A Journey to the Heavens Beginning with Pirates

If you randomly find a Konoha villager and ask him what he thinks about the Kyuubi, he probably has no opinion, because when he hears the name, he may be frightened and faint. Of course, he may also be shocked because of the extreme He lost his mind due to resentment.

If you find a ninja and ask him what he thinks of Kyuubi, even the strongest ninja will show an expression of powerlessness or despair.

That's really desperate. In front of Nine-Tails, you are like an ant. You may be crushed to death by the other party at any time. The most important thing is that the other party did not mean to crush you to death, but just didn't pay attention when he lowered his claws. That's all until you're under its paws.

So what harm can a ninja do to the Kyuubi?A huge fireball?It's just a perm for Kyuubi.Great Waterfall Technique?Just give Kyuubi a foot bath.Thunder escape?This is a massage guy!

Don’t break the defense!Haha, if Kyuubi doesn't break his defense, the ninja who attacks Kyuubi will be stimulated to break his defense!

To Konoha Village, Kyuubi represents blood and fire, disaster, and all imaginable negative emotions.Even if it is a Kage-level existence, there is actually no good way to deal with the Nine-Tails. As the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato paid the price with his life in order to seal the Nine-Tails. Although Namikaze Minato can instantly use the Flying Thunder God Technique. Invincible, but for the safety of Konoha Village, tragedy occurred.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen is already old. In terms of hard power, he is not as good as Namikaze Minato, so he has no way to deal with the Kyuubi.

This is not to say that the existence of the shadow level is too weak. On the contrary, the existence of the shadow level is very strong. It is already the ceiling of the strength of the ninja world. How many ninjas are there, and how many shadow levels are there?However, the tailed beast is stronger!And it’s incredibly strong!There are only a handful of people who can compete with the tailed beasts, such as the Sandaime Raikage, who can even stand on a tie with the eight-tailed beasts. It is indeed a great comparison, with the appearance of a mortal, comparable to the gods!

As for Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, don’t count them. After all, these two are out of the norm, and they are the protagonists of the novel. When the Son of God returns as reincarnation, no one can take the role!

So now, you can imagine how shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen was when he heard the shocking news that Naruto and Kyuubi had reached a consensus with the help of Su Yu!

So the other party's danger level is already comparable to that of Kyuubi?Or does the other party have some secret technique that specifically targets tailed beasts but is useless against ninjas?His speculation was not unreasonable. The more powerful the secret technique, the greater the restrictions or costs. But it was a pity that Su Yu's existence was beyond his three views.

But the good news now is that the other party still has good intentions towards Konoha, or in other words, towards Naruto.

For a moment, silence fell in the Hokage's office.

And just when the air became more and more solemn, the monitor next to him suddenly flashed a few times, and then a clear picture appeared, which showed a ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector.

"Reporting to Anko-sama, the number of people who have passed the second exam has been determined to be 21! According to the rules of the Chunin Exam, the third exam will use questions that have not been used for five years! The second exam is over!"

This report interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's thinking. He was shocked to realize that compared to Su Yu, the mysterious man whose strength was unknown, Orochimaru, a man with obvious malice towards Konoha, was probably more serious!

However, we still don’t know what the purpose of the other party’s coming to Konoha is, so let’s put it aside for now. The most important thing now is to continue the Chuunin Exams first!

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Let's leave Orochimaru's matter as it is. I will send ANBU to guard him. Let's move on to the next exam first!"

In a square with a very high dome, all the candidates who had passed the second exam were lined up neatly. In front of them stood their respective leading teachers, and standing facing them at the front was none other than Hiroyuki Sarutobi as the Hokage. Zhan, and the examiner of the second exam, Mitarai Anko!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the contestants standing below. The number of people passing through was beyond his expectation, more than he imagined.

His gaze passed over everyone's face, and when he passed over Naruto, he stayed for a moment longer, and then moved to the next person's face without leaving a trace.

Most of them were ninjas from Konoha (although Konoha also had the largest number of participants...), which made him a little relieved. After all, the Chuunin Exams were held together in many countries and had an inherent purpose.

