event…

Hokage's office building.

An old man with a pipe in his mouth looked down at the crowds on the streets of Konoha. It was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage who has been in power for the longest time in Konoha Village. This old man was silently watching a group of people from outside the village who were visiting Konoha Village.

Ninjas.

no doubt.

The ninjas from other villages who can appear in Konoha Village so arrogantly must all come to Konoha to take the chunin exams. Most of them are ninjas from the small ninja villages. Among the big ninja villages, only Konoha's ally Sunagakure Village

Came to take the Chunin Exam.

Moreover, since the Third Ninja World War, the economy and finances of Sunagakure Village have been tight. Holding a chunin exam is also a financial burden for Sunagakure ninjas. Therefore, Sunagakure Village is also willing to participate in the competition held by Konoha.

Chunin exam.

"Kakashi."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, knocked his pipe gently, and asked Kakashi Hatake, who was standing behind him, softly: "The meeting to guide jounin to submit for the Chunin Examination has ended.

, do you have something important to report to me if you stay alone?"

In the Hokage's office, a high-level meeting of Konoha had just ended, and a group of coaching jounin or leading jounin had submitted the names of their subordinates to participate in the chunin exams.

These jounin have already left here to explain to their subordinates the precautions for the chunin exam. Only the instructor of the seventh class, Hatake Kakashi, applied to stay after the meeting. Apparently

If you have anything to say, please report it to the Third Hokage.

"yes."

Hatake Kakashi nodded and said casually: "Although I also think that my subordinates are qualified to participate in the Chunin Examination, and I just helped them submit the application to participate in the Chunin Examination, but one of my subordinates is in a slightly different situation.

special…"

"I know."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, as if he understood what Hatake Kakashi wanted to say: "You want to say Naruto, right? Although Naruto's identity is indeed..."

"No."

"I'm not worried about Naruto."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head again, and his eyes became serious: "What I want to say is about Sasuke. If Sasuke is allowed to participate in this chunin exam, I am a little worried about what accidents will happen. His strength

It’s a bit too strong among genin…”

"Sasuke's excellence is noticed by many people..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, has always been particularly concerned about the education of the ninja school. He is well aware of the conditions of the children in the village. He mentioned his impression of Sasuke: "I remember that Sasuke was always number one in the ninja school...

"

"but…"

Hatake Kakashi frowned slightly, as if he wanted to explain that Sasuke's combat power is not as simple as that of an excellent ninja: "Sasuke now has at least a Jonin-level combat power, and the three Magatama Sharingan is too powerful.

His fire escape ninjutsu, as well as his swordsmanship that is beyond his age, plus the teleportation technique left behind by Shisui..."

Based on the combat prowess Uchiha Sasuke displayed during this period, it is reasonable to be promoted to Jonin even in peacetime. If in wartime, he can definitely be used as the main ninja to perform special tasks.

"Is he already so strong?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Did the child who survived the night of genocide actually awaken the three Magatama Sharingan? He even learned the teleportation technique once developed by Uchiha Shisui!

should say…

Is he worthy of Uchiha Itachi's younger brother?

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately had some intuitive judgment about Uchiha Sasuke's power. After thinking for a second, he gave Hatake Kakashi an answer: "Don't worry so much, just let Sasuke participate normally."

Let's take the ninja exam. The chunin exam is an occasion for ninja villages from all over the world to show off their strength. The appearance of an outstanding ninja in the village can also let others see the heritage of Konoha..."

to be honest…

There has never been such an outstanding ninja in Konoha. The last time there was such an outstanding ninja was Itachi Uchiha who passed the chunin exams single-handedly.

"We need Sasuke too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Uchiha Itachi who had defected, and his voice gradually became a little erratic, as if he was caught in some kind of memory: "The better Sasuke performs in this Chuunin exam, the better..."

In this case…

It can also put others at ease.

Four years ago, the Uchiha clan was slaughtered by Uchiha Itachi.

However, the truth is not simple. Uchiha Itachi reached a deal with the top management of Konoha. He will unite with a mysterious masked man to kill everyone in the Uchiha clan, solve the crisis of the Uchiha clan's coup, and then leave the village.

As a secret spy in Konoha, he went to track down the mysterious masked man and a mysterious organization called Akatsuki controlled by the mysterious masked man. The condition of the village's top management was that he would protect his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke.

If Uchiha Sasuke is really good enough and performs well enough in this chuunin exam, and even becomes famous in the ninja world, he will definitely make the spy traitor Uchiha Itachi outside understand that Konoha's top brass has not let him down.

sacrifice.

Other than that…

Konoha Village is indeed a bit out of control.

Although there are a group of outstanding young jounin such as Hatake Kakashi, Metkai and Sarutobi Asuma in the village, the combat power of these young jounin does not have a particularly great deterrent, at least they cannot do it yet.

To the likes of 'Golden Flash' Namikaze Minato and 'Shunshen Shisui' Uchiha Shisui, they are so powerful that they can scare the enemy.

If this is the case alone, forget it. It is not unacceptable that elite jonins like Hatake Kakashi continue to emerge. However, in the past few years, the talent pool has become increasingly scarce, and they are basically some special elites who have been promoted.

Tolerate…

fortunately.

The situation in Konoha has finally improved during this period.

During this period of time, there have been many outstanding graduates from the Konoha Ninja School, many of whom are very talented. Hiruzen Sarutobi has high hopes for this group of children.

"They are all outstanding children..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his cigarette, looked at the groups of ninjas not far away, and blew out a thick smoke ring: "I hope the little guys can show their strength in this chunin exam."

Excellent, I hope they can carry the will of fire in the future..."

"still have a question…"

Hatake Kakashi scratched his head and mentioned something that made him unsure: "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that Sasuke's behavior seems a bit extreme, and his character is also a bit too mature and calm.

Judging from his age..."

"Immature children just like to imitate the maturity of adults..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed no comment on this, and sighed: "When they really grow up, they will miss their young selves..."

As an old man who has controlled Konoha for more than thirty years, the Third Hokage has long seen many children who have mature minds since childhood. Kakashi Hatake behind him and Uchiha Itachi who has left the village are not both mentally mature since childhood.

Too mature?

and after?

Whether it's Kakashi Hatake or Itachi Uchiha, haven't they both carried Konoha's will of fire and solved many crisis tasks for Konoha?

and…

Uchiha Sasuke's life experience is so bizarre. He encountered the past where his parents were all killed by his biological brother since he was a child. It is normal for him to mature early...

To be honest, this kid, Sasuke Uchiha, has gone through so much, but his mind is still normal, and he can even become a ninja, which shows that this kid's mind is strong enough.

"Go get ready."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to ask Hatake Kakashi to step back.

"yes."

Hatake Kakashi's figure disappeared in an instant. He was going to announce to the little guys of Team 7 that they were going to take the Chunin Exam.

but…

Uchiha Sasuke had expected this.

When Kakashi Hatake announced that they could also take the Chunin Exam, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were also very motivated.

"This exam will be very lively..."

Uchiha Sasuke had to remind Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura, especially the names of two people: "The guy named Gaara we met in the afternoon, and there is a Dai Dai among the ninjas in Kusugakure Village.

Wearing glasses…”

"ah?"

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were a little confused.

"that…"

Haruno Sakura's brows couldn't help but frown. She remembered that in the afternoon, Uchiha Sasuke ignored the group of Sunagakure ninjas who were obviously not easy to mess with, and kept staring at a redhead who came from a small ninja village and looked a bit dull and sloppy in his clothes.

girl…
