Chapter 297: Sister and Brother Temari Begging to See You
Hidden Leaf Village.
After Uchiha Itachi returned to the village, he learned about the conflict between Team 7 and Kirigakure on a B-level mission. This was actually not a big deal.
But the Fifth Hokage still thought for a second.
Then he issued a new order. Konoha Hospital cleared a suitable ward to accommodate the elderly Third Generation. The three teams of ANBU ninjas must be on duty in shifts and report Sarutobi Hiruzen's condition to him at any time.
Itachi Uchiha was sitting in the Hokage's office, immersed in sorting out his files, and whispered: "Izumi, dispatch the teachers from the Ninja School who are free to go to the mission meeting center to assign commissions. Don't let the Third Generation interfere with these hard-working things.
…”
"Yes, Godaime."
The graceful ANBU ninja nodded. When she left, she glanced at Xiang Lian standing at the door of the office, and slowly exited the Hokage Tower.
Uchiha Izumi has been on a smooth journey since graduation. She has been in quite a few departments over the years, and was eventually transferred to the ANBU by Uchiha Itachi.
After seeing the red-haired girl come in, Uchiha Itachi raised his head and said: "The joint chuunin exam has been basically confirmed, Xianglan, you will be the instructor for the second forest of death!"
This was Tsunade's suggestion. It was regarded as the mission qualification before promotion. I don't know if the blond old woman has any evil intentions in it...
"clear."
After Xiang Ling nodded, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "But will Sasuke and Naruto also participate?"
"Hmm... I guess so!"
The Fifth Hokage held his forehead and thought about the two restless little guys: "Judging from their strength, passing the Chunin Exam shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"Senior Matt Kai has reported to me in advance that Class 3 will also participate in the Chuunin Exam. Neji and Rock Lee are worth looking forward to..."
"As for Tiantian..."
Uchiha Itachi thought of the stubborn little girl he met back then and said softly: "I heard from Senior Kai that she was quite accomplished in the art of time and space and the use of ninja tools..."
"The new generation of Inozukacho is too immature. That kid Shikamaru is a bit clever. I wonder if Asuma-senpai will allow them to take this exam... and Inuzuka Hana's younger brother, Kurenai-senpai is quite confident in them.
Very.”
After he officially succeeds to the throne, he intends to transfer the third class to serve as the Hokage Guards, so there is a high probability that this class will be allowed to be promoted to Chunin...
As for the other little guys, they have to use their own strength.
"What a pity..."
Xiang Lian looked at the Chunin uniform on his body and sighed softly: "This should be the most quality Chunin exam, right? But I have no way to participate!"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was a little speechless and couldn't help but chuckled: "Just in time, let them see that their peers and even junior girls have been promoted to chunin, they will have a lot of courage to face this exam, right?"
!”
When Team 7 returned to Konoha, batches of Sunagakure Village ninjas and Kirigakure Village ninjas who participated in the Joint Chunin Examination entered Konoha at the same time.
It's a bit like meeting each other on a narrow road.
Momochi Zabuza looked at the kid fiercely... Yes, he was the leading jounin responsible for leading the Kirigakure team to participate in the chunin exams.
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Kirigakure Kito with some arrogance: "Hey, are you here to complain to your brother?"
"asshole!"
Mochi Zabuza angrily pulled out the decapitating sword in his hand, wanting to decide the outcome with Sasuke again, but such a move by a jounin would inevitably arouse people's imagination...
Another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsman stopped him.
Kito Mangetsu quickly reached out and grabbed Zabuza's wrist: "Calm down, Zabuza-kun... let's go visit Kisame-sama first."
"snort!"
Kirigakure and his group looked back and forth strangely for a while, then followed their leader Jonin into Konoha.
After the Sunagakure ninjas on the other side entered the Konoha Ninja Village, there was a man and a woman standing at the end of the queue. They looked at Team 7 nervously and said: "We would like to ask how we can visit the Fifth Hokage of Konoha in private.
?”
"Huh? Want to see my brother?"
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were obviously wary: "Who are you?"
"Sorry, I'm Temari, and this is my brother Kankuro. We are genin of Sunagakure Village. We are here to take part in the joint chuunin exam." The girl brushed her hair and whispered: "But there is something we want to see.
When I get to the Fifth Hokage, there is a public case from five years ago."
"According to common sense, the Sunagakure genin pays a private visit to Lord Hokage..." Haruno Sakura looked at Temari's figure, bit her lip and said, "You will be blamed by Lord Kazekage, right?"
"Don't worry about it."
Temari shook her head and said, "My father is the Fourth Kazekage."
When this identity was revealed, everyone present was immediately calmed down.
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa has become very famous in recent years. It is said that this guy single-handedly built the Kingdom of Wind from a declining country that was defeated in the Third Ninja War to a new paradise on earth.
Not only that, he was also the first person to overthrow the corrupt daimyo, directly changing the situation of the entire ninja world.
Outsiders may not know the inside story, but the people inside Sunagakure Village have more or less understood it. They are all aware of Kazekage's governance measures and abilities.
There is a great possibility that the power of Sand Hidden Village and even the Kingdom of Wind fell into the control of Orochimaru... It is hard to say that the Fourth Kazekage has been controlled by Orochimaru.
When Uchiha Itachi met the Temari siblings, he was a little surprised. With Orochimaru's character, he actually still had the fourth Kazekage's children!
Is this really... kind-hearted?
Uchiha Itachi looked at the two Sunagakure siblings standing in front of him with restraint, and tried his best to appear kind and befitting his age: "What do you want?"
"We have some information about Orochimaru."
Temari lowered her head and spoke in a low voice: "Master Kazekage invited Orochimaru to serve as the village's advisory elder five years ago, but Orochimaru's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and we rarely even see him...
"
"We suspect that the Fourth Kazekage-sama may have been killed...and my younger brother, Gaara, the one-tailed jinchūriki, may have also been killed by Orochimaru."
"Because the village is full of Orochimaru's cronies, Kankuro and I were able to leave the village by taking the opportunity of the joint chunin exam..."
"I hope the Fifth Hokage can look out for the old alliance between Sunagakure Village and Konoha and help us find out the truth!"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi paused, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
In fact, he knows more. The Fourth Kazekage Rasa has probably been made into a dirty puppet... and the one-tailed jinchuriki named Gaara was probably captured by Madara Uchiha and given to the [Akatsuki] organization.
.
It's just that the agreement he just reached with Orochimaru not long ago is far more binding than the agreement between Sunagakure and Konoha five years ago, and the benefits it brings are also higher.
And compared to the Fourth Kazekage and everyone in Sunagakure Village who don't know how to advance or retreat, Orochimaru is more aware of current affairs and will tell the truth directly when they meet...
The Fifth Hokage of Konoha looked at the two siblings who depended on each other, put on a heavy expression and said: "I'm sorry, because of the old alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure, we can provide you with shelter..."
