Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 520 Chunin Exams (Part 1)

[Title Page Story:]

In Sunagakure, Rasa listened to the report from his subordinates with a bewildered expression.

What's going on? Why are Kirigakure, Konoha, Iwagakure, and even Kumogakure all preparing for war?!

No, we, the Hidden Sand Village, cannot lose! We must prepare ourselves!

However...

What on earth happened...?

……

These families in the village are actually preparing to use the new generation to compete and decide the ownership of the Six Paths Chakra.

Well, how should I put it?

At first, Youya thought it was outrageous.

Later, I felt it was a bit too frivolous.

Later on, I felt that the commotion was a bit too small.

What kind of nonsense is this, throwing a bunch of kids onto a table?!

Since we've decided to stir things up, let's go big!

You guys better get down there yourselves!

With a "the more the merrier" mentality, Youya felt that these families should have their strongest members take action.

However, these families are not fools.

Even the fiercest fights between children can be turned around and there are usually no casualties.

However, if it's a fight between adults, then there are different rules.

Many people might assume that adults, being more aware of priorities, wouldn't go to extremes in a fight.

But anything can happen unexpectedly.

If something unexpected really happens, then it'll be all over.

Youya was aware of these people's concerns, so although he felt that the matter was too trivial and not fun, he didn't say anything on the surface.

Against this backdrop, the new generation of each family began intensive training.

Basically, those who have trump cards are frantically improving the strength of the new generation of their families.

The matter of the Six Paths Chakra is enough to require their family to devote such energy.

You Ya was both satisfied and dissatisfied with this.

Damn it, now you're panicking?

What were you doing before?

Oh, I was busy with my own assignments before. Never mind then.

These ninja clans have worked so hard, Yuya doesn't want to spoil the fun, so he decides to go all out.

Therefore, in that year, Yuya extended invitations to the other five major ninja villages.

We invite all the Kage to Konoha to discuss whether there is an opportunity to hold a Chunin Exams tournament jointly organized by the five major ninja villages next year.

As for the prizes...

Yuya thought, let's take one person's worth of Six Paths Chakra as a reward.

Upon hearing this, the Kage of the other ninja villages were somewhat incredulous.

Subsequently, the first person to contact Yua was the brute, the Fourth Raikage.

"You despicable Hokage, are you serious? You're actually willing to offer something so precious as a prize?!"

The Fourth Raikage's emotional intelligence is still so low.

"Oh, the Fourth Raikage, all you think about is muscles. Yes, that's right, you heard me right and you didn't see it wrong. I'm planning something big next year, want to join me? I'll leave the first place prize aside for now, but for second to fifth place, I can let them go to the Hidden Leaf Village's library and choose one A-rank ninjutsu to take back with them. How about it, interested?"

The Fourth Raikage was initially angry when Yua dared to say that he only had muscles in his head, but after Yua finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage was immediately filled with question marks.

"Seriously?! You're that confident?! An A-rank ninjutsu, and you only need to be in the top five?! Do you even know what you're saying?"

Yuya sneered: "Heh, that's not all. In addition to the cash prize, I've decided to give the sixth to twentieth place winners the right to choose their own B-rank ninjutsu."

"Hiss..." The Fourth Raikage gasped on the other end of the phone. After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say, "Have you hit your head recently, Hokage? This doesn't sound like the kind of idea a normal person would come up with."

You Ya rolled her eyes: "Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"Come on! If you don't come, you're a coward!" The Fourth Raikage said decisively.

"Alright, I don't need a grandson like you." You Ya was quite the smooth talker.

"you!"

"Oh, by the way, since we're discussing this beforehand, I have a few questions to ask you." You Ya appropriately changed the subject.

"What is it?" the Fourth Raikage asked.

"Who is your Hidden Cloud Village planning to attack? You've actually gathered an army," Yuya asked.

The Fourth Raikage was taken aback, then said speechlessly to Yua, "Isn't your Konoha Village the same? I should be asking you who you're planning to attack."

Yuya: "Why would I lift a finger? Our Konoha Village's GDP is now over 800 billion taels every year, which is almost three times that of your Kumogakure Village's 300 billion taels. I must be out of my mind to start a war at this time. Isn't it better to make money?"

"I thought you were feeling you weren't making as much money as Konoha and were preparing to gather an army, which is why I was issuing this defensive summons."

The Fourth Raikage was furious, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the plans announced each year in other villages, such as the two mines in Kumogakure near Takigakure, and the Land of Demons, whose previous leader was directly killed by the Five Kage, and whose interests were not included in the GDP, were all worth considering. He also didn't include the many businessmen with official backgrounds in other Five Kage villages. If he had included them, the total would have been over 400 billion ryo. So he calmed down.

No, we can't rush it. Let that idiot Hokage think that his Konoha Village is three times stronger than our Kumogakure Village.

In reality, it's only about twice as much.

So the Fourth Raikage ignored Yua's sarcastic remarks and said, "I don't want to fight either. In any case, if we fight, the people of Kumogakure will probably go hungry."

So if I could avoid fighting, I definitely wouldn't want to.

I issued the mobilization order because I saw that Kirigakure was the first to gather its troops.

"What?! It's Kirigakure?" Yua frowned. "Are they crazy? They haven't even recovered from the civil war over thirty years ago, and they're already thinking of attacking outsiders?"

"Who knows?" the Fourth Raikage said casually.

"Alright, I'll call the Fifth Mizukage later. Then, come to Konoha next month to discuss matters related to next year's Chunin Exams."

"Okay, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, both of them were inwardly cursing each other for being idiots.

Yuya sneered. Of course he knew that Kumogakure hid many merchants in other ninja villages and never disclosed their profits.

But the Fourth Raikage was too naive.

Merchants value profit over parting. This generation might be more loyal to you, Raikage, but after only three generations, I, Yua, would be grateful if even one-tenth of these merchants remained loyal to Kumogakure. You, Raikage, are quite capable.

But it's likely that some underhanded methods will be used to control these businessmen.

Never mind, it's none of my business now...

Let's call the Mizukage of Kirigakure first.
