A few days later.

Yunyin Village, at the gate.

The Third Raikage Ai walked at the front, followed by several teams preparing to participate in the Joint Chunin Examination held in Konoha.

The number of people was not large, there were three teams in total, including the leading Jonin, there were a total of twelve people.

Including the Third Raikage, his secretary, and bodyguards, the entire team numbered exactly twenty people.

Behind him, a large number of Kumo ninjas were seeing off the Third Raikage and his party.

"Lord Raikage, be careful on the road."

"Sandaime, take care along the way!"

"Be careful of Konoha, be careful of their machinations. Once things go wrong, immediately join forces with other villages and retreat as soon as possible!"

"Toutai, Troy, remember to protect Raikage. Nothing will happen to Raikage-sama, do you understand?"

Dodai is a young ninja, the owner of the Melting Release Blood Succession Limit. He is powerful and deeply trusted by the third generation Raikage. He is currently serving as the Raikage's bodyguard.

Troy's situation is roughly the same. The only difference is the Blood Succession Limit. His Blood Succession Limit is Magnetic Release, which is also a powerful Blood Succession Limit.

After hearing everyone's instructions, the two of them nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, as long as we are here, Lord Raikage will definitely be fine!"

"If Konoha wants to harm Lord Raikage, he must first step over my body!"

Following Tudai and Troy's opening, several other Raikage guards also spoke to reassure themselves, including the three teams preparing to take the exam.

"Okay, stop rambling, it's time for us to set off."

Seeing that everyone showed signs of continuing their conversation, the Third Raikage Ai interrupted them impatiently.

"Hmm, it's really time to set off. We have to go to the Daming Mansion to pick up the Daiming and the others soon."

"Oh, the daimyo and the others are really here to join in the fun. If Konoha launches an attack, then... the consequences will be disastrous."

"I'm just worried, I don't believe Konoha dares to be the enemy of the entire ninja world! Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

The Third Raikage waved his hand and said fiercely: "That bitch Onoki isn't afraid of fraud, so what am I afraid of!?"

"Let's go, go back. Go back to whatever you have to do. When I'm not here, remember to arrange a few more teams, strengthen patrols, and keep the barrier open as much as possible to prevent the enemy from attacking."

After nagging, the Third Raikage finally led people to leave Kumogakure Village and headed straight for Konoha.

······

at the same time.

Outside the gate of Iwagakure Village.

"Okay, just send it here and you can go back."

Huang Tu carried a wooden box on his broad back. Ohnoki was sitting leisurely on the wooden box, waving to everyone and saying.

"Lord Tsuchikage, why don't you go, it's dangerous..."

"Yes, Konoha suddenly held some kind of Chunin exam this time. In my opinion, there is probably something wrong with it. Lord Tsuchikage, think twice!"

"Konoha has called together the leaders of several major ninja villages and daimyo from various countries. Could it be that they want to catch them all in one fell swoop and unify the ninja world?"

Onoki's big eyes widened after hearing this, and he blew his beard and glared, "Go, go, stop being alarmist here, Konoha doesn't have the courage, nor the strength to be the enemy of the entire ninja world!"

"Okay, don't worry, Konoha has invited more than just our Iwagakure village. If the situation goes bad, I will join forces with the Raikage and the others to deal with Konoha together."

After thinking about it, Onoki felt that the probability that Konoha would take advantage of the situation was low. If Konoha really planned to take action, why would the battlefield be placed in Konoha?

Of course, the most important thing is that Onomu relies on his ability to fly. Even if Konoha really takes advantage of the situation, he is sure to escape unscathed. Therefore, when he went to Konoha this time, he did not bring many people with him, only a dozen people in total.

, which also includes two teams taking the exam.

The reason why there are so few people is, firstly, because fewer people mean greater mobility, which will be much more convenient if you want to retreat; secondly, because Iwagakure’s generation really doesn’t have any talented people who can take advantage of it, and the one who Qing Huang doesn’t talk about is Iwagakure

.

Even the current two teams were pieced together by Onoki.

In fact, it's normal when you think about it. Those who have the strength to advance early in the promotion, who would foolishly stay as genin.

Moreover, there was a great war in the ninja world some time ago, and Ohnoki had already promoted those who could be promoted, without even considering the current situation.

In Onoki's words, who knows, Konoha will suddenly hold the Joint Chunin Examination.

After hearing this, everyone knew that Onoki had made up his mind, so they did not try to persuade him, but they still hoped that Onoki would be more vigilant and be careful about Konoha.

"Well, I understand."

Ohnoki nodded, and then said to Huang Tu: "Let's go."

