On the day of the Chunin Examination, Orochimaru finally came out of the laboratory and met many people on behalf of the village.
At the end of the first literary test, he showed up to meet the candidates and said some encouraging words.
The so-called literary test assesses the genin's own theoretical knowledge, personal character, team concept and a series of other qualities.
After the literary test, there is the second test that tests teamwork, and finally the third test that tests personal strength.
This is the inherent process of the Chunin Examination. No matter how the content of the exam changes over the years, the gist will not change.
In the first exam, nearly half of the candidates were eliminated.
Many people hope that the ninjas in their village can perform well, but they are really not interested in the exam itself, as long as the Chuunin exam can go smoothly.
In the second exam, all the genin from small places were eliminated, which was also expected.
The only people left to take the third exam were members of Konoha and Sunagakure villages.
Zhen met Hagakure from Sunagakure Village again, and while being polite, he asked a few questions about the situation between Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
Ye Cang was surprised that Zhen would inquire about such a thing directly from her. Zhen continued to say that if you need help from Konoha, you can just ask. He also said that Sunagakure had helped Konoha when it was in crisis, and Konoha also wanted to give back.
friendship.
After thinking for a moment, Hagakura just said in a very mock-like manner that Sunagakure would definitely win, and said that he would convey Konoha's intention to Lord Kazekage.
Anko, who passed the second round, happily ran to Orochimaru and asked him how he performed.
Orochimaru just smiled and touched her head and said some words of encouragement.
Hongdou then asked Zhen very proudly if he had seriously looked at his heroic performance just now.
Zhen said perfunctorily that it was very powerful, but it made Anko a little unhappy and kicked him in the calf.

Root base.
"Hmph! Danzo, you will regret it!"
Watching Sarutobi walk away, Danzo didn't feel much in his heart, and even felt that Sarutobi was a little stupid.
Now he controls half of the police force and the lifeblood of the village. Who can touch him?
Orochimaru, just relying on the few ANBU of the Hyuga family under him?
Danzo dismissed it in his heart, as long as he completely mastered the security team, he could then infiltrate various departments of the village bit by bit.
When the time comes, it will be nothing but a piece of cake to force her into the palace again.
No wonder Sarutobi was forced to abdicate. In the final analysis, it was not because he was too cowardly.
Not all things in this world are decided by whoever holds the handle. It depends on those accusations. As long as Danzo doesn't admit it, it will be nothing.
Who in the village now has the strength to break up with him?
Sarutobi came to him so eagerly to warn him about this matter because he was afraid that he would be implicated and damage his glorious image as the Third Hokage.
When you helped him do those shady things, didn't you think that this day would come to you?
What Sarutobi said was not taken seriously by Danzo.
He is now wondering why the subordinate sent to Yuyin Village has not returned yet, and there is not even a letter.
According to the original plan, the Akatsuki organization should have been wiped out by now.
The Aburame Ryoma who was sent was considered to be his most capable general now, and assisting Yugakure in destroying a small mercenary organization was not something he could easily capture.
Could something have gone wrong...
Danzo thought about it in his mind, but only thought of the possibility of the Rinnegan. Feeling uneasy, he sent a small team to the Land of Rain to investigate the situation.

Shen Ye.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already rested, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the window.
The cold wind blew, but no one could be seen.
On the window sill, a white note was pressed under the stone.
Sarutobi patrolled the spot for a long time before frowning and taking the note in his hand.
[Danzo Shimura colludes with Amegakure Village to plot rebellion]
A line of words exploded in Sarutobi's mind like thunder, leaving him stunned on the spot and his scalp numb.
"What's wrong?" Biwako, who was inside the house, walked to the window and asked.
Sarutobi took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
Impossible, Danzo would never do this!
When he returned to the house, his mind was in confusion.
"What happened?" Biwako closed the window, saw the note in Sarutobi's hand, and wanted to reach out to take it, but he held it in his backhand.
"If you want to inflict a crime, if you want to inflict a crime..." Sarutobi muttered something.
