I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere in the conference room.

Absolute Defense!!

What a terrifying title!

After all, in today's world, who dares to claim absolute defense?

Compared to regular samurai,

In pursuit of efficiency and lightness, ninjas have abandoned steel armor with strong defensive capabilities, and some even refuse to wear standard ninja armor.

This gives them highly efficient operational capabilities, but it also means that their own defenses are weakened to the extreme.

If one is careless and negligent, the consequences could be fatal.

But that little guy was called an absolute defense by the enemy!

Such information, along with the clear and unambiguous achievement of a B-level mission, is nothing short of alarming.

"The Kingdom of Wind, located in the southwest, is not as peaceful as we imagined."

"The ambitions of the Fourth Generation Rasa have never been extinguished."

"The entire village seems to have finally emerged from the panic of the previous Kazekage's disappearance and has begun to gradually bare its fangs."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gently placed his pipe on the table and quietly commented on the power of the neighboring country.

At the same time, a complex and obscure meaning was suppressed in his eyes.

The Akatsuki's shady hunting tactics against the Tailed Beasts, the potential resurrection of Madara Uchiha, the hidden dangers of Ara Uchiha awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the restless 'ally', Sunagakure.

Too many things were weighing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

in case,

If only Uchiha Ara could have been born into the reassuring Sarutobi clan.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a similarity to Koharu Utatane.

If the other party can truly be used for one's own benefit,

What Chunin Exams, and what Absolute Sand Defense?

Even a Jonin-level promotion would be enough to make it soar!

Unfortunately, the other party happens to have the surname Uchiha!

It came from the family he had resolved to no longer trust.

After all, Itachi's ferocious and insane appearance that night was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely imprinting a series of negative characteristics unique to the Uchiha, such as 'betrayal' and 'uncontrollability,' deep into his heart!

You should know that in the past,

Itachi was also an Uchiha clansman whom he had placed high hopes on and had tried to trust.

only........

The results were disappointing.

"Among our younger generation, are there any genin who can rival Gaara?"

Noticing the somber atmosphere, Koharu, somewhat unwillingly, asked a question.

And compared to the resentment hidden in his tone, the more easily discernible emotion was that hope.

How could the prestigious Leaf Village possibly be unable to find a younger generation capable of suppressing the Sand Village ninja?

"Perhaps,"

"Neji Hyuga in Might Guy's team has successfully completed 20 D-rank missions and 11 C-rank missions in the past year."

"That kid graduated from the Ninja Academy last year with the highest score."

Hiruzen Sarutobi responded in response.

In order to discover someone who could counterbalance Uchiha Ara and to find suitable subordinates for Asuma, he paid close attention to recent graduates.

"From the Hyuga clan?"

Upon hearing this name, Koharu Utatane's voice suddenly brightened.

After all, this is one of the oldest clans in Konoha, and their unique Byakugan is coveted by the entire ninja world!

"Well, that's about enough experience from 11 C-rank missions."

She gradually calmed her unease.

If Konoha doesn't have a teammate who can rival Gaara of the Sand Waterfall during the Chunin Exams, it will be a huge disgrace for the village.

However, the white-haired old man who responded did not have the same relaxed expression as the former.

"However, relying solely on Hyuga Neji to contain the weapon of Sunagakure is probably not enough."

"Because he comes from the Hyuga branch family."

This reassurance immediately made Koharu Utatane's relaxed mood turn serious again.

Among the ancient families still existing in Konoha, the Hyuga clan is unique in that the distinction between the main family and the branch family is extremely serious.

Of course, the purpose of doing this is also to ensure the purity of the Byakugan and to prevent it from being taken away by those covetous individuals from external forces.

Moreover, for a long time, with the exception of Kirigakure, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan was well protected.

It's one thing to carve 'bird in a cage' on the forehead of a branch family member, but why are they unwilling to share even their secret techniques, which can only be passed down by the main family?

In this respect, even the evil Uchiha clan did a better job than them.

"If even a branch of the family could learn the secret techniques belonging to the main family, the Hyuga wouldn't have been suppressed by the Uchiha for generations!"

"What a stubborn and inflexible bunch."

Koharu Utatane couldn't change anything in this situation, since it was ultimately a matter for the Hyuga clan.

All they could do was vent their complaints and dissatisfaction in private.

"Then let's postpone the Chunin Exams."

"I remember there were quite a few promising young people among those about to graduate, weren't there?"

"It's not just the offspring of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan heads,"

"Moreover, Sunagakure has so-called weapons of war, so why don't we, Konoha, have them too?"

"However, three months is still a bit too short for training."

"Moreover, the most important thing right now is to eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by Uchiha Ara."

After complaining, she continued to offer advice.

The most pressing issue right now is time. Once we have some leeway in terms of time, all problems will be easily solved.

"Postponing the assessment is probably not appropriate; it will only alert the one from Sunagakure."

"Now we really only have one option left: to co-host this Chunin Exam as the organizer."

"Of course, if the organizers choose to cancel or postpone the event themselves, that would be another story, but the possibility of that is almost zero."

“While we were monitoring Sunagakure, they must have also been scrutinizing us extensively.”

"The reason for mentioning this now is to seize the opportune moment when Konoha's younger generation is facing a talent gap."

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could say anything in response to the advice from his contemporaries, Homura Mitokado, who was sitting next to him, preemptively spoke up to answer.

After all, the people in Sunagakure aren't hopeless fools; they must have taken all the concerns into account when they extended the invitation.

Of course, only those guys themselves know best how they view this joint trial and what kind of schemes they're plotting.

"So, are we just going to let those guys from Sunagakure lead us by the nose?"

Xiaochun, who had just switched dorms, spoke up indignantly.

How could he be content to be the leader of the five great ninja villages yet repeatedly subjected to the constraints of others?

"There is still time."

"Three months may not be a long time, but it is enough to mold a promising junior into a weapon of war that can be used."

"Have you all forgotten how Uchiha Ara grew up?"

At this moment,

It was precisely in this awkward situation that

Danzo Shimura stepped forward again, and whether for Konoha or for himself, this was a great opportunity.

"You mean you want all the next generation of young ninjas to go out and carry out high-difficulty missions during the spare preparation period?"

"That's unrealistic!"

“Uchiha Ara’s experience is irreplaceable, and his talent is beyond doubt. No one in the younger generation can follow in his footsteps.”

"Moreover, due to the activity of the Akatsuki organization in the surrounding area, Konoha is receiving far fewer missions than before. Even if they simply select the most talented young people from the next generation and assign elite ninjas to lead them, they still cannot ensure a sufficient number of missions."

"Moreover, we also need to ensure that the mission is completed 100%. This is not a simple trial mission, but an external mission that represents the image of Konoha and is linked to the village's reputation!"

"Most importantly, their own level of awareness is fundamentally different."

Although Xiaochun really didn't want to admit it, she changed dorm rooms.

But in terms of potential and resolve, Ara of the Uchiha clan is a born ninja!

It's nothing short of a miracle that they've risen to this level in such a short period of time!

Unfortunately, his surname already determined that he could not be used by Konoha.

"Awareness? Potential?"

"These are just minor obstacles."

"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, hand these two over to me, and to Root."

"Within three months, I will definitely train them to be comparable to the Sand Absolute Defense, or even Uchiha Ara."

"In the end, it's because your methods were too mild."

"They don't realize that the Sharingan and Jinchuriki are never meant to be reformed, but rather to be enslaved and their every bit of power exploited!"

"If I had handed these two over earlier, the mere Uchiha Ara would have been no threat at all!"
