I'm Sasuke

"Are you late?" Kakashi retracted the fingers that were protruding around Qiang's neck and sighed slightly. After discovering that there was something wrong with Qiang, the Third Hokage was ready to fish for a long time and find out who was behind the scenes, but he didn't.

What I thought of was that the person behind the scenes was so straightforward that he directly killed people and silenced them. If he had known that this was the case, it would be better to catch Qiang in advance and find the information from his mind.

It was not the Qianbon that killed Qiang, but the poison on the Qianbon.

"That's it." In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage couldn't help but fell silent after hearing Kakashi's report. The upcoming Chuunin Exams cast a shadow at this moment.

"Thank you for your hard work, you go down and rest first."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

As soon as Kakashi heard what the Third Hokage said, he knew that the ANBU would take over the subsequent issues. He has now withdrawn from the ANBU system. Unless it is necessary, Kakashi will rarely intervene in ANBU affairs.

At the same time, the person who killed Qiang was dressed as an ANBU. If he was pretending, it would be okay, but if he was a real ANBU, it means that some high-level officials in Konoha may have been involved in this matter.

The Konoha Anbu is a very large organization with many members. It has multiple departments including the Intelligence Department, War Department, and Torture Department.

The ANBU in Konoha are not all people wearing ANBU uniforms and wearing various animal masks on their faces. The ANBU dressed in this way basically belong to the combat department. The intelligence department is hidden among the many Konoha ninjas. Maybe

A certain ninja around you may be Konoha's ANBU.

Konoha Anbu and Daqin Luowang are actually organizations of similar nature.

Qiang's death did not cause any ripples in Konoha, and the Fire Nation's daimyo and many important ministers also left Konoha in a low-key manner.

The daimyo of the five major countries and the kage of the five great ninja villages. Although on the surface, the status of the daimyo is higher than that of the kage, in fact, anyone who understands knows that the daimyo and the kage are on the same level.

It is very strange for a country to have two top leaders. In an ordinary world, their brains would be bleeding, but in this world there is a balance.

But this is just a superficial balance. Secretly, the daimyo and the Ninja Village have actually competed countless times. As someone said, a country cannot have two jade. However, in the face of the powerful force of the Ninja Village, the country

Just had to compromise.

The Twelve Ninjas, the guardians of the Land of Fire, were the product of this situation. It has to be said that no matter what world there are, there are people who dedicate everything to their ideals.

Even the third generation's son, Asuma, once agreed with this concept very much and believed that a country did not need two jade and joined the Twelve Ninjas to protect it.

It wasn't until the plan of guarding the Twelve Ninjas to assassinate the Hokage, destroy the Leaf Village, and let the Fire Country Daimyo take over the power failed that Asuma realized what real jade was from the Third Hokage and returned to Konoha.

The so-called jade does not refer to the country's leaders, but to the next generation. Whether it is the national system or the village system, they are actually established to protect the next generation.

Due to its superior geographical environment, the Country of Fire has a large number of ninja families and ninja forces. These forces combined have a certain strength. Therefore, the daimyo of the Country of Fire are in a much better situation than the daimyo of the other four countries. At least there are some around them.

A loyal ninja, no need to have any problems before asking for help at the head of the Konoha Village.

Like the daimyo of the other four countries, once they encounter any trouble, they can only ask the ninja village of their own country to deal with it. Over time, it is impossible not to be ignored. If the defense of a country's daimyo is all handled by the ninja village, how can you retain your independence?

"Finally completed." As time went by, Fang Zhou continued to do D-level tasks, and occasionally came up with a C-level task. On this day, Fang Zhou finally completed the practice of sealing. From today on, Fang Zhou doesn't have to worry.

It’s hard to carry because there are too many things.

"After working hard for so long, let's go out for a walk." Because the completion of the sealing technique made Fang Zhou very excited. The completion of this technique not only meant that it was much more convenient for him to fight, but also to enter and leave the Arad continent and Baiyue land.

It’s also a lot more convenient, and you can bring some things that are inconvenient to carry with you.

"Naruto-nii." Konohamaru looked worriedly at Naruto who was knocked away by a punch. Moehuang and Udon on the side also had the same expression.

"Bastard." Naruto, who flew into the air, put his right hand on the ground, landed safely, and then rushed towards the person in the front of the three people in front.

