Chapter 128 The third round of exams
A month passed quickly, and the third day of the Joint Zhongnin Examination arrived as scheduled. Konoha Village welcomed guests from surrounding countries.
This is not the first time Konoha has held a joint Zhongnin exam, but there are extraordinary numbers of people coming to Konoha to watch the battle this year.
After a year of fermentation, the news that the Dragon Kingdom invested in Konoha for large-scale development has long spread throughout the ninja world. The exquisite products produced by the factory jointly established by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce and Konoha have been sold to the most remote mountain village in the ninja world.
Everyone knows that Konoha has made a fortune, but they don’t know how rich they are. All major forces in the ninja world want to figure out what the situation in Konoha Village is now.
The Chunin Examination is another platform to show the strength of ninjas in each village. Many people also want to explore the strength of Konoha Ninjas and want to know whether Konoha Ninjas have the ability to protect huge wealth.
If Konoha Ninja shows very weak strength... In the ninja world, a wealthy life is "a place for those with virtue". Without strength, it means being unvirtuous, and there is nothing to complain about being snatched away by others.
The bustling crowd walked along the gate of Konoha Village and entered the city with high-rise buildings. Every visitor from other places who entered the village was stunned by the prosperous scene in front of them. They all began to suspect that their hometown and Konoha Village were not in the same era as Konoha Village. Walking into Konoha Village was like a time shuttle.
The construction team of Dragon Kingdom has already completed the hardening project of the road surface in Konoha Village, and the forest road leading to Konoha Village has long been fully renovated according to the standards of the expressway, and the highway network covers the entire Fire Country.
On the border of the Kingdom of Fire, you can see such a scene, with the boundary line as the boundary. On one side is a rugged and rugged dirt road, and on the other side is a flat and straight oil road.
However, there are not many vehicles passing through these high-quality and high-standard roads.
The Longmu joint venture automobile factory has been put into production, but the domestic Muchi brand sedans produced by Konoha are very poor, and only local people in Konoha Village can buy it.
People in the ninja world seem to have a weird habit of not liking to ride cars. Even Daming of the Kingdom of Fire didn't pay a few hundred thousand taels to buy one as a car.
The way to travel to Konoha is to take a "sedan". This kind of sedan looks like a large ornate box, opening the door from the side and carrying it forward by four sedan chairmen on their shoulders.
The road from Konoha to Daming Jucheng, the Kingdom of Fire, has been completed, but Daming of Fire, has asked someone to carry him along the road to Konoha Village in a sedan chair, and dragged an hour's car to a whole day's walk, which is also a stubborn persistence among the Damens on tradition.
If the superiors are not carried away by others, and the sedan chairmen are not exhausted and out of breath, how can they reflect the noble status of noble people?
...
Sarutobi Hizun stood on the gatehouse above the gate of Konoha Village, looking at the endless stream of people entering the village.
Just at this moment, Daming and the nobles' sedan chairs lined up and began to enter the village. Daming's direct samurai and guardian ninjas dispersed the crowd, letting the civilians make a way out, emptying the wide road, leaving only Daming's sedan chairs to pass through.
The old Hokage took a breath of his pipe and looked at the scene and couldn't help but fall into thinking.
It is very rare that his disciple Jiraiya, who has been wandering around, returned to Konoha and took the initiative to come to him, saying that he would stay in Konoha for a long time in the future and would never travel around to find materials again.
This was a good thing, but Sarutobi Hirazen thought Jiraiya's prodigal son turned around and was finally willing to contribute to the village and assume the responsibility he deserved.
While feeling relieved, Sarutobi Hinazun was still thinking about observing Jiraiya for one or two years. If he changed his temperament and could work for Konoha steadily, he would become old, so he simply passed the position of Naruto to him in two years, which could be considered as completing the inheritance of the will of Fire.
As a result, Jiraiya explained the reason for staying with a worried look on his face. He was afraid that Naruto would not be supervised and would cause a huge disaster!
Jiraiya vaguely told Naruto's bold words to Sarutobi Hinako, and Naruto's sensational analysis also scared Sarutobi Hinako so much that he was sweating.
Konoha is obviously thriving, but unexpectedly, the crisis is brewing in secret!
Sarutobi Hinata has been sleeping all nights these days and has been thinking about Naruto's war proposals. He has been thinking hard for almost a month, but has not made a decision.
