Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking through the lists of participants submitted by the five invited ninja villages.

In addition to the 30 people from Sand Village and the 21 people from Rain Village, the Kusagakure Village, Takigakure Village and Sound Village each sent 6 people.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen really hopes to conduct the joint Chunin Exam successfully.

Because Konoha had suffered many disasters before, although it gradually recovered, many mission commission orders were divided up by the surrounding ninja villages.

Especially the Otogakure Village. Although the Otogakure Village and Konoha have a close cooperative relationship now, they are also competitors. The reward for mission entrustment in the Otogakure Village is cheaper than that in Konoha, and the efficiency is higher. Many people are more willing to go to the Otogakure Village to post missions.

Many people from other countries without ninja villages will also come to watch the joint Chunin Exam this time. As long as they can see Konoha's strength and power, Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that a large number of mission commission orders will return to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen focused on the list of participants from the Sand Village. He looked down on the list of participants from other ninja villages, even the 21 participants from the Rain Village.

To be honest, even the recently very popular Otogakure Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't take it seriously.

After all, Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages. In his opinion, only the Sand Village, which is also one of the five major ninja villages, is qualified to be Konoha's opponent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Sand Village, and then find a way to curb the development of the Sand Village, so that the Sand Village could only rely on Konoha to survive and completely solve his worries.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the three people on the list of the Sand Village, his eyes narrowed.

Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara.

The three children of Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village.

It seems that among these thirty people, the strength of these three should be the strongest among all the Sand Ninja Genin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the registration list of his village and saw two names on it. He immediately felt relieved.

One is Uzumaki Naruto.

Kakashi said that Uzumaki Naruto is definitely at the level of a Chunin now, and with the guidance of Minato Namikaze, it should be enough to deal with these three Genin.

The other one is Hyuga Neji.

Neji Hyuga's water breathing sword form has also come to light. He should be the strongest among the Genin, perhaps even stronger than the current Uzumaki Naruto.

Although Hyuga Neji is Chiba's disciple, with the caged bird seal in place, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not worried at all that Hyuga Neji will cause any trouble.

Konoha definitely has the largest number of participants. Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that this time the joint Chunin Exam is still quite stable. As long as they perform their best, the five participating ninja villages will be stepping stones for Konoha, announcing to the ninja world that Konoha is still the same powerful Konoha.

After thinking about the Chunin Exams, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to think about Namikaze Minato.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is considering whether to give some power to Namikaze Minato after the Chunin Exam.

If he didn't delegate power to Minato Namikaze, the others would definitely have some opinions. After all, he is old now, while Minato Namikaze is in his prime and his health has recovered quite well.

"We'll talk about it later. When the time comes, we can give some unimportant powers to Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table.

An Anbu appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "How is Danzo doing lately?"

The Anbu reported, "Danzo-sama has been staying in the Root base recently and has not made any moves."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Ever since the Uchiha incident disbanded the Root, Danzo has been staying in the Root base and has never come out again.

Although those Root Ninjas were scattered in various departments, they still obeyed Danzo's orders. After all, they had received training in "eliminating themselves" and were only loyal to Danzo. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen could not change their minds.

However, Danzo has been quite well-behaved in recent years, so Sarutobi Hiruzen did not let Danzo leave the Root Base, so the Root Base still belonged to Danzo.

But Danzo had a long history of bad deeds, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that Danzo might do something secretly, so he also arranged Anbu ninjas in the Root base.

This joint Chunin Exam is very important for Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen always has a bad feeling in his heart, so he sent more Anbu ninjas to the Root base.

I thought it would cause dissatisfaction from Danzo, but I didn't expect Danzo to have no reaction at all.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen also went to see Danzo several times, but Danzo always treated him indifferently, as if saying one more word to him would be redundant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "You still resent me. After the Chunin Exams are over, just restore your Root."

...

Time passes day by day.

Soon a week had passed.

Chiba, along with the Seven Sound Ninjas led by Uzumaki Aonagi, left the Sound Village and headed for Konoha.

At this time, Chiba and Uzumaki Aonagi had already disguised themselves and had completely transformed into another person.

Qianyu explained: "From now on, my name is Ara Yoshinori, Aonagi's name is Lu Mingyue, and Orochimaru's name is Yakidatsu. Don't call us by the wrong names. The three of us are quite famous in Konoha. If you call us by our names, we might be exposed. So from now on, call us by this name."

Kaguya-kunmaro and the others responded, "We understand, Arayoshi no Miyabi."

Qianyu nodded with satisfaction.

Chiba continued, "Kimimaro, Jūgo, and Lu Mingyue, I am your team leader, Kidomaru, Sakon, and Tayuya, your team leader is Yakidatsu.

Finally, it's Jirobo. You're entering Konoha as a spectator. Before the plan starts, you'll be playing in Konoha by yourself. You like to eat, right? There are a lot of delicious foods in Konoha. You can eat whatever you want, and I'll pay for you."

Jirobo's favorite thing is food. When he heard that he could eat as much as he wanted, his eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, Lord Ara Yoshinori!"

"Okay, let's go meet up with Mr. Yakido next."

When Chiba and his group arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, Orochimaru finally appeared and met them.

Qianyu asked: "How is it, Mr. Yaqita? Is everything ready?"

When Orochimaru heard Chiyu calling him Yaqita, he was not quite used to it and was stunned for a moment.

Then Orochimaru reacted and replied: "Well, everything is ready. The Sand Village is now under my control. The Jinchuriki of the Sand Village will also participate in this Chunin Exam. If the situation is not right at that time, I will plan to release the One-Tail."

Orochimaru, who now possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, can also control the tailed beasts.

Qianyu nodded: "Okay, then let's set off and head to Konoha!"

Chiba and Orochimaru, along with Uzumaki Aonagi and his group, once again entered the Land of Fire.
