The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

This is mainly because Konoha is not as miserable as Sunagakure. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire still trusts Konoha very much, so there are not so many worries.

However, this can indeed expand Konoha's influence on the ninja world.

Although Souji's proposal cannot bring as many benefits to Konoha as Sunagakure, it definitely has no harm.

If that was the case, why would the Third Hokage refuse?

Besides, didn’t Souji just propose to postpone the third Chunin Exam for a month?

Taking advantage of this time, we can invite daimyos and nobles from various countries to watch the ceremony.

It can be said that the two suggestions put forward by Cang Si echo each other.

Otherwise, although this month can allow the candidates to rest for a while, it would be a bit boring for them.

In this way, it was decided to invite daimyos and nobles from various countries to come to Konoha to watch the third Chunin Exam in a month.

The Third Hokage had originally planned to take advantage of the five days of the second Chunin Exam to propose the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance among the three major ninja villages, but this proposal was shelved.

After all, although the second Chunin Exam had not been terminated, it would be over in two days. So many things had happened in the meantime. How could he have the time to talk about such things?

Therefore, unfortunately, the Third Hokage would probably have to bring up the issue of the three major ninja villages forming an offensive and defensive alliance during the third Chunin Exam.

In the Forest of Death, with about an hour left before the sun set, Chino finally found Suigetsu Hozuki and Chojuro who had been waiting for his return.

"Boss, why did you come back just now? We were so worried!"

The moment she saw China coming back, Hozuki Mizuki couldn't help but complain.

For a moment he thought that something had happened to Chino.

Such a big change happened in the Death Forest, God knows what happened.

No matter how confident he was in China's ability, he was at a loss in this situation.

"Ah, Captain, are you injured?"

The shy Chojuro was the first to notice Chinano's abnormality.

At this moment, Qianno's originally tender little face had become abnormally pale, and even her lips did not show the slightest trace of blood.

If this isn't an injury, then what is?

"Sorry for making you worry."

There was a hint of regret in Chino's tone.

To be honest, with the strength of their team, it should have been extremely easy for them to pass the second Chunin Exam.

However, because of personal grudges, she took the initiative to leave the team and seek revenge on Uchiha Sasuke.

This practice is undoubtedly not worth promoting.

However, Qianno still did so relying on her own strong power.

If this resulted in the team failing to advance to the next Chunin Exam, she would definitely be blamed.

Therefore, it is actually normal for Chinano to apologize now.

"Forget it, Boss, the important thing is that you return safely!"

Although Hozuki likes to mutter a lot, he still values ​​his companions very much in his heart.

However, with Chino's appearance, being

It always feels weird to call me boss.

But now Qianno is very weak and doesn't have the energy to care about this.

"Yes, Captain, I'm glad you came back safely. Shuiyue and I have already collected all the scrolls of heaven and earth. Now let's leave the Death Forest first."

After taking a look at the sunset that had already dyed the sky red, Chojuro turned and spoke to his two companions.

Then, the three of them walked out of the Forest of Death together.

"Perhaps, I should not be bound by hatred. This feeling is really good! Whether it is Feng Xin and the others, or Gui Deng Shuiyue and Chojuro, they are all companions that I need to cherish now!

And Mizukage-sama has the trust in me!

How could I fail them?"

At this moment, Qianno's heart was very complicated.

On the one hand, she enjoys her current life very much. The past two or three years in Kirigakure are definitely more fulfilling than her previous decade or so!

But on the other hand, she couldn't completely let go of what the Uchiha clan had done to the Blood Pond clan.

This contradictory thought makes Qianno very confused about her future life.

But for her now, she can only take one step at a time and watch one movie at a time.

On the other side, Naruto and Gaara's teams stepped out of the Forest of Death in the last rays of sunset.

It has to be said that Naruto's decision not to continue the conflict with Chinano was definitely a wise one.

Otherwise, they would probably still be wandering in the Forest of Death.

And they were also the last two teams to pass the second Chunin Exam.

However, because the promotion rules for the second Chunin Exam were temporarily modified, no one would laugh at them for coming out late.

This is because the later someone leaves the Death Forest, the more likely they are to be closer to the center!

Now, even though they have left the Death Forest, when they look up into the distance, they can still see the blood-red ice ball with a diameter of three or four hundred meters.

How could someone who could escape safely from such a terrifying place be a simple person?

You know, many candidates even gave up the second exam because of the overwhelming pressure coming from the center of the Death Forest.

In this case, the candidates who were able to safely leave the vicinity of the central tower of the Death Forest are undoubtedly the top few among the candidates.

At this point, the two Genin teams of Naruto and Gaara have advanced to the third round of the Chunin Exam.

Afterwards, the chief examiner, Anko Mitarashi, announced the teams that would advance to the next round of exams, and announced that the third Chunin Exam would be held one month later.

Although this news caused an uproar among some candidates, they all understood it when they thought about the changes that had occurred in the Death Forest.

They can just take a rest during this month.

Afterwards, Sasuke was taken away by members of the Uchiha clan as soon as possible.

Although Naruto and Sakura wanted to follow, they didn't say much considering that it was already late and the person who took Sasuke away was a member of the Uchiha clan.