And what surprised him was that three of the five groups in Konoha were newcomers!And the most important thing is that there are only three groups of newcomers taking part in this Chunin Exam!Regardless of Kakashi, they all tried their best to recommend their students to take the exam. They had great confidence in their students, and their students lived up to this confidence.

At this time, Anko, who was standing on the side, suddenly said loudly: "Next, I would like to ask the Hokage to explain the third exam. Everyone, pay attention!"

Then, Anko faced Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Hokage-sama, please!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then took a few steps forward, cleared his throat, and said:

"Next, the third exam will be conducted! Before explaining it, I want to tell you one thing clearly, about the real purpose of this exam! Why do the Allied Powers hold exams together?"

Hearing this, the attention of everyone below was aroused. The current atmosphere felt like a secret was about to be revealed. It was so exciting!

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at everyone, and then continued:

"Friendship between allies will promote each other's development, but where there are people, there will be disputes! I hope you don't misunderstand the significance of this exam! This exam is just like -"

The players below who were listening to him attentively subconsciously repeated in their hearts, that is——

And when he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused deliberately, took out the pipe in his mouth, and blew out a smoke ring.

After the tense atmosphere was created, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:

"That's it, the epitome of the war between the allies!"

Everyone below was shocked. They did not expect to hear war, a word that was so far away from them and so harsh, from the Hokage's mouth!

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen explained directly: "If you look at the history of various countries, you will know that in the past, the current allies were, to put it mildly, competitors. There were constant wars between countries, and the financial resources required for wars were, Manpower is a heavy burden for any country, and it is a continuous mental drain and blow to the ninjas participating in the war or the civilians affected. Therefore, in order to avoid such unnecessary consumption, all countries ended up losing in the end, so , this special battle venue was chosen! And this is the original purpose of the Chuunin Selection Examination!"

But even though he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart, because he knew clearly that this looked really good, and that countries lived in harmony without war, but this was just accumulating conflicts, no matter what However, there will always be a winner in such a competition in the end, and others who did not win will definitely be unhappy, and victory in all forms except real war is actually meaningless. "If there is a real war, I will definitely win the war in the end!" Similar to this thought, it must be the thought of everyone who loses this battle, so the inevitable result is the Ninja World War!

At this time, Naruto couldn't help but ask: "Why does it have to be like this? Isn't the exam just for the purpose of selecting Chunin?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Naruto, and then replied: "This is indeed a purpose, but on the other hand, this exam is also a place for ninjas who shoulder the country's prestige to fight with all their strength! This is inevitable of!"

After listening to the explanation of the Hokage, everyone felt confused. Why did they feel that an ordinary exam suddenly became extraordinary? What kind of national prestige? Why do you have to bear such inexplicable things when taking an exam? They just wanted to Promote a chuunin!

Regardless of their mood, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:

"For this third exam, we will invite famous figures from various countries who have given commissions to our ninjas. These people will watch your battle, so your performance in the battle is very important. How you perform now will represent Depending on whether the country you belong to is strong or weak, a strong country will naturally receive more entrustments. If it is recognized as a weak country, then the entrustments will naturally be reduced. It does not stop there. Since it is a strong country, it will naturally receive more entrustments. Neighboring countries create powerless deterrence, that is to say, it can achieve the effect of exerting diplomatic pressure!”

At this time, the impatient Inuzuka Kiba asked in his soul: "Even so, why do we need to fight to the death? Is it really necessary to do this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry either. His tone remained unchanged and he said: "The strength of the country lies in the strength of the Ninja Village, and the strength of the Ninja Village lies in the strength of the ninja. The strength of the ninja can only be obtained in life and death battles." Reflect! This exam is an opportunity to show your strength! It is meaningful because it is a test that involves risking your life! It is also because of this that people in the past took it with the dream that "this is a worthy goal." take an exam!"

At this time, Tiantian discovered the flaw in this explanation. She said: "But why is there still such a term as "friendly"?"

Girl, you asked a good question!Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but say in his heart that the so-called friendship is just a tacit understanding maintained on the surface, alas~

Sighing in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "That's why I said before, don't misunderstand the significance of this exam. The habit of maintaining peace with the help of killing is the friendship between ninjas! So, for your dream, and national prestige, do your best to do it!”
