Chapter 223 The Third Hokage's Artistic "Compromise" With Whitebeard Reappears!

Chapter 223 The art of "compromise" by the Third Hokage to Whitebeard... Obito reappears!

The final winner of the third round of the Chunin Examination was "Naruto Uzumaki". There was no doubt about this result. No one in the entire final field would object to this result.

Because this is what Whitebeard shouted.

The domineering aura that enveloped the entire final field, although very slight, made everyone present feel a sinking feeling.

"This man's aura is still as terrifying as ever... Just a few words can make people's palms sweat uncontrollably."

Hinata Hinata touched the sweat on his palms.

He recalled the night when Whitebeard was at the Hyuga Clan's camp.

That night, Whitebeard's terrifying aura enveloped the entire Hyuga clan's headquarters.

That night, there were no more than ten people in the Hyuga clan who were awake!

"...Hokage-sama seems to be motionless next to Whitebeard." Akimichi Tingza couldn't help but muttered: "This feeling is so strange!"

Akimichi Teiza didn't put his words too harshly.

The euphemistic meaning of his words is - why does Hokage-sama feel like a white-bearded foil? Why didn't he show the feeling that a Hokage should have?

Indeed, except for the few minutes when Sarutobi Hiruzen first came to the finals, he had a slightly beautiful scene and aura.

During the following period, he became like a quail.

All the reasons seemed to be due to the appearance of Whitebeard.

Yamanaka Haiichi and Nara Shikaku, two old partners, naturally knew what Akimichi Choza wanted to say.

Yamanaka Hai thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Maybe... Hokage-sama has his own concerns, right?"

"Shikaku, what do you think?" Yamanaka Kaiichi looked at Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku smiled bitterly: "How else can I feel? Lord Hokage, he doesn't want to conflict with Whitebeard, right?"

What the three people said was very flattering to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, there are many people around here, and they are the heads of three ninja clans. Some things are not suitable to be said here.

All in all, Sarutobi Hiruzen's indifference today has made people in the village feel that he has lost his fangs.

If a Hokage loses the fangs that a Hokage should have, then some people under him will naturally have little thoughts that they didn't have before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen himself understood this truth.

But if he was allowed to show his "fangs" in front of Whitebeard, wouldn't he be interrupted by a punch from Whitebeard in the next second?

Jiraiya, who was hiding in the corner, watched all this happen. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that no one was affected by the Wind Release Ninjutsu and lost their lives."

In Jiraiya's eyes, as long as no lives were lost, it wouldn't be a big problem.

As for the old man's situation?

That can only be his own fault!

Jiraiya felt like he couldn't help much.

"...Is this the aura of Whitebeard?" Jiraiya couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and murmured with emotion: "I remember that he didn't burst out with such an amazing aura that day!"

Jiraiya was referring to the day when Whitebeard blasted Orochimaru.

At that time, Whitebeard only used sword skills and vibration power.

Jiraiya felt that he had some information about Whitebeard and could update it a little.

This can be considered a habit of his.

When he meets powerful people, Jiraiya is used to recording their personality traits, abilities, and shortcomings.

Anyway, he would write down everything he could in his intelligence notebook.

To prevent the other party from becoming an enemy in the future.

Then when the time comes, I will also have the methods and abilities to counterattack.

…

This Chunin Examination was concluded hastily.

For the Leaf Village, this Chunin Exam was a complete failure.

From the very beginning, the Chunin Examination became deviated from Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan due to the intrusion of the Whitebeard Pirates.

By the middle, with Naruto tying up a group of people, the direction of the Chuunin Exams had been completely freed from the control of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the end, the entire finals venue was almost destroyed by Naruto. Sarutobi Hiruzen could see many spectators in the auditorium, with expressions of fear but did not dare to say anything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

as time flows.

He watched one after another Konoha civilians slowly leave; watched one after another jounin led by outside villages begin to leave after saying goodbye to him, the Hokage; silently watched the ninjas and ninja school students in the village They also left one after another.

