Konoha's Hextech Ninja

At this point, it already poses a considerable threat to the four girls: Uzumaki Karin, Hyuga Hinata, Kurama Yakumo, and Shion.

"That sounds interesting." Shion thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If possible, I'd like to participate too. But do you need teammates to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

"Don't worry about your teammates, everything's already taken care of," Yagami Yoruichi said.

Orochimaru had a group of abducted young men and women under his command, many of whom were highly talented individuals with bloodline limits.

Under Yagami Yoruichi's guidance, some bloodline limit ninjas who were not 'kidnapped' by Orochimaru in the original work, such as Haku, were also recruited by Orochimaru.

Finding two teammates for Ziyuan couldn't be easier.

Just then, an ANBU member arrived in a flash, knelt on one knee before Yagami Yoruichi, and respectfully said, "Yoruichi-sama, the Hokage-sama is asking if you should temporarily add more members to the exam."

"Is the deadline approaching?" Yagami Yoruichi didn't answer the Anbu's question, but instead looked at Shion.

Shion smiled and said, "If you could, please help me register, Yoruichi-nii-san..."

I don't know when it started, but she began to call Yagami Yoruichi the same way Hinata Hyuga, calling him "Yoruichi-nii" (Yoruichi-nii-chan).

"Then I'll register you." Yagami Yoru nodded and handed three registration forms to the Anbu.

The three application forms contained the names of Shion, Guren, and Tayuya.

The identity represented is that of the 'Sound Village', which Orochimaru specially created for this Chunin Exams.

The secret service noticed this, but didn't ask any further questions. They took the registration form and left.

"That's enough training for today. The official exam is in two days, so do your best then." Yagami Yoruichi said, and was about to leave when he saw countless images flashing in Shion's eyes.

These images are so blurry that they are impossible to discern.

It's not a matter of 'eyesight'.

Rather, it is the vision of the future seen through the prophetic ability derived from the 'shrine maiden's power' that only Shion herself can see.

Others, no matter how powerful, cannot see it unless they possess the same prophetic power.

At most, someone like Yoruichi Yagami knows that Shion has activated her prophetic abilities, but cannot know what she actually saw.

"Has the power of prophecy been passively triggered again?" Yagami Yoruichi asked.

Shion's control over the power of the priestess can only be described as preliminary, not perfect.

Even after several months of intensive training, there are still occasional instances of him losing control.

The most common occurrence was that the ability to predict the future was inexplicably triggered, resulting in seeing images of the 'future'.

However, after many such instances, Yoruichi Yagami came to understand that the future seen in prophecies was not necessarily unchangeable.

If you have enough strength, changing the 'future' is an easy thing.

If one's strength surpasses all the targets mentioned in the prophecy, then whether the prophesied future will come true depends entirely on whether Yagami Yoruichi wants it to happen.

On this planet, among the known powerful beings, there is none strong enough that Yagami Yoruichi cannot resist.

Therefore, Yagami Yoruichi's attitude towards the so-called prophecy was indifferent, just like she would with any ordinary ninjutsu ability. She regarded it as just a special technique of Shion, and did not care too much about the content of the prophecy itself.

“No, I initiated this myself. I wanted to see Yoruichi’s future,” Shion said with a smile, but did not reveal what she had seen.

Seeing that Shion didn't want to talk about it, Yagami Yoruichi didn't ask any further questions, said goodbye to Shion, and left.

Before the Chunin Exams begin, it's best to make the most of the time to go on several dates with Kurenai Yuhi.

Once the Chunin Exams begin, I'll be busy and won't have as much time.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi leave, Shion's face instantly flushed red.

"Yoruichi-nii is such a womanizer, attracting so many girls..."

"But this Chunin Exam is the opportunity I've been waiting for."

"The key lies with Karin and Hinata! Only by cooperating with them can we secure a place for Yoruichi."

"Should we try to persuade them? No, we can't persuade them, we have to subdue them by force!"

"We must seize this opportunity in the Chunin Exams!"

Ziyuan muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with countless images of the future.

Chapter 257 "Are you a ninja of Konoha or a ninja of Mount Myōboku?"

The main gate of Konoha.

The teams from each village seemed to have agreed on a date, arriving precisely at the same time, with no more than a minute separating them.

All the small ninja villages are led by their leaders personally.

The village of Sunagakure and the village of Kumogakure even sent their own 'Kage' to show Konoha great respect.

"Lord Hokage, I am Huangtu." Huangtu handed over the diplomatic letter and explained, "Lord Tsuchikage is getting old and it is really inconvenient for him to travel far, so I will lead the team. Please forgive me, Lord Hokage."

"Hokage-sama, I am Mei Terumi." Mei Terumi explained, "The Mizukage is unwell and unable to go out, so I will lead the team from Kirigakure."

Normally, it would be perfectly reasonable to send a senior elite Jonin to lead such a task; there's nothing to explain.

But seeing the Kazekage and Raikage arrive in person, they were afraid that others would think they were being treated specially and use this as an excuse to target them, so they could only lower their heads slightly and adopt a humble attitude.

"It's alright. There was no rule that the Kage of a village had to lead the team personally." Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Everyone, Konoha will provide you with all the necessities such as food and lodging during the Chunin Exams. However, please abide by Konoha's rules, do not trespass into forbidden areas, and do not cause trouble. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!"

