Chapter 303: 303
A few days later, the teams from Kirigakure set off, led by the sixth Mizukage Tsunade, assisted by Pakura, and all the thirteen Genin members dispatched.
However, including the rest of the entourage, there were no more than twenty people in total.
It was a quiet trip.
A cruise ship was sailing on the endless sea, and everyone of Kirigakure went out of the cabin, walked around on the deck, looked at the scenery and chatted.
"It's really boring to not let me participate, otherwise I will definitely blow up the whole Konoha in that Chunin exam."
Deidara groaned, leaning on the railing feeling bored.
"Then you can go back to Kirigakure, Tsunade-sama and Sensei shouldn't say anything." Hozuki Suigetsu's eyes flashed, and he encouraged him with a smile.
"No, I have to go see Akaichi and Kurotsuchi. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't know how they are doing. Besides, it's not bad to go to Konoha."
Deidara muttered to himself, not being fooled by Suigetsu.
"Diedara, don't just play and forget about our mission."
Haku, who was on the side, came over and reminded kindly, "Captain Kaguya, you, me, Kimimaro and Gaara, although the five of us will not participate in the Chunin exam, we must protect the safety of others and ensure that everyone is safe and sound and go back to Kirigakure. After all, the whole ninja world is targeting our Kirigakure, and it is likely that we will face a very unfavorable situation at that time."
"Are we the enemy of the world?" Gaara folded his arms and looked at the sky in the distance.
Kaguya looked out at the sea, looking thoughtful.
Before leaving, Hoshigaki Kisame gave her a secret mission, asking her to get rid of the man named Uchiha Madara. The opponent has Rinnegan, and it is very likely that he will appear near Konoha during the Chunin exam, and his strength should not be underestimated.

She recited the name silently in her heart and thought about the battle strategy.
At Kirigakure.
Kisame stood on a star-gazing platform at the top of the divine tree, raised his head and looked up at the endless sky.
'They are here'.
He could sense in the dark that the members of the Otsutsuki clan seemed to have arrived earlier than the original, and were rapidly approaching the earth.
'Well, let's go fix them.'
Kisame snapped his fingers, leaving a shadow clone to sit in Kirigakure, then entered the door of space and disappeared.
Recently, Konohagakure has become more lively than ever because of the upcoming Chunin exam.
On Konoha's side, nearly 300 shinobi were dispatched to participate in one breath. After all, the peace of the ninja world has lasted for nearly ten years. The number of ninjas has been increasing, and the "consumption" has become great, so there is a feeling of overcrowding .
The Konoha Twelve mentioned in the anime are also among the contestants.
On Sunagakure's side, after absorbing the ninjas from the original Amegakure, they dispatched 200 people. There are many ninjas who are good at wind release, earth release, water release and assassination, and their overall strength is also very strong.
Iwakagure also dispatched about 200 people, led by the Fourth Tsuchikage. The most notable ones under his command are the two geniuses Kurotsuchi and Akaichi, who are considered to be the favorites to compete for the championship.
From Kumogakure, there were two hundred muscular men. They were not easy to mess with, but their leaders, Samui and Mabui, were even more eye-catching.
By comparison.
Kirigakure seemed to be too low-key, they did not attract anyone's attention, they arrived at Konoha in the middle of the night, and came to the hotel where they were staying.
Moreover, the number of contestants in Kirigakure is very small, only a mere eight members, which is even less than the contestants in many small ninja villages.
However, the other four Ninja villages did not dare to underestimate Kirigakure.
As soon as Tsunade and the others checked into the hotel, the intelligence officers of the major Shinobi villages took action to conduct all-round surveillance on the entire group and collect information on everyone.
Tsunade was too lazy to pay attention to this and pretended not to notice.
Because her disciples possess absolute strength, no matter what the Four Ninja Villages think of, their failure is already doomed.
The next day.
"The Chunin exams are only two days away. During this period, you can move freely. But remember: first, don't leave Konoha; second, don't make trouble."
Tsunade asked the disciples to gather together, stretched out two fingers, and lectured to them.
She is not worried about the safety of these guys, it's the safety of others in Konoha that she is worried about.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Everyone agreed in unison, and immediately dispersed.
After all, they were a bunch of eleven- or twelve-year-olds, and they were at a lively and active age, so everyone was excited and couldn't wait to run out to play.
Deidara ran the fastest as always, and was the first to rush out of the hotel to find Kurotsuchi and Akaichi.
"Hinata-sama, do you want to go out to play? I heard that Konoha's commercial street is very lively"
Toneri came to Hinata and invited her nervously.
"Sorry, Toneri."
Hinata suddenly interrupted Toneri, and replied with a lonely expression, "I want to be alone for a while."
After speaking, she quickly left the hotel and disappeared into the street.
"Gaara, let's go shopping, it seems to be very lively outside."
Temari and Kankuro, one to the left, one to the right, put their hands on Gaara's shoulders.
"I don't really want to." As soon as Gaara spoke, before he could refuse, he was forcibly dragged out of the hotel by the two of them.
Seeing Kaguya standing there alone, Karin ran over and showed a sweet smile:
"Captain, we want to go shopping, do you want to come with us?"
"Ok."
Kaguya nodded.
She didn't tell Karin and the others her true identity, because Kisame suggested that she should keep the status quo and get along with everyone, so as not to put too much pressure on them and become good friends with them.