In the end, not even the Whitebeard Pirates stayed here any longer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat blankly on his chair.

More than half an hour passed.

It wasn't until the messy final field fell into complete silence that he came back to his senses in a daze.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes wandered around.

He found that the only people still standing beside him were the group of ninjas he brought with him and the examiners.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shakily stood up from his chair. He felt as if he had aged several years.

"Hokage-sama, the Chuunin Exams are over."

After seeing the Sandaime Hokage, who had been stunned for a long time, finally stand up, Kakashi, who was almost numb on his feet, took a step forward.

Kakashi opened his dead fish eyes and reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Lord Hokage, the candidates and the audience have all left. According to the process of the Chunin exam, we should now discuss who can advance to the 'Chūnin' exam." '."

"...I know." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and glanced at the group of people in front of him.

These people are the backbone of Konoha.

Most of them are his iron strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen, so these people have been standing here and not leaving. The other half of the ninjas also stayed here because of work needs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly swept away the gloom on his face. He knew very well that he must not show his lonely side to these people.

"Ahem!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly squeezed out a smile: "I don't have much clue at the moment, why don't we all discuss it freely!"

A group of examiners, ANBU ninjas, and ninjas from the Sarutobi clan looked at each other.

"Lord Hokage, I think 'Chōjuro' of Kirigakure Village, 'Uchiha Izumi' of Konoha Village, Mu...cough! And 'Uzumaki Naruto', 'White', and 'Uchiha' of Kusanagi Village Sasuke' is qualified to become a chuunin."

The person who spoke turned out to be Yuhi Hong.

Kurenai Yuhi put her hands on her hips. She was the first to suggest: "These children have proven that they have the strength to become chuunin."

A jounin of the Sarutobi clan shook his head: "That's not appropriate. Chunin not only depends on strength, but also on the comprehensive conditions of all aspects. If a ninja only has pure strength, but no leader should have it. If he has the qualities, then he is not qualified to become a chuunin."

"I think that the two candidates, Uchiha Sasuke and Chojuro, do not have the qualities of leaders. The former is a bit like the follower of Uzumaki Naruto and Haku, while the latter is too introverted, shy and taciturn."

Kakashi suddenly said: "I don't know anything else, but I think Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Izumi, and Shiro are strong enough to serve as chuunin and have the ability to stand alone."

He would not normally engage in discussions of such matters.

When he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of many people.

"Lord Hokage, I think all three of them can become chuunin, but not the chunin of Grass Ninja Village." Kakashi continued: "We can award them the chunin vest of Konoha Village."

"Oh?" Yuhi Hong was stunned: "Uchiha Izumi is fine, but didn't Uzumaki Naruto and Shiro participate in the name of Kusanagi?"

Kakashi explained: "Because this is just a small way for them to take the Chunin Exam. I know Uzumaki Naruto better. His dream in life is to become Hokage."

"If he is allowed to become the chuunin of Konoha Village, it will be his wish. What's more, Naruto is the orphan of the fourth generation, and no one is more qualified to become the chuunin of Konoha than him."

An examiner touched his chin and said, "Will the Grass Ninja Village agree?"

Kakashi replied: "The leaders of the Grass Ninja Village must listen to Naruto. Instead of thinking about whether the Grass Ninja Village will agree, you might as well think about whether Naruto, the kid, will agree."

The scene fell into silence for a while, everyone was thinking silently.

They found that what Kakashi said did make sense.

If Naruto takes the Hokage of Konoha Village as his dream goal... then it seems totally reasonable for them, Konoha Village, to give Naruto a Konoha forehead protector and a Konoha Chuunin vest, right?

Even recording the name Uzumaki Naruto on the chuunin ninja directory of Konoha Village doesn't seem to be a big problem, right?

After all, this is the Yondaime's son!

