aside, looked at Uchiha Chen for a long time and suddenly said, "Orochimaru said that sometimes you don't look like a young man, but like an old man in your twilight years."
"Sure enough, what he said is absolutely right. I don't know where a young man like you comes from so much melancholy!"
"Really? Why don't I feel it?" Uchiha Chen took out a small mirror from Ninja Pouch, adjusted his hair style, and then said, "He is still as handsome as ever. He deserves to be in the prime of his life, without any flaws."
"..."
Jiraiya made a vomiting gesture, and then asked curiously, "You were counting the years just now, what were you sighing for?"
Uchiha Chen was silent for a long time and said with a smile, "I'm wondering... how long this Shinobi World can maintain peace."
Jiraiya shook his head. "How could we fight so quickly just after the war? First Great Ninja War After that, there was peace for more than ten years."
Uchiha Chen retorted, "At that time, the entire Shinobi World was shattered, which was different from now. Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about the two villages of Yanyun. Although the ceasefire was so fast, Hidden Cloud Village did not receive the desired results. Hidden Stone Village was also very upset about Cloud's sneak attack.
Under such circumstances, peace cannot be maintained for long. "
Although Jiraiya felt it was reasonable, he still managed to say, "We have been fighting for several years and everyone is tired of it, so it will definitely not be what you said."
Uchiha Chen shrugged. "Who knows."
After finishing speaking, they continued walking side by side towards Hokage Building.
Today, Jonin Meeting will be held. Uchiha Chen and Jiraiya happened to meet at the intersection, so they went together.
Just when Hokage Building was about to arrive, Jiraiya suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I'm inspired, I'm going to write you into my novel!"
Uchiha Chen's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Is he the protagonist?"
Jiraiya curled his lips and said, "How can you be the protagonist? The protagonist is a handsome and extraordinary type like me."
"Oh, it turns out to be a useless novel."
Jiraiya: "..."
He has such a venomous mouth. If it is not illegal to kill a ninja from the same village, he must let the brat in front of him know why the flowers are so red today.
Uchiha Chen didn't pay attention to Jiraiya's eyes, but asked casually, "Have you finished writing the book "Tale of the Gutsy Ninja"? You said you would start writing it half a year ago."
Jiraiya smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I will officially start writing in the second half of this year. I will use the artistic image of the protagonist Naruto to work hard to create a positive image. Wenren will blossom and promote Will of Fire. Then you will have to support me..."
"..."
"By the way," Jiraiya suddenly hugged Uchiha Chen's shoulders and said with a smile, "My book will definitely become popular in the future. How about you consider letting your son be called 'Naruto'?"
"..."
"Hey, don't look like that, think about it, Uchiha Clan Naruto, how nice it sounds!"
Jiraiya recommends it so strongly, so naturally he has his own ideas. The previous few books have been dumped on the street, but this book says that you should not follow the old path.
As long as Uchiha Chen agrees, when he publishes the novel, he will write in the recommendation: a novel that Konoha Lightning has liked after reading it, and expressed that he hopes his son will be called "Naruto"!
In terminology, this is called the celebrity effect. Now Uchiha Chen's popularity has reached a terrifying level, and Konoha's fan base is even more fanatical. Jiraiya believes that with such a recommendation, this book will become popular even if it is not popular.
He made a good calculation, but Uchiha Chen shook his head firmly. "Impossible! I will not give my son the name you thought of when eating ramen."
Don't be ridiculous, is this kind of protagonist's name something ordinary people can bear?
Take a look at the short life of Naruto:
Both parents died,
The master died tragically,
Another teacher died and came back to life,
Senior brother and senior sister died tragically,
My wife's cousin died tragically.
My good gay friend always wanted to hack himself to death during his second year in middle school.
The tragedy of first love,
My future wife was stabbed in front of me...
To be honest, the tragedy of Naruto's life began with this name.
Jiraiya was a little disappointed and continued to persuade, "Think about it again..."
"You can ask Minato, maybe he is willing."
"That's my apprentice..."
Uchiha Chen said angrily, "So you are trying to trick me in other ways?!"
There was no way to continue the conversation at this point. There was no way he would let his son be called this name anyway.
Finally, the helpless Jiraiya was going to find Sakumo to give it a try. If it still didn't work, he would go to his wife Biwako, who had just become pregnant with their second child, to give her a try.
Asuma, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is not a long-lived name. Naruto is not as loud and elegant as Naruto...
In order to prevent Jiraiya from continuing to pester him, Uchiha Chen did not sit with him when Jonin Meeting was there.
This approach obviously made Jiraiya dissatisfied, so his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Uchiha Chen.
However, Uchiha Chen ignored him and hurriedly caught up on his sleep.
There is no surprise at all, this is another extremely long and boring Jonin Meeting.
Uchiha Chen has been prepared for this and is accustomed to it.
Although he is not very old, he has been in the system for several years and has become more and more comfortable, like a veteran.
At the end of the meeting, the precise biological clock woke him up. At this time, Third Hokage had just reached the point.
——Things about Chunin Exams.
Third Hokage coughed twice, drank a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then said, "I mentioned this to you two months ago. I believe you have been preparing for this Chunin Exams for a long time.
It was originally planned to only invite several small villages around Hidden Sand Village, Hidden Stone Village and Land of Fire.
But later, Third Mizukage told me about it and planned to send ninjas to participate.
Also some time ago, when the war between Yun and Yan villages ended, Third Raikage sent a letter saying that they were also interested.
Very good. I was very happy when I received the letter. The other four major countries gathered at Konoha. This is an affirmation of our strength and shows that they are still afraid of Konoha! "
Third Hokage's voice was cadenced and extremely excited.
But it's no wonder he is like this. Usually Chunin Exams is held in his own village, or several villages are invited to jointly hold it.
But like this time, the Chunin Exams gathering of Five Great Nations has not happened for many years.
This marks that Konoha has once again stabilized the situation of one super player and many strong players.
Third Hokage paused and continued, "With such a grand occasion, all the elites from each village must be present. As the host, Konoha faces many challenges.
Therefore, when submitting the list of Chunin Exams, I hope that all Jonin can think carefully and don't do it perfunctorily! "
Third Hokage glanced below, and then continued, "Then let's start from Team One."
As the youngest Jonin, Uchiha Chen stood up without changing his expression and said, "Konoha Jonin Uchiha Chen, submit the Chunin Exams list of people, Senju Nawaki, Uchiha Mikoto, Minato Namikaze."
Although Minato is a disciple of Jiraiya, he has been transferred to Team One a long time ago, so Uchiha Chen should declare Squad Leader Jonin.
This is the same as Team Seven in the future. Although Naruto is a disciple of Jiraiya, if he wants to apply for Chunin Exams, Kakashi will apply.
"Okay, next one."
"Konoha Jonin Kato Dan, submit Chunin Exams list, list personnel, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza." (Shikaku was promoted to Chunin during the war, see Chapter 112 for details.)
The list was about to be read, and at the last moment, Tsunade woke up from his sleep.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Chen broke into cold sweat. Tsunade was still so vigorous. At the same time, he was also very curious about Team Two's reporting list.
You should know that Chunin Exams is based on three people. If it is not enough, form a team with others.
Team Two Except for Kushina, the other two people had already been assigned to other teams during the war, so there must not be enough people.
He had asked Kushina about his teammates before, but Little Fox kept him away with secrets.
Now, it's finally revealed...
"Konoha Jonin Tsunade, submit Chunin Exams list, list personnel, Uzumaki Kushina, Yakushi Nonoyu, Might Duy."
"..."
This lineup is truly domineering!
