Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

♂nbsp; The time and place of the Chunin Exams were mentioned in Tsunade's letter.

Although it is still a few months away, it is naturally impossible to make temporary decisions on such an important matter as the Chunin Exam. The exam plan has been generally finalized, but detailed adjustments will be made based on the specific situation. As a disciple of the third generation, it is not difficult for Tsunade to learn about these situations. In the letter, Bai Mingyu saw the words "Death Forest".

"The location has not changed..."

only……

"The Kirigakure and Kumogakure villages... also need to take part in this Chunin exam?"

When he saw this line of annotations, Bai Mingyu was slightly stunned.

Quan next to him nodded and explained in due course:

"Well, that's what the letter said. According to Master Tsunade, the Third Generation sent invitations to several other ninja villages. Except for Iwagakure, the other villages did not explicitly reject it. Among them, Kirigakure even more They were the first to respond. It is said that they have implemented many new policies now. Perhaps they want to take this opportunity to perform well in front of the people of various countries and get rid of the name of 'Blood Fog'."

"I see."

Needless to say, the situation in Kirigakure Village.

Yanyin Village refused to participate, which was not surprising to Bai Mingyu.

Among the five major ninja villages, the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha is the most discordant. The overt and covert fighting between the two villages has continued from the early days of Konoha to this day. In the third ninja war, there was even a fierce battle. If it were not for the golden Shining came out of nowhere and defeated Iwagakure's conspiracy in the Battle of Kanna-kun Bridge. Konoha may have suffered a big loss at the hands of Iwagakure. Even so, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and frictions continued at the border junction for many years.

Moreover, even if Ohnoki wants to send people to participate, the current Iwagakure Village may not have enough strength. Ohnoki himself was seriously injured and was still recovering. It was said that the most elite demolition force was ambushed by unknown persons not long ago, and almost all of them were wiped out. In this case, if Bai Mingyu were to serve as the Third Tsuchikage, he would act as cautiously as possible to avoid being taken advantage of.

On the contrary, the situation in Yunyin Village is somewhat intriguing.

The Hinata incident made the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure somewhat delicate. Although the two sides still signed an armistice agreement according to the original plan, there was almost no cooperation in the following years. They only restrained their respective armies and maintained their appearance. . After Konoha and Kirigakure established diplomatic relations, Kumogakure put aside their past grievances and quickly formed an alliance with Iwagakure, which seemed to share the same hatred.

In this way, Kumogakure's intention to participate in this Chunin Exam is worth pondering.

"By the way...isn't there an Oto Ninja Village?"

In the original Chuunin Examination, the Sound Ninja Village was in the limelight, making it into the top ten despite the pressure of Konoha and Sunagakure Villages. Unfortunately, although the guy named Toss was barely passable in strength, his brain was not very good. He actually openly provoked Gaara before the game started, and ended up with his head missing... But this time, Bai Mingyu didn't see the name of the Sound Ninja Village on the scroll.

Maybe Tsunade didn't mention it...

After all, Orochimaru is the leader of the Sound Ninja Village. Even Tsunade, who is also a Sannin, does not know about it. In the latter's eyes, the Sound Ninja is just a small village worth mentioning.

"By the way..."

Bai Mingyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and thought for a moment. During this process, Quan stood up and poured two cups of tea, then sat silently aside. After a while, Bai Mingyu raised his head again and asked: "Is there any news from Jiraiya?"

Quan shook his head.

"I haven't seen Jiraiya-sama's liaison frog come here, but I went out with Sister Yekura on several missions during this period, and Kimimaro was also taken with me. I was away from the base for about a month. Maybe there was a romantic relationship. I sent the report, but because no one was here, I missed it. What's wrong, Mr. Bai Yu, is everything going to be okay?"

"fine."

Bai Mingyu smiled. On the way back from Loulan Kingdom, he had already checked the life card in his hand. The one representing Jiraiya was not damaged, which means that the latter should still be in a safe and sound state. However, the country of wind is vast, and even if Bai Mingyu's heart network is further strengthened by the dragon vein chakra, it will not be damaged. It was impossible to find out where Jiraiya was at once.

"Maybe it's time to take a trip to Sunagakure Village."

With Jiraiya's ability to investigate intelligence, these three months should be enough to find out something. Some information is better communicated face to face.

"You want to go out, can I help?" Quan looked over with a pair of eyes, clear.

"no need."

Bai Mingyu thought for a while and said: "In the next period of time, the organization will not make any big moves... Even if we want to capture the tailed beast, we don't need to take action."

——According to Pain's previous classification results, the tailed beasts Bai Mingyu and Ye Cang are responsible for are one-tailed and nine-tailed, but the former is the secret weapon of Sunagakure Village, while the latter is the most difficult to obtain among the nine tailed beast jinchūriki. No matter how courageous Obito is, he cannot attack these two Jinchuriki in just a few months.

"So during the next period of time, you and Kimimaro can practice with peace of mind. If necessary, you can go to Shigu Forest. In addition, I am also planning to go to Jilei Mountain again."

I have an idea that I had a long time ago... maybe I can try it now.

The next day, Bai Mingyu left a clone in the stronghold, and then set off for Sand Hidden Village.

Now he shouldn't need to rely on ice floes to fly.

Although he is still unable to fully control the Dragon Vein, he can use its power to float in the air and fly and float in the air in a way similar to the Six Paths Madara and the Otsutsuki clan. Bai Mingyu has mastered it, and the flying speed is far beyond what it used to be. , in less than half a day, it had already passed through thousands of miles of sky and appeared in the territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

Even so, it is not easy to find Jiraiya's place in such a large country.

In order to maintain concealment, Jiraiya never revealed his whereabouts to the outside world.

It is even more impossible to use the black market or other similar intelligence agencies to find his whereabouts, because on the surface, "Jiraiya", the sage of Mt. Myoboku, is already dead.

and so……

"Immortal magic..."

Bai Mingyu clasped his hands together.

"The art of spiritual transformation!"

The blue-purple pupil pattern reappeared. Bai Mingyu took a deep breath and adjusted his posture slightly to adapt to the natural energy rushing in from all over the world. He changed his fingers several times and formed several complex handprints. .

It was as if something had detached itself from the body and was floating a few meters above his head.

The next moment, the entire world lost its color and turned into a monotonous color divided into black and white.
