"There should be a forest here, and a wide river should flow through it, not in a straight line, but winding..."

"There are many kinds of animals in the forest, including some ninja beasts with considerable strength."

"There should be a flower field beyond the forest..."

"Wait a minute, why is there a flower field at the competition venue?" Before Xiao Nan could finish speaking, the clone interrupted.

"Tch~" Xiao Nan curled her lip.

Having failed in her attempt to muddy the waters, Konan decisively changed the subject: "The Chunin Exams finals are being held on a lake, what do you think?"

Xiao Nan's words swayed my thoughts, and I began to imagine a circular arena on the lake for a moment...

Emmm...

It seems somewhat familiar.

But it's nothing, it's quite interesting.

"Very well, let's do it."

With that said, the clone put it into action...

Chapter 262 The examinees arrived one after another...

Rumbling--

With a gentle tremor, a magnificent arena rose from the ground, half above the lake and half on land, with a circular river encircling the arena and a ring of silver metal canopy covering the entire stands...

Dense raindrops fell from the central circular hole, like a river cascading down from the sky and pouring onto the arena, creating a rather magical feeling.

The outer walls of the arena are covered with green plants, their emerald leaves and colorful petals swaying in the wind, emitting a fragrant aroma that also carries the fresh scent of herbs and trees.

"Quite good looking……"

Xiao Nan carefully examined the area for a while, gave her evaluation, and then offered her suggestion: "Half of the arena on the lake is a bit monotonous. How about adding some facilities? Like boating or something..."

The clone's gaze fell upon the turbulent lake, its expression somewhat subtle, as if asking: Are you serious?!

Are you really boating on the lake, and not surfing?!

"The arena is also a bit monotonous. Adding some facilities, such as snack stalls and beverage shops..."

Clone: ​​"…………" It seems quite normal to eat something while watching a game; at least I like to snack while watching a movie.

but……

When people get excited, they easily forget what they are doing.

Combat sports, in particular, are very likely to evoke strong emotions.

Add in snacks and drinks, and it's estimated that at least half of the viewers will have their hair washed with various beverages and snacks...

'The audience seating needs to be modified...'

The clone did not reject Konan's suggestion, since the original body had given him the order to assist Nagato and the others. Therefore, he began to think about the modification plan for the arena.

Meanwhile, Minato, who had just left Amegakure, witnessed the entire process of the arena rising from the ground. He was immediately surprised and wondered who was behind it. The first person that came to mind was the mysterious Boss Fang.

Withdrawing his gaze from the arena and gathering his thoughts, Minato continued forward, soon arriving at his destination: the highest peak east of Amegakure...

"Mr. Fang, please wait a moment."

Before Fang Rui could speak, Minato spoke first, then disappeared instantly. When he returned a few seconds later, there were several more people beside him.

'...They're all people I know very well...and the toad~'

Fang Rui glanced at everyone present and the toad, and sighed softly to himself.

"Boss Fang." Jiraiya's expression was very serious.

Standing on Jiraiya's shoulder, Fukasaku's expression was very serious as he carefully observed Fang Rui. According to the Great Toad Sage, there was someone who was the source of the changes in the future. Combining this with the information given by Minato, he was certain that the person before him was the one who would cause these changes. However…

'It looks quite ordinary!'

Fukasaku thought this to himself but didn't say it aloud; instead, he quietly observed from the sidelines...

"What do you want to see me about?"

Fang Rui had no interest in subtle ways of speaking; his questions were usually straightforward and direct.

"I'd like to ask, what is your goal?" Jiraiya's expression was somewhat tense.

"Knowledge, treasures, all kinds of materials..."

Fang Rui held up three fingers and explained, "I have absolutely no interest in ruling the world. My idea is to build a peaceful and stable society, drive the world forward, and continuously produce new knowledge..."

"I see." Jiraiya nodded slightly in understanding. Simply put, Fang Rui needed a stable social environment to achieve his goal, so he decided to create a peaceful world...

Jiraiya's worries lessened somewhat, but did not completely disappear, since he could not be sure whether what Fang Rui said was true and reliable.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly, and they all turned their gazes to Fang Rui. However, Fang Rui had no intention of continuing the conversation and directly changed the subject:

"Do you think... it would be better to equip the summoned beasts with a sound system, since many people are illiterate?"

Jiraiya, Minato, and Fukasaku exchanged glances for a moment without answering the question. The difference between agreeing and disagreeing was the difference between offending Boss Fang and offending Toad. No matter who they offended, it would be a loss for them.

It's best to remain silent and refrain from expressing opinions.

"...Let's do it this way! If any summoned beasts refuse, give them a raise..." Fang Rui thought for a moment and said, "If they still refuse, then forget it, there's no need to force them."

As he spoke, Fang Rui pointed to the empty space, and with a flash of light, a pile of huge billboards appeared, next to which were equally piled up enlarged loudspeakers.

It's waterproof, of course!

