Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 110 One and a Half Years

A month later, the third Chunin Exam was held as scheduled.

The Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage arrived in Konoha as scheduled.

However, despite the grand scale of the exam, the candidates' performance was not entirely satisfactory.

As mentioned before, every candidate who encountered Chika or Might Guy chose to give up the competition.

This made the exam seem somewhat anticlimactic.

Surprisingly, the Land of Wind benefited the most from this Chunin Exam.

Their people perfectly avoided Chiga and Might Guy, and performed exceptionally well in the third exam.

Seeing that their country still had so many talented people restored some of the confidence in Sunagakure, and after returning home, they invested a large sum of money in the village.

This has eased the competition between the Land of Wind and Konoha regarding the commission from the Land of River.

During this time, Chiga also met the Third Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage.

There's not much to say about the Third Kazekage; Sasori has already claimed his head. He's a dying man, so Chiga has no interest in paying too much attention to him.

The Third Tsuchikage had a white beard and white eyebrows, a bulbous nose and a large forehead, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he was very short, looking exactly like an old man from Chinese mythology.

Unfortunately, the birthday boy did not have a kind face when he saw Chihiro; his gloomy eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It was only because it was in Konoha that it happened; otherwise, the Third Tsuchikage would probably have disregarded his status and attacked Chiga on the spot.

After all, thirty genin who could participate in the Chunin Exams were a valuable force, and yet they all died in Konoha.

Even the Land of Earth, with the largest number of ninjas, would feel heartbroken.

Chiga didn't care about this at all. After talking with Kushina that day, Chiga knew that he wouldn't be leaving the village anytime soon.

So when faced with the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's glare that seemed to want to devour him, Chiga simply pursed his lips and even made a face.

This infuriated the Third Tsuchikage, and Chiga's emotional value skyrocketed.

Chiga was in a great mood upon seeing this. The only pity was that the reward she received from the Third Tsuchikage for the first time was rather poor. She was only given 6000 Earth Release experience points and did not manage to obtain the Dust Release.

Because the Third Tsuchikage still needed to discuss the matter of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki with Konoha, he stayed in Konoha Village for another three days.

During those three days, even though she was far away in the Uchiha clan's territory, Chiga could still feel the chakra fluctuations that occasionally erupted from the Hokage Building.

This included members of the Iwagakure ninja, as well as those from Konoha; even the Kage from both sides had clashes.

They just didn't actually fight.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw off the Third Tsuchikage, whose face was dark with satisfaction.

After the Third Tsuchikage left, Chiga's name appeared in the underground bounty office.

And the reward is 2000 million taels.

This is ridiculously high for a Chunin.

Such a high bounty, coupled with the fact that the target is only a seven-year-old boy, even knowing that this boy is a genius whose strength cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

But the ninja world is never short of geniuses. Money can tempt people, and many ninjas who were tempted by greed infiltrated Konoha to assassinate Chika.

Unfortunately, these people weren't very strong. Before they could find Chiga after entering Konoha, they were discovered by the Anbu and lost their lives.

After several attempts, those who accepted missions from the underground bounty agency realized that the mission was not so simple to complete, and the assassination attempts gradually subsided.

Since Chiga wouldn't be leaving the village anytime soon, Minato and Kakashi became a duo again.

Even without Chiga, the duo never encountered any unexpected problems, always successfully completing their missions and returning safely to the village.

This led the two to believe that Chiga was responsible for the accident during their mission and that he was a jinx, always saying things that came true.

Chiga naturally refused to admit it, but the facts were undeniable, and she couldn't refute them for the time being.

Chiga secretly made a mental note of this, planning to team up with the two of them again when she was finally able to leave the village, to prove that it wasn't her fault.

After that, he and Kushina devoted themselves to low-level tasks in the village, and incidentally caused some trouble in the village.

In an instant, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was thrown into chaos and filled with complaints by the two.

The complaints against the two of them are almost piling up on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi probably never expected that leaving Chiga in the village would have such an outcome.

Originally, the idea was to have Chiga act as a stabilizer for Kushina, the nuclear warhead, but unexpectedly, she became an accelerant.

Their power increased dramatically, and instead of harming ordinary ninjas, the two targeted those who were famous and influential in Konoha, such as Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Danzo.

Aside from Jiraiya, the other two were not so easy to deal with. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't forcibly suppressed them, they would have already come to settle scores with Chika and Kushina.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Hiruzen Sarutobi confined the two of them for six months, which finally calmed them down considerably.

A year and a half later, in Konoha Year 46.

"Kushina-sensei, why are you up so early today?"

Seeing Kushina already making breakfast at his house, Chiga rubbed his eyes and asked.

To outsiders, the fiery red chili pepper has such a gentle and virtuous side.

When they saw this, their eyes probably popped out of their sockets.

Even one's own son doesn't receive this treatment.

"Guess?" Kushina hummed a song as she stirred the pot with a spatula.

Seeing Kushina's lovestruck expression, Chiga chuckled, "Is Minato-senpai coming back?"

Kushina nodded upon hearing this and smiled, "Jiraiya came to me last night saying that Minato told him they would arrive at the village this morning, so I'm going to go greet them. You'll come with me; you haven't seen Kakashi in a long time, have you?"

"Speaking of which, it's been three months since I last saw Minato-senpai and Kakashi. Weren't they stationed at the border of the Land of Lightning? Are they finally back?"

Chiga asked.

"I heard that because the Iwagakure ninja dispatched most of their ninja to the border of the Land of Lightning, the pressure on our front lines has been greatly reduced, so Minato requested to return to rest."

"Alright, let's go see Kakashi then, and maybe bully him a bit while we're at it. We've been caught by Sakumo-san countless times!"

Chiga said.

He hadn't seen Kakashi for a long time, but he often saw Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo. After all, he and Kushina had gotten into trouble, and it was always Hatake Sakumo who came to arrest them.

Among the members of the secret service, only Sakumo Hatake had the ability to make Chiga and Kushina suffer.

If I can't handle Sakumo Hatake, then surely I can handle your son?

Hmm, why does this idea feel so familiar?
