Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 141 Joint Chunin Exam
"Yes." Cardo took the order and left with sweat on his forehead. Yes, as one of the shadows of the five major countries, Uchiha Toguchi has the ability to decide the pattern of this continent.

In the next few days, after the newly arrived Karin and her daughter met their current clan leader, their lives gradually got back on track. Uzumaki Anri's health was taken care of by Tsunade personally, and Karin was arranged into Naruto's class by Uchiha Tokou.

Then, there was a new classmate in Naruto's sealing technique class every night.

But as she learned more, Karin became somewhat dissatisfied with her current clan leader.

"Are you really the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan?" Karin asked Naruto, who was scratching his head at a yin-yang seal.

"Don't talk yet! I'll be done soon!" Naruto obviously didn't have time to pay attention to Karin at the moment. At this moment, he was concentrating on maintaining the technique on the sealing scroll.

"The position is wrong!" Karin looked at the scroll that the other party was pointing at and said with her hand on her forehead.

Sure enough, the next moment, Naruto's chakra directly tore the scroll apart, and at this moment, a pile of scrapped scrolls had piled up beside him.

Naruto dejectedly piled the scrapped scroll aside, then took out a new scroll.

"Why did Mr. Douguang give me the task of teaching you the Yin-Yang Seal?" At this time, Karin said with a look of despair, "And it's obviously very simple, why can't you learn it?"

"I want to learn it too, but I always fall short. What can I do?" Naruto said angrily.

"Alas, if it weren't for your abnormal recovery ability, I would really doubt whether you were one of our tribe." Karin said, "Not only is your hair color different from mine and my mother's, but your sealing technique is also terrible."

"Forget it, let's do it again." Karin said, "After all, you are my clan leader."

"Please!" Naruto also cheered up and pulled out another blank scroll, "I'll treat you to ramen after class."

During this time at school, Karin had a pretty good relationship with Naruto and Sasuke.

When she first came to school, Karin was ridiculed because of her hair color, just like Kukona was back then, but soon, those who ridiculed her experienced the iron fist of the Seven Stars Society bully. Naruto seemed to really want to be a good clan leader and protect his own people. He usually smiled at everyone, but when faced with people who laughed at Karin, he would take action directly, and Sasuke and the others would not just stand by and watch, so in just two days, no one in the entire ninja school dared to laugh at Karin's hair color anymore.

Karin, who had little experience of friendship since childhood, naturally cherished the friends she met because of Naruto. Therefore, even if teaching Naruto the sealing technique was indeed a huge torture, Karin would only complain a few words at most.

At this moment, someone helped the tortured Uchiha Douguang, who was leisurely making tea in the Hokage's office.

But it didn't take long before Uchiha Inahime knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in." Uchiha Douguang shouted casually.

Uchiha Inahime walked into the office, saluted, and reported: "Hokage-sama, Iwagakure sent someone to deliver a letter."

"A letter from Iwagakure?" Uchiha Douguang raised an eyebrow and said, "Bring it here."

"Yes!" Uchiha Inahimi handed a letter to Uchiha Douguang.

After Uchiha Douguang took it, he looked at the letter sealed with the Iwagakure wax seal and couldn't help but laugh: "That old guy Ohnoki made it quite formal."

Uchiha Tokou opened the envelope and read the letter that Ohnoki sent him.

In the letter, Ohnoki first congratulated Uchiha Tokou on becoming the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. After writing half a page of nonsense, Uchiha Tokou finally saw some useful information.

The Iwagakure Village invited Konoha to participate in their joint Chunin Exam.

"Joint Chunin Exam?" Uchiha Douguang looked at the letter sent by Ōnoki with great interest, thinking to himself, "Is the old guy finally going to make a move?"

"Inahori." Uchiha Douguang raised his head and shouted.

"Here I am."

"Who is the current chief instructor of the guard team?" Uchiha Douguang asked. Since he took office as Hokage, he has not been involved in the affairs of the guard team except for inspecting them every two or three weeks.

"The chief instructor of the guard team? It's Brother Shisui." Uchiha Inahiri replied.

"So it's Shisui?" Uchiha Douguang nodded.

After the coup, Uchiha Tokou originally planned to let Shisui come to Anbu as a captain, but the death of Uchiha Itachi plunged him into deep internal friction.

Now the Fugaku family has gradually come over the death of Uchiha Itachi. Only Shisui has always believed that if he had advised Itachi a few more times, Itachi would not have ended up like this.

