Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Downward

Oonoki was floating at the front of the team, always with a faint smile on his face.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the yellow-haired boy beside him.

How can I not be happy?

It's a miracle that Deidara came back on his own initiative.

"Old man, why did you have to drag me here? What if I run into that guy again?"

Deidara felt helpless.

He regained consciousness shortly after escaping from the Rain Country, and Scorpion told him what happened during his coma.

Deidara was shocked to learn that the earth-shattering lightning strike was the work of Sasuke.

Knowing that even the leader was no match for him and worried about being hunted down by Sasuke, Deidara readily accepted Sasori's proposal.

They went back to the village separately to avoid the storm.

Now he is learning Dust Release from Ōnoki.

When he learned that Ōnoki was going to take him to Konoha, he strongly opposed it, after all, Sasuke was from Konoha.

Even if I want to settle the score with Sasuke, it shouldn't be now. At least wait until I have practiced for a while.

I have just started learning Dust Release.

"Why panic?"

Oonoki couldn't help but educate him.

"From your description, I can tell something is wrong."

"Uchiha Sasuke was clearly going to find Uchiha Itachi, but you listened to the leader and provoke him."

"It's your fault, but it's also my fault for not keeping you under control."

"Just follow my arrangements. This trip is to let you see the major Kages of the ninja world and the backbone of each village."

"You will be the successor to the Tsuchikage in the future. You can't be someone who doesn't even know who the other Kages are."

"This is a good opportunity for you to get familiar with it."

Oonoki said with a smile, his hands behind his back leisurely.

As the most promising genius in the Iwagakure Village, Deidara also possesses the qualifications to inherit the Dust Release.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is the next Tsuchikage.

In his heart, Ohnoki was quite grateful to Sasuke, because it was his appearance that made Deidara change his mind.

The Iwagakure people soon arrived outside the Konoha Village.

Namikaze Minato greeted them warmly.

After the Iwagakure team was settled, they prepared to rest.

Only then did Shigong Youyue reluctantly look away.

However, at this moment, another team arrived.

That is the delegation from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water.

Shigong Youyue spotted a figure in the team, and his eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of excitement.

There’s something even more interesting coming!

The one at the front of the team is even more of a heavyweight.

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi!

Shigong Youyue looked over there and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh my god, thunder is rolling!"

"So...big. No, so white!"

In contrast, he obviously prefers this large-scale...

under

Mei Terumi was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and she was having a pleasant chat with Minato Namikaze.

Suddenly, a pair of scorching eyes locked onto her.

That gaze was like a blazing flame, trying to see through everything about her.

The goal seems to be...

She lowered her eyes slightly, looked down, and suddenly realized.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes. Which little pervert is it?

Following the source of that strong feeling, she saw Shigong Youyue standing on the wall.

"Oh, he's a handsome boy." Mei Terumi's eyes lit up and she said with interest.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, then blew a kiss in the air in the direction of Shigong Youyue.

There was a soft popping sound.

On the other side, Shinomiya Yutsuki actually responded with a flying kiss with a smile on her face.

Bo~ sounded again.

What audacity.

"Interesting little guy." Mei Terumi was overjoyed.

In the past, she also loved teasing those shy little boys, but they usually lowered their heads and blushed, or just ran away.

How could anyone respond so fearlessly like this young man?

"Hokage, what is his name?" Without taking her eyes off Yuzuki, Mei Terumi asked Namikaze Minato with great interest.

Minato smiled and said, "His name is Shinomiya Yuzuki, and he is the most outstanding genius in our village."

Mei Terumi blinked, slightly surprised.

"The most outstanding genius?"

"To be praised so highly by the Hokage-sama, that child must be extraordinary, right?"

Who doesn't know about Minato Namikaze's reputation as a genius?

He was born into a common family, but was able to sweep across the ninja world and ascend to the throne of Hokage.

His talent and intelligence are undoubtedly among the best in the ninja world, and it is rare that even he praises him so much.

Konoha is truly a place of outstanding people and talented people.

"It's more than extraordinary..." Minato sighed with emotion.

This has gone beyond the scope of simply being described by the word "awesome".

Mei Terumi nodded in agreement. Among the people present,

Many people cast their eyes on her, but only Shinomiya Yutsuki gave her a unique feeling of being targeted.

"Then will he take part in the Chunin Exam?" Mei Terumi asked curiously.

"Yes, you will be able to see it with your own eyes then."

There was an inexplicable amusement in Minato's voice.

I hope the Mizukage won't be too scared by then.

"I'll wait and see~"

Mei Terumi nodded meaningfully.

The team from the Hidden Mist Village then left and headed for the camp assigned to them.

Shinomiya Yutsuki's gaze then shifted away from Terumi Mei and fell on a shy-looking boy next to her.

The young man had a pair of strange and huge blades on his back.

It was like two fish shaped like knives.

This is one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist Village - Hirame Azuchi.

And that young man was, of course, the Hantang boy, Chojuro.

Youyue rubbed his head.

He always felt that Chojuro's face would turn into that awkward dragon picture at any time.

Then he waved his hand and shouted: Get ready to fight back immediately!

"Okay, I'm hallucinating."

Youyue shook her head and laughed.

Soon after, other villages arrived one after another.

In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Raikage and Killer Bee arrived together.

The Abby duo, once famous in the ninja world, has reappeared in the arena.

Attracted the attention of many Konoha villagers.

After all, this was an opponent who had once fought to a draw with the Fourth Hokage.

They wanted to see whether the other party had three heads and six arms or just one head and two arms.

After the Hidden Cloud Village, it was the teams from other small villages in the Ninja World.

For example, Takigakure, Kusagakure, and Otogakure.

"He really came..."

Sasuke suddenly spoke up.

His eyes were fixed on the Kusagakure Village team below.

As if noticing Sasuke's gaze, a tall ninja among the Grass Ninja group looked up particularly sensitively.

When he saw Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Hiss...

He stuck out an unusually long tongue and licked the corner of his lips.

There is no need to think too much, this person must be Orochimaru.

Who has ever seen an ordinary person with such a long tongue, licking it self-indulgently from time to time?
