Red Dust

"Feel sorry!"

Yuno, who had forgotten the time while enjoying the beautiful hot spring at the Asahi Building, had an apologetic expression on her face.

The promised dinner party, in order to reward our compatriots who have recently ended their busy work, ushered in a rare short vacation.

As the leader, Yu Nai, who managed the team's accounts and cash, was not there. The two of them sat for a long time, and it was difficult to order meals at will.

After calling the waiter skillfully and ordering a few popular delicacies, several people chatted about the upcoming joint Chunin exam.

After nearly two years of brewing, the Chunin exam was reopened, attracting the attention of many ninjas.

As the losers of the chunin exam two years ago, Yuno, Koji and Zhi Zhixiong obtained the chunin qualifications early because they chose the right followers, so naturally there is no need to worry.

"With our strength, we may not be able to pass the selection of the joint Chunin exam..."

Zhi Zhixiong said calmly,

"The Chunin exam is not entirely for selecting excellent genin and promoting them! Of course the ninja village needs to show its heritage, and a strong genin also needs excellent performance to win favor and gain more cultivation resources..."

"That's true!"

Guang Si nodded, and echoed a little sourly,

"If Daimaru hadn't performed well two years ago, he wouldn't be today!"

It was also an adventure, and Koji was out because of a single thought, and he still broods about it to this day.

On the road of ninja, there is competition everywhere. Once the opportunity is missed and the gap is widened, it will take even more effort to catch up.

"It's been so long, still can't let go?"

Yu Nai smiled and shook her head,

"Our commander-in-chief didn't just take the opportunity to soar into the sky. Kankuro, who has been with him for a long time, has not seen any great feats. His teammates Yemu and Qian have many opportunities, too. Just a chunin..."

Opportunities are important and must be fought for, but if you don't have the ability to seize opportunities, everything will be in vain.

"I just don't understand. After so many years in the chinin career, I haven't seen him have any great skills. How to participate in a chunin exam is like being favored by fate.

Sand Ren, fights are inevitable. A guy with a personality like Daimaru throws a fist whenever he disagrees. There are not a few people of his age who have bad relations. Koji is one of the people who has always been unconvinced by Daimaru.

The biggest injustice in the world is that he is still unknown, and the competitors who once struggled together in the quagmire can no longer see their backs.

"Let's accumulate a lot!"

Zhi Zhixiong shrugged and sucked the juice drink in front of him.

"Some people are probably born to attack people! Besides..."

Seemingly remembering something, Zhi Zhixiong couldn't help but sigh:

"Don't think that Qianhe Yemu's reputation is nothing special. Their real strength may be far stronger than ours!"

"Have you fought with them?"

Yuuna asked with interest.

Zhi Zhixiong shook his head and replied:

"I saw him take action when he was transferred to the Shadow Guard..."

"how do you feel?"

"If I am facing the enemy, I may not be able to survive three moves..."

That kind of fleeting murderous intent, the sharp sword light, is terrifying now that I think about it,

"That's a real genius, a master assassin who was born to kill..."

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Koji couldn't believe it. Although his teammate Zhi Zhixiong had average frontal combat strength, he was not won by ordinary ninjas.

"Such a person, before leaving the air combat unit, was actually a defeated general under Ye Mu. Don't look at that short girl who seems a little shy and has no deterrent at all. She is not very strict, it really fights, it is very powerful..."

It's not that Yemu is good at camouflage, that's her nature, but she doesn't have an accurate understanding of her own strength, and has been busy with the air combat troop training camp, and there are not many battle examples to refer to.

Only the powerful students who have personally experienced her will know what this instructor is capable of.

The three were silent for a while before Yu Nai sighed:

"Although we joined early, if we don't work hard, we will have no position in the future! Leman is highly regarded. The first batch of apprentices are now senior cadres. There are also several outstanding talents in Naruto Village. It is said that I am going to take the Chunin exam this time..."

If you still want to follow Daimaru, you have to show irreplaceable value, otherwise it will be embarrassing to be followed by others.

As the students of Fuyi's subordinate Grit Jōnin, Yu Nao, Koji and Zhi Zhixiong's positions are actually a bit awkward.

"Stop talking about that! I heard that the village has changed a lot now. Next time we have a long vacation, let's go home and see how beautiful the legendary 'Dream Theater' is..."

Seeing that the emotions of the two teammates were not too high, Yuno changed the subject.

It's been a long time since I left home, and I can't imagine what the ever-changing Shayin Village will look like.

The three of them were talking, and in a seat about ten meters away from them, the tenth class of Konoha Shimonin also happened to have dinner here.

After listening to the chatter of the three Sand Shinobi silently for a long time, Yamanaka Ino whispered to Nara Shikamaru:

"They are talking about Daimaru's teammates. One tall and one short is really a distinctive feature..."

"Ok!"

Nara Shikamaru, who responded, also remembered the female ninja who used the scent illusion technique in the third trial early selection, who lost both her and herself, and both retired.

"They are all chunin, and we still have to take the chunin exam. It's really easy for Sand Ninja to be promoted!"

Yamanaka Ino complained a little unconvinced.

The scene of competing on the same stage is still vivid in my mind. After two years, it is not known whether the gap in strength has been widened, and the gap in level must have been widened.

"There are gains and losses in early promotion! There are no more powerful seeds. If Sand Ninja has no backup force to make up for it, the performance of this joint Chunin exam may not be very good..."