So, after that day, Shisui declined Uchiha Tokou's application for promotion and just took a leisurely position in the guard corps. Kakashi also understood the feeling of being completely powerless after seeing a friend pass away, so he arranged for Shisui to be the chief instructor of the guard corps. His daily job was just to teach the team members during their training time after patrol.

"Let him come over." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Yes." Uchiha Inahori took the order and left.

Not long after, Shisui arrived at the Hokage's office, saluted Uchiha Douguang and asked, "Hokage-sama, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's not working hours yet, there's no need to be so distant." Uchiha Douguang said, pouring Shisui a cup of tea. "Come to think of it, this is your first time in the Hokage's office since I became the Godaime, Shisui."

"Yeah." Shisui looked up at the Hokage's office, whose furnishings were completely different from the Sandaime's, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To be honest, his previous detour started from this office.

"Dou Guang, tell me, what's the matter with you calling me here?" After a while, Shisui looked at Uchiha Dou Guang and asked.

"Are you the one training the members of the guard team? Among the new members recruited before, are there any talented ones who have reached the standard of Chunin?" Uchiha Douguang asked.

"If we only go by the village's Chuunin standards, there are a few with outstanding talents," Shisui said, "But why are you asking this suddenly?"

Uchiha Doukou handed Ohnoki's letter to Shisui. After reading it, Shisui frowned, "Joint Chunin Exam? If we use this standard, then there wouldn't be a single Genin in the guard team who meets the standards."

Generally speaking, this kind of joint Chunin exam is usually used as a stage for the village to show its strength to the outside world, so the strength requirements for Genin going to other villages will be a little more stringent than the requirements of ordinary Chunin assessments. After all, going out represents the face of the village. Therefore, every time such a joint Chunin exam is held, the participating ninja villages will send their own super geniuses to compete. Some small ninja villages will even suppress the levels of some ninjas who have some talent but not enough, and do some operations with older Genin.

The ninja villages of the five major countries, except for the Wind Country, generally do not do this because they cannot afford to lose face.

"If Sasuke and the others had grown up a few years later, this joint Chunin exam would have been the best stage for them to become famous in the ninja world. But now, although I hate to admit it, there are currently no super geniuses in the village."

"Alas, if Itachi had graduated normally, his age would be just right." Shisui sighed at this time.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Because of the current situation of the village, I plan to use this joint Chunin exam as an opportunity for the Genin of the guard team to broaden their horizons. As for the final results, I won't force it." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Don't you insist on high grades?" Shisui frowned slightly upon hearing this. "But if the village's Genin performs too poorly, it would be a disgrace to you as the Hokage."

"What kind of shame can I have?" Uchiha Douguang said with a smile, "Believe it or not, even if our ninjas really performed poorly, the Iwagakure Village, as the organizer, would find a way to make things look good for me."

Shisui was a little confused and looked at Uchiha Tokou with a bewildered look.

"This is the confidence our ancestors gave us." Uchiha Douguang said.

"But no matter what, you still have to work hard these few days. Select a few talented people from the guard team and teach them some B-level ninjutsu. As long as their performance is acceptable, it will be fine." Uchiha Douguang instructed.

"I understand." Shisui nodded.

After Shisui left, Uchiha Touma also left work from the Hokage Building a while later.

After returning home, Uchiha Douguang also went to the study. Seeing Naruto still struggling in a sea of ​​sealing scrolls, Uchiha Douguang walked over with a smile.

"How's your study going?" Uchiha Douguang asked.

"Teacher Dou Guang."

"teacher."

When the two saw Uchiha Douguang arriving, they hurriedly looked up and greeted him.

"I still don't know!" Naruto's little face was about to burst into tears, "Do I really have to learn this? Teacher, don't you also know..."

"Shut up, traitor!" Uchiha Douguang slapped Naruto on the back of the head. "And I'm different from you! I understand the principle of that thing! It's just that I can't control the strength! Unlike you, you haven't even entered the door of sealing technique!"

Naruto covered his head and looked at Uchiha Douguang with grievance. After a while, Uchiha Douguang sighed.

"Forget it, you are a genius, you shouldn't waste your talent on learning this stuff." Uchiha Douguang said helplessly, "After a while, I will teach you some other ninjutsu."

"I don't need to learn this anymore?" Naruto immediately became alert when he heard this.

"I want you to learn the sealing technique because I don't want the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique to be lost in your generation." Uchiha Douguang said, "But since you really don't have the talent, then forget it."
