CH 348

Aoba clearly saw what Hiruzen wrote on the scroll.

The content on it.

A great secret was revealed.

This was something that Aoba had never thought of before.

He was sure that he would not have thought of such a situation if he had not seen such a scene in Danzo's memory.

Moreover.

Danzo had no intention of telling this matter!

This memory happened many years ago, but until the moment of the finale, no one has said anything about it, and no one knows about these things.

Perhaps.

If Aoba had not found this memory.

The things that Hiruzen had done might never be known to anyone!

This was obviously a great secret to be taken to the grave!

Aoba's gaze clearly fell on the content beginning. On it was a name that almost everyone in the Ninja World had heard of!

Hanzo!

It was just a name.

But it was enough to make others dumbfounded.

Aoba believed that anyone who saw this name would be dumbfounded!

The dignified Konohagakure leader wrote such a secret letter to the Amegakure leader!

No one would believe such a thing!

'Could it be...'

'Hiruzen was actually related to Hanzo?'

This kind of thing...

Even if he racked his brains, Aoba could not imagine it. It was beyond his expectations and no longer within his scope of knowledge.

"What's going on?"

A big question mark popped up in Aoba's head. He only hesitated for a moment and immediately paused Danzo's memory. Then, he carefully stared at the words on the scroll written by Hiruzen and began to read them in detail.

It had been long since he had read the memories so carefully!

Even though Danzo had written to those forces not long ago, he did not really read it. Now, he was trying to figure out exactly what Hiruzen had written.

In a split second.

Line after line of text appeared before his eyes.

[To Hanzo:

There is something I need your help with. I need you to gather your forces at the Country of Fire border, pretending to attack our Country of Fire.

Our Konohagakure will send many ninjas to guard our border at that time.

Neither of us should take the initiative to launch an attack, mainly to attract attention, and there should be no loss or consumption of personnel.

After a while, I will personally initiate a peace talk with you and give you satisfactory compensation.

Konohagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen.]

A few short lines of text made Aoba look at it for a few minutes. When he finished reading all the content, his mood was very heavy, and he became serious.

'Isn't this just asking Hanzo to attack Konohagakure?'

'How could he think of such a thing?'

'Genius?!'

The corners of Aoba's mouth twitched slightly. He was shocked as if he had seen the omen of the Second Ninja World War.

'Is this Hiruzen's suffocating operation?'

In order to not lure the Uzumaki Clan sleeping lion in, he specially summoned the tiger next door to let the tiger attack him.

Aoba felt rather helpless in his heart. After that, he continued to look back and immersed himself in Danzo's perspective again and carefully watched what was happening before him.

When such a secret letter appears.

Even the original owner of this memory, Shimura Danzo, was extremely shocked. He even has an expression of disbelief.

"Since when did you get in touch with Hanzo?"

Danzo asked, a little puzzled.

Even Danzo was extremely surprised by this.

Even he didn't even know about this.

All of a sudden.

Danzo's left eye was exposed to the outside and was filled with intense doubt. His eyes were full of confusion. He didn't know what was going on at all.

"When I was on a mission, I had an experience of cooperating with Hanzo. It's just that you all don't know about it. I didn't intend to spread it around. After all, the present is different from the past. Our identities have already changed. We are no longer little ninjas." Hiruzen sighed. As he spoke, his eyes flickered with reminiscence as if he recalled the past.

"When you were on a mission, you met Hanzo. How come I don't know? I have never seen you on such a mission before. What's going on?" Danzo asked with a frown. His expression did not look very comfortable. From his posture, it was as if he had been deceived. He stared at Hiruzen as if Hiruzen had done something shameful behind his back.

"In the past, when I was on a mission, you wished for me to die on a mission. Why would you pay attention to what I did..." Hiruzen forced a smile, making people feel he was complaining, and he didn't look like Hokage at all.

"Forget it; I won't argue with you about this. But you should have told me earlier that you have these kinds of resources. Now I understand what you mean. These two things can be done together. We can not only let those big and small forces attack the Country of Whirlpool together but also extend the battlefield to the inland area so that the Country of Rain can start a war against more countries." Danzo was about to put away the scroll. After closing the scroll, he laid a seal on it, making it a sealed scroll. His thoughts began to wander, thinking about how the following things should be carried out.

