Amegakure, Amekage's Office.
Tsunade showed no signs of aging, sitting behind the Amekage's desk, while Konan was processing some documents beside her, looking no different from before.
Uya was casually sitting in a chair in front of Amekage's desk, holding a cup of tea that Shizune had just poured.
" Konoha invited us to participate in their Chunin Ninja Exams? That's interesting."
A faint smile appeared on Uya's face. His words puzzled both Shizune and Tsunade. Why would Uya find a Chunin Ninja Exams held by Konoha interesting?
For Uya, even becoming Jonin or even succeeding Hokage probably wouldn't be Uya much concern.
"The date is set for two months from now, so should we participate?"
Tsunade rested her arms on the table, clasped her hands together, gently rested her chin on her hand, and asked Uya.
This was something she should have decided, but Uya suddenly came to Amekage's office, so she naturally asked for Uya's opinion.
What do you mean?
With a faint, unreadable smile on his face, Uya looked at Tsunade and asked a question in return.
Tsunade pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Participate, and not only participate, but you must win. Over the years, Uya, you have gradually faded from the Shinobi World's view, and our Amegakure has also become less prominent, with fewer missions being commissioned from the village."
"And most importantly, missions rely on the core strength of a village. You, Uya, can't possibly go and do those kinds of missions, so this time we must let the Shinobi World's celebrities and elites know that our Amegakure is also outstanding."
Tsunade carefully analyzed the situation. Although she mentioned Uya several times, she actually completely excluded Uya from her analysis.
Otherwise, if you add Uya to any situation, you can't do any analysis; Uya's personal opinion can almost determine everything.
"I also think Lady Tsunade is right."
Shizune stood to the side and nodded slightly. Even if Uya's name was renowned in Uya Shinobi World, who could afford to hire Uya for a mission?
What we're seeing are the elites and backbone of a village.
"Then I'll participate."
Uya took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Perfect, let Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin go."
puff!
Tsunade was taking a sip of water from her teacup when she heard Uya's words, and immediately spat the water all over the documents in front of her.
Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin are going to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams?!
Tsunade stared wide-eyed as she sat there, while the person standing behind her...
Tsunade and Shizune knew all too well the strength of Kimimaro, Tsunade, and Karin. Let alone Genin Jonin Chunin, how many jonin could possibly defeat the three of them?!
Sending a trio like this to the Chunin Ninja Exams is practically making it impossible for the others to survive!
"What's wrong? I remember Kimimaro and Haku have always been known as Genin, while Karin isn't even Genin."
Uya casually sipped his tea and said in a very calm tone.
"This..."
Tsunade's expression was still somewhat speechless. Kimimaro and Haku going to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams was too much for her to bear.
However, this was what Uya said, and it didn't seem like a joke. After considering it carefully, Tsunade took a deep breath and nodded.
"Alright, let's give those elites and celebrities of the Shinobi World a big surprise. But... who will lead the team?"
At this point, Tsunade showed a hint of hesitation.
To participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, there definitely needs to be a Jonin a team, but Jonin leading Kimimaro and Haku's team? Are you sure the Jonin isn't being led?!
Currently, the only people in Amegakure who are qualified to lead a team are probably her, Konan, Kushina, and Uya. No one else is qualified to lead Kimimaro's team.
"Since I have nothing else to do, let me go."
Uya finished his tea in one gulp, then casually said something.
Upon hearing this, Shizune, who was about to pour Uya another cup of tea, nearly lost her balance.
Uya personally led the team!
The team members are Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin again!
This isn't a team participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, are they going to wipe out Konoha?!
Although Kimimaro and Haku are only Genin, and Karin doesn't even have the status of Genin, these are just their public identities. Their secret identities are that of the Shadow Kage Guard of Amegakure, directly under Tsunade!
The position of Kage Guard was created by Uya in Amegakure after Kimimaro and Haku gradually grew up and reached the Kage Level. So far, there are only three of them: Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin.
This position can also be described as... the Anbu Captain!
Amegakure has abolished the Anbu system, but Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin's strength does indeed qualify them for the position of Anbu Captain. Only some particularly difficult missions are handled by the three of them.
For three people like this to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, especially with Uya leading the team, seems a bit too exaggerated. Even Tsunade was taken aback.
" Uya... you're going to the Chunin Ninja Exams too?"
"Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well go check on Hinata's training. It seems she'll be participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, so isn't that perfect?"
Uya stood up, shrugged at Tsunade, and then turned and left.
After a moment of stunned silence, Tsunade shook her head helplessly and said, "Never mind, it's fine this way..."
In the Shinobi World, in some unknown corner.
This is a hilly area, a desolate place, and in the middle of these hills lies a huge cave.
Inside the cave, Black Zetsu was attached to the body of an unknown ninja, standing there with a cold glint flashing in his eyes from time to time.
Just then, a White Zetsu emerged from underground and said to Black Zetsu, " Indra's reincarnation is easy to guide, but Asura's reincarnation seems to have a problem."
White Zetsu wore a helpless expression, shrugged, and said, "That Asura reincarnation, Naruto Uzumaki, seems a bit dim-witted and difficult to guide. It seems the only option is to start with Indra's reincarnation."
"How is Uchiha Itachi doing?" Black Zetsu asked with a gloomy face, or rather, his face was originally pitch black, exuding a gloomy aura.
White Zetsu shook his head and said, "You should know Itachi's situation. The only way is to use his younger brother Sasuke. But it seems that the direction is still correct."
"Um."
Black Zetsu nodded, a sudden glint of gritted teeth flashing in his eyes. He said, "Damn it! I shouldn't have revealed the Rinnegan back then. After Uya got the Rinnegan, I couldn't guide him to collect the Tailed Beast at all... And that guy, even though he didn't become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he still possessed the Six Paths Power..."
At this point, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes. He didn't even know how Uya had managed to reach the Six Paths Level. (To be continued.)
