Three-Village Joint Chunin Exams, Third Match Exam on the same day.
"Wow, is this the work of Konoha... it's so majestic!"
Under the leadership of Kurenai Yuhi, Fenghua Koyuki, a famous figure in the Land of Snow, arrived at the spectator stand at the competition venue. Looking at the luxuriously decorated viewing stand in front of her, which was equivalent to that of her own Daiming Mansion, Fenghua Koyuki looked incredulous.
As an actress over the years, she has traveled extensively and seen the world, and it's not like she has never visited big countries and Shinobi Village.
But this time Chunin Ninja Exams's battle really surprised her.
The entire venue is centered around the arena, which is surrounded by Viewing Stand.
Each Viewing Stand seemed to have undergone special Barrier treatment. When Kazahana Koyuki turned around to look, he could only see the silhouette of Viewing Stand next to him, but he couldn't see clearly who was inside.
And it is not the kind of product that is light and airy without details. As a film art staff, Kazahana Koyuki is still very aware of some details - such as the carvings on every part of the wooden walls, the special structural triangular prisms on the wooden eaves, and the patterns on these wooden tea sets...
[Hey, why are they all made of wood? Is it because it's called Konoha that it features wood?]
"You are joking, Land of Snow has frequent business dealings with us, Konoha, so we naturally want to give you a home away from home experience."
Kurenai Yuhi, who was responsible for guarding Kazahana Koyuki today, smiled and said, of course, she did not tell the other party that this was all created by a certain Anbu who had 'atoneed' for a month.
But Santarō Asama, who had been to Konoha countless times, acted like he had seen the world, and was muttering in his heart--
[Before, when I came to Konoha on behalf of Land of Snow, I was not treated so well.]
"It's done in a good way!"
The senior management of Land of Fire next to them also nodded with satisfaction. After all, they were considered half of the hosts.
"As long as you are satisfied, Sir."
Asuma Sarutobi, who was responsible for connecting with Land of Fire leadership, said cheerfully.
The senior executives of Land of Fire all bring their own Guard. Even if Konoha is the Ninja village under their name, the senior executives will only trust their true confidants.
Only Ninja who have served as Twelve Guardian Ninja's Asuma Sarutobi can take on the Guard job of Land of Fire leadership.
"What a lively event. Konoha has developed well in recent years. Even Capital of the Land of Fire seems to be no longer as prosperous as the village."
One of the tall and thin executives turned to look at the master Viewing Stand and said with a slightly sinister tone.
"You are joking."
Asuma glanced at the senior executive and dealt with it in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, but still silently complained in his heart that these noble people are really small-minded...
However, he didn't notice that a black executive suddenly slipped out from the body of a silent senior executive standing in the crowd.
Every Viewing Stand of the surrounding big forces has a similar arrangement, with one or more Konoha high-level Jonin leading his subordinates as Guard, not only It is a force that is on good terms with Konoha. Even for forces from other countries that only have dealings with Kirigakure or Sunagakure, Konoha's facade skills are quite good.
It's completely impossible to fault.
"I thought Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hokage were old, but I didn't expect that things were handled in an orderly manner."
"Yes, with the combination of Three Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha seems to be able to remain at the top of Five Great Shinobi Villages for a while."
While everyone was talking, Viewing Stand belonged to Commoners.
"Ah, Sakura, here, here!"
Ino, who had been eliminated, saw his best friend arriving and greeted him quickly.
Although Sakura, Shino and Kiba Inuzuka did not attend this Exam, they also came to visit Third Match Exam. After all, it is a rare event in the village.
"Hahahaha, you have all been eliminated? I told you to show off your strength and insist on participating in this Chunin Ninja Exams. It is inevitable."
Ya laughed and looked at his classmates, then sat down next to Shikamaru, "I heard that you were very impressive in the first two Exams. Why were you still eliminated? Are you so timid?"
"It would be too much trouble to explain to you... Hey Choji, let's change places."
