Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 55 Exam Continuation
The Central Tower, a towering tower in the heart of the Death Forest, is where the second exam will ultimately arrive.

In the examiner's office on the second floor, Hong Dou was sitting on the sofa, clutching the curse mark on her neck and feeling a dull pain. Although she had gone to Qianxu's office to report the news according to He Zhen's instructions, she still hadn't seen He He, and she was unavoidably worried.

"How do you feel now?"

The person who asked the question was Hiruzen Sarutobi, and beside him was Ibiki.

"It's much better now. I don't know how he is doing now."

When Anko thought of paying attention to her own safety, she secretly followed him all the way, and was discovered by Orochimaru. Her whereabouts are still unknown, and the pain in her neck was no match for the torment in her heart.

"If Qianxu takes action, he should be fine."

The third generation's eyes were calm and unwavering, and he comforted him.

"Ibiki, did you notice Orochimaru's three men first?"

Sandai asked.

Yibixi on the side crossed his arms and analyzed:
"Yes, it seems that I noticed the clues before the first exam. I saw the message he left for me on the test paper, asking me to personally interrogate three of Orochimaru's subordinates. He also seemed to think that there were spies in our Anbu and wanted me to investigate. This matter is kept confidential.”

"The future is terrifying."

The old wrinkled skin trembled slightly, Sandai said lightly.

"According to Orochimaru, his target is Sasuke."

Hong Dou subconsciously touched the curse mark, feeling faintly afraid.

"Is it Sasuke?"

Sandai closed his eyes slightly, took a breath of air in his chest, and sighed silently.

He thought of Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke's brother, the man who once destroyed his own family for the sake of the village.Although you are Hokage, the village is not decided by one person. He also tried his best to prevent the destruction of Uchiha, but after all, he agreed to that action. He did not evade responsibility or regret.

It was just a bitter experience for Itachi, who personally killed his parents, destroyed his family, and became a lonely ghost that no one in the world could tolerate.

"I'll ask Kakashi to look at Sasuke," the Sandaime said.

Then he fell into deep self-blame. It was his soft-heartedness that allowed Orochimaru to defect, so that even the Uchiha survivors were targeted by him. Although he was respected as the strongest Hokage, he was really hesitant in handling some things. Decision will lead to endless troubles.

He has experienced many hardships and naturally knows that the world of ninjas is dark, and it is not necessarily bright even if he is in it.

"Dong dong."

A knock on the door interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Are you paying attention to come back?" Hongdou asked anxiously.

"No, there are special circumstances to report." The man outside the door replied.

"Come in." Sandai said in an old voice.

The person who came was none other than Shenyue Izumo. He bowed respectfully and then said:
"Gaara and three other people from Sunagakure Village have arrived at the central tower in 97 minutes. They are the fastest team to arrive in history." Izumo paused, "And they were unscathed. I conclude that their strength is not among them. Bear with it."

"Sunagakure Village?" Sandai murmured.

"Master Three Generations, will Sha Yin have anything to do with this?" Yibixi frowned.

"Don't judge lightly." Three generations interrupted.

Sunagakure Village has been in alliance with Konoha for many years. This hard-won peace cannot be speculated on, let alone just a trace of suspicion without evidence.The third generation was not without suspicion, but he also felt that as long as Sunagakure Village was not crazy, they would not do such a thing.

"Dong dong."

There was another knock on the door.

"What's the matter again!" Hongdou shouted loudly.

"Ahem. He's back."

Gang Zitie replied sheepishly, and Hong Dou couldn't wait to stand up and go to open the door. Seeing the smiling face of He Xin in front of her, she finally let go of her hanging heart. "Sister Hongdou, are you okay?"

He Xin asked softly.

"Hahaha, how could something happen to me? Just be fine."

Anko laughed heartily and returned to her usual carefree look.

"I've met the Third Generation, and I've met Minister Ibiki."

Izumo and Zitie exited the room, while Hexin greeted him naively.

"Haha, Qianxu is indeed right, he is indeed an outstanding child."

Sandai's old-fashioned face showed a little kindness, and Ibiki on the side also nodded in greeting.

"Have you seen Orochimaru?" Anko asked.

"I saw it. He is indeed a dangerous person." Huan Xin replied, "Everyone knows his purpose, right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, He Hean pondered for a while and continued: "I think his purpose is more than that. He returned to Konoha this time to prove something. During the conversation, he seemed to be deeply dissatisfied with Konoha."

Pay attention to what the third generation said. He had some feelings. How could he not know Orochimaru's obsession after watching Orochimaru grow up? He had tacitly allowed Orochimaru to conduct various human body research. At the beginning, he was just an enemy prisoner, until he extended his hands to ordinary civilians. .He absolutely couldn't accept it and directly expelled Orochimaru.

To prove it to me?Sandai thought silently in his heart.

"Pay attention to how you found out that there was something wrong with the three of Toss?"

Ibby asked.

"On the eve of the exam, I had a conflict with Gaara and the other three from Sunagakure Village. Toss and the others showed up at that time, so I investigated them and found out that they were related to Orochimaru."

Pay attention to the eloquent talk.

"Speaking of Gaara and the other three, their strength far exceeds that of the chuunin, which is also very suspicious."

"Oh? Did you notice that you had discovered it a long time ago?" Ibiki said solemnly, "In the second exam, they did show their strength above Chunin."

"No matter what their purpose is, if they are suspicious, you should pay attention."

The third generation spoke.

"This exam is going on normally. Orochimaru has me to deal with it. Please pay attention to you to continue to take the exam as a candidate. Keep an eye on the three people in Sunagakure Village. Anko and Ibiki will pay attention to the people around them. I will hold a meeting after the second exam. Discuss together.”

The third generation ordered in a deep voice, and the three of them nodded in response.

The matter came to an end, and the third generation left with Ibiki. Anko would continue to preside over the ongoing examination. Heihan could finally take some time to rest and rest in the central tower for two days, waiting for the arrival of other candidates.

Just after walking through the corridor on the second floor and going down the stairs, three familiar figures came face to face.

"Brother! You are finally here."

"We miss you so much!"

"Yeah"

Hexin beamed, "Why are A[-] and A[-] here too?"

"Big brother said he wanted me to be a cheerleader, so of course I want to come." Class A[-] responded enthusiastically.

"We haven't seen each other for less than a day. Brother, you look like you have changed." Renji said sadly.

"Brother, let's go to the lounge to read a magazine and eat something delicious." Lu Yi said.

Then the group walked towards the room talking and laughing.

In the dark corridor blocked by pillars not far away, Gaara stared closely at the scene in front of him. Temari and Kankuro beside him did not dare to speak.