"That's exactly what I mean. I hope that when Amegakure comes to attack Konohagakure, we can mobilize all our Konoha ninjas. Even if something happens to the Country of Whirlpool, we can't help immediately. This way, we have a reasonable explanation for the late arrival." Hiruzen nodded. He had already given up everything for the Hokage position. After his analysis with Danzo, he realized that he absolutely could not let the Uzumaki Clan people enter Konohagakure.

Not only did he have to stop them.

He also had to destroy them.

One must know that the Uzumaki Clan was not only a big problem for the other forces in the Ninja World but also a big problem for Hiruzen!

If he can't get rid of it...

There will be endless future troubles!

"In fact, if only Amegakure attacked us, Konohagakure, the effect we can achieve is limited. We can play a little more and make everything more chaotic. Then we can do it even easier, and Mito-sama wouldn't suspect anything!" Danzo immediately began to think. He was the aide behind Hiruzen, and he made a better plan in a few words.

"You mean to say... we should pull in the other forces and participate in the battle between us?" Hiruzen stared at him in confusion. He found that Danzo's ability to improve his current plan was extremely powerful. It could make the plan extremely reliable and cover a wide area.

"That's right!"

Danzo nodded without hesitation. Then, his left eye flashed with a cold light. This made him look particularly fierce. His aura suddenly rose, giving people the feeling that he had entered his domain.

"Hiruzen!"

"We can't just rely on Amegakure to cooperate with our performance."

"As long as it's fake..."

"Then, after a long time, there will be flaws."

"Mito-sama is not so easily deceived! "

Danzo's exposed eyes stared at Hiruzen, and he had already begun to radiate his wisdom quickly.

"We're going to bring both Sunagakure and Iwagakure over and turn this battle into a long chaotic multi-party brawl. This way, we can focus the village's attention on the battlefield and turn this matter into a reality." Danzo said in a deep voice.

"But..."

After hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen's expression changed slightly. He frowned as if he had something to say about this matter. After that, he said, "Danzo, the purpose of writing this letter is not to start a war but to have Hanzo cooperate with me to attract the village's attention. We are just pretending to have friction. Can you understand what I mean?"

"I made it very clear just now. Don't treat Mito-sama as a fool. If you start a fake war, then there is no problem. But if it is connected to the Uzumaki Clan's annihilation, this matter will be exposed instantly!" Danzo immediately said in a low voice. His tone was extremely serious and did not give Hiruzen any chance to refute. He directly rejected Hiruzen's naive idea.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Hiruzen pursed his lips helplessly. He was speechless and did not know what to say about this. It was as if he had fallen into a strange circle. If he did not do it, there would be problems. However, if he did it, there would be even more problems. These problems were all in front of him. If he could not deal with them reasonably, there would be a big problem.

"A real war!" Danzo said simply.

"What? What did you say? This is absolutely impossible!" Hiruzen shook his head without any hesitation. Then, he said with a cold expression, "I thought you would find Sunagakure and Iwagakure to cooperate with the performance. But now, it seems that you don't think so at all. We absolutely can not start a real war."

"Hahahahaha!"

When Danzo heard Hiruzen's words, he immediately raised his head and laughed. His laughter was filled with deep ridicule.

"Hiruzen!"

"You are still so naive!"

"Take this scroll of yours as an example..."

"When you first took it out, it was indeed quite shocking!"

"But, there are two things that shocked me."

"The first one, you actually know Hanzo, and you are willing to give up your wings to find Hanzo for help. This is a very difficult matter, so I am shocked."

"The second is..."

"You are still so naive!"

"Even you said that the present is different from the past. Your identities have changed, and your thoughts are all for the sake of your own villages. You all have different standpoints."

"In that case..."

"Why do you think Hanzo will cooperate with your performance?"

Danzo directly asked Hiruzen a critical question. As soon as this sentence came out, Hiruzen was immediately speechless.

