I rely on myself

Chapter 709 Arrival
Of course, there were other accidents afterwards. The only survivor of the Uchiha clan of Konoha and the former second young master, Uchiha Sasuke, only learned now that there were members of the Uchiha clan in the Snow Country's team.

He learned this news by chance from the villagers of Konoha Village. After all, the third round of the Chunin Examination was not conducted as secretly as the previous two rounds. On the contrary, it was widely publicized.

This is because each ninja village wants to use this opportunity to showcase the strength of its new generation in order to attract more people to entrust tasks. In other words, it is for money. Therefore, during the one-month preparation period, of course, some basic information of the contestants, such as their names, will be publicized.

Therefore, Sasuke was able to know about Rei's existence, and confirmed again and again that he was not mistaken. He even went to find Naruto for this. After confirming with him, Sasuke immediately rushed to the residence of the Snow Country to meet with Rei, to find out what was going on there, and whether there were other Uchiha members who survived besides him, etc. etc.

However, the result was already determined. When faced with Sasuke's request to meet him, Lie simply closed the door and had no intention of meeting him at all.

After blocking the door several times and being turned away, Sasuke finally understood what Rei meant. He also understood why the other party did this. Wasn't it all because of his brother Uchiha Itachi?

If you talk about disappointment, Sasuke was somewhat, but not extremely disappointed. After all, when he was rejected for the first time, Sasuke had expected this, but he was still unwilling to accept it, so he blocked the door for the next few days. The final result only completely confirmed this expectation.

Although he still wanted to meet Uchiha Rei, since the other party didn't want to meet him, and Sasuke himself had special training to go through, he had to give up for the time being.

Anyway, by the time the third round of exams comes, the other party will also appear on the exam, and you can take the opportunity to meet with him/her then. This is simpler and more effective.

Everyone in the Snow Country saw Sasuke leave and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the other party's blocking the door was somewhat inconvenient for them. But to forcibly expel the other party would be a bit too much. After all, the other party just came to see He Lie, and it couldn't be better now that he had left.

Time passed quickly, and soon a month had passed. At the same time, the third round of the Chunin Exam officially began.

Nobles and merchants from all over the Land of Fire and even from other countries rushed to Konoha to watch this rare feast. They also took this opportunity to observe the strength of the new generation of each ninja village, so as to better judge which ninja village to entrust tasks to in the future.

At this moment, in the huge examination hall, waves of lively cheers continued to ring out, and a large number of Konoha citizens gathered here. After all, they usually don't have the opportunity to watch the fight between ninjas at such a close distance. Now that there is a way to watch safely, a large number of villagers naturally will not be stingy with the money for the few tickets.

"Wow! There are so many people around!"

Looking at the many villagers in the audience seats around him, Naruto shouted excitedly, looking like he had never seen the world before. The two people around him were somewhat disgusted by this and subconsciously kept their distance.

"Okay, stop yelling like you've never seen the world before, and stand up straight. You are all the protagonists of this exam, so cheer up and show your best side."

At this time, a Konoha ninja wearing a vest and holding a Senbon in his mouth suddenly came over and spoke to the candidates.

Naruto was the first among the crowd to ask the Konoha ninja who suddenly appeared, "Who are you?" Glancing at Naruto, the Konoha ninja looked somewhat helpless. In fact, he wanted to say that we are in the same group, is it really okay for you to sabotage us like this? Of course, despite his thoughts, he still knew what he should and shouldn't say.

"Ahem, indeed, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Genma Shiranui, and I am the examiner for the third round of exams. Although it may be a bit redundant, I will still explain the rules here..."

While Shiranui Genma was explaining the rules of the third round of the exam to the candidates, three chairs were placed on the top of the viewing platform. A figure was already sitting on the middle chair, and it was none other than the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. As for who the other two chairs were for, it was self-evident.

Soon, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, knelt on one knee and reported: "Report to Lord Hokage, the Daimyo of the Snow Country has arrived. Should we bring him here?"

"Ask him to come over."

When he heard the name of the Daimyo of the Snow Country, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes immediately narrowed, as if he was thinking about something, but he soon came to his senses and answered.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the figure of the Anbu ninja immediately disappeared. It was obvious that he was following the order of the Third Hokage to bring the Daimyo of the Snow Country here.

Soon, three figures came here led by the Anbu ninja. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the familiar appearance of the leader. Although he had expected it before, he was still surprised when he really saw it.

However, despite being surprised, the Third Hokage did not neglect his etiquette. He stood up from his chair and greeted the newcomer, "Welcome. I didn't expect that the Lord of the Snow Country is so young. And I heard that you are also the leader of the Hidden Snow Village. You really make an old man like me ashamed. By the way, your name is Lin Yuan, right? I hope you don't mind me calling you by your name."

"Of course not. After all, Mr. Third Hokage, you are a senior much older than me. There is no problem with calling me by my name."

Faced with the Third Hokage who was going to use age and seniority to put pressure on him, Lin Ye said that he was no pushover and directly and implicitly mocked the other party's age in his words.

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in the seemingly dim eyes of the Third Hokage, but he did not express it. After a somewhat formatted greeting, the Third Hokage signaled to the Anbu ninja who led the way that he could leave, and then took Lin Yuan to sit down.

While walking, the Third Hokage seemed to have inadvertently carefully observed Lin Yuan and the other three. In addition to Lin Yuan who was the leader, the two people behind him who were obviously guards were not simple either.

The most obvious one was the round fan pattern on one of the guards' clothes, which was very familiar to the Third Hokage...
