Naruto Puppet Master

"This~~~~~" After hearing what the Third Hokage said, everyone who was hesitant at first became excited.

After all, in their view, there is no absolutely safe place in this dangerous world, let alone a safe mission. Therefore, although everyone knows that a mission that can attract the attention of the Red Sand Empire will definitely be a very serious matter. It is a dangerous and very important matter, but at the same time it is the safest situation to be noticed and protected by the Red Sand Empire.

Therefore, everyone sitting here was naturally moved when they heard that the Red Sand Empire would intervene to protect the selected genius.

Even those elite ninjas who were born as civilian ninjas but are good at it now hope that their outstanding children can fight!

They who come from lower-class backgrounds know better that if they want to get anything without a life background, they must first pay more before they can get anything in return.

And in today's world, what could be better than setting up a line with the Red Sand Empire.

Not to mention the protection arranged by Zeng Nuo of the Red Sand Empire, even if there is no protection, these people who understand the hardships of the world may push their descendants to come up under the slogan of responding to the Red Sand Empire.

"In other words, although the risk is high, the key still lies in how much protection the Red Sand Empire can provide!" The old Nara patriarch thought in his mind: "Originally, I planned to take a photo of a young man with good potential and strength, but now I have It’s a pity.”

The old Nara patriarch, who is famous for his wisdom and calm mind in the Leaf Village, clearly saw the pros and cons after the Third Hokage finished speaking, but he himself also knew that this opportunity was to select a genius, not a team, and The Nara clan, no, the Inar, Deer, and Butterflies clan, any clan's strength alone is fragile compared to those of the real geniuses of the big clans.

Even though the training materials related to the temple have supplemented the accumulation of the three clans, the countless years of mutual support and cooperation have not only made the clansmen and secret techniques of the three clans stronger when they cooperate, but also made any one of the three clans more powerful. They are basically inseparable from the help of the other two tribes.

Without the collaborative assistance of similar secret techniques from the other two races, the ninjas of the three races all have fatal weaknesses to some extent.

Moreover, the children under the age of ten were selected, which means that the tasks must have been arranged and the process has been arranged, and there is no need for life intelligence.So this time I am afraid that the three tribes will have no chance.

"We must send the best disciples up." When the old Nara clan leader was thinking about it in his mind, the other clan clan leaders were not stupid either. They almost all figured out the pros and cons.

"A good opportunity requires the ability to save lives, a young age, and a talent. Xiao Li is very suitable for this opportunity!" Mike Kay, standing in the corner of the crowd, thought to himself.

"But now Xiao Li may still be a little weak to the geniuses from other big families. He just doesn't know when the so-called selection will start."

Thinking of this, for the sake of the recently accepted disciple, Mike Kay immediately stood up and said loudly: "Hokage-sama, if the so-called selection is not how, when will it start?"

"Well, it's Akai!" The Third Hokage heard the sound and looked at the tall young man who spoke and said harmoniously.

"Haha, it's rare for you to be so enthusiastic, Kai. I remember that you don't seem to have any direct relatives!"

"Akai, you already have a girlfriend, do you have any in-laws to arrange for?" the Third Hokage said jokingly.

"Uh hahaha~~~~~"

"Did Akai really find a girlfriend?"

"At this age, it's time to find someone, but I recommended it to him before, but he still refused. I thought Akai was concentrating on martial arts and physical skills, but I didn't expect that he had already found someone secretly."

"No, no, everyone misunderstood." Mike Kai, who was joking for everyone, said with a blushing face: "It's a disciple, a disciple, not a girlfriend. I just accepted a close disciple that I like today, so that's why Just ask."

"Oh! Is it true? You're really not your girlfriend?" Seeing the overwhelmed Akai, the Third Hokage chuckled.

"Of course it's true." After speaking, Mike Kai grabbed Kakashi beside him and said, "Kakashi has also seen it. He can testify for me! He is really a disciple and not a girlfriend."

"Then you can't go out and spread rumors!"