"Hiruzen?" Biwako frowned slightly.
Sarutobi ignored Lake Biwa's soft call, his thoughts racing in his mind.
No matter how much Danzo goes too far, he cannot collude with outsiders to rebel.
But if the other party wants to take action against Danzo, why does it come to warn him again and again!
What do you want to do...what do you want to do...
"I have something to do and I need to go out for a while." Sarutobi said to Lake Biwa.
Biwako nodded. Seeing that Sarutobi had such a reaction, she could guess that something important had happened. She took her coat and put it on Sarutobi.
The winter night is extremely cold.
Sarutobi walked out of the room, but stopped in place. Looking from a distance, he could see the four huge rock statues on Shadow Rock.
After a while, he walked towards the Hokage's house.
The streets were deserted, and he, an old man of half a hundred years, arrived in front of Orochimaru's mansion.
It was Hongdou who opened the door. She was wearing pajamas and had obviously just come out of bed.
"Sandaime-sama?!"
"Where's the Yondaime?" Sarutobi asked.
Anko looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Orochimaru-sama usually doesn't live at home, he lives in the research institute."
Sarutobi nodded lightly and was about to leave.
Anko suddenly called him again: "Sandaime-sama!"
"Lord Orochimaru told me that if you come to him, let me tell you that he is busy with experiments. If you have anything to do, just go to Hinata's house to find Makoto."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Hinata Makoto…
He left the front door of Orochimaru's house and looked in the direction of the Hyuga tribe, feeling a little complicated.
Given his status, all he had to do was send a message to anyone he wanted to see. The heads of the major families in the village, even the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru, should take the initiative to come to his home to listen to his instructions.
But the current situation does not allow him to do this. He is not the one who takes the initiative in the situation.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know the other party's purpose at all.
Are you planning to overthrow Danzo, or are you trying to get something from yourself?
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the Hyuga clan alone. When the Hyuga clan guard saw that he was the Third Hokage, they were shocked and took him directly to the clan leader's house.
This is not his first time here. He has had in-depth interactions with both Hyuga Taikyu and Hyuga Rizu.
Sarutobi's impression of the current Hyuga clan has not been fully understood since the death of Hiashi, or in other words, before he had time to understand, he was no longer Hokage.
All we know is that this family is now attached to Orochimaru, and the new clan leader Hinata is also Orochimaru's right-hand man. He sits in the Hokage's office every day and helps Orochimaru handle many affairs in the village.
He didn't wait long in the living room when Ayano bowed and walked over.
"Sandaime-sama, please go to the study room."
Sarutobi couldn't help but think deeply as he watched the former clan leader's fiancée come to deliver a message.
Now that the owner here has changed, maybe everything has changed.
Sarutobi led Ayano into the study, but there was no one inside.
"Really?" Sarutobi asked.
Ayano suddenly looked embarrassed and found it difficult to say anything.
After she learned that the Third Hokage was visiting late at night, she hurriedly called Zhen, but Zhen told the Third Hokage to go to the study and then went back to sleep.
How should he respond to this? Could it be that he is really sleeping...
Sarutobi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw her expression, and looked around the interior of the study.
There are bookshelves on three walls, and there is nothing extra in the room except books.
There are three piles of documents on the desk.
Sarutobi walked forward thoughtfully and took one of them in his hand.
Ayano saw this and quietly closed the study door at the right time.
What Sarutobi held in his hand was a file of the Hyuga clan, and the above mentioned were all the young men of the Hyuga clan.
These people are all ninjas in the village, and Sarutobi has an impression of them.
He picked up another pile of documents and his expression changed instantly.
This is also a file, but it is a list of members of his Sarutobi clan.
The above-mentioned people all hold important positions in the village!
Sarutobi Hiruzen put it down silently, and then picked up the last document.
This is no longer a file list, but an extremely detailed record of all the shady things he and Danzo did.
Sarutobi's hands trembled slightly, and he finally understood what the other party's purpose was.
