August 1, morning, Konoha Arena, lounge.
Akaseki I came relatively late, and the final test is about to begin----
Because it was an open lounge, not a single room, Akaseki noticed Minato at a glance, because----Minato's hairstyle had changed. Originally it was just casual Little Blondie, but now it looked more like a hedgehog, and besides Konoha's Forehead Protector, there were two locks hanging on the temples.
He is no longer wearing a white sweater, but a white shirt and a top that looks like a cape.
"Ah----Minato, your new hairstyle, isn't it just to please girls?" Akaseki deliberately teased.
"That's not true----" Minato scratched his face in embarrassment.
"It's as if Minato didn't like girls before he changed his hairstyle." Ranwu's voice came from behind Akaseki.
Akaseki turned around----
Akaseki:----
Ranwu also changed her look. Originally she only had a little braid of broken hair tied back in her head, but now she has a high ponytail, and she is dressed more smartly than usual.
Okay, okay, you two changed skins without telling me, right?
Not bad----
I changed it too!
Shinnosuke Sarutobi, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, finally got the chance to complain, "Akaseki, why are you here wearing a Chunin vest?"
"? It didn't say that only Chunin can wear it, right?" Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
"That's what I said----" Shinnosuke's mouth twitched.
"Doesn't this seem like I am determined to win? Hahaha----" Akaseki laughed.
Everyone:----
"Speaking of it - it's August, it's so hot today." Akaseki said, picking up Uchiha Gunbai from behind, which was taller than himself, and fanning it awkwardly.
Fugaku on the side was already awkwardly doing eye exercises - squeezing the Jingming point.
"Isn't that right? Ranwu." Akaseki saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he also slapped Ranwu who was right next to him.
Ranwu hesitated to speak, as if he really couldn't speak.
"Don't you know Uchiha Gunbai?" Akaseki couldn't help but ask.
Ranwu:----
"I know, it should be -- it was my uncle who did it, right?" Ranwu has never met her uncle, but she has also heard of Uchiha Gunbai.
"That's right! There are only sixteen in total, Clan Leader gave me one!" Akaseki immediately added.
Well, Akaseki deliberately didn't say anything, but it has already been broken ten times. We ninjas have to keep our mouths shut.
Shibi Aburame on the side looked envious and couldn't help but touch the big gourd behind him----
He also changed into "new equipment", and no one seemed to notice, but----he really couldn't lose face, and took the initiative to lead the conversation like Akaseki!
At this time, the auditoriums around the arena were already full of spectators, most of whom were Konoha local "villagers" - they were said to be "villagers", but they were huge, tens of thousands -
In addition, in some obvious VIP positions, there are also many Land of Fire and even wealthy businessmen from neighboring countries. These are the big customers of Hidden Village.
Of course, sitting on the most conspicuous seat are Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Third Mizukage Yin, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki. At this time, the three "shadows" are all formally wearing feathers and hats symbolizing "shadows".
Behind the three people, there are also "guards" as usual, and in front of them, a row lower, are officials sent by the three major countries.
"Kage" is already the strongest pronoun in the ninja world, but in diplomatic situations, "Kage" will always bring a bodyguard, and this bodyguard often symbolizes "deputy" or "heir".
Just like the three sitting figures, they all served as "guards" for previous generations, or previous generations.
"Since Five Kage Summit, there hasn't been a time when three shadows have gathered together, right?" Yin, who squinted his eyes, said a little older.
Among the three, Yin is the oldest - after all, he was once the second-generation candidate selected by First Mizukage. Later, due to a series of changes, he became the third-generation candidate.
When Five Kage Summit was born, Yin was First Mizukage's guard, and now he is over sixty.
However, Yin's situation may be different this time. Standing behind him is a middle-aged man with brown hair and pink eyes. You can guess from the color of his hair and eyes that he is Karatachi Yagura's father, Karatachi Xuancang!
Konoha now also understands the situation of Kirigakure------
Karatachi Xuancang is definitely not the person Mizukage trusts the most, and even Mizukage is quite resistant to him being his successor. But now the next Mizukage is not something that Yin can decide on his own!
"Yes, it was under the leadership of First Hokage that we were able to convene Five Kage Summit. Now it is the third generation, but we can no longer sit down and talk slowly." Ōnoki said with emotion at this time.
Ōnoki's figure is the funniest among the three figures. He is obviously not yet fifty years old, but because of his short stature, he looks like a little old man and has a big nose.
But no one dares to underestimate this "Two Scales"----
He also inherited the position of the Third Kage from the "Second Generation Kage who died suddenly in battle shortly after taking the throne". However, Iwagakure became increasingly powerful in the hands of Ōnoki, and his skills were especially reflected in diplomatic trade-offs, so he was also called "Two Scales".
The guard behind him was a ninja who was the opposite of his stature, looked tall and strong, wore a hat, covered his face, and rarely wore a battle armor.
