Chapter 172 Naruto’s “Cool Plan”! Tsunade and Whitebeard!

"Chunin exams? Will genin from all ninja villages come to take part?"

Such a brand-new vocabulary made Naruto fall into a blind spot of knowledge: "Iruka-sensei, what is this?"

"The genin from each ninja village who have the potential to become chunin will take part in a chunin exam together. It will test their theoretical knowledge, practical ability, temporary adaptability, etc."

Iruka explained: "Finally, some jounin will be rated together to select the most suitable genin and be promoted to chunin."

Naruto was a little confused: "Isn't it possible for a genin to become a chunin without the Chunin Exam?"

"Oh, that's not true."

Iruka continued: "Mizuki-sensei in the ninja school has never taken the chunin exam. He was two years earlier than me and made an exception to become Konoha's chunin."

"Because the Great Ninja War had just ended less than a year ago, and the various ninja villages were still vaguely hostile to each other, there was no way to start this kind of chunin exam."

"It has been several years since the Ninja World War, and the relationship between the various Ninja Villages has also eased a bit."

Iruka paused: "So Hokage-sama decided to restart the chunin exams and invite all the major ninja villages in the ninja world to come to our Konoha. This can be regarded as showing the power of our Konoha village to the outside world."

It turned out to be a Chunin exam led by the Sandaime Hokage.

"Hey, that old man still likes this kind of face-saving project."

Tsunade pursed her lips and muttered: "It would cost at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels to conduct a chuunin exam, right? With so much money to spend randomly, you might as well give it to me..."

If Tsunade was really just an ordinary girl, Iruka would have to argue with the other party when he heard someone speaking ill of the Third Hokage.

After all, in Iruka's eyes, the Third Hokage treated him relatively well.

When he was most disappointed, the Third Hokage came out and gave him a certain amount of encouragement so that he could cheer himself up.

And he successfully graduated from the ninja school. Until now, he has become a chuunin in the ninja school.

But, this is Tsunade-sama.

Ahem...

Tsunade-sama gives a critical review to the Third Hokage-sama...

It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

perhaps?

"Iruka-sensei, haven't you ever taken the Chunin Exam?" Naruto was a little curious.

"Oh! This is not... In fact, just after the Third Ninja War, Konoha held an exam similar to the Chunin Exam. Konoha at that time also called it the Chunin Exam. But at that time The Chuunin Exam is limited to Konoha's own village, and ninjas from other ninja villages are not invited to participate."

Speaking of this, Iruka was a little embarrassed: "So, teacher, I am a Konoha chuunin... I am not particularly valuable. Those who were in the same class as me at that time were all old classmates from Konoha."

"The Chunin Exam..." Sasuke asked, "Iruka-sensei, can we take the Chunin Exam?"

"Huh?" Iruka laughed and shook his head.

"If you want to take the chuunin exam, you have to become a genin first, right? You have just entered school!"

Iruka said helplessly: "How can you freshmen follow the genin..."

At this point, he suddenly paused.

Because, Iruka suddenly remembered that both Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were actually qualified to take the exam.

Of course, in Iruka's opinion, Sasuke is the more reluctant one. Even if he takes the Chunin exam, he will be at the bottom.

But Naruto is different. Naruto can defeat even him, the teacher of the ninja school!

"Can only genin participate?"

Naruto was playing with a chip that had been taken away from the casino.

He gave a thumbs up.

Flick the chip.

The small chip was actually bounced to an altitude of more than ten meters by him.

"Iruka-sensei, how can I become a genin in advance?" Naruto pressed his blond hair that was fluttering gently in the wind. He raised his head and looked directly at Iruka in front of him, with a thick confident smile on his face. : "I want to take the Chunin Exam!"

"Not only will I participate in the name of a ninja, but I will also participate as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division!"

Iruka: "!!!"

"Add me." Sasuke added expressionlessly: "You can only graduate from a ninja school when you are 12 years old. I can't wait that long."

"Huh?" Xiao Li looked left and right. Xiao Li, who was helping Naruto carry a big black money box, was a little at a loss.

Why do you want to graduate early for no reason?

Xiao Li was confused!

"This brat..." Tsunade looked at Naruto with interest: "At first glance, he looks quite aura! It seems that the old man Whitebeard has taught you well!"

"But..." Tsunade looked at Sasuke: "You Uchiha brat, why is your face full of hatred?"

"Tsunade-sama, don't you know?"

Iruka thought that Tsunade returned to the village because of this incident.

"Huh?" Tsunade didn't know why.

"This...thing is a bit complicated." Iruka didn't know how to explain it, because this seemed to reveal Sasuke's scars.

A qualified teacher will not reveal the scars of students.

Iruka thought so.

"There is nothing that cannot be said, because the current Uchiha clan is no different from being destroyed." Sasuke said calmly: "A man named Uchiha Itachi killed almost all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan overnight. .”

"Oh, obviously Uchiha has just suffered this tragedy, and the village is about to conduct a so-called chunin exam." Sasuke smiled coldly: "Maybe in the eyes of some people in the village, the destruction of the Uchiha clan is what they most want to see. Right?"

