I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 223 223. Pharmacist Kabuto

Half an hour later, the ANBU reported the conflict between Gaara, Sasuke and others to the Hokage Building.

After listening to the ANBU's report, the advisory duo responsible for preparing for the Chunin Exams frowned and looked up at Jiraiya in front of them, their eyes full of worry.

The conflict between genin candidates was not a big deal, but Sunagakure actually sent a jinchuriki to take part in the chunin exams.

The combination of the Jinchuuriki and the Kazekage is almost all of Sunagakure's current combat power. Once they want to do something in Konoha, even if Konoha completes the suppression, they will bear unacceptable losses.

And these are just the forces floating on the surface. There are still many conspirators lurking in the dark.

They kept their eyes on Konoha, ready to stir up trouble in this grand event.

Canceling the Chunin Exams at this time is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice, but the Chunin Exams are not only an arms race for Konoha, but also an opportunity for Konoha to exert influence on the surrounding small ninja villages.

Only by showing sufficient strength can the rulers of the small countries be convinced and build a defense alliance with the Fire Country as the center and many small countries joining it.

In this way, if a war breaks out, the battlefield will be in a small country and will not affect the mainland of the Fire Country.

However, due to their retirement, the two of them could not talk much. Sarutobi Hiruzen would miss their comradeship, but Jiraiya and Tsunade, who came to power through a coup, would not.

After all, they have long since lost the spirit and strength they had when they were young, and just want to spend their days quietly.

After reporting on the preparations for the Chuunin Exams, the advisory duo left the Hokage Building.

Tsunade glanced at the content of the report and said to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, why are you inviting Uzushio Village to participate in the Chunin Exam? Those Uchiha will definitely cause trouble in the Chunin Exam."

Tsunade didn't care much about Sunagakure, she was more concerned about the genin candidates in Uzushio Village.

Although Uzushio Village has had an ambiguous relationship with Konoha in recent years, it is essentially a Ninja Village founded by ninjas who defected from Konoha. As a descendant of the Senju, she has always been wary of Uchiha.

Jiraiya knew Tsunade's concerns and said with a chuckle: "Even if I don't invite them to take part in the Chunin Exam, they will find a way to sneak in. Why not invite them as guests openly and achieve deeper cooperation as soon as possible."

Two years after becoming Hokage, Jiraiya became significantly calmer and gradually took power into his own hands.

Many things, from the perspective of the Sannin, are completely different from the perspective of the Hokage. Just relying on passion may be able to move the genin who have just left the ninja school, but it will definitely not move the old foxes in the village.

Tsunade felt the changes in Jiraiya the most.

She didn't know whether this change was a good thing or not. Among the three people who fought against Hanzo Sansho and were given the title of Sannin, she seemed to be the only one who had stagnated.

Even as a medical ninja, she couldn't even overcome hemophobia and has not regained her fighting power.

Sensing Tsunade's worry, Jiraiya comforted him: "Don't worry, Tsunade, everything is under my control. There won't be any trouble in this Chuunin exam, and Konoha will be stronger."

Tsunade stopped thinking about it and continued busy with the daily chores of the village.

At this time, Jiraiya came to the window, looking at Konoha City in the distance, his eyes became extremely deep, and he was ready to face a turmoil.

…

The night is getting darker.

After creating a shadow clone and lying on the bed to sleep, Naruto left the hotel under the nose of the ANBU and rushed towards the location of the Uzumaki Shrine.

As a former ally of Konoha, the Uzumaki clan also maintains a presence in Konoha.

Guarding the shrine were two Konoha chunin. After Naruto easily bypassed their sight, he went straight to the Death Mask stored in the Uzumaki Shrine.

After using the inorganic reincarnation technique and entering the underground of the Uzumaki Shrine, Naruto frowned.

There is not a single mask inside the ancestral hall. Could it be that it was taken by the Third Hokage and used as a magic weapon to perform the Ghastly Seal?

Pity. If he could get the mask that sealed the souls of the Yondaime couple, he could try to resurrect Minato and Kushina and get the other half of the Kyuubi.

