Pakura Makes Her Decision

Sunagakure)

Meeting Room the Kazekage's office building, some agreement was eventually reached, and Enma left with the Fourth Kazekage's scroll.

At the same time, this secret was classified as top secret, and even the hero of Sunagakure, Scorching Release Pakura, did not reveal it.

No matter how great they may be, the power structure of most ninja villages in the Shinobi World is already fixed.

Rasa, who inherited the Sand Release technique of the Third Kazekage, became the Fourth Kazekage. And the son of the Kazekage is also the Kazekage!

Pakura was born a commoner, and her powerful appearance caused chaos everywhere. The pie of profit was already so small, and everyone who had already divided it up still felt it wasn't enough, yet you still wanted to interfere.

How could that be!

Pakura was nothing special as an ordinary Jōnin, but once she crossed that line and started to become uncontrollable, things changed.

The Sunagakure's resources could no longer be shared, so Pakura was abandoned.

Even though she returned, the thorn had already been planted, and even though Pakura pretended not to know anything for the sake of her beloved village.

Amidst the swirling sandstorm, a top-secret agreement was reached at the Hokage's Office Building.

Pakura, who had just returned from her mission to Konoha, walked wearily towards her home.

Along the way, the ninjas from Sunagakure all tried to avoid this legendary flower of wind, sand, and fire.

One was overwhelming power, the other was the rumors circulating in the village.

In Sunagakure, a dark and cruel legend about Pakura began to circulate at some unknown time.

Rumors abound that Pakura enjoys roasting her enemies into jerky and then perversely admiring her masterpieces.

In recent years, Pakura's power has not only failed to expand, but has actually shrunk considerably. Only some commoner ninjas regard Pakura as a hero of Sunagakure, and also as a hero who rose from humble beginnings among ordinary ninjas.

"Creak!"

After closing the house, Pakura shed his pretense in front of outsiders. At this moment, he looked at the hurried pedestrians outside the village, a cold glint in his eyes.

"A decaying village! A village stagnant like a pool of dead water, how long has it been since any fresh blood was added? No! It should be said that this decaying village no longer allows any fresh blood to be added."

Pakura muttered to himself, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Over the years, she endured the abandonment and betrayal she suffered for the sake of the village. It wasn't that she had forgotten her hatred, but rather that her love for the village had suppressed it.

But there have been many changes over the years, as well as the changes that have occurred since the merger of Konoha and Mist Ninja.

"Perhaps you are right. What this decaying ninja village and world needs is the appearance of a god to redefine it."

Pakura slowly took out the red-covered book from the table, which he had read countless times, and a complex emotion involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

"For the sake of Sunagakure, not for the sake of you corrupt high-ranking officials, I want to change Sunagakure. Sunagakure cannot be without a future."

Just then, a green chameleon slowly appeared in front of the table.

Seeing this, Pakura couldn't help but show curiosity. "Did you find anything?"

Looking at the Summoning Beast, Pakura couldn't help but show a hint of tenderness. At least she could believe that person's promise, and besides, this Summoning Beast was a gift from that person himself.

The chameleon lizard slowly spoke in human language, "Because of the barrier, I could only hide outside it. However, I discovered a Summoning Beast in the Meeting Room. This is what the Summoning Beast looks like."

The chameleon lizard gestured as it approached the table, eventually revealing itself as a Summoning Beast resembling an ape dressed in tiger skin.

"Enma!"

Pakura suddenly realized what was happening and blurted out the name of the Summoning Beast in shock. After all, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was so famous that information about the Kage of various ninja villages would circulate throughout the Shinobi World.

It can be said that those who can become the Kage of the five major villages all possess formidable strength. Although their intelligence has been almost completely leaked, their exceptional strength still makes them a force to be reckoned with.

"The Enma has come to the village, and he's even plotting with the villagers!"

Pakura instantly sensed a conspiracy, and her eyes narrowed.

"Go back and keep watch, but remember to be careful."

"Yes, Pakura."

The chameleon lizard was Summoning Beast that Uchiha Yoru obtained from Pain.

The Summoning Beast's invisibility ability is clearly described in the anime; after becoming invisible, even Jiraiya can only rely on Sensory Ninjutsu.

This demonstrates just how powerful this Summoning Beast's talent for invisibility is; it's in no way inferior to Gekko Hayate's Transparent Escape.

Konoha.

"Sasuke, what your teacher taught you is enough for you to digest. I haven't taught you much, so apart from regular missions, I won't offer any advice on how you train."

Inside the woods, Hatake Kakashi spoke casually, Sasuke Uchiha nodded respectfully, saying, "Understood, Kakashi-sensei."

Although Sasuke Uchiha did not experience the massacre of his clan in this life, was proud, he was also more obedient and docile.

Moreover, he has known Kakashi for many years and naturally knows that his teacher's strength cannot be fooled by his lazy appearance.

"And you, Naruto Uzumaki."

Hatake Kakashi turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki, sighing with a look of utter frustration.

"Although you have been instructed by Lord Jiraiya in your training, I feel it is my responsibility to help you develop a training plan during this period Lord Jiraiya is not around."

"And you, Sakura Haruno, right now you're just a drag on the team."

Kakashi's blunt tone immediately made Sakura Haruno look embarrassed. She knew she was bad, but it was really awkward to say it in front of so many people.

"Kakashi-sensei, I believe in Sakura."

Naruto Uzumaki, patted his chest and laughed heartily. This sunny smile, however, momentarily stirred a sense of melancholy in Kakashi.

If only we didn't have that foolish, prejudiced idea.

"Alright, Sakura, the training path I've set for you is to learn Medical Ninjutsu and become a support member of the team."

Seeing that Naruto was about to argue, Hatake Kakashi immediately stopped him.

"Sasuke comes from Noble Houses and received training from the Uchiha Clan Lord Yoru. You, Naruto Uzumaki, also come from an extraordinary background. Your mother has the Uzumaki bloodline, and your father is the Fourth Hokage. And Sakura?"

"What does Sakura have?" That one sentence shut Naruto down before he could even begin to argue.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sakura hasn't trained with any of you guys over the years, so there's no time to catch up, not to mention talent."

"So, Sakura, I've assigned you a support role in the team. Would you be willing to learn Medical Ninjutsu? If so, I'll give you a letter of introduction so you can go to the Medical Department for systematic training."

It was only then that Sakura Haruno realized with astonishment that she seemed to be the only one in the group who had nothing. She had arrogantly thought she was a princess, only to find out that she was just an ordinary person.

Neither of her parents could support her, so Sakura forced a smile and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your help Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura isn't stupid; she knows her own identity, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten full marks in the theoretical courses.

Looking at the obedient and sensible Sakura, Hatake Kakashi smiled with satisfaction, but when he turned to see Naruto Uzumaki, he felt a headache coming on.

This time, he deliberately kept Naruto behind, which, to put it bluntly, was because he wanted to see if he could change Naruto's obsessive thinking through his own efforts.

Although he knew the chances were slim—after all, Lord Jiraiya had tried for so many years—people just can't give up.

Dismissed!

It's clear that Kakashi was only taking a "whatever happens, happens" attitude, and didn't say he was particularly determined.

Training Ground 44.

The Genin of Team 3, led by Might Guy, were undergoing rigorous training.

"Neji, you may be a genius, but I must tell you that next year's Chunin Ninja Exams will gather all the geniuses. You should understand what a true genius looks like, as Lord Yoru described."

Neji Hyuga, sweating profusely and panting heavily, immediately became serious upon hearing his teacher's words.

He had seen true geniuses, such as Yuki Haku, Karin Uzumaki, and that terrifying boy who used bones.

"Genius! Isn't Neji's talent the strongest?"

Rock Lee, who was training hard on the wooden stake, couldn't help but be shocked and looked at his teacher, Might Guy, standing to the side.

Might Guy, dressed somewhat comically in green, solemnly gave a thumbs-up and revealed a determined smile.

"I won't talk about the geniuses of the God of Night; I'll just tell you about my lifelong rival, the genius Hatake Kakashi."

"He graduated from the Genin Academy at the age of five, making him the youngest Genin Konoha history. He became Chunin at six and Jōnin at twelve, and even created his own A-Rank Ninjutsu."

Hatake Kakashi's brilliant record of genius is still astonishing even when heard again.

A twelve-year-old Jōnin! He even created his own A-Rank Ninjutsu, while they? They seem to still Genin. Even though they believe they have strength comparable to Chunin, the fact that Jōnin and have created their own A-Rank Ninjutsu is almost suffocating for them.

"Might Guy!"

Just then, Zabuza Momochi appeared on the Training Ground, and Might Guy smiled excitedly upon seeing him.

"Yo ho! It's Zabuza! Now let's have our thirty-seventh duel!"

The moment they met, they saw Might Guy in his green bodysuit, his familiar watermelon-headed smile revealing his teeth, and his signature moves.

This scene caused Zabuza Momochi's eye to twitch. Suppressing his embarrassment, he forced a smile and said, "Kai, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Good heavens, Zabuza Momochi actually needs someone's help. Even the thick-skinned Might Guy showed a look of surprise.

Zabuza Momochi pulled a green quest scroll from his robes and said awkwardly, "I have a B-rank mission here that requires me to stay in the Land of Rice Fields for six months, so..."

Although Might Guy was thick-skinned, he wasn't stupid, and he immediately smiled.

"Oh, it seems Zabuza is preparing to train disciples."

Zabuza awkwardly, "I have a bet with Kakashi for next year's Chunin Ninja Exams, based on our rankings."

Upon hearing the bet, Might Guy instantly became excited and shouted, "Yoohoo! I want to join this bet too!"

After the two chatted for a while, Might Guy excitedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, my disciple Rock Lee will definitely surprise you next year."

As he said this, Might Guy glanced at Rock Lee, who was training hard in the Training Ground, a boy who looked almost exactly like him.

A surge of excitement welled up in Might Guy's eyes.

The Leading Jonin is merely a teacher, essentially an instructor, while the disciple is the master and student.

"Zabuza, is your disciple in the Land of Rice Fields?"

Might Guy curiously voiced his doubts, and Zabuza and sigh helplessly after hearing them.

"They're from the Hozuki Clan. They joined the Otogakure because of Lord Orochimaru's research."

Might Guy couldn't Zabuza smile. Zabuza had gone to Otogakure specifically for his disciple's sake; that was truly rare.

Although Zabuza's excuse was to win a bet against Kakashi, it was clear that he had developed feelings for him.

"Wow, this is youth."

Might Guy shouted excitedly, Zabuza to the side, was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The ninjas of Konoha and Mist Ninja are all working with great enthusiasm for next year's Chunin Exams, the largest Chunin Ninja Exams the Shinobi World.

Especially among the Genin who want to make a name for themselves, there are also some Jōnin secretly vying for power.

For the Konoha Genin, this was practically a feast. The Jōnin and Chunin who usually led the teams all looked lazy, and even those in charge didn't take it too seriously.

But this time was different. Almost everyone started training their subordinates with all their might, and the passing on of knowledge between masters and apprentices began to take effect.

These Jonin and Chunin Leading Jonin don't care about getting the best rankings; they just want to get a decent ranking so they can save face.

However, the announcement from the Hokage's Office Building instantly ignited the entire Konoha and the Mist Ninja. For a moment, the village's Genin stared blankly at their instructor, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

A notice from the Hokage's Office Building announced that those who perform exceptionally well in Chunin Ninja Exams will be rewarded with B-Rank Ninjutsu as a bonus for Leading Jonin.

All those who passed the Chunin Ninja Exams and became Chunin will be gathered together for three months of intensive training.

The people in charge of this special training were Hatake Kakashi Uchiha Shisui.

Meanwhile, there are also four Kage Level powerhouses among the special training instructors, each of whom will undergo three days of special training in the final twelve days.

These four Kage Level powerhouses are Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, the Fifth Mizukage, Orochimaru Mei Terumi.

This news instantly ignited the passion of both Konoha and Mist Ninja, the two major ninja villages.

Looking at the bustling village from inside the office building, Uchiha Yoru smiled with satisfaction.

"Mei, Tsunade, after this, the village will select talented and loyal Jōnin. After the Chunin Ninja Exams, this will not only be a feast for the Genin, but also a feast for the Jōnin."

Sitting in a chair, Uchiha Yoru was holding up a huge vertical scroll, with the four characters "Scroll of Seals" clearly visible.

Seeing this Mei Terumi couldn't help but sigh, "Yoru, you really have the heart to do this."

Tsunade scoffed, saying casually, "What an ambitious man."

In recent years, Uchiha Yoru has been generous to Jōnin from Mist Ninja and Konoha who are talented and loyal.

S-Rank Ninjutsu is not something an ordinary Jōnin can learn, but as long as you have the talent, he will give you the opportunity.

The A-Rank Ninjutsu was a generous reward, Jōnin his command an extra trump card.

Compared to his past reluctance to part with these powerful Ninjutsu, Uchiha Yoru was even more disdainful, merely fearing he wouldn't be able to control the behavior of the weak.