"How many of you..."

Choji Akishima, who was obsessed with destroying the barbecue in front of him, reminded,

"Today is my birthday party, can't you say something to make me happy? The last Chunin exam was really unpleasant..."

"Dingci, your birthday is on the [-]st of the next month, because there are other important things to celebrate in advance..."

Yamanaka Ino unceremoniously revealed the truth,

"By the way, why isn't Mr. Asma coming, who will pay the bill?"

Before the "gold master" arrived, he had already consumed so much, and he didn't know whether the long-arrived bearded wallet could hold up.

"I heard that a messenger from Sand Ninja came over, maybe there is an urgent matter delayed..."

Chapter 0747 The Stage

Hundreds of meters away from the Hokage House, Maki, the envoy from Sandyin Village, has left, and Tsunade and two advisors are discussing the suggestions of allies.

There was still some time before the Chunin Exam, and Sand Ninja suddenly requested that the first and second exams of this year's joint Chunin Exam be placed in the Land of Winds, which made the senior officials of Konoha Village who had just started preparations feel a little strange.

"Always never forget an ally who makes trouble, really loves to cause trouble..."

Turning to bed, Koharu disliked Sand Shinobi, who rebelled against impermanence, and Mito Gate Yan didn't like to deal with aggressive Sand Shinobi either.

"Our neighbors to the west, when haven't they regained a little strength and want to attack everywhere?"

The old-fashioned old people are a little tired of tossing and turning over and over again. They hold a conservative attitude and try not to change.

If Sand Shinobi likes to toss like this, it does make people feel uncomfortable.

Tsunade crossed his arms with his chest, leaned on the chair, thought for a while, and said:

"It stands to reason that our cooperation is quite smooth. Joining forces to suppress Yanyin Village, and then attracting Wu Ninja to block the aggressive Yun Ninja in the Land of Thunder is also very beneficial to Sand Ninja..."

A little change is not important. What people care about is whether Shayin Village has reconsidered the pact with Konoha Village, and whether there is any idea of ​​breaking the existing order.

The joint Chunin exam is not a trivial matter. It was originally just a stage for Konoha Village and Sandyin Village to fight against each other, and win over allies who see the wind and rudder to show their strength and heritage.

This year, Yunyin Village and Iwayin Village participated, and Mist Shinobi, who symbolically dispatched manpower, has been regarded as the most spectacular event in the ninja world.

In an era of global events such as public events, sports events, and performing arts stars that have not received the attention of the whole ninja world, the influence of this joint Chunin exam will far exceed previous ones.

There is a lack of cultural activities and almost no sports events. It is not just the problem of the country of wind. The situation of other major countries and major ninja villages is not much better than that of Sha Ninja.

In particular, the third public competition will definitely attract the attention of most of the "gold masters" in the ninja world, and there are definitely not a few daimyo and nobles who come to watch.

This is a great opportunity to show the image and strength of Konoha Village. Konoha Village is of course unwilling to let it go. Even if the first and second trials are just early selections, they cannot be ignored.

It is not a trivial matter for the five major ninja villages to gather with their allies. In the past, the forces that were able to preside over such a big scene, except for the neutral Iron Country, also had this prestige in Konoha Village.

Located in the southwest of Shayin Village, its influence is still too low.

"Gaara, who was in power for the first time, joined forces with Daimaru, who had obviously suppressed internal dissatisfaction. The former kept order within and the latter developed externally. There has been no problem. This time, it shouldn't be so unwise. I want to be on such an occasion. stir up trouble……"

Tsunade turned his exploratory gaze towards Mito Gate Yan, who was in charge of some intelligence and diplomatic fields, and he might be able to find something.

Unfortunately, Tsunade was disappointed by Mito Menyan's reaction.

"There is some intelligence, but I don't know the core, and I can't find the thread connecting the motives..."

The old-fashioned, old-fashioned face that paused for a while was not ashamed. He supported the spectacle frame on the bridge of his nose and said seriously,

"Sand Ninja's information is not strictly guarded against us, but the key places are secrets that very few people know, even if you want to inquire about the news, you can't start! For example, the Sandyin Village puppet master group, we in Konoha Village have been attacking continuously. No talent can be found inside it, and in such an unfamiliar professional field, the best spy can only be a dispensable apprentice!"

It seems that he has been hit a lot in the past year or so, and Mito Gate Yan did not shy away from exposing his shortcomings:

"Even if a blueprint is in front of you, the Konoha Ninja lacks the ability to judge the value, and there is no chance for Kazekage Wudaimu and Daimaru to place people around..."

The reality is so embarrassing. The puppet master of Sandyin Village is a headache on the battlefield. In the past two years, it seems that the accumulation of technology has reached a certain critical point, resulting in a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change. Get a little bit of fur, and now you can't even grasp the core theory.

"Puppet master..."

Tsunade's eyebrows twitched a few times.

"Take your time and continue to strengthen cooperation in the future. Konoha ninjas are not as stupid as sand ninjas, they can always learn! What we are discussing today is not this, but the joint Chunin exam..."

As long as the crucial third test is held in Konoha Village, it is fine for allies to take over the other two tests. The point is that Tsunade and his advisors don't like the feeling that the situation is out of control.

While several people were talking, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Shikahisa Nara, who was rarely drunk, walked in.

"What was the outcome of your discussion?"

Tsunade asked hopefully.
