Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 120 Six Representatives

The owners of the shops in Konoha Commercial Street may be the most depressing group of ordinary villagers in Konoha.

Shikamaru passed by the commercial street on his way to the examination room, and found that it was more lively than usual. Before the official selection, although the candidates from the outer village were restricted in their range of movement, they had no problem shopping and tasting food in the commercial street. This obviously gave the bosses of the commercial street a taste of the sweetness, and the official selection began. As in previous years, more wealthy foreigners will come to Muye Village. The shopkeepers are preparing to take advantage of this large-scale To make a good fortune from these people, but he didn't expect Hiruzaru Sarutobi to announce that he would reduce the number of visitors from other villages, which surprised these shopkeepers who were sharpening their swords.

After knowing the situation, some shop owners have already started to close their doors, preparing to watch the Chunin exam. Compared with this slightly busy scene, some Konoha ninjas wandering around the commercial street are not very eye-catching.

…………

"It's great that Konoha is still thriving like this!"

A gentle breeze blows in from the window, one after another of yelling and shouting can be faintly heard. In a spacious house, a man sitting on a soft mahogany chair is talking to a person standing behind him.

The man who spoke was white-haired and not young, but he still seemed to maintain a relatively vigorous vitality. He was tall and tall, and he was not thin even now. He must have had a healthy body in his early years.

This old man with a strong voice is wearing a crown, a white-bottomed purple-sleeved jacket with large sleeves, and black black trousers on the lower body. The waist is tied tightly with a palm-wide ribbon, and his feet are facing the boots. In today's slightly hot weather, the old man was still meticulously wearing the thick clothes.

This attire and clothing showed that the old man must be an official of the Kingdom of Fire, and his status was not low.

Hideo Mita is exactly the name of this old man. He is the elder of the Fire Nation Daimyo, with a high position and authority. Because the Fire Ninja Daimyo did not come in person for the Chunin Exam, he was sent to represent himself.

"I heard that most of the candidates who passed the preliminary selection this time are newcomers from Konoha. It's really amazing!" The man standing behind Hideo Mita smiled slightly, but didn't talk to him, but sat side by side with Hideo Mita A fat old man said.

This slightly fat old man should be a little younger than Hideo Mita, with a ruddy complexion, few silver threads in his hair, a goatee, a smiling appearance, and looks very kind, wearing an official uniform similar to Hideo Mita.

Being able to sit side by side with Hideo Mita, who represents the daimyo of the Land of Fire, is the only country whose national strength can match that of the Land of Fire. He is also the representative of the Land of Wind, one of the five great nations. This slightly fat old man is the representative of the Land of Wind Ito Hiroyoshi, the guardian of Inaba Castle, came here.

Although Ninja Village has a deep connection with the country where it is located, it is actually difficult for the two to intervene in each other's decision-making. The country leader provides a certain amount of funds for Ninja Village, while Ninja Village contributes to protect the security of the country. In fact, it is a disguised employment relationship. Although the daimyos of various countries have the right to propose Naruto candidates, it is the villagers and the ninjas who have the voting rights to really determine the candidates. In addition, the daimyos do not even have the right to promote a ninja in the ninja village.

The plan of Hidden Sand Village to attack Konoha Village was not disclosed to the Kingdom of Wind, because this plan may not be in the interests of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, and even if told to the other party, it may not be approved. Therefore, Hiroyoshi Ito, who represents the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind It is not known that Konoha's collapse plan exists.

"I'm sorry." Mita Hideo said modestly, but with a reserved smile on his face, obviously also a little complacent because of the other party's words.

The strength of Ninja Village not only represents the prosperity of a country's armed forces, stable rule, and territorial security. The stronger Konoha Village is, the more beneficial it is to the ruling class of the Fire Country. Hearing Ito Hiroyoshi's words, Hideo Mita felt a little proud in his heart It is also understandable.

After Hiroyoshi Ito saw Hideo Mita's performance, his eyes flashed, he chuckled, and turned his gaze out of the window.

As the representatives of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, the second of the five great kingdoms, even if the daimyo did not come in person, he was not comparable to the rulers of other small countries. Hiroyoshi Ito and Hideo Mita were both arranged in a separate private room, There is also a small team from Konoha Anbe guarding to ensure safety, and at the same time provide some services and help for the two representatives.

However, Hiroyoshi Ito and Hideo Mita are not fools. One is the guardian of a big city of a country, and the other is an elder of a famous family. To have such a status, they naturally have excellent wisdom, and being sent by the country's lord also shows that the other party believes in the two. Only human ability can make this trip.

Hiroyoshi Ito is the representative of the Land of Winds, and he has no connection with Konoha Village, let alone, but even Hideo Mita didn't casually call out these ninjas who were sent to protect and serve him.

After all, although Muye Village’s arrangements for the two of them are many times better than those of the small country leaders, for the two high-ranking and powerful people, it can barely be said to be comfortable, but it is nothing more than that, but whether it is Hideo Mita Neither Hiroyoshi Ito showed any displeasure. This is not only because of the existence of Konoha Village, but also because both of them know the power of ninjas.

Even if it is an ordinary person, if he really has the courage to fear death, it is enough to splatter five steps of blood, let alone a ninja with extraordinary strength?

If you really want to meet a ninja who is narrow-minded or highly skilled, and angry because of being humiliated, if you want to kill them, there is really no way to predict and resist them. Even if you can track them down afterwards and give them severe punishment, but at that time It is useless to the two of them. Since Ito Hiroyoshi and Mita Hideo are not superficial dignitaries who only care about enjoying themselves and have no brains, they will not call the ninja sent by Konoha at will.

"Candidates have entered!"

Hideo Mita was holding a delicate fan in his hand, fanning the wind. When his eyes fell on the field outside the window, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he folded the fan with a sound of "pop!" Said.

Hearing his words, Hiroyoshi Ito, who was drinking tea with his head down, also looked out the window. Under the leadership of the referee Genma Shiranui, eight candidates for the formal selection examination had entered the examination room one by one.

As the eight ninjas entered the arena, the voices in the auditorium of the examination room became even more noisy. The audience talked a lot, looked excited, and kept pointing at the examinees in the arena.

"Huh? Why didn't Sasuke come!?"

At Shiranui Genma's request, the eight candidates stood in a row. After facing the audience, Uzumaki Naruto standing in the middle looked around and found that there was no trace of Uchiha Sasuke. He couldn't help muttering: "He is now what are you doing!?"
