Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 80 Chunin Exams: The Prelude to a Great Era!

"So, I need to represent Amegakure and go to Konoha to participate in this Chunin Exams?"

After the talks concluded.

The Amegakure group returned to their lodgings, preparing to pack their belongings and leave Sunagakure.

Ayane Amamiya entrusted the chores to her two teammates and went to the quiet room, where she sat cross-legged on a cushion opposite Hanzo the Salamander.

She sheathed the Stormbringer and placed it horizontally on her lap.

She didn't know about the Chunin Exams at first.

However, having spent five days in Sunagakure and overheard many confidential meetings and important information about the ninja world, he naturally became aware of this part of the content.

And from his status as a genin who has not yet been promoted.

She already had some vague guesses about this.

"good!"

Hanzo nodded in affirmation, "Before the Second Shinobi World War had even completely ended, Konoha couldn't wait to convene the Chunin Exams and extended invitations to the other four great nations and more than twenty smaller nations. If we trace back to the specific time, it was already more than a month ago."

"This Chunin Exam is of great significance."

"It was both a warning and a demonstration from the Third Hokage to us defeated nations, and a display of skill and power to Kirigakure and other small countries that did not participate in the war."

"Delay the imminent arrival of the next war as much as possible."

In fact, similar Chunin Exams, which invite many talented individuals, are a common occurrence.

Their status in the ninja world is roughly equivalent to the Olympics in the previous life; both are grand events where ninja villages showcase their strength.

But upon closer examination, the differences become apparent.

Because the Chunin Exams involve the most fundamental issue of a ninja's power.

So it carries a lot more weight than the Olympics!

After all, in the Olympics of my past life, I never saw any athletes carrying missiles into the stadium...

Amamiya Ayane suddenly remembered the analysis she had done with the goat that day.

World War II ended.

It's not that everyone is satisfied with the outcome of this war.

Instead, all the major powers were hoping for Mito Uzumaki's death.

"Since that's the case..."

"

Ayane Amamiya naturally deduced, "The reason Konoha scheduled the Chunin Exams so hastily, could it be a way of saying that the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki doesn't have much time left?"

Hanzo the Salamander smiled and affirmed, "The situation you described is indeed quite possible."

No wonder girls think that way!

No wonder the Third Kazekage and Tsuchida reached an agreement on the cooperation between them regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki so quickly!

It seems my reaction was a beat slower than these "shadows"!

"Of course, aside from the physical condition of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Hanzo added, "The Hokage probably needs such a grand event to smooth out the conflicts between the many high-ranking officials within Konoha, or rather, between the many ninja clans."

That's why I say that.

This is because the Warring States period has not completely passed, and the influence of the old era has not completely dissipated.

Many of the older generation members of the ninja clans who are still alive still hold onto the traditional ideas of making a name for themselves and bringing glory to their clan.

The Third Hokage initiated the Chunin Exams at this time.

This would both motivate the various ninja clans within Konoha to contribute their talents and facilitate a "reasonable" division of post-war benefits!

This was a carefully orchestrated scheme, but it was also driven by the circumstances.

This forced the Third Hokage to do it.

After listening to Hanzo the Salamander's detailed analysis, Ayane Amamiya suddenly understood.

The girl licked her lips: "So, it seems the contestants I'm competing against are all quite formidable?"

"In some ways, that is true."

Hanzo coughed and said, "Although there will definitely be genin from small ninja villages participating, they will be eliminated very quickly... Those who stand on the final stage, besides the geniuses from the major ninja villages, will be the descendants of the prestigious Uchiha and Hyuga clans."

"Moreover, the Hokage's arrival is so aggressive, which means he must have an ace up his sleeve."

Hanzo the Salamander solemnly said, "This trump card is very strong, so strong that even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is usually very cautious, has gone all out this time."

Ayane Amamiya's eyes narrowed.

A name quickly jumped into her mind.

Minato Namikaze!

Besides him, who else could there be in Konoha at this time?

"Of course, I have absolute confidence in you."

Hanzo's eyes held undisguised admiration: "Your comprehension of Water Release and Lightning Release, your control over chakra, and your understanding of composite ninjutsu far surpass those of your peers."

He concluded with unreserved praise: "Ayane, you are the most brilliant and talented person I have ever seen in my life. Even the legendary Sannin of that time could not compare to you."

"The Chunin Exams are your first step to making a name for yourself in the ninja world."

"No matter what kind of genius that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi finds, he's nothing more than a stepping stone for you."

boss!

You're so good with words!

No wonder the title of the Three Legendary Sannin, which he casually came up with back then, has been passed down in the ninja world for so long!

Ayane Amamiya felt a little embarrassed by his praise.

The girl coughed lightly and said earnestly, "Rest assured, Chief, I will do my best!"

Hanzo smiled and didn't say anything more to pressure her with expectations. Instead, he took out a scroll.

He unrolled the scroll and placed it on the table: "This is Ibuse's spirit scroll. Write your name on it!"

Ayane Amamiya was taken aback.

Ibuki is an enormous salamander and Hanzo's exclusive summoning beast.

In terms of size alone, it is almost on par with Manda!

Then the other party continued, "Although there is almost no danger on this trip... being a ninja is a profession with a high degree of unpredictability, and besides, the Land of Fire is, after all, Konoha's territory."

He said earnestly, "Wells lie underground at a very fast speed. If you encounter any danger, you can summon them and have them take you away quickly."

That can't be true....

Could Konoha really swallow the Rain Kage and the Kaze Kage in one fell swoop?

Although Ayane Amamiya thought this way, she still obediently picked up the pen and signed her name on it.

"And what about you?"

"As for me, you don't need to worry about me..."

"

Hanzo the Salamander chuckled, then declared arrogantly, "In the current ninja world, as long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me!"

He came out of the quiet room.

Ayane Amamiya suddenly felt a pang of emotion...

Looking up, the three legendary ninjas are in their prime!

The Third Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Third Hokage, all great knights of the major nations, were still at the tail end of their ninja prime, their ambitions unfulfilled!

Look down.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki died not long ago, and the AB duo, whose fame will resound throughout the ninja world in the future, is about to make their debut!

Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, and Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Pepper, were both about the same age as him!

On this trip to Konoha, we might just become opponents in the Chunin Exams!

But aside from these few.

Others, such as the parents of the Konoha Twelve, like the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, should also be at the age when they are just beginning to show their talents.

And then, just a few years later...

It's the famous technician Kakashi Hatake, the love-crazed Obito Uchiha, and Shisui's Body Flicker...

The era I've come to...

What a gathering of talents!

From top to bottom, apart from the absence of the main characters consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, the rest are the most dazzling group in the entire Naruto series!

This is precisely the group of people.

It profoundly influenced the ninja world situation for decades to come and set the tone for the future!

Heroes emerge in great numbers!

Dragons and snakes rise from the land!

Ayane Amamiya took a deep breath.

A surge of boundless ambition suddenly welled up in my chest; I couldn't tell if it was nervousness or anticipation for the future.

The curtain rises on a great era with this Chunin Exam!

And I will be the one to lift the curtain!
