From Hokage to Visionary

Nara Shikaku nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "As for the jonin for the test, I will be in charge of contacting them. Then you and Yamanaka Inoichi will work together to build the illusion world."

"No problem, leave it to me, Shikaku." Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Shikaku in a very obscure way.

The tacit understanding gained from years of cooperation allowed the two to understand each other's thoughts without words.

Uchiha Sogetsu, who saw all this, remained calm, pretending to be ignorant, and turned to look at Yamanaka Inoichi: "Mr. Inoichi, how can I cooperate with you?"

"I will use the art of mind-transfer to directly invade your spiritual world."

After saying this, Yamanaka Haiyi seemed to be afraid of arousing his suspicion, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry, I will control my mind and will not snoop into your memory."

"Isn't this an invasion of my spiritual world?"

Uchiha Sogetsu's expression changed slightly, and he showed some worry appropriately: "Mr. Haiyi, is there any other way?"

The audience's disguised expressions, both in terms of demeanor and subtle details, are enough to be mistaken for the real thing.

Even Nara Shikaku, who had a very high IQ, did not notice any problem. After seeing his hesitant expression, he thought it was reasonable, so he advised: "Matsuki, I can guarantee for Haiyi that he will never snoop into your memory. Besides, if you want to build a large-scale illusion world, this is the only way at present."

"This"

Uchiha Sogetsu still seemed somewhat worried.

This is normal. After all, if he is not a spectator, how can he allow others to invade his spiritual world?

Looking at Shikaku and Haiyi, who took turns patting their chests to make promises, even swearing poisonous oaths, with an expression as if "this is all for Konoha", he sneered in his heart.

After all, the intentions of these two people are not pure.

He saw through Nara Shikaku's plan at a glance. He simply wanted Haiyi to take advantage of the invasion of the spiritual world and search his memory.

Everything can deceive people, except the memories in a person's spiritual world, which cannot deceive people.

Yes, of course "memory" cannot deceive people, provided that it is real memory!

Uchiha Sogetsu used the audience's extraordinary ability to mobilize emotions, pretending to be very worried and conflicted, controlling the subtle expressions on his face, but the soul hidden in this skin maintained an independent, third-party perspective, examining this "drama".

"Okay, I understand." After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Munetsuki reluctantly agreed: "I believe in Shikaku and Mr. Haiyi, so what's the next step?"

Seeing that he finally agreed, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi looked at each other imperceptibly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

It is not easy to get others to agree to have their spiritual world invaded.

Fearing that Uchiha Sogetsu would change his mind, Yamanaka Haiyi quickly said: "It will be easy after that. You just need to build an illusion world in your brain, and then I will use the telepathy technique to share your illusion link with others, so that a group illusion space can be established."

"To put it simply, Haiyi acts as a repeater."

Nara Shikaku simplified his words and said, "This way, your chakra consumption will be very small, and it can also prolong the duration of the illusion dream."

"As expected of the next head of the Nara family, you really consider things comprehensively."

Uchiha Sogetsu flattered him lightly and said with a smile: "Then I have no problem. Once all the jonin are here, we can officially start the test."

"That's too much. I just like to ponder over the details."

Nara Shikaku also breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest problem had been solved, and the rest were just small matters: "You guys get ready, I'll go contact the Jonin."

Next, Uchiha Sogetsu and Yamanaka Inoichi discussed how to perfect the group illusion dream while making preparations.

It took about half an incense stick of time for Nara Shikaku to come back. I have to say that his efficiency was quite amazing.

The first batch of jonin invited to take the 'large-scale illusion dream' test were: Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shiwei, Nara Suzaku, Akimichi Choza, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, and Inuzuka Jaw.

After taking a quick glance at the few people, Uchiha Sogetsu felt a little regretful: it was a pity that the person he was most looking forward to, Uzumaki Shinkuna, did not come to participate in the test.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be expected.

After all, Uzumaki Shinkuna is Konoha's 'nuclear weapon' and usually needs stability the most. How could he possibly participate in such a 'horrible' test?

If it gets scared and turns into a tailed beast, everyone will be in trouble.

"Well, everyone, please get ready."

Uchiha Munetsuki's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then he showed a kind smile: "I declare that Konoha's first battle royale trial run has officially begun!"

"Illusion: May your wish come true!"

"Ninjutsu: Heart Turning Technique!"

"Ninjutsu: Heart-opening Technique!"

The next moment, Minato Namikaze and others felt a darkness before their eyes.

No one knows what happened to these senior ninjas in the dream world of illusion.

The only one who revealed the news was Minato Namikaze. It was said that when the test was over, he walked out of the room with his legs shaking, and he called Uchiha Munetsuki a "devil"!

Moreover, all the senior ninjas who participated in the internal test gave earnest advice to their disciples or team members after returning, advising them to give up the Chunin Exam.

From then on, Uchiha Sogetsu had another nickname in Konoha Village - Devil!

Ohhhh… Please give me some monthly votes for my follow-up reading and recommendation. I also want to be on the new book list!

Chapter 58: Konoha is not allowed to have such arrogant people

time flies.

Soon, the day of the Chunin Exam arrived.

The Genin from Sand Village and Iwagakure who were taking the exam, led by elite Jonin from their respective villages, arrived at the main gate of Konoha Village one after another.

Since the relationship between the major ninja villages at that time was far less harmonious than it would be in the future, the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage did not show up.

This is easy to understand. After all, as the shadow of a village, if he rashly comes to a ninja village in another country and something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

Since there were many people from other villages this time, Nara Shikamaru was responsible for receiving the people from Iwagakure, while the people from Sandgakure were given to Uchiha Munetsuki to receive.

