I run an orphanage in Konoha

The Kingdom of Thunder, Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage Building.

A middle-aged man with dark skin, long light yellow hair, and a long beard sat in the Raikage's office with a straight face.

This man has a lightning-shaped scar on his chest and a tattoo of the word "Thunder" on his right shoulder. He is clearly the Third Raikage of Kumogakure Village.

The Third Raikage closed his eyes and seemed to be resting.

Just then, a man wearing a black hat and an eyepatch on his left eye walked in.

"Lord Raikage!"

The Third Raikage opened his eyes and glanced at the man, then said: "It's Tutai! What's the matter?"

Dodai is an elite Jonin of Cloud Hidden Village, possessing the realm of Melting Release Blood Succession. He is the most trusted subordinate of the Third Raikage, and is also the reviewer of the Thunder Plow Heat Sword of all generations.

Dodai took two steps forward slightly and handed the information in his hand to the Third Raikage.

"Lord Raikage! Now there are many genin in the village who have reached the level of chunin. Should we hold a chunin selection exam to select qualified ninjas to be promoted to chunin?"

Raikage glanced at the information in his hand and sighed: "We haven't held a Chunin selection exam since the Second Ninja War. It's time to hold a Chunin selection exam!"

"You will be responsible for this chuunin selection exam!"

"Yes!" Todai nodded respectfully and continued, "Lord Raikage, I have another suggestion. We can invite Konoha Village to jointly hold the Chunin Selection Examination this time, and invite some other Minor Ninja Villages to participate. Peep the reserve power of Konoha Village!"

The Third Raikage thought for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes!"

……

Konoha, Naruto Office.

The Third Hokage is burying his head under many documents and is extremely busy!

Recently, there have been many cases of missing babies in villages in the Land of Fire. The daimyo was furious and ordered him to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Although he sent several ANBU to investigate, they found nothing.

"Dudududu!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and whispered: "Come in!"

Soon Mito Monobu came in from the doorman holding a letter.

Mito Kadoyan looked at the slightly tired Sandaime and said, "Hiruzhan, hasn't that matter been found out yet?"

The third generation shook his head, his expression a bit ugly: "The other party's hands and feet are very clean, without leaving any traces!"

Mito Kadoba's expression was also a little solemn. Their senior advisor was the bridge between Konoha Hidden Village and the Country of Fire. He was also under a lot of pressure on this matter!

After a moment of silence, Sandai raised his head and said in a deep voice: "We will talk about this later. By the way, what are you doing here?"

Only then did Mito Kadoyan react and quickly handed the letter in his hand to the third generation.

"This is a letter just sent from Kumogakure Village, inviting us to jointly hold the Chuunin Exam. Do we agree to them?"

"Cloud Hidden Village!" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "Those guys kidnapped Kushina in the village last time, and some time ago they used conspiracy and tricks to trigger a war between the Fire Country and the Wind Country. This time they kidnapped Kushina. What do you want to do?"

"You said this was a conspiracy?" Mito Menyan asked doubtfully.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Then shall we agree to them?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe on the table and filled it with tobacco while thinking about the gains and losses.

If they don't agree, Kumoyin Village will definitely use this to make a fuss about the weakness of the Fire Country and the lack of reserve strength of Konoha Village.

Although they don't care about these rumors, the employers will definitely be suspicious of Konoha, which will affect the village's acceptance of future tasks.

If they agree, I don’t know if there is any conspiracy behind them.

In addition, the current ninja world is turbulent and turbulent. The road to Kumogakure Village is far away, and the journey may not go smoothly.

Amidst the smoke, a trace of determination flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

"Promise them!"

Mito Monohan nodded and said, "Then who will lead the team this time when we go to Cloud Hidden Village to take the Chunin Exam?"

You must know that not everyone is qualified to lead a team to participate in the Chuunin Exam. At the very least, you must have the strength of an elite Jonin, and at the same time, you must have sufficient vigilance and judgment.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer for a long time, Mito Kadenen suggested: "How about Orochimaru?"

As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru has no problem with his strength, and his vigilance and judgment are enough to take on this task.

But Orochimaru——

Recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Orochimaru's aura was getting colder and colder. He didn't feel like a human being, but rather like a beast.

Sarutobi Hizan shook his head.

"Then let Minato go?"

"Minato is not in the village right now. He is performing a very confidential mission."

Neither of them mentioned Hatake Sakumo, as if there was no such person in the village.

Just when the two were entangled, a figure flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

……

Konoha Orphanage!

Shubai Bai stood quietly in the practice room holding a pheasant sword in his hand.

Suddenly, dozens of shurikens were fired at him from the four walls and ceiling.

The shurikens drew a series of afterimages in the air, and then enveloped Hayashiro like a big net.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably faint from fear.

Because these hidden weapons enveloped Hayabusa's entire body, there was no room for him to dodge.

Just when the shuriken was about to hit Hayashiro, a flash of purple light flashed in the training room. The Kusanagi sword in Hayashiro's hand flew in the air like a purple dragon, protecting himself from the wind.

"Clang clang clang..."

Only the sound of metal clashing was heard in the training room, and shurikens continued to fall to the ground.

When Hayabusa stopped, there was no shuriken in the air, and Hayabusa's body was still as white as snow.

After several months of practice, Hayashibai has mastered the Kusanagi Sword like an arm and a finger.

After cleaning up the ground, Shubai walked out of the practice room holding the Kusanagi Sword.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Hayashiro felt a wave of chakra approaching the orphanage quickly.

A moment later, an ANBU appeared in front of Hayashiro.

"Sir Hayashiro, the Hokage has summoned you!"

Hayashiro was a little confused, what was the Hokage doing with him at this time?

"Okay, then let's go!"

After saying that, Hayabusa disappeared directly into the yard with a teleportation technique.

"As expected of Hayashiro-senpai, the teleportation technique is so fast!" The ANBU ninja secretly admired him, and then the figure disappeared into the yard.

5 minutes later, Hayashiro's figure appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama! You summoned me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand and handed the information on the table to Hayashiro: "Would you like to take a look at this first?"

Shubai took the information and read it at a glance.

Hayashiro soon read the information and asked, "Are you planning to send genin to participate?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "That's right! And I'm going to let you lead the team!"

When Hayashiro heard this, he decisively refused: "Hokage-sama, I'm afraid I'm not qualified?"

Just kidding, only a fool would take on such a thankless task?

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have expected that Hayashiro would refuse, so he took out a large scroll from the cabinet and placed it in front of Hayashiro.

"As long as you are willing to lead the team, I will allow you to learn a ninjutsu from it!"