That's right!

The current situation was no longer the same!

He wanted the other party to use Amegakure power to act like an army attacking the border and then wait for him to discuss withdrawing the troops.

This was indeed a bit difficult!

But...

If he openly told Hanzo about the truth, wouldn't that be even more difficult?

Thinking of this.

Hiruzen was silent.

His thoughts were blocked, and he did not know how to do this anymore.

His head was a mess. It was like it was filled with paste.

He had no idea how to deal with such a situation.

"Danzo, do you mean I should not send out this scroll?" Hiruzen said after hesitating for a moment.

"No, you have to send it out, and there is no need for any changes. As long as this scroll is in Hanzo's hands, we will have a war." Danzo said indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Hiruzen did not really understand what Danzo meant. There was a big question mark on his head. He did not clearly understand the meaning of his words.

"Hanzo is not as naive as you. He is naturally suspicious. You know that if you emphasize that you are pretending to fight, he will think that you are really going to fight. So, this scroll of yours can be said to be a declaration of war." Danzo explained. When he spoke, he did not forget to glare coldly at Hiruzen. He knew that Hiruzen was cowardly and naive, but he did not expect that after being the Hokage for ten years, he was still so cowardly and naive. If there is no one here to stare at him, Danzo did not know how many detours Hiruzen would take.

"This..."

Hiruzen's pupils shrank, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Through his eyes.

It could be seen.

He really had not thought of this.

"Hahahaha! However, Hiruzen, you have come up with a very good idea for me. I will send your scroll over right now. Then, as an envoy of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, send the scroll of Third Kazekage and Third Tsuchikage together. The scroll above asks Hanzo to dispatch his ninjas to cooperate with the performance. In this way, when Hanzo sees these words, he will definitely think that you will attack him, and he will prepare to fight." Danzo said with his left hand on his chin. At this time, a satisfied look appeared on his face. It could be said that he was very satisfied with the handling of this matter.

"Do we not need to do anything else?" Hiruzen furrowed his brows. This was not what he had expected. He continued asking, "Are you sure you can get Hanzo to start a war?"

"Hiruzen! To think that you have a relationship with Hanzo but don't understand his character. I can't see another one in the ninja world who is suspicious as him. As long as he is alive, we can always use his suspicious character to induce him. This is too easy. Moreover, the most important thing is..."

When Danzo said this, his tone paused slightly. The expression on his face returned to a serious state. His exposed left eye narrowed slightly and looked very cold.

"Hanzo has long wanted to expand his territory. Even without your scroll, it won't take long for him to start a war. Moreover, our Country of Fire has abundant resources. The content of your scroll is just the catalyst. Besides that, don't expect Hanzo to believe any word of it."

When Danzo said this.

Hiruzen fell into complete silence.

About conspiracies and plots.

Hiruzen admitted that he was no match for Danzo. This was also the reason why he needed Danzo very much.

There were many things that he did not expect Danzo to be able to think of.

He could not do many things, but Danzo could do them.

It was precisely because of Danzo's existence!

Hiruzen could rest assured and stand at Konohagakure's brightest spot, becoming a leaf bathed in sunlight.

As for Danzo...

He became the root that was deeply embedded into the dark ground.

This huge root firmly grasped the soil that allowed Konohagakure, this big tree, not to be swayed by the storm that swept over.

"Hiruzen, leave this matter to me. I will now deal with Amegakure's matters and look for a suitable Kyuubi Jinchuriki to take over Mito-sama's place!"

After saying this sentence, Danzo turns his head and leaves the office, ready to start the process of the subsequent conspiracy.

...

"Sigh..."

Aoba couldn't help but sigh. He suddenly withdrew from the memory and shook his head vigorously. He was completely shocked.

"So this is what happened!"

Aoba couldn't help but sigh again. This kind of thing was completely beyond his expectations. It was simply something he didn't expect.

But when he found out.

However, he felt that these things were reasonable.

It was just that...

It never occurred to him that these things were all related, and it could be said that a single incident would affect the overall situation.