"Kid, are you good at it?" Kankuro looked at Naruto who was charging over with some surprise. He knew the power of the punch just now. According to his guess, this kid from Konoha would have to crawl for at least half a day.

Can't get up.

However, Kankuro didn't care at all about Naruto's direct attack. He turned his head and avoided Naruto's fist before grabbing Naruto's neck.

"Kid, if you want to fight me, you're still far away." Looking at Naruto being picked up by the neck, Kankuro sneered.

"Stop, what are you doing? Let Naruto go." Just when Konohamaru and the other three were looking at Naruto nervously, not knowing what to do, Sakura's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Forehead protector of Suna Ninja Village, why do you Suna Ninja Village people appear in Konoha? Even if they are allies of Konoha, they are not allowed to appear in Konoha without permission." Sakura walked to Kankuro's side.

, was slightly stunned, and immediately spoke.

As the person with the highest theoretical score, Sakura still knows a little about the relationship between the five major ninja villages. Unlike Naruto, he didn't notice it after seeing the forehead protectors of Kankuro and others.

"Kankuro, let him go, don't make the matter a big deal." Behind Kankuro, Temari with short blond hair, sighed slightly, walked forward, and said to Sakura, "It really looks like wood.

Ye Ninja hasn't received the news yet."

Temari took out a certificate and opened it to Sakura, "Do you see clearly? This is a pass issued by Konoha. We are not in Konoha Village illegally."

"Kankuro." After finishing speaking, Temari saw that Kankuro had not let go of Naruto who was struggling to breathe, and immediately her face straightened and she said seriously.

"knew."

Snapped.

Just when Kankuro started to speak, a stone accurately hit the back of Kankuro's hand. Painfully, Kankuro immediately released his fingers from Naruto's neck, and Naruto was finally freed.

"Who?" Feeling the pain in his finger, Kankuro's expression changed and he immediately looked in the direction where the stone came from. A black-haired boy was sitting on the tree trunk nearby, looking at them with a smile. It was Ark.

Even Fang Zhou didn't expect that when he went out for a casual stroll, he met the Konoha trio, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, who came to take the Chunin Exam.

Moreover, Naruto was bullied by Kankuro, so he naturally took action.

"Who are you?" Kankuro said as he untied the puppet he was carrying on his back.

"Isn't he handsome?" A smile appeared on Temari's face immediately after seeing Ark. It has to be said that people with good looks are treated differently, at least in front of Temari.

"Get off here." Kankuro said as he began to untie the puppet in his hands.

"Kankuro, stop." At this moment, a cold voice came from beside Ark. Gaara didn't know when he appeared in the tree behind him.

"Tch." When he heard Gaara's voice, Kankuro felt very unwilling, but he still carried the puppet behind his back honestly. It seemed that he was very afraid of Gaara.

"When did he appear there?" Sakura looked at Gaara behind Kankuro in shock, and then at Gaara behind Ark.

It was only then that Gaara's body behind Kankuro slowly turned into sand and scattered on the road, becoming a sand clone.

"What's your name?" Gaara looked at Fang Zhou coldly and asked.

"Before asking someone else's name, should you take the initiative to state your own name?" Fang Zhou said calmly.

"Gaara."

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"Uchiha Sasuke, I remember you." Gaara said and his figure turned into sand again, and when he reappeared, he appeared behind Kankuro again.

"Let's go." Then Gaara passed Kankuro and walked forward. He didn't even look at Sakura, Naruto, Konohamaru and others on the side.

"Yes." Kankuro nodded.

"Hey, handsome guy, see you next time." Temari showed a gentle smile to Ark.

"Everyone, stop." At this moment, Naruto suddenly shouted, "Remember my name, Uzumaki Naruto, one day I will become the Hokage of Konoha."

"Funny kid." Temari couldn't help laughing after hearing Naruto introduce himself.

"Uzumaki Naruto?" After hearing Naruto's self-announcement, Gaara couldn't help but be stunned. This was the first time he encountered such a person.

"Sasuke, thank you for coming, otherwise you would have been in trouble. But what do people from Suna Ninja Village want to do in Konoha? They look about the same age, but I didn't expect to be so powerful." Sakura shouted immediately after Gaara and the other three left.

cried to the ark in the tree.

