"Lord Hokage, the first team to complete the assessment has appeared."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order and was about to leave, the subordinate responsible for supervising the examination reported the news.

"Oh? Which team is it?"

Suppressing the worries in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with expectation and curiosity.

"It's Team [-] of Hinata Hinata, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame."

"Oh. It's them."

Sarutobi Hiizhan nodded.

"Well, it's not surprising that they were able to complete the assessment first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew Inuzuka Kiba's true strength and had always paid close attention to him, didn't feel special.

But Magee, the Sunagakure jounin who led the Sunagakure genin to participate in the chunin selection, obviously couldn't calm down.

Gaara, as the village's war weapon, has always been kept secret. If it hadn't been for Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha this time, Sunagakure would not have sent Gaara.

But now, Gaara has not finished the exam after taking so long. Not to mention walking out of the forest of death, he is not the first to complete the exam. This inevitably makes him feel worried and vigilant.

The seal on Gaara's body was only a semi-finished product. Because of the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa's tricks, Gaara was very easy to go berserk. Seeing that Gaara was so late than he expected, he couldn't help but worry about my love. Did Luo go berserk because of some accident?

If this is the case, then Konoha will most likely notice something is wrong, and by then, the entire Konoha collapse plan will likely fail.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still.

But just as he was about to stand up, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, causing him to sit back immediately.

"Orochimaru? I thought you wouldn't arrive in Konoha until a month later."

Looking at Orochimaru who suddenly appeared in front of him, the pressure in Ma Ji's heart doubled, and his whole body was like a taut spring.

The shadow of the tree of names.

Even this time, Sunagakure and Orochimaru are in a cooperative relationship.

Facing Orochimaru, who always acted without scruples and was unpredictable in mood and anger, he still did not dare to slack off at all.

"Haha, among the conditions of our cooperation, there is no such thing as the fact that I have to inform you of my whereabouts."

Orochimaru leaned against the door frame, chuckled, and replied in a disdainful tone.

"Or are you, Sunagakure, secretly preparing something behind my back?"

"Hmph! Sunagakure also has no obligation to tell you everything."

With a cold snort, Ma Ji narrowed his eyes and pushed back with a stiff tone.

"Ha, I don't bother to ask what you Sunagakure wants to do."

Orochimaru sneered, his tone suddenly turned cold.

"But if my plans are ruined because of your uncontrolled jinchūriki, I don't mind leaving you all here!"

"You met Gaara?!"

Ma Ji's pupils trembled sharply, he stood up suddenly and exclaimed in surprise.

He finally knew why Gaara still hadn't finished the exam and walked out of the Death Forest.

"what have you done?!"

He glared at Orochimaru and questioned sternly.

"I just told him to calm down."

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly.

"Ha, you should be glad that he met me. Otherwise, you will never be able to return to Sunagakure, and Sunagakure will lose his only tailed beast forever."

"you may try it."

Maki, who had just forced himself to calm down, was angered again by Orochimaru's contempt.

"Don't worry, you are still valuable to me now."

Orochimaru was noncommittal.

"However, before the day comes when the plan is launched, let your jinchūriki continue to calm down."

After saying the next sentence, he disappeared without a trace.

Under the light, Ma Ji's face was reflected in the white cloth on his face, black and white, like an evil ghost who had just come to the world.

. . .

In the Hokage's office, Kiba Inuzuka, who had just left the Forest of Death, stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, describing to him what happened in the Forest of Death.

However, he also knew very well that "One-Tailed Shukaku" and "Orochimaru" were not information that he should know, so he just tried his best to describe Gaara's tailed beast transformation and the ninjutsu used by Orochimaru. The description was more detailed, leading Hiruzen Sarutobi to figure out the answer on his own.

"Is that child actually one of Sunagakure's jinchūriki?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who already knew that Orochimaru had blended into the Forest of Death, was undoubtedly even more surprised by Gaara's true identity.

"Grandpa Sandaime, I think that guy who is neither a man nor a woman, nor a human nor a snake is more terrifying. When did the grass ninja have such a powerful ninja? How can such a ninja still be a genin?"

Seeing this, Inuzuka Kiba had no choice but to direct the topic to Orochimaru.

"If this continues, I think I can just give up taking the Chunin Exam."

"That person is not a grass ninja, let alone a genin, but..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't want to talk about Orochimaru, could only sigh softly and explain somewhat vaguely when he heard this.

"But Ya, you can rest assured. That guy has been expelled from the village by the ANBU. You don't have to worry too much about the next exam."

'Ha ha. '

Inuzuka Kiba wanted to scold her.

He knew that Orochimaru not only did not leave, but also stayed in the core area to watch the battle.

"Grandpa Third Generation, why don't you just cancel this Chuunin Exam?"

He still wants to try harder.

"There are obviously many people who came to participate in the Chunin Exam this time with other purposes, like Gaara, like that inhumane guy. If they continue, it may be dangerous, and even threaten the safety of the village. .”

As the saying goes, good words can never persuade a damned person.

Although this sounds ugly, it is not unreasonable.

Even if he got Orochimaru's confirmation that he had infiltrated Konoha, and even if he now knew that Sunagakure had actually sent jinchūriki to Konoha who could lose control at any time, he still felt that he could hold the crowd and did not want to stop because of these unfounded threats. The Ninja Exam made Konoha the laughingstock of the Ninja world.

And listening to his explanation, Inuzuka Kiba really wanted to tell him loudly.

As the Chuunin Exams continue, your great disciple will manipulate your two teachers into messing with you.

At that time, Konoha will still become the target of ridicule from other villages, not to mention you, the Hokage, will have to pay for it with your life.

When the time comes that there will be no leader, Konoha will fall into turmoil, and ghosts and monsters will pop up to cause trouble.

Even if you want to die, you should at least designate an heir and make arrangements for your funeral, right?

Unfortunately, he was destined to only express these grumbles and complaints in his heart. On his face, he could only pretend to be full of trust in the "invincible Hokage", and turned around and left helplessly.

"Hokage-sama, please be more careful about strangers who appear around you."

However, when he opened the door and took one foot out of the room, he still couldn't hold back the torment in his heart. He turned his head and gave a careless reminder before slamming the door shut.