"The rest is up to you guys~"

After saying that, Fang Rui turned and left, paying no attention to Naruto Uzumaki, who was called the "Child of Destiny".

To be fair, Naruto Uzumaki was incredibly strong at his peak; he could have swept through the entire ninja world in a single day, and most of that time was spent traveling. However…

He has very few ninjutsu techniques!

However... the level of ninjutsu is quite high.

Unfortunately, he hasn't mastered those ninjutsu yet, and he may not be able to learn them in the future, since the future has already changed.

Jiraiya, Minato, and Fukasaku exchanged glances for a moment, nodded slightly, and then successively used summoning techniques to summon the toads of Mount Myōboku...

Accompanied by a series of "bangs" and billowing smoke, toads as large as mountains appeared one after another.

"Bunta, give them billboards and loudspeakers."

"Yes, boss!" Toad Bunta, who had a bandit-like air about him in both appearance and clothing, responded in a gruff voice.

Take off, spin in the air, and land.

Gamabunta, already standing next to the billboard, looked at the other toads, pursed his lips, raised his pipe, and said in a gruff voice, "All of you line up and come one by one to collect your stuff!"

Upon hearing this, accompanied by a rhythmic vibration, the toads lined up neatly.

Then, amidst another rhythmic tremor, the toads successively received billboards and megaphones, embarking on their journey to spread the news...

Inside Amegakure Village, ordinary residents, unaware of what was happening outside, felt the town vibrating rhythmically, their expressions somewhat subtle.

This earthquake...it's so strange!

………………

Meanwhile, other ninja villages...

After a period of selection, the list of participants for the Chunin Exams in Konoha Village has been finalized, and their companions have also been determined.

Most of the village's ninja clans have already decided to go, along with some wealthy individuals and businessmen. Whether they're going to get free bodyguards or genuinely go to watch the Chunin Exams remains to be seen...

Due to the large number of people and their varying abilities, horse-drawn carriages were chosen as the mode of transportation.

Among the group from Kumogakure were ordinary people who were too weak to even kill a chicken, but they used a different approach than those from Konoha. The Raikage and his group led the participants ahead, while the rest of the spectators formed another team...

Kirigakure was the most efficient in its operations because all the clans in the village had been defeated and subdued by the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, and would unconditionally support his orders.

As for ordinary people, there aren't many...

After all, Kirigakure was in a state of chaos recently, and even the village's merchants rarely entrusted their commissions to Kirigakure ninjas.

In Iwagakure, the Second and Third Tsuchikage went first, followed by the rest of the villagers.

As for Sunagakure...

After Rasa was captured, Chiyo and the others already knew some things. Before the news of the Chunin Exams being held in Amegakure spread, Chiyo and the others had already left Sunagakure and rushed to Amegakure at full speed.

When the follow-up information reached Sunagakure, it was handled by other people.

Let's talk about the other smaller ninja villages...

Takigakure and Otogakure had already set off, but the other ninja villages hadn't reacted until...

"The first unified Chunin Exams of the entire ninja world will be held in Amegakure in five days. Everyone is welcome to come to Amegakure to watch the competition..."

The summoning beasts, whose size rivals that of mountains, roamed the ninja world, immediately attracting the attention of many ninjas and ordinary people. For ordinary people, those mountain-like behemoths were terrifying, while they were also curious about the Chunin Exams. After weighing their options for a while, some people made up their minds.

As for the ninjas... some overconfident individuals, upon seeing summoning beasts, actually conceived the idea of ​​capturing them and put it into action...

The result was predictable. Not to mention the summoning beasts from Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, the other summoning beasts were also extremely powerful and not to be trifled with, given their size...

Ordinary ninjas simply didn't have the strength to defeat it, so most ninja villages had some ninjas lying in hospitals. The rogue ninjas who wandered outside fared even worse; most of them had no trustworthy comrades, and after being severely injured by the summoning beast, their fate was predictable...

Thanks to the summoning beasts' propaganda, most ninja villages changed their original decisions and sent several teams to Amegakure to participate in the Chunin Exams.

In addition, many nobles and merchants have already set off for Amegakure to see what the first unified Chunin Exams are like.

Some refugees near Amegakure Village were also curious and set off for Amegakure Village.

Three days later...

Most of the ninja from the ninja villages have arrived in Amegakure and are currently resting in the accommodations arranged by Amegakure, while others are strolling around the village.

The nobles and merchants, on the other hand, wandered around Amegakure, looking for fun things to do and opportunities to make money...

Thanks to Kakuzu and Konan's renovations, Amegakure is now significantly different from what it used to be. Shops for eating, drinking, and having fun are everywhere... and they are all very unique, making many people have a great time.

The businessmen have also spotted some opportunities and are trying to contact the higher-ups in Amegakure to explore collaborations...

However, the person they were negotiating cooperation with was Kakuzu, the financial manager of both the Akatsuki organization and Amegakure, therefore...

All businessmen already understand what happens when they encounter an unreasonable businessman!