At worst, they could just go and talk about Sasuke tomorrow.

As the second son of the Uchiha clan leader, Sasuke must have received the best treatment, so they really didn't need to worry too much.

Just like that, the second Chunin Exam, which had a huge impact, ended.

This is a big change compared to the original.

Not to mention the impact brought about by Orochimaru's hunting of Uchiha Itachi, the third Chunin Exam preliminaries were originally scheduled to be held in the central tower of the Forest of Death.

But in this life, it did not happen.

Firstly, because such a big thing happened, Konoha, as the host, still has a lot of follow-up matters to deal with.

Secondly, since Souji proposed inviting daimyos and nobles from all major countries to watch the third Chunin Exam, there would be no need to hold any preliminaries.

With more candidates taking part in the third Chunin Exam, wouldn't it be more exciting for the daimyos and nobles from various countries to watch?

However, after the second Chunin Exam, Souji became busy.

The kind where the vest and he himself are busy together!

Just then, his alias Mizunotsuki Jin had just finished discussing the details of inviting daimyos and nobles from major countries to Konoha to watch the ceremony with the Third Hokage, Rasa and the other two, and had just returned to where they were staying when Chinano showed up.

Furthermore, when Chino saw him, she immediately knelt down.

"I'm sorry, Mizukage-sama. During the second Chunin Exam, I abandoned the team and acted on my own because of my personal grudge with the Uchiha clan!"

When Chino met Soji this time, she did not kneel on one knee in the traditional sense of an Anbu meeting the Mizukage, but she directly knelt down!

It can be seen that Qianno still feels very guilty because of her, the team almost failed to advance to the next round of exams.

"Ah, Mizukage-sama, this is the tactic we discussed. It's not the captain's fault alone!"

Seeing Chino kneeling down to apologize, Chojuro followed suit and knelt down to beg for mercy, and even wanted to cover for her.

"Well, Lord Mizukage, you see, although there was a little accident, at least we still passed the second Chunin Exam. Would you mind punishing us a little lighter?"

Compared to Chojuro's lies that were easily exposed, Hozuki Suigetsumu is much smarter.

He did not deny Chinano's private actions, but based on the results, he hoped that Cangsi would stop holding Chinano responsible.

I have to say that although Suigetsu Kissou looks unreliable at ordinary times, he will also consider his companions at critical moments.

As for Cang Si, he is actually a little depressed now.

Originally, if Qianno had not brought up this matter, given that the three of them had already advanced to the third round of exams, he could have chosen to ignore this small problem.

For Cang Si, the twists and turns of the process are not important. As long as the result is good, he doesn't care much about other things.

But now that Chino brought it up, he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

After all, to be honest, Chino's behavior was indeed a bit out of line.

But Cang Si had already anticipated all this.

What's more, Chinano also showed strong enough strength in the second Chunin Exam, and even indirectly helped Itachi get rid of Orochimaru's entanglement by summoning her own blood shadow.

However, all this is good for Hyuga Soji, but for Mizunotsuki Jin, it is obvious that Chinano's actions are not in the interests of Kirigakure.

Cang Si had not originally planned to bring up this matter, but Qianno took the initiative to bring it up because of her inner guilt, which made Cang Si a little embarrassed.

Now, Chino is actively waiting for her punishment.

After thinking for a while, Cang Si sighed.

"Ah, the feud between the Blood Pond Clan and the Uchiha Clan! Chino, I can understand your actions, but they are not in the interests of our Kirigakure after all.

In this case, it's time for you to know the truth about some things.

As for your punishment, you will go to this place tomorrow.

I believe that when you get there, someone will answer all your questions.

As for whether you are still willing to stay in Kirigakure, it depends on you and that person's decision!"

As he spoke, Cang Si took out a piece of paper, wrote an address on it, and handed it to Qianno.

However, after hearing what Cang Si said, Qianno suddenly raised her head that was resting on the tatami and looked over with a look of horror. She even chose not to take the note that Cang Si handed over.

"No! Mizukage-sama, I was wrong! I don't want to leave Kirigakure, please, don't let me leave!"

It was obvious that Qianno, feeling guilty, misunderstood what Souji said.

She thought that Cang Si's punishment for him was to drive her out of Kirigakure.

This is the most unacceptable thing for Qianno.

After all, she has already regarded Kirigakure as her home.

Here she has her companions, her laughter, and she has made many new friends. How could she think of leaving Kirigakure now?

At this moment, Qianno was panicked!

She thought that she was the one who disobeyed orders as an Anbu, so the Mizukage-sama should not

She is.

Chapter 900 Father and Daughter

"Lord Mizukage, please change the punishment. This is too severe for the captain!"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama, after all, we have passed the second Chunin Exam. Even if the captain is wrong, she won't be expelled from Kirigakure, right?"

There is no doubt that both Hozuki Suigetsu and Chojuro were led astray by Chinano.

Cang Si: “…”

This time, Cang Si was completely at a loss.

Even he once doubted whether he had just said that he wanted Chinano to leave Kirigakure?

This is because Cang Si has the memories of two lives and his mental strength is much higher than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he might really fall into self-doubt.
