The dome building in the center of the entire Konoha Village.
An ANBU ninja knelt on the ground, speaking like a machine, reporting the latest news to the old man sitting at the desk: "Hokage-sama, there is news from the Second Security Area, near the No. 9 training ground.
There was a violent vibration…”
"Um."
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was wearing a hat and holding a pipe nonchalantly. He lowered his head and flipped through a stack of papers in his hand. He didn't seem to care much about the problems reported by the ANBU. He said casually: "I remember that the training ground No. 9 is assigned to the ANBU training class.
training ground…”
ANBU training class.
The ANBU training class nominally belongs to ANBU.
However, most ANBU personnel know that the ANBU training class is Shimura Danzo's root organization. In fact, the root organization has far exceeded the establishment of one class.
"yes."
The ANBU ninja responded and continued to report: "Observed from a distance, a forest appeared in a short time at the No. 9 training ground..."
"oh?"
The Third Hokage was still holding his pipe in his mouth and carefully flipping through the stack of papers in his hand: "Why does this situation sound familiar..."
"yes."
The ANBU ninja quickly lowered his head and explained to his superior: "Tenzo, who was transferred to the ANBU by the Hokage not long ago, released a wooden escape named [Wood Release: Jukai Rising] in the ANBU training ground.
The ninjutsu created a sea of trees in a short period of time. It is initially suspected that someone used the same wood escape ninjutsu at the No. 9 training ground."
"Well, there's no need to investigate in detail."
The Third Hokage nodded, still not paying much attention to this, still looking at the stack of papers in his hand: "I have known about this for a long time. There is a Wood Release Blood Successor Ninja in the ANBU training class, Danzo.
Yingfu has already told me."
Obviously.
The Third Hokage lied to his subordinates.
After all, not long ago, he mobilized ANBU personnel to surround the roots, and with an aggressive attitude, he was always ready to suppress the roots, and snatched a wooden escape blood ninja from Danzo's subordinates...
Now that I know that there is another Wood Release Blood Successor Ninja under Danzo's command, should I send ANBU to surround Genbu and snatch the second Wood Release Blood Successor Ninja?
This kind of thing…
But once and never again.
Especially since it was only a short time since the last time, if he did the same thing to Shimura Danzo in a short period of time, it would inevitably make Danzo feel dissatisfied and resentful.
If that Wood Release Blood Successor ninja has good talent, I can just find another opportunity to transfer him to the ANBU in the future. There is no need to anger Danzo now.
Konoha needs Danzo to deal with some shady troubles.
The ninja world is still not peaceful, there are still overt and covert fights between the great ninja villages, and the secret operations of spying, assassination and robbery have never stopped;
There is also instability within Konoha. Among them, the Uchiha clan, the strongest wealthy ninja clan, is ambitious. The conflict with the village is increasingly intensifying, and a conflict may break out at any time;
These things…
Danzo Shimura is needed to help deal with it all.
but…
Now Danzo must be given a warning.
Let Danzo know that he has been watching his every move.
Now Danzo must put away his unnecessary thoughts. He cannot have the courage to repeat the assassination of the Hokage a few years ago just because he has another Wooden ninja under his command.
That old friend…
Narrow-minded yet as timid as a mouse...
Once a flaw is caught, they will be frightened and crawl into the sewer.
"alright."
"There is no need to talk about this matter."
"The most important thing now is the village's Chunin Examination in the second half of the year."
The Third Hokage is still flipping through the stack of paper in his hand, which is the registration form for Konoha Village's Chunin Examination in the second half of the year. This is the most important assessment in the entire Konoha Village.
The purpose of the Chunin Examination is to select talents.
There are a large number of genin in Konoha Village. These genin are the basis for maintaining the village and accepting low-level ninja commissions. They are an important support for the prosperity of Konoha. However, they can only rely on accepting C-level and D-level ninja commissions throughout their lives.
Life.
However, the nature of Chunin is different.
If a genin scores well in the chuunin exam and is promoted to chunin by the village, it is equivalent to having a fixed job to choose from.
Chunin can perform lucrative B-level combat missions, work in certain departments in the village, and even have the opportunity to join the ANBU.
The Chunin Examination is the highest level unified examination in Konoha.
Konoha holds a total of two Chunin exams every year, and occasionally it is held jointly with other small and medium-sized ninja villages. Without exception, the passing rate of each Chunin exam is very low.
Since the end of the Third Ninja War, the Ninja world has entered a peaceful era, and the Chunin Examination has taken on a new meaning. It has become an important occasion to show off Konoha's national power.
The financial income of Konoha Village mainly comes from the tasks entrusted by the Fire Nation daimyo and ninjas.
Daimyos from the Land of Fire often come to watch the Chunin Exams to decide whether to increase or decrease financial support; daimyo or nobles from other small countries will also come to judge whether to hand over high-level entrusted tasks to Konoha.
Other than that…
The most important thing, of course, is to intimidate and attract Konoha's allies.
Generally speaking, the small ninja villages are the allies of the ninja villages of the five major countries. The small ninja villages often compare the national strength of the ninja villages of the major countries and choose to join the more powerful ninja village.
The Chunin Examination is undoubtedly the occasion where the Xiaonin Village can directly observe the national power of Konoha in the peaceful era. This also forces Konoha to pay more attention to the Chunin Examination.
"Are all the registration forms for the Chunin Exams here?"
The Third Hokage slowly put down the pipe in his mouth and suddenly asked: "Did this little guy Uchiha Itachi apply to take the Chunin Exam alone?"
"Yes."
The ANBU ninja nodded and explained: "According to the information we checked, two years ago, Uchiha Itachi's teammates were all killed in a mission..."
"Since then, Uchiha Itachi has never participated in the formation of a team, and has almost never participated in the execution of commissions. Naturally, he has no teammates to participate in the Chunin Exam together..."
"but…"
"In the past two years, Uchiha Itachi has been training with Uchiha Shisui, and even assisted Uchiha Shisui in completing collaborative assessment tasks..."
"Even if the assessment mission is interrupted, we can still determine that he is an excellent ninja and has the ability to complete the Chunin Exam alone."
"The only thing that's not fair is the three-person cooperative battle assessment."
"There have been many precedents in the village."
"For example, when the ANBU captain Kakashi Hatake's teammates, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara took the Chunin exam, due to the lack of teammates for the three of them to cooperate in the battle assessment, even though Kakashi Hatake, who was in the same class, had become a Chunin
, is still judged to be able to assist two teammates in participating in the three-person cooperative battle assessment of the last chuunin exam..."
"However…"
"Uchiha Itachi's only teammate is Uchiha Shisui. It would be a bit..."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The Third Hokage laughed and interrupted his subordinates, waving his hands and saying: "That would be too bullying of these children and would make this exam a joke."
"yes."
After the ANBU ninja nodded, he raised his head and looked at the old man, and continued to add: "However, Uchiha Itachi is indeed capable of passing all exams alone. Uchiha Shisui mentioned that every training result of Uchiha Itachi is
outstanding…"
"Okay, let's do it this time!"
The Third Hokage nodded and said, seemingly unintentionally: "Kakashi, Tenzo, you go to the ANBU training class and submit a registration form..."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Two figures wearing masks stood up quickly!
The Third Hokage looked at one of them and his eyes became a little sharp: "Go tell Danzo and let the kid with the Wood Release take part in the Chunin Exam!"
Please collect it!
I should have a chance to test the waters tomorrow...
