Konoha: Make the Uchiha Great Again

Chapter 256 Feast
The summer breeze is intoxicating, and cicadas are clinging to the treetops, chirping tirelessly, adding a touch of heat to the already scorching weather.

In a few days it will be July, the hottest month of the year. Konoha Village is still prosperous and there is no apparent change from previous years.

But only they themselves know how many plans and changes Konoha has made behind the scenes.

"It's about to start."

Sitting in the security department, Yuhara looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Strictly speaking, he is still somewhat nervous now.

After all, based on Konoha's current strength and capabilities, the Chunin Exam in the original work is unlikely to happen no matter how you look at it.

But he was the one who single-handedly controlled all of this. Although his starting point was good, no one knew how this matter would develop in the end.

Fortunately, he has received enough support, and all departments and units are conducting intensive drills.

Yuhara and his team have determined various routes and various preventive measures, but it still depends on people to make it all happen.

If there is no one to carry out all this, no matter how clever their arrangements are, it will be useless and will still collapse when the time comes. There is no doubt about that.

Fortunately, the bulk of this operation actually lies with the Guard Department, especially the Guard Governor and the Security Governor. These two departments have the heaviest responsibilities.

Although everything Yuyuan did was somewhat detrimental to his own feelings, even if it was detrimental to himself, he could accept it as the power to change everything was in his hands.

But he heard that all departments of the Guard Ministry have been suffering in the past few months, and the amount of training for both the Guard Chief and the Security Chief has far exceeded before.

The guards in various places and streets were constantly practicing how to evacuate the public quickly. This kind of thing was in their training manual, but they had basically never done it before.

Now they are suddenly asked to start practicing, which naturally makes them miserable.

But fortunately, no one complained about these things. After all, the Security Department gave them too much.

From the day when the high-intensity drills were announced, Uchiha Fugaku directly announced that the team with the best drills would receive huge extra points in the year-end assessment.

And during the training period, everyone's salary can be increased, and at least a new ninjutsu can be issued and learned through the Guard Department.

Of course, this is just the bottom line. Individuals and teams that perform well can get more, and may even have dedicated people to assist them in their practice later on.

There are actually not many things that ninjas can pursue, and money is definitely one of them, because money can replenish their various supplies and allow their families to live better.

Ninjutsu is also a thing. Improving strength is always a ninja's constant pursuit, especially in Konoha after the reform. The stronger you are, the better your treatment will be.

Under such stimulation, all the guards were excited. No matter what level of ninja they were, they were all full of energy.

Even though they are extremely tired, they never complain.

They themselves knew very well that it would be difficult to find good jobs like those in the Guard Department in Konoha, or even in the Ninja World.

The Guard Governor is so energetic, and the Anbu Governor is no exception.

And because of the special nature of the Security Governor and the fact that they have to work with the Anbu, they completely adopt the team confrontation mode for the drill.

During every confrontation drill, they will be divided into two parts, one responsible for defense and the other for offense.

Their team formation is also randomly shuffled, allowing people from both sides to mix together and form teams based on the battle situation, and then fight against the other side.

The intensity of this confrontation is really high, and it is completely based on actual combat - in order to avoid casualties, Shisui also specially asked Tsunade to transfer a lot of medical ninjas over.

After all, it is really easy for something to go wrong during actual combat confrontation drills. These people in charge of the Anbu and other Anbu members are all important combat forces, and he doesn't want any problems to occur.

Moreover, the benefits that Shisui gave them were very high. These people who retired from the Anbu could actually become normal ninjas and their income was not low.

In fact, in addition to orphans, there are also various family ninjas in the Anbu, so Shisui prescribes the right medicine.

He would give these people the honors they desired, honors that their families would never refuse and that they personally would also like very much.

In addition, Shisui will also take special care of the lives of those members who are orphans.

Regardless of whether they are married or not, they will be allocated housing. If they are married and have children, Shisui will provide more care.

