Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

Hokage building, conference room.

"Two years ago, the reason why Konoha's joint chuunin exams were suspended is well known! Everyone knows the rights and wrongs, so there is no need to say more today..."

"Now Hokage-sama plans to re-hold the Chuunin exam, which can be regarded as a make-up test for the last interrupted exam. Kazekage-sama, has Sunagakure decided to participate in this joint Chunin exam?" Beside Tsunade, Shizune looked at Gaara San. People get straight to the point.

The subordinates of Tsunade are Shikaku, Kakashi, Sasuke and Shikamaru.

"About this, we want to know the true purpose of Lord Hokage. The so-called make-up exam has no meaning to us! Whether it is the identity of the two of them or ours, it is enough to prove that this Chunin make-up exam is unnecessary." Within a moment, , Kankuro pointed at Sasuke and Shikamaru and asked sharply.

Several of them are now either jounin or chuunin, Gaara and even Kage! The reason for taking a make-up exam is simply untenable.

"Haha... Then, just say it to show your sincerity!" Tsunade saw this and simply said it frankly. In itself, she hates the tortuous so-called politics.

"The first reason is to take the opportunity to collect intelligence from various countries and test the strength and potential of each country. This is also one of the tacit purposes of the joint examination."

"Second, we have received news that the [Akatsuki] organization will take action to capture the tailed beasts soon. As a one-tailed jinchuriki, the Kazekage-dono is one of their targets. Therefore, opening up the village to accept candidates from all countries this time is also a test. An attempt by [Xiao]..."

In an instant, Tsunade's speech was like a bomb that detonated the entire conference room.

"Akatsuki wants to capture the tailed beast? How is that possible!!" Temari couldn't wait to speak first, her worry palpable.

With great difficulty, her brother got rid of Shukaku's influence and became the Fifth Kazekage. How could he now...

"This is the exact information obtained from Master Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and the former Akatsuki member Konoha rebel Orochimaru!" Seeing Temari's doubts, Kakashi couldn't help but confirm it.

"Damn it..." Temari and Kankuro gasped for breath at the same time, showing dissatisfaction upon hearing the information they had received from the second of the Konoha Sannin.

"Xiao!!" Shikaku and his son's eyes flashed at the same time, and they were very concerned about this organization that dared to collect tailed beasts.

"Then, I agree!" Just when everyone was secretly shocked, Gaara said with a flash of determination in his eyes. "However, I request that this joint examination be held under the auspices of Sunagakure. Since it is a bait to stimulate [Akatsuki], it is most appropriate for me, the Jinchuuriki, to take the initiative! Moreover, I want to announce to all countries in this joint examination that I will be the Kazekage." position..."

"No, I don't agree! This is a joint examination initiated by Konoha, how can Sunagakure be allowed to host it." Tsunade, who heard Gaara's request for the first time, refused without hesitation.

If Sunagakure is to host it, then there is no point in Konoha taking the lead! She also lost the meaning of using the Chuunin Exam to show Konoha's strength and test the strength of various countries...

"If Hokage-sama insists, then it is a pity that Sunagakure may not be able to participate this time!" Gaara went straight to the general without showing any weakness. He could not let go of this stage to show Sunagakure's strength to other countries.

Because of the last invasion of Konoha and the death of the fourth Kazekage, the outside world seriously underestimated Sunagakure's strength! This also resulted in Sunagakure's workload being very small and almost unable to make ends meet. Coupled with the previous ransom payment to Konoha, Sunagakure must use his strength to change the image of Ninja Village.

Moreover, he also needs this opportunity to eliminate the opposition in the village...

"Master Kazekage, isn't this too risky!"

"Yes, this matter needs long-term consideration..."

Temari and Kankuro, who didn't know Gaara's considerations, stopped them at the same time. Sunagakure could no longer bear the consequences of losing Gaara.

[This kid can become the Kazekage, so he is really not a simple character...] At the same time, Tsunade and Shikaku looked at Gaara and secretly gritted their teeth.

It is true that this time it is a joint examination sponsored by Konoha. Even if Sunagakure doesn't participate, logically it doesn't hurt!

But in fact, if Sunagakure doesn't participate, it might really become a one-man show for the Konoha family. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure will most likely refuse to participate like last time.

So the final result is likely to be an embarrassing performance between Konoha and some small villages, which will not meet Tsunade's expectations and will make Konoha a laughing stock in the ninja world!

"So, can this exam be divided into two venues? Konoha will host the first one, and Sunagakure will host the second one." Just when the negotiations reached a deadlock, the silent Sasuke suddenly suggested.

Knowing the outcome, he didn't want to delay this for too long...

"It's divided into two venues! One written test and one practical test. Good opinion!" Lu Jiu reacted first and unexpectedly glanced at Sasuke to express his approval.

In this case, this is already the best choice!

Moreover, Sasuke's move undoubtedly transferred the greatest risk to Sunagakure. [Xiao] If there is any change, it will definitely be done during the actual combat assessment.

Just like Orochimaru launched the plan to collapse Konoha!

As for showing Konoha's strength and gathering intelligence, there was not much delay in these two exams...

"Hokage-sama..." Kakashi, who also understood the mystery, immediately turned to look at Tsunade, standing up for his disciple.

"Huh... If Mr. Kazekage accepts this proposal, then you can move on to the next topic. If you don't agree, then please do it yourself!" Tsunade exhaled a breath, and immediately regained her previous confidence and said unquestionably.

She didn't believe that Gaara, who was eager to show Sunagakure's name, disagreed with this plan.

[This guy is indeed not simple, whether it is strength or wisdom...] Gaara turned his head and looked at Sasuke deeply, and agreed to the plan under the hesitant expressions of Temari and Kankuro.

Just as Tsunade thought, he must not let go of this golden opportunity!

An hour later, the Hokage's office.

"Kakashi, Sasuke, it has been confirmed that the joint chunin exam will be held in a week. You can go and send the invitation letters! Remember, safety first..." Returning to the office, Tsunade faced Kakashi and Sasuke. He ordered solemnly.

Shizune from Kumogakure and Kirigakure had just sent ANBU there, and now they were just missing the two most critical villages!

"Yes, Hokage-sama..."

Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other and responded in unison, took the scroll and walked out of the Hokage Building.

"Sasuke, I have been busy and haven't talked to you. The Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Rain are in the same direction. Let's set off together! I want to know your growth in the past two years..." Looking at Sasuke next to him who is not weaker than himself in height , Kakashi suggested with a glint in his eyes.

Letting Sasuke go to Iwagakure to face Onoki alone, I still feel a little worried without testing his strength!
