Konoha's Zhige

"That's how things are, Fourth and Third Generations."

In the Hokage's office, Kosuke reported on the encounter with Gaara and the four others at the border of the Land of Fire and the subsequent conflicts.

"I know, thank you for your hard work," Namikaze Minato was always able to maintain a warm side.

The chunin exam was approaching. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who came to help Namikaze Minato handle some government affairs, pointed at Zhige and asked: "Fousuke, why are you and Zhige together? The two of you should be unrelated."

Perhaps it was his first time teaching ninjutsu to the younger generation. Kosuke rubbed the back of his head rather embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Danzo-sama, please respect me and ask me to demonstrate swordsmanship to the younger generation of ninjas."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite surprised. As a partner for many years, he knew Danzo very well. Danzo, who was prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, took the initiative to help the Uchiha juniors, which was not in line with his character. There is also what is there about Zhige that Danzo values.

Namikaze Minato was more optimistic than Sarutobi Hiruzen. Maybe Danzo wanted to find a successor, or maybe he took the initiative to show his kindness to the Uchiha clan and wanted to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village.

"Listen to Kushina, you are ready to take the Chunin Exam this time, come on!" Namikaze Minato encouraged.

"Yes," Zhi Ge nodded respectfully.

After Kosuke and Zhige retreated, Hiruzen Sarutobi blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Minato, what do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Namikaze Minato replied: "Perhaps as Suna Ninja's Jonin Maki said, the Chuunin Exam is about to take place and there is no reason for war in Sunagakure Village."

"You are right," Hiruzen Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring and continued: "This time the chunin are starting to include Sunagakure Village, Amegakure Village, Kusanagi Ninja Village, Taki Ninja Village, the newly promoted Sound Ninja Village, and It’s not the Kumogakure Village that has alliance relations.”

Regarding the sudden suggestion from Kumogakure that they wanted to participate in the Chunin Examination held in Konoha, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it and agreed. They generally would not refuse anything that could promote peace.

Namikaze Minato had fought against the brothers Ai and Kirabi during the Third War. Just as Namikaze Minato said, if they meet again, they will be the leaders of their respective villages.

"Sandaime-sama, please rest assured. If Kumogakure wants to take the opportunity to launch a conspiracy, Kushina and I will stop it all." In terms of combination, Namikaze Minato is not afraid of them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought: Raikage and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki vs. Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Outside the Hokage Hall, Gu Jie and Zhi Ge also separated.

Zhi Ge: "Mr. Gu Jie, I'm going to join the team's mission."

Gu Jie: "I can't compare to the vitality of young people. It's time for me to rest."

at dusk.

"It's finally completed. Kushina-sensei, can you please not take on tasks like this in the future?" Izumi Nara sat slumped on the ground, next to a basketful of garbage picked up from the river.

Chika: ""

Zhi Ge: ""

Kushina lectured: "You talk too much, you should learn from Qianjia and Zhige. I never heard them complain from the beginning to the end."

Nara Izumi held her chin and thought: Forget it Chika, a typical good student who does what he says, but there is something wrong with Zhige today, he is too quiet!

"Teacher," Chika suddenly came to Kushina and bowed and said, "Please allow me to have a fight with Uchiha Zhige."

Hey, I just praised you for being good, but it turned out that you were holding back your ultimate move. After a day of tasks, I am almost exhausted. She is still so bright and energetic, which is completely incomparable. Nara Quanshui wanted to see Zhige's reaction: Huh? It's too calm. Normally it's not the time to say no.

Kushina understands Chika's thoughts. She wants to prove that she is better than Zhi Ge, but Kushina's plan is to let them decide the winner in the Chunin Exam.

"What's the reason?" Kushina asked.

Qianjia walked up to Zhige and raised her head to meet his eyes: "I heard from Neji that you found him and defeated him."

Before Zhi Ge could say anything, he was staggered by Kushina, "Okay, you kid, how could you kill the number one without saying a word?"

It seems that this kid has finally figured it out. Kushina is very angry at Zhige who has always been hiding his clumsiness. Metkai is her junior, and his students overpower her students, which makes her very embarrassed, especially in front of Kakashi.

Overjoyed, Kushina smiled and said, "I agree."

Zhige looked at Hinata Chika, who had already put up a soft fist formation in front of him, with a headache: "Hey, hey, don't you even ask me for my opinion? You have no human rights!"

"That's a lot of nonsense." Qianjia's eye veins bulged and she opened her eyes to look at Zhi Ge's veins and tap acupuncture points.

Facing Qianjia's offensive, Zhige retreated continuously and had no chance to fight back. He was about to fall off the cliff from the river.

Nara Izumi, who was eating melons, couldn't help but said: "Hey, hey, this is too pitiful. Teacher, won't you stop it?"

"That's too much," Kushina gritted her teeth.

"Yes, that's it." Before Nara Izumi could finish speaking, he was stunned by Kushina's next sentence.

"Chika, don't hold back," Kushina shouted: Facing an opponent who seriously challenges you, to be so perfunctory is too disrespectful to the opponent.

Seeing Zhige who didn't want to fight at all, Qianjia became angry, 'Rou Fist Technique - Bagua Kongzhang! ’

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Zhi Ge turned into smoke and disappeared.

"Shadow Clone" Hinata Chika stood there blankly.

Nara Quan Shui suddenly realized: "No wonder Zhi Ge has no power to fight back. Even if Qian Jia doesn't take action, this shadow clone can hardly hold on anymore!"

Suddenly, Nara Spring felt a creepy chakra coming from the side.

Kushina clenched her fists, eyes blazing: "How dare you send a shadow clone to deal with me, a Jonin, very well, Uchiha Zhige, I think you must be ready to wake up.

In the woods outside Konoha Village, Zhige, who was sitting on the tallest tree practicing, couldn't help but sneeze and said with a wry smile: "The shadow clone was blown up by Qianjia. It seems that defeating Ningji is a huge blow to the self-esteem." Qianjia was very excited.

After a while, Kushina, who calmed down a little, discovered the problem: According to her understanding of Zhige, he couldn't do such a high-profile thing and sent a shadow to handle the task; could it be that this kid didn't dare to face me? No, there is no difference in the thoughts of the shadow clone and the main body. The shadow clone's attitude towards himself is no different from before.

Then there is only one possibility. The Chunin Exam is coming soon and he feels the pressure. Maybe he is training elsewhere now.

Kushina's guess was good, but it was not because of the chunin exam, but because of the crisis of the Uchiha genocide that Zhige felt that he could not continue like this. He had no time to waste on low-level tasks.

Although I feel Danzo's good intentions, who knows if the old guy has a conspiracy in his heart. Only strength can hold his own destiny in his own hands.