Seeing Akai's confused look, Kakashi covered his face with his hands and said speechlessly: "What a shame! Can't you see that the Hokage is making fun of you?"

"Kakashi, speak quickly!" Akai, who was already in a state of nervousness and embarrassment, said eagerly, shaking Kakashi's arm.

Feeling Akai's nervousness, Kakashi could only say under the smiling eyes of everyone: "Yes, Akai has accepted a closed disciple, not a girlfriend."

"Oh, since Kakashi said that, it seems that we have really misunderstood! But the closed disciple that Kai has always wanted has been found today, which is really a happy event!" The Third Hokage said with a laugh.

"Ah! Hahaha, there, there, I have to ask you to take more care of me in the future." After breathing a sigh of relief, Akai, who could faintly feel the crowd joking, said with a silly smile.

"Well, I, Akai, am still too naive and too young. I always do this every time I see them. Sure enough, it is right not to attend the meeting."

"You must come less frequently in the future." Akai thought helplessly.

"Haha! Since Akai cares so much about his disciples, then I won't show off."

"This time the selection will be conducted by ourselves in our village first. In principle, all children under the age of ten can participate, but because of the requirements, I talked with the temple priest and standardized the strength among teenagers. ."

"After all, if you can't even get out of kindergarten, then you can't be considered a genius, and you won't be suitable for anything."

"Therefore, the assessment content is a battle mode and a competitive mode. Those who are eligible to sign up are all teenagers under the age of ten in the village."

"The battle mode is the final selection method to determine the best winner, while the competitive mode is the primary selection mode to test the survival and life-saving abilities of all contestants."

"And because the Red Sand Empire's age requirement is that the younger the better, so we don't need to compete to the end, we only need the first and second places."

"In the final selection, if there is not much difference in chakra energy cultivation between the first and second remaining ones, then we will directly choose the younger one."

Swallowing, the Third Hokage took a sip of the drink in his hand and waited for everyone to digest what he said before he said: "As for the time, it will be held the day after tomorrow. We will try to select the candidate within five days."

"So urgent!" Hinata Hizu said with a frown.

 "Well, if there's no rush, I won't notify you overnight." The Third Hokage put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "This selection is not only being urged by the Red Sand Empire, but more importantly, it is not only The selection is for our Konoha ninja village, but is a simultaneous audition for the three major ninja village bases on the mainland."

"So while we are doing internal selection, the Raikage and Tsuchikage are also seizing the time to select. After all three of us have selected, we will have to conduct a comparative selection among the seeds selected by the three parties. "

"So there is no rush. Only by selecting them as soon as possible can we have extra time to provide resource assistance to our seed players and strengthen their strength."

"When will the Red Sand Empire ask for it?" Hinata Hizu continued to ask.

"Fifteen days, the Red Sand Empire requires us three parties to select candidates within ten days." The Third Hokage said solemnly.

"It's only half a month, this is too urgent! Even if we are selected, it will only take ten days to cultivate. What can we do in ten days?" Hinata Hizashi said in disbelief.

You know, he was planning to let his son Neji attend just now!

"Yeah! It's too urgent."

"There is no way! What the Red Sand Empire requires is this."

The Third Hokage said helplessly: "So I called everyone here today just to tell you this matter personally. At the same time, if you are willing to let your relatives and nephews in the family participate, please bring their latest information as soon as possible! We will try to do it tonight Let’s finalize the registration ranking.”

"If you want to register, please come here and write down the applicant's information. We will try to confirm it tonight and start the assessment directly tomorrow." On one side, two Hokage consultants, Mito Kadeni, and two subordinates were holding a stack of The blank document came over.

The next moment, after listening to the words of the Third Hokage, everyone walked up one after another without many levels under the gaze of Mito Kadoyan and others.

“Swish~~~~”

In the empty hall, people wrote out registration forms from time to time, and then ANBU ninjas came forward to take the registration forms and go out to check the information.

"This time we must select the strongest genius." Looking at the people writing rapidly, the Third Hokage, knowing that everyone is trying their best to apply for the qualified children of the clan, is looking forward to it.

