People raise Hokage in Yunyin

"Then the Joint Chuunin Examination starts from now on!"

Early in the morning, ninjas from various ninja villages gathered together under the organization of Konoha.

Danzo Shimura was wearing a royal robe and was standing in front of the stage to deliver a speech. His eyes, which were different from those of ordinary people, attracted everyone's attention.

"Are they such evil eyes again..."

Ohnoki looked at those slightly miraculous eyes, not knowing what he thought of, and the expression on his face was very ugly.

"It is rumored that it was a relic given to him by one of Naruto's good Uchiha friends. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know which unlucky Uchiha it is. He will be whipped to death!"

Hibiscus stood aside and held the fire, ignoring the malicious gazes of the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

He didn't know when he left Kumogakure's team and mingled with Tsuchikage alone.

Onoki glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't know why the other party was so familiar. However, considering the meaning of the other party's words, he nodded rather reservedly, showing some expression of approval.

"By the way, Lord Tsuchikage, why didn't Deidara come this time?"

Hibiscus asked pretending to be curious.

"How do you know Deidara?"

Onoki didn't answer, but asked instead. His expression was stern, with a somewhat calm and intimidating aura. Several Iwa ninjas on the side cast their gazes over at the same time, and there was a faint feeling that Hibiscus was caught in the middle.

Yeyue Hibiscus, Onoki has information about this ninja. He is obviously a generation above Deidara. There is no reason to pay attention to a junior or even be familiar with him.

"Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. I was just on a mission last time. I happened to encounter him being chased by Uchiha Shisui of the Akatsuki organization, and I saved his life."

"We hit it off immediately. I think this little brother is very interesting. He has promoted a lot of his artistic views to me. I also suggested that he develop in the direction of Tsuchikage!"

Hibiscus patted her chest, as if she didn't care about the slightly tense atmosphere around her.

'Art? Become a Tsuchikage? ’

Ohnoki thought that Deidara seemed to have changed his personal attitude recently...

Not only did he no longer cause trouble everywhere, he seemed to have truly lofty ambitions. Although he clamored every day to pass the Tsuchikage to him, it was undoubtedly a great improvement.

'But, chase? ’

Ohnoki's brows frowned slightly, he had never heard this from Deidara.

"What's the pursuit you're talking about?"

His tone was slightly gentle, and he looked seriously at the man in front of him who was several generations younger than him.

Hibiscus showed just the right amount of surprise, and then said hesitantly: "Since little brother Deidara didn't tell you the Tsuchikage, then as a person from a foreign village, it's definitely not appropriate for me to say more. I guess it's me who did. You may not believe it either!”

After saying this, he waved slightly to the people nearby, turned his back in front of them, and walked towards the Kumogakure ninja.

Onoki looked at his undefended back, thoughtfully.

‘Is there any purpose in telling me this? In order to make me appreciate it, or simply let me, as a Tsuchikage, have a slight dislike for Akatsuki and Konoha to bias my judgment? ’

'Akatsuki, Uchiha Shisui, Konoha...' Onoki chewed on a few names, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

'If the information is true, then I really have to show your favor...'

The population base of Iwagakure is quite large, but the number of geniuses is really small. Even because of the previous wars, there was a huge talent gap, so that he still had to hold the position of Tsuchikage at such an advanced age.

And with Deidara's talent, there is no doubt that he can serve as a Tsuchikage. If the other party is really saved by Kumogakure's boy...

‘At most, if we meet on the battlefield, I will spare your life! ’

Onoki thought rather arrogantly.

But the first thing is to understand this matter clearly after returning.

Hibiscus shuttled among the crowd, her eyes passing over the faces of "acquaintances".

‘Iwagakure has arrived, Ohnoki and Loess, Kirigakure’s Mizukage Yagura, Oni Tou Mangetsu are here, and there are Ao and Migaki Kisame among the guards? ’

Mu Jin looked at the unique shark face and the extra-large ninja sword muscle behind his back, and didn't understand how things developed like this.

