Chapter 429：

Natsuki brought two groups of people back, namely Kimimaro, Shiro, and Hinata Shu.

Hyuga Osamu was one of the Hyuga clan members who came to seek refuge with Natsuki. It was time for him to be promoted to chunin, so he was allowed to temporarily team up with the two of them.

By bringing him here this time, Xia Mu announced a message to the outside world. There are also Hyuga clan members in the Kingdom of Yao.

After all, so many Hyuga clan members led by Hyuga Teru were active near Yaoyin Village.

There are many ships coming and going in the port, and you can always see the Hyuga tribesmen who are serving as guards with a blank look.

Those who are better informed already know that some of the Hyuga clan members in Konoha have already fled to Yaoyin Village.

But outsiders don’t know the specific reasons.

The other group is an Uchiha team. They are members who graduated from the ninja school last year and have been genin for a year.

It’s completely possible to take the Chunin Exam.

Some news came one after another from Orochimaru.

Natsuki didn't know what the grass ninja had in mind.

He just asked Orochimaru to send spies to Ghost Lantern City to check the news.

The latest news coming over is that there is a lot of construction work going on in Ghost Lantern City due to the expansion of prison capacity.

In order to prevent prison riots, the defense level of the entire prison has been upgraded by more than one level.

Visits are currently prohibited for a period of time, and new criminals will not be admitted.

The spies didn't find out what was going on inside.

However, Warden Wuwei has not been seen yet.

But when the ninjas from Kusanagi Village came here to take the chunin exam, there were only three genin.

However, there are many grass ninja caravans taking advantage of Konoha's opportunity to hold the chunin exams.

I brought many medicinal materials.

Prepare to trade with caravans from other countries.

On the other side, there are many people in Sunagakure.

Sunagakure showed great interest in this Chunin Exam.

Luo Sha personally led the team, and all three of his children had to take the chunin exams.

And there are many people in the accompanying team, all of them are good players.

After all, the entire Sunagakure relies on Luo Sa to make money alone, so it must be protected.

Regardless of whether this is an excuse or not, it is hard to find fault with.

In addition, the Ninja Villages with some strength are Otoyin Village and Yaoyin Village.

Yin Yinmei said that it must be Yakushi Kabuto leading the team.

But in this short period of time, Oto Ninja did not have very good students, and now he is basically just a makeshift student.

Mainly the pharmacist comes to help.

Yaoyin Village is led by Xia Mu.

So many hidden villages are all gathered in Konoha Village.

The major ninja clans here in Konoha are also gearing up, preparing to let their children show the strength of Konoha.

After a period of special training, Tiantian and Hinata each learned a lot and returned to the team.

Natsuki and Orochimaru are angry about what may happen in this Chunin Exam.

Of course, the most important thing is to ensure Naruto's safety.

But with Namikaze Minato here, everything is under control.

Early this morning, while Natsuki was still on the road, he received a message from the Uchiha clan.

The news was delivered personally by the bald man from the money exchange, and it was just given to him by Kakuzu.

Xia Mu laughed out loud after seeing it.

It’s really all put together.

Let’s just say that Obito and others will definitely join in the fun.

Ghost City Wuwei disappeared.

The Grass Ninja Village most likely brought the box over, so their target should be Naruto.

Kazuma's purpose is to leave only Shan Yu in the Fire Country, which will probably summon an army of corpses to destroy Konoha.

​However, I don’t know if I will bring Sora here.

In this case, Obito and Black Zetsu would definitely come over to see if Konoha was weak.

Even if the conditions are right, Black Zetsu will probably make an idea for Naruto.

After receiving such important information from Kakuzu, Natsuki was not stingy and directly asked Yiori to give Bald 21 million.

One million of them is given to Baldhead, and the other twenty million is Kakuzu’s intelligence fee.

As long as the money is large, Kakuzu will be his best informant.

Kakuzu's intelligence this time is not very sufficient, but Natsuki can combine the advantages of prophet.

Know how the opponent will probably attack Konoha.

Moreover, Kakuzu's intelligence said that when the Kusanagi contacted them, they said they had other allies.

This made Natsuki fall into deep thought. In the Ninja Village that he came to this time, the only one with some strength was Sunagakure.

