chapter 94

The result of the Chūnin exam battle, in fact, does not guarantee whether you will become a Chūnin.

For example, in the original work, although Nara Shikamaru lost to Temari early on.

But in the end, he was the only one who became Chūnin.

Because of combat strength, it can only be regarded as a small part of the inspection of Chūnin.

More importantly, it is actually leadership.

After all, Chūnin is going to lead the team and is responsible for the life of the whole team.

This time is the same.

Although there are many ninjas who have entered the top 20 and top 10, who can become a Chūnin in the end still depends on the overall quality, especially the inspection of leadership ability.

And Five Kages, together with the elite ninjas from all the major countries, gathered together to discuss this matter.

After a whole day of discussions, the list for promotion to Chun-nin was finally determined.

Among them, Kirigakure, a total of five people were promoted to Chūnin.

They are, Kaguya Kimimaro, Uchiha Sasuke, Yuki Haku, Hōzuki Suigetsu, Chojuro.

In Konoha Village, four people were promoted to Chūnin.

They are Hyuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, Sai, Aburame Shino.

Iwagakure two, terracotta, Karatachi.

Cloud Shinobi Village one, Atsui.

One Sunagakure, but not Gaara, but Temari.

Gaara is because of special circumstances, after all, as One Tail Jinchūriki, and extremely unstable.

Although the strength is superior, but does not have the leadership experience.

And Rasa also strongly opposed Gaara becoming a Chūnin.

Kuzan smiled, he is still such a cheating son...

This time the All Ninja World Chūnin exam has basically come to an end.

There were more than 300 contestants, and finally thirteen Genin were successfully promoted to Chūnin.

It can be seen that among the top ten, all except Gaara have successfully advanced.

In addition to the top ten, Chojuro, Nara Shikamaru, Akatsuki, Temari and others also successfully advanced.

Among them, Kuzan directly promoted Kaguya Kimimaro to Jōnin.

Jōnin is different from Chūnin in that they don't need to pass the assessment. Instead, the senior management of each ninja village judges whether they can be promoted based on the ninja's performance, tasks, strength, credits, etc. on weekdays.

There is no doubt about Kaguya Kimimaro's strength, in fact, he has already reached the level of Jōnin.

And he also made a lot of credit for Kirigakure.

In particular, he is now also the second in command of the scientific research department, following Pakura to conduct ninjutsu theory and scientific research.

It can be said that this Jōnin deserves its name.

After the announcement of Chūnin's final assessment list.

Let those ninjas who failed to advance to Chunin envy those who succeeded.

However, it can also be seen from the results.

Kirigakure is still far ahead.

Not only are there five Chūnins, but one of them even leapfrogged to become a Jōnin!

One can imagine how powerful Kirigakure is.

Followed by Konoha Village, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still four ninjas advancing.

This is actually thanks to the creation of Konoha Village by Senju Hashirama.

Gathered many powerful families in the ninja world.

For example, Hyuga Neji, Aburame Shino, and Nara Shikamaru are all descendants of these big families.

There is also only Sai, a fighting machine specially trained by the root Shimura Danzō.

In addition, Iwagakure also has terracotta and Karatachi to advance.

Sunagakure and Cloud Shinobi Village, on the contrary, have only one person.

The ninja villages in other small countries were all wiped out by the army, and no ninja was successfully promoted.

After the results were announced, the major powers did not leave immediately.

Still stayed in Konoha Village for a while.

At this moment, in a hidden corner in Konoha Village.

Yakushi Kabuto said respectfully: "Master Orochimaru, the final result has come out."

"The winner of the decisive battle, named Kimimaro, is a descendant of Kaguya Clan."

"In addition, Gaara, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Aburame Shino and others also performed very eye-catching."

"I don't know Master Orochimaru, is there any suitable candidate?"

Orochimaru is still the female ninja of Kusanagi Village at this moment.

He smiled, and his smile looked a little weird and hideous.

"Yes, and there are two."

"Kaguya Kimimaro, and Uchiha Sasuke."

"Any one of these two people has enough qualifications to become my new container.

"As for which one is better, more understanding and experiments are needed."

Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Indeed, these two people are true geniuses, and one is from the Kaguya family with Dead Bone Pulse, and the other is from the Uchiha family with Sharingan."

"It is indeed the most suitable candidate for the container, but, Mr. Orochimaru, these two people are ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

Orochimaru glanced at him: "So?"

Yakushi Kabuto said: "The current Kirigakure is not what it used to be, and it is thriving under the leadership of the new Mizukage Kuzan, even reaching the heyday in Kirigakure's history.

"It can be said that it is the history that is the most difficult to provoke among the five major countries."

"What's more, Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke must be the ninjas that Mizukage strictly guards and takes care of first. It's not so easy to take them away."

Orochimaru laughed: "Mizukage Kuzan?"

"I do have a little interest in him, too."

Yakushi Kabuto's face changed: "Master Orochimaru means..."

Orochimaru said: "Don't worry, I won't confront him head-on."

"However, he's been messing with us all the time."

"Don't forget, my most powerful Summoning Beast Manda was taken away by this Mizukage-sama."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded.

This is indeed true.

Also, it happened when Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki organization.

That time, Orochimaru clashed with Kakuzu, a member of Akatsuki.

A fight ensued, and Orochimaru originally wanted to Summon snakes to deal with Kakuzu's nature masked monsters.

But unexpectedly, Manda's Summoning contract has been canceled.

This made the scene very awkward for a while.

Although Orochimaru still managed to stabilize the battle situation, he was also very angry afterwards.

Immediately afterwards, an investigation was launched, only to be shocked to find that the entire Ryūchi Cave, including the White Snake Sage, had been subdued by Mizukage Kuzan!

A small Manda is naturally no problem!

This left Orochimaru shocked and terrified.

To his shock, Kuzan was able to find the location of Ryūchi Cave.

What is frightening is that even monsters like the White Snake Sage were completely subdued by Kuzan!

What kind of strength is this?!

So now, he also understands Yakushi Kabuto's concerns, and it is indeed unwise to confront Kuzan head-on.

But that doesn't mean Orochimaru is giving up.

at this time.

Suddenly, two figures approached slowly towards this side.

Yakushi Kabuto's expression changed.

He had seen one of these men, none other than one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, as famous as Orochimaru!

Yakushi Kabuto immediately wanted to hide, but then realized it was too late.

Now that Jiraiya had found herself, there was no point in hiding.

Next to Jiraiya, is Nine Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha Village.

Jiraiya looked in Orochimaru's direction.

"Orochimaru, long time no see..."

Yakushi Kabuto was even more surprised. Orochimaru's face-removing Technique is very powerful. It directly uses other people's faces for his own use. It is not comparable to the ordinary Transformation Technique.

It can be said that it is almost flawless and impeccable.

However, Jiraiya pointed it out.

Orochimaru didn't look surprised.

"Jiraiya, you really recognized me."

Jiraiya smiled: "I smell the smell of snakes, don't forget, we used to be comrades who fought side by side."

Orochimaru said: "Indeed, it's nostalgic. It would be even better if Tsunade was there."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "It's fine to just say nice words, Orochimaru, what's your plan for appearing in Konoha Village now?"

"After being kicked out of the village by Mr. Sarutobi, I know you have always been dissatisfied. Do you want to harm Konoha Village?!"

The elder brother smiled: "You are wrong, go straight to the West."

"On the contrary, it's better to say, I want to help you."

"Help us? Konoha Village? That's not like something you'd say."

Jiraiya said: "I know that you broke away from the Akatsuki organization, established your own company, and created the Sound Village. This time, you also let the ninjas from the Sound Village take the Chūnin exam.

"However, for the sake of your lack of action, I didn't stand up and expose you."

"Now you say you want to help Konoha Village? Better tell other people this kind of nonsense!"

Orochimaru smiled: "Indeed, I don't like Mr. Sarutobi or Konoha Village.

"But now I have more important things to do."

"What's up?"

"I want to get two guys, Kaguya Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke."

Hearing Uchiha Sasuke's name, Uzumaki Naruto next to Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat.

"Uchiha Sasuke?!"