'Sunagakure's attitude has been judged. Kirigakure's Mangetsu has made good friends with me, and even if it doesn't work, there is still a back-up on him. Now I have simply communicated with Iwagakure...'

Hibiscus simply speculated on the situation. In his opinion, this trip to Konoha is not dangerous for Kumogakure and others. If these great ninja villages are abandoned, I am afraid that only Konoha will be with him and others. There is a conflict.

From this point of view, it’s not worth mentioning!

After making a big circle, Hibiscus stood back among her team.

"How's it going? Do you understand all the rules?"

He leaned slightly and asked Naruto who looked serious.

"I basically understand it. Except for the fact that there is no theory test, which is a bit unexpected, everything else is pretty much what you guessed, teacher, except for the slight differences in the rules."

"No theory test?"

Mujin had been paying attention to the people around her before, but she really didn't listen to the chatter of the person on the stage.

"Yes, that Yinyi uncle said that those who came to participate are all people with Chunin qualities, and there is no need to waste time on the theory test. I think this is quite reasonable!"

Naruto held out his thumb and said confidently.

"The rules of the first round are also very simple. We all enter the forest in batches. Each of us has a scroll. As long as we can get three scrolls and reach the destination!"

"If you just want to get three scrolls..."

Hibiscus thought of something.

"Yes, the uncle also deliberately provoked him by saying that for those three-person teams, he was actually qualified to let one person qualify from the beginning."

Naruto also had a weird look on his face. He didn't expect Naruto's heart to be so dirty. Although most people can think of this kind of thing, this kind of blatant provocation...

"But this has nothing to do with us. This simple rule is what suits us best!"

"We will defeat all the teams we encounter and quickly reduce the number of people!"

Naruto and Hibiscus talked about their thoughts.

"Just decide for yourself."

Hibiscus said it didn't matter.

"Now the ninja representatives from each village come up and get the scroll!"

A Konoha ninja shouted loudly on the stage, and some people from several nearby small ninja villages had already approached.

"Then I'm going!"

Naruto said hello to a few people, and a few jumped onto the stage.

"Two Kumogakure!"

He pointed at Xiang Rin under the stage and said to the Konoha ninja.

After taking the scroll, he took a few steps forward and prepared to step off the stage.

Suddenly, Naruto seemed to feel something. He stopped and turned to a young man not far away who had been standing behind the Hokage with his head lowered.

Almost at the same time, the young man also raised his head, revealing his rare gray hair and a pair of brown eyes, with a slight expression on his dull face.

The eyes of the two teenagers interacted in the air for a moment.

Naruto looked at him blankly for a few times, and finally, under the impatient urging of the ninja behind him, he walked down the high platform in a few steps. While walking towards Hibiscus and the others, he looked back at the boy from time to time.

"what happened to you?"

Xianglin took the scroll in Naruto's hand and asked curiously.

"I'm not very sure..." Naruto was a little confused, "I just suddenly felt a familiar feeling."

He scratched his head and comforted his companion who looked concerned.

"It's probably just an illusion. After all, I don't know anyone here."

Hibiscus stood quietly and looked sideways at the boy who was about the same age as Naruto. The super memory brought by the tailed beast transformation allowed him to quickly retrieve memories from the past. After a while, he thought of this person who was slightly familiar to him. .

Is it empty to protect the children of the twelve ninja warriors and horses?

A boy with the remaining Nine-Tails chakra sealed in his body, a being with a similar fate to Naruto from the original time and space.

Although I don’t know why he appears here, but...

From the corner of her eye, Hibiscus watched Sora trot up to Danzo's side, whispering in his ear, feeling the glances from the two of them.

‘That’s pretty good, isn’t it! ’

"Get ready, it's about to start!"

He turned around and patted Naruto on the shoulder. A small stream of chakra flowed onto Naruto's body through the contact between the two, turning into a light silver spot on Naruto's skin.

"Don't worry, we won't lose!"
