Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

"Don't panic, according to the plan I will blast him into the air, and you guys use that move!"

Hearing this, Biwa Juzang and Xiguashan Puffer Ghost looked at each other, nodded, and then found a stone protruding from the lava as a foothold, and began to make seals with their hands at the same time.

As for Kakuzu, his two monsters wearing blue masks had already floated under the Four-Tails.

Looking at the roaring monster in front of him, his eyes lit up, and then he shouted loudly:

"Wake it up for me!"

As he spoke, the two blue-masked men took a deep breath and used the ninjutsu they had prepared earlier on the Four-Tails in front of them.

Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!

It summoned water out of thin air, which spun up rapidly like a tornado, and then flowed back up like a waterfall and rushed towards the four tails.

The huge impact of the water flow even pushed the huge four-tailed creature directly into the air.

At this time, the seals of Biwa Juzang and the servant of Xiguashan Puffer Demon were finally completed.

The two men opened their eyes wide, staring at the four-tailed beast in mid-air and shouted:

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the water from the waves that violently spurted out of their mouths instantly formed a huge ellipsoidal water prison that imprisoned the four tails in mid-air.

The huge water dungeon was like a lake, floating magically in the air.

At this moment, Siwei was like a landlubber falling into the water, floating in it helplessly and unable to escape.

Seeing that the Four-Tails was finally trapped again, Kakuzu no longer hesitated and gathered his five masked monsters together.

Chakra energy of various colors gathered in front of the five masks.

After accumulating power for a few seconds, the five energy cannons intertwined and combined into a blue energy beam, which blasted towards the motionless Four-Tailed Fox in the air.

boom!

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the huge lake floating in the air shattered with this blow, turning into raindrops all over the sky and falling on the ground.

The Four-Tailed Fox was finally knocked down by this powerful blow, and in the air it turned back into Lao Zi's body and slowly fell to the ground.

At this point, the Four-Tailed Fox finally fell into the hands of Akatsuki.

In a dark underground space, Uchiha Madara, who was already white-haired and old, heard the news from the members, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Three more..."

In front of him, a humanoid figure that looked somewhat similar to him was quietly embedded in a huge tree trunk.

Faintly, one could see the humanoid's chest rising and falling slightly.

Chapter 73: Only one qualified candidate?

The Tsuchikage and Mizukage, who are currently in Konoha, are completely unaware that the tailed beasts of their country have been stolen.

In fact, by the time they really knew about this matter, it was a few days later, when the two returned to their village.

As for Kagura, he knew the purpose of Akatsuki organization to collect the tailed beasts.

After all, he was familiar with the plot and knew very well Uchiha Madara's final goal and the purpose of collecting the tailed beasts.

Some people may ask, since Kagura knew all this, why didn't he stop it?

But the question is, how can he stop it?

Except for the Nine-Tails, the rest of the tailed beasts are important fighting forces of each country and are strategic weapons that have attracted much attention.

Even if Kagura relied on her own strength to forcibly go to other countries to collect the materials, it would most likely cause the Third Ninja World War ahead of time, bringing a devastating disaster to Konoha Village.

After all, if you didn't have any ulterior motives, why would you, a village like Konoha, collect all the tailed beasts?

Of course, Kagura could also do this after leaving Konoha and openly becoming a rebel ninja.

In this way, he could distance his actions from Konoha Village.

But let’s not talk about whether Kagura’s current strength is enough to challenge all the big countries alone.

Even if he really succeeded by chance, there would be a fatal problem afterwards.

That is, he has no way to place these tailed beasts.

Unlike Uchiha Madara, Kagura does not have such a thing as the Outer Path Demon Statue.

So even if he was given a tailed beast now, he wouldn't be able to settle it down easily.

Although he now possesses Wood Release, which makes it easier for him to restrict the tailed beasts, restriction and sealing are two different things.

Even the ninja god, Hashirama Senju, cooperated with the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan.

Only then can they capture and seal the tailed beasts one by one and sell them to other villages.

But now, regardless of whether Kagura has the strength of Hashirama Senju, he is unable to solve the problem of the seal alone.

