Chiyo, Hanzō, Ōnoki... young powerhouses gathered together

[Welcome to Konoha for the Sunagakure exam candidates!]

At the main entrance of the village, a banner symbolizing the friendship between the two villages was hung up.

Although in the eyes of many people it is no different from a joke.

But that's how the world is; knowing the truth is one thing, but how to actually do it is another.

"Ugh, so boring~" Yuto sighed repeatedly, resting his chin on his hands. "So, why did we even take on this job as greeters?"

"It's all because you're meddling." Eri blinked, but didn't say those words aloud.

In recent days, candidates from various villages have been arriving one after another, including some outstanding individuals who have made a name for themselves at a young age.

Some restless Yuto wanted to visit the site in person, and Kyosuke, upon hearing the news, immediately assigned the task of welcoming the foreign guests to the three little ones.

As Konoha's top contenders and disciples of the Hokage, there were no more suitable people to host them.

"That wretched old man." Yuto, on the verge of tears, picked up his pen and paper and began to record the list of people from other villages.

There's no need to elaborate on just how powerful Konoha is now.

Come to Konoha? Sure, but you must abide by our rules.

Whether you are an unknown nobody or a renowned expert, you must register your name at the main entrance.

Those who disrespect the law will be expelled from the village at best, arrested on the spot at worst, or even killed on the spot.

Two days ago, some village ninjas refused to believe in evil spirits, and their corpses are still hanging on the branches of a tree in front of the main gate.

Anyone passing by from another village was terrified.

"Name."

"Ebizo."

"Gender."

"Probably a man."

What are you here for?

"Participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams."

Um... looking at the extremely mature-looking "young man" in front of him, Yuto was a little dumbfounded.

To be able to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams in the same year one graduates from the Ninja Academy is something even the Konoha 12 from the original story would find difficult to achieve, let alone other ordinary individuals.

Therefore, the ages of the contestants varied greatly, and many looked about the same age as his father.

But... are you sure you're not 40 years old this year?!

The person standing in front of the registration desk was Ebizo from Sunagakure.

Despite his mature appearance, he is actually about the same age as Yuto, only one year older than him and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just as Yuto hesitated, a woman suddenly walked up to him. "You're Uchiha Yuto, the Hokage's son?"

Upon hearing the last few words, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes sharpened.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing."

With one hand propped on the table, the woman leaned closer, her gaze fixed on him, and said, "I was just saying hello. What, the Hokage's son isn't that timid, is he?"

The girl kept referring to him as the Hokage's son, clearly implying that he could only act recklessly by relying on his father's fame.

Yuto was naturally unwilling to tolerate this; he was not one to swallow his pride.

"Hey, ugly woman!" Before he could retort, a little girl suddenly appeared beside him.

The little girl had her Ponytail, and her chubby cheeks were incredibly cute.

The visitor was none other than Uchiha Nagisa had just celebrated his eighth birthday.

She put her hands on her hips, glared fiercely at the woman, and said, "Let me tell you, don't go looking for trouble, or... well, my brother definitely won't let you get away with it."

The Little Cutie wanted to threaten the other woman herself, but seeing how fierce she looked, she became a little timid before she could even utter a word.

Anyway, with my older brother around, he'll definitely protect me.

Don't be afraid!

"Brother?" the woman in white said, somewhat realizing something. "So, you're the Hokage's daughter."

"Heh, the child of the God of Shinobi doesn't seem like much..."

Bang!

The roster used for recording information and the table placed at the village entrance both shattered. Uchiha Yuto stood up, his clothes fluttering without wind, his eyes filled with a terrifying killing intent that would frighten any woman.

"Watch your mouth." Activating his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to die right now, you'd better shut your stinking mouth."

The woman in white was none other than Ebizo sister, the future Daimyō Chiyo of Sunagakure.

However, Yuto didn't care who the other person was. Anyone who dared to speak ill of his sister in front of him would be killed on the spot in public.

Damn it, the Joint Chunin Exams pushed him to the limit, so he asked Maya to dispatch legion ninjas to kill all the visitors from Sunagakure.

"Sister!" Ebizo stopped Chiyo from retorting and gestured towards the distance.

Chiyo looked up and found herself staring at several pairs of indifferent eyes.

In an instant, her surroundings changed, and the scenes that terrified her most surfaced one by one.

"Ah!!!" With a terrified scream, Chiyo, who had just been spouting arrogant words, collapsed to the ground unconscious in a disheveled state.

"You bastard." An Uchiha Family ninja sneered, deactivated his Sharingan as if nothing had happened, and strolled away.

Not far away, several Senju Clan ninjas looked at each other, unsure whether they should step forward to arrest this person.

The Lord Hokage issued a strict order that ninjas from other villages should not be harassed without permission, and those who violate this order will be severely punished.

