Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

There are still ten days left until the Joint Chunin Exam, and the Kirigakure has already begun to gather and prepare to set off!

In addition to the eighteen people used as references, this time the Kirigakure also includes the Third Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage, and Biwa Juuzou!

Biwa Juzo was the leader of the team of eighteen people, while the two Kages did not bring any other guards!

The news that the Third Mizukage had made another breakthrough was no secret among the village’s top leaders, so everyone was relieved!

"With the Sandaime-sama and the Fourth-sama Mizukage working together, there will be no mistakes!"

"Yes! At this Five Kage Summit, I, Kirigakure, will definitely be able to make the strongest voice!"

"It's an honor for these little guys to be able to travel with the two Mizukages! I'm a little envious!"

After bidding farewell to the top leaders of Kirigakure, the group left Kirigakure and headed for Konoha Village!

Four days later, it was Hatake Sakumo again who welcomed the people from Kirigakure at the gate of Konoha!

"Third-generation Mizukage, Fourth-generation Mizukage, we have been waiting for a long time, please come in!" said Hatake Sakumo.

"White Fang! We are old acquaintances. Are the people from other villages all here?" said the Third Mizukage.

"Third-generation Mizukage, you are the first to arrive. Lord Kazekage will also arrive later today. Lord Tsuchikage and Lord Raikage are also on the way!" said Hatake Sakumo.

The Third Mizukage nodded, "I never thought that a few of us Third-generation old guys would be able to sit at the same table. This Five Kage Summit is really something I'm looking forward to!"

The group quickly arrived at their residence, and after settling down, the candidates from Kirigakure went to stroll around Konoha Village!

As evening approached, the Third Kazekage of Sand Village and his group arrived in Konoha, and they were greeted by Jiraiya! Their residence was right next to that of Kirigakure.

As participants in the Three Kage Meeting the previous year, Karatachi Yagura, the Third Kazekage, was invited by Sarutobi Hiruzen to attend a dinner that evening!

Although the Third Mizukage was also invited, he did not go. His reason was, "The Ninja Kirigakure is already ruled by the Fourth. I am here only to support my disciples at the Five Kage Summit and to meet my old rivals and friends. Apart from the Five Kage Summit, I will not participate in any other activities. Please forgive me!"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who received the reply, did not expect that the Third Mizukage would really become a hands-off boss. He was a little surprised, but did not say much.

The dinner went very pleasantly. Sarutobi Hiruzen obtained the promise of Kirigakure that Kirigakure would not make any small moves during the joint Chunin Exams and would still adhere to the policy of non-confrontation and non-alignment.

And Kirigakure did it. During the entire Joint Chunin Exam, apart from watching the games normally, Karatachi Yagura met with people from other villages in formal occasions!

And the Third Mizukage, as he had said before, stayed in his residence until the day of the Five Kage Summit, when he did not leave the house!

The Third Raikage and his group from Kumogakure arrived at Konoha Village the next day, and they were greeted by Tsunade!

The Iwagakure group was the last to arrive. The Third Tsuchikage and others arrived the day before the joint Chunin Exam, and they were greeted by Orochimaru!

In the evening, Dihuangwan returned to his own house, and Feiyun had just returned from Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade was transferred to the security department, responsible for security work during the joint Chunin Exam, and Feiyun also agreed to temporarily take over the task of Konoha Hospital!

"Feiyun, how is the situation at the hospital?"

"Everything is fine, but when the Chunin Exam begins, it will be a test for Konoha Hospital. After all, all five major villages will participate this time, and I'm afraid the exam will be very intense!"

As the battle intensifies, the casualty rate will increase dramatically, and Konoha Hospital will be busy!

"Teacher Dihuangwan, you're back too!" Kushina walked in.

Minato and Kushina were recalled to the village. Minato was also in charge of security work, while Kushina, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was not assigned any tasks and was just on standby at home!

Feiyun works in Konoha Hospital, so Kushina stays at home with Mieko to take care of little Feiyun!

"Kushina, you have become much calmer after traveling outside!" Dihuangwan said.

"Teacher Dihuangwan, I'm grown up now!" Kushina rolled her eyes.

Dihuang Wan shook his head, "To me, you will always be a child!!"

Kushina was furious and quickly looked for Feiyun for support, "Master's wife, look! Humph!"

Feiyun smiled and said, "Dihuangwan-kun, Kushina has grown up, don't tease her anymore!"

Dihuang Wan made himself look ridiculous, and went to tease Little Yunzhi by himself, muttering: "Kushina has grown up, and I can't help teasing her anymore. Our Little Yunzhi is still more fun!"

After saying that, he put his finger to Xiao Yunzhi's mouth. Xiao Yunzhi instinctively sucked on the finger, but unfortunately nothing came out!

Kushina and Feiyun were speechless after seeing this!

In the middle of the night, Dihuangwan left home and went to Minato's house!

"Teacher, you're back!" Minato had just returned and was preparing to take a shower.

"Minato, this Joint Chunin Exam must be very stressful!"

Minato Namikaze is responsible for the security of the candidates during the joint Chunin Exam, preventing and stopping conflicts between candidates from all parties!

"Alas, when the people from the Hidden Rock Village arrived, they had a conflict with the people from other villages. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and no large-scale fight broke out, and no one was injured!"

"Oh? I'm afraid it was Oonoki's secret instruction. Interesting!"

"When Jiraiya-sensei called Kushina and I back, I had some objections, but after returning and seeing the situation the village was facing, I understood!"

"It's already pretty good. Konoha has the Sandaime, Shimura Danzo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo, and you, Kushina. Oh, and your master's wife can also be counted. There are a total of nine Kage-level masters! There are also many other elites. Nothing will happen! Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"Master's Wife? Is Master's Wife also a Kage-level expert? I have never seen Master's Wife take action!"

"Of course, your mistress is not only a Kage-level expert, but also the only Kage-level expert in illusion in the ninja world! And she has mastered S-level illusion!"

"S-level illusion!!! Teacher, I have never heard of an S-level illusion. The legendary Darkness Technique is only A-level, yet it is listed in the Book of Seals!"

"This S-rank illusion is the blood limit of the Kurama clan, the five senses are sealed! The Dark Walk Technique only seals the vision, but the Five Senses Sealing Technique can seal the five senses at will!"

"So that's how it is! No wonder it can be an S-level illusion! Sealing the five senses, just hearing the name tells you how terrifying it is!"

Namikaze Minato looked incredulous. He had previously only known that his master's wife was a dual-talented ninja in illusion and medical techniques, and was a very scarce talent in Konoha. He didn't expect that she was so well hidden!

Dihuangwan looked at his expression and said with a smile, "Boy, you underestimate your master's wife! She is the partner chosen by the teacher, she is very powerful! In addition, in Konoha, your master's wife's medical ninjutsu is second only to Tsunade-senpai, and in terms of surgery, she is not even inferior to Tsunade-senpai! The original Extension Ninjutsu Plan was led by your master's wife!"

"Death is enough!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Only the three of us know this information about your master's wife. You must keep it a secret! In the future, we will all help you on your way to becoming the Hokage!"

Yes, with the support of Dihuangwan, Feiyun, Kushina, and Jiraiya, plus the fact that he will become Kakashi Hatake's teacher in the future, it is equivalent to gaining the support of Sakumo Hatake. Including Minato himself, there are a total of six Kage-level lineups!

Even launching a coup seems a bit extravagant!
