Chapter 132 First arrival in Konoha (first update)
June 23, Konoha 60, outside the gate of Hidden Leaf Village.
A luxurious carriage drove slowly from a distance. A man in samurai uniform walking next to the carriage looked at the Konoha gate in front of him with his arms folded and sighed:
"I never thought that one day, I would be able to walk into Konoha's village so openly."
Next to him, a girl dressed as a maid smiled and covered her mouth:
"Zabuza-sama, it's thanks to Kawa-sama that he brought us here."
At this time Li Chuan also poked his head out of the carriage:
"Remember your identities. One is Zhan, the captain of the Prince's Guard, and the other is Bai, the maid. Don't reveal your identity, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
When he left the world of Naruto last time, the daimyo summoned him into the palace and ordered him as a prince to lead the nobles of the Fire Country to Konoha to observe the Chunin Examination.
So after he came back this time, he immediately summoned Zabuza and Haku to the Land of Fire, and then asked them to use transformation techniques to become followers and follow him.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the dignitaries from various countries would not come over until the final official match, but Li Chuan definitely had to come in advance in order to visit the points in advance and collect information about Konoha.
Otherwise, it will be too late by the time the official competition starts.
"We are more professional than you in these things."
Zabuza rolled his eyes and replied.
As an elite Jonin, he is definitely much more professional than Li Chuan, the pampered prince, in various skills such as sneaking into disguise and obtaining intelligence.
"Kawa-sama, don't worry, we have used transformation techniques to change our appearance. As long as we try not to use ninjutsu, even if we meet Kakashi, he won't be able to recognize us."
Bai explained in a soft tone.
"That's good."
Li Chuan looked at Bai's appearance, nodded and let go of the curtain.
To be honest, Bai used his transformation technique to transform into a girl, and there was really no sense of inconsistency at all. Her tone of voice, tone of voice and movements made her look like a gentle young lady.
He couldn't help but sigh that the cross-dressing man was so terrifying.
"When parking, please show the relevant pass."
At the gate of Konoha, two ninjas wearing green vests saw the carriage approaching, got up and stopped the carriage outside the gate.
Bai smiled and stepped forward, took out a stamped pass, and handed it to one of the ninjas:
"My lord is the distinguished Prince Marokawa. He came to Konoha on the orders of the Daimyo to observe your Chuunin Examination. I have already written to inform our Hokage-sama in advance."
The ninja quickly glanced at the document, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately softened his tone and replied very politely:
"It turns out to be His Highness the Prince. Welcome to Konoha Hidden Village. Lord Hokage has already given the order in the morning. My name is Kamizuki Izumo. Next, I will take you to see Lord Hokage."
"The Land of Fire and Konoha are one, there is no need to be so external."
Li Chuan opened the door curtain of the carriage, dressed as a Fire Nation nobleman, and jumped down from above.
"Your Highness, you won't take the carriage anymore?"
Bai hurriedly came over to help Li Chuan, with a look of concern that fully demonstrated the qualities a maid should have.
Li Chuan waved his hand:
"My waist hurts after sitting all the way. I want to come down and take a walk. After all, it is my first time to come to Konoha. I have always heard that the scenery of Konoha Village is charming, so I can just enjoy it."
"I have met His Highness the Prince."
When Shenyue Izuyun and his friend Gang Ziti saw Li Chuan getting off the carriage, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Although the ninjas in this world are powerful, in their perception, the status of nobles is still very high, especially those at the top of the nobles like Li Chuan.
"Hahaha, there's no need to do this. Just call me Chuan. Please lead the way."
Li Chuan smiled and nodded.
Shenyue Izuyun and Gangzitie looked at each other, and both felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, this prince is quite good. It seems that today's reception work will be much easier.
In this way, under the leadership of Shenyue Izumo, Li Chuan and others passed through the powerful protective barrier outside the Konoha gate and the wall, and entered the most prosperous and powerful Konoha Hidden Village in the Naruto world.
Clean streets, comfortable houses, lively streets, and ninjas and villagers coming and going with happy faces. Compared to other ninja villages, Konoha is indeed the best village on the surface.
This can be seen from the extremely jealous eyes of Zabuza next to him.
It is true that many tragedies happened in Konoha and many people died, but it was still much better than other ninja villages.
The living conditions are excellent, and various shops are also complete. Children who want to be ninjas can go to ninja school when they reach the age. They will be taught by specialized teachers and have friends of the same age to play and improve.
After graduation, they will be assigned to chunin and jounin, starting with the simplest and non-dangerous tasks, and gradually adapt to the battle between ninjas.
Looking at other ninja villages, the sky is full of wind and dust, and even drinking water is a problem, not to mention how good the life is. Otherwise, they are killing each other, and the hands of seven or eight-year-old children are already full of blood.
The only one that is better is probably the Kumogakure Village, which can barely compare with Konoha in terms of economic conditions and humanities. It even suppressed Konoha when the fourth generation just died, the Sannin left, and the young and middle-aged generation did not rise.
"It's Hokage Rock."
After walking for about ten minutes, Li Chuan saw four huge stone statues hanging on the cliff in the distance. They were the first, second, third and fourth Hokage of Konoha.
"Kamizuki Izumo, are all the ninjas from the other ninja villages here?"
"Your Highness, the Sand Ninja, Sound Ninja and Grass Ninja Villages have all arrived this morning, but the Rain Ninja and Taki Ninja Villages have not arrived yet."
Kamizuki Izumo replied respectfully.
Although His Highness the Prince just asked him to call him by his name, he couldn't really be less polite.
"Speaking of which, I also know a few ninjas from your village. I wonder if they will take the Chunin Exam this time."
Li Chuan smiled.
Shenyue Izumo looked surprised:
"Your Highness, do you know the genin of our village?"
He would not be surprised if Li Chuan was talking about jounin and chuunin, because the mission of chunin and jounin is to have the opportunity to come into contact with nobles of Li Chuan's level.
But the genin basically didn't leave the village very often, and they only did low-level tasks. Except for the daimyo lady who often lost her cat, she probably didn't have a chance.
Even this special jonin saw the prince of the Fire Country for the first time.
"Yes, I met them when I was traveling some time ago. Their name is... Oh. I saw them, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, long time no see!"
While Li Chuan and Shenyue Izumo were chatting, they happened to see the three Narutos under the big tree in the distance, so he stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Brother Chuan!!!"
Over there, Naruto and the three were discussing what they had just heard from the foreign Sand Ninja about the Chunin Exam. Suddenly they heard a familiar voice. They turned around and saw it was Li Chuan, and immediately exclaimed.
