Started as a worker from Hokage

Naruto Office.

The dome building at the center of the entire Konoha Village.

An Anbu ninja knelt on the ground on one knee, speaking mechanically, and reported the latest news to the old man sitting at the desk: "Master Naruto, there is news from the second security area, near the No. 9 training ground. There was a violent vibration..."

"Um."

The third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi was wearing a bamboo hat, smoking a pipe nonchalantly, looking down at a stack of papers in his hand, as if he didn't care much about Anbu's report, and said casually: "I remember that the No. 9 training ground is assigned to the Anbu training class training ground..."

Dark training course.

Anbu training class is nominally under the name of Anbu.

However, most of the Anbu personnel know that the Anbu training class is the root organization of Shimura Danzo, and in fact the root organization has far exceeded the establishment of a class.

"yes."

Anbu Ninja responded and continued to report: "Observed from a distance, a forest appeared in the No. 9 training ground in a short period of time..."

"oh?"

The Third Hokage was still smoking a pipe, and was still carefully flipping through the stack of papers in his hand: "This situation sounds familiar..."

"yes."

The Anbu ninja quickly lowered his head and explained to his superior: "Tenzo, who was transferred to Anbu by Naruto-sama not long ago, released a wooden escape named [Mu Dun · Birth of the Sea of ​​Trees] in the Anbu training ground. Ninjutsu created a sea of ​​trees in a short period of time, and it is initially suspected that someone used the same wood escape ninjutsu in the No. 9 training ground."

"Well, there's no need to investigate in detail."

The Third Hokage nodded, still not paying much attention to it, still looking at the stack of papers in his hand: "I have known about this for a long time. Kagesuke has already told me."

Obviously.

The Third Hokage lied to his subordinates.

After all, not long ago, I mobilized Anbu personnel to surround the root, and with a aggressive posture ready to suppress the root, I snatched a wooden escape blood ninja from Danzo's command...

Now that I know that there is another Mudun blood ninja under Danzo's command, should I dispatch Anbu to surround the root and snatch the second Mudun blood ninja?

this kind of thing...

But once and never again.

Especially since the last time is still short, if I do the same thing to Shimura Danzo in a short period of time, it will inevitably make Danzo feel dissatisfied and resentful.

If that ninja Mudun Xueji has a good talent, I can just find another opportunity to transfer him to Anbu in the future, so I don't have to get angry with Danzo at this time.

Konoha needs Danzo to deal with some dark troubles.

The ninja world is still not peaceful, and the ninja villages of the big countries are still fighting openly and secretly, and the secret operations of spying, sneaking, assassination and snatching have never stopped;

The interior of Konoha is not stable. Among them, the Uchiha clan, the strongest wealthy ninja family, is ambitious, and the conflict with the village is increasingly intensified, and conflicts may break out at any time;

These things…

Shimura Danzo is needed to help deal with it.

but…

Danzo must now be given a warning.

Let Danzo know that he has been watching his every move.

Now Danzo must put away any thoughts he shouldn't have, and he can't have the courage to repeat the assassination of Hokage a few years ago just because he has another Mutun ninja under his command.

that old friend...

Narrow-minded but timid as a mouse...

Once a flaw is caught, it will be scared to get into the sewer.

"alright."

"There is no need to talk about this again."

"The most important thing now is the Chunin exam in the village in the second half of the year."

The Third Hokage is still flipping through the stack of papers in his hand, which is the registration form for the Chunin Exam for the second half of the year in Konoha Village, which is the most important assessment in the entire Konoha Village.

The significance of the Chunin Exam is to select talents.

There are a large number of ninjas in Konoha Village. These ninjas are the basis for maintaining the village's acceptance of low-level ninja missions. Life.

However, the nature of Chunin is different.

If a genin gets excellent grades in the chunin exam and is promoted by the village to become a zhongnin, it is equivalent to having a regular job to choose from.

Zhongnin can perform lucrative B-level combat missions, and can also work in certain departments in the village, and even have the opportunity to enter Anbu.

The Chunin Exam is Konoha's highest level unified examination.

Konoha holds two chunin exams every year, and occasionally co-hosts with other zhongnin villages. Without exception, the pass rate of each chunin exam is very low.

Since the end of the third war in the ninja world, the ninja world has entered an era of peace, and the Chunin Exam has taken on a new meaning. It has become an important occasion to show off Konoha's national strength.

The financial income of Konoha Village mainly comes from the daimyo of the country of fire and the tasks entrusted by ninjas.

The fire country daimyos often come to watch the Chunin exams to decide whether to increase or decrease financial support; other small country daimyos or nobles will also come to judge whether to hand over high-level entrusted tasks to Konoha.

Other than that...

The most important thing, of course, is to deter the allies who attract Konoha.

Generally speaking, the small ninja villages are the allies that the ninja villages of the five major countries strive for. The ninja villages often compare the national strength of the ninja villages of each big country, and then choose to join the stronger ninja village.

The Chunin Exam is undoubtedly the place where Xiaonin Village can most directly observe Konoha's national power in the peaceful era, which also makes Konoha have to pay more attention to the Chunin Exam.

"Are all the registration forms for the Chunin Exam here?"

The Third Hokage slowly put down the pipe in his mouth, and suddenly asked, "Did Uchiha Itachi apply for the Chunin Exam by himself?"

"Yes."

Anbu Ninja nodded and explained: "According to the information we checked, two years ago, Uchiha Itachi's teammates were all killed in a mission..."

"Since then, Uchiha Itachi has never participated in the formation of a team, and almost no longer participated in the implementation of commissions. Naturally, he has no teammates who participated in the Zhongnin Exam..."

"but…"

"In the past two years, Uchiha Itachi has been training with Uchiha Shisui, and even assisted Uchiha Shisui to complete the collaborative assessment task..."

"Even if the assessment task was interrupted, we can still judge him as an excellent ninja, and he is capable of completing the Chunin test alone."

"The only thing that is not fair is the three-person cooperative battle assessment."

"There have been many precedents in the village."

"For example, when Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, the teammates of the dark troop leader Kakashi Hatake, took part in the Chunin exam, due to the lack of teammates for the three-person cooperative battle assessment, even if Kakashi Hagi in the same class had already become a Chunin , is still judged to be able to assist two teammates to participate in the three-person cooperative battle assessment of the last part of the Zhongnin Exam..."

"However…"

"Itachi Uchiha's only teammate is Shisui Uchiha, so it's a little bit..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The Third Hokage laughed and interrupted his subordinates, waved his hands and said, "That would be too much bullying these children, and it would make this exam a joke."

"yes."

After Anbu Ninja nodded, he raised his head and looked at the old man, and continued to add: "However, Uchiha Itachi is indeed capable of passing all the exams alone. Uchiha Shisui mentioned that Uchiha Itachi's performance in every training outstanding…"

"Okay, let's do it this time!"

The Third Hokage nodded, and seemed to say unintentionally: "Kakashi, Tenzo, you go to the Anbu training class to send a registration form..."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Two figures wearing masks stood up quickly!

The Third Hokage looked at one of them, and his eyes became a little sharp: "Go and tell Danzo, let the kid with the Mudun come to take the Chunin Exam!"

Please collect it!

Tomorrow should have a chance to test the waters...
