The Start of the Written Exam

Inside the Hokage's Office stood a large group of people, all fully armed. The person seated in the Hokage's seat was Kakashi, who was arranging matters for the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Meanwhile, Shouhon Yihan, Hayakumo Sōma Zaojian, Senju Taoyuan, and Kumo-ma, among others, all returned to Konoha from the Land of Fire.

Shouhon Yihan, along with a portion of the Police Force, is managing public order in the Land of Fire, while also purging some stubborn elements; they have essentially turned the entire Land of Fire into Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Fat Water Squad, which had been operating in the Shinobi World Hayakumo Sōma, was collecting Ninjutsu. Any high-level Ninjutsu would be plundered by the Fat Water Squad and then sent back to Konoha intact.

Meanwhile, Hayakumo Sōma: to find information about Uchiha Obito and Uzumaki Nagato.

The members of the Fat Water Squad" have searched the entire Shinobi World, but they haven't found any trace of the two. It's as if Uchiha Obito and Nagato have vanished from the Shinobi World.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Armor Corps in the Kumo-ma, except for Inuyasha Jiaokun, continued their training in Lightning Gorge to master the Lightning Armor. Most of the members had cultivated their Lightning Armor to the power of S-rank Ninjutsu.

Yamato's Ministry of Agriculture has already extended the construction projects to the Land of Fire, and even built a main road directly connecting to Kyoto, the capital of the Land of Fire.

The same was true for Senju Taoyuan; he led a large number of Anbu Ninja searching the Shinobi World for Uchiha Obito! They also sought information on Uzumaki Nagato, but after searching extensively, they found no trace of either of them.

Upon receiving Kakashi's summons, Konoha's five top warriors returned to the village with their teams. Their simultaneous appearance alerted Konoha villagers to the situation, prompting many to reduce their outings.

Many Konoha stayed home to watch Konoha TV, ready to hear about any major events that had recently occurred in the village.

Meanwhile, the Five Tiger Generals of Konoha were all in the Hokage's Office, paying their respects to Kakashi, their first words being, "Lord Assistant Hokage, it's been a long time."

Kakashi smiled slightly upon hearing the greeting, looking at the five people he hadn't seen in a long time, feeling a pang of longing. However, his expression changed, and he spoke in a very stern tone:

"I called you here today because Konoha is holding the Chunin Ninja Exams, and there are also ninjas from Otogakure participating. Hokage is planning to take over the Land of Rice Fields. You should all know who Otogakure is, right?"

Shouhon Yihan laughed heartily, raised her head arrogantly, and shouted with a disdainful expression:

"Lord Assistant Hokage, the Otogakure is nothing but a Great Snake King. He actually dares to try and overthrow our Konoha. In my opinion, this is Otogakure's path to destruction. Once the war starts, it will be a great victory for our Konoha."

Hayakumo Sōma, who had listened to Shouhon Yihan earlier that morning, laughed heartily and then spoke loudly in a very stern tone:

"That's right, this is the kind of satisfying game we Konoha can play. We easily crushed Otogakure. This time, during our search of the Shinobi World, I found no one who could fight us. We Konoha Ninja can only play some satisfying games and bully weaklings. It's really frustrating."

As soon as Hayakumo Sōma, Kumo-ma and Dahe both shouted wildly:

"Old Bai is absolutely right. Our Konoha has no real opponents, so we can only play some easy matches. Now that someone has finally been delivered to us, we can only crush some newbies."

Senju Taoyuan scratched the back of his head and said with a serious expression:

"Is Elder Homura in danger? He's been with the Fourth Kazekage all this time. I think Rasa's behavior is very strange. Could he have been switched with someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said in a serious voice:

"They should be fine. Elder Homura has received Enhancement Vaccine and has Quasi-Kage Level strength. Even if they can't win, escaping won't be a problem. Besides, I've already dispatched a team of Anbu Ninja to monitor them 24/7. Nothing bad should happen."

Just then, the door to the Hokage's Office opened, and a handsome man with a tousled middle-part hairstyle slowly walked into the office, his first words being:

"Assistant Hokage, I've completed the transplant surgery and now possess immense power. I heard this is a 'cool' event, so I'm coming to enjoy myself a bit."

Shouhon Yihan and the others, seeing that the person who came was Uchiha Kun, all shouted loudly:

"Brother Kun, long time no see! You've already caught up with the Fifth Hokage, even your hairstyle is the same middle part!"

Hayakumo Sōma looked at the handsome Uchiha Kun in the morning with great surprise on his face, and said with a smile:

"The Uchiha Clan is truly full of handsome men and beautiful women. Every member is good-looking, and you rarely see any ugly ones. Even if you're not dressed, people can still recognize the Uchiha Clan crest at a glance."

Upon hearing such praise, Uchiha Kun nodded and replied with a smile:

"Thank you for your praise. Actually, we're not as good as you think, but the Uchiha Clan will work hard and become even better in the future."

Kakashi, seeing that Uchiha Kun had obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, smiled slightly and said:

"Brother Ji, congratulations on awakening the legendary Sharingan! Also, I'd like to ask, didn't the Hokage come back with you?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kun immediately shook his head, his face darkening, and said:

"... Hokage went straight home. He said there were still some children at home training in Fire Release Ninjutsu, and he needed to go home and give them some guidance."

Kakashi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment, he reacted and spoke with great surprise:

"Aren't the Hokage's children all in school? Apart from Tomoki, are they all using Shadow Clone to go to school? Do they want to be a hands-off parent?"

Just then, several masked Anbu Ninja walked directly into the Hokage's Office and respectfully announced, "Assistant Hokage Kage, the Chunin Exams have begun!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately shouted, "Get the monitors set up. The Hokage is busy, so I'll take charge of the exam content. First, a written exam, then a combat exam. Those who pass will become Chunin of Konoha."

Several Anbu Ninja began assembling a large screen right inside the Hokage's room. Hidden cameras had already been installed throughout the entire examination hall, covering the entire space. Using both hands and feet, the Anbu Ninja quickly created a large screen.

One of the Anbu Ninja activated the switch by hand, and the entire examination room appeared on the large screen—a high-definition surveillance image that completely covered the entire room.
