Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 93 The Last Days of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique

It was the third day since Ayane Amamiya arrived in Konoha.

With the arrival of the Cloud Village ninjas last night, all the ninjas from the four major ninja villages and twenty-one minor ninja villages participating in this Chunin Exams have now arrived.

According to statistics.

There are a total of 46 teams participating in this Chunin Exam, with more than 100 genin.

What's interesting is that there aren't many ninjas from Sunagakure, Kumogakure, or Kirigakure participating in the competition.

The three major ninja villages combined only have seven people.

There are exactly two small teams, plus Sasori who teams up with Ayane Amamiya...

On the other hand, Konoha, as the local host, had far too many people participating in the Chunin Exams.

There are traditional teacher-student task classes, as well as some talents trained within the ninja clan, totaling more than thirty people!

In the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with his three friends, the Sannin, Sakumo Hatake, and a group of elite Jonin, were gathered together discussing the arrangements for tomorrow's Chunin Exams.

These are the many high-ranking members of the Hokage's faction in Konoha Village!

Hiruzen Sarutobi held the list, looked at the names on it, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Even the Hyuga are participating? I remember they clearly said before that they would go back and think about it."

Mitokado Homura chuckled lightly: "Perhaps they feel they've been out of the spotlight for too long and are unwilling to just watch the Uchiha clan steal the limelight?"

The Sharingan and Byakugan are both famous dojutsu in the ninja world.

Although they had different focuses, the Uchiha were undoubtedly slightly superior to the Hyuga.

"Does he want to defeat the Uchiha in a head-on confrontation and vindicate the Byakugan?"

The Hokage tapped his pipe, his expression meaningful: "They actually sent out a member of the main branch of the clan, along with two main branch guards who are almost at the level of special Jonin..."

Danzo glanced at his old friend and instantly understood his intentions.

He subconsciously instructed Mitokado Homura beside him, "When we move on to the individual battles, make sure to assign a few more Uchiha ninjas to the Hyuga clan!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Danzo regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself!

Damn it, I'm such a jerk!

Yesterday, he was kicked out of his position as head of the Dark Division by the monkey. Why is he agreeing with him again today?

When will this bad habit finally be corrected?

as predicted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately put on a pained expression and rebuked him, "Danzo, watch your attitude! Although we are the organizers of the exam, we can't engage in this kind of underhanded dealing. Everything must be fair and just! Do you understand?"

His noble and righteous appearance instantly aroused the heartfelt admiration of several Jonin.

Danzo's face darkened, he crossed his arms, his face slumped, and he fell completely silent.

However, Mitokado Homura had already realized the truth.

He seemed to nod repeatedly, as if he was agreeing with the Hokage's words.

In reality, a subtle "I understand, I understand" smile was emanating from the pupils behind the glasses.

The Hyuga and Uchiha are both renowned families specializing in ocular techniques.

The relationship between the two is quite subtle!

They seem neither like enemies nor like friends.

If, during the Chunin Exams, in front of the entire ninja world, the Uchiha clan were to eliminate Hyuga ninjas one after another.

At that time, the relationship between the two races will inevitably deteriorate rapidly!

The Uchiha clan will lose another potential ally from a village!

Moreover, the most ingenious part of this plan is that even if someone notices something is wrong, it doesn't matter.

Because of the Uchiha's battle-crazed nature, they don't care about anything else; once they step into the arena, they must pursue victory!

Mitokado Homura thought to himself: Danzo is getting more and more cunning. Thankfully, Hiruzen is still as innocent as ever! I need to help him more; after all, it's not good for the Hyuga and Uchiha to be allied...

"Hmm? The Stormy Alliance Team..."

'

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued looking down the list, puzzled. "Sasori from Sunagakure, Ayane Amemiya from Amegakure... this team only has two people? What's going on?"

"Scorpion is the grandson of Chiyo, the advisor of Sunagakure."

Sakumo Hatake, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "As for the other one, her background is unknown, but based on my observations when I arrived, she is suspected to be Hanzo's disciple."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Anbu, how strong are these two?"

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, the Anbu doesn't have any relevant information at the moment."

Wearing a mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke jumped out from the side, saying awkwardly, "I've already added them both to the high-priority list and ordered the spies from Amegakure and Sunagakure to gather information about their past."

"Um.

'

Knowing that he had just taken office today, the Hokage didn't criticize him too harshly: "Investigate their intelligence as soon as possible. The fact that the Amekage and Kazekage came in person shows that they have a lot of confidence in the two of them!"

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, instructing, "It's okay if we don't have time for the Chunin Exams right now. But these two will definitely be the backbone of Amegakure and Sunagakure in the future. The Anbu must continue to keep a close eye on their intelligence!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shouted, "Yes!"

Despite his loud shouting, he was actually feeling bitter inside.

Danzo, that old man, practically emptied out the Anbu, leaving him with hardly any usable men left!

But the Hokage's orders must be carried out.

After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt that Amegakure was more like an easy target than Sunagakure.

He thought to himself: It seems that my first act as the new official is about to start in the Land of Rain!

As for the remaining people on the list, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't look at them any further.

He stood up and addressed the assembled high-ranking officials, saying, "Our goal for this Chunin Exam is very clear: to flex our muscles and deter other ninja villages from making any rash moves in the short term!"

