Chapter 167 Chunin Examination, Danzo's new goal! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

In the Land of Rain, in the Rain Village, it is drizzling.

Xing Xiaxiu, who was standing watching the rain, turned around when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Teacher Xiu!"

Nagato and the other two saluted in unison.

Xingxia Xiu took out three forms and handed them to them: "Chunin Examination Application Form!"

Yahiko was immediately excited when he saw this: "Can I finally become a Chunin?"

Xing Xiaxiu said: "That may not be the case."

"This time the Chunin exam will not be held in the village, but in Konoha."

Konoha?

Yahiko and the other two looked at Hoshita Hide in confusion.

Hoshishita Xiu said: "Konoha has invited the village to hold the Chunin Joint Examination. The village has agreed. You will represent the village to go to Konoha to participate."

"Then you will be competing with Konoha's Genin."

Yahiko patted his chest and said, "Teacher Xiu, don't worry. We will never embarrass you."

Nagato whispered a reminder: "Teacher is a ninja from Konoha."

"Forehead……"

Yahiko was a little embarrassed, and then he tried to explain: "This is not important. Anyway, we are the teacher's disciples, and we must not embarrass the teacher."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said: "This time, Konoha invited not only the Rain Village, but also the Kusagakure Village, the Taki Village, the Hot Spring Village, and the Sand Village."

Xiaonan couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, didn't the Sand Village and Konoha just end the war not long ago?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "But the covenant has been signed, so it can be considered an alliance, even if it is only temporary."

Yahiko looked at Hoshita Hide with admiration and said, "It's because the Third Kazekage was killed by the teacher, so he needs to lie dormant!"

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "That's what I mean."

"Okay, take the form back, fill it out, and hand it in."

"Also, practice well during this period."

"Please be forewarned. I also have several disciples in Konoha."

As soon as these words came out, Yahiko's smile disappeared immediately.

Nagato and Konan also became serious.

Being a teacher's disciple must be taken seriously.

at the same time.

Konoha, on the rooftop.

Hoshita Hide also handed a form to each of the three people, Minato Namikaze: "This is the application form for the Chunin Examination."

"This is a joint assessment of several ninja villages, so you go and try it."

"Minato, there's a team battle, so you should join in too!"

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Understood!"

Xingxia Xiu reminded again: "There are also geniuses from other ninja villages this time, so don't be careless."

Uzumaki waved his fist and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiu, with Minato here, there will be no problem."

Namikaze Minato smiled modestly and said, "Kushina, it's not that exaggerated."

Uzumaki Kushina snorted, "Minato, you're good in everything except being too delicate."

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh awkwardly.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke watched the show.

Xingxia Xiu taught: "Minato is called restraint."

"Alright, there's still some time before the start. Even if you're resting, you can't slack off in your training. Let's go!"

"understand!"

Uzumaki Kushina and the other two accepted the order in unison, then performed the instantaneous body-flickering technique and disappeared.

Xingxiaxiu also disappeared from the rooftop.

The time soon came to October 7st.

Konoha Village began to become lively.

The Sand Village, the Amegakure, the Kusagakure, the Takigakure, the Hot Spring Village... ninjas from one ninja village after another appeared in Konoha.

At this time, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan also came to Konoha under the leadership of a Rain Ninja Jonin Ji Yu.

"This place seems to be more prosperous than the village!"

Walking on the street, Xiaonan couldn't help but whisper.

Yahiko said: "After all, it is the most powerful ninja village, and the Land of Fire is the richest country."

"But I believe that the Rain Country and the village can become like this in the future."

Nagato and Konan nodded in unison after hearing this.

"Something seems to have happened up ahead."

Xiaonan said suddenly.

Yahiko and Nagato looked back ahead, and sure enough, there were many people gathered around, and they were all young ninjas.

"Go and have a look."

Yahiko immediately stepped forward quickly.

The three of them walked over and found that it was a confrontation between Konoha ninjas and Sand ninjas.

"That guy is a puppeteer."

Yahiko whispered.

Nagato and Konan's eyes also fell on the ninja carrying the bandaged puppet on his back. He looked to be about eight or nine years old, about the same age as them, but at this moment he exuded a cold murderous aura.

On the opposite side, there were Nawaki, Uzumaki Erika, and their companion Hinata Hui.

Sheng Shu frowned: "This guy is very different."

The strong man they were just discussing was inexplicably targeted by this Sand Ninja.

He felt the murderous intent from the other party.

"Konoha White Fang... My name is Scorpion. I will challenge him in the future and defeat him!"

