Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

He was already thinking of a way to make this rebellious genius kid die in Konoha!

Otherwise, it will become a major threat to Kirigakure sooner or later...

Kisame sighed deeply, looked up at the sky, and felt inexplicably down.

It seems that no matter which village you're in, there will be countless conflicts and contradictions...

Hokage Building.

"Qingshui, is everything going according to plan?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as he used his telescope technique to observe the out-of-town ninjas who appeared to be strolling around the village, but were actually secretly observing them:

"Do we need to make any adjustments?"

Qing Shui nodded slowly:

"What they see is what I want them to see..."

"The formal exam can begin now, but to prevent excessive casualties, I will participate in the second melee."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Aoshui in confusion. Had he heard correctly?

Is Qingshui going to participate in the Chunin Exams?

To Hiruzen Sarutobi, this sounded like the beauty of his teacher, Tobirama Senju, taking the Will of Fire exam…

"I really am still a genin..."

Qing Shui smiled:

"I haven't participated in the Chunin Exams yet. In my records, I should still be classified as a Genin."

"Although I am the leader of Root, my participation in this Chunin Exam is still in accordance with the rules and regulations."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave an awkward laugh.

The words "rules" and "systems" used to only please Hiruzen Sarutobi when Aozumi used them. A good kid who was proficient in the Will of Fire, his thinking was so disciplined.

However, since he last saw Tobirama Senju inside Aozumi's body, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mentality has undergone a subtle change.

Considering Aozumi's recent apparent accelerated progress in being possessed, and the astonishing experiments conducted by Root, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to make a comment, but he swallowed his words.

"Whatever makes you happy, Qingshui..."

"Hiruzen, you are the Hokage..."

Chapter 136 Aoshui, treated like prey, and Kaguya, who longs for battle.

A clan

A few days later.

The joint Chunin Exams are about to begin.

The exam content was very simple, without any complicated procedures such as written tests or competitions; there was only one item.

All participating ninjas were divided into twenty groups, with no strict limit on the number of people in each group. Ten Heaven Scrolls and ten Earth Scrolls were randomly distributed to each group.

Each group receives a pair of Heaven and Earth Scrolls and reaches their destination through the Forest of Death; this is considered passing the Chunin Exams.

This strange competition format alerted the ninjas from other villages to something amiss.

Konoha seems to be hiding its ninjas, not wanting its genin to reveal their abilities through various tests, and has directly fast-forwarded to team battles.

From the rules to the details, everything felt rough and perfunctory, conveying a sense of "please just finish this already, no matter what..."

Outside the Forest of Death, Huang Tu, along with the village's "genin," watched the Konoha ninjas coming and going with grim faces.

Apart from Obito Uchiha, who appeared to be of normal genin age, all the other ninjas were of adult size.

Among them was a strange man wearing a green bodysuit, whose muscles were as muscular as the Third Raikage of Kumogakure.

"Lord Hokage, is this person also one of your genin?"

Huang Tu pointed at Might Guy, who was standing next to Obito Uchiha, his expression twitching slightly.

It seems that not only is Iwagakure shameless, sending a large number of Jonin to act as Genin, but Konoha has also stopped pretending.

Especially since his acting was terrible, Might Guy kept shouting about youth next to Obito Uchiha and occasionally shedding tears, which made Obito almost unable to hold back.

Is this some kind of idiot scam?

Although Might Day's tone was very emotional and his shouting was very natural in a youthful manner, no one would really think he was still a teenager!

"This one is indeed a genin from Konoha, a jonin named Huangtu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a complicated tone: "He does look a bit old, doesn't he?"

Huang Tu hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped. "Are the leaves really that nutritious?"

However, looking at the appearances of his own veteran Jonin like Wenya and Dongsiren, Huangtu didn't say much...

The other villages sent mostly young ninjas; none of them were honestly sending inexperienced, greenhorn-level ninjas.

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject, laughing as he said:

"Although this is the Joint Chunin Exams, the important thing is the peace agreement signing ceremony afterwards, everyone..."

"I hereby declare the Joint Chunin Exams officially open!"

The gates to the Forest of Death slowly opened, and the participating ninjas from various villages quickly slipped inside.

"Lord Hokage, where can we watch this exam taking place?"

Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure, said in a deep voice, "The performance of the young people in each village still needs to be overseen by us older generation."

Huang Tu and Xiguashan Hetonggui nodded, and Tutai also chimed in, "That's right, Hokage-sama."