"Hokage-sama, I remember that there are many good seeds in some declining families. Don't they need to consider signing up?" Mike, who had written down Xiao Li's information, walked over and said hesitantly.

"Haha, Akai! Don't worry! I won't let go of those potential geniuses. I have already reported them in advance, and now the news should also be notified to them."

The Third Hokage said happily: "In recent years, because the Red Sand Empire has developed countless training resources for a fee through the temple, many geniuses have emerged in our Konoha Village! And the ones who are really hidden the most are the ninjas present. They themselves The overall strength will be strong, and there will be more resources at our disposal, so we will naturally get more from the temple in the end."

"So the main goal today is to fish out the hidden geniuses of these ninjas." Akai, who seemed to understand what the Third Hokage meant, thought thoughtfully as he looked at the excited clan leaders who were still writing rapidly.

~~~~~~~

On the other side, Aburame Shisun, who had returned to his home, was just about to go to bed when he heard the parents of the dead man downstairs shouting: "Shisun, there are ANBU looking for you."

"Well, there is an ANBU looking for me at this time." Hearing this, Aburame Shizun put down the clothes in his hands and turned around and walked downstairs.

"It seems that there are clues to that matter!"

"Boom boom boom~~~~~~"

Accompanied by the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps stepping on the wooden board, Shizun Aburame, who was wearing pajamas, came downstairs. At this time, an ANBU dressed in black robes and strong clothes was already standing in the living room waiting.

Seeing the ANBU's waiting, Aburame Shison felt much relieved.To know when an ANBU will wait for someone, one of them must appear directly in front of the person.

As for whether he infiltrated or not, no one cared at all, that is, no one would wait for him until Aburame Shisun was here.

Thinking of this, Aburame Shizun felt very proud of how he had indulged the Golden Beetle several times.

"Hmph, if I hadn't kept golden beetles around me several times in the name of protecting against monsters, these Anbu who don't understand what privacy is now can be so well-behaved and understand the rules. Based on this, all Konoha people should be Just thank me."

"I am Aburame Shisun, what's the matter?" Aburame Shisun, who had been unfriendly to ANBU since he first discovered that he was being spied on, asked directly.

"This is Hokage-sama's mission document." In response to Aburame Shison's rudeness, the ANBU in front of him did not have any fluctuations and directly handed a mission document to Aburame Shison.

"Oh! I'm a teenager, not yet an adult. I'm legally qualified to refuse all tasks. Hokage-sama would actually arrange a task for us. I want to see what it is." After saying that, Aburame Shizun opened the result document Looked up.

"Clatter~~~~" He opened the thick document and Aburame Shizun read it carefully.

Ten seconds later, Aburame Shisun closed the document and said calmly to the ANBU waiting in front of him: "I understand, please report back to Hokage-sama, I will be there on time tomorrow."

Hearing this, the ANBU nodded and disappeared directly in the white mist using the teleportation technique.

"Well, the plan is going well. I'm leaving soon. Please be careful here in Konoha Village." After seeing the ANBU leave, Aburame Shizono said coldly and majestically with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, Master, I will take care of the arrangements here later." Two dead men pretending to be his parents stood behind Aburame Shison and said respectfully.

"Well, now that the plan has been completed, let the chess pieces outside send back the collected information as soon as possible." Aburame Shison added the instructions.

"Yes, my subordinates will notify them immediately and ask them to send back the latest intelligence information immediately." The dead man pretending to be his father responded in a deep voice.

"Um"

At the same time, within a similar period of time, countless talented civilian ninja families or descendants of declining ninja families in Konoha Village received mission letters from the Third Hokage.

Although the content on it is very similar, it clearly states that the best genius will be selected. Although the reason for the selection is not disclosed, the selected person will compete with the geniuses from the other two major ninja village bases, and the final selection will be made. A true genius went to complete an important task for the Red Sand Empire, but it was clearly written down.

At this moment, I didn't know that all the families who received the Hokage's documents, whether parents or children, were in a state of excitement and couldn't sleep.
