Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"That would be great!"

On this side, after seeing Jiraiya nod, Naruto immediately jumped up happily.

If you are not careful, the drink in your hand will spill everywhere.

"Can you be more steady?"

Looking at the water-stained table and floor, Jiraiya couldn't help but frown and complain loudly.

"Sorry sorry, I'm so excited!"

Uzumaki Naruto quickly put away the resume and put it aside, then began to wipe the table in a hurry.

"Stop working on it, what would be great?"

Jiraiya waved his hands irritably and placed one hand on his forehead, feeling his temple throbbing.

“I’ll be next.”

Here, Uzumaki Naruto repeated again about the upcoming Chunin Exam and the embarrassing situation of his Kakashi class being short of one person.

“Ah, I see.”

After understanding what was going on, Jiraiya couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, Naruto was holding Sai's resume in his hand, looking very happy.

Even a fool could guess what he was thinking.

But Jiraiya was still unsure whether he should just agree to the other party.

"I say, that, that, the lecherous immortal!"

Here, Uzumaki Naruto smiled, pointed at the resume, and asked irritably:

"This guy named Sai, is he still a Genin now?"

"Well"

probably.

Speaking of which, members of the Root organization never participated in Konoha's ninja ratings or exams before leaving the organization, which is equivalent to a system independent of Konoha.

Although the person in the resume has good abilities, he has indeed never taken any exams.

Strictly speaking, he could probably be considered a Genin.

"should be."

Jiraiya nodded slowly.

"Yes! That's great!"

Uzumaki Naruto celebrated happily once again.

Then he remembered something and asked again:

“So, is he in a threesome now?

“Does he have teammates for this Chunin Exam?

"I mean, why don't we just have him join our Kakashi class and take the exam with Sakura and me!"

Uzumaki Naruto spoke out his thoughts all at once.

Hearing Naruto make this request, Jiraiya fell silent.

In my mind, I re-examined the whole thing.

On the one hand, he was indeed considering directly and completely rejecting Shimura Danzo's proposal.

But on the other hand, he really wanted to know what Danzo's back-up plan was for this move.

To be honest, it was rare for the other party to be so honest for so long, and Jiraiya actually felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Danzo finally started playing chess again. If he didn't dare to accept the challenge, it would spoil everyone's fun.

On the other hand, Naruto proposed at this time that Sai should replace Sasuke and take part in the Chunin Exam with them.

Through this loophole, one can observe Sai's character while isolating him from most of the important political affairs.

Also, there is Hatake Kakashi who can help keep an eye on him.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya had a general idea in his mind, but he still said cautiously:

"How about I ask him for you first?

"It should be no problem."

"Great!"

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto jumped up happily.

He was seen pulling Jiraiya's arm and shouting:

"It turns out that it's right to listen to Sasuke. You have a solution~

"Chūnin Exams, here we come!!"

On the other side, Jiraiya, whose half sleeve was about to be torn off, was feeling very troubled.

He pushed Naruto hard, saying in disgust:

"Hey, let go!

"I haven't promised you yet!"

September 25th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

Root organization's underground base, Danzo's room.

In front of the table, a dim candle was flickering.

In front of the candlelight, Danzo Shimura slowly closed the time-travel novel in his hand.

My thoughts kept jumping back and forth between "Jiraiya is playing tricks on me" and "Could it be possible that such a strange thing really existed?"

Outside the house, there was a knock on the door at the right time.

"Come in."

Danzo put the novel aside and spoke.

Before he finished speaking, a thin, fair-skinned young man pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on one knee and bowed his head at the feet of Shimura Danzo.

"Master Danzo, you're looking for me?"

“Things went better than expected.”

Here, Shimura Danzo spoke in a deep voice:

“I just received news that you have been assigned to Kakashi’s class.

"This is truly a blessing from heaven, coming at the right time for the task I have given you."

"Yes."

I saw the young man kneeling on the ground, his face still buried in the shadows, and I couldn't see his expression clearly.

“The mission will officially enter the second phase starting today.

"Until the end of this mission, your name will be Sai."

Shimura Danzo said slowly.

"Is that Sai?

"clear."

When Sai heard his name for the first time, he immediately raised his head and gave a weird mechanical smile.

Seeing this scene, Danzo couldn't help but feel disgusted and said coldly:

"Don't put on that fake smile in front of me."

"I'm sorry, because the textbook says that to win people's hearts, you must first learn to smile."

Sai regained his expressionless look and raised his head and said:

"Although I have practiced, I still can't use facial expressions smoothly."

textbook.

Danzo snorted in his heart, and then asked again:

"Have you carefully read the relevant documents I gave you earlier?"

"Yes."

Sai nodded and answered seriously:

"I have kept every doubt in mind."

"very good."

Danzo nodded silently.

On the table, the candlelight flickered, and every beat was accompanied by a slight crackling sound, as if the restless soul deep underground was whispering.

The flickering light, illuminating Shimura Danzo's face half hidden in the shadows, added a touch of gloom and ominousness to it.

"Has there been any reply from the Water Kingdom?"

Shimura Danzo lowered his voice further and asked.

"not yet."

Sai answered respectfully.

"Then, follow me first."

Upon learning that Orochimaru had still not sent back the information he cared about, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

Then he supported himself with his crutch with one hand and motioned Sai to follow him.