It's Ban, not Madara.
Originally, Yin had the intention of relying on his elders and selling them, but in response to this, Ōnoki directly moved out of First Hokage, increasing Konoha's sense of intimacy.
After all, Iwagakure and Kirigakure had a feud. Although they met at Konoha, Ōnoki instinctively pulled Konoha and resisted Hidden Mist Village.
"We Konoha have always believed that Shinobi World can and should be peaceful. This is also the original intention of establishing the Five Hidden Villages." Sarutobi emphasized Konoha's attitude when he opened his mouth.
Among the three figures present, Sarutobi is the youngest. Even Ōnoki is six or seven years older than Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is in the prime of life and is tall and strong, really gives people a sense of vitality and
The feeling of all things competing----
The guard behind Sarutobi is the fair and tender Orochimaru.
Originally, Danzo volunteered to be a guard, and specifically used the excuse "Sarutobi, you are still young, there is no need to consider your successor" as an excuse to become Sarutobi's deputy. However, Sarutobi rejected him and chose his own disciple instead.
Although the youngest, Orochimaru has no stage fright and acted calmly and calmly at this time.
Sarutobi also said "Two Scales" at this time. After all, the conflict between Iwagakure and Hidden Mist Village really has nothing to do with Konoha.
For Konoha, the battle between them took place in the open sea - as we all know, Shinobi World is round. Going out to sea from the western sea area of Land of Earth, you can also contact Land of Water at sea, but the sea distance is farther.
The previous war in which the second generation of shadows from both sides perished took place in the West Sea.
"Of course it would be best if there was peace, but----I'm afraid the trees are quiet but the wind is not stopping, Third Hokage, in Chunin Ninja Exams, there were some accidents before, right? I don't know how Konoha investigated, but what else did Dayin Village do?" Yin directly revealed the matter at this time.
Regarding the previous attacks, Roshi and Akebino were certainly not completely unaware, but they did not know the inside story, and they secretly suspected Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Amegakure.
Fortunately, Iwagakure and Hidden Mist Village suffered no casualties, and Konoha was able to deal with them easily.
"It's just a few petty thieves, it's a pity for three outstanding River Shinobi." Sarutobi said speciously.
After all, when it comes to River Shinobi, now Amegakure is attacking Land of Rivers----
When Ōnoki saw Sarutobi mentioning Land of Rivers, he immediately changed the subject and said, "The format of this final trial is interesting, and the champions happen to be from all three of our families. What do you think, little guys?"
Tsuchikage changed the topic back to Chunin Ninja Exams. After all, if you mention Land of Rain, it will be the matter of Iwagakure and Konoha. Ōnoki does not want Hidden Mist Village to interfere with it.
"They are all outstanding young people. I believe Future will also be the backbone of peace in the Guardian Ninja world." Sarutobi said without missing a beat.
Yin said deliberately at this time, "But the two champions of ----Konoha are both Uchiha Clan. Uchiha Clan is really getting stronger day by day. I don't know if it is good or bad for ----Shinobi World?"
Yin Geng wanted to say, I don't know if it's good or bad for "Wei Ye" - I just think that if I say this, the provocation is too obvious!
"Uchiha Clan is one of the founding families of Konoha, and has always produced talents in large numbers." Sarutobi ignored Yin's provocation.
When it comes to how to deal with "Big Shinobi Clan", Yin Ke has his own experience.
But now it seems that it is just a failure experience!
At the same time, Hatake Sakumo and three other examiners took the stage in person as the host and commentator of the final examination showdown.
When the Three Shadows seemed to be in harmony here, Hatake Sakumo had also completed the opening speech, and it was time to reach the critical link----
"The first challenger will appear next. He is Karatachi Yagura Genin from Kirigakure!"
Following the announcement of Hatake, Karatachi walked up at this time, obviously also wearing "new equipment".
Karatachi Yagura At this time, he was carrying a black stick on his back, with a green flower on the top and a hook on it. It was obviously something special.
On the rostrum of Sanying, Ōnoki turned directly to Karatachi Xuancang and asked, "Karatachi Yagura----is he your son?"
"That's right, it's Beloved Son." Karatachi Xuancang bowed slightly and said.
"I actually handed over Coral Staff to him. Karatachi Jonin is really eager." Yin said with emotion at this time.
Hearing this, Sarutobi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him - this old guy really didn't conceal Kirigakure's internal conflicts, so he was "choking" with his own guard?
"Lord Hokage is right, Future belongs to young people!" Karatachi Xuancang did not accept the move.
--
"Now please challenge Karatachi Genin to the ring. If there are multiple challenges, the ring leader will decide the order." Hatake announced.
Minato I immediately wanted to go up at this time, but——
"I'll do it first!" Shinnosuke spoke first.
Seeing this, Minato stopped and stopped.
