" Hiruzen, we can ignore other matters, but those people from the ninja villages who come here must be strictly investigated and monitored. The current Shinobi World world is in a very chaotic state, and the relationships between the various ninja villages are extremely tense. You wouldn't want to see anything dangerous happen, would you? This is still in our Konoha!"
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished instructing Torifu Akimichi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu on their respective tasks, Danzo, who was sitting on the left, suddenly spoke up again.
However, this is different from his previous statements.
Danzo's words this time were absolutely correct. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without hesitation, saying, "That's as it should be. People from various ninja villages entering Konoha territory must be subject to certain restrictions. In this regard..."
"Then let my Root handle it; isn't that the Root's responsibility?"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi finish speaking...
After lightly Danzo spoke in an unquestionable tone.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then gave Danzo a deep look, seemingly after careful consideration, before slowly saying, "Indeed, this task will be handled by you and Root. En, you should also assist us. After all, there will be many guests coming to Konoha this time, and we absolutely cannot afford any problems in this area!"
Moreover, he deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and his extremely deep gaze said a lot!
Mitokado Homura was also able to understand the meaning of his close friend, the Hokage, in an instant.
Only family members know their own affairs.
Mitokado Homura didn't think Hiruzen Sarutobi was making a fuss, and immediately replied, "Yes, I understand. I will arrange everything with Danzo!"
Mitokado Homura could understand it, and there was no one in the room who couldn't understand it.
Danzo himself, in particular, had a moment of gloom on his face, but it was fleeting. They had known each other for thirty or forty years and knew each other inside and out. This kind of arrangement and routine was just basic stuff!
Therefore, Danzo adjusted his mindset well, and his expression returned to its previous calm and composed state.
'Hmph, Hiruzen, you can't stop anyone else, and you can't stop me either. I'll prove you wrong!'
Danzo inwardly, thinking with a chilling glint in his eyes.
The ever-changing situation and the judgments made by each party will determine what changes and developments the Shinobi World will face next.
The joint Chunin Ninja Exams will proceed as scheduled.
People from various ninja villages will Chiriku the world.
As the first ninja village to depart, the group from Kirigakure, led by Ao, arrived in the Land of Land of Fire on May 26th. Subsequently, guided by guides specially arranged by Konohagakure, they headed straight for Konohagakure, located in the heart of the Land of Fire.
It can be said that the scenery seen after crossing the border and entering the Land of Fire is truly different from that of the Land of Water!
The leaders, including Ao and several other Chunin, Jonin experienced Mist Ninja who had traveled to many countries, including the Land of Fire, so they naturally wouldn't experience any emotional fluctuations. However, the others, especially Kei and the others, would experience varying degrees of emotional fluctuations.
Different geographical environments and different cultural atmospheres.
It is indeed very easy to spot at a glance.
Although I had seen the geography and scenery of the Land of Fire through the original anime in my previous life, it was ultimately through a screen and I could only see a part of it. The experience was far inferior to this personal one!
' The Land of Fire? It is indeed a very wealthy country. Even in the border areas, the difference is obvious. No wonder all the countries are eyeing the Land of Fire. Taking a bite out of it would make them incredibly rich!'
As Qi observed the journey, he pondered silently, a faint trace of emotion appearing deep in his eyes.
Take Kirigakure for example. What would they gain from a relentless Sunagakure? Just a stretch of yellow sand?
Should we fight the Cloud Ninja to the death?
That's all a vast sea area, so whenever there's an opportunity, all the major ninja villages will still keep their eyes on Konohagakure, waiting to defeat Konohagakure and then make a killing from the Land of Fire —whether it's resources, reparations, or even land. If the Land of Fire leaks even a tiny bit of it, it'll be enough for other countries to have a blast!
This is basically a consensus among high-ranking officials in other countries. However, in the past few decades, none of the major ninja villages have truly organized an effective siege in a one-on-one situation.
Even without Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, two unparalleled villains, Konohagakure could still maintain its position and reputation as the number one ninja village!
Generally speaking, it takes two major ninja villages joining forces to offset the gap between them. If Three Great Shinobi Villages join forces, they can definitely suppress Konohagakure. If four major ninja villages attack together, unless one of the two overpowered ones is resurrected, Konohagakure will definitely be destroyed. In the First Shinobi World War, after Tobirama Senju Hiruzen Sarutobi Konohagakure was truly facing the crisis of destruction.
The reason they were able to hold on was...
One reason is that young Hiruzen Sarutobi truly lived up to the title of "Hero of the Shinobi Hero." His strength and skill were indeed the most outstanding Tobirama Senju the Third Hokage of his generation. He forcefully reunited Konohagakure, which had begun to collapse after the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Another important reason is that the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu, Mu, died in a direct battle, leading to a full-scale war between Kirigakure and Iwagakure!
This is what allowed Konohagakure to escape a calamity!
It can only be said that, from any perspective, Konoha truly deserves to be called the village of the protagonist; its aura is truly outstanding.
Qi sighed with emotion as he followed the main group forward.
After traveling for most of the day, the group finally arrived at the location of Konohagakure.
"Everyone, we are now entering Konoha territory. Please, all members of Kirigakure, strictly abide by the previously communicated regulations!"
The leader, a Konoha ninja with a noticeable scar near his eye, spoke softly with a slight smile.
In reality, those words contained a warning.
Everyone present could hear it.
Some of the hot-blooded Genin also revealed a hint of anger.
