No longer caring about Luo Sha, Ye Lan returned to the monitoring room and saw Shikamaru staring at the monitoring screen.

"You're back so soon, Senior Ye Lan, where are Sasuke and the others?"

Shikamaru spotted Ye Lan and walked up to him and said.

"They should still be involved in the rescue. What's going on here?"

Ye Lan began to observe the surveillance footage. Most of them were destroyed by the sandstorm. The few remaining surveillance footages showed that the candidates had almost returned to their exam state.

"Four candidates are missing, and only the bodies of seven others were found. The loss is not particularly great."

Shikamaru said while holding the statistical report that this loss was acceptable for the Chunin Exam.

A few candidates from Konoha, Sunagakure and even Kirigakure who were just there for the exam did not appear on this list, and even if they were to be rescued, they would be treated differently.

Seeing that Ino, Sakura and others were brought back to a safe place by Sasuke, Ye Lan felt relieved.

"Gaara, there's still no news, have you found any trace of him on the surveillance?"

The most likely place Gaara went after disappearing was the examination hall. This sandstorm was probably set up by those in Sunagakure who opposed him becoming the Kazekage.

"No, it's too easy for Gaara to avoid being discovered in this environment."

Shikamaru is quite familiar with Gaara's abilities. Although sandstorms may be dangerous to others, they are another kind of enhancement for Gaara.

"Don't worry about Gaara. Our main task is to ensure that the exam goes smoothly."

Seeing that there was no longer any danger in the examination room, Ye Lan gave an order and left the monitoring room.

"Really? These jonin are obviously hiding something from me. I can't make the best judgement without any information."

Shikamaru couldn't help but complain in his heart as he watched Ye Lan leaving. He actually wanted to apply to become a Jonin.

The sky gradually darkened, and as night fell, the temperature in the Kingdom of Wind began to drop. The breeze that blew was no longer as hot as it was during the day, and became somewhat cool.

Ye Lan sat on a city wall of the Sand Village, looking up at the sky and observing the twinkling stars in the sky.

Maybe a certain star is your hometown.

"Uchiha Yelan, Sand Village hasn't even chosen a Kazekage yet, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Luo Sha appeared beside Ye Lan wearing a cloak and wandered around for a while. Luo Sha was deeply worried about the current situation of Sand Village.

He didn't want to be Konoha's little brother in the first place, that's why he joined forces with Orochimaru. Now the village is in the same situation as before, or even worse, so it's inevitable that he's a little bit out of control.

"Even if I tell you, what's the use? Are you going to go back to being the Kazekage now?"

Ye Lan withdrew his thoughts and spoke to Luo Sha indifferently.

What does the life and death of Sunagakure have to do with him? He is not a high-ranking official in Konoha and does not need to consider these things.

Luo Sha was choked by Ye Lan's words and was speechless. He was already a dead man and shouldn't worry about these things.

However, some rumors in the village made him a little frightened. After calming down, he still asked.

"Are the rumors about Sunagakure true? Will Gaara be the next Kazekage?"

Ye Lan could hear something unusual in Luo Sha's words. Luo Sha's feelings towards his son were extremely complicated. It would be more accurate to say that he hated him rather than cared about him.

Gaara was his tool to become the Kazekage. The Kazekage's voice would certainly be greatly increased if he could control the Jinchūriki. When Rasa was in power, he also implemented a dictatorship.

They don't care about the emotional problems of their children at all.

Maybe you will feel a little guilty during your free time, but it will only last for a moment. And you will forget about these things in your busy life.

"Otherwise, why would I let you out?"

Ye Lan let Luo Sha see the situation of Sand Village with his own eyes because he wanted him to resolve the doubts he had in his life and just be a tool honestly in the future. It was not that he was merciful and doing good deeds.

"After this is over, I will help you once, and we will owe each other nothing..."

After saying this, Luo Sha disappeared in front of Ye Lan, and no one knew where he went.

Ye Lan had a faint smile on his lips. This was exactly what he wanted.

The Impure World Reincarnation can control his actions but not his thoughts. If Luo Sha wants to slack off, he can just tell his opponent directly about his weaknesses. This will not have any effect on Ye Lan at all.

If thoughts and actions are unified, then Luosha can achieve the greatest effect.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time to come back..."

Maki and the others had returned a long time ago. When they heard that Gaara was missing, they wanted to send people to look for him, but the Chunin Exam was still going on and they couldn't spare any manpower, so they could only worry.

It was not until late at night that Ye Lan saw a figure appear on the horizon.

The iconic figure with the gourd on his back is Gaara.

When Gaara arrived in front of the village, he consciously looked up, but there was no one on the city wall.

"So you guys didn't help at all, and it was up to Neji to take care of Gaara's assassin?"

Ye Lan said as he looked at Kai and others who had already returned. At this moment, he had returned to his room. Kai and others rushed back after Gaara returned to the village.

"We went too late. When we arrived, Neji and his team had already dealt with the assassin."

Kai touched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly that he didn't expect that he and others were still a step late and were directly dealt with by his own students.

Their actions were simply unnecessary.

Ningji's growth is indeed amazing, but it also shows that the opponent's assassin level is too low. He was directly solved by several ninjas who were still Genin. Ye Lan thought they were some powerful characters.

It seems that the talent of Sand Village has completely declined, otherwise they would not have let the Jinchūriki serve as the Kazekage.

"Dear guests of Konoha, Lord Gaara asked me to inform you to attend a meeting regarding the Chunin Exams."

A ninja from Sunagakure came to Ye Lan's room, knocked on the door and said.

"Understood, we'll be there soon."

Asuma answered directly to the Sand Village ninja outside the door, and the few of them cleaned up the hall where they went to the Sand Village meeting.

When he arrived here, Ye Lan's eyes focused. The person sitting in the main seat was not Maki, who was in charge of the Chunin Exam this time, but Gaara, who had always had no presence in public.

"Everyone, due to some special reasons, we will not hold the third exam."

Gaara spoke directly after seeing that everyone was present. His voice was calmer and more friendly than it was a year ago, and he had shed the image of a killing machine.

"If that's the case, what will happen to the candidates who are promoted to Chunin?"

Shikamaru was surprised. Many of his classmates were taking the exam and he hoped that several of them could become Chunin. He didn't expect Gaara to cancel it just like that.

And Maki, who was in charge of the exam, looked like he was listening to Gaara. What on earth happened?

"Don't worry, I will send the performance of the second round of candidates to each village truthfully. Whether the candidates can be promoted to Chunin depends entirely on the judgment of each village."

Gaara directly stated the solution.

This solution is simple and crude, but the most effective. Shikamaru stopped talking and actually agreed with this matter.

"Ahem, there is one more thing..."

Maki, who had been silent, began to speak at this time.

"After the Chunin Exams, Sunagakure will hold a ceremony to inaugurate the Fifth Kazekage. Guests from other villages can stay and participate."