"Naruto Uzumaki, Haku, Izumi Uchiha..." Yuhi Kurenai said a key point: "They are either Whitebeard's adopted sons or Whitebeard's adopted daughters."

Yuhi Kurenai paused, then she said: "Strictly speaking, they are pirates."

Kakashi opened his dead eyes and continued: "Isn't that good? Can we take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

In the end, everyone present focused their attention on Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage.

It can be seen from the reactions of this group of ninjas that they agree with Kakashi's statement.

But the final decision has to be made by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to everything they discussed.

His sensibility told him...Kakashi's proposal was too ridiculous.

In order to take part in the chunin exam, Naruto would rather go to any means to become a genin of the Grass Ninja Village than beg him, Grandpa Hokage.

After the chuunin exam, he, the Hokage, still had to lick his old face and hand over the chuunin vest of Konoha Village to Naruto?

Reason told him...Kakashi's proposal was the optimal solution.

Although Naruto's bond with him has been severed, Naruto should have feelings for Konoha, otherwise Naruto would not want to become Hokage.

If Naruto is given the status of "Konoha Chuunin", Naruto should not refuse.

As for the Grass Ninja Village?

He was just a puppet of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Naruto had more say than Serizawa Fengnan.

The problem is that such an optimal decision was not thought up by him, the Hokage, but by Kakashi.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Kakashi without leaving any trace.

He had some doubts about whether Kakashi was colluding with Naruto?

Naruto first took advantage of the loopholes in the Chunin exam to participate in the Chunin exam. At this time, Kakashi proposed that Naruto become Konoha Chunin.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Kakashi is leaning towards Naruto's side.

Instead of leaning towards him, the Hokage.

Then he thought that he still didn't know who revealed his life experience to Naruto.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

He doubted Kakashi even more.

Once the seeds of doubt were planted, he didn't even want Kakashi to stay in the ANBU.

What if Kakashi is no longer loyal to him as Hokage...

In just a short moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind.

He ultimately chose reason.

Also chose to compromise.

"So be it! The few passers of this Chunin Exam are Uzumaki Naruto, Haku, and Uchiha Izumi."

The old voice of Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "There is another... Inuzuka Hana! I think she can also pass. Although she lost to Uchiha Izumi, she showed the superior qualities of a ninja during the battle. , I admire this child very much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't let the people who passed the Chunin Exam this time be all members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Inuzuka Hana is a child of the Inuzuka clan.

Although she has a very good relationship with Izumi Uchiha, she is not Whitebeard's daughter.

This is enough.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also added: "Shiro has nothing to do with Konoha. It is not suitable to assign him the identity of Konoha chunin. Only Naruto can be assigned. You can suggest the leader of the Grass Ninja Village to give him The identity of the chunin of the Grass Ninja Village."

He didn't want a member of the Whitebeard Pirates who had absolutely nothing to do with Konoha to enter Konoha's ninja team.

Naruto and Izumi, these two people are still closely related to Konoha.

Only Shiro and Konoha's eight poles can't be beaten.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi, capable of the most "tough" attitude.

Thinking of this... Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He, the Hokage of Konoha Village, is too pitiful.

Yondaime, what a huge mess you have left for me!

…

at the same time.

Konoha Prison.

Today, what happened in the Chuunin Exams quickly reached Danzo through the mouth of the root ninja.

"Uzumaki Naruto, that brat, is already able to borrow the power of tailed beasts skillfully?" Danzo narrowed his eyes and snorted: "Hmph! If I were the Hokage of Konoha, I would never let the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki In the hands of Whitebeard!"

Danzo felt a little annoyed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness.

He felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness would only make Konoha keep bowing its head and retreating step by step in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"However, failing the Chunin Exam is not a bad thing, at least not for me." Danzo gloated and sneered: "Monkey wants to use the Chunin Exam to add to his political achievements."

"Haha, who would have thought that a Chunin exam would directly ruin his reputation? And this is a Chunin exam that he single-handedly led, so he can't blame others."

"Yes! The Third Hokage is so unlucky." A strange voice suddenly came from behind Danzo: "Ever since he met Whitebeard, he hasn't had a smooth day, has he?"

"Tsk, tsk, you are no exception, right? Shimura Danzo? Are you here to laugh at the 50 steps you take? Haha, you little brats are really ridiculous! Hahahaha!"

The sneer of an unfamiliar voice made Danzo's pupils shrink.

Several members of the Roots who followed Danzo as his personal bodyguards also reacted immediately.

They instantly locked their gaze in one direction.

The Root members immediately drew out their ninja swords, and all guarded Danzo's surroundings, watching with vigilance the mysterious man who suddenly appeared.

Danzo was also turning the wheelchair under his seat.

and turned around.

"...Huh? Akatsuki?!" Danzo felt that no one in the entire Konoha Village was more familiar with that red cloud and black bottom robe than him.

Because it was he who teamed up with Sanshouyu Hanzo of the Rain Ninja Village to severely defraud the Akatsuki organization at that time.

And kill a guy named "Yahiko".

Danzo couldn't help but feel nervous.

Because he thought of those special eyes. In Danzo's perception, they were eyes that were as powerful as the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Back then, a kid in the Akatsuki organization used those special eyes to use an unprecedented and terrifying pupil technique, which scared him away.

Danzo knew that if he had run slower back then, he might have been a corpse.

It was precisely because of this that Danzo was so shocked when he saw a member of the Akatsuki organization appearing openly and openly in front of him.

Even...his psychological shadow was almost brought out.

But Danzo is Danzo after all.

He quickly suppressed the waves of emotions in his heart.

Danzo's face was full of gloom: "Who are you from the Akatsuki organization? Are you wearing a mask so you can't see the light?"

"I can't see the light of day? Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!" The mysterious masked man laughed wildly, and this laughter seemed to resound throughout the entire Konoha Prison.

After he finished laughing, only one of his eyes was exposed, and his gaze collided with Danzo's in mid-air: "I'm worried that once my face is exposed, you kid will be scared to death on the spot."

One of the eyes of the mysterious masked man turned scarlet.

And a strange and evil pattern appeared.

The change in this scene... made Danzo's eyes widen a bit: "Mangekyō Sharingan? The Uchiha clan who are born evil?"

etc!

Danzo suddenly thought of something.

The Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan + the red cloud black bottom robe of the Akatsuki organization + the strange mask with only one eye exposed...

Danzo gasped inwardly, his palms tightly grasping the wheelchair, and his tone was uncontrollable horror: "Uchiha Madara?!"

The name "Uchiha Madara" comes to mind through these characteristics, because Obito made so much noise on the night of the Uchiha genocide that Konoha knew about his clothing.

He calls himself "Uchiha Madara", and it is no secret among the top brass in Konoha.

"Oh? It seems you recognize me!" Obito pretended to speak in an old and hoarse voice, and those who didn't know thought he was a hundred-year-old man.

Danzo, who realized the other party's identity, became even more vigilant. He asked several questions on the spot: "Are you really Uchiha Madara? What is your purpose here? How many people from the Akatsuki organization have sneaked into Konoha? ?”

"Moreover!" Danzo gritted his teeth and secretly resented it, wishing to tear this mysterious masked man who called himself "Uchiha Madara" into pieces: "Did Uchiha's Sharingan be taken away by you, a bastard?"

"You little brat, you talk so much!" Obito smiled coldly: "I don't need to answer your useless questions. As for whether I am really 'Uchiha Madara'?"

"Ha...can't this eye explain everything?" Obito pointed at his Mangekyō Sharingan.

He walked slowly towards Danzo and stopped only when he was three meters in front of Danzo.

Obito ignored several root ninjas and said condescendingly: "I came to Konoha this time to give you Shimura Danzo a chance to cooperate with me, Uchiha Madara!"

Give...alms?

This word is extremely arrogant.

Danzo was stunned for a moment.
