Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 304 Rumors about the Akatsuki Organization
A gray hawk crossed the long yellow sand and stopped for a moment among the green trees and clear river. It flapped its strong wings and flew hard in the direction of Konoha Village.

A gust of cool wind blew into the Hokage's office. Tsunade stroked the dolphin in her arms and let out a lazy and helpless sigh while lying on the chair that fell backwards.

"Tsunade-sama! Are you lazy after just reviewing two reports?" Shizune reminded angrily.

"I said Shizune, how about you become Hokage? Sitting in the office every day, I have two extra rings of fat on my waist." Tsunade cried bitterly.

Shizune was helpless. She was used to seeing Tsunade, who was free and unruly in the past, but now she was trapped in these few feet. She was quite sad like a bird trapped in a cage. But since she chose responsibility, she had to give up her former freedom.

"Master Tsunade, should I read this report from Master Jiraiya first?" Shizune also felt a little distressed.

Tsunade shook her head and raised her upper body to take the report handed over by Shizune, and suddenly frowned as she looked at it.

"What's wrong?" Shizune asked worriedly.

"The Akatsuki organization that Jiraiya mentioned has been taking action recently." Tsunade became serious, "They have their shadow in many mercenary operations."

Shizune pinched her chin and thought: "Jiraiya-sama said that the target of Dawn is Naruto's Nine-Tails. Does that mean that other Jinchūriki are also their targets?"

"Now that they haven't revealed their true colors, there's no way to check if they want to." Tsunade put away the envelope, then thought about it and Wanzi nodded and said, "I'll let you check it out when the time comes."

Shizune rolled her eyes at Tsunade and said, "It's really unlucky to pay attention. He is responsible for Orochimaru and Sasuke's affairs, and he also needs to investigate the Akatsuki organization's affairs."

"How can you call it unlucky to do something for the village?" Tsunade said unmoved.

"Hey!"

A loud voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and a gray falcon had landed on the office window.

Shizune recognized this as Sunagakure's messenger falcon at a glance, and immediately moved forward to pick off the letter.

Tsunade also stood up, picked up the letter and started reading it.

"How is it?" Shizune asked.

Tsunade handed the letter to Shizune and said: "The task of paying attention was completed perfectly. Gaara has taken office as the fifth Kazekage. Sunagakure invites us to jointly hold the Chunin Examination."

Shizune listened and watched, "This is a good thing!"

"Get Kakashi, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai, and all the members of their squad immediately." Tsunade ordered, "I'll have a meeting with those old guys first and ask them to wait here. I."

Tsunade strode out, and Shizune also ordered Izumo and Zite to summon people.

One after another, the Hokage's office was filled with people. Kakashi, Kai and other leading teachers had already brought their team members.

Kai looked around and was very confused, and said to Kakashi on the side: "Kakashi, Tsunade-sama has summoned Konoha elites like you and me this time. It must be a big move. You and I are going to do something big." Let’s work together!”

Kai's mind already reflected the scene of him and Kakashi joining forces to defeat the enemy. How passionate it was!

"Huh? Are you talking to me, Kai?" Kakashi asked as if he hadn't woken up yet.

hateful!Again!
"Everyone is here." Tsunade's voice came from outside the door.

Tsunade walked to the office, took out a chair and sat down, then looked at everyone one by one.

"I asked you to come this time because I want you to go to Sunagakure to take the chunin exam."

"Chunin exam?" Xiao Li shouted when he heard this, "Yeah!" "Shut up!" Kai punched Xiao Li's head, "Listen to Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade coughed and continued: "Gaara has become the fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, and the Chuunin Exams will follow, just three days later."

"What!" Xiao Li stared in disbelief, "Has Gaara become Kazekage? I'm still a ninja!"

Kai opened his bow from left to right and gave Xiao Li two more punches, "Listen to Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade frowned and said: "This exam is jointly organized by Konoha and Sahikaku, and all countries in the ninja world are invited to participate. Gaara is the chief examiner, and Xin is the deputy examiner. The venue is Sagakushi Village."

"Ninja world countries?" Kai asked puzzledly, "How can this scale be bigger than our last time?"

Asuma smacked his mouth, feeling that something was missing from his mouth, "It is said to be a country in the ninja world, but the time is set in three days. How many people will come by then?"

Hong added: "If you want to come, you will come even if it's only for one day, and if you don't want to come, you won't come for ten days."

"The main purpose is to convey the news of Gaara's appointment as the fifth Kazekage to the ninja world." Kakashi guessed.

Tsunade concluded: "We must go to Konoha, and your team members are all genin, right? I just want to take this opportunity to mention their professional titles."

"Great!"

Xiao Li cheered again while holding two sandbags on his head. Neji and Tiantian beside him also looked high-spirited.

"There is no Naruto this time. I should be able to get one step closer, right?"

Tooth grunted and said, and Akamaru said with a bark that he would definitely do it.

Shino remained silent as if he didn't care at all, but in his mind, he thought that he shouldn't have to participate, right?

Hinata, who was standing in front of Shino and Kiba, glanced at Neji and smiled confidently.

"What should I do?" Sakura said helplessly. Sasuke and Naruto were not around, and she was the only one left in Team [-].

Tsunade comforted: "How come there is no stage to show off after practicing for so long? Shikamaru is already a chuunin, so he did not participate. You take his place and form a three-person team with Ino and Choji."

"Tsunade-sama asked us to do more than just exams, right?" Kakashi asked.

Tsunade stood up with a hum, "Sunagakure is not stable at this time. The other ninja villages don't know how they will react when they hear that Gaara is the Kazekage. We will give them a platform, and"

Tsunade glanced at everyone and said: "Jiraiya sent back information. The Akatsuki organization has been moving frequently recently. It is initially known that their target may be the Jinchuriki. Gaara has just succeeded and the current situation of Sunagakure is unstable. I am afraid that they will Make trouble out of it.”

Kakashi looked solemn. The strength of the Akatsuki organization was already evident from Itachi and Kisame. Their purpose could be guessed from their desire to capture the Nine-Tails. Which ninja village in the five major countries does not have a tailed beast?The Akatsuki organization is destined to stand on the opposite side of the ninja world, and accordingly Kakashi feels that the mysterious Akatsuki organization must be a very difficult opponent.

What worried him even more was that no one seemed to take the Akatsuki organization seriously.

"Tsunade-sama, can you inform other ninja villages of the existence and purpose of the Akatsuki organization?" Kakashi suggested.

Tsunade nodded, thought for a while and said: "There are other Konoha ninjas taking the exam this time. These people are under the care of Kakashi. If there is nothing else, just hurry up. There is not much time left."

Everyone exited the office, knowing that in addition to the serious exams, they would probably encounter other things this time.