"The friendship between the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan, coupled with the relationship between Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito, made the Uzumaki Clan join Konohagakure. However, because of Uzumaki Ashina, the Uzumaki Clan left Konohagakure and established the Uzushiogakure in the Country of Whirlpool on its own. Then, under Konohagakure's protection, they build power that makes many forces fear them. This could be said to be the beginning of a tragedy..."

Aoba slowly muttered to himself. He spread out a notebook he had brought over as he spoke. He took out a pen and began to record the words on it one by one. He was prepared to smooth out this matter according to his habits.

"The Uzumaki Clan has great power and ambition. If not for the fact that Uzumaki Ashina couldn't beat Senju Hashirama, he would have already thought of seizing Konohagakure's regime. Otherwise, there would be no need to break away from Konohagakure and establish his own village. He would become the village leader, and the relationship between the two clans would be handled in an alliance. It could be said that this greed and desire was the fuse for everything that followed."

As Aoba spoke, he wrote Uzumaki Ashina's name on the top of the notebook and drew a circle on it.

"The Uzumaki Clan will be exposed to the eyes of all forces when they become independent. However, they can rely on Senju Hashirama, so there is no problem for the time being."

"However, with Senju Hashirama's death, the Ninja World fell into chaos. At that time, the Uzumaki clan still had the powerful Uzumaki Ashina, but when Uzumaki Ashina also died, things became completely different. There has been a change. "

"It can be said that Uzumaki Ashina's death was the fuse for the clan's annihilation. The Uzumaki clan's annihilation was also the fuse to the Second Ninja World War outbreak."

Aoba drew patterns on the notebook one by one. After he finished drawing the patterns, he slowly nodded.

"Interesting!"

"Senju Hashirama's death was the fuse to the First Ninja World War outbreak."

"Uzumaki Ashina's death was the fuse to the Second Ninja World War outbreak."

"According to the Ninja World's original history, the Third Kazekage's death was the fuse to the Third Ninja World War."

"But now it was Uchiha Sekai's death that triggered the Third Ninja World War!"

"In this way..."

"Brother Sekai, you didn't lose anything!"

"In the future history of the Ninja World, you have left a deep and heavy mark!"

Aoba's hands moved in circles, sorting out the relationships between the people here.

"I don't need to look at the later memory anymore. I'll slowly check it when I have time!"

"I can already guess the outcome even if I don't look at it..."

"It's just that Hiruzen and Danzo selected Kushina, who can become the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, and successfully brought her back to Konohagakure before the Uzumaki clan's annihilation."

"On another dark and windy night, Uzumaki Kushina successfully inherit the Kyuubi from Uzumaki Mito, becoming the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

"Just like that, the powerful Uzumaki Clan disappeared in the long river of the Ninja World's history..."

"I finally understand why Hiruzen and the two advisors were so nervous when they saw me reveal the Uzumaki Clan characteristics."

Aoba muttered one sentence after another. Through these few short memories, he had more or less understood what had happened at that time and roughly understood the process of Uzumaki clan annihilation.

After all, this was not a series that needed to be watched to the end.

Instead, he would go back to the past, and as long as he knew the cause, he could deduce the process.

Aoba felt that even if the process he deduced were somewhat different from what happened, the difference was not too big. He would slowly read those memories when he had the chance.

It had to be said.

Danzo's memories were too huge.

It looked very complicated.

Almost every moment, he planned and executed all kinds of shady events.

This made him not dare to read quickly when he looked through Danzo's memories. He even had to slow down and pause most of the time, afraid of missing even a little detail. However, if the time ratio were one-to-one, then the time needed to read Danzo's memories would be based on the years.

In the memories that Aoba had read.

This could be said to be the only one.

Of course.

There was another person that was completely different from Danzo.

That was Duy.

In memory, besides training, it was training. Every day was either in the training process or on the way to training...

Don't even talk about looking at the details.

Even if the high-speed fast-forward was turned on, it was like a single loop. All you saw were repeated clips, and there was no end in sight.

After Aoba figured out everything, he turned his gaze back to the notebook.

Suddenly.

