It snowed all night, and the whole village was covered with a layer of silvery white.
On the street, there were people with brooms and shovels clearing the snow from the road, children were chasing and playing, and the aroma of food wafted from someone's house.
The ninjas from each village who came to take the chuunin exams today arrived. They were all led by their own jounin and arranged to stay in the village's guest house.
On this occasion, Orochimaru should have come forward to receive him, but he still stayed in the research institute and refused to come out, so he had no choice but to come forward on his own.
Shinya understood that in the eyes of outsiders, a young man like himself was definitely not worthy enough, so he invited Minato to join him. With the famous golden flash in the ninja world, these guests would not feel that they were being neglected.
Minato originally didn't want to attend such an occasion, but Naihe came to invite him personally. Considering that he had helped Lin, he couldn't refuse.
So he became a real tool for picking up guests.
The leading jounin of the Sand Ninja is a young and beautiful woman named Ye Cang, a blood-successor ninja who is good at using Burning Release and is quite famous in the ninja world.
When I met her, I remembered that this woman seemed to have been betrayed by Sunagakure and became a victim of politics.
Although he is still alive now, he is probably dying soon.
The village is much more lively than before. Some ninjas wearing forehead protectors from other countries can already be seen on the street. In addition, there are also many merchants. This is really what we have contacted in advance and given
They have a street where they can set up stalls to do business.
Konoha has strengthened its police force and conducted strict checks on everyone entering the village.
Everything related to the Chuunin Exams is going smoothly. Zhen has been a little busy these past two days, and many things require his supervision.
At the same time, in the Land of Rain, the Akatsuki organization has a stronghold.
Yahiko looked at the letter from Hanzo presented by his subordinates. The content was that Hanzo admired the actions of the Akatsuki Organization and wanted to invite them to the Akatsuki Organization for a meeting and discuss future family and national affairs.
If the previous Yahiko had received such a letter, he would have been extremely happy and felt that his hard work for so long was worth it.
In the entire Rain Country, almost everyone does not admire Sansho Hanzo, the legendary figure who pushed the Rain Country's military power to its peak and started a war with three major countries at the same time with one man's power.
But after receiving Konoha's warning, Yahiko lamented his own naivety and the viciousness of Sansho Hanzo.
Obviously the vision of himself and the entire Akatsuki organization is for the entire Kingdom of Rain, why can't Sansho Hanzo understand? Doesn't he want to save this country? Or is it that he has lost his ambition in his old age and has begun to indulge in his own hands?
of power.
Can such a person continue to lead the Kingdom of Rain?
A subordinate came to report: "Lord Yahiko, the ninjas of Konoha have arrived."
Konoha's letter said that when they get into trouble, ninjas will be sent to assist them.
Yahiko thought that the visitor must be an elite ninja from a great country, so he did not dare to neglect him and immediately got up and went to meet him.
There were only two people coming, an old man with a stooped figure who was carrying a pot on his back, and a middle-aged man wearing a funny green tights.
If it weren't for the Konoha forehead protectors of these two people, Yahiko wouldn't be able to believe that the other person was a ninja, and the image he had previously imagined in his heart instantly collapsed.
He turned his head and whispered to Nagato: "These two people..."
Nagato said expressionlessly: "Konoha ninja."
He has no good feelings toward the people of Konoha. Every time he sees Konoha ninjas, he will think of the day his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas.
The corner of Yahiko's mouth twitched, thinking that Konoha was trying to deal with them.
"Hello." He still took the initiative to greet me.
Maruhoshi Kosuke handed over a document.
"My name is Kosuke Maruhoshi, and this is Matt Dai. The village sent us to assist Akatsuki's operations."
Yahiko took it and took a look, his expression suddenly turned bad.
"Genin..."
Both of them are genin.
There was hidden anger in his heart, but he suppressed it when he thought of the help Konoha had given him recently.
Kosuke Maruhoshi knew what Yahiko was thinking just by looking at his face. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yahiko, it is not a good habit to judge people by their appearance."
Yahiko was shocked. Looking at Maruhoshi Kosuke's calm and calm posture, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and suspicious.
He took a deep breath and smiled at the two of them: "You two have worked hard coming from afar. Please take a short rest. I will notify you when the action is taken."
The subordinates led Kosuke Maruhoshi and Matt Dai into the stronghold.
Xiaonan couldn't help but ask at this time: "Are these two people really okay?"
They don't look like normal people.
Yahiko said: "This is our own business. Konoha has done its best to help us. We should not force them to do anything."
After Kosuke Maruhoshi and Matt Dai were led into a lounge, Matt Dai breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been tensing up just now, fearing that he would reveal his cowardice.
Ever since Zhen applied for a B-level mission before, Zhen has been sending him some high-level tasks on a regular basis, and his partner is none other than Kosuke Maruhoshi.
Kosuke Maruboshi is used to such scenes. He has performed countless high-level missions. Although he is both a genin, he is different from Matt Dai, who is disliked and laughed at by everyone in the village. He still has a certain reputation, except
Except for some young people, many people were very polite to him.
In the recent team-up with Matt Dai, he also figured out the level of his teammate. He mastered a secret technique of physical skills, which can burst out with extremely strong power for a period of time, but then there will be a period of weakness.
.
What gave him a headache was that although Dai had a child, he had no experience in high-level tasks and had to take care of him in many places.
Maruboshi Kosuke guessed that this might be true, and he wanted to train Matt Dai.
"Senior Kosuke, our mission target this time is Hanzo the Sansho Fish, right?" Matt Dai asked.
"That's right." Maruhoshi Kosuke said.
"This is a demigod..." Matt Dai couldn't help but smacked his lips.
The other party was once a figure who stood at the top of the ninja world. Even the three ninjas in his own village relied on him to become famous.
Matt Day never thought that he would one day be able to play against each other.
"Don't worry, it's not just us, it's also the entire Akatsuki organization." Maruboshi Kosuke said, "Sama-sama thinks so highly of them, there must be something special about them, and Sanshouyu Hanzo is already old."
Age is a ninja's biggest enemy, and he knows this very well.
He took out a green reagent from his arms and handed it to Matt Dai.
This was the antidote Zhen gave them before leaving. It had fewer side effects than the batch Zhen gave to the Akatsuki organization, but there were only two of them.
Sanshouyu Hanzo is famous in the ninja world for his poison, so they must be prepared to deal with it in advance.
Matt Dai walked to the window, thinking that if Kai knew about the mission he was performing, he didn't know what would happen.
