Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

That's how it is for now.

"For our Sunagakure, it's already a stroke of luck to be able to maintain our status as one of the Five Great Villages. Let's not even think about defeating Konoha and changing the situation."

Chiyo sighed, "If that day ever comes, Sunagakure will probably be on the verge of extinction."

"You mean Xiao?"

"Yes, I didn't say this before, but Sasori is in the Akatsuki organization."

Chapter 314 Aren't you from Kumogakure?

"Scorpion is in the Akatsuki?"

Ebizo was extremely surprised, then lowered his voice, "Where did you get this information? From Konoha?"

Chiyo nodded.

Ebizo paused for a long time before saying, "Is it possible that they deliberately released a signal to get us to join forces with them to deal with the Akatsuki?"

"That's unlikely, because Kirigakure was also attacked, and if such an organization really existed, do you think Sasori wouldn't join it?"

"..."

Ebizo had nothing to say.

Because the answer is yes.

Scorpion has always been fearless, and research is very expensive. With an organization supporting and protecting him, how could he not go?

In terms of strength, Neji's power is comparable to that of a Jonin.

Everyday Knows has a shortcut—

It can only be said that everyone took this into consideration and didn't want to send a true genin to their death.

Use those two puppets.

"It's nothing. If he really goes back to the village, I will kill him without hesitation."

The underground tunnels of giant ants.

"Fine, a squad of genin. Since they won't follow our orders, let them die."

of course.

Especially the first year.

"Quite a few of the Sand Village members have been eliminated."

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village did not participate in their Chunin Exams before. All ninja promotions were arranged internally, which meant that some ninjas who had already reached Chunin strength still participated in the exams.

But there is a problem.

He remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "So, that child is now... Sister."

Ino communicates using her mental power.

Ebizo said coldly.

"Lord Ebizo."

Shikamaru calmly stated, "The person in charge of strategic direction in Sunagakure should be replaced recently."

Although everyone may not be at the same entrance, they can quickly gather later.

Both Kumogakure and Kirigakure conservatively sent out only one or two small teams.

"You mean, he thinks the other ninja villages are too strong?"

Shikamaru thought for a moment and said, "You can remind Tenten, Neji, and Shino, and then you should get some rest. The second exam might be a tough battle later."

It's probably to pay for that guy's research.

As for putting in some effort.

Chiyo looked up at the sky, a thought silently flashing through her mind.

and.

"That might be one of the considerations, but it could also be to preserve their strength. The Sand Village suffered heavy losses in the last defeat, and their village is already very resource-scarce, so making this decision is the right thing to do."

Ebizo frowned slightly: "Ziro? Who is he?"

At that moment, Maki appeared in an instant.

For example, Neji.

……

"what happened again?"

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not necessarily that they were eliminated; it's possible that Sunagakure gave up on their own initiative."

Ino looked around and whispered to Shikamaru.

Machi reported.

Maki bowed his head: "Yes."

"A genin who only knows taijutsu, so we haven't paid much attention to him. But then an accident suddenly happened. Should we forcefully stop him now?"

Konoha and Sunagakure also have this type of situation.

That's the problem with having many participating villages.

Not long after, Ino used her mental energy to tell Neji, Tenten, and Shino about Shikamaru's assessment, and the three Konoha teams nodded in agreement.

"Should we tell them?"

"As you instructed, almost all members of our team withdrew from the exam, except for Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, and a genin team named Shiro who refused to withdraw."

Many members of the giant ant clan migrated to the Forest of Death in Konoha. After nearly a year of recuperation, they have been transformed into beings similar to parasitic insects and have formed a contract with the Aburame clan.

therefore……

If Shino were smart enough, he could definitely use the underground passages to quickly traverse and gather intelligence.

not to mention.

They also mastered acoustic detection technology, making it easy to gather signals.

The second exam has begun.

Chiba and the others gathered at their usual spot, observing the situation in the examination hall.

It's still the Desert of Demons.

The desert in the Land of Wind is vast, but it's the only place that can truly be used for testing.

"Chiba, Chojuro of Kirigakure, should be at least an elite Chunin to be able to serve as the Mizukage's bodyguard, right?"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat worried.

Chiba knew her worries and couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't we the same? Judging by strength, Neji could be a Jonin, and Sasuke would be even stronger if he took the exam."

"makes sense."

Kai nodded in agreement. "We also have a few villages that are over the limit. With two more ninja villages suddenly participating, most villages have chosen to avoid the competition and wait and see. So the intensity this time won't be too exaggerated."

"Amegakure..."

Asma looked into the distance.

There were quite a few participants from Amegakure, and three teams passed the first test, though their strength didn't seem particularly formidable.

With the strength of Amegakure, surely they shouldn't be like this?

Kurenai Yuhi was also somewhat puzzled: "I heard that Hanzo hasn't left Amegakure for a long time. He may have had less contact with the outside world after the great war, so I don't know about the current situation."

"Perhaps, after all, Amegakure suffered heavy losses in the previous Shinobi World War."

Kai had a heated discussion.

Chiba smiled without saying a word.

do not know?

How could that be? The Akatsuki organization now wants to monitor their villages every day and have complete control over their situation.

Compared to the original Amegakure ninja, this batch is much smaller, with only three teams. The other two or three teams were eliminated in the first round.

Hydrangea was among the teams that made it into the second round.

Chiba sensed his surroundings, occasionally using his sonic detection technique.

The giant ant race has reached the bottom of the desert.

Ants are not as good at scouting as traditional parasites, but they are much better at fighting than ordinary parasites. Even ordinary parasites with magical powers cannot compare to them.

after all.

They had accumulated some natural energy while living in the Demon Desert.

Knowing roughly that he was here, Bai Jue didn't come to join the fun.

Chiba can sense the abundant natural energy in the desert.

The so-called Desert of Demons...

A large part of the reason is that natural energy is too strong.

Chiba seemed lost in thought.

If a fake sacred tree were planted here, both Konoha and Sunagakure would be very happy.

Unfortunately not.

Chiba could never trust Sunagakure's integrity with something like a counterfeit sacred tree, because people like Rasa have no integrity whatsoever.

The same applies to Ebizo.

Chiba used his telescope technique to observe the situation in the examination room.