Although I witnessed the conflict between the Uchiha clan and its leaders, and Konoha's desire for a peace treaty, it would always be better to see the fighting power of Konoha ninjas firsthand.

Facing the pressure from the Jonin leading their respective ninja villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly, took out his pipe, slowly took a puff, and said as instructed by Aozumi:

"This matter is crucial. It's not that we in Konoha haven't considered it; it's definitely an aspect that deserves our attention..."

"But compared to other things, the Joint Chunin Exams are relatively unimportant, such as the upcoming peace treaty..."

"I've already sent people to invite the daimyo to come and discuss this. They're probably on their way now. We should go and attend to discuss the specific details of the peace agreement. As for observing these children's exams, there will be other opportunities in the future. Let's put that aside for now..."

Chiyo narrowed her eyes menacingly.

In order to cover up the current situation of Konoha's genin, not only was the normal examination process shortened, but even the daimyo were brought out.

If the daimyo are indeed present as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, then Chiyo will have no choice but to go.

The relationship between Sunagakure and the Land of Wind is tense. Although Chiyo is confident that she can persuade the Daimyo of the Land of Wind to give Sunagakure a sum of money for military expenses so that it can turn the tide, given Konoha's weakness.

However, in order to achieve this, Sunagakure has recently become increasingly respectful to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. It's impossible for them to keep the village's moneybag waiting for them when all the Daimyo have arrived...

The other Jonin from the hidden villages all thought the same thing.

While the national village system was still functioning normally, the daimyo, as the economic lifeline and legal manager of the hidden village, did not possess extraordinary power, but he possessed secular and ideological inertia, and his status remained transcendent.

Perhaps decades from now, these powerless and weak rulers will be overthrown naturally by the ninjas, but certainly not now.

In today's world, the existence of a daimyo is like a kind of righteousness, a kind of status, a kind of conventional old thing.

Although the ninjas were all dissatisfied with their superiors, the first village to take action against the daimyo would inevitably be attacked and wiped out by the others, becoming the first victim of the reform.

Despite the infighting among the ninjas, the Daimyo maintained his high position and consciously tried to control the power of the various hidden villages in order to prolong his reign as much as possible.

"Lord Hokage, in order to prevent us from watching this exam, you've actually invited all the Daimyo-sama?"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon laughed: "How truly poignant!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained expressionless and said softly, "Konoha has no such intentions; we simply wish to achieve peace as soon as possible. Please understand our village's yearning for peace in the ninja world..."

"From the First Hokage onwards, this has always been the way Konoha is. I hope you all don't misunderstand."

When the First Hokage was mentioned, the Jonin from each village all had a flicker in their eyes…

That ninja god wasn't very bright, but they were different!

If there is an opportunity to destroy the enemy, even for a moment, each hidden village will try its best to seize it. Why would they do something incomprehensible like distributing tailed beasts or destroying their own gods?

Suigetsu Hozuki watched with amusement as Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to explain himself.

This is the general trend!

Although he was only around the level of an elite Jonin, after the various hidden villages united, even the Third Hokage, known as the "Hero of the Ninja," could only honestly explain himself when faced with his questioning.

In the past, Suigetsu Hozuki wouldn't have even been qualified to speak with Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Tsuchida watched this scene silently. If it were the old Hiruzen Sarutobi, would he have tolerated an ANBU from another ninja village speaking to him like that?

Ren Xiong's reputation was earned through fighting back then!

Although the specifics of the Joint Chunin Exams weren't revealed, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude alone was enough for the Jonin leading the teams from each village to sense it—

Konoha is already riddled with holes.

It wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi's technique was too clumsy, but rather that there were too many problems to cover them all up.

"Let's go, everyone, let's go with our Hokage to the peace agreement ceremony..."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon laughed heartily:

"It's a pity we can't see the Hidden Mist ninjas perform, but let's wish the Hidden Leaf ninjas good luck!"

"I hope all the genin of your village can survive the pursuit of the Blood Mist..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled faintly and nodded, saying nothing more, but turned around and said:

"The daimyo lords are about to arrive. Let's set off, everyone."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't take Suigetsu Hozuki's mockery to heart.

Because he knew that Qing Shui had also secretly participated in the exam and was waiting for his prey in the Death Forest.

As for why Aokiji wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams, Hiruzen Sarutobi initially didn't understand, thinking it was just his teacher's quirky humor...