Immediately, Onoki and his party also embarked on the journey to Konoha.

Similarly, Ohnoki and others also need to go to the Earth Kingdom Daimyo Mansion and bring the Earth Kingdom Daimyo and a group of nobles with them.

In fact, other people should be assigned to take charge of these tasks, but both the Third Raikage and Onoki were doing it for convenience, so they just brought them along to see if they could increase the daimyo's funds or something.

······

the other side.

The land of wind filled with yellow sand.

In Shayin Village, Wan Pupu took Ye Cang and several teams and set off.

The group of people marched slowly against the wind and sand, heading towards Daming Mansion in the Country of Wind.

The land of continuous rain.

Hanzo hurried towards Konoha with a few of his men.

Hanzo was even more unlucky than other villages. He only brought one participating team, and two other guards who were specifically responsible for attacking. They were perfunctory to the extreme.

In addition, Hanzo does not need to escort the Daimyo of the Country of Rain, because the Daimyo of the Country of Rain is not among Konoha's invitations.

In fact, Konoha only invited daimyo and nobles from the five countries of Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Thunder, and no one from other countries was invited.

Of course, if daimyo and nobles from other countries want to come, Konoha will not stop them and will even applaud to welcome them.

But it is a pity that except for the five major countries, no big names from other countries came. On the contrary, there were many nobles.

The land of water.

The Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura has also taken people on a boat trip.

It was winter, and the wind and waves on the sea were very fierce and ice-cold to the bone. If you hit your face, it would feel like being cut with a knife, and it would be extremely painful.

Goji Yagura stood on the deck and hid in the cabin within a few minutes.

At the same time, Taki Ninja, Kusanagi Ninja and others also set off one after another.

For a time, Konoha seemed to have become the center of the world, and daimyo and ninja villages from all over the world came to Konoha one after another.

······

Konoha Village.

Hokage Building, conference room on the second floor.

Tsunade held a special jounin meeting. She looked at the jonins sitting neatly and asked, "How are things prepared?"

"How many teams do we have to participate in this exam? Have we done preliminary screening? Some teams that are unqualified or whose strength is not up to standard will be eliminated in time. Don't be embarrassed when the time comes."

This exam is for flexing your muscles. If you fail to show off your muscles and instead become the butt of jokes, it will be really funny.

Therefore, a preliminary screening of participating teams is required.

If you can't even pass the preliminary screening, you don't have to count on the subsequent Chunin exams.

In the conference room, everyone looked at each other, and then Nara Shikaku said: "The screening results have come out. A total of twelve teams passed the assessment, and five teams were eliminated."

In other words, there were seventeen teams signed up at the beginning, with a total of fifty-one people, but now there are more than thirty people left, including Minato and three of them.

"Only twelve teams?" Tsunade was slightly startled. This number was obviously lower than she expected.

"Forget it, there will be twelve teams. Apart from Minato's team, which other team is worth looking forward to? Show me the list."

Tsunade quickly glanced at the list and found two more familiar names: Hinata Shizune and Uchiha Shuichi.

Because Naoki has been promoted to chunin, he does not have a role in this exam, so Shizune Hinata and Shuichi Uchiha can only form a two-person team to participate.

Hyuuga Shizune and Uchiha Shuichi are both talented. Coupled with Yanmen's guidance, they now have the strength of elite chuunin. With the cooperation of the two, they are enough to deal with ordinary special jounin, even jounin.

You can also hand over a few hands.

Even though Hinata Shizune and Uchiha Shuichi are now elite chuunin, in fact, they have only graduated a few months ago.

Oh no, Hyuga Shizune was from the previous class, but her strength was not very strong at the beginning. After all, it was a branch of the Hyuga family and she couldn't even learn Baguazhang. What kind of strength could she be expected to have?

When Hinata Shizune first joined the team, her strength was that of a chuunin at best, someone who had just touched the threshold. It was already remarkable that she could be promoted to the elite chuunin level in a few months.

The same is true for Uchiha Hideichi who just graduated a few months ago. With the help of Yanmen, his strength quickly transformed from a genin to an elite chuunin. He even learned the Chidori style of Yanmen.

As for Hinata Shizune, after obtaining Tsunade's consent, Enmon taught her some medical ninjutsu and strange power techniques. Leaving aside the medical ninjutsu, Hyuga Shizune has already initially mastered the physical technique of strange power techniques.

At the same time, according to the agreement, without the permission of Tsunade or Enmen, Hyuga Shizune is not allowed to teach strange power techniques and medical ninjutsu to others privately, especially not to people in the Hyuga clan.
