I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"The Fifth Kazekage! Could it be that..."

Most of the people present were shocked by the news. It was no secret that Sand Village had not been able to elect a Kazekage, but they did not expect that they would make this decision after this joint exam.

"That's right, the one who will be the Fifth Kazekage is Gaara-sama!"

Maki had already used honorifics at this point, further making the facts clear, and even Asuma and the others were shocked by this decision.

It's not for any other reason. You have to know that Gaara is younger than Ye Lan, and only a little older than Sasuke and others. It's too much of a joke for him to sit in the position of Kazekage at this age.

However, out of respect for their allies, they did not speak. Some of the Sunagakure ninjas could no longer sit still.

"How could Maki Jonin make such a decision? Gaara..."

A Sand Village ninja stood up and wanted to say that Gaara was a monster, but was glared back by Maki.

"teacher."

Gaara did not get angry. He stopped Maki and spoke to the ninja who had doubts about him.

"I know that many people in the village are afraid of me and have some opinions about me, but this appointment was made by the elders after careful consideration, and I believe that under my leadership, Sand Village will become better. In the future, I will cherish every companion who has contributed to Sand Village."

It was hard to imagine that these were the words said by a killing weapon before. Although they were a bit naive, their unwavering determination infected the Sand Village ninjas present.

Ye Lan couldn't help but look at Sasuke who was sitting in the corner. He was about the same age as Sasuke and he really had no idea what he was thinking.

And it seems that Naruto has a good relationship with Gaara. After this Chunin Exam, everyone should be promoted to Chunin, so it seems that only this boy will be a Genin.

Thinking about what Naruto’s expression would be like when he knew this news, Ye Lan couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth begin to slightly curl up.

Naruto's personality is a little bad, but he can always make people laugh, and it is no wonder that Kakashi calls him the most unexpected ninja.

Maki then sent the information on the candidates collected by Sunagakure in the Chunin Exam to the jonin of each village, who passed it on to the village leaders, who then decided whether to allow these candidates to become Chunin.

Ye Lan directly asked Shikamaru to accept the information, and after Gaara said some encouraging words, the rest of the group dispersed.

After the candidates received the news, some were happy while others were sad about the cancellation of the third exam.

The most fortunate class was Neji and his class. In order to rescue Gaara, they had no extra time to collect scrolls. The only scroll they got was also the Scroll of Heaven, which happened to coincide with the scroll they received.

"Teacher Kai, we can become Chunin this time, right?"

After returning to Sand Village, Xiao Li kept asking Gai about the daily scrolls he had collected for the second exam, which made him unsure. Even after getting a positive answer, he still kept asking. It was almost time to return to Konoha the next day, but he still found Gai early in the morning and continued asking questions.

"Brother Ye Lan, how was my performance this time?"

Ino was the same. After seeing Ye Lan, she asked a little embarrassedly.

"Whether you become a Chunin is determined by Lady Tsunade. Even we, as Jonins, cannot make that conclusion."

Ye Lan said truthfully.

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were originally in a good mood became nervous again. Even Xiao Li, who was questioning Kai, looked in Ye Lan's direction.

"But if you guys are still Genin, the other Genin won't be able to advance to Chunin."

After getting Ye Lan's affirmative answer, Ino and others all smiled. Since Ye Lan said so, it was still credible.

bang bang bang-

Fireworks were set off in the sky. The Konoha ninjas who had already put on their backpacks looked back, while the Genin had no idea what was happening.

Sakura asked doubtfully, "Is there any festival in Sunagakure?"

"No, it's the inauguration ceremony for the Fifth Kazekage."

Shikamaru muttered knowing the situation.

"The Fifth Kazekage?"

The Konoha tough guys who were taking the exam were surprised by the news. They didn't expect that they would be able to observe the inauguration ceremony of the Kazekage. Tsunade's inauguration ceremony shocked them for a long time.

"What kind of ninja will it be?"

In Ino's opinion, the distance between the Kazekage and them was still quite far, and she had never paid attention to this aspect at all, so it was inevitable that she was a little curious.

"That's someone you know."

Asuma said, holding a cigarette in his mouth, he never expected that this child would become the Kazekage. This world was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him, as if anything could happen.

"acquaintance?"

The other jonin were a little confused about Asuma's answer, and they had no intention of finding out the answer either. They all stopped to watch the ceremony.

A figure appeared on the rooftop of the Sand Village office building in the distance, but the Kazekage's hat made it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

The figure was not tall. He walked slowly to the edge of the rooftop, put his hands on his bamboo hat, and began his speech before taking office. His voice was calm and gentle, detailing the current predicament of Sunagakure and his determination to lead Sunagakure out of the difficulties.

"This voice is!"

Xiao Li was the first to react, and several others had the same feeling, but they did not associate what happened next with the figure above who took off the Fengying hat and made an announcement.

"From today on, I am the Fifth Kazekage!"

After seeing the faces above clearly, several people were stunned for a moment.

"It is indeed...Gaara."

When a few of them were still feeling smug about becoming Chunin, the other party had already become Kazekage. The shock and impact of seeing this with their own eyes struck everyone to their hearts.

"That's right. Since the establishment of the Ninja Village system, Gaara is the youngest person to become Kage."

Ye Lan said directly that this information completely wiped out the joy in the hearts of several people.

...

In a corner where no light could be seen, a cloaked figure raised his head slightly and looked deeply at Gaara who was giving a speech.

"You really became the Kazekage, Gaara..."

Luo Sha's mood at the moment was not much better than that of several Genin, but he looked at the long-term.

If it weren't for the current situation of Sunagakure, Gaara would never have become the Kazekage no matter what, and the mess of Sunagakure would be even more difficult than when he took over.

"After you become the Kazekage, the road ahead will be more difficult. I hope you can do it."

Luo Sha tightened the hood on his head. He must not let others discover his appearance. The things in his life were over and the future of Sunagakure was no longer his concern.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Sunagakure?"

Temari, who had been on alert, noticed Rasa's sneaky figure and led the team to surround him. All the other jonin who came to Sand Village had registered, and Temari was sure that she had never seen this person.

"Haha, you've grown up. You should assist Gaara well in the future."

Luo Sha only left one sentence, and then turned into a wisp of yellow sand and disappeared.

"Captain, should we continue the pursuit?"

The other team members saw this and asked Temari about it, as they still didn't know what happened.

Thump~

Temari knelt down on the ground. Although she didn't see his face, she would not mistake that voice. It was her father's voice. Why did he say it at this time?
