People are in Konoha, and the battlefield has collected corpses for ten years

Chapter 30 Chunin Exam Proposal (recommended monthly pass for collection)

Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued to read.

"The elite rock ninja ambush team has a total of 24 Jōnin and 20 Chunin, of which [-] Jōnin were killed and [-] was seriously injured, [-] Chunin were killed and [-] were seriously injured"

Having said that, everyone's expressions were slightly relaxed.

Although Konoha suffered a heavy loss, Iwanin's loss was obviously even greater. They seriously underestimated the strength of Orochimaru.

The wrong assessment, coupled with the lack of anticipation of Konoha's determination, led to heavy losses in Iwanoshi's trial. It is estimated that Ohnoki will have to lick the wound silently for a long time before he can recover.

"Oshemaru did a good job." Danzo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, expressing his recognition of Orochimaru's ability.

This time, Iwami Ninja was severely injured, and it was true to Sarutobi's plan, which greatly healed the blood.

However, the content of the mission summary has not been fully read.

"It is suspected that a Iwagakushi Jōnin sneaked up on the Torimori checkpoint while he was diverting the tiger away from the mountain, resulting in the death of two Konoha chuunin, and the body collector Maruyama Kikaze was seriously injured. Afterwards, the Iwagakushi Jōnin disappeared?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi finished reading and glanced at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's snake eyes were full of interest, he licked his lips, and said hoarsely: "According to Maruyama Kikaze himself, it is like this."

Others don't know, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru both know.

This is not the first time something like this has happened.

In the Yuno Country last time, Kirigakure Kaguya Senba crossed Konoha's defense line and attacked Kakashi's team, and it was Maruyama Kikaze who finally met him.

But last time and this time the result was exactly the same.

The two rival jounin disappeared, and Konoha Shimojin Maruyama Kikaze was seriously injured but survived.

If once is a coincidence, then twice
Sarutobi Hiruza suppressed the speculation in his heart, gave Orochimaru a look, and continued the meeting after confirming that the other party paid attention.

Obviously, such an important meeting would not be interrupted by a small ninja.

Although the ending of the matter was a bit abrupt, the chiefs of the clan and the elite jonin were also a little surprised.

After all, it is a very lucky thing for a lower ninja to survive in the hands of a higher ninja.

All the people present here are Jnin and above, and understand how big the gap between Jnin and Jnin is.

But seeing that Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't intend to continue to delve into it, everyone didn't say much, but silently remembered the name "Maruyama Kikaze" in their hearts.

It's not like they didn't notice the look Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Orochimaru.

"Cough cough, back to the topic, Lu Xin, you continue."

Shikako Nara nodded expressionlessly, showing no emotion at all when his speech was interrupted, and took advantage of this time to perfect the plan in his heart.

Surrounding the crowd, he said in a deep voice, "I suggest that we, Konoha, hold the Chunin Exam in advance!"

Chunin Exam!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the conference room stared at each other, surprised at Nara Shikashiko's proposal.

But after thinking about it, I quickly understood the deeper meaning.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a dazed look, knocked on his pipe, pondered for a while, and signaled Lu Xin to continue.

"We can invite Cloud Ninja, Mist Ninja, and Sand Ninja." Nara was confident and talked eloquently.

The only thing is not to invite Iwa Shinobi, what is the intention of this
"Yunin is our nominal ally. Although it has been a while, as long as the covenant is not torn, they are still allies. We can use this to test their tendency. Yunin is also a party we can win over. After all The enmity between Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village is not small.

The Wuyin Village in the Country of Water has always been isolated. Relying on the barrier of the sea and the superiority of the battle on the water, it has more than enough self-preservation and insufficient external attack. Let them see the strength of our Konoha. I wonder if they will continue to expand the war , should be carefully considered.

As for Shayin Village, internal conflicts in Shayin Village have never disappeared, resources are scarce, and positions are vacillating. If we further communicate with them and try to relax some provisions during World War II, it may not be impossible to win them over.

Just worry about Chiyo, the elder of Hidden Sand Village, she is the most determined 'fire extinguisher'.

At the same time, invite the surrounding small hidden villages to confirm their position and give them a certain deterrent. "

The potential role of this Chunin Exam is clearly analyzed, and the stakes are also explained very thoroughly.

In general, it is to win over some, deter some, and neutralize some.

With such a set, the pressure on Konoha may be much less.

