After Akaseki returned to the clan, he was immediately summoned by Clan Leader...
"Huh? I heard that your eyes were injured?" Jiancheng looked at Akaseki's intact eyes with a little surprise.
"Lady Tsunade helped me treat it, and everything is fine." Akaseki nodded.
Jiancheng nodded with a sigh of relief, but then he thought of "Tsunade", and he instinctively rejected it and said, "Well, Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu is really smart, after all...Medical Ninja, the more people she kills, the smarter Medical Ninjutsu is. She has treated many people to death!"
Akaseki:...
Akaseki feels that this logic does not make sense, but since it was said by Clan Leader, the old Uchiha Clan, it is not surprising.
"Remember to protect your eyes when fighting!" Jiancheng warned.
"Yes." Akaseki also responded.
"What's the situation with Land of Waves? Did you encounter any changes during this mission?" Jiancheng asked.
This is also the main reason why he called Akaseki.
Of course, Akaseki did not hide this.
Originally Lord Hokage didn't mention confidentiality...
Even if I mention it, Akaseki will now "quietly" tell Clan Leader.
"Have you expanded your influence at sea... but just to Land of Waves? There are not many islands here." Jiancheng said, shaking his head disdainfully, as if he was mocking the third generation for only doing face-saving projects.
However, he did not say it directly in front of Akaseki.
"Well, you go and have a rest, and remember to copy the ninjutsu soon." Jiancheng said.
"Yes." Akaseki responded.
"Akaseki." Lanyu stopped him at this time and immediately warned, "There is still one and a half months until Chunin Ninja Exams. It should be very lively by then, so be prepared."
Akaseki was a little surprised when he heard this, but he couldn't think of the reason.
Ordinarily, Uchiha Clan doesn't pay much attention to Chunin Ninja Exams. Is there anything special this time? He also specifically emphasized that it will be "lively"?
Since it was unexpected, Akaseki didn't think much about it and just went home to have a good rest.
This trip was not only tiring, but also injured. The physical fatigue had recovered, but the mental fatigue was still there. Akaseki didn't even say "Immersion", but just slept for the whole day.
The next day, Minato invited everyone to eat Ramen, and Akaseki condescended to attend the appointment.
When we arrived at the Ramen store, Akaseki discovered that "Ino-Shika-Cho" was also there.
"Hey, Akaseki, your eyes are healed now?" Nara greeted him.
"Well, Lady Tsunade's medical skills are superb." Akaseki said.
"Do you Uchiha Clan also eat such common things as Ramen?" Akimichi Clan asked curiously.
Yamanaka on the side quietly elbowed him - I couldn't say such a thing even if I was deliberately provoking him!
"I'm here to accompany you!" Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
Minato, Nara, Yamanaka:...
How about you two just have a fight?
"Eh? You're quite a nice person." Akimichi Clan looked at Akaseki in surprise.
"Then take a look!"
"Well, a partner is someone who can sit down and eat together... but you can't take the last piece of barbecued pork from my bowl."
Minato, Nara, Yamanaka:...
So how do these two people communicate so naturally? They seem to get along so well?
At this time, Ranwu, who arrived last, came in.
"Sorry, I'm late." Ranwu said after coming in.
"You're not going to study secretly, are you?" Akaseki discovered that Ranwu was still wearing glasses.
Ranwu:...
"Just reading some books." Ranwu then remembered and took off his glasses.
She only wears glasses when reading, mainly to relieve visual fatigue, but now her first priority is to read the medical books that make her taller than herself after reading the table of contents!
Gululu--
Seeing that Akimichi Clan hadn't eaten for half an hour, and everyone was here, he started ordering Ramen.
"Minato, can you really eat all you want?" Akimichi Clan specifically confirmed.
"Of course, didn't we make a lot of money this time? You're welcome." Minato said.
"Ten bowls of barbecued pork noodles, three times of barbecued pork!" Akimichi Clan said directly to the boss.
"You should be a little more polite to me..." Nara said helplessly.
"Noble luxury special offer Ramen." Akaseki said reservedly.
After everyone had eaten Ramen, they were still chatting in the store.
If it were anyone else, they would most likely be disliked by the Ramen store owner, but...
With Choza Akimichi here, the boss's service quality has improved significantly!
"By the way, have you heard about what happened to Chunin Ninja Exams this year?" Yamanaka said at this time.
"Is there something special?" Akaseki immediately pricked up his ears.
"Well, I heard from my family that this year's Chunin Ninja Exams and Lord Hokage will invite other hidden villages to participate." Yamanaka said.
"Isn't it always like this?" Akaseki wondered.
It is because of this that the security team will be extra busy during Chunin Ninja Exams.
Nara on the side shook his head and said, "No, it's different from usual times. This time... it is said that other Dayin villages will be invited to participate."
Akaseki was shocked when he heard this. "Will they come?"
Usually Chunin Ninja Exams, the hidden villages that come to participate are all small hidden villages in the surrounding area, which itself is a manifestation of surrender.
"There should be... I guess Iwagakure will come. With Third Tsuchikage's character and philosophy, even if he doesn't agree with the alliance, he will come if he is invited. And Kirigakure, who has established a relationship this time, is also likely to agree to the invitation during the negotiation." Nara guessed at this time.
Now Shinobi World major hidden villages are ready to make moves. At this time, there should be more than one or two who want to win over allies or simply want to see the strength of Konoha.
After Akaseki heard it, he understood what Clan Leader meant yesterday.
If this is the case, then Chunin Ninja Exams has been given extraordinary significance this time - selecting a few Chunin has become a less important matter.
"Come to think of it...Chunin Ninja Exams really needs to be well prepared." Akaseki agreed.
Originally Akaseki thought that Chunin Ninja Exams would never be able to eliminate him no matter how he took the test, but now it is no longer a matter of promotion to Chunin!
But to give Konoha face... and even to increase the deterrent effect.
And...
I also know that Chunin Ninja Exams will definitely be very strict this time. After all, it is deliberately made for others to see. It must show the feeling of "Look, at our Konoha, we can only be Genin".
It would be uncomfortable if you were eliminated in the end.
Especially if Minato or Ranwu passes and he is eliminated, then Akaseki will be too uncomfortable. He will have to apply to transfer to Konoha Military Police Force when he returns home. In the future, whoever likes to do these bad tasks will do them...
After Land of Waves's mission, Team 7 will not only have a week's rest, but will also relax for the subsequent missions.
On the one hand, it is because Jiraiya considers that they need to settle down and practice before Chunin Ninja Exams; on the other hand, it is also because, from the perspective of "gaining knowledge", Team 7 has already gained a lot of knowledge!
Actual combat and training are both necessary for ninjas to improve their strength. Without actual combat, they will not be able to realize their shortcomings, but they cannot ignore training...