Naruto's ability is even more clear than Jirai.
That child is both a wise man in the world and a hero in troubled times. Isn’t the ninja world today in troubled times?
Even if that kid had poor ninjutsu's strength, using his evil mind alone to use his plan to create huge waves that swept the ninja world.
If he was determined to start a war, even if his strength was low, he would come up with a way to lead the war.
Like Jirai, Sarutobi Hinata doesn't want Konoha to get involved in the war, probably because the older the Jianghu, the less courage it is.
As an old and wise leader of a country, war is always the last option. Sarutobi Hirazen instinctively feels disgusted with war and disgusted with those who keep proclaiming the need to change the world through war.
Sarutobi Hinazhan does not think that Naruto's deduction of the future will definitely happen. He is more inclined to wait for Konoha's economy to prosper, and to take out money to help him first and then to bypass the Daming of the Ninja Kingdom to fund other ninja villages. Konoha eats meat, and they can drink soup. Perhaps other things cannot reach Konoha's prosperity, but they are much better than before. This is the correct way to peacefully resolve the conflicts in the Ninja village.
Letting Naruto plan and prepare for war is tantamount to raising a tiger. Ninjas are the best at exploring news. No matter how secretly tidy up the military and preparation for war, they cannot hide the eyes and spies of each ninja village. They will definitely affect the nervous nerves of all ninja villages, create opposition and develop hostility towards Konoha village.
Sarutobi Hinata was determined to take action against Naruto, put him under house arrest and discipline him strictly until he changed his mind, but he was afraid to act rashly.
Although Jiraiya did not support Naruto, she did not object clearly and even accepted Naruto as a closed disciple. When Naruto was moved, Jiraiya would not sit idly by. It was obviously shaken by Naruto's words.
In addition to Jiraiya, the ninjutsu teacher, Naruto also has the science instructor of President Bradro. The Dragon Chamber of Commerce specially hired Naruto as the chief researcher of the Science Ninjutsu R&D Center. The establishment has fallen to the Dragon Chamber of Commerce and has become a formal employee of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
According to the "Ryuki Goodwill Treaty", even if employees of the Ryuki Chamber of Commerce commit crimes, Konoha Village cannot be interrogated or imprisoned. They must be allowed by the Ryuki Chamber of Commerce to arrest people.
If you want to touch Naruto, you have to pass the level of his two teachers, unless you secretly send Anbu ninjas to arrest them secretly, and make it clear that they will claim that Naruto is missing.
Originally, Sarutobi Hinasen had already arranged the Anbu team to secretly arrest Naruto for interrogation, but something that happened a week ago dispelled this idea.
A week ago, the Anbu ninja who was monitoring Naruto came to report. Naruto took advantage of the night to break into the Kusin Camp alone and overturned the twelve Kusin. Three of the twelve Kusinans were there, and they snatched a female ninja from the Kusinan camp.
Captain Kushin, who led the team afterwards, formally protested to Konoha, demanding that Konoha severely punish the assailant.
Later, the Dragon Kingdom sent diplomats to calm the incident and spent a large amount of money to Kushin Village. It was Naruto's compensation for injuring and robbing people. In exchange, the stolen female ninja belonged to Naruto.
Sarutobi Hinazun was also becoming increasingly confused. What was wrong with Naruto's child? It would be fine if he wanted to start a war, but he could do anything to steal a woman?
No matter what bad things Naruto wanted to do when he kidnapped a little girl, according to Anbu Konomi who observed the battle from afar, Naruto's ninjutsu's strength was definitely not as mediocre as the Ninja School graduation exam results showed. If he wanted to secretly arrest him silently, it was not a task that one or two Anbu teams could complete.
Not to mention, Naruto also has many strange and difficult scientific ninjutsu methods. At that time, he is afraid that not only will he fail to capture it, but he will also lose his manpower. The aftermath of the battle will definitely cause large-scale chaos and will be noticed by the Dragon Kingdom fleet floating in the sky.
Naruto, who has a strong backstage, strong strength and ambitiousness, has transformed from the hope of Konoha's future rise to Sarutobi Hinazon's biggest trouble. The old Hokage took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. After the Chunin exam was over, he would take action himself, and he must catch Naruto and lock him up and restrain him well.
Chapter completed!