Being able to tell his tragic experience shows that Sasuke has seen a lot.

Of course, his hatred for Uchiha Itachi would not diminish just because he looked away, but would instead become more intense.

There was even a faint murderous intent permeating the body.

Tsunade:"!!!"

…

Hokage Building.

Inside the office.

"Lord Hokage, Sunagakure Ninja Village, Kirigakure Ninja Village, Takigakure Ninja Village, Otogakure Ninja Village... the eight ninja villages have sent telegrams back to Konoha. They all agreed to send genin from the village to come all the way to our Konoha to participate in the semi-finals The chuunin exams will be held in a few months."

A Konoha Jonin reported: "Except for these eight ninja villages, the other ninja villages have not given us a reply yet. Including Iwagakure Ninja Village and Kumogakure Ninja Village, two of the five major ninja villages, we don't know if they have arrived. Will the time come?"

"Well……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a smoke ring. He pondered for a moment and said, "For the Ninja Villages that have not replied to Konoha, leave a place for them! We must show the big village style of our Konoha Village."

"but……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen poured out the ashes from his pipe: "Does Kirigakure actually have to take part in this chunin exam? I heard that they haven't selected the fifth Kirigakure Mizukage yet."

"Furthermore, the Kirigakure genin who have experienced the blood mist, even if they are young children, are not simple characters. They all fought out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood."

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has a bit of a headache for Kirigakure.

Although the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village has died at the hands of Whitebeard, it is said that Kirigakure Village has begun to gradually cancel the blood mist policy.

But the genin who have gone through the blood mist era can't go back and rewrite the history of the blood mist, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard that the genin of Kirigakure Village had to fight with their classmates when they graduated.

Whoever survives will be the graduated genin.

"If these genin come to take the chunin exam, they might add a bit of blood to this chunin exam."

"That's right." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of something. He frowned and asked, "What is this Otogakure Ninja Village?"

"Lord Hokage, this is a ninja village that was just established some time ago. It is said that it was established by the daimyo of the 'Tian Country' and a very powerful ninja."

The Jonin explained: "Currently, I don't know who that powerful ninja is. I only know that he should be the leader of the Sound Ninja Village."

"That's it!" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly realized.

However, this is the first time since the Third Ninja World War that the Chunin Examinations throughout the entire Ninja World have been restarted.

Even if it is just a new ninja village that has just been established.

As long as the other party is willing to give Konoha face and come to participate in this Chunin Exam, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will also be warmly welcomed.

He attaches great importance to this Chunin Exam.

This not only shows that Konoha has recovered from the war, but also further expands Konoha's influence on the ninja world.

Moreover, holding such a grand event can boost consumption in the village and make the people in the village have a greater sense of belonging to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he had won.

In order to make this Chunin Exam go smoothly, he even went to warn Danzo.

Let Danzo spend this period of time...

Don't make any small moves.

…

evening.

Naruto, Sasuke and Lee temporarily parted ways. Although this was all the money Naruto won through gambling based on luck, Naruto still gave part of it to Xiao Li, which made Xiao Li burst into tears with excitement.

Xiao Li went back alone, and behind Naruto and Sasuke was a disguised Tsunade.

It seemed...Tsunade really didn't want to be discovered by Konoha F4.

She was really tired of those old things.

On the way back, Naruto gently touched his smooth chin and said to Sasuke thoughtfully: "Sasuke, we need to find a way to participate in this chunin exam! I want to see how I compare with ninjas from other ninja villages. Is it strong or weak?"

"And this is also a rare fighting opportunity in the relatively peaceful ninja world today. You may also be able to see the secret techniques from different ninja villages and the limits of blood inheritance."

Naruto muttered: "Maybe we can find a few people who are willing to join the Whitebeard Pirates."

It turned out that he still had this idea.

"But that teacher Iruka said that if we want to take the Chunin exam, we must be genin. At the same time, we need to be recommended by a ninja village leader before we can take the Chunin exam."

Sasuke said: "We need to get a genin protector, and then fill in our names on the genin quota in Konoha Village. Finally, we need the approval of the Sandaime Hokage..."

I'm afraid... no one hopes more than Sasuke to become a chuunin as soon as possible.

The hatred in his heart prompted Sasuke to become stronger quickly.

Until you kill that Uchiha Itachi!

Hearing this...Naruto sighed helplessly.

Because each of these prerequisites is very difficult.

The main reason is that the Chuunin Exams will be in half a month.

If he was given enough time, Naruto felt that he could still operate one hand, but what else could he operate in just half a month?

"You two brats, do you really want to take the Chunin Exam?"

Tsunade hugged Ichima Hirakawa's chest with her arms.

She continued: "If it were during the war, maybe you could really take the Chunin Exam. Because in the ninja world during the war, age is not a concern. Even five-year-old children have to go to the battlefield. .”

"Under such circumstances, geniuses who have become Chuunin before the age of ten are rare, but not unheard of." Tsunade chuckled and gave a bad idea.