"Ah? You dislike me?"
Because there is still some time before Exam starts, the audience is also entering the venue one after another.
So they still had time to joke and joke among their old classmates, and Shino was also curious to ask Shikamaru about the experiences of Exam in the first two games.
"Humph, Sakura, let me tell you, luckily you didn't participate. It's already thankful that the three of us can stand here without missing arms or legs. You don't know that there are still people from Exam who are lying in the hospital unable to move."
"So serious?"
Sakura We are all shocked. It has been at least a month. How serious is the injury to be like this...
Within Konoha Hospital.
"Gaara, it's almost time."
Temari reminded carefully.
Looking at Kankuro and Baki who were still unconscious on the hospital bed, they felt a little helpless.
Although Konoha's legendary medical master, Princess Tsunade, personally said that Kankuro was out of danger, but it seemed that it was still difficult for the other party to regain consciousness.
[When the mission starts, Kankuro can only be abandoned...]
And as if he saw Baki's thoughts, Gaara suddenly looked at Baki with murderous intent. "You are here to protect Kankuro."
"Eh?"
Baki was stunned for a moment, but Gaara had already turned around and left the ward.
"... I'll go and watch him." Although Temari was quite happy that his brother cared so much about him, on the surface he still nodded to Baki.
Only Baki and Kankuro on the hospital bed were left alone in the room.
"Forget it, just protect, Lord Kazekage is here anyway... there shouldn't be any problem." Baki sighed.
Meanwhile, Mount Myōboku.
"Well, dad, mom, the time agreed upon with Lord Jiraiya is coming soon. It seems that I have to go back first." Hinata looked at the face of Naruto who was still in a meditative state not far away for a while, then stood up and said to the little Minato and Kushina on both sides.
Under the strong request of Kushina, Hinata has become accustomed to this title for nearly a month.
"No, no, your game is also very important. How can you not have your family cheering you on? We parents can't favor one another! Minato, how about you watch Naruto here, and Hinata and I go back first?"
Kushina floating in the air shook his head like a wave drum, looked at Minato and discussed.
"... Um, Kushina, I have to remind you, Hinata's family is most likely already waiting for her and will cheer for her." Looking at Kushina really made Hinata Treating as a daughter, little Minato smiled softly, then shook his head, "And you can't go back with Hinata. You are just a clone now."
"... Hehe, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. I have been so comfortable this month."
Kushina seemed to be late and stuck out his tongue, looking at Hinata with some regret, "Then Hinata, you have to be careful, we will go back as soon as Naruto wakes up."
"Hmm."
Hinata nodded, and then reluctantly glanced at Naruto, who was still meditating not far away, recalling the situation in the morning.
Originally this morning, it was supposed to be arranged for Jiraiya to use Summoning Technique to summon Naruto and Hinata back to Konoha. However, after entering meditation for the last time yesterday, Naruto never woke up.
"Naruto He seems to have realized some special state. Don't let anyone disturb him for the time being."
Nine-Tails, who was almost connected to Naruto, simply left such a sentence, and Little Nine-Tails disappeared in front of everyone.
Even the two Great Toad Sage didn't know what Naruto had understood. The only thing they understood was that Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu, within this month, Naruto had inherited it almost perfectly.
It seems that after learning Nine-Tails's original Senjutsu system, he had a very good foundation for Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu, which made him learn extremely easily, and he almost learned it in the first week.
Most of the rest of the time was spent on meditating to consolidate and 'help' Hinata.
Although after helping for a while, Sage Shima severely stopped Naruto from misleading... Ah, no, stopped Naruto from helping Hinata.
Even for this reason, in the end Sage Shima compromised not to buy bugs as food and bought them normal ingredients, which made Naruto give up the idea.
Sage Shima feels that he has made a huge sacrifice... but the two Sage are still very curious.
In this case, can Naruto still understand something new?
Is this the real reason why Great Toad Sage wants to teach Naruto Mount Myōboku Senjutsu?