Perhaps because of Yagami Yoruichi's 'backing', Tsunade acted very tough.

As Tsunade spoke, a ninja beside her held up a diagram showing the areas where each ninja village's teams lived, as well as the areas where all 'outer village ninjas' were allowed to move around.

"Anyone who dares to cross the line will receive a warning the first time, and will be considered a spy the second time and killed on the spot!" Tsunade announced firmly. "Anyone who has objections can still back out now!"

"This is too forceful." In the crowd, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, frowned, glanced at the Kazekage guard beside him, and then looked at his three children.

The latter was the only team from Sunagakure to participate in the Chunin Exams.

It's not that we don't want to send more people, it's just that Sunagakure can't provide any more genin with sufficient strength.

In fact, his eldest child, Temari, had already been promoted to Chunin two years ago.

However, not many people know about this.

In order to prevent Sunagakure from losing face in this 'arms race', he deliberately revoked Temari's Chunin status and made her participate in the Chunin Exams again as a Genin.

"Lord Kazekage," Ma Ji said quietly beside Rasa, "Konoha's style is not the same as before."

During the time of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha was a typical example of a "good guy".

However, judging from the current situation, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade is a typical hardliner.

This is definitely not good news for Sunagakure, a village with weak strength but located right next to Konoha.

the other side.

The Fourth Raikage's gaze searched through the crowd, but he couldn't find the face that he both hated and feared.

"Lord Raikage." A hand rested on the Fourth A's shoulder: "Don't be impulsive, the village can't afford any more damage."

"I know!" The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth and said, "I tolerated Yugito and Bee being held hostage in Konoha for the sake of the village! But what does Konoha take us for?!"

"No matter how great the humiliation, for the sake of the village, we must endure it!" Mabui said seriously in a low voice, "Don't forget, you promised Lord Tsuchida before you came out!"

"I……"

The fourth generation of Ai felt extremely aggrieved.

Given his character, he would rather die a glorious death in battle than bow down to the enemy.

However, the Hidden Cloud Village and its many ninjas forced him to set aside his arrogance and restrain his volatile temper.

"Samui, Omoi, Karui!" The Fourth Hokage, A, struggled to suppress his anger and ordered, "There are no limits on casualties in the Chunin Exams. Go all out and kill them all! Even if it doesn't affect Konoha's strength, you have to avenge them!"

……

"Is this Konoha? It's definitely much more prosperous than the Land of Rain..."

A girl with short purple hair and a Kirigakure headband looked at the bustling scene in Konoha, her mind preoccupied with the task assigned by her teacher. She secretly observed her surroundings, trying to capture any valuable information and memorize it.

……

"Kimimaro." Orochimaru, without concealing his face and wearing the headband of the Sound Village, said to the white-haired boy beside him, "I allow you to go all out in this Chunin Exam. Don't worry about your body; that person has already promised me that he will completely cure your bloodline disease after this Chunin Exam."

"Let me see just how far your flower of life can bloom!"

Orochimaru said with anticipation in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" Kimimaro replied, then coldly said to his two companions, "Haku and Suigetsu, you two are not allowed to hold us back, or I'll kill you!"

"Ugh, why did I get assigned to your team? I'd rather team up with that violent woman, Guren." Hozuki Suigetsu complained, rubbing his forehead with one hand. "Without my beloved Executioner's Blade, I can't even unleash my full potential."

"Although I don't like fighting, I will do my best if Kimimaro and Lord Orochimaru need me to," said Xiao Nanliang 'Bai', who looked like a girl, with a smile and her eyes curving into crescents.

……

Above the Hokage Rock.

Yoruichi Yagami sat on the Hokage Rock, looking down at Konoha below.

Although Konoha in this world has a longer history of development, it is not as prosperous as the Konoha in the world where Yoruichi Yagami originally lived.

It's not that Tsunade's abilities are inferior to Sakumo Hatake's, but rather that Yoruichi Yagami didn't care as much about the development of Konoha in this world as he did in the original world.

Or perhaps that's not entirely accurate.

To be precise, it should be that Yagami Yoruichi's plans for the two worlds are not quite the same.

Yagami Yoruichi initially viewed this world as merely a "passerby," intending to plunder valuable technologies, talents, and resources before returning to her original world with them.

Nearly ten years have passed, and Yagami Yoruichi has still not found a way to safely return to her original world. Instead, the bonds she has formed in this world are growing deeper and deeper.

To this day, Yoruichi Yagami can no longer see herself merely as a 'passerby'.

"Therefore, Konoha in this world, or rather the Land of Fire, also needs to develop properly."

Yoruichi Yagami thought to herself, "I'll begin after I've dealt with Black Zetsu. As for Isshiki Otsutsuki, he won't be so easy to find..."

Just then, Yagami Yoruichi's ear twitched slightly, catching a very faint footstep.

However, Yoruichi Yagami did not turn around.

Without using any special abilities, relying solely on her natural five senses, Yagami Yoruichi 'heard' that the footsteps belonged to Jiraiya.

"Hey, so relaxed today?" Jiraiya greeted Yagami Yoruichi in a very familiar manner.
