Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

After hearing Itachi's explanation, Rasa gritted his teeth.

This five million can't be wasted.

"I will make my move when the operation begins."

Itachi Uchiha didn't bother to explain further.

"Then... let's do it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha's lips twitched involuntarily, but he remained silent.

Compared to Shirakumo Aoba, the actions of Sunagakure are more important.

"Later, you will pretend to be my guards and come with me."

"We absolutely cannot fail again this time!"

……

After greeting Mei Terumi from afar, Shirokumo Aoba scanned the other people in the audience.

I spotted quite a few familiar faces.

Black Earth waved and greeted him happily.

The three mature women from Yunyin were huddled together, seemingly discussing something.

Samui, with her long, golden waves, still had a cold expression on her face.

He then looked at the Sunagakure siblings, and after noticing Shirakumo Aoba's gaze, they all lowered their heads.

He looked like he had done something wrong.

Judging from this, they probably know about their village's plans.

"Temari! You are ninjas from Sunagakure!"

Maki, who was standing behind the three, also noticed this scene and couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

He also had some doubts in his heart. Didn't Lord Fengying say that he was going to deal with Baiyun Qingye?

Why is the other person acting like nothing happened?

To distract the three men, Maki repeated the plan once again.

"Gaara, when you fight Shirakumo Aoba later, take the opportunity to release Shukaku and attack the people around you."

Gaara's eyes flickered, and he clenched his fist. "I understand."

"Attack those around you..."

Temari was struggling internally.

Many of the people around were ordinary people who had come to watch the battle. If Gaara were to make a move, it would be a massacre.

Moreover, there were Konoha ANBU ninjas everywhere, as well as Jonin watching the battle.

Even if Gaara successfully releases Shukaku, will it really be a success...?

This plan is too haphazard.

"Shukaku's main role is to distract the other Jonin of Konoha, so that the Kazekage can take care of the Hokage in the shortest possible time."

Maki explained to the three children, "Once the Hokage is lost, Konoha will be leaderless and will inevitably fall into chaos in a short period of time."

"Deal with the Hokage?"

Temari couldn't help but look at the acting Mizukage from Kirigakure, who was sitting in the highest stands.

"This suddenly appearing water shadow is indeed a variable."

Maki also saw Mei Terumi wearing the Mizukage hat.

But it seems they only came to participate in the Chunin Exams and didn't bring many people with them.

Unlike the Sand Village, although they didn't have many men, they were all elites, and they also had an allied army outside.

Kirigakure is the weakest of the five great ninja villages.

The other side couldn't stop them at all.

Chapter 267 Young people are just full of vigor

"Lady Tsunade, are you sure you don't need any other guards?"

As Shizune helped Tsunade adjust her Hokage robes, she couldn't help but ask.

Seeing the worry on Shizune's face, Tsunade shook her head. "No need. Kakashi and Guy are enough."

"Your duty is to protect the safety of the villagers and students!"

"I understand."

Silent nodded.

After tidying up, Tsunade pushed open the door to the lounge and spoke to Kakashi and Might Guy who were standing at the door.

Let's go!

The three of them walked together to the seat reserved for Shadow, which was the highest seat in the entire venue.

"Hokage, I've heard so much about you."

Luo Sha greeted him in a flat tone.

"I've heard so much about you, please have a seat."

Tsunade responded simply.

"I really didn't expect that the Mizukage would come to the Chunin Exams."

Rasa then looked at Mei Terumi, who was sitting on the other side of Tsunade.

"Ha! The Wind Shadow can come, but the Water Shadow can't?"

Mei Terumi was utterly ruthless.

She had absolutely no liking for this guy; in fact, she felt nothing but disgust.

Young people are just so hot-blooded.

Hearing Mei Terumi's blunt tone, Rasa's lips twitched involuntarily, and she mentally muttered a complaint.

He didn't say anything more and quietly waited for the third exam to begin.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Kakashi, standing behind Tsunade, suddenly said, "The time has come; you may begin your speech."

"Ah."

Without saying a word, Tsunade nodded and walked to the edge of the platform to look down.

The stands were already full.

"On behalf of Konoha, I welcome everyone to this grand event in Konoha."

Tsunade said succinctly, "Before that, I have something important to announce."

"From this day forward, Kirigakure will officially form an alliance with Konoha. From now on, Sunagakure and Kirigakure will be Konoha's strongest allies."

With this statement, if Sunagakure were to betray Konoha, any subsequent actions by Konoha would be seen as morally justified.

"Very good!!"

Upon hearing the good news that Konoha had formed an alliance with another major ninja village, the villagers of Konoha erupted in thunderous cheers.

Forming an alliance with the two great ninja villages will undoubtedly bring greater peace to Konoha.

Tsunade pressed her hands down, and the scene fell silent once again.

"Now, the third round of the Chunin Exams officially begins!"

After saying that, she sat back down in her original seat.

"That's really surprising."

A shadow crossed Luo Sha's eyes.

Her eyes, gleaming with a cold light, turned to Mei Terumi, who was sitting in the chair to Tsunade's left.

"I never imagined that the Village of Blood Mist would form an alliance with another ninja village."

He was unsure of Mei Terumi's strength, but her sudden alliance with Konoha was undoubtedly a huge variable for Sunagakure's operations.

"We have always been a peace-loving village."

Mei Terumi gave Rasa a somewhat perfunctory response.

Luo Sha: ...

Mei Terumi didn't care at all about Rasa's opinion of her.

He yawned lazily.

As the exam was about to begin, contestants including Shiraku Aoba left the audience.

I returned to the candidates' lounge.

"Temari, I feel like you and Gaara are acting strange today?"

Shirokumo Aoba asked Temari in confusion.

"No, it's just that I have an exam coming up soon, so I'm a little nervous."

Temari gave a somewhat forced smile, trying her best to maintain a calm expression.

"Don't worry about that. The third exam is about individual performance, not winning or losing."

Baiyun Qingye smiled and comforted him, "With your abilities, even if you lose, becoming a Chunin shouldn't be a problem."

Why would they be enemies with such a gentle boy?

Temari gritted her teeth, "Shirokumo Aoba, I hope you'll admit defeat in the match later!"
