"Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya walked in through the window.

"I will not agree either."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiraiya made his position clear.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't surprised at all: "Okay. But you have to stay in the village from now on."

"Huh?"

The old man's straightforwardness surprised Jiraiya for a moment, but he quickly realized that this was the old man's scheme, using Naruto as a price to prevent him from leaving the village.

"call……"

With a sigh of resignation, Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "It's just a joint Chunin Exam. Kumogakure has no reason to break the peace and start a war. The demands are different. If it were Sunagakure, there might be some possibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was still fixed on him.

After being stared at for a while, Jiraiya had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Alright, alright. Don't worry, I'll give him some pointers."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, but it was clear that Jiraiya did not want to continue the conversation.

He didn't want to become Hokage because he knew very well that the position was never right for him.

"That person from four years ago has reappeared."

"Ok?"

Jiraiya was taken aback: "An Uchiha from another world? That guy whom you, old man, believe has even surpassed the First Hokage in power?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly: "He has indeed reappeared. You should have noticed it as well; the Root organization no longer exists. It was destroyed by him alone."

"The Root is gone? Danzo is dead too?"

Jiraiya's voice was filled with joy, and then he said without any hesitation, "That kind of thing is completely rotten, although it can still be of some use sometimes. If you had acted sooner, old man, things wouldn't be like this now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around: "Would you kill Orochimaru with your own hands?"

Uh!

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment.

Just like himself and Orochimaru, the old man and Danzo, as disciples of the Second Hokage, had too many factors that bound them together.

If it weren't for the power that guy displayed, the old man's first thought right now would probably be how to get revenge.

With too many thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiraiya scratched his head and waved his hand, saying, "So this kind of thing is just too troublesome. I'm going to check on that kid Naruto. I'm off."

Jiraiya vanished in an instant, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi in the office once again.

The Hidden Clouds are provoking...

But he was certain that the Hidden Cloud Village also did not want to start a war, especially not a war with Konoha, which was two countries away from him.

So, what exactly is the other party's purpose?

……

A week later, Kakashi initially refused to recommend Team 7 to participate in the Chunin Exams, but after Jiraiya appeared and took a similarly clear stance, he eventually told Team 7 about the Chunin Exams.

The key to the seal will not be given to Naruto, at least not at this time.

This is the promise Jiraiya made.

While Jiraiya was taking Naruto for training, Kakashi also told him that Sasuke would be coming.

This is a driving force, a driving force for spiritual practice.

As for Sakura and Sai, Kakashi also began his duties as a mentor Jonin, providing guidance.

However, it was clear that Kakashi, who was inside, also received a sharp tongue from Sai, even though Sai was his teacher.

……

Soon, people from various ninja villages began to gather in Konoha.

Of the five great ninja villages, only Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure exist. The others are the grass ninja from the Land of Grass and the newly established Otogakure village.

When Sasuke and his companions arrived in Konoha, his feelings were complicated.

Of course, Izumo Kotetsu, who was guarding the goal, had a more complicated mindset.

Two elite Chunin were instantly killed by a newly graduated Genin. Later, even with two Jonin appearing, he defeated both of them, killing one of them.

A rogue ninja?

That's not right either. In the current Konoha records, Sasuke Uchiha's status as a rogue ninja has been removed. He can now only be referred to as an Uchiha from Kumogakure.

Ha ha……

The Uchiha clan of Kumogakure, how laughable!

One of the founding clans of Konoha has now joined Kumogakure and is even representing the village in the Joint Chunin Exams...

As soon as Sasuke entered Konoha, he noticed the gazes around him. There were no ordinary people, but every Chunin or higher from Konoha would glance at him.

"Don't you have any friends here? I've felt that urge to kill us three times already..."

Omoi was biting into a lollipop, but he felt that the candy in his mouth was no longer sweet.

In his mind's eye, all he could think about was being captured by Konoha and being tortured to the point of death.

"I don't know if those people are still friends now, after all, when I left, I killed the Hokage's son."

After Sasuke finished speaking, he looked at Darui and said, "Sensei, let's go to our lodgings first."

Darui nodded, then looked at Omoi: "Don't overthink it. Konoha doesn't have the power to start a war right now. They wouldn't dare."

Karui, who was standing nearby, slapped him on the back: "You rascal, the teacher told you not to embarrass yourself!"

Omoi looked dejected: "The teacher said to promote rap, and he also told us to talk to Konoha to see if we could get him to open a concert. Do you think that's possible?"

Ha ha……

Both of Killer Bee's disciples twitched their mouths. How could they let a perfect Jinchuriki from another village hold a concert?

How is that possible? Unless the Hokage is missing some part in his brain.

The group first went to the accommodations arranged by Konoha, while Darui went to the Hokage Building to negotiate.

Bored at home, Karui asked Sasuke to show them around, but it was clearly her idea, as Omoi was afraid of being killed by the enraged Konoha ninja.

If I die without knowing why, even if Lord Raikage avenges me, I won't be able to come back to life.

So, Sasuke, who also wanted to test Konoha's reaction, left his residence with Karui.

at the same time.

In the Sand Village's residence, Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, stood by the window, watching Sasuke leave below, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan...

If I could obtain this body, then with the power of those eyes, I would no longer have any weaknesses.

The Uchiha clan... geniuses are only geniuses if they grow up; too many die young.

But... who exactly is that person standing behind the Uchiha clan?

Madara Uchiha?

No, although the ability is strange, it is not to the extent that both Konoha and Kumogakure would be afraid of it.

Even the leader of the Akatsuki organization is lying low at this time; that guy is not the one behind the Uchiha clan.

Having experienced betrayal, family is no longer important to him.

……

Chapter 388: Two Attitudes

"Sa...Sasuke?"

It was to be expected that we would run into acquaintances when we brought Karui out.

As expected, Sasuke turned around and looked over: "It's Sakura, long time no see."

She greeted him casually, but Sakura's face was full of excitement.

He took a few steps forward and tried to hug the person in front of him, but Karui stopped him.

I glanced at the woman: dark skin, not pretty!

Once the conclusion was reached, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Sasuke, saying, "Kakashi-sensei said you would be participating in the Joint Chunin Exams. Naruto has been training hard lately, and so have I."

Sasuke smiled and nodded: "Then keep up the good work. If you perform well in the Chunin Exams, you'll be able to become a Chunin and lead a mission."

"I...that's not what I meant..."

Hesitantly, Sakura looked into Sasuke's eyes: "You...don't you have anything else to say? Naruto...Naruto said he would definitely bring you back..."

Bring it back?

Karui, standing to the side, frowned.

But Sasuke didn't rush to explain. Some things were unnecessary. Karui wasn't the Raikage or Darui-sensei.

"Come back? That word doesn't apply to me. I am now a ninja from Kumogakure, and also your opponent."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura became a little anxious.

"But...but Sasuke..."

She wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to say it.

Naruto said that Sasuke did nothing wrong, but she didn't know the details of the Uchiha clan massacre and Sasuke's departure from Konoha, and no one had told her about it.

There are no "buts".

Karui walked over and said, "The Uchiha are now the Uchiha of Kumogakure, and have nothing to do with Konoha!"

Karui said with a hint of sarcasm, "Besides... can you, or the Naruto you're talking about, represent Konoha's attitude?"

Faced with sarcastic questions, I wanted to say something but found myself speechless.

How can I represent Konoha?
