But even if Kosuke is the leader, excluding him, the lineup is still very strong.
There are a total of 13 people taking the exam this time, four teams plus one Kosuke, and only one team has all members Genin who just graduated this year.
Chunin exists in many others, like Shiro and Minato, even all members of their team are Chunin
After all, the Shiro and other early graduates of this class have all been on the battlefield. As long as they survived, they have accumulated some merit, and the ninjas who have been baptized by the battlefield, Uzumaki Clan, have some training value for the village.
But at the same time, this is also where Third Hokage is troubled, because the outstanding Genin has been promoted to Chunin, leaving no one available.
Otherwise, Shiro and the others probably don't have to take the exam.
However, this is okay now. If nothing else, at least the championship is guaranteed. After all, other villages don't know the fighting power of Kosuke.
After a while, Third Hokage and an old man wearing glasses came out.
Then Third Hokage began to release the super illusion Will of Fire, which may be very effective for people like Konoha. Unfortunately, how can Shiro, who knows 24-Character Mantra by heart, be able to confuse him?
In short, Third Hokage has been talking for a long time, and the summary is that you guys come on, the village is proud of you, and the leader is Mitokado Homura, over.
And with just these points, Third Hokage can talk for half an hour. I have to say, Shiro really admires their eloquence.
As for Mitokado Homura leading the team, there is no doubt about Shiro, although in terms of strength and status, White Fang Hatake Sakumo may be more suitable.
After all, Mitokado Homura is Hokage Advisor, so it is not convenient for him to leave the village. Unfortunately, it is Sunagakure who went this time, and Sakumo killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law. If Sakumo goes there, there will probably be a fight.
Therefore, after considering some other factors, we can only let Mitokado Homura lead the team. Its strength and status are not inferior to White Fang. Of course, its strength may be a little worse. After all, people are getting older and their physical fitness has begun to decline.
But he won't be far behind. After all, he is also a disciple of Second Hokage, and he still has two skills.
Moreover, letting Hokage Advisor lead the team to take the exam is a sign of respect for Sunagakure, so I don't worry about losing etiquette.
After Third Hokage finished speaking, Mitokado Homura led everyone to set off.
In addition to the 13 candidates and the four team leaders Jonin, there were also more than a dozen ninjas from Anbu accompanying them, but Shiro could only occasionally see them around the camp during their breaks.
Therefore, it is not clear how many people Shiro are.
But no less than 10 people are required.
There was nothing to say about the journey, it was smooth sailing, after all, except for the three newcomers, the rest were all veterans, not to mention the existence of Anbu secretly, nipping all accidents in the cradle.
However, Shiro made two mistakes in his assessment.
First, the desert is more difficult than Shiro imagined, so Shiro's preparations were slightly insufficient.
Shiro estimates that if he walks for a while, judging from his skin color, he will probably become the real Shirou Emiya.
Second point, you cannot practice while resting on the way Thousand-Faced Wind
Because the movement of Thousand-Faced Wind is a bit loud, it will affect the rest of others. After all, this is not a mission for your team alone, and you still have to take care of others.
Therefore, Shiro's plan to learn Thousand-Faced Wind before the exam was completely ruined.
Fortunately, Shiro has no shortage of things to train. Since he can't practice ninjutsu, he can only choose Magecraft.
It just so happens that Shiro is very lacking in this aspect and needs to learn it carefully.
At present, Shiro only has a basic Barrier Magecraft, which is still far from being able to build Magecraft Workshop.
Besides, some of the skills learned on Barrier Magecraft can also be used on Reinforcement Magecraft and Projection Magecraft, so this is not a distraction.
At the same time, Shiro also thought of a way to maximize efficiency.
That is, leave one Shadow Clone Technique to practice in place, and the main body will follow. When the large army rests, then disband Shadow Clone Technique, recover its memory, and take a rest.
And because of the small amount of Shiro Chakra, Shadow Clone Technique's Chakra is not enough to practice Thousand-Faced Wind, so we can only study Barrier Magecraft.
Of course, Shiro did not do this privately, but first asked Nakamura for instructions, and only executed it after obtaining the consent of Mitokado Homura.
However, even so, surveillance is still indispensable. The group of Anbu will always leave a Shadow Clone Technique to monitor Shiro. Shiro can understand this, and he will do the same if he leads the team.
Besides, it's just surveillance, Shiro is not doing anything shameful.
In this way, half a month later, Shiro and the others successfully arrived at Sunagakure.
"Lady Mito, please come with me, Lord Kazekage has prepared a place for you."
"Well, sorry to bother you all, let's go."
After saying that, Mitokado Homura took the lead and followed the other party, asking as he walked, "I don't know, how many villages have come so far?"
"Going back to Lady Mito, Iwagakure, Kusagakure, Amegakure and Takigakure have all arrived, and Yugakure has not yet arrived."
"Oh, everyone is almost here, then the exam time should not change, right?"
"Yes, Lady Mito, the exam will be held as scheduled the day after tomorrow."
"That's it, I understand."
After learning some basic information, Mitokado Homura stopped talking and followed the other party quietly.
After a while, the ninja took Shiro and they stopped in front of a house.
"Lady Mito, this is the residence that Lord Kazekage has arranged for you."
Mitokado Homura looked up and said, "Lord Kazekage is thoughtful, thank Lord Kazekage for me."
"Yes."
After saying that, Mitokado Homura led Shiro and the others in calmly, without being surprised.
After all, Konoha is also a great ninja village, Sunagakure still dare not neglect the people of Konoha, even if it is not Hokage!
Therefore, there is no such thing as deliberately making things difficult.
They are still very powerful. Things like the prince Konoha in Boruto being attacked by someone in Kirigakure would never happen. You know, at that time, Naruto could single-handedly challenge the other four ninja villages. This shows how big they are.
Fortunately, Sunagakure was weak and no one came up to provoke. After all, the war had just ended. Sunagakure organized this exam just to ease the tense atmosphere among the villages after the war.
Those radical elements had already taken care of it, otherwise if something went wrong, Konoha and Iwagakure would be blamed all at once, and that would be a fool's errand.
Therefore, Shiro everyone smiled on their faces on the way here, and even those who couldn't smile were not let out, in order to create a good impression and facilitate future cooperation.
Not to mention the accommodation, Konoha and Iwagakure are both equipped with the highest standards. Other Ninja Villages also try their best to raise the standards. It can be said that the details are handled flawlessly.