This time Sunagakure brought so many people.

He also brought Gaara, could it be that he wanted to carry out a plan to collapse Konoha?

According to Natsuki's assumptions, Gaara should have become a chuunin at this time.

After all, Gaara's seal was reinforced by Natsuki himself.

According to Gaara's talent, Yashamaru by his side, and Rasa's full cultivation.

To say that one is a chuunin is an understatement, and among the chuunin, one should be considered relatively powerful.

At this time, why are you taking the chunin exam?

It seems that Luo Sha wants to contribute to Sunagakure Village.

Xia Mu thought about it, and it was not difficult to guess what Luo Sha was thinking. What she coveted was the land of the Land of Fire.

But with the grass ninja being so poor, there probably wouldn't be anything that could impress Luo Sha.

​Then what Sunagakure’s stance is is very intriguing.

People outside don't know the relationship between Natsuki and Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru played a very important role among the people who forced Natsuki away.

If Natsuki can run for the Fifth Hokage, then Uchiha will never leave Konoha.

They don’t believe that Natsuki and Orochimaru have a good relationship.

Even after Konoha becomes chaotic, it is still unclear whether Uchiha will tear off a piece of flesh in Konoha.

Kusanagi thinks so, Black Jue thinks so, and Luo Sha thinks so too.

Xia Mu rubbed his chin, it's interesting, all the forces have their own agenda.

This time the Chunin Examination is a lot of fun.

…

Chapter 480 Arriving at Konoha

Konoha Village.

Ninjas from each village have arrived one after another.

Including many caravans, they did not want to give up this opportunity.

Come to Konoha with novelties from various countries and trade them.

Big caravans, small retail investors.

Ninjas and tourists from all over the world flocked to Konoha.

The surge in personnel has doubled the pressure on Konoha's security forces.

Konoha is in a situation where the Hyuga clan is short of personnel.

All the Hyuga personnel patrolling outside the village had to be transferred to the village.

Priority is given to ensuring the safety of the village.

As for the outside of the village, they were all replaced by members of the Sarutobi family, patrolling like a blanket.

There are not many others in the Sarutobi clan, but there are many people.

There were initially five hundred people, until Sarutobi Heng became the advisor elder.

Orochimaru asked the Sarutobi clan to bring back more people because of the safety issues in the Chunin exam.

In the past two months, Sarutobi has been coming back one after another.

For this group of people who came back, the ratio of genin to chunin was almost 6 to 2:1, and their strength was gradually improving.

The number of people is also about five hundred.

In other words, the number of ninjas returned from the Sarutobi clan is already more than a thousand.

Orochimaru felt that this number was a bit outrageous, and Orochimaru knew that there were still people from the Sarutobi clan who had not been transferred back.

How much money has Hiruzen Sarutobi embezzled over the years?

How come you support so many Sarutobi clan members?

After Orochimaru took the position of the Fifth Hokage, he first checked the financial items of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Orochimaru only made a cursory check and saw many inexplicable expenses.

It's not a war time at all, but there are so many border sentries.

The annual personnel supply and equipment supply costs are a large sum.

There are also a lot of funeral expenses and pensions for those who died in war every year.

very messy.

These Orochimaru were all chopped off at that time.

Later, Sarutobi Takaaki came over to offer his services. Orochimaru gave it a beating and asked the Sarutobi clan to bring some people back first.

When the first batch of 500 people came back, Orochimaru knew who the border sentries were.

Now another five hundred people have come back.

How many people has the position of Hokage raised for the third generation?

It must be more than one thousand, at least two thousand to three thousand.

Orochimaru found that he still underestimated the filthiness of the Third Hokage.

There are so many wastes, it will take some time just to be cannon fodder.

…

Luo Sha from Sand Hidden Village, Yakushi Kabuto from Oto Hidden Village, and Natsuki from Yao Hidden Village all arrived.

They had to sit up there and watch during the Chunin Exam.

The next level, the small ninja village without shadows, is usually led by jounin.

There were not many people coming. Basically, they just came to meet Orochimaru and that was it.

There is no room for these people in the stands upstairs.

Although Otogakure is also a small country, it has also become a shadow. It seems that it still has an unclear relationship with Orochimaru.
