Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

Tsunade paused for a moment and then said, "It will be done by drawing lots on the spot."

As she spoke, she pulled her feet back up and put her legs together.

Being stared at by the oil-loving Zhihui, she inexplicably felt a little itchy.

"Drawing lots is fairer."

Tsunade looked at him and said, "If you want to cheat, I can arrange it for you."

Is this implying that I should use connections?

When did you also learn to operate behind the scenes?

Aburame Shiki asked with some surprise, "As the Hokage, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"The Hokage's power is unlimited."

Tsunade laughed and said, "I'll do whatever I want."

"I do not need."

Yu Nuzhi waved her hand in refusal, saying, "It doesn't matter who my opponent is anyway."

"Too."

Tsunade agreed.

"Teacher, where's my reward?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui blinked and asked."

"..."

Tsunade's smile froze. She glared at him and said, "We'll talk after you win."

"Then I look forward to that day."

Oil Girl Zhihui gave an irrelevant answer.

Tsunade curled her lips.

Rewards are usually given, but what should be given?

For a moment, she felt a little lost.

late at night.

Yu Nu Zhihui woke up.

He opened the door and went into the living room.

The moonlight is lovely tonight.

Although the lights were off, Shiki Aburame could clearly see what was happening in the darkness.

Jingyin lay casually on the sofa, her long, fair legs spread out on either side.

She pressed the back of her hand against her forehead, her eyes were closed, and her face looked exhausted.

"Sister Shizune".

Oil Girl Zhihui stepped forward, squatted down, and called out softly.

"Zhihui?"

Shizune turned her head and met his eyes.

The two were very close, and she couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart.

"You...why aren't you asleep yet?"

Silent gaze shifted to the other side.

"I heard a noise, so I woke up."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui explained."

"Sorry, I woke you up."

"I'm a little embarrassed," said Jingyin.

"nothing."

Yu Nu Zhihui stood up and said, "I'll go cook you a bowl of ramen."

Jingyin stared at his figure, lost in thought.

She instinctively tucked her hair behind her ears, feeling a little panicked.

Soon, a steaming bowl of ramen was placed in front of her.

"Thank you."

Shizune took the ramen and said, "Go to sleep."

"Good night."

Yu Nu Zhihui waved to her and went back to his room.

Only after the door was closed did Shizune turn her gaze away.

She looked down at the fragrant ramen.

Things really do change when you grow up.

She used to take care of You Nu Zhihui, but now it's the other way around.

But it's pretty good.

……

Time flies by.

The day of the Chunin Exams arrived quickly.

For the past month, Team 7 has not left the village and has been training there.

Yu Nu Zhihui is a free practitioner.

Uchiha Sasuke and Karin, on the other hand, were completely outmaneuvered by Hatake Kakashi.

From morning till night, there is no rest.

In order to advance to the three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Sasuke took the initiative to train extra.

When Karin couldn't take it anymore, she ran to Aburame Shiki's place.

After being reprimanded, she returned to training.

The venue for the Chunin Exams.

The stands were already full.

Just like last time, in addition to the villagers of Konoha, there were also many ninjas.

For example, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Kurenai Yuhi.

Oil Girl Zhihui arrived the latest.

Because he and Tsunade went to the Hokage Building.

"Zhihui-kun!"

Yamanaka Ino called out to him from afar.

Hinata Hyuga looked up at him.

Suddenly, their pupils contracted, and strange emotions appeared uncontrollably on their faces.

Karin ran straight up and grabbed Aburame Shiki's arm.

"How terrible."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said something that was unclear.

"Meaningless."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

"If Sakura could treat me like that, my youth would be even more brilliant."

Looking at the surrounded Shiki Aburame, Rock Lee recalled the day he was rejected by Sakura Haruno.

Beneath the setting sun lies his lost youth.

Hyuga Neji frowned slightly.

He is biased towards Hinata Hyuga.

However, the competition is currently very fierce.

However, there's nothing he can do to help with this.

"Stand still."

Aburame Shiki pulled his arm away and glared at Karin.

Karin wasn't afraid at all; instead, she looked at him with a smile.

But she didn't make any further advances.

Oil Girl Zhihui ignored her and glanced around.

All participants in the finals have arrived.

Sunagakure is named after Shira, Sen, and Yome.

The rest all came from Konoha Village.

Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Rock Lee, Hyuga Neji, Yamanaka Ino, Aburame Torune, Kurama Yakumo, and Aburame Shino.

There's also Karin, who was forcibly brought in through her connection with Shiki Aburame.

Logically speaking, since she failed the first and second rounds, she shouldn't have participated directly in the third round.

However, Tsunade took into account the situations of Shiro, Sen, and Yome, and agreed to her request.

Unlike the last Chunin Exams, this time the opening address was given by the new Kazekage, Gaara.