"I believe we will soon know why they are here." Fang Zhou said and left the tree with a jumping technique.

"Sasuke, where are you going?" Sakura said and chased after him.

"Naruto-nii is so naughty." After seeing everyone else leave, Konohamaru and the other three looked at Naruto with disappointment.

"It was just an accident. It was really just an accident. I didn't perform well." Naruto hurriedly explained that he finally had three younger brothers and he didn't want to be abducted by Ark again.

"Really?" Konohamaru and the other three looked at Naruto suspiciously.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, I will definitely beat them up next time." Naruto shouted with confidence.

"I don't agree. Naruto's strength is still very weak." At the same time, the Hokage's office, Kakashi, Gai, Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Iruka and others were fiercely contesting the candidates for the Chunin Exam.

arguing.

Under normal circumstances, genin who have just graduated one year rarely take the chuunin exam. Didn't you see that none of the three Nejis led by Kai took part in the previous year?

But this year is different. Kakashi, Asuma, and Yuhi Kurenai all recommended their students to become genin, but as soon as they finished speaking, Iruka stood up and strongly opposed it.

The reason why Iruka is so opposed is not for others, but for Naruto. Even though these people were once Iruka's students, the relationship between Naruto and Iruka is different.

"Iruka, I hope you remember one thing. They are no longer your students, but my students. Their affairs have nothing to do with you." Kakashi looked at Iruka calmly.

, said so.

"But they have just graduated for a year and are not strong enough. Why not wait one more year? Why don't Kai's students wait one more year?" Iruka argued with reason.

Even if he is only a chuunin, Kakashi is a jounin.

"Okay, don't argue. Since we have different opinions, let's do an early test." Looking at Iruka and Kakashi arguing, the Third Hokage couldn't help but say this.

As soon as the Third Hokage opened his mouth, Iruka had no choice but to agree, even though he wanted to let Naruto wait until next year to take the Chunin Exam.

"There is no need to test Uchiha Sasuke, his strength is definitely enough." Kakashi said.

"Chunin Exam, are we?" Class 7 always gathered at the meeting place. After hearing Kakashi's words, Sakura couldn't help but be stunned. Of course Sakura knew about the Chunin Exam, but because she was very clear, Xiao Sakura

Sakura was very surprised. Just as Iruka said, they had just graduated for a year and it was a bit early to take the Chunin exam. It was not a war period.

"Yes, I have recommended you, but you need to decide for yourself whether you want to participate." Kakashi looked at the three of them and said.

"So they are people who are here to take the Chunin Exam. That's great." Naruto said eagerly. Looking at him, you could tell that he didn't know anything about the Chunin Exam. He only knew that he could find Kankuro.

, and Gaara, who didn’t even look at him, took revenge.

"So Naruto is participating, what about you?" Kakashi continued, looking at the ark looking up at the sky with the old god there, and Sakura with a troubled look on her face.

"You don't need to decide now. The exam will be held on July 1st three days later. You can think about it carefully during these three days. If you decide to participate, go to Room 01 of the Ninja School at eight o'clock in the morning three days later to register. By the way, I

Let me tell you in advance, because this is the Joint Chunin Examination, life and death are at your own risk, even for Konoha ninjas."

"Sasuke, what did you say?" After Kakashi left, Sakura immediately asked Ark on the side.

"Of course I'm participating, I will definitely become a chuunin." Naruto said before Ark could say anything.

"Don't worry, you will definitely not become a chuunin, ten thousand years of genin, and then become the seventh Hokage." Fang Zhou looked at Naruto who looked confident and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Of course I will participate." After Naruto finished speaking, Fangzhou immediately said.

How could he meet Orochimaru if he didn't take the Chunin Exam? Although he didn't want to leave Orochimaru's curse mark on his body, it didn't mean that he wasn't interested in Orochimaru.

Not to mention Orochimaru's technological strength, just the psychic scroll in Ryuji Cave, even if he didn't look for Orochimaru, it would be difficult for him to get the psychic scroll in Shigu Forest and Miaomu Mountain.

At first, Fang Zhou was very repelled by Orochimaru, after all, Orochimaru was eyeing his body, but after thinking about Ryūchi Cave, Fang Zhou had to go to Orochimaru, but he was very particular about how to get there.

Konoha may soon have a second Uchiha clan spy. (To be continued)