All in all, these two aspects of strength are being trained wholeheartedly and without complaint, and everything seems to be going very well so far.

But what the final effect will be depends on the final performance.

"Are you nervous?"

Suddenly, a slightly lazy voice sounded behind Yuhara, and Yuhara knew who it was without even turning around.

"Yeah, I'm a little nervous. I think your uncle has told you as well."

Yuhara nodded slightly, then looked up at Kotonoha and smiled.

“Anyone would be a little nervous about this kind of thing, and sometimes I wondered if I was doing the right thing.

But considering the future, considering the ninja world, and even considering the situation in our Konoha, I feel that I did the right thing.

All I can say is that people will constantly worry about gains and losses, especially before they get concrete results. "

"I can't judge whether your ideas and actions are right or wrong, but I know that everyone supports you, which means they trust you."

Kotonoha put down the documents in her hand, then walked behind Yuhara and skillfully raised her hand to rub Yuhara's temple.

“It’s absolutely OK to trust that you can do it, and it’s absolutely OK to trust your judgement, so show that confidence no matter what.

In some senses, especially when it comes to fighting, you are the symbol of everyone's spirit, and you will feel embarrassed and afraid.

Then you can imagine what the others will do.”

Yuhara closed his eyes and enjoyed it all. Kotonoha had helped him do this many times over the past three years, and the tacit understanding between them was getting stronger and stronger.

"I understand. Don't worry. You're probably the only one who sees me like this."

Yuhara chuckled, then shook his head with a sigh.

"What a shame. I thought things wouldn't change so quickly. I was planning to visit your house."

"I heard from my uncle that you might come, but there has been no movement for so long."

Kotonoha seemed to know this as well, but she seemed a little curious.

"Come to think of it, why are you here at my house? You should just come here to visit. Why do you have to make it so formal, Uncle Shikaku?"

"Because the person I visited was not him, but your father."

Yuhara raised his head and teased, and Yanye's hand suddenly froze. Yuhara reached out and grabbed her hand directly, feeling the warmth in his hand and asked with a smile.

"So, as smart as you are, what do you think is the purpose of my formal visit to your home, especially to your father?"

Outside Konoha Village, there is a high ground overlooking the surrounding area, from where you can see most of the scenery of Konoha.

Two figures stood on a high place, looking down at Konoha Village and the ninjas who kept coming in and out of the village.

Places like this were usually guarded by Konoha's strongholds, but at this moment, several of Konoha's elite Chunins were fast asleep, without exception.

Nirvana Monastery, a magic that can silently put people into a deep sleep.

"Lord Orochimaru, the plan has been fully arranged, but the situation in Konoha is not so good."

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses and stared at the entrance of Konoha.

"Lord Yuhara has also made a lot of arrangements, and his guard commanders are constantly practicing evacuation and retreat.

The security chief is missing, and he is probably making some special arrangements. If the Sand Village and Lord Orochimaru really take action, I’m afraid.”

To be honest, Kabuto has always suspected that Yuhara called Orochimaru not only to attack the Sand Village, but also to attack Orochimaru and his gang.

The Konoha Village is really dangerous now. Not only is there a terrifying existence like Uchiha Habara, but the Fifth Hokage is also Jiraiya, who is as famous as Orochimaru.

In addition, with the return of Tsunade, the Uchiha clan has been integrated and upgraded, and the Hyuga clan has resolved the conflict between the main family and the branch family, and is now full of experts.

In addition, Konoha masters such as Ino-Shika-Chou, Inuzuka and Aburame are all there. The lineup is so strong that it is terrifying. No matter how you look at it, it would be a waste of time to fight against Konoha in the current state.

He really didn't understand why Orochimaru agreed, and he didn't understand whether the Sand Village was crazy to dare to do such a thing.

Hearing what Kabuto said, Orochimaru chuckled twice.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't think I would win in the first place. Although I made all the preparations, as you said, Konoha has never been easy to deal with.