Koharu Utatane tentatively asked, "In that case, shall we ask Lady Mito to reveal herself..."

"

Before he could finish saying "the last face," he was interrupted by a loud slam of the table.

Tsunade, who had remained aloof until now, slammed her fist on the conference table in anger: "I've said it so many times, Mito-na-san needs to rest! Don't you understand?"

A month ago, after news of Nawaki's death arrived.

Mito Uzumaki, already old and nearing the end of her life, couldn't bear the blow of outliving her child. Overnight, she couldn't even maintain the Yin Seal!

Although the Yin Seal was successfully closed later with Tsunade's help.

But this also means that Mito Uzumaki's body has entered its final countdown.

It could take a year at most, or as little as three months, before they pass away!

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

On the other side, Kato Dan pressed down on Tsunade's shoulder, stopping her from continuing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, pretending not to have heard their argument, and continued with their previous topic.

"It is for this purpose that I have decided to divide the examination process into three rounds."

"The first round is a written exam, which tests the ninja's basic qualities and theoretical knowledge."

""

"The second round is a mixed elimination round, requiring the elimination of at least 85% of the participating ninjas!"

"The third round is individual combat; based on performance, some outstanding ninjas will be awarded Chunin certificates!"

Everyone understood.

Of these three rounds, the last round is undoubtedly the most important.

As for the first two rounds...

The first round of theoretical exams was actually just to save face for the younger ninja villages; they couldn't just eliminate everyone as soon as they arrived, could they?

The second round is for quickly weeding out the weaker participants and eliminating them to move on to the main event.

"As for the examiners for these three rounds of exams..."

'

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment to ponder.

He glanced at the many high-ranking officials before quickly making a decision.

"The first round of examiners are Dan Kato and Kurenai Yuhi! The second round of examiners are Orochimaru and Tsunade! The third round of examiners are Homura Mitokado and Sakumo Hatake!"

The Hokage waved his hand, giving everyone no chance to speak: "Meeting adjourned! Now go back and prepare! The Chunin Exams begin tomorrow, so be on your best!"

After saying that, he remembered something else and added, "Oh, right, Jiraiya, you stay behind!"

After everyone left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said nothing, but led Jiraiya to a secret room on the side of the office.

Jiraiya exclaimed in shock: "Old man! The special training you're talking about, you don't mean locking Minato in a dark room, do you? The kind where you don't get food until you finish!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed out his beard and glared, "How could I be as unreliable as you?"

He explained, "The reason I placed the Water Gate here is because the Book of Seals is here and must never leave this room!"

Jiraiya whispered, "Why don't you just copy down the secret technique on it?"

The Hokage shook his head, his face solemn: "Other secret techniques are fine, but the one Minato is currently practicing is not!"

Jiraiya suddenly became curious.

What kind of ninjutsu could it be that the old man values ​​so highly?

Of course, he also felt a little embarrassed.

Even though he was Minato's teacher, he had hardly mentored him after the initial few missions...

Ugh!

This is not how a teacher should behave!

Following behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya entered the secret room where the Book of Seals was stored.

He saw Minato Namikaze sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a bookshelf, holding a kunai, and resting with his eyes closed.

"Watergate!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if he'd seen a treasure, beamed and asked, "How's your Flying Thunder God technique training going?"

"Lord Hokage! You've arrived!"

Minato Namikaze quickly stood up from the ground and said respectfully, "It's still a stretch. I can't achieve the fluency of the Second Hokage at all, but I can manage to use it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked excitedly, "So it can already be used in actual combat?"

"It is possible."

Minato Namikaze laughed somewhat awkwardly: "But... the actual effect in combat might not be as good as imagined..."

'

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then said, "Show me your Flying Thunder God Technique."

"good!"

Minato Namikaze took a kunai out of his ninja tool bag and threw it at the wall in the distance.

Pfft!

The kunai pierced through the wall.

Minato Namikaze closed his eyes slightly, and less than half a second later, his figure suddenly appeared next to the Flying Thunder God Kunai!

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately showed a look of amazement.

He patted the boy's shoulder firmly, confidently saying, "That's enough!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiraiya behind him and laughed, "Alright, have a word with your good disciple, I won't disturb you any longer!"

After he left.

Minato Namikaze stepped forward, beaming with joy, and exclaimed, "Jiraiya-sensei, you're here too! Has 'The Tale of the Guts-Wielding Ninja' been published yet?"

He actually preferred spending time with his teacher to the dignified and distant Hokage.

Although the teacher is often out of touch and most of the time not as composed as I am...

Jiraiya scratched his head upon hearing this.

It's a ghost!

Why is it that everyone is asking me this question first?

He quickly changed the subject: "Let's put that aside for now. Minato, let me ask you, besides training the Flying Thunder God Technique, do you have any other free time?"

"what?"

Minato Namikaze looked completely bewildered: "What do you mean?"

"I had a very powerful technique to teach you, but you're busy practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique right now."

"If I were to study again, I only have one month left, which I'm afraid wouldn't be enough time..."

'

Jiraiya said guiltily, "I specially asked two incredibly powerful seniors to prepare this for you!"

This statement is false.

The main reason was that he felt guilty and thought he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher, so he came up with this as compensation for Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze asked curiously, "What kind of technique?"

Jiraiya chuckled, not without a hint of pride: "Sage Technique!"
