Hundred Years of Hokage

Among the new generation of ninjas in Konoha.

Nara Shikamaru's IQ was unique. He had already planned his own way to win. It was a shortcut that most people would not choose.

For Shikamaru, the simplest way was enough to achieve his goal.

He is not like other newcomers who pursue glory under the spotlight. He just wants to satisfy the expectations of his teachers and family while living a lazy life.

Compared with other people, a person who is active in the forest to catch bugs every day is a bit pitiful, because his teammates and teachers can't help.

Fortunately, he still has relatives.

In the dense bushes, a young man wearing a windbreaker crouched inside, carefully stretched out his fingers, and crawled the insects on the grass blades to his hands.

When the little bug was completely attracted by him and crawled into his palm, the young man's expression gradually softened: "I'm lucky today..."

"Shino, it's not realistic to win the Chunin Exam with just these forest bugs..."

A man wearing an eyepatch suddenly turned over and jumped down from the tree, appeared next to the boy, and threw him two small cylindrical cages: "Look at these, I caught them from the seaside. Are you satisfied?"

"Well?"

Aburame Shino quickly put away the small cage, raised her head and stared at the man who suddenly appeared, a little confused: "Brother Togen, are the Anbu on vacation?"

"I should say, I'm on vacation."

This man wearing an eyepatch and wrapped tightly around his body is Shino Aburame's cousin Aburame Takine, and the two of them are also childhood friends.

It's just that there are nano-level poisonous insects in the body of Younu Qugen, and his body cannot have any contact with other people, otherwise the person who touches it will be poisoned immediately.

The department that Aburame Tune really entered was not the ANBU.

He was affiliated with the Roots under Shimura Danzo.

Due to Shimura Danzo's repeated missteps during this period, he attempted to target Team 7 twice but failed. The second attempt was even noticed by Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha.

Jiraiya revealed these things to the Third Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not kill him because of his kindness, but he also put Shimura Danzo in confinement and no one was allowed to visit.

As Danzo's subordinate, Aburame Takene had a long vacation.

He was half leaning against the tree and raised the topic: "I heard that there are many powerful newcomers emerging from the Chunin Examination..."

"Ah."

Aburame Shino also didn't shy away from it: "Some people are even so powerful that they can make people suffocate."

For example, the battle between the red-haired Sunagakure boy and Uzumaki Naruto was a scene that even newcomers like them could not imagine.

"Shino is also very powerful."

Aburame Tonine watched Shino put away the bugs and praised softly: "Being able to advance to the main draw of the third exam..."

"Don't dare to say it lightly."

Aburame Shino shook her head and said solemnly: "To be honest, I don't think I can beat my opponent in the second round. I can only take one step at a time."

"It's normal."

Aburame Takene didn't mind her cousin's discouragement: "Even I have heard about Uzumaki Naruto's achievements. That little guy is indeed very strong."

It should be said that it is very strong!

Aburame Takene knew a lot of information, and he also knew that the roots suffered heavy losses, especially the jounin and jounin who suffered most of the casualties. These were all because of Uzumaki Naruto.

Shino Aburame shook her head hesitantly and said, "According to my understanding, you would never say this."

"Maybe it's because of worry."

Aburame Tori crossed her arms and said softly: "I have no way to watch the main round of the Chuunin Examination, and I have no way to help you practice..."

His body is full of poison, even the insects of Aburame Shino can be poisoned. The training between the two people can easily cause heavy losses to Aburame Shino.

"No, I'm very happy that you can come."

Shino Aburame took a deep breath and waved the small cage in her hand: "Besides, you have already helped me."

After they separated many years ago, they actually haven't seen each other for a long time.

Oil Girl Qugen couldn't help but smile when she heard the words. Since joining Root, smiling is an expensive luxury for him.

Aburame laughed for a while, then suddenly changed her subject and asked softly: "Shino, how is your relationship with Uzumaki Naruto?"

"…fine?"

Aburame Shino recalled that when he was in the ninja school, his relationship with Uzumaki Naruto could only be said to be okay. At some point, they were even students who broke discipline together.

After all, Uzumaki Naruto made Aburame Shino understand that the bugs he raised in his body had other uses...

For example, scare girls.

time flies.

Daimyos and officials from the Land of Fire, and leaders from other small shinobi villages came one after another. The most important task should be Rasa, the fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure Village.

His appearance means that the alliance between Sunagakure Village and Konoha is strong.

The Fourth Kazekage came to Konoha on the eve of the Zhongnin Exam, probably because of the problem of Gaara's one-tailed Tsuru running away in Gaara's body, and Luo Sha arrived at Konoha earlier than expected.

Naruto upstairs.

The top brass of Konoha believe that the Fourth Kazekage brings peace.

When they mentioned the specific matters of the Chunin Exams, the Fourth Kazekage even had some apology on his face: "We admit that the One-Tail Jinchuuriki will lose control. Fortunately, someone defeated Gaara in the preliminaries and prevented him from losing control. We have lost face in front of our great names..."

"It's ok."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very open-minded: "As a member of the alliance, we will also provide the Sunagakure Village with the help we can..."

"Grateful."

Rasa nodded humbly and suddenly changed the topic: "But as far as I know, the little guy who defeated Gaara should also be Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen touched his pipe, but he did not answer.

Because Uzumaki Naruto's identity was not hidden, all well-informed ninjas in the ninja world knew about it, and the Fourth Kazekage was no exception.

The problem is that Sunagakure Village should be affiliated with Konoha, but he still knows everything about Naruto.

The alliance between the two countries still exists. What is the purpose of Sunagakure Village raising the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki at this critical moment?

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on his pipe and continued in a deep voice: "Please tell me if you have anything to say, Mr. Kazekage. Everything we do is for everyone to be able to hold the exam safely."

"I think Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki should be banned from appearing in the third main examination..." The Fourth Kazekage's words sounded quite far-sighted. He glanced at the people present and said softly: "In order to protect the famous names of various countries. To ensure the safety of the leader of the Ninja Village, we must prepare in advance to avoid the tailed beast going berserk.

"Lord Fengying."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him and continued in a deep voice: "There is something I need to remind you. Uzumaki Naruto defeated Sunagakure Village head-on as a Jinchūriki, and the seal in his body has always been golden..."

"Say it straight!"

The Fourth Kazekage tapped his finger on the tea cup and said bluntly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. We are just worried that if something goes wrong, our mission for the new year..."

"Ok?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi forgot to glance at Luo Sha in surprise, and said softly: "After the Ninja World War is over, can Sand Hidden Village still receive missions?"

If he remembers correctly, since Hidden Sand Village was defeated in Kikyo Mountain in the third Ninja World War, the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Winds has basically left large-scale tasks to Konoha...

The Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but laugh: "..."