"If you can start a ninja war within the ninja world, maybe... you will be able to take part in the chunin exams as an exception."

Naruto:"……"

Sasuke: "..."

"If we had that ability, why would we take the secondary exam? We are capable of hosting an exam ourselves." Naruto muttered.

However, it happened to be at this time.

An idea flashed through his mind.

"Huh?" Naruto thought thoughtfully: "If I am a ninja from another ninja village, and the leaders of other ninja villages recommend me to take the chunin exam, then am I qualified to take the chunin exam?"

"It doesn't seem impossible." Tsunade smiled: "After all, you are Whitebeard's son. Strictly speaking, you are a person without a 'camp' in Konoha."

"At least, your camp does not belong to any ninja village. Unless...you get Konoha's ninja forehead protector one day, then you are indeed a ninja who belongs to Konoha."

"I see!"

Naruto exchanged fists and palms: "Then I have an idea!"

His words made both Tsunade and Sasuke look sideways.

"What can I do?" Sasuke was the first to ask.

"Hey hey hey..."

Naruto smiled slyly and said: "I have a way to obtain the status of a ninja in a ninja village in one fell swoop. Not to mention the status of a genin, I can easily obtain the status of a jounin."

"What I have to do is find a shop that can send a telegram for me, and then send a telegram to a country called Grass Country, so that I can have a temporary genin status."

Sasuke was a little confused.

Because he didn't know what Naruto had experienced.

Sasuke used to not care much about things outside Konoha.

He didn't know that a ninja village had been destroyed by Whitebeard.

Little did he know that the surviving ninjas of that ninja village had completely become vassals of the Whitebeard Pirates.

So, Sasuke can't understand...

This is what Naruto said.

What is the use?

But Tsunade's eyes widened: "You kid, you have some ideas!"

During the conversation...

The three of them have arrived at the temporary base of the Whitebeard Pirates.

You can see that the tents here have almost been packed away.

The whole street seemed a little empty.

Fortunately, there are occasionally a few Uchiha children playing on the road.

It doesn't look so deserted.

"Who are these people?" Tsunade noticed that there were quite a lot of brats at first glance: "Children of Whitebeard?"

"He is an orphan of our Uchiha clan." Sasuke explained coldly from the side. He seemed to have a tendency to develop in a "cold" direction.

The unique middle school period of the Uchiha clan has been evoked in advance.

"……understood."

Tsunade sighed slightly in her heart, the world of ninjas was still as cruel as ever.

She chose not to get involved in ninja affairs and chose to withdraw from this circle, which was definitely the wisest choice.

He looked at Sasuke and then at the group of Uchiha children.

Tsunade thought these brats were quite strong.

What on earth is that old man Sandaime doing?

Why sit back and watch the Uchiha clan be wiped out?

Logically speaking, the entire Konoha Village should be under ANBU surveillance, right? Someone wants to destroy the Uchiha clan, don't the ANBU know? Doesn’t that guy from the Third Generation know?

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

She was not a child. Tsunade was once one of the Sannin of Konoha, but she knew the temperament of those four old guys very well.

Perhaps, they had known for a long time that someone wanted to destroy the Uchiha clan, but they chose to sit idly by and watch such a great ninja clan being wiped out. This was an idea that suddenly popped up in Tsunade's mind. .

The idea is a bit conspiracy-theoretic.

But based on Tsunade's understanding of those four old guys.

This conspiracy theory is very possible.

"Tsk... They are all a bunch of old guys who should have been in coffins long ago. They are tossing and tossing in Konoha every day, excluding dissidents and forming cliques... The Konoha village where my grandfather left is almost going to collapse. It was riddled with wounds from those guys."

Tsunade muttered.

The grandfather she was talking about was actually the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.

"Dad! Daddy!"

Naruto, who returned to the temporary base of the Whitebeard Pirates, went straight to Whitebeard's residence.

The door, which was so heavy that it weighed at least several hundred kilograms, was pushed open by Naruto's hands.

Naruto opened his mouth and shouted to Whitebeard excitedly: "Dad! Sister Tsunade is back. She wants to check your body, dad. She decided to give you the last bit of hidden disease, Heal them all!”

"Huh?" Da Ma Jin Dao, who was sitting on a big chair with a white beard, glanced at Naruto with a drunken look.

"Tsunade?" Whitebeard thought the name was very familiar.

oh! He remembered.

Isn't this the kid who treated him?

Whitebeard still remembers that he once invited her to join the Whitebeard Pirates and make her his daughter.

After all... this is the best "ship doctor" Whitebeard has ever seen in the entire ninja world.

On par with his dimwitted son Marco.

Even Tsunade is better than Marco in terms of medical level.

Whitebeard grabbed a wine jar next to him.

Pouring all the wine inside into his mouth, he laughed loudly and said: "Gu la la la! Are you ready to completely heal my body?"

Both crescent beards were trembling.

"That's really something to look forward to!"

"Goo la la la!"