In front of the main gate of Konoha, Uchiha Sogetsu, dressed in black, with his arms folded across his chest, was waiting for the people from the Sand Village.

Soon, the target appeared.

A group of eight people from the Sand Village, wearing robes to protect themselves from the wind and sand, came into view.

As they got closer, one of them came forward and took off his large white hood.

Inside was a delicate, gentle and elegant face, sandy brown shoulder-length hair, bright indigo eyes like an exquisite gem, and a Sand Ninja forehead protector on her fair neck. She looked at him cautiously and said in a clear voice, "Hello, I am one of the leading jonin of the Sand Ninja Village this time, Galura."

Another man followed closely and took off his hood, "I am the leader of the Sand Village, Ye Cang."

Ye Cang had her hair tied into a bun, with the upper half dark green and the lower half orange. She had amber eyes and a cold temperament mixed with arrogance. When she looked at Uchiha Sogetsu, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"I am the person in charge of receiving you, Uchiha Munetsuki."

Uchiha Sogetsu pushed the frame with his index finger and observed the different mental and physical states of the two people.

It's really interesting that the leading jonin sent by the Sand Village to participate in this joint exam is actually Gaara's mother in the future, and the Sand Ninja hero Shokuton Yekura who will soon become famous in the ninja world.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Cang's tone was harsh and his eyes were somewhat unfriendly.

It wasn't that she was looking for trouble, but being stared at by the Uchiha boy in front of her made her feel uncomfortable.

"No, it's nothing."

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled slightly and said, "Please follow me, both of you. Accommodation has been arranged."

After saying that, he no longer cared about Ye Cang and Jia Liu Luo, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Uchiha"

Ye Cang's eyes were fiery, with a hint of fighting spirit flashing across them.

Having heard of the Uchiha clan's reputation in the ninja world, she had long been planning to give it a try, and now she had finally met one.

"Ye Cang."

The kind-hearted Galura didn't want to cause trouble, so he tugged at his companion's sleeve and whispered, "We are in Konoha, let's not be too conspicuous."

Ye Cang, who was interrupted, had to suppress his fighting spirit and nodded: "Don't worry, I know my limits, Jialulu."

When the Sand Ninja saw Konoha for the first time, he was immediately shocked by the prosperous scene before him.

The streets are as clean as new, there are neither uncomfortable sandstorms nor pungent dust in the air. People do not need to carry dust sheets, and tempting aromas waft from the shops on both sides of the street. Everything here is almost like heaven for the Sand Ninjas born in the desert.

They even saw that the precious water resources in the desert can be used here to sprinkle the streets, or even to water flowers and play.

A strong feeling of jealousy welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

Why?

They were born to fight the desert, endure the dust and sandstorms, and fight for the little water resources.

But people born in Konoha can live a carefree and happy life here!

Thinking of this, the people of the Sand Village became more and more unbalanced, and there was a hint of hatred in their eyes when they looked at the people of Konoha.

Similarly, the villagers of Konoha also harbor deep hatred for these outsiders.

The two major ninja villages of Konoha and Sand are connected by national borders, so there are often frictions and wars, and the relationship is not that good. Not to mention that it has not been too long since the last World War II, and there are still many people who survived the war, allowing the seeds of hatred to germinate and spread.

"Where did these beggars come from? They came to our Konoha to beg for food."

"Hey, do you smell it? They smell bad. They haven't taken a shower in a while. They are so dirty!"

"These Sand Ninjas stink."

There were discussions all around.

The villagers had a look of disgust on their faces and did not try to lower their voices, deliberately mocking the group of Sand Ninjas.

"A bunch of damned lowlifes!" Finally, the young Genin of the Sand Village couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at the villagers with murderous eyes and said viciously: "Say it again if you dare!"

The villager was frightened by the murderous look. He took two steps back in panic and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Tsk, is this the only courage Konoha's people have?" Seeing this, the Genin felt relieved and said sarcastically, "So they're not that great, huh."

"Sentaro, stop talking." Jialuo frowned slightly, worried about causing more trouble, so he lowered his voice to stop him.

"Yes, Mr. Galura."

Sentaro didn't care, and even gave the frightened villagers a provocative look: "A bunch of cowards, if we were on the battlefield, I could kill you easily!"

"Get out! You Sand Ninja bugs!"

As if stimulated by his words, a child picked up a stone nearby and threw it out with force.

Snapped!

Sentaro, who didn't notice the child, was hit in the eye by a stone.

Although the force was not strong, the slight pain in his eye socket and the mockery in his teammates' eyes immediately made Sentaro angry: "Little brat, you are looking for death!!!"

He threw a shuriken directly at the child who was throwing stones.

"No, Sentaro!"

When Jialulu saw it and wanted to stop it, he was already a step too late.

"what!"

Sharp shurikens cut through the air.

The children turned pale with fear and their parents screamed.

Just as a young life was about to be killed, a black figure suddenly stood between the child and Sentaro.

when!

The sharp shuriken was pinched between two fingers.

The Uchiha family crest and the red and white round fan were printed on the back of the loose black robe, which left a deep impression on the eyes of the Sand Ninjas.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining him!" Jialuo breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly explained nervously: "Sentaro didn't mean it, please forgive him!"

To put it simply, what just happened was just a fight caused by a verbal argument.

But if it is a serious matter, such as attempting to kill villagers in the street in someone else's village, that would be serious!

Sentaro was protected in the middle, and it was obvious that the others were also aware of the seriousness of the matter.

It was not until this moment that Sentaro realized what he had just done. His face suddenly turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.

clang

Uchiha Munetsuki threw away the shuriken, turned around and looked at the nervous Sand Ninjas, and said with a gentle smile: "No need to apologize, young people, it is understandable that they are a little impulsive."