So, the first group of three plus Kaguya, a group of four walked out of the hotel, played along the Konoha River, and spent a pleasant morning.
At noon, after the four of them had lunch, they were ready to go back to the hotel to rest.
They walked through an alley side by side, talking about impressions of Konoha.
Kimimaro said, and then turned around and followed Kaguya away without looking back.
"Your name is Uzumaki Naruto, right?"
Karin squeezed her fist, took a step forward, pointed her finger to Naruto and said, "I'm Uzumaki Karin, remember this name, because I'll beat you to the ground. Take my punch!"
She rushed towards Naruto like lightning, and punched the latter with a powerful purple airflow erupting from her body.
'Not good.'
Naruto turned pale with fright, and was unable to resist in a hurry. As a result, he was naturally punched by Karin without any suspense, and slammed into the wall with a bang.
"What, that's all? I've already shown mercy to you, and it only took a third of my strength."
Karin was disappointed. After so many years, this guy named Naruto Uzumaki still hasn't made any progress.
At the same time.
Toneri Otsutsuki, like a ghost, silently appeared in front of Sasuke and gave him a smile: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As soon as the words fell, Toneri and Sasuke narrowed their eyes at the same time, and shot at each other.
"Naruto, are you dead?"
Sakura came back to her senses, and first ran to the wall to help Naruto who was unconscious.
Then she looked back and found that all four of them had left, and only Sasuke was left kneeling down on one knee, covering his chest with his hands in horror, and murmured:
"How is this possible, it only takes one move to defeat me?"
He was recognized as the first genius of Konoha, but in the face of that guy named Toneri, he was knocked down in one go, just like what happened when he faced Kimimaro.
Sasuke could not accept this cruel fact.
On the way back to the hotel.
"Kimimaro, when are you going to defeat Naruto Uzumaki and retrieve the other half of the Nine Tails?" Karin asked curiously.
Kimimaro shook his head and replied without hesitation:
"For me now, the power of the Nine-Tails is not that important anymore, at most it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Naruto Uzumaki is too weak, that guy needs the power of the Nine-Tails more than me, so leave it to him."
After that, he walked into the hotel.
In a training ground outside Konoha.
"Hey-hey."
A girl with short black hair was wearing a red cheongsam. Her legs were long and white, glowing in the sun, full of youthful vigor.
Next to the girl, stood a fat boy with a simple and honest appearance. The most striking thing was that he had a big nose.
They are Iwagakure's Kurotsuchi and Akaichi, Deidara's former classmates.
"In this Chunin exam, I want to get the first place and prove myself to my father. At the same time, I also tell the whole ninja world that our Iwagakure will rise again!"
Kurotsuchi swore with confidence.
"I believe in you, you can definitely do it." Akaichi said at the right time to cheer for Kurotsuchi.
But at this moment, a discordant voice came from above the two of them.
"Tsk tsk, your courage is commendable, but it's a pity if you want to take the first place, it is nothing but wishful thinking."
"Who? Who overheard us!"
Kurotsuchi turned her head angrily, and she was shocked, because she saw a handsome young man with long blond hair standing on the fence of the training ground, looking at her with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
Kurotsuchi murmured and recognized that the blond boy was none other than Deidara who had been away from the village for many years.
"It's very simple, I joined Kirigakure, and like you, I am also a Genin."
Deidara pointed to the forehead guard on his forehead. Seeing that they are surprised, he comforted the two of them intimately, "But don't worry, I'm not allowed to take this exam because I'm too strong, hahaha."
"You bastard, stop being complacent!"
Kurotsuchi shouted as she jumped up from the ground, kicked Deidara off the fence on the spot with a beautiful whip kick, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
However, Deidara climbed up like nothing else, patted the dust on his body, and continued to point at Kurotsuchi: "Your moves really have no power at all. Also, why are you wearing a cheongsam to fight, you are exposing your skin."
Hearing that, Kurotsuchi's face flushed immediately, embarrassed and annoyed.
'After not seeing him for so many years, Deidara hasn't changed at all, and he still looks like he needs to be beaten.'
'Bang.'
When Deidara was laughing at Kurotsuchi, two huge rocks suddenly rose from both sides of his body, and then slammed with him in the middle, covering him inside.
"Akaichi, well done!" Kurotsuchi glanced at Akaichi, who attacked and cheered.
But as soon she said that, under the astonished eyes of the two, Deidara emerged from the ground on the other side, looking unscathed.
"Don't bother, you guys are too weak, all the moves are like tickling for me. Why don't you join Kirigakure, I can cover you guys and kick the two guys I don't like by the way."
Deidara said with a smile on his face, he even planned to persuade Kurotsuchi and Akaichi to follow him.
"Dream on!"
Kurotsuchi's response to this was only two words, simple and direct.
"Hey, it seems that only when the Chunin Exam officially starts, that you will see the strength of Kirigakure Ninja, will you recognize the reality and understand how small you are. I'll come back to you at that time."
Deidara sighed, not intending to waste time for the time being, then turned and left.
"Stop!"
Kurotsuchi and Akaichi looked at each other and chased after Deidara together.
"Stop chasing, or I will really kill you."
Deidara said without looking back, and snapped his fingers.
'Boom!'
The explosion soared into the sky in the training ground, and the generated shockwave shook Kurotsuchi and Akaichi, causing the two to fall to the ground on the spot and become unconscious.
