I rely on myself

Chapter 685: The Snow Country Appears

Lin Yuan's words instantly woke Xiu up. Perhaps it was because the reputation of the leader of the five major ninja villages was too loud, or perhaps it was a habit left over from the time when he was in Kirigakure. In short, Xiu instinctively felt wary of Konoha, thinking that the other party was more powerful, so he had to be careful.

But now Lin Yuan directly said: "Xiu, let's not talk about anything else. Do you think that with the current strength of the Konoha Ninja Village, it can be comparable to our entire Snow Country?"

Although he was speaking in a questioning tone, Lin Yuan's tone was very affirmative.

Xiu thought that in the past five years, the Snow Country had not only improved economically, but also benefited from the industrial technology data brought by Lin Yuan from other worlds. Although it was very reluctant, the Snow Country now had the most basic industrial level.

Thanks to this, things like Chakra Armor can be produced quickly in large quantities by spending some resources and time. If used to arm the Snow Country, an army of tens of thousands of people can be raised in minutes.

Although such an army is basically composed of ordinary people, with the advantage of chakra armor, at least ordinary Genin and even some weak Chunin are no match for them.

Not to mention that if they really need troops, they also have puppet troops called mechanical dolls, which can act independently without the need for ninjas to operate them personally. They have good combat capabilities and are fearless of death. They can be said to be the best choice as cannon fodder.

So in terms of low-end combat power, their Snow Country can be said to have the advantage, and in terms of high-end combat power, they have the support of the Uchiha clan and their Mizunotsuki clan, plus the holders of the God's Eye.

In comparison, Konoha today can be said to have no successor. Ever since the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails, the already aged Sarutobi Hiruzen took the position of Hokage again. In addition, among the three ninjas, Orochimaru defected, and Jiraiya and Tsunade left. Among the younger generation, except for Kakashi, who is known as the copy ninja, the others have basically no fame.

Although it is just a comparison of data on paper, the gap is so huge that even if there is a discrepancy, it should not be much.

Thinking of this, Xiu suddenly became more confident, and Lin Yuan continued, "In other words, Xiu, if I don't worry about the plan and go all out, how long do you think the five major ninja villages... no! I should say the entire ninja world can hold out."

Most people would think these words were nonsense, but Lin Yuan said them in a very calm tone, giving people the illusion that he was just saying something like how the weather was today, but Xiu Ke was not mistaken.

To this Xiu was full of pride and respect, and replied in the most enthusiastic tone: "Of course it can't even last a day."

"Heh... Anyway, that's it. So there's no need to worry. Since we can no longer hide, let's just announce our existence."

Lin Yuan chuckled and expressed his thoughts fearlessly. When Xiu heard this, his face suddenly changed and he asked quickly: "Master Lin Yuan, what do you want to do..."

"Konoha's Chunin Exam will be held soon, right?"

Before Xiu could say "I", Lin Yuan suddenly interrupted him and asked a question. Xiu reacted quickly. While recalling the relevant information in his mind, he also replied.

"Yes, in a short while, Konoha will hold a new round of Chunin examinations, and it will be held together with the Sand Village. At that time, many other small countries and ninja villages with good relations will be invited to participate. Lord Lin Yuan, do you want to?!"

Lin Yuan did not keep the secret and said directly: "Very good, then send a message to Konoha and tell them that our Snow Country will also participate. As for the team, two teams will be enough. One team will be formed by selecting one person each from the civilian ninjas, the Uchiha clan, and your Mizunotsuki clan, and the other team will be selected from the Fatui army. Is that ok?" "...Yes! No problem, Lord Lin Yuan, please leave it to me."

Although he was a little slow to react, Xiu quickly came to his senses and promised to complete the task.

Naturally, there was nothing much to say next. Soon, a letter from the Snow Country wishing to take part in the Chunin exam reached Konoha Village.

The top leaders of Konoha Village, such as the Third Hokage, were naturally somewhat curious about the fact that the Snow Country, far away from the Ninja World, was suddenly going to participate in the Chunin Examination.

After all, the Snow Country has always been extremely remote in terms of its geographical location, and it snows for almost half a year throughout the year. Such geographical location and weather conditions make it impossible for the Snow Country to participate in the various Ninja World Wars. At the same time, no one is interested in them, so naturally they had no presence in the previous Ninja World Wars.

Although he was curious, it was only a little bit, and the Third Hokage believed that the reason why the Snow Country suddenly chose to participate in the Chunin Examination was, on the one hand, to take the opportunity to collect information about the ninja world at that time, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to establish good relations with Konoha.

It’s no wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen thought this way. After all, many of the small ninja villages participating in this event were trying to take the opportunity to establish good relations with Konoha.

After all, although there were some signs of decline, Konoha at that time still carried the title of the top five ninja villages. This title alone made many small countries and small ninja villages try hard to curry favor with Konoha. It was not surprising that the Third Hokage would think so.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally agreed to the Snow Country's request to participate in the Chunin Examination very easily, and replied to the Snow Country.

After receiving the affirmative reply, the Snow Country immediately set off for Konoha with two teams and a leading teacher who had been prepared in advance.

Time passed day by day, and there was only a week left before the official start of the Chunin Examination. At this time, somewhere in Konoha Village, the three members of Team 7 were waiting for the arrival of their leader, Jonin, Hatake Kakashi.

But as usual, Kakashi was late again. Although this was not the first time he had encountered such a thing, and it happened every time, Naruto and the others should have been used to it.

However, because of some things that happened yesterday, the three of them were eager to meet Kakashi and ask him questions.

Among them, Naruto, who was the most impatient, showed the most obvious reaction, even complaining directly: "Damn it! Why hasn't Kakashi-sensei come yet? I obviously have something important to ask him!"

While speaking, Naruto also acted very impatient, which made Sasuke, who was also a little anxious, complain: "Idiot."

"Sasuke, what are you pretending to be, you arrogant guy? You are just as impatient as me, aren't you?"

Although what Naruto said was right, Sasuke was not going to admit it, so he turned his head to the other side and ignored Naruto's words.
