Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 220: Night and Light Chunin Exam!

The streets that were swept by the wind were unusually clean. Both sides of the streets were bustling with people, hawking and shouting.
There are shops lined up behind the vendors, each of which has been freshly painted, but it looks out of place with the overall dim and desolate tone of the Sand Village.

Obviously, this is a commercial street that Sunagakure was specially renovated for holding the Chunin Exam.

After changing out of Mizukage's attire and putting on a casual robe, Ye walked on the street, looking like an ordinary traveler.

For this Chunin Exam, the other four major nations sent their own elite teams. Although their number was small, their combat power was definitely far superior to that of ordinary Chunins.

Like Darui of Kumogakure and Deidara of Iwagakure, one is the future Fifth Raikage who inherited the Black Thunder of the Third Raikage, and the other is the Blue Dragon of Akatsuki who was originally sitting firmly on the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage, but his heart is only focused on art and he doesn't even play Black Tsuchigumi for the sake of art.

The people coming from Konoha were the Uchiha trio. Obviously, Fugaku also wanted to show off Konoha's prestige in this Chunin Exam.

What, you mean teammates?

Indeed, the Uchiha under the previous Hokage's rule did need two suitable teammates. But the Uchiha under the Fifth Hokage's rule did not need such a thing at all.

Only the stronger Uchiha can become the teammate of Uchiha. The most powerful team is composed of three Uchiha, three almighty sharp knives!

In addition to the five major ninja villages, there are also many familiar people in the small ninja villages.

Villages like the Artisan Village, the Locking Village, the Taki Village, the Kusagakure Village, etc., all sent very good ninjas.

The group that attracted Ye's attention the most was the trio from the Star Ninja Village.

As early as the end of the Third World War, Ye had sent Captain Yagura of the 13th Division to find the Star Ninja Village and seize its stars.

With Yagura's almost overwhelming strength, the stars were naturally captured easily. Now they are placed in the Shadow Island and become one of the energy sources of Kirigakure.

Without the stars, the Star Ninja Village can be said to have lost the foundation of the village, but in Ye's eyes at this moment, the three little ones of the Star Ninja Village are still full of star chakra in their bodies.

"Interesting, is there a second star in the Star Ninja Village?"

Ye was quite surprised.

The star is quite special. The amount of chakra contained in this meteorite is no less than that of a tailed beast.

Having one of this kind of stone is already a masterpiece of nature and it means you are extremely lucky. But what if you have a second one?
"It seems that I have to find time to visit the Star Ninja Village."

"Thank you for your patronage. Twenty taels~... Hey, you haven't paid yet!"

In a shop on the side of the street, a vendor took out a string of three-color meatballs and handed it to the girl in front of him.

Uchiha Guang took the three-colored meatballs, turned around and left. The vendor owner, who had been smiling a moment ago, froze and said hurriedly.

Pay?

Guang looked at the boss in confusion.

Logically, this is the village under Obito's control, and she is Obito's partner, which means that this is the village under her control.

In this case, she still needs to pay?
The three-magatama Sharingan quietly turned in his eyes, and the vendor who was yelling for payment just a second ago suddenly became silent and stood there in a daze like a puppet.

But in just a moment, the illusion on the boss was quietly broken, and his dazed look still showed his obsession with money.

"Little girl, how can you buy things without paying?"

"Hmm?" Uchiha Hikaru was stunned, the three-magatama Sharingan in his eye sockets kept turning, and when his pupil power was brewing, a hand reached out.

"This is forty taels. Give me one too."

The Sharingan that was about to fuse suddenly shrank at this moment. Uchiha Hikaru suddenly raised his head and saw the handsome profile of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi.

Ye Wen smiled gently, handed the money to the boss, and took the three-colored meatballs from him: "You have to pay for things. If you don't pay, wouldn't that make you a robber?"

These words obviously failed to relax Uchiha Guang, but made him even more tense.

She didn't sense any presence of Mizunotsuki Ye at all, as if this person didn't exist at all. The most important thing was that the other party was able to break her illusion silently!

Uchiha Guang subconsciously took a step back, staring at the person who came.

The wide white robe enveloped his entire body, and there was not a single chakra flowing from his body. No, not only chakra, but even the breath of his 'existence' could not be sensed at all.

If Guang had not seen this person right here with his own eyes, he would even suspect that he was under an illusion at this moment!
Uchiha Hikaru held the three-colored balls in one hand, and subconsciously dropped the other hand to his waist. However, he seemed to notice that he was wearing a kimono today and did not have a ninja bag, so he used his hand as a blade, covered it with chakra, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Who... are you?!"

Ye lowered his eyes slightly, lingering on the three blood-red magatama in Guang's eyes for a moment, and then looked at Guang's face.

I have to say that the Uchiha clan is quite good-looking, with all of them being pretty girls. But Ye is not a pedophile. Even if Guang's appearance is outstanding, he would not have any strange thoughts. What really attracts his attention is the power contained in Guang's eyes.

With just one glance, he felt the vast power contained in these eyes. Its strength was even higher than that of Fugaku and Obito, and was comparable to Shisui!

Interesting, when did the Uchiha clan produce a girl with such explosive eye power?
"You are not from Konoha Uchiha, are you?" Ye glanced at Guang's palm blade filled with chakra, and then his gaze returned to Guang's eyes, and asked softly: "Opening this level of Sharingan at this age... It must be painful and tiring."

After hearing Ye's words, Uchiha Guang, who had originally been thinking about taking action directly, paused and looked at Ye in a daze.

"Did your parents die in the war?" Ye asked softly.

He did not use any deliberate means, but just brought a slight breath of soul into his words. Just a simple tone had the effect of calming the mind.

Hearing this voice, Guang pursed his lips lightly, the chakra on the palm blade gradually dissipated, and nodded: "He died in the war."

Ye brought the three-colored balls in his hand to her, and smiled as he ruffled Guang's long black hair: "Life seems as fragile as a cicada's wing, but as tenacious as weeds. For some things, you can't just look at the surface. There is a terrifying power contained in the human body, but people themselves cannot perceive it, let alone fully master it. In a limited life, chasing too many illusory things leads to the appearance of weakness."

“It’s like our ancestors who have passed away. Although they died, the things they left behind, the remaining beliefs and heritage, are like their eyes, watching over the world and the people who have inherited their heritage.”

Ye shook his head and sighed, "So, you who have inherited their beliefs and will should see more with these eyes."

Guang stared at Ye in a daze, lowered his head and looked at the two three-color balls in his hand, and shook his head: "Dead is dead, dead is everything, and all that is left is hatred and anger..."

"Do you understand that feeling?" Suddenly, Uchiha Guang raised his head and looked at Ye, his delicate face full of seriousness: "The feeling of the most important person dying in front of you, the most important treasure of yours shattered in front of you!"

"...The most important person." Ye Qing murmured, "Of course I understand that feeling."

"My mind went blank, my throat felt like it was being crushed, my mind was suffocating and I couldn't breathe, it felt like my heart was about to stop beating."

"And during this process, the emotions of anger and hatred will completely invade your mind, as if only by destroying everything can you vent these emotions..."

"But, I am very clear about one thing." Ye looked at Uchiha Guang in front of him and said seriously: "Anger can be your driving force to move forward, but it can never become an obstacle to your progress. You must control your anger and control yourself. Only in this way can you feel the real world and move towards the real Fengqiong."

"Control yourself..."

Uchiha Guang murmured softly and shook his head with a complicated expression.

It's easy to say, but how easy is it to do?
Be it weapons or tools, she has never had control over herself since the moment her parents died.

"The road of life is still long, you are still young, and there are still many things to go through, to experience, and to understand." Ye looked at the silent light and said with a smile: "Okay, your partner seems to have come to find you. If we are destined to meet, see you next time."

As the words were spoken, a breeze blew by and Ye's figure disappeared.

Guang remained silent. After a moment, Xiaonan appeared behind him: "Suzaku, don't act rashly. The plan is about to begin."

Guang glanced at Xiaonan, turned around and walked towards his residence.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and as ninjas from various ninja villages arrived in Sunagakure one after another, the Chunin Joint Examination held by Sunagakure was about to begin with the participation of most of the ninja world.

Before the first exam officially began, Sunagakure held a rally, asking ninjas from all over the world to sign a waiver agreement, and also allowed distinguished guests, the Fifth Hokage and the Fourth Mizukage, to show up and attend the opening ceremony.

On the high platform, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was talking a lot of useless nonsense. After more than half an hour, he slowly picked up a scroll and spoke loudly.

"Now announce the rules for the first exam!"

"The place we are in now is the Sand Iron Desert in the Sand Village. It is the place where the Third Kazekage practiced the Sand Iron Magnetic Release."

"The 56 teams and 168 people who took the exam will each receive a glittering 'Golden Sand Star' as a token of loyalty. Only the team that gathers nine Golden Sand Stars and reaches the Golden Sand Fortress in the center of the Iron Sand Desert before 8 a.m. on the third day will be considered to have passed the exam."

"Please note that the gate of the Golden Sands Fortress will only be officially opened at 8 o'clock in the morning on the third day. Those who arrive first will not be able to enter, and it will not be considered as completing the exam."

"Please note that all the gold sand stars are equipped with special signal devices. Every hour, we will shrink the range of the Iron Sand Desert by three kilometers. The gold sand stars outside this range will lose their value and cannot be used as tokens of passing the exam."

As soon as these words were spoken, countless candidates present frowned.

They had already obtained a lot of information about the Chunin Exam from various middlemen in the Sand Village long ago, and they were also quite familiar with the information about the Sand Iron Desert and the Golden Sand Fortress.

The distance between the two is actually only more than 200 kilometers, which is nothing for ordinary ninjas. Even if there are some poisonous creatures such as snakes and scorpions in it, coupled with the harsh environment of the desert, it is nothing to worry about.

But if these restrictions are added, the difficulty will increase immediately.

A team has three gold sand stars. To get nine, it means defeating at least two teams. Moreover, the team that has collected enough tokens cannot enter the Golden Sand Fortress in advance and can only wait for the time to come.

This means that by the third day, when the Golden Sand Star's circle continues to shrink and becomes ineffective, several teams will inevitably gather in front of the Golden Sand Fortress.

In other words, people who are confident in their own abilities can even go directly to the Jinsha Fortress and wait for the rabbit to come...

"In addition, you will also be given special wrists that can be equipped with the Sand Gold Star. In addition to being able to equip tokens, it also has a special distress function. You only need to use chakra to activate it, and it will form a sand gold shield to protect your life. At the same time, the nearest jonin will come to rescue you."

“Of course, while being protected, you are also acquiesced and lose the qualification to take the exam.”

After introducing all the rules, Luo Sha glanced at the candidates who were still digesting the rules and nodded slightly. Several Sunagakure jonin led all the contestants towards the Sand Iron Desert. At the same time, at the entrance, they equipped all the contestants with Sand Gold Stars and Sand Gold Wristbands.

In the Sand Iron Desert, there are already nearly thirty Sand Village jonins ready to respond to any accidents at any time to ensure that the exam can proceed normally.

After all preparations were completed, fifty-six teams, with a total of one hundred and sixty-eight people, were evenly led to the fifty-six entrances of the Iron Sand Desert.

Time passed slowly until the clock hit eight o'clock. Luo Sha took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Fugaku and Ye, waved his hand, and said loudly,
"Then the first Chunin Joint Special Grade Exam of Sand Village has officially begun!"

"Shhhhhh!"

As a series of flares exploded in the air, fifty-six teams rushed into the Iron Sand Desert at the same time!

at the same time.

On a deserted island outside the Hidden Mist Village.

The space distorted, and Obito's figure emerged from it.

Looking at the desolate environment around him, Obito frowned slightly: "Are you sure you can enter from here?"

"The barrier defense here is the weakest, and there are no Kirigakure ninjas or Shinigami guarding it." Jue said confidently: "Although this place is a little far from Kirigakure's mainland, as long as we can cross this archipelago, we can officially enter Kirigakure."

"Aren't there any Kirigakure ninjas and Shinigami?"

"In that case, let's get started!"

"Break the seal!"

Obito took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and suddenly dropped his palms on the void. Dense spells emerged and spread throughout the surrounding space.

The space twisted, creating an invisible entrance, and Obito and Zetsu quickly entered it.

At the moment when the invisible entrance was opened, countless inexplicable creatures on the entire desolate archipelago seemed to have sensed something. They opened their eyes at the same time and looked in the same direction...