The complete Kyuubi is stronger than half of it, and can even turn on the heavy particle mode in desperate situations.

Just as Naruto was about to leave, he sensed traces of time and space ninjutsu. Apparently someone had used time and space abilities to come here, and within a few days.

As for the ninjas who currently master the ability of time and space in the ninja world, apart from him and Kakashi, only Obito is left.

It seems that Obito has also joined this grand Chunin Exam.

After leaving the Uzumaki Shrine, Naruto went to the Hyuga clan again and saw Hinata who was practicing corpse veins in the dojo. Judging from the amount of chakra, Hinata had undoubtedly reached the jounin level.

Naruto did not disturb Hinata's training, left a note in Hinata's room, and left in a hurry.

Hinata Hinata, who closed his eyes to rest, noticed the kunai firmly planted on the ground. After seeing the content on the note, his expression changed. After thinking for a while, he looked at the full moon outside the window.

…

Early next morning.

As soon as Shiro and Koro walked out of the room, they saw Naruto and Shisui sitting on the sofa. After saying hello, they went downstairs to have breakfast.

What they didn't know was that Naruto and Shisui didn't sleep at all last night and stayed out all night.

Shisui went to the Uchiha clan and met Sasuke who was practicing hard in the clan. However, because Sasuke was under surveillance from the ANBU, he did not approach rashly and was unable to give Mikoto's gift to Sasuke.

Naruto traveled through most of Konoha and completed the preliminary layout.

After breakfast, Naruto took Koso and Shiro to the Chunin exam assembly point to take the Chunin exam and become a Chunin. This was his dream as a Ninja school dropout for many years.

However, if nothing else goes wrong, he is destined to not be able to obtain the title of chuunin.

The Chuunin Exams are a series of events. No matter what happens, it will always involve the sacrifice of the Kazekage and the plan to destroy Konoha. This is essentially a desperate counterattack by Sunagakure against Konoha.

After arriving at the assembly point, Naruto looked intently and found many familiar people.

Putting aside the fact that he met nine Xiaoqiang yesterday, Naruto's eyes fell on one of the young men with glasses.

Naruto had some impressions of this young man with glasses.

The opponent is Kabuto, the director of the Konoha Orphanage, the perfect sage who can fight two pairs of kaleidoscopes, but that is all in the future.

Now, Kabuto Yakushi is just Orochimaru's spy left in Konoha Ninja Village, and his strength is at most equal to that of an elite jounin.

However, since Jiraiya has become Hokage, why is Kabuto Yakushi still staying in Konoha?

Dispersing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Naruto walked towards Yakushi Kabuto with Shiro and Koro. This man, one of the future masterminds of the ninja world, was currently selling information about the genin of each village, and was being watched by a group of genin.

Intelligence is an important part of ninja combat. If you know the information in advance, you can formulate corresponding tactics in advance.

At this time, a genin asked: "Kabuto-senpai, are there any noteworthy ninjas in this chuunin exam?"

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses: "This chuunin exam is much more intense than before. These ninjas must pay more attention. Once you encounter them, it is best to give up the competition. After all, you can still participate in the chunin exam next year. , but there is only one life.”

"Lord Menma, Shiro and I were mentioned by him..."

After being read his name, Xiang Liao said happily. Then he looked at Naruto and thought to himself: What level will Menma-sama be rated at?

As if aware of Kabuto's thoughts, Naruto smiled, then crossed the crowd and passed by Yakushi Kabuto.

He didn't care what Kabuto Yakushi thought of him, but he was a little regretful that he didn't get Kabuto Yakushi in advance. Although Kabuto Yakushi's scientific research level was not as good as Orochimaru's, he was still a genius in scientific research.

But at the beginning, he had no idea of ​​leaving Konoha and establishing a ninja village.

At this time, Yakushi Kabuto noticed the sensation and suddenly looked at where Naruto was, his eyes extremely solemn.

Unlike this group of genin newcomers, he has the strength of a jounin and can sense the existence of natural energy. Among the candidates taking the chunin exam, how can there be anyone whose natural energy exceeds that of Jugo, who was born with a fairy body?