Scorpion said coldly, then turned and left.

Sheng Shu and the other two were stunned when they heard this.

"Does this guy have a grudge against Senior White Fang?"

Rope Tree muttered.

Hinata Hui said: "Perhaps his parents were killed by Senior White Fang. After all, we just finished the war with them."

"But it's a bit too early to say that now. Senior White Fang is a powerful elite jonin."

Sheng Shu nodded after hearing this, then raised his fist and said, "If I meet this guy in the assessment, I will definitely make him pay."

At this time, the onlookers dispersed, and some were disappointed that there were only a few harsh words.

However, Konoha White Fang is very famous, and now he has threatened to defeat Konoha White Fang in the future. Scorpion from the Sand Village has become famous among the Genin of the major ninja villages.

Some people sneer, some don't care, and some feel that Scorpio is not simple.

Yahiko looked at Scorpion's back and said to Nagato and Konan, "This guy has such a strong murderous intent. It must be more than just hatred. I'm afraid he has seen blood. We must be careful when we meet him."

Nagato and Konan nodded in unison, and then they couldn't help but start discussing how to deal with the Puppet Master.

Although they often received actual combat training and had carried out many missions with Xing Xiaxiu's clones and had certain combat experience, they had never fought against the puppeteer, so they were very excited.

On the other side, Sheng Shu and the other two couldn't help but start a discussion.

Especially Shengshu, his left leg is a puppet prosthesis.

At the entrance of the alley further away, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Shinnosuke Sarutobi were also watching the excitement from afar.

But at this moment Uzumaki Kushina was complaining: "Minato, it's all your fault for being too slow. We should go help Erika and the others."

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly: "We won't fight in a place like this."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke withdrew his gaze from Scorpion and said, "Minato, do you know that guy?"

"He actually threatened to challenge and defeat Senior White Fang."

In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's understanding, his teacher is a strong man in the same league as his father and Danzo, and is one of the strongest people in Konoha.

And next up is a strong man like Konoha White Fang.

Then came the younger generation of jonin such as Jiraiya.

So, Scorpio is really arrogant.

Namikaze Minato shook his head: "I don't know him."

"Judging from his age, he probably graduated not long ago."

"Senior White Fang is very powerful. He has killed many Sand Ninjas on the battlefield. Perhaps his parents are among them?"

"But to be able to represent the Sand Village, he must be a genius. Be careful when you meet him."

Uzumaki Kushina raised her fist: "As long as we get rid of his puppets in the first place, he will be a toothless tiger."

Namikaze Minato reminded: "His puppet may not be just the one on his back."

……

"Scorpion, you should learn to hide your hatred."

Luo Sha suddenly appeared.

Scorpion glanced at Luosha and said, "Teacher, will Konoha White Fang care?"

Luo Sha frowned slightly. Xie said calmly, "There's no need to hide hatred."

“That’s one of the things that motivates me to improve.”

Luo Sha shook his head: "Of course the Konoha White Fang wouldn't care about a brat like you."

"But you are a genius. Just because the Konoha White Fang won't care doesn't mean the other organizations in Konoha won't care."

Scorpion said indifferently: "I believe in the teacher's ability."

Luo Sha said helplessly: "I don't have the confidence like you."

"However, a genius who has not experienced the hardships of life is not really a genius."

"A genius who dies young is not really a genius."

"Scorpion, you must perform well this time and let the people of Konoha see that we in Sunagakure are not without geniuses."

Scorpion nodded lightly.

Luo Sha then looked at Scorpion's two companions: "You too."

The two nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Luo Sha!"

……

On the roof, Xing Xiaxiu took in everything.

Next to him were Ryoma Aburame and Ryo Inuzuka of the Root.

The two came to find Xingxia Xiu on Danzo's orders.

"What do you think?"

Xingxia Xiu asked.

Aburame Ryoma said, "Rasa is said to have mastered Magnetic Release, and he has a chance to become the Fifth Kazekage in the future."

Inuzuka Ling nodded, then said, "That brat named Scorpion is the grandson of the Fourth Kazekage. His parents were killed by Senior White Fang during the Ninja World War. According to intelligence, he is a genius puppeteer."

Root's business is extensive.

Gathering intelligence on geniuses from rival ninja villages is also one of them.

Thanks to Yakushi Nono, information about the Sand Village is relatively easy to collect.

So even though Scorpion is just an 8-year-old kid, he has a share of the information.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the Fifth Kazekage."

Show the way under the stars.

Inuzuka Ling said: "The Sand Village also has a Burning Release, so there is a chance, right?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Scorch escape can't suppress the one-tail."

Luo Sha was able to become the Kazekage not only because he could find gold mines.

"Let's go!"

Hoshita Hide withdrew his gaze, turned and left, and Aburame Ryoma hurriedly followed.

After a while.

As soon as they came to a place where there were many Buddha statues, Xingxia Xiu stood opposite Danzo.

This place gave Xingxiaxiu a sense of déjà vu.

But before he could think about it, Danzo said, "Hideo, are you sure you can capture the other tailed beasts?"

Ok?
Other tailed beasts?

Xingxia Xiu's eyes twitched, and then he said, "It's no problem to capture it, but the village is still unable to withstand the joint attack of other ninja villages."

He did kill the Third Kazekage, but the Third Tsuchikage, the Third Raikage, and the Third Mizukage joined forces... Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen could hold one of them back, it would be very troublesome if two of them joined forces.

Especially if the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage join forces.

What is wrong with Danzo?

Xingxiaxiu was secretly puzzled.

Danzo said, "Of course I know this."

"If we don't use Wood Release, are you sure?"

"The child brought back from Kusagakure Village, who also has the Uzumaki clan bloodline, is suitable to become a Jinchūriki."

"I will advise Hiruzen to take her into the Root."

"Start with Takinin Village, capture the Seven-Tails, and let Erika become the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki."

Xingxia Xiu said: "I'm afraid the Sandaime won't agree."

Danzo snorted coldly: "You are right, the tailed beasts were separated by the first generation, and it is only right for the village to take them back."

"By secretly gathering the tailed beasts and adding your Wood Release, we are fully capable of subduing other ninja villages, just like the Shodaime back then."

Danzo deliberately ignored the existence of Uchiha Madara.

Xingxia Xiu didn't expect Danzo's heart to become so big all of a sudden.

He almost thought that Danzo was secretly seduced by Uchiha Madara and was going to kill the Ten-Tails!

It’s not that Xingxiaxiu is a fantasy.

Now many things have been changed by him. It is no longer certain what conspiracies and tricks Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu will plot while hiding in the dark.

It is possible that Danzo could be used to stir up the situation in the ninja world and facilitate the collection of the tailed beasts.

"Huruzen would agree."

"With you here, Konoha can definitely return to its glory as it did when the Shodaime was here."

Danzo said darkly: "If he disagrees, I will fully support you in becoming the Fourth Hokage."

"Once you take the position, you will naturally be able to push Konoha forward and eliminate all of Konoha's enemies."

Xingxia Xiu immediately vowed: "Sir Danzo, you are the most suitable person to lead Konoha."

"The Sandaime is indeed too weak."

"However, if you don't use the power of Wood Release, it's no problem to deal with the tailed beasts, but it's not enough to capture them alive."

"My attainments in sealing techniques are far from enough."

Danzo frowned, then said: "Then train Kushina well."

"If she can master the power of the Nine-Tails, combined with the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, you should have no problem cooperating."

"There's no need to rush this matter, just be prepared."

"As for Hiruzen..."

Danzo paused and said, "Don't resort to extreme measures like assassination unless it's absolutely necessary."

"In the current situation, it is entirely possible to use other methods to obtain the position of Hokage."

Xingxia Xiu said in a fake tone: "Yes, I understand. I will not act without the order of Danzo-sama."

Danzo nodded in satisfaction, then left with his men.

Hoshita Hide stood there, thinking in his heart how to kill his old boss Danzo in a fair and honest way.

Of course it is not difficult to kill Danzo.

But without a legitimate reason, killing Danzo would only lead to his estrangement from Konoha.

It's a pity that the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo is too complicated, otherwise if Hoshita Hide goes to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that Danzo wants to kill him, generally speaking, Danzo will be finished.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen is not ordinary.

"Although Konoha is thriving now, the loss of Danzo will not have any impact, but it will have an impact on Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule. Sarutobi Hiruzen will not kill Danzo."

Xing Xiaxiu pondered carefully: "Perhaps I can create some discord?"

"But Danzo hasn't made up his mind to assassinate him yet."

"hold on."

Of course, there are benefits to Danzo being alive.

That means taking the blame.

“Do I need this pot?”

Xing Xiaxiu thought about a very important question.

"Well, we still need it now."

After coming to a conclusion, Xingxia Xiu temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.

Alas, it is difficult to play a loyal character.

Sure enough, no matter what, as long as a character is established, there is a possibility of collapse.

As for the position of Hokage.