To take a step back, even if he solved all these problems, what would be the point?

After the battle in the valley, Kagura knew very clearly that there was still a long way to go between herself and Uchiha Madara's "Six Paths".

If I collected all the tailed beasts in advance, wouldn't that be helping Uchiha Madara in disguise?

After all, at that time Uchiha Madara only needed to defeat himself to easily obtain all the tailed beasts.

And if I did that, I would definitely not get help from others and would have to face such a powerful enemy alone.

So after thinking about it, Kagura came up with his own way to deal with it.

Stay in Konoha and keep an eye on the Nine-Tails.

In order to finally summon the Ten-Tails, Madara needs to gather all the tailed beasts.

In other words, as long as one is missing, he will not be able to successfully fuse the Ten Tails.

In that case, he only needs to stay in Konoha, believing that the Nine-Tails in Konoha Village can also stop his plan.

After all, if he stayed in Konoha, he would have many helpers to fight against Akatsuki together.

This is also the reason why Kagura did not take any major action over the years, even though she knew Madara's purpose.

Okay, we have strayed off topic, let’s get back to the present.

At this time, everyone was completely unaware that Akatsuki was taking advantage of the Five Nations Joint Examination to snatch the tailed beasts. All their attention was focused on the current Chunin Final Examination.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the official start of the Chunin Exam, the Jonin Kato Dan from Konoha walked to the center of the duel arena.

I have to say, this pretty boy...

ahem...

Kato Dan, who has outstanding appearance and good ability, is indeed very suitable to be a referee in such occasions.

After saluting the five Kage on the stage, Kato Dan faced the candidates and the audience and began to introduce the contents of the final exam:

"Next, we will have a 1v1 duel.

As for the matchup list, we have already arranged it in advance by random means.”

As he waved his right hand, a huge screen above the duel arena lit up, showing a battle schedule.

The names of 32 candidates were displayed on the screen, and they were divided into groups of two to compete against each other.

What is surprising is that the battle list is not just about the players competing in pairs.

I saw a solid line extending from each group, and then connecting two by two again to point to a blank grid.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and finally points to the only blank space at the top.

Could this be...

Only one person can qualify for this year's Chunin Exam?

This time, not only the examinees but also the audience on the stage started to discuss.

In the stands, when the five Kage saw the duel schedule, each of them had a different reaction.

In order to cooperate with this joint examination, the other four countries almost did not participate in the planning of this Chunin Examination.

All examination contents and examiner arrangements are decided and arranged by Konoha alone.

Therefore, even these shadows, like the rest of the audience, did not know the content of this so-called final exam until this moment.

When seeing the battle schedule displayed on the screen, these shadows had the same thoughts as the audience.

Thinking of this, the Mizukage's face quickly darkened.

As the weakest party, Karajima Yagura was very clear about the strength of the Genin in the Hidden Mist Village.

It can be said that except for the young man named Qing who has some strength, the other Genin are mediocre.

There's no way, genius doesn't appear so easily.

The few Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had finally appeared over the years and whom he had placed high hopes on had either died or betrayed him for various reasons.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Kagura behind him with dissatisfaction.

Facing his gaze, Kagura, who had noticed it, remained calm, as if she didn't know it.

Although the Water Kingdom has almost become the most recognized weakest superpower in recent years, it would be too embarrassing if it were eliminated too quickly in such a situation.

So after bowing his head and pondering for a while, Karajikara couldn't help but speak to Sarutobi Hiruzen in the center:

"Hokage-sama, is there something wrong with this form of examination?

After all, this is a joint exam for five nations. If only one candidate is qualified to be promoted to Chunin, it would be a bit too much."

Hearing his words, Fengying beside him also echoed:

“I think what Mizukage-sama said is correct.

After all, the Chunin Exam is only held once a year. If this is the case, many talented Genin will have to wait another year before they can take the exam again.

It seems…”

After hearing what the two said, Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who was sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not say anything, but the expression on his face seemed to indicate his agreement.

But at this time, the Raikage Ai on the other side spoke.

The tall man looked down at the expressions of the several shadows, and then said with some disdain:
