I, the dragon man!

After taking away Black Zetsu, Black Zetsu used his various clones to continue to sort out detailed information about Konoha's destruction plan.

Under Black Zetsu's deliberate search, even Orochimaru's technology was infiltrated into a sieve by the ubiquitous White Zetsu.

In the ninja world, there is really no news that Bai Zetsu cannot find out.

Therefore, after confirming that the Konoha destruction plan was indeed difficult to cause too much harm to Konoha, Gawain would naturally allow the plan to start normally.

So, finally, the chuunin exam came as scheduled in the tense atmosphere of countless genin.

Of course, the rhythm cannot jump to the climax all at once, nor can the Chunin Exam be completed overnight.

First of all, what Naruto and others have to go through is of course the cultural exam.

Before this, Naruto had never investigated the content of the exam. After going through a considerable amount of training, Naruto, who thought he was making rapid progress, did not think he could fail the exam at all.

result…….

The moment he walked into the examination room, Naruto completely felt the horror of exam-oriented education.

Why have I learned a lot of ninjutsu and gotten rid of the reputation of being a bad guy in actual combat? Even the arrogant and arrogant Byakugan Neji may not be my opponent anymore.

As a result, I actually had to take the cultural class?

I have never studied at all!
Wait, no, I seem to have passed the six years of exam-oriented education in Konoha Village.

So where did I study in those six years?
Naruto, who was shocked by the written test, did not shout that he would not give up like in the original work.

Naruto in the original time period was still the last person in people's eyes. He was still eager for people's recognition, so he preferred to stage some big scenes.

But now Naruto, who was favored by Gawain, was only worried that he would embarrass Gawain if he did not do well in the exam.

But in the end, even though he couldn't answer a single question, Naruto still managed to stay in the examination room with sweat dripping down his face. He accidentally broke the last rule of the written examination.

After all, Naruto is now protected by Gawain, so Naruto is only worried that he will embarrass Gawain, but he is not worried that he will really bring his teammates with him and lose the qualification to become a chuunin forever.

After all, Grandpa Gawain loved him the most.

Oh, and there’s Sasuke, Grandpa’s second favorite, huh!

……

Not to mention Naruto's experience in this written examination.

After the written examination, Naruto and a group of juniors naturally came to the examination room for the second examination.

Although the examination room in the Forest of Death was full of dangers, with the sudden appearance of Gawain, Orochimaru did not personally come to disrupt the examination room after all.

Although Orochimaru actually doesn't believe that Gawain is as powerful as the rumors say, at least the guy who can be entrusted with important tasks by the teacher should at least be at the level of Minato's junior.

In addition, Jiraiya is still staying in the village.

Therefore, Orochimaru gave up his plan to cause trouble in the Death Forest, and Naruto's team successfully passed the second assessment.

After the second exam, the next step is the arena battle. Undoubtedly, the result is no different from the original plot.

After the first stage of the arena battle is over, it’s time to wait for a month!

The Chuunin Exam is not so much an exam as it is an alternative youth version of the Ninjutsu Olympus Competition held between the five nations.

No matter which village hosts it, they are willing to delay it for a longer time. The merchants who come and go during this period alone can bring a lot of benefits to the host village.

For a whole month, Naruto and Xiaoqiang no longer trained together, and Xiaoqiang each held his own breath.

Except for Sakura, each Xiaoqiang has his own family behind him. At this time, of course they will return to their family to participate in orientation training.

After all, the next battle is an arena battle that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If Xiaoqiang is drawn, you will lose and I will win.

Even Sasuke privately approached Kakashi to make up lessons in thunder escape. After all, although Jiraiya was famous, after Sasuke inquired about it, he learned that Kakashi was no weaker than anyone in his life when it came to thunder escape.

In this way, the Xiaoqiang people parted ways, and Naruto also signed a psychic contract with Miao Mushan during this period.

Jiraiya originally wanted to accept Naruto as his disciple. Even if Gawain appeared and recognized Naruto as his grandson, Jiraiya's thoughts would not change due to changes in the outside world.

Just like in the original work, after successfully mastering the ninjutsu of summoning various types of toads, Naruto had the confidence to continue competing for the exam.

And Orochimaru and others...

Orochimaru and others also started their own plans during this period.

……

Danzo raised his hand and gently combed his hair.

Today, Orochimaru will follow the agreement and launch an attack plan on Konoha with the Fourth Kazekage.

And now, although he was still sitting underground, under the light on the ground, Hiruzen was actually in danger!
That's right, as one of the initiators and executors of the plan, Danzo until now has no idea that the Fourth Kazekage was actually secretly taken care of by Orochimaru.

If he had known, Danzo would not have allowed the plan to collapse Konoha to be carried out smoothly.

Because after losing the Kazekage, the Sand Ninja could not even think of causing considerable harm to Konoha, and only Orochimaru himself would hurt Hiruzen at best.

After Gawain arrived, the Fourth Kazekage had become a tool used by Danzo to resist Gawain. Danzo did not believe Hiruzen's statement. How could a young man like Gawain become as powerful as the first generation? Hiruzen was just building momentum for the heir. Danzo had seen similar things happen many times.

In the original plot, if the Fourth Kazekage had not led the sand ninja to cause considerable harm to Konoha, then Danzo would not have been able to direct his hatred to Tsunade, who was in danger but was not in the village.

As long as Konoha's injury is deep enough, Danzo, after standing up to help those in need, can stand on the moral high ground and criticize everyone who failed to end the disaster.

So, if Danzo knew that the Kazekage was actually dead.

Then he might have to send his root members to take action and take the initiative to add more hardships to the village...

In short, Danzo, who knows nothing about anything, is still dreaming of becoming Hokage, a dream that he would never be bored with even if he dreamed about it for the rest of his life.

And he was talking about Orochimaru with a look full of anticipation.

As the Fourth Kazekage, he sat next to Hiruzen, just like a real Rasa, and greeted the teacher indifferently, and then continued to look indifferently at Gawain who was presiding over everything in front of the ring.

Originally, this competition was supposed to be hosted by Moonlight Hayate.

But in order for Gawain to meet more people in the village and leave some good impressions on people.

Therefore, this time the hosting job was handed over to Gawain, the Hokage's assistant.

At this point, although Hiruzen didn't want to overkill his talents, since this was Gawain's initiative, Hiruzen naturally had no reason to refuse.And what did Gawain think?

Looking at the children in front of him who were seriously waiting for the battle, Gawain gave Gaara a deep look.

If nothing else goes wrong, Gaara will have an accident soon. When the time comes, when Orochimaru attacks the third generation, Gawain can take care of the one-tailed Shukaku.

On the one hand, it prevents the one-tailed Shukaku from causing too much damage to Konoha. On the other hand, Gawain can also use Shukaku to simply prove his strength and lay a mass foundation for himself to become Hokage.

Of course, Shukaku only has an average mass base.

If he wants to be promoted to Hokage with a legitimate name, he must not only subdue the tailed beasts, but also capture Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha who has become a rebellious ninja.

The fastest way to become famous is to become famous by following the reputation of your predecessors.

Is not it?
In short, after sorting out his thoughts with a smile, Gawain gave the order to the playing field to start the game.

For a time, all the little heroes used all their methods and fought into a ball just like in the original plot.

And during this period, as expected, Shukaku burst out from Gaara's body!

Originally, at the moment when Shukaku exploded, the Sand Ninja should have cast an illusion on the audience present.

But on the one hand, Magee had no chance to attack Gawain, the Hokage's assistant, which resulted in him not occupying the host seat instead of Moonlight Hayate.

On the other hand, Gawain also doesn’t want others to be able to see the image of the saint appearing before him.

In short, there was no genjutsu to put people to sleep this time. Shukaku's huge body and the sand ninja who brazenly started the war also succeeded in scaring all the audience and civilians present into cold sweats.

At the same time, near Gawain, Kakashi, who was watching the game seriously, frowned.

The next moment, he, Akai and a series of other elite jounin arrived in front of Gawain as quickly as possible.

Facing them, Gawain waved his hand gently.

"I'll deal with the tailed beasts. You subdue the sand ninja attackers. All chunin and ANBU chunin present will evacuate the civilians."

The words fell just as Kakashi and others were preparing to leave after saluting.

On the high platform where the Hokage and the Kazekage were sitting, Hiruzen had already looked at the Fourth Kazekage with a gentle smile on his face with his angry old eyes.

Originally, he wanted to scold the Fourth Kazekage.

When I saw the smile on Kazekage's face, Hiruzen was stunned...

He was so familiar with that smile. In this era where his disciples were even better than his son to some extent, he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, only had three disciples!
As for why the disciple is better than the son?

Don’t you see that throughout the ninja world, there are countless disciples of the Kage who have inherited the position of the Kage.

But except for Gaara, the special case of Kumo Ninja and Sand Ninja, which Kage's son has ever inherited the Kage's position?

In other words, except for the Kumo ninja, to the other kage in the ninja village, the disciple is really better than the son's heir to a certain extent.

Therefore, one can imagine how much Hiruzen loved his disciples.

Just now….

The disciple he once loved so much is back, in the way he least expected!
Looking at Orochimaru who always kept a malicious smile in front of him, but actually seemed to have countless things to say, Hiruzen's lips trembled twice before he breathed out with difficulty.

"It turns out it's you, Orochimaru, but... why do you want to see me again in this way?

You... you can't win no matter what.

Even though I am already old and decrepit, Konoha already has an incredible new heir that surpasses all previous Hokages!
Why do you want to come back now!
Are you going to come back in the future to seek revenge on me?
Or do you really want to die in Konoha? "

Having said this, Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru sadly.

He deliberately let Orochimaru go back then, because he really didn't love his disciples as sons, and he couldn't do anything to them!

If it weren't for his connivance, in this era where obedience to orders from superiors is the basic rule for ninjas, how could the Sannin develop such willful habits one after another.

but now…….

Now that you have become a rebel ninja and established your own ninja village, how great would it be to live a safe life in a place where the next Hokage has not seen you yet?

but now…….

Looking at Orochimaru who still didn't understand anything in front of him, Hiruzen felt extremely sad.

What on earth should I do to save the life of this useless disciple in front of Gawain?
It would be great if Gawain was trained by himself like Minato. As long as he was willing to decisively give up all the political legacy of his predecessor Hokage, maybe he could get Orochimaru's life in exchange.

But I am not!

I have no right to speak in front of Gawain!
This disciple of mine may not have a chance to survive this time!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with increasingly sad eyes.

Noticing the teacher's eyes, Orochimaru finally felt that something was wrong.

The teacher looked at himself as sadly as if he were looking at a dead person, but why?
The aging teacher is by no means his opponent, and the one-tailed Shukaku is enough to entangle Jiraiya's hands and feet.

So, does the teacher think that he should kill the kid named Gawain?
Ah!
The teacher must not know that I have reincarnated the first generation, the second generation, and the fourth generation Hokage!
To deal with the teacher, he alone is enough. The first, second, and fourth generations are extra gifts he prepared for the newly appointed Hokage assistant!

Moreover, I tried my best to think highly of that brat, because I used the body of the Fourth Kazekage as a container to summon the return of the first generation of dirt!
Using the shadow of a village as the first-sama's filthy container, he could at least be able to display eight percent of the first-sama's strength.

In addition, he also specially created cloned ninjas that incorporated certain Uzumaki family genes and had a considerable amount of chakra to serve as containers for the second and fourth generations.

No matter how strong Gawain is, how can a young man who was secretly trained by his teacher survive such a lineup?
Of course, he would not kill Gawain, after all, he was the junior disciple that the teacher had quietly cultivated over the years.

But I must at least use the power of the first generation of adults to really give my junior brother a new level of knowledge!
In this case, after the Fifth Hokage was beaten, at least he would not underestimate the ninja world.

Maybe after the teacher is gloriously recorded in the history of Konoha with the name of a hero, the newly appointed young Fifth Hokage will realize his shame and courage under his own efforts to create achievements that are even better than the teacher!

With such thoughts in mind, Orochimaru showed a contemptuous smile, "Teacher, I will look at you with admiration. You would never have thought that I, Orochimaru, had finally mastered all the forbidden arts left by the second generation master, and could even secretly collect them." The flesh and blood of the first, second and fourth generations.

When you see the mythical power from the past.

Will you still show such a sad expression to me?

Ha ha ha ha! ! ! ! (End of chapter)
