Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Really... there is no way!"

Hearing the affirmation in the shadow behind him, the Third Hokage could only sigh helplessly, it was really helpless.

If it was possible, he actually didn't want to hold this Chunin exam. According to the original plan, it would take at least one or two years before Konoha would be able to hold this Chunin exam.

It's just that some secret intelligence, especially the dark side of the ninja world and the activity of spying on some Konoha's intelligence, including some secret operations in Yunyin Village, forced him to hold this Zhongnin exam.

After all, the other four major ninja villages have already begun to become active. Compared with Konoha, except for Sand Yin, Yanyin and Yunyin have already regained their vitality one step ahead. At present, the experience accumulated by the rising stars of the two villages has Quite impressive, especially, some of the cutting-edge combat power of Yunyin Village was actually well preserved after the third Ninja World War. Although three generations of Raikage died and many new and excellent ninjas were lost, , Among the young and middle-aged generation, the proportion of cutting-edge combat power is still very high. Among the newcomers, there are also many newcomers who are already well-known in missions. It can be said that both old and newcomers have the potential to surpass Konoha.

If it weren't for the presence of Uchiha Nobuhiko, the second Uchiha Madara, and Chiba's remaining prestige back then, I am afraid that Yunyin would have already shot Konoha openly or secretly.

Now, even if there is no move, the policy of the Nation of Thunder towards the Nation of Fire is slowly starting to become tougher, especially the agreement on trade and ninja mission systems. This year's new agreement will even cancel all concessions. It can be said that Thunder Country and Yunyin have already felt the situation of Fire Country and Konoha.

At the same time, with the signing of the new treaty agreement of the Land of Thunder, Yanyin Village and Wuyin Village also canceled considerable concessions. It is estimated that Yunyin Village has already spread some news.

Now, the new agreement between the two countries is still being negotiated, but because of the precedent of the Kingdom of Thunder, it can be said that it is difficult to negotiate.

Moreover, because of this incident, the activities of the enemy villages around Konoha also increased explosively. It can be said that it is quite dangerous.

Even Wuyin Village began to take active actions against Konoha to varying degrees.

The gunpowder smell of war has actually spread.

In the end, in order to curb this momentum, the Third Hokage had to take advantage of the fact that other ninja villages had not fully figured out the details of Konoha, and carried out the Chunin Exam, in order to pass the Chunin Exam and gain some experience in restoring vitality .

Relatively speaking, as long as it is successfully held, for Konoha, the Chunin Exam will have enough benefits.

First of all, it is natural to be able to demonstrate the strength of Konoha, and tell the entire ninja world that Konoha is not a persimmon that anyone can pinch, and countries will be more or less afraid again.

Especially Yunyin Village, knowing that Qianye is not dead, even if they have some way to deal with Qianye, I'm afraid they don't want to face a powerful Konoha and Qianye.

Most of the time, it was just a misfortune that caused other ninja villages to suffer from this misfortune.

And the other ninja villages are not fools. After seeing that Konoha is still strong, I am afraid that they will not be fooled by Yunyin, and the reputation of Yunyin village among other ninja villages will definitely decline. .

At that time, it will not be so easy for Yunyin to appeal against Konoha.

And as long as there is a gap in the trust of other ninja villages, they can contain each other, and the pressure on the village will be reduced.

At that time, if the smell of gunpowder does not dissipate, it will fade away.

Secondly, for this Zhongnin exam, the village must be operating at a high load. Each ninja will definitely be assigned to a different position and gain a variety of experiences. For the growth of newcomers, this pressure and experience will be It will be the best nourishment.

In other words, this can promote the rapid growth of newcomers. If it goes well, it will increase a lot of backbone, which is also a way to restore vitality.

Presumably, when the time comes, Konoha will not only be able to shock the surroundings, but also harvest a group of hardcore ninjas with considerable experience to consolidate their strength.

The third point is, the wooing of the surrounding Xiaonin villages. Sometimes, the aid of materials cannot make the Xiaonin villages cooperate obediently, but if coupled with strong force and deterrence, these Xiaonin villages will maintain A certain amount of loyalty.

At the moment when the importance of the small ninja villages is rising, the so-called people go to high places. These small ninja villages can accept funding and investment from many big ninja villages, but they will only obey the orders of one big ninja village.

That is, the strongest man in Da Ninja Village.

Even if you don't obey 100%, you will still maintain a certain willingness to live in peace. At that time, whether it is to instigate rebellion or directly absorb it, with this willingness, Konoha will be impeccable in Xiaonin Village.

After all, the other big ninja villages are not stupid. After Konoha shows the strength of the old and strongest, their own trust in the little ninja village will also decline.

At that time, it will not make too much use of the power of Xiaonin Village, who may rebel at any time.

It can be said that invisibly, Konoha has an absolute advantage in Xiaoren Village. In a sense, it directly reduces the threat of Xiaoren Village. Relatively speaking, the importance of Xiaoren Village will also increase. decline.

Therefore, even if it is reluctant, the Three Generations of Hokage has to be held.

And, host it now.

Moreover, for the holding of the Zhongnin Exam this time, it is rare for him to get the strong support of Chiba, who is not known where, only he took the initiative to contact him, and the village will never find him.

Since Chiba has chosen to support it, the Third Hokage believes that the feasibility of this Chunin Exam is absolutely 100%.

It's just that, in the absence of Chiba, can it be done perfectly.

And he, after all, felt that he was old at this time, and sometimes, he was really powerless.

Especially, the appearance of Orochimaru now made him feel exhausted.

It is also because of this that he misses the children of that generation, the children of the same generation as Chiba.

Especially the three children that Jiu Xinnai taught.

Even, like Shiga Taketake, who has been confirmed as a spy of the enemy village, the Third Hokage misses him very much at this time.

At the same time, the faces of Shiga Taketake's teammates and teachers also hovered in the mind of this old and tired old man.

if……

It would be great to be able to protect them!

How nice it would be!

In the end, all the thoughts converged into this deep regret and even regretful thought.

well……

It seems that I am really old. Recently, I keep thinking about the past!

However, no matter how regretful, no matter how regretful it is, it is impossible to restore those pasts. At this time, the Third Hokage finally showed a slightly self-deprecating smile, and finally erased these regrets and regrets.

After all, the moment is the most important thing!

"Then, let's proceed to the next competition!"

And at this time, the sound of the moonlight blast sounded again.

The crying appearance of the little girl over there really attracted everyone.

However, as a referee, he was extremely conscientious.
