"How was it, Hiruzen?"

"It's not too late to make a decision now."

"Your answer is?"

"I asked in a low voice, my eyes, the only one visible, burning with a wild ambition!"

That's right, those two people were his chance to turn things around, and it was worth it even if it meant sacrificing his entire foundation.

One is an evil clansman betrayed by his closest relatives and ostracized by his entire clan; the other is a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki despised by the entire village and possessing the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan!

As long as these two innate weapons can be used for my own purposes, what does it matter if I have to give up the entire root or the upper part of Konoha?

A burning ambition pounded in his chest.

"Those two kids haven't graduated yet. They'll be assigned subordinates once they successfully pass the genin exam."

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi not see through Danzo's little scheme?

However, given the current environment that requires cooperation, they can only use the most lame excuses to delay.

Of course, even if those two kids graduate successfully, I won't hand them over to the other party.

Perhaps, as the other party said,

Both Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto have the potential to grow into weapons of war that deter other countries.

But this is not the future he wanted to see.

After all, he had made promises to both Minato and Kushina.

Moreover, handing it over to Danzo and letting him control it would be far too dangerous; it would be like creating two ticking time bombs within Konoha!

not to mention,

Having finally reduced the opponent's strength to a level that could be controlled, how could they possibly allow this cunning and ambitious individual to continue to grow stronger?

"As far as I know, Uchiha Sasuke is the strongest overall in this generation, right?"

"If he can't even pass the graduation exam, then I don't think there will be any genin in this class."

Danzo held on tightly and did not let go.

This is the quickest path for him to seek his future.

“Sunagakure has already developed its own weapons of war.”

"Are we going to continue being passive and letting such resources go to waste?"

"I'm doing this for the future of Konoha, for the stability of Konoha!"

"Of course, if there are no results in these three months, you can naturally take those two people back."

"Just like when we were about to take the 'A' position."

"Well, I heard that he's called 'Tianzang' now, right?"

The one-eyed old man's words were tinged with barely suppressed impatience, and he even set a three-month deadline, since this was truly the shortcut he could foresee!

Once he misses it, he doesn't know when the next opportunity will come.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not give in the slightest.

“I will take this matter into consideration, but Sasuke is currently training with Kakashi Hatake, so it has probably become a habit.”

"Moreover, the Copy Ninja's strength and experience should be no weaker than those of the Root's trainers, right?"

As wisps of smoke rose, a calm response slowly emerged from the white-haired old man's mouth.

"No, Kakashi only served in the Anbu and has no idea how Root operates or how it trains. Developing a weapon of war that can be used is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary ninja who has left the Anbu. Leave Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to me; only I can..."

Danzo Shimura could never accept his old friend's rejection.

However, the former did not give him any further instructions.

"enough,"

"Let's end this matter here."

"Then I will reply to Lord Rasa and agree to hold this joint Chunin Exam."

"As for the location, let's set it in Konoha. That way, even if something happens, we can react immediately. Going to Sunagakure at this time is a bit unsettling."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, ending the conversation with a single sentence, and then made his decision with another.

Ultimately,

He is the true Hokage!!

Neither advisor had any objections to this, as jointly hosting the Chunin Exams was indeed an invitation they couldn't refuse, and holding it in Konoha would not only showcase their own image but also mitigate some unnecessary risks.

Only Shimura Danzo was present, his face ashen, and the lines spreading across the wooden cane in his hand became increasingly clear.

You'll regret this, Hiruzen!

at the same time,

To the northeast of the Land of Fire, on the four borders of the Land of Hot Water.

Hundreds of figures, shrouded in an obscure aura, quietly appeared.

"Hey, this is such a nostalgic place."

Whispers of reminiscence arose.

He then instantly suppressed the emotions that had just been expressed.

"Remember the master's orders: leave no one of the evil god cult members alive, leave no spies from other ninja villages alive, and those trash who remain here will either submit or die."

"This country will be ours from now on..."

At this point, a peculiar emotion crept into Chino's tone.

Because in the message, that person said...

This is our home.

These are indeed unfamiliar yet exciting words.

"Then, disperse."

Chapter 328 is just a tool!

The trees were shady, and people were moving about.

A violent emotion, accompanied by the clanging of weapons, emanated from the forest.

"Damn Uchiha!"

"That arrogant and self-righteous evil race should be completely wiped out and condemned by the world!"

The angry cursing hadn't stopped since the night before last.

The protagonist in the story is Uchiha Ara, who caused the riot in the Land of Hot Water that night!

As for the people who have gathered here, they are naturally the various large and small indigenous forces that were swept out of the city.

Normally, this group of guys getting together would definitely cause some kind of conflict, but since they now have a common outlet for their frustrations, they're at peace for the time being.

"that is,"

"The ninjas from the Land of Fire actually came to the Land of Hot Water to preach some bullshit justice! It's utterly laughable!"

"Does that guy really think he can change the entire situation in the outer realms all by himself?"

"Three days are almost up!"

"If you're so capable, then stay here forever and protect those weak 'fat sheep'!"

Outrageous voices were heard incessantly.

And this also highlights a reality,

Konoha's ninjas cannot remain in other countries to enforce the law forever, unless Yugakure can rise again, or unless the daimyo of that country exhausts his wealth to offer to hire them. Otherwise, this place will forever remain a lawless, dark zone.

Moreover, even if that useless daimyo prefecture were really willing to spend money to maintain peace, what difference would it make?

Are the surrounding forces and other ninja villages just going to sit idly by and watch?

impossible!

It's important to know that Kahn's gang, which is based in the North District, is backed by a formidable ninja force!

Simultaneously,

The timing mentioned in these words also served as a warning to the various factions gathered here.

"The three days are almost up."

Some people even repeated these words out of their mouths without prior arrangement, and almost all the leaders began to have their own plans in mind.

The Uchiha's intrusion wasn't entirely a bad thing for them.

After all, Kahn is gone!

The entire North District is currently unclaimed, making it a huge, first-come, first-served opportunity!

Thinking of this,

The ambitious and restless gang leader subtly winked at his underlings.

Immediately, one of the clever canines understood and began to bark loudly:

"Damn it, it's all that blind Iron Mountain's fault for provoking such a calamity as the Uchiha."

"Now everyone has suffered through three days of wind and rain, enduring immense hardship!"

"Has anyone seen them together? They've caused such a huge mess, and they don't even apologize to everyone!!"

Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell silent for a moment.

"Exactly, where are the people from Tieshan?"

"Hurry up and come over here to apologize to everyone!!"

After a brief silence, the area erupted in activity once again.
