Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"Be good, I'll grill some meat for you when we get back."

Kazan patted Hakimi, telling him to go back first and not to hunt in the Death Forest for the time being.

"If we go this way, we won't encounter any ninjas from other ninja villages."

"Ow~"

Hakimi reluctantly licked Kazan's face, then leaped and disappeared into the forest.

"Let's go too."

The three entered the central building and handed over the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth they had collected to the person in charge.

"No problem at all. Congratulations on passing the second test."

"Now you should all get some rest. The assessment in the Death Forest will last for another four days."

After all, they were the next generation of their own ninja village, so the proctor was very kind and thoughtfully prepared rooms and food for them to rest.

It would be a waste to sit around for more than four days.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"........."

Kazan created more than ten shadow clones and sent them back to the back of the mountain to cultivate.

He then took out a sealed scroll, unsealed it, and retrieved the weight-bearing items that he had asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to prepare for him.

It has both hands and feet, as well as clothing and armor, everything is complete.

"what is this?"

Inuzuka Tsuru curiously walked over and touched it, but the moment he took it, he felt something was wrong.

"This thing is for carrying weight..."

But why is it so heavy?!

"Kazan, do you usually carry this with you during your training?"

"It's only recently started; I haven't been wearing these weights before."

You're kidding me!

Seeing Kazan still moving swiftly despite wearing the weights, Inuzuka Tsuru's lips twitched.

The lightest of these loads weighs at least 100 kilograms, while the heaviest may have reached 500 kilograms.

Her intuition was accurate; Kazan's lightest load did indeed reach 100 kilograms, while his armor weighed over 500 kilograms.

These are all based on the weights Rock Lee wore during the Chunin Exams, except that he wore even more weights and had a stronger physique.

Once everything was ready, Kazan began his daily training.

Aburame Shiki didn't say anything, this time she was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

I stared blankly as Kazan practiced his boxing, push-ups, sit-ups, and shuttle runs...

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage Building.

"Has Daimyo arrived yet?"

"Not yet. Based on our pace, it will take another 5 days to reach Konoha."

"Is everything going smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly. We encountered a group of bandits along the way, but they were easily dealt with by the ANBU ninjas."

"That's good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

The Chunin Exams are of extraordinary importance.

He invited the daimyo to come in person because he hoped to speak directly with him.

Konoha must persuade the Daimyo to allocate funds from the Land of Fire to prepare for the upcoming war.

Other than that.

"What about the people from the other ninja villages?"

"They've all come, but most of them only sent representatives; the Shadows didn't come in person."

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to represent my own ninja village."

The candidates are all in place; the next step is to demonstrate our strength and then discuss alliances with them.

"What about the Chunin Exams?"

"We've already reached the second stage. News has come from the Death Forest that Lord Kazan's team has passed the second round."

Nowadays, the Dark Guard addresses Kazan with the suffix "-sir".

My status is different now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not announce it, but he also did not tacitly agree to it.

Now everyone in Konoha knows that Kazan has become Hiruzen Sarutobi's fourth apprentice.

Given time to grow, Kazan will surely become one of Konoha's great figures in the future.

"Really? I understand."

Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed the ANBU, then channeled his chakra into a crystal ball and used a telescope technique to spy on them.

In the video, Kazan is seen boxing in the lounge.

"Looks pretty good, very energetic."

Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a satisfied expression.

With this talent and diligence, given time, Konoha will surely produce another top-tier fighter who is no less powerful than the Sannin.

Just then, another ANBU member appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi with a "whoosh".

"Lord Hokage!"

He knelt on the ground, his expression hidden behind a mask, but his tone was serious and not at ease.

"What happened?"

"We have received reliable intelligence and, after investigation, confirmed that among the genin participating in this Chunin Exams, there is a Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails from Kumogakure!"

A Jinchūriki?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted instantly.

Kumogakure is the most domineering and forceful of the five great ninja villages, without exception.

Ever since they obtained the Tailed Beasts, they have been researching how to make them a regular fighting force.

This research caused numerous casualties in Kumogakure. However, the madmen of Kumogakure never gave up.

at last.

Among the Jinchuriki of this generation, a prodigy emerged: Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Aside from Madara Uchiha, he is the second person in history to be able to perfectly control a tailed beast.

They are now sending out the Two-Tails in the Chunin Exams.

"In other words, the Hidden Cloud Village has completely mastered the technology of controlling tailed beasts!"

Chapter 37 Eight Gates Formation Acquired

The Hidden Cloud Village sent a Jinchūriki to participate in the Chunin Exams.

This news is incredible.

The destructive power of the Tailed Beasts is undeniable, and every ninja village that possesses them has enjoyed that unique treatment.

If the Hidden Cloud Village can prove that it can perfectly control the two tailed beasts, then their chances of winning the war will greatly increase.

then.

Those wavering ninja villages will choose Kumogakure, and Kumogakure's troop numbers and combat strength will increase significantly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decisive move.

"Go and call Might Guy over here!"

Right now, Konoha has no better option.

He was well aware of Kazan's combat strength; he had already reached the Jonin level.

Even Yuhi Shinku has stated that in a life-or-death battle, she would most likely be the one to die in the end.

However, if the opponent is a Jinchūriki, a Jinchūriki who can perfectly control a Tailed Beast, even Kazan, no matter how strong, is no match for him.

The only chance for Kazan to master the forbidden Eight Gates technique.

In this way, even if we are ultimately defeated, the situation will not be one-sided.

Konoha has thus achieved its goal of demonstrating its power.

A short while later.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Might Guy arrived at the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage!"

Matt Day knelt down, appearing somewhat agitated.

A genin who has been a low-ranking ninja for thousands of years is suddenly summoned by the Hokage. This may be his chance.

“Dai, it’s been a long time since we last met.”

"Yes, Hokage, it has been almost 30 years."
