I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[The Hidden Cloud Village has been destroyed; everyone can laugh at it to their heart's content.]

A system notification appeared before everyone's eyes.

[Third Raikage - A]: ...

[Fourth Raikage - A]: What is this place?

[Third Raikage - A]: Damn it!

[Fourth Raikage - A]: Eh!? Dad, what are you doing here?

[Third Raikage - A]: Heaven has forsaken my Hidden Cloud Village!

Tobirama Senju: It seems the heavens are on Konoha's side!

The people from Konoha were overjoyed—they had just been trying to get information about the Akatsuki leader from Kisame.

And then... this unlucky guy who was just beaten to death by the Akatsuki suddenly appeared online, didn't he?

then.

the next day.

·······

The Hidden Cloud Village was destroyed, but the Chunin Exams, which had been temporarily suspended, resumed.

A third test will be conducted.

The third test was a one-on-one duel in the arena.

You don't necessarily need to win to be promoted to Chunin; you can be promoted to Chunin if your strength is recognized.

but.

Kitahara Kaede did not participate in the assessment because he was already the Fifth Hokage.

So... after you participate, apart from the Sand Ninja Team, all the other candidates are from Konoha. So what will Konoha do?

Have I ever beaten you?

This is disrespectful to the Fifth Hokage.

And if we lose... then we really do lose...

After careful consideration, Kakashi and the examiner of the third exam decided to expel Kitahara Kaede.

After all, he's the Hokage, so he doesn't need to care about ninja ranks.

However... this is probably Konoha's first Genin Hokage.

······

So, after Kitahara Kaede, the candidates for the third exam entered the examination hall.

Team 7 consists of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

Hinata Hyuga from Class 8.

The first team consists of Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Lee.

Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro are from Sunagakure.

There are nine people in total. Since one person will have a bye in a two-on-two battle, Kotetsu, a Chunin who was guarding the gate, was chosen to play.

·····

"Lord the Fifth Hokage 々ˇ."

"The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning requests an audience," announced a member of the Anbu (secret service).

"The Fifth Hokage."

"The daimyo of the Land of Fire requests an audience." Another ANBU member arrived.

"……what……"

Kitahara Kaede sat in the Hokage's private seat above the dueling arena. Although his subordinates were making announcements, none of them were important.

“Let’s see how the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning fares,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Yes!" the secret agent nodded.

"Then the daimyo of the Land of Fire..." another ANBU member asked.

“The daimyo of the Land of Fire is nowhere to be seen,” Kitahara Kaede said. “Then have Kakashi come over.”

"Didn't he say that the people from Sunagakure had already arrived?"

"Yes!" The female secret agent quickly went to make the arrangements.

Soon after, the representative from Sunagakure arrived.

She was an elderly woman, not very tall, and even looked quite frail.

However, when she saw Kakashi walking towards her, she exuded a terrifying aura.

He looked at Kakashi with hostility and hatred.

"Shigesaku Hatake!"

The old lady was very emotional.

Her identity is Chiyo, an advisor to the Sand Village.

There's no one left in Sunagakure.

The Fourth Kazekage was found dead, while the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was trapped in Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Kazekage's other two children, Temari and Kankuro, were also trapped in Konoha.

There was only one elite Jonin, Maki, who was of no use... so Chiyo, as the advisor, had to come in person.

Because... if she doesn't come, then Sunagakure will be doomed.

She had originally intended to delay because she couldn't raise the ransom, but instead received news that Kumogakure had been expelled from the village... So she couldn't wait any longer and had to come to Konoha first.

But... who would have thought that he would discover that it was Hatake Shigeaki who had harmed his son and wife.

She couldn't control her emotions.

“I am Kakashi Hatake, son of Sakumo,” Kakashi said. “And now I am the Sixth Hokage of Konoha.”

"..." Granny Chiyo.

"I'm sorry." Granny Chiyo's emotions visibly shifted, eventually calming down.

This process lasted only 20 seconds.

They also have a strong ability to endure.

“I was reckless, but my son and daughter-in-law were killed by Hatake Shigeaki in the past, so I just mistook someone for someone else,” Granny Chiyo said.

"Please forgive me, Sixth Hokage and Fifth Hokage."

A thousand generations can bend and stretch.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

Kitahara Kaede is not participating in today's Chunin Exams, but Minato's son, Uzumaki Naruto, is.

As a father, Minato was, of course, online on time.

But the exams haven't even started yet, but we already have other shows to watch.

[Tobirama Senju]: This must be Chiyo, she's gotten so old.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama, do you know her?

【Tobirama Senju】: A genius puppeteer from Sunagakure.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: So she's pretty amazing.

[Tobirama Senju]: No, it was that she insulted me badly, saying that my Impure World Reincarnation was a low-level ninjutsu.

[Big Pillar Silly]: ...

In the realm of emotions, it's not about remembering others, it's about holding grudges.

The others weren't very familiar with Chiyo, so they just watched the show quietly.

·····

"Thank you for informing us of the unfortunate news of the Fourth Kazekage's passing."

"We are all victims."

"The person who killed our Kazekage is utterly unforgivable."

"It is because someone impersonated Kazekage that such a big problem has been brought to your village."

"I'm so sorry," Granny Chiyo said in a string of words.

With just a few words, Sunagakure completely dismissed their plan to launch a surprise attack on Konoha during this opportunity.

Since the Fourth Kazekage is already dead, there's no one to verify the past.

This left Hashirama Senju, who was in the small group, speechless.

Everyone knows that the attack on Konoha was something the Fourth Kazekage had been planning all along, so even though he was killed, the Fourth Kazekage's plan was still being carried out.

As the village's advisor, Chiyo couldn't possibly be completely unaware.

So this can only mean that... Chiyo is shirking responsibility.

Yes.

This surprised Da Zhu Zi.

Is it because these people are all naturally good at political maneuvering?

······

"Konoha is also saddened by the attack on the Fourth Kazekage," Kakashi said.

"However, our Konoha also suffered heavy losses."

"We request that your Sand Village provide compensation," Kakashi said.

"No, well, so... it was all done by a fake Kazekage..." Granny Chiyo tried to deny it.

But Kakashi continued...

"But our Konoha has indeed suffered huge losses because of Shukaku."

"It's thanks to the Fifth Hokage's Wood Release that the village is now presentable; before that, it destroyed most of the village."

"We urge the Sand Village to take responsibility."

"The Chunin Exams are about to begin."

"Please resolve this matter as soon as possible."

“Look ahead… The Tsuchikage and Mizukage are also waiting for things to be resolved so they can enjoy the Chunin Exams,” Kakashi said.

As he said this, he lifted the curtain in front of him, which made Granny Chiyo realize that the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was sitting in the private seat opposite her.

And on the other side was that 76-year-old man, Ohnoki.

"..." Granny Chiyo.

As expected, the destruction of the Cloud Village prompted other ninja villages to react as well.

The fact that both of them came shows that they definitely support Konoha.

In other words... if Sunagakure continues to make excuses, it will face a joint attack from the other three great ninja villages.

The Kazekage's three children are in Konoha, Shukaku is in Konoha, and now... even she is in Konoha...

If Sunagakure were attacked at this time... it would be game over.

It will become the second Cloud Village.

"..." Granny Chiyo.

"we lose."