But I can tell you that how you deal with it is your own business.

Akatsuki's purpose is not to cooperate with Sunagakure's actions, but to capture the Nine-Tails during this Chunin Exam.

Of course, if Konoha doesn't perform well, then Akatsuki may also cooperate with Sunagakure. I think you understand what we mean."

Reveal the news to yourself and let yourself deal with it?

There was a flash of surprise in Kabuto Yakushi's eyes, and he nodded, indicating that he understood what Orochimaru meant.

“I understand, Lord Orochimaru, I will take care of this matter.

But there is still a small question, that is, will the Fourth Kazekage really take action at that time?"

"The Fourth Kazekage?"

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed, he licked his tongue and sneered.

"He, of course he will take action. As for what state he will be in when he takes action, I can't guarantee it."

Orochimaru's words were very simple, but such a sentence made Kabuto Yakushi's eyes dim, because he knew that the Fourth Kazekage was probably in trouble.

If you want this guy to act exactly as planned, the best way is to control him.

As for how to control him, how to stop him from talking nonsense, how to make him follow the script, after thinking about it, it seems that the only way is to let him die, and then find someone to replace him!
Although Kabuto has been in Konoha, he has received information about Orochimaru and knows what technique the adult he follows is best at.

He had no doubt that this gentleman could do it, nor did he doubt that doing so would be exposed, but there was a very serious and critical issue here.

That is, this Kazekage must die. Only after his death can he play his due role better. Only after his death can that technique be used to bring him back to life to carry out the mission.

As for the difficulty of hunting down Fengying, it is probably harder than climbing to the sky for others.

But for a terrifying existence like Orochimaru, it's probably not a big deal!

"I'm leaving now. I have some things to take care of."

"Well then, I bid you farewell, Lord Orochimaru."

After chatting with Yakushi Kabuto for a few more words, Orochimaru turned and left, and Kabuto also left with a chuckle.

The illusion was lifted before leaving, and Konoha's Chunin woke up slowly, having no memory of what had just happened.

It has been some time since Naruto and his friends returned to the village. Kakashi reported Zabuza's mission truthfully, and Jiraiya took the opportunity to adjust the mission level to A.

This made Naruto and the others very happy. After all, their first mission was an A, which was something worth bragging about no matter how you looked at it.

But unfortunately, their next tasks were basically simple tasks, which made them very dissatisfied.

Kakashi was also helpless about this. As a senior ninja of Konoha, he knew a lot of secrets and also knew what the focus of Konoha's current preparations was.

According to the above statement, it means - 'We have received reliable intelligence that there may be a major change in the Chunin Exams, and all ninjas must be on standby.'

The word "huge change" cannot be said casually, especially when Kakashi knew that there was a very powerful ninja organization like Akatsuki in the ninja world, he dared not be careless.

It’s a pity that this is the only information they can get and they can’t know more about other things.

But it was enough for them, so during this period of time, all the senior ninjas returned to the village one after another.

The jonin who stay in the village will never go out casually, because their purpose is to deal with the next crisis.

And as the Chunin Exam draws closer, Kakashi also makes a decision.

"You should have heard about the Chunin Exams. Do you plan to participate?"

Kakashi asked directly in front of the three of them, and the answer he got was not surprising at all, which was that the three of them had to choose to participate.

And after deciding to take part in the Chunin Exam, these three little guys became noticeably more obedient, at least they didn't cause Kakashi as much of a headache anymore.

All they have to do now is to keep preparing and wait for that day to come!

As time went by, the Chunin Exam was getting closer, and Konoha Village became lively without anyone noticing.

It seemed like there were suddenly more outsiders in the village, but compared to the huge population base of Konoha as a whole, the number of these people was almost negligible.

Today, a group of special people came to the entrance of Konoha Village. The leader had a white cloth wrapped around his head and wore dark-style clothes.

There are some differences between them and the ninjas of Konoha. Many of them have oil paint on their faces, which seems to be to prevent their skin from getting sunburned.

There were about thirty people standing at the entrance of Konoha village, quietly waiting for the inspection of the village ninja.

"Humph, this Konoha Village is so arrogant. Teacher Maki personally brought us here and we were examined for such a long time. It's obvious that they don't trust us."

A young man in black in the crowd whispered. His face was painted with thick oil paint and he was carrying something wrapped in white cloth behind him. He looked very mysterious. "Kankuro, stop talking. If an outsider comes to our Sand Village, the scrutiny will probably be stricter. There's nothing to complain about."

Beside him, a girl in white clothes and yellow hair whispered. Behind her was a large folding fan, and on the shoulders of her white clothes were black mesh gauze, which made her look distinctive.

"Humph!"

The young man from Kankuro snorted, but didn't say much.

Obviously this is true. Ever since the mysterious man in the village attacked the secret vault, the entire Sand Village has been in an extremely tense state.

Anyone who enters the Sand Village must undergo the most stringent scrutiny, and the actions of the Anbu must involve the activities of multiple teams.

After all, the Anbu became a huge breakthrough that time, and the damage caused that time was unimaginable!

"Shut up, everyone."

While they were talking, the red-haired boy standing in front of them with an indifferent expression suddenly spoke, and his cold breath made people shudder.

The boy had no eyebrows and had obvious dark circles around his eyes. It looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

On his back he carried a huge gourd filled with yellow sand processed by chakra. On the corner of his left eye, a blood-red word "love" marked his identity.

This guy is the son of the Fourth Kazekage and also the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, Gaara!

"Feel sorry."

Gaara's words immediately quieted down Kankuro and Temari. They were really afraid of their younger brother.

The efficiency of Konoha Village is still very high, and it wasn't long before it was their turn.

Perhaps because of the alliance between Sand Village and Konoha Village after the Third Ninja World War, Konoha was not too harsh in its inspections of them.

About half an hour later, all the Sand Village ninjas entered Konoha, and when they entered, their vision suddenly opened up.

What appeared before their eyes were scenes that were completely different from those in the Sand Village.

In Konoha Village, there are lush green trees everywhere. The breeze blowing through the treetops brings a hint of coolness and an unprecedented vitality.

Such a lively scene makes all the Sand Village members yearn for it.

In particular, they can smell the fragrance of flowers everywhere, all of which are very difficult for them to experience in the Sand Village.

But these things can be seen everywhere in Konoha Village, as if everything is so normal.

Such ordinariness almost instantly filled the hearts of all the people in the Sand Village with jealousy. They really didn't understand why the gap between the Sand Village and Konoha was so big.

Why is it so difficult for Konoha to enjoy everything that they can easily enjoy in their Sand Village?
“Perhaps, that’s why we are doing this this time.

Why can they enjoy all this, and why can we only be covered by yellow sand in the desert? This is totally unfair!"

All the ninjas of the Sand Village were silently muttering to themselves, and at this moment they were completely determined in their inner thoughts.

They are the elite of the Sand Village, and being sent here naturally means they are involved in and carry out an extremely secret mission.

Originally, they were still somewhat lost and hesitant in their hearts. Konoha's performance in the war three years ago was really terrifying.

But now they understand that if they don't do something, they will always be trapped in the worst place in the ninja world.

And Konoha will always be superior because they have the most important things and because they own almost everything!
Since the Sand Village doesn't have all of this, then let's take it away, take it away with their own hands!

"Welcome to Konoha."

At this moment, a voice sounded beside them.

Maki, Gaara and the others turned around and saw a ninja with silver hair, wearing Konoha's common ninja uniform and a mask on his face walking towards them not far away.

"It turns out to be Mr. Hatake Kakashi. I've heard of your name for a long time." Maki's eyes slightly dimmed and he said with a smile.

Kakashi shrugged as he spoke casually.

“Mr. Maki, the special advisor to Sunagakure, is also well known to me, but now is not the time to chat.

I am here to greet you on the orders of the Hokage. Please follow me. Accommodation has been arranged."

"Then there will be more Lord Kakashi and Lord Godaime Hokage."

Maki nodded, looking quite respectful, and then they all followed Kakashi and left.

"Yes, Mr. Maki."

As he walked, Kakashi glanced at the personnel configuration of the Sand Village, then he said with a smile.

"Because this Chunin Exam is a joint effort of many villages, if nothing unexpected happens, Kumogakure and Iwagakure will also come.

The Hokage is busy arranging accommodations for people from other villages, so he will probably be free to meet with Mr. Maki in the afternoon."

Maki nodded immediately, and he said, "Of course, it depends on the time of Hokage-sama."

Kakashi didn't say anything more, but instead asked, "By the way, I heard that the Kazekage-sama will come to watch the Chunin Exam in person this time?"

Maki smiled and quickly gave an affirmative answer: “Well, Lord Kazekage takes this Chunin Exam very seriously.

However, I am very busy, so I will not be present at the first few games. I will only be there to watch the last one and discuss other things with the Hokage."

Kakashi didn't say anything more when he heard the news. Some things were just like that to him.

Whether Rasa comes or not, it will not have much impact on Konoha, or even during the Third World War, Konoha did not take Sunagakure too seriously.

Not to mention Luo Sha, what could happen even if he came?

……

"Are you sure that Luo Sha is really going to Konoha?"

In the Sand Village, Ōnoki looked at the document in his hand and asked curiously, but when he asked, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a strange luster.

He didn't think that Rasa's purpose of going to Konoha was so pure. After all, as a Kage, there was really no need for him to go through this type of Chunin exam.

Ying's arrival can boost morale, but what good can such a boost in morale do? There is really no point in making a fuss about nothing.

Of course, it is not impossible to say that Rasa did this for the sake of the relationship between Sand Village and Konoha. After all, Sand Village and Konoha are allies, and it is understandable that he really made this choice.

But the key issue is that he has also met Orochimaru!

Orochimaru had found him on behalf of the Akatsuki organization and asked him if he had any intention of taking action against Konoha.

He refused at that time because Konoha was too strong and he really had no interest in causing trouble for Konoha.

Uchiha Yuhara alone is enough to be unbearable, and this time it happens in Konoha’s base camp, isn’t this fatal?

But he was indeed a little excited in his heart, because this time it was at Konoha's base camp, and this time it was a deliberate move, and the people from Akatsuki would also take action!

"It's just a matter of being moved, but we have to face reality, especially now that the Hidden Rock Village needs to cultivate and expand its talent pool, otherwise..."

Ohnoki sighed slightly. There were really too many things he needed to consider. Besides, Iwagakure Village was not the Sand Village, and they had not reached the end of the road yet.

For the Sand Village that is at the end of its road, no matter what extreme thoughts they have, it is actually not surprising, at least Ohnoki doesn't think it is surprising.

After all, he was also one of the people who pushed the Sand Village into the abyss, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with him. If he didn't push the Sand Village, he would be the one who fell into the abyss.

He will not be too soft-hearted. It is better for the Sand Village to die than for him to die alone!

The probability of success of the Sand Village's operation this time is very low. They can only rely on the problem of Konoha's civilians to make Konoha's ninjas surrender.

But with just a few ninjas like you, can you really control such a vast land as the Land of Fire?
If Uchiha Yuhara really doesn't care, not only will he kill all your ninjas, he will also most likely rush to your house and kill you all!
"But if you look at it this way, this might really be a feast."

Ohnoki touched his chin, and suddenly he became a little interested in this matter. He tapped the table lightly and then spoke.