"Are you stupid? That brat dared to speak disrespectfully to the Lord Hokage's child. Maybe... maybe he's plotting to overthrow Konoha."

"... That makes sense."

"Right, let's just pretend we didn't see it."

With that, the Police Department officers strolled away.

As for the visitors from Sunagakure, what good is their anger? Would they dare to lay a hand on Yuto and Nagisa?

The answer, of course, is no. These people didn't dare utter a single word, hastily completed the registration, and hurriedly left.

"Hehe." Completely unaware of the trouble he had caused, Nagisa grinned smugly.

She wasn't upset because Chiyo been humiliated, but because she enjoyed seeing her brother stand up for her.

"Aren't you done yet?"

That's strange.

"How about we go get some ramen later?"

"... Did you run out of pocket money again?"

"Hehe, my brother understands me best."

With a helpless wry smile, Yuto took out his wallet and, without thinking, stuffed it into his sister's hand.

"Let's go out for a meal with some classmates. My brother has Team Training later."

Okay~

His younger sister skipped away, and Yuto sat back down in his chair, his eyes lowered, making it difficult for outsiders to discern his inner thoughts.

"Sunagakure..."

When registering, my father had mentioned, almost casually, that the opponent we faced this time was someone we might meet on the battlefield in the future.

Kyosuke didn't say anything more explicitly, but as his son, Yuto could easily understand his father's meaning.

Rather than let them meet on the battlefield in the future, let them remain here forever.

"I want to register." As she pondered, a boy who looked to be about a year old walked over. He seemed unaffected by the previous farce.

For that courage alone, Yuto should seriously examine the other party.

A master with many lives on his hands... that was the first thought that crossed his mind.

"Name."

"Ibuse".

"Where did you come from?"

"Amegakure"

Amegakure? Yuto squinted, and it took him a lot of effort to remember that Hidden Village had indeed been established in the Land of Rain not long ago.

Unexpectedly, a Hidden Village destined to remain unknown would produce a powerful figure who would make even them wary.

Most importantly, the other person is about the same age as me.

"Father was right after all. The Shinobi World is full of hidden talents. Who knows when a terrifying enemy might suddenly appear?"

First came the hot-tempered Chiyo, then a powerful figure named Ibuse Salamander appeared.

He was looking forward to seeing what kind of characters would appear next.

Soon, the resettlement work in Sunagakure was completed, and the slogan at the main entrance was changed to...

[Welcome to Iwagakure, candidates from Konoha!]

"Name."

"Ōnoki."

"Age."

18.

Looking at the young man with a large nose, slowly floating in the air, Yuto took a deep breath, unwilling to admit that he envied him.

"What's so great about it? Once I can unlock the Perfect Susanoo, I can fly however I want."

Not far away, Kurama Jun's gaze was fixed on the big-nosed youth, knowing that this person was most likely the strongest young man in Iwagakure in the current generation.

"Just as Father predicted, each village now needs to establish its prestige within the Shinobi World."

"Whoever tops the Chunin Ninja Exams will see a surge in commissioned missions."

"When it comes to matters of great economic importance, villages will never hesitate to send out talented individuals."

As for whether there will be casualties, it can only be said that the influence of the Warring States Period has not yet completely faded.

Without any external intervention, he died at the hands of ninjas of the same age; it's only because they weren't skilled enough, and that's that.

They were all young geniuses selected by the village, and each of them was full of confidence, not believing that anyone could be their match.

Everyone is the same in this respect; didn't Kyosuke also demand that all the other contestants be expelled before the Finals?

But now it seems that the difficulty is indeed a bit too high.

[Welcome to Kirigakure, candidates from Konoha!]

Welcome to Kumogakure, candidates from Konoha!

Before long, the members of the last two Hidden Village took their places.

On the Kirigakure side, they dispatched several young powerhouses with Kekkei Genkai, such as ninjas from the Family like Hōzuki and Kaguya.

As for Cloud, which has the worst relationship with Konoha, they simply dispatched their full-strength lineup.

He is a young man who will succeed the title of "A" and is destined to become the Third Raikage.

He obtained the new Two-Tails Jinchūriki through a trade with Konoha, acquiring the perfect Sealing Jutsu.

When the Perception Class issued a warning that the Cloud Village had sent Jinchuriki to participate in the competition, everyone who heard the news was stunned.

Have Cloud Village members lost their minds, or have they gone mad with the desire to win?!

The others were puzzled, but Kyosuke, upon hearing the news, wasn't particularly surprised.

In the Chunin Ninja Exams of Konoha 60, Sunagakure was able to send out the One-Tail Jinchuriki, so why can't Cloud let the Two-Tails Jinchūriki show off?

"Is a victory really necessary to vindicate the village?"

"I'm sorry, you may be disappointed."
