The border between Land of Fire and Land of Wind.
Luxury Camel Caravan, who walked out of the desert, was stopped by Konoha Ninja.
The Sand Shinobis also guarded the convoy vigilantly, looking at the Konoha border officers with unkind expressions.
Because what stopped them was not the ordinary Konoha Ninja guarding the border, but the elite Konoha Jonin headed by Hyuga Hiashi.
Their team lined up neatly, but they did not show any aggression.
"Sorry to bother you, is this Lord Kazekage's team?"
Hiashi took a step forward, and then asked very politely, "Lord Hokage asked me to wait here for you."
"Is this how Konoha treats guests?"
Sunagakure Jonin, who was blocking the Kazekage frame, had a bad look on his face.
"We apologize for causing you any discomfort, but there is nothing we can do about it." Hiashi apologized humbly, "This is also what Mr. Kirigakure Mizukage meant.
Because there are too many Land of Water big shots coming from Three-Village Joint Chunin Exams this time, but they are on guard against Konoha and Sunagakure. They don't want to see too many of our armed forces present..."
"Lord Hokage is also very difficult to handle, so I specifically asked me to discuss it with Lord Kazekage..."
"What about Mizukage! Whatever he says is what he says?"
Sunagakure Jonin was still ready to ask questions, but from the camel convoy behind him, Fourth Kazekage, wearing a mask on his face, slowly walked out.
Looking at the team in front of him, headed by Hyuga Hiashi, which gathered many Konoha experts, Kazekage pretending to be Orochimaru smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, since Lord Mizukage also agrees, we Sunagakure naturally have no reason to refuse."
"Lord Kazekage understands justice and is admirable." Hyuga Hiashi saluted respectfully, "Please also arrange for the personnel to go to Konoha. Please rest assured that Konoha will be responsible for Guard's work along the way and entertain everyone who comes from afar!"
The border between Land of Fire and Land of Water.
"... This is also what Sunagakure Lord Kazekage means, because there are too many Land of Wind big names coming to Three-Village Joint Chunin Exams this time, but they are on guard against Konoha and Kirigakure. They don't want to see too many of our armed forces present..."
Kakashi also followed the script and explained with a smile along with Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura who had met him once before.
Although his smile was completely covered by the mask, no one could see it.
"Are you kidding? You are only allowed to bring two personal guards with you when going to Konoha..."
Of course, Kirigakure's Jonin also completely disagrees, which is too unreasonable.
But Karatachi Yagura just glanced at his subordinate. The former suddenly broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to speak, and silently retreated behind his subordinate Mizukage.
Obviously, Fourth Mizukage, who has returned, is still very 'prestige' in the eyes of Kirigakure Ninja.
"Since it is something that Kazekage agrees with, of course I have no objection."
Karatachi Yagura then waved his hand, and Qing and another Kirigakure Ninja walked out of the team and followed.
"I'll just let the others wait at the border for now. It's no problem, right? Kakashi Hatake."
"Of course, of course. And Kirigakure and Konoha are allies. We will also provide sufficient logistical care to ensure that Master Mizukage is returned safely to Kirigakure."
Kakashi responded with a smile.
"Then let's hit the road."
Karatachi Yagura took the two of them directly, and then Kakashi and the others led the way, escorting them all the way to Konoha.
"Kakashi Hatake, I heard that the first competition is Sasuke Uchiha. Isn't he your subordinate? Are you so sure that you still have time to carry out the mission?"
On the way, Qing, who was in charge of the Guard carriage, suddenly asked.
"Even Sasuke, a young genin from Konoha Village, understands this clearly? Your intelligence network is really powerful."
"After all, he is your subordinate Kakashi, let alone Uchiha. There is no harm in getting to know him better."
Kakashi also understood that he had been in contact with Kirigakure a lot, so it was reasonable for Qing to pay attention to his own relationship.
"That child is precocious and doesn't like being taught by others. He likes to think by himself... But I heard that Master Mizukage was attacked some time ago? Who is so bold? Have you been caught?"
Qing paused, then looked at Kakashi: "Konoha even knows this?"
"After all, it is an alliance village, not to mention the safety of Master Mizukage. Of course Lord Hokage cares about it."
Kakashi responded with a smile.
Protrude a needle point against the wheat awn.
This made Qing Duo feel a little uneasy, Konoha seemed to know something...
Not long after, Konoha Gate was also bustling with people and very lively.
"Did you see it? This ox-cart formation is at least the Small Nations Daimyo level of travel. It's the same as the Land of Snow Daimyo Kazahana Koyuki that arrived before. You can't see it on weekdays."
"Your Excellency Linduo, our Land of Fire, is one of the top ten richest men and one of the financial backers of our Konoha. He is also here this time..."
"Hey, this team is even more heavyweight. Daimyo's brother next door is Land of Wind..."
"Oh, Mr. Lu from Land of Fire is here too..."
As a "well-informed" doorkeeper, Izumo Kamizuki looks like he knows everything and is bragging to other colleagues.
"Um...Izumo Kamizuki senior, don't you know that we also have a roster?"
A Konoha Genin wearing Chakra Armor held the roster in embarrassment and complained to the colleague next to him.
"Huh? What's wrong with us having a roster? This kid Izumo Kamizuki can memorize the roster. Wouldn't it be nice to let him brag about it?"
Chunin on the side said with a smile.
A group of Konoha Ninja have put enough protection on both sides of the path forward of these big figures, so that even a fly can't even think of flying through here.
The big shots are also very satisfied with Konoha's defense work, but they don't know if they pay too much attention to it. Guards Ninja can be seen everywhere, and almost no civilians in the village can be seen.
Third Hokage, who was standing high up, and two personal guards Ninja stood behind him, were also watching these prominent dignitaries.
It is no exaggeration to say that if something happens to the forces from all walks of life invited by Chunin Ninja Exams this time in Konoha, the entire Shinobi World will be in great turmoil.
"It's tomorrow..."
Third took a puff of cigarette and looked calm.
