Zongman: The Infinite Journey Starting from Inuyasha

"Third Hokage, how come you have time to come to my place? The second round of the Chunin Exam should be almost over."

Seshomaru was not surprised to see the Third Hokage.

Seeing Seshomaru's look, the Sandaime frowned slightly and said, "Sesshomaru-sama, the ninjas from your Wave Country have snatched all the scrolls for the second exam. Now only the Wave Ninjas are left. I am in a difficult situation."

Seshomaru smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? If I remember correctly, we have nine people in the Wave Ninja, which is not a small number. We can just compete as we want.

As for the others, they are so weak that they cannot become Chunin. If they become Chunin, they will only harm themselves and others."

Seshomaru blocked the Third Hokage with just one sentence, but it couldn't be blamed on him. The exam rules didn't say that all the scrolls couldn't be snatched away.

But now that Wave Country has become their home ground, Konoha, as the host, cannot afford to lose this person.

Moreover, there are many politicians coming to watch the competition. If they only see ninjas from the Land of Waves, they will probably have fewer missions in Konoha in the future.

In this way, how will they survive in Konoha in the future? The main source of income may even be cut in half. They will have to tighten their belts to survive, and even have to beg from the daimyo.

In addition to the normal selection of ninjas, the Chunin Exam is also an important way to assess each other's strength. It's almost like the younger generation has no future, so what future do you have for your ninja village?

The most important thing is to perform in front of big customers, just like advertising.

You see, I’m a very strong ninja. Come to me if you have any mission in the future. I guarantee you will be satisfied.

When it comes to paying for peace, people from all forces will naturally choose a ninja village with guaranteed strength.

Therefore, the ninja villages that performed outstandingly in the Chunin Exams would naturally receive more missions.

Once you become famous, money will come in.

An existence like a ninja village doesn't have very strong production capacity. If no one asks you to give you tasks, I'm sorry, you may not even have enough food to eat.

The Third Hokage came out of the Senju clan's territory, feeling helpless.

He had wanted to communicate with Seshomaru, but he had not expected this result.

Back in the office, the Third Hokage sat in a chair and smoked silently.

His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Amid the smoke, the Third Hokage fell into deep thought. He knew he had to take action, otherwise Konoha would have a hard time.

If all the people from the Wave Country were to be sent to do the work, their income would definitely be reduced, and they might also be held accountable by the daimyo, and some of their funding might even be deducted.

But in the current situation, he can't do anything. The rules are set by themselves, and breaking their own rules will affect the reputation of Konoha.

"Someone, notify the advisory elders and the heads of the major ninja clans to come to the meeting."

This matter is closely related to everyone's interests. We must all work together to overcome the difficulties. He cannot be the only one who suffers.

……

The third qualifying round was directly cancelled, but a challenge qualifying round was added. The Wave Country was not notified, and the remaining teams that participated in the second exam competed, leaving half of the people behind.

The remaining half will wait until the third Wave Country competition is over before participating in the challenge match. It is not for the purpose of promoting Chunin, but is simply a challenge match and then a ranking will be made.

Certain rewards will be given after ranking.

The first place is an A-level ninjutsu.

The second and third place will receive a B-level ninjutsu.

Four or five people each have a C-level ninjutsu.

100,000 yen per person for six to ten people.

The remaining reward is a Konoha special kunai.

The challenge preliminaries completely excluded the Wave Country, and only after the competition was completed did the Wave Country receive a notice that the finals would be held one month later.

This month is crucial in the original plot. For example, in Team 7, except for Sakura, Naruto learned the summoning technique from Jiraiya, and Sasuke learned Chidori from Kakashi.

……

"Sesshomaru, how long are you going to stay in Konoha? I can't bear it any longer. That guy Danzo actually came to threaten me."

Orochimaru said sadly.

Seshomaru smiled and said, "Just bear with it for a while. Tsunade has been obsessed with showing off her baby and taking little Yixuan around to visit people everywhere. It will take her a while to finish."

After the second round of the Chunin Exam, Tsunade took little Yixuan out on the street. The mother and daughter were praised so much that they lost themselves in the praise. Now they go visiting neighbors and strolling around the streets, and are addicted to it.

"And don't you look quite happy, strolling around every day, and revisiting the teacher-student relationship with Hongdou from time to time."

"...Okay then, there's nothing to worry about when we go back anyway." Orochimaru's expression froze and he replied unnaturally.

After receiving the secret of immortality from Seshomaru, he has let go of a lot and returned to Konoha. Although he doesn't say it, he feels good to walk here openly.

Watching the hypocritical Orochimaru leave, Seshomaru smiled. Uncle Snake can be a little cute sometimes.

A few days later, while everyone else was busy with special training, Seshomaru had nothing better to do and copied all the ninjutsu in Konoha's collection.

The Uzumaki clan indeed has all kinds of sealing techniques and ninjutsu. I wonder if they were left behind by Mito or collected when the Uzumaki Country was destroyed?

The sealing techniques of the Whirlpool Country require Whirlpool blood to practice, but otherwise their sealing techniques are quite good.

However, after seeing it, Seshomaru imitated it and developed several new sealing techniques.

In addition, we also found many unique ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, and the finishing work was indeed well done.

……

On this day, Tsunade and little Yixuan had just come out of the Hyuga clan and met Jiraiya on the street.

It shouldn’t be said that they met, but Jiraiya jumped out after seeing Tsunade.

He had just returned to the village and originally wanted to go to the hot spring town to collect materials, but he saw Tsunade. However, the change in Tsunade made him feel a little strange and he couldn't recognize her.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, who was young, noble, and still exuded a bit of kindness, and said uncertainly, "Tsunade?"

Tsunade was a little surprised to see Jiraiya, but she didn't think anything was wrong. She smiled and said hello, "Jiraiya, it's you. When did you come back?"

Jiraiya asked again unsurely, "Are you really Tsunade?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "Why, you can't recognize me anymore. You and the old man had the same expression when you first saw me."

The martial arts that Seshomaru gave him made him younger the more he practiced it, which made his peers and even younger girls envious to death.

It seems like I've grown again, and my old clothes have become smaller and some of them don't fit me anymore.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've changed a lot." Jiraiya's eyes were a little dazed, as if he saw the shadow of Tsunade many years ago.

Little Yixuan shook Tsunade's hand and asked, "Mom, who is this uncle?"

Tsunade casually replied, "Oh, it's mom's former classmate and teammate Jiraiya."

Then he introduced Jiraiya: "By the way, Jiraiya, this is my daughter Yixuan."

Mother!?

daughter!?

Jiraiya felt as if a bolt of thunder had sounded in his mind, shocking him completely.

His eyes became empty and lifeless, as if they had lost focus.

His body was shaking involuntarily, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, making him seem helpless.

His face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless, and his lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out.

At this moment, Jiraiya seemed to have all his strength and courage drained away by an invisible force, and fell into extreme shock and helplessness.