Orochimaru glanced at him: "Konoha's Nine Tails Jinchūriki?"

"Hey, it seems that you are also very impressed with Uchiha Sasuke."

Uzumaki Naruto said: "I made an appointment with Pervy Sage and Mizukage-sama. One year later, I will fight Uchiha Sasuke!"

Orochimaru laughed, "Really? What a good bet."

"It's none of my business, though."

Jiraiya said: "What do you want those two people to do? Those are the ninjas of Kirigakure, and, this time the Chūnin exam shines, the two shining ninjas will definitely not let up.

Orochimaru said: "That's why I'm working with Konoha Village."

"Cooperation? You mean, you want to use the power of Konoha Village to deal with Kirigakure, and then grab those two people?!"

"As expected of Jiraiya, I guessed right."

"Kirigakure and Konoha Village are already enemies, and sooner or later the war will break out. At that time, I can provide my strength and help Konoha Village deal with Kirigakure. The reward is those two children."

"Well, Jiraiya, is this a good deal?"

Jiraiya snorted coldly: "Indeed, for the current Konoha Village, there is a great need for a stronger Person.

"However, first of all, I am not in favor of going to war with Kirigakure, and secondly, you are a rebel from Konoha Village, I can't trust you, and lastly, I am also very suspicious of your purpose for wanting those two children, it will never be a good thing ."

Orochimaru laughs: First of all, going to war with Mist Shinobi is not a matter of approval, but destined to erupt. "

"Secondly, I am indeed a traitor, but now I am a person with the same interests and standing on the same standpoint. In this ninja world, there has never been an eternal enemy, only eternal interests.

*****

"Finally, the reason I want those two children has nothing to do with you."

Jiraiya said: "But..."

At once

at this moment.

Suddenly a voice came.

"Orochimaru, you finally made sense this time."

Yakushi Kabuto was taken aback again, looked back suddenly, and saw the figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Third Hokage in Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Both Jiraiya and Orochimaru also looked at him.

"Oh, it's Sarutobi-sensei, it's been a long time.

"It's really a class reunion today, everyone is here except Tsunade..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was supposed to be spying on Uzumaki Naruto.

He has been watching him with the telescope Technique at any time, and it is the same today, but he accidentally found Orochimaru's traces and heard the conversation between him and Jiraiya.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru's power is indeed needed at this time.

So he stood up.

Uzumaki Naruto said: "Master Third Hokage?!"

Jiraiya also said: "Mr. Sarutobi, don't you really believe this guy's nonsense?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Jiraiya, you should understand the current situation in Konoha Village."

"After the Nine Tails Rebellion and the Uchiha genocide, Konoha Village's strength has fallen to the bottom.

"In addition to that humiliating Five Kages Tournament, Konoha Village paid a heavy price, and the black hands behind all this are Kirigakure and that Mizukage-sama!"

"This hatred, Konoha Village must avenge it!"

"What's more, Konoha Village and Sunagakure are allies, and Kirigakure and Iwagakure are allies. There have been conflicts and conflicts between them, and this battle is also a matter of time."

Jiraiya said: "But, do you really believe in Orochimaru?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Orochimaru is certainly not trustworthy, but what he said is also reasonable. Now we have the same position and the same enemy, so we can naturally cooperate temporarily.

"After defeating Kirigakure, of course we can solve his problem again.

Orochimaru said with a smile: "As expected of Mr. Sarutobi, he really can figure it out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "If Tsunade can be brought back again, then our Konoha Village will no longer be afraid of any big country.

"When the time comes when your legendary Sannin reunite, plus Konoha Village's original background, how can you still be bullied by other ninja villages?!"

Jiraiya sighed: "Tsunade, I'm also looking for her, but it seems that she is deliberately avoiding Konoha Village.

The three masters and apprentices quickly acquiesced in this partnership.

Although Jiraiya has a lot of doubts in his heart, this is the decision of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen after all, and deep down in his heart, why doesn't he hope that Orochimaru will change his ways and get back together with Konoha?

A total of advance and retreat.

But at this moment.

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly spoke.

"Well, after Konoha Village wins, what will this guy do after he gets Uchiha Sasuke?".
