Chapter 70 Minato Namikaze's Curiosity About Kiyoshi

Meanwhile, at the Hokage Building.

Many ninjas have gathered here, and most of the Jonin have assembled here.

The Chunin Exams are a major event every year, requiring the reception of many ninjas from outside the village.

During this period, we must also be vigilant against the infiltration of forces from outside the village, and we must be extremely cautious.

If a riot were to occur in Konoha, it would be a huge blow to the village's reputation.

The daimyo will suspect Konoha of negligence and thus reduce funding.

"How about you try being an exam proctor for fun?"

Jiraiya touched his chin.

He was tall with narrow red lines on his face and long white hair that reached his waist, making him look like he was covered in white hedgehog quills.

He was wearing a red outer jacket and wooden clogs.

It seems like there are more people here this time than in previous years.

That way he can see more beautiful women and steal—oh no, I mean gather material.

This is for a masterpiece in his mind, although it is only a prototype and has not yet been written down.

"idiot."

Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head.

Seeing Jiraiya's lecherous look, one could tell he wasn't up to anything.

"It hurts, Tsunade."

Jiraiya immediately suppressed his wandering thoughts and covered the spot where he had been hit.

Tsunade's superhuman strength is immense even in her normal state, and her attacks are extremely painful.

The other Jonin, seeing Jiraiya in this state, habitually ignored him.

The three disciples of the third generation were all powerful, but unfortunately, two of them had personality problems.

A perpetually irresponsible person who has loved spying since childhood.

One is a natural gambler, but he loses more often than he wins.

Only Orochimaru is somewhat serious.

"Sarutobi-sensei is looking over here."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and licked the corner of his mouth.

Jiraiya's expression immediately became much more serious.

Tsunade listened to the conversation between the Konoha high-ranking officials and the Jonin with utter boredom.

She rested her hands on her chest, as if supporting this heavy weight.

"The following are the invigilator's instructions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was satisfied with Orochimaru's composure, but unfortunately Orochimaru was getting too close to Danzo.

The frequent disappearances of infants and ninjas in the village were a cause for concern for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was afraid that his prized disciple would go astray like Danzo.

Then, he looked at another young man with a gentle smile.

Minato Namikaze.

This is a ninja with a pure will of fire.

"Orochimaru, you will be the chief proctor for the first exam. Minato, you will be the chief proctor for the second exam, assisting the other proctors."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order.

With his keen eye, he could see that Minato was exceptionally talented.

The "Flying Thunder God Technique," which is as high as $, requires extremely high talent, and almost no one in Konoha can learn it.

As a result, the technique was made available for Minato Namikaze to learn, and he surprisingly mastered it in a very short time, a technique that had been lost since the death of the Second Hokage.

"Understood, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

Namikaze Minato responded.

He also wanted to see the newborn "Jade".

And take a look at—Kushina has been mentioning Uchiha Kiyoshi a lot lately.

That night.

The Uchiha started a gathering.

In the secret chamber beneath the Nanga Shrine, a dim brazier illuminated everyone's face.

"Remember this, this Chunin Exam is extraordinary and could very well determine the course of the future."

Uchiha Fugaku stood at the very front and said in a deep voice.

More than forty years have passed since the village was founded, and two ninja wars that have covered the entire world have already occurred.

When exactly will war break out?

Is the scale of this outbreak larger or smaller compared to the previous two?

All of this is unknown.

Everyone was blindfolded, feeling their way across the river in the dark.

The same applies to Fugaku.

Listening to Fugaku's impassioned speech, he knew they had to maintain their previous style and bring glory to the Uchiha clan.

Kiyoshi, sitting at the very back, remained expressionless.

If we take the ending of "Naruto Shippuden" as a starting point and work backwards...

You will find that in less than a hundred years since the village was founded, four world wars have occurred.

All of this stems from resources and money. These contradictions, which cannot be resolved through production, can only be addressed through war to plunder Hashirama, distribute the Tailed Beasts, and maintain a balance among them. All that can be maintained is a false peace.

His death sparked a great war, with major powers arguing endlessly and even using the tailed beasts distributed by Hashirama as weapons on the battlefield.

"I hope you will do your best this time."

Fugaku named several ninjas who participated in the Chunin Exams, including Kiyoshi.

"Yes, Lord Fugaku! I will certainly uphold the honor of the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Tetsuka was also on the list.

Fugaku nodded slightly and looked at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi also carried out a C-level mission during this period, and it is said that he completed the mission very well.

The employer was very satisfied with Kiyoshi, who had the Uchiha surname.

"Kiyoshi, I hope to see you wearing the Chunin-specific combat uniform in a few days."

Fugaku spoke up.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi nodded.

Even if he were to become the leader, Kiyoshi would not change into the green ninja vest.

That's too clumsy.

Kiyoshi prefers to wear a thin, breathable chainmail underneath.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on a certain spot among his people.

Uchiha Hazuki seemed to sense Kiyoshi's gaze, feeling as if she were being pricked by a needle.

She lowered her eyes, her hands gripping the black trousers on her plump thighs.

I just hope Kiyoshi doesn't actually pass it.

Kiyoshi was on equal footing with her in terms of status; she was also a Chunin.

Moreover, he is much older than Kiyoshi, so it's obvious who has greater potential and value.

"We need to make a trip."

Uchiha Hazuki thought to himself, mentally preparing himself to spend the money painfully.

Offending a genius is unwise.

As the moon rose high in the sky, the woods outside the Nanga Shrine became even more tranquil.

The clansmen emerged one after another, concluding the gathering.

"Fugaku, are you thinking about something?"

Everyone left, leaving Fugaku alone sitting there rubbing his temples.

Seeing this, Mikoto stayed and asked why.

"I always have this feeling of unease."

Uchiha Fugakudo.

As the head of a clan, he naturally has a broader perspective on the issues at hand.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had hinted several times that war was likely to break out among these ninja clan leaders, urging them to prepare for battle.

If Konoha is defeated, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Every ninja clan leader knew the principle that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

This gave Fugaku a real headache.

"Alright, alright, our clan still has a constant stream of new life, just like Kiyoshi."

Mikoto comforted him.

War may come, but the Uchiha clan, throughout the thousand-year Warring States period, united to resist countless battles.

I believe the Uchiha clan will be able to overcome this difficulty once again.

"yes."

Fugaku nodded.

Kiyoshi's genius is clearly due to his perfect inheritance of the power of two bloodline limits.

Then his potential would be much higher than that of other Uchiha.

He is a promising talent.

Of
