Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 531 Nine-Tailed Fox: I’m going to be in trouble soon!
"Big cousin?"

As soon as Uchiha Izuna walked out the door, he saw a familiar curly-haired man.

"Hey~Have you finished greeting Jingzai?"

Uchiha Gin, who was chatting with Uchiha Kagome who came with his little cousin, greeted him with a smile after hearing the surprised voice.
"Huh? Why are you alone?"

Uchiha Izuna looked around in confusion, but she didn't see any other familiar figures. Logically speaking, the women around her cousin wouldn't miss such a fun-watching event.

"They were here just now, but now I don't know where they are. Maybe they went to buy snacks?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Uchiha Gin, who was abandoned by Uchiha Hikaru and others, did not worry about the safety of the girls at all.

"Well, you want to go with us?"

Looking at the lonely Uchiha Gin, Izuna politely invited,

"That's a good feeling!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin immediately smiled brightly. He finally got a ticket.

That’s right, Xiao Tuantuan, who suffered heavy losses in this wave of recruitment, shamelessly started to earn money from ticket sales in order to recover as quickly as possible.

The ticket fee is 100,000 taels, and disabled ninjas can enjoy a 99% discount with their discount card.

For 100,000 taels, you can see the Tailed Beast Knight. The price is very reasonable. There is an endless stream of people lining up to buy tickets.
The whole forest was filled with villagers with their families. The Shimura clan, who were in charge of the exam, had to mobilize a large number of volunteers to do the work of guiding them. They were busy and sweating.

"Master Izuna, the tickets have been purchased."

As he was talking, a member of the clan who had been sent out to buy tickets came back with a stack of tickets in his hand. Uchiha Gin quickly took one.
"Thank you~"

"what?"

The people who bought the tickets were dumbfounded. They had queued for a long time to buy these tickets.
"Go buy another one. We'll go in first."

Glancing helplessly at Uchiha Gin, Izuna shook her head slightly.
"Yes"

The tribesman who felt aggrieved secretly glared at Uchiha Gin, but dared not speak out. After all, he had been spanked by this hateful curly-haired man when he was a child, and he had to cover his buttocks and walk against the wall when he met him on the road.

“I didn’t expect to attract so many viewers.”

Playing with the ticket worth 100,000 taels, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh. The bustling crowd around him gave him the illusion of attending a New Year's fair.
But in fact, the atmosphere is no different from that of a big market. Smart vendors have already set up stalls on both sides of the road, selling snacks, drinks and some Tailed Beast Knight peripheral products.

"Take a look, take a look, the Nine-Tailed Doll is on sale, only 998 each!"

Among the vendors, Uchiha Gin also found an acquaintance, Uzumaki Masahiko, who was much more mature than a few years ago. He was holding a tailed beast doll of the same model as the one he had at home, and was shouting hard. The small stall was surrounded by children with stars in their eyes.

998?

Is it depreciating so fast?
Blinking in confusion, Uchiha Gin temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​going to get a refund for the price difference for the sake of his brother Zhou Xuan, and followed his cousin to the main entrance of the venue.

The huge examination room surrounded by black cloth has two entrances, one large and one small. The large one is for the audience. Several diligent Shimura clan members are checking tickets at the door.

Outside the other small door, there were many applicants waiting for the exam, but for some reason, the small door was not open, and many of them had already started to complain.

Many ordinary villagers who claimed to be the chosen ones had already started to feel weak in their legs after standing under the scorching sun for a long time. They were exhausted and hungry.
"I paid two million taels, but I don't even have a stool? RnM, give me back my money!"

When he thought about the fact that he had spent all his money to take the exam, but didn't even get any basic benefits, he immediately cursed out loud.

"That's right, they didn't even give us a glass of water. What kind of organizer are you? I suggest you conduct a thorough investigation into where the funds went!"

"Thorough investigation!"

“Otherwise we’ll have to issue an invoice!”

"Issue an invoice!"

"."

"Young Patriarch, something bad has happened!"

The resentment of the applicants gradually fermented, and the Shimura clan members who were responsible for maintenance saw this and hurriedly reported it to Danzo.
"Don't call me Young Clan Leader, call me Advisor!"

Hearing the tribe members calling him that, Danzo's face turned cold.
"Yes! Mr. Advisor, the registered contestants are making a fuss!"

"what?"

Danzo, who was worrying about Uchiha Izuna's pension issue, was stunned when he heard this.
"They demanded a thorough investigation into the whereabouts of the funds collected by the Shimura clan from the registration fees, and also demanded an invoice."

"Holy crap!"

Why is it that everything doesn't go his way? He runs around all the time, but gets nothing in return. Instead, he gets criticized and blamed.

"Danzo, I think they can't wait any longer, let's get started."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw through the nature of the riot and reminded Danzo to start the exam as soon as possible to silence the crowd.
"Hoo, carry it to the entrance of the passage!"

Danzo frowned and nodded, then waved his hand and ordered his tribesmen to carry out the Nine-Tails statue he had carved himself.

"Look, it's Shimura Danzo!"

Among the applicants who were making trouble, someone saw Danzo walking slowly in the distance and immediately shouted. Everyone raised their arms and cheered.

"Refund! Refund! Refund!"

"."

Danzo, with a dark face, said nothing, and walked quickly to the entrance of the passage with the Nine-Tails statue.
"Boom——"

As the huge statue fell to the ground, the voices of the people who were making trouble paused, and they looked at the abstract Kyuubi statue behind Danzo with doubts, and started pointing and talking.

"What is that?"

"It's a bit like a stray dog ​​at the entrance of the village."

“So ugly and abstract.”

Danzo took a deep breath and imagined the troublemakers in front of him as green banknotes. His angry mood was relieved a little, and he couldn't help but put on a professional fake smile on his face.
"Master Danzo, when exactly does the exam start?"

There were many members of the Ninja Alliance in the crowd. Although they had complaints against Danzo, they could only suppress their anger and ask because of his identity.
"Such an important exam cannot be treated lightly. This consultant will naturally make all preparations before announcing the start of the exam. This is also responsible for the village and you all."

Looking at the face of the banknote, Danzo patiently explained,
"Are you ready now?"

The long-awaited contestants are already impatient. In order to compete for the title of Tailed Beast Knight, they have gambled most of their life savings.
"Since I'm here, I'll naturally announce that the exam is about to begin."

Danzo nodded, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. It was finally time to prove themselves. They were eager to try, and couldn't wait to squeeze forward. Seeing the scene gradually becoming chaotic, Danzo frowned and continued to explain.
"However, since the number of applicants exceeded expectations, in order to save everyone's time, this consultant has specially prepared a test. Only applicants who pass this test are eligible to take the next exam."

"Huh? They didn't mention any threshold when they charged the fee!"

"Anyone who can't even pass the first test is not worthy of being a knight."

Danzo's voice became colder, and the people standing in the front row felt a chill entering their bodies.
Reminded by the aura emanating from Danzo, some applicants who were blinded by anger belatedly realized that the man with the huge butt in front of them was the strongest man in the village.
"It's just a test, come on! I want to be the Tailed Beast Knight!"

"Go, go, go!"

"."

"Very good, very energetic!"

Danzo nodded in satisfaction, then made way for the abstract Nine-Tails standing at the entrance of the passage behind him.

"This statue contains a trace of Kyuubi's malice. Anyone who can successfully pass it and enter the passage will pass the test."

"That's it?"

Many people looked at the abstract Nine-Tails statue with curiosity. This ugly statue did not arouse any fear in them at all. Not laughing out loud was already a concession to Danzo.
"Hmph! Now, the exam begins!"

Hearing the disdainful boos from the crowd, Danzo sneered and announced the start of the exam.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm determined to be the Tailed Beast Knight!"

The applicants in the first row had been queuing up since yesterday, just to get the first place. When Danzo waved his hand, they immediately squeezed towards the passage, fearing that they would fall behind and miss the opportunity to meet the Tailed Beast Knight.
"It's just a funny statue. I don't care. Aaaaaah!"

A commoner who wanted to try his luck rushed to the Nine-Tailed Fox statue and was about to laugh at it, but he was horrified to find that his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Under the horrible pressure, he screamed incessantly.
The next second, he couldn't bear the Nine-Tailed Fox's malice anymore, his screams stopped abruptly, and he collapsed to the ground, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth.

"Hurry! It's our turn!"

The long-awaited medical team finally came in handy. The first applicant who fainted was quickly carried away, followed by the second, the third, and the
"That thing is weird."

Seeing that the applicants at the front were falling like leeks, the people behind them immediately stopped in alert, their faces solemn.
“This thing is really useful!”

Danzo looked at the applicants falling one after another and could not help but nod repeatedly.
Just as the applicants were hesitating, a burly figure stepped out, walked slowly to the front of the Nine-Tailed Fox statue, raised his head and looked straight ahead.

"Huhu. Huh."

Although he was panting heavily, the burly man did not fall down like the others before him. After stagnating for ten seconds, he took a difficult step and became the first applicant to cross the statue.
"He actually passed! That guy is a Jonin from the Senju clan!"

Everyone was surprised, but they also recognized the identity of the burly man. Even a jonin was struggling so hard. This test was indeed not easy.
"Nnd, let's fight!"

The money has already been paid. If you back out at the last minute, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Many applicants who are not even ninjas decided to give it a try after a period of ideological struggle.
What if I really am the chosen one?

However, the truth is always so cruel.

Ordinary people without chakra protection can't last more than three seconds in front of the Nine-Tails' malicious chakra.
Ordinary people who held unrealistic fantasies were carried away by the medical team one after another, and the experience cards that cost two million were declared invalid.

"I control my own life!"

"Mom, give me strength!"

"."

Of course, there are people who have successfully crossed the line.
Many powerful and solid-foundation jonin, relying on the unquenchable faith in their hearts, crossed the Nine-Tails statue and gained the qualification to face the Tailed Beast Cards directly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a cruel test~"

Uchiha Gin, who had already successfully sat in the audience, looked at the loser lying on the ground and twitching with a sigh, and sighed,

"If you can't even handle this bit of malice, how can you be qualified to be Big Brother's successor?"

Uchiha Izuna shook his head in disdain, his eyes full of disappointment. Among those who had passed the test before, none of them were worthy of his attention. If he really let this bunch of rubbish take advantage of the opportunity, he would regret it to death.
"Cousin, it's not too late to sign up now, right?"

"It's too late. Registration closed yesterday."

Seeing the anxiety hidden in his little cousin's eyes, Uchiha Gin shrugged regretfully.

"Damn it! Eh? Isn't that Baimao's illegitimate daughter?"

The annoyed Izuna was about to curse, but she saw the white-haired girl walking out of the crowd. She was dumbfounded.
"Um, has she signed up too?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head. He didn't expect that the white-haired man also coveted the Nine-Tailed Fox. It seemed that the experience of transforming before was good.

"Although she knows the special skills of Baimao, she is still too young and inexperienced. I'm afraid..."

Uchiha Izuna shook her head with some regret. If she had a few more years of experience, this Senju Hime might be able to have some of her father's skills.
"The work of the Uzumaki clan, where did Danzo get this thing?"

Standing in front of the extremely abstract Nine-Tailed Fox statue, Senju Hime frowned slightly. The Nine-Tailed Fox's malice had no effect on her.

The reason she stopped was because she was curious about when Danzo had contact with the Uzumaki clan.
"Forget it, the Tailed Beast Rider system is more important."

"She hasn't fallen yet. You are worthy of being the daughter of Senju Tobirama."

"It's not easy to achieve this at such a young age."

"Ah? She moved! She went in~!"

Just as the audience was admiring Senju Hima's strong will, she actually stepped over the Nine-Tails statue with ease. The whole movement was smooth and there was no sign of obstruction.
"If the white-haired man knows what's going on in the spring, you can close your eyes in peace now."

Seeing Senju Hime pass the test easily, Izunai, who was slapped in the face, felt a burning sensation on his face. Facing Uchiha Gin's teasing gaze, he coughed lightly and said seriously,
"hehe."

"My dear cousin! Look! Why is that woman here too?"

Before Uchiha Gin could sneer, Uchiha Izuna's face changed when he saw a flash of red.
A slender figure in a white robe walked out of the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, she leisurely passed the Nine-Tailed Fox statue and disappeared into the passage.
"That woman just now, is she from the Uzumaki clan?"

"Didn't they say that only people from Konoha can participate? If I had known, I would have asked my distant cousin from the Land of Lightning to participate as well~"

"Shady! Shady!"

"Danzo! I need an explanation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head with a dark look on his face and questioned Danzo behind him,

The recruitment notice clearly states the household registration restrictions, and now you’ve brought a foreigner in. Don’t you want to be an elder anymore?
"Don't worry, Monkey. She just wants to experience it."

While Danzo was explaining to his friends why Uzumaki Mito was recruiting, Uchiha Gin was also educating his frightened little cousin.
"Izuna, calm down. You're almost going to be a grandfather, can't you be as calm as me? You can't be calm even when the sky is falling???"

Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of three familiar figures who were supposed to be buying snacks. His half-closed eyes suddenly widened.

"Senior Hikaru, Banjian, isn't this the line for buying popcorn?"