"Inform Konoha that I will be there to watch the battle this time as well."

"Lord Tsuchikage, this..."

"Just do what I say and don't ask too many questions."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."

Following Ohnoki's orders, the young ninja beside him quickly retreated, leaving only Ohnoki standing there.

No one knows what he is thinking, but no one will go against his actions. At this moment, only he himself knows what his purpose is.

"Is Luo Sha going too?"

Coincidentally, in the Hidden Cloud Village, Killer Bee, who had inherited the position of the Fourth Raikage and became the Fifth Raikage, couldn't help but fall into deep thought while looking at the documents in his hands.

Becoming the Fifth Raikage was not actually his wish, but under the circumstances at the time he had no better solutions or choices.

After becoming the Raikage, he finally understood the pressure and worries his brother was experiencing at the time, and he grew up quite quickly. In just three years, he became a qualified Kage.

But, I don’t know if it’s because becoming a movie queen will bring about a huge change for a Jinchūriki, his originally erratic personality has become restrained, and he looks so dignified and serious.

He works hard every day, and now he really has some of the shadow of the future Naruto in the original work.

Kirabi put down the documents in his hand with a slightly tired look, thought seriously for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Samui, inform Konoha that we will also go to watch the Chunin Exam this time."

"Lord Raikage, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. This is a rare feast. I'm afraid I'll regret it if I don't go and see it."

While the ninja world was in turmoil, Konoha Village was calmly preparing everything.

Perhaps it was for the purpose of gathering intelligence, or perhaps it was because the prosperity of Konoha really attracted the people of the Sand Village, and basically no one was willing to stay in their residence.

This was what happened to Kankuro and Temari, as the two of them wandered around the village.

boom!
Just as they were admiring the prosperity of Konoha, a young figure bumped into Kankuro.

"Little devil, do you want to die?"

Kankuro said with a bad look, he was in a really bad mood right now, everything about Konoha made him feel unhappy and jealous.

The little ghost also looked up in confusion. There was no doubt that he was Konohamaru from the Sarutobi clan.

"Who are you? Your forehead protectors don't look like you're from Konoha's ninjas."

Konohamaru was also startled, but he forced himself to speak calmly.

"You are ninjas from another village. I'm afraid you are here to take part in the Chunin Exams. Do you really want to attack us in Konoha?"

Although Konohamaru is no longer the prince of Konoha, and the current Sarutobi clan is no longer the same Sarutobi clan as before, he does not know Naruto now.

But he is still very smart and has a strong learning ability. After all, Asuma has high expectations for him, so he has learned a lot at a young age.

That's why he can remain calm now, otherwise he would have panicked by now.

However, his words immediately made Kankuro's eyes become more dangerous. As the son of the Kazekage, he was threatened by someone, and the person at that time was an unknown kid from Konoha.

This was definitely not something he could tolerate, but he was in a difficult position now because Konohamaru's words really choked him.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

But just when he was in danger, a voice was heard, followed by a figure slowly approaching from a distance.

Konohamaru's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he shouted, "Big brother, it's them, they are the ones who want to teach me a lesson.

I think they look unfamiliar. They must be from other villages. They are probably spies from other villages. Quickly notify the security department to come and catch them!"

"spy?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard Konohamaru's words, then he snorted coldly and walked directly in front of them, blocking Konohamaru behind him and facing Kankuro and Temari.

"You're from the Sand Village, right? I guess you're here to take part in the Chunin Exams, right?

I advise you not to get involved during the exam. This is Konoha after all, and it would be bad if there were some misunderstandings."

"Misunderstand?"

Kankuro made a strange sound, and he became even more annoyed looking at the guy in front of him.

"I don't think this is a misunderstanding. That kid just bumped into me. He has to pay a price."

"you sure?"

Naruto's brows gradually frowned and his look began to become unfriendly.

Is this guy crazy? Although Naruto doesn't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean he is afraid of it.