"very good!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi made a decision directly.

In fact, he had already discussed this plan with Shikako Nara, but he just needed a suitable occasion to speak out about this plan.

After that, the tasks of each ethnic group and each department were divided and determined.

The big goals are set, and the planning of small details has been handed over to Nara Shikako by Sarutobi Hiruzane.

after the meeting.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Orochimaru, the master and apprentice, walked by a river in Konoha.

"How long has it been since we took a walk like this, Orochimaru?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said with emotion.

The older a person is, the easier it is to recall the past, some good things.

"Ha ha."

"."

The veins on Sarutobi's forehead twitched, and there was nothing he could do about Oshemaru's indifferent personality.

Looking at Orochimaru who has been completed and can stand on his own, Sarutobi Hiruzawa is very relieved.

It's just that deep in the comforting eyes, there is a ray of worry hidden.

And this worry, under the current harmonious teacher-student relationship, was actively and selectively forgotten by him.

"Tell me your opinion, Orochimaru."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stopped and stood by the river, smiling at the children playing in the distance.

"War?" Orochimaru stood beside him and licked his lips.

For war, Orochimaru is not very repulsive.

"What should come will come anyway, and no one can stop it, just like the damned will die one day, the god of death does not show affection." Orochimaru said lightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that his disciple was obsessed with life and death.

It's just that he didn't expect that his unrealistic obsession, not only did not dissipate due to the increase of age, but the obsession became deeper and deeper.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, pondered for a moment and spoke again, "Tell me about Qifeng."

When it comes to praying for the wind, the interest on Orochimaru's face suddenly rises.

"There are two possibilities. One is that he is hiding his strength, and the other is that someone is helping him in the dark. This person may be a ninja from Konoha, a ninja from another village, or a wandering ninja." Orochimaru said bluntly.

"Hidden strength?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought for a while, then quickly shook his head.

unrealistic.

Konoha is a place rich in geniuses, he has seen all kinds of geniuses, geniuses from the ninja family, geniuses from ordinary people.

But Qifeng is impossible.

It's not that he didn't send someone to observe, from the time the other party came into contact with Asma, and then to the last Mist Ninja incident.

The surveillance Anbu ninja reported almost exactly the same situation, a ninja who couldn't be more law-abiding.

In addition, he is not a family ninja, his foundation is weak, he has no blood succession limit, and he has no family support.

Rao is the most common genius Sarutobi Hiruzen has ever seen, such as Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato, it is impossible to kill a Jonin at the age of 13 without the guidance of a strong man.

"Perhaps, he still has secrets that no one knows?" Orochimaru added jokingly.

"Can you find out if there is someone hiding behind him?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi ignored his joke and just asked.

"No." Orochimaru replied quickly, and continued: "It's not impossible, it's just that I didn't find it."

Orochimaru said it hadn't been found, so it really didn't.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, took a sip from the pipe, "Perhaps, it's just luck as he said."

Because from several observations, Qifeng is sincere to Konoha, to his companions, especially to his corpses.

This kind of thing cannot be disguised, Hiruzaru Sarutobi does not believe that someone can disguise himself and Orochimaru freely.

Therefore, he is a Konoha ninja, and his heart is in Konoha, there is no doubt about it.

Orochimaru shrugged, "Luck, maybe."

There really is nothing else to explain.

Lucky ninjas are really not without it, and Sarutobi Hiruzen has even seen more exaggerated ones.

Hundreds of thousands of ninjas fought on the battlefield, the death toll was as high as a thousand, and even the Jōnin suffered heavy casualties. A Konoha Shinobi who was in the center of the battle survived intact and almost without any damage. .

What is luck.

This is luck.

But luck is also part of strength.

"Whatever the reason, he's a Konoha ninja, that's enough."

Indeed, he is a Konoha ninja, and he is also a Konoha ninja who has gradually been recognized by others with his behavior of protecting corpses, and that is enough.

Didn't say much about Qifeng.

A lucky ninja is not enough for Hiruzaru Sarutobi to spend so much energy during this time period.

However, in Sarutobi's eyes, he was labeled as a ninja with good luck!
What Qifeng, who was far away in the morgue at this time, didn't know was that he was mentioned many times back and forth in the mouths of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.

And because of his usual positive attitude towards corpses, he was recognized by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If he knew, he would definitely take each corpse more seriously.

The attitude of protecting private property!