Aoba's fingers pinched the notebook paper. After that, he tore off the page with the character relationship written on it.

Snipped Snipped Snipped...

When this piece of paper fell into Aoba's hand, it was like entering a shredding machine. It instantly turned into pieces and stuck to his body.

Immediately after.

Aoba raised his hands and quickly made a series of hand seals.

A surge of chakra suddenly surged up.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)."

Aoba said softly. As his voice rang out, a person who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him.

"Here's the pen, you write!"

Aoba directly handed the pen to the shadow clone in front of him. The task he assigned to this shadow clone was to sit in his office, hold the pen, and write the story of Binbin, a Teenage From the Ninja School.

After all, it had been a few days since Eaton had been waiting.

No matter what, it had to start.

"Yes."

The shadow clone immediately took the pen handed over by Aoba and sat down on the chair behind the desk. His mind began recalling the articles he had seen on the forum. It was written with ninjas as the background through background-shifting technology, and a series of adaptations were carried out to match the ninja customs.

However...

Even if it was an adaptation, it was not a magic reform.

Binbin's inner core was still there.

Aoba knew this would still be an explosive novel that would sweep through the Ninja World. After all, it was a work that countless people regarded as divine works in the modern world. In the Naruto World, where there were almost no novels, it was simply a foreign species invasion.

Oh, that's not right.

It should be a foreign cultural invasion!

Aoba had never thought he would one day use such a method to leave a deep impression on the ninja world.

When Aoba saw that the shadow clone had started to work normally, he immediately thought of something and communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on his tower. His figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Swish!

Aoba went straight out to the first floor of the tower.

It was now a ruined place.

One puppet after another that had yet to be completed was placed on this floor, and they were in different progress.

Some were already completed.

Some were still in the middle of construction.

Suddenly.

Aoba formed another hand seal.

This time, the hand seal was different from what he had done in his office.

"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

In a split second.

Aoba's shadow clones appeared one by one on this floor.

Every shadow clone had a puppet beside them.

"Let's begin."

Aoba immediately nodded at the shadow clones, indicating they could proceed with the puppet technique training.

This was what he had planned.

However, it was continuously interrupted by Hiruzen and Fugaku.

Now, it was possible to carry on with the training again.

"Yes!"

These shadow clones said to Aoba in unison. After they finished speaking, they immediately began to move their hands. Each of them was very skilled in their movements. After all, they were all Aoba's shadow clones.

When Aoba saw this scene, he slowly nodded. After that, he stepped forward and walked toward the tower's second floor. He was ready to flip through the books on the second floor, especially about the Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique.

Through Danzo's memories, he already knew about the Uzumaki Clan.

Now, as long as he could learn more about the Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique, he would be able to appear as a ninja of the Uzumaki Clan.

...

On the noisy and bustling street of Konohagakure.

Two girls walked side by side, and their faces were full of sadness. One of the girls was tall and had long braids on her head. She looked like she had lost her energy. The other person had a round, oval face, and her brown hair was scattered casually. Her face was filled with deep helplessness.

These two girls were Nara Saki of the Nara Clan and Akimichi Rin of the Akimichi Clan.

"Saki.. do you think... we have a chance... to participate... in the Chunin Exam?" Akimichi Rin said while rubbing her stomach. She was so hungry that she couldn't even speak coherently. Recently, they had been looking for teammates every day. They left early and returned late at night. Their physical strength couldn't withstand it at all.

"It's too difficult... too troublesome..." Saki smiled helplessly. She didn't tell Rin about Fugaku's so-called guarantee. Instead, they continued to search for teammates. When Fugaku finished speaking at that time, she just went over and didn't take it seriously. After all, the other party was Konoha Military Police Force's people. How could he help them find teammates so easily? She thought that Konoha Military Police Force's brother was comforting her after she encountered danger.

"Saki, why don't we not participate in Chunin's exam? Anyway, we tried our best. There is no way now, and we can't be blamed." Akimichi Rin was a little relieved. She felt it was already difficult to persist in finding a teammate this time. For such a long time, she had been holding on to expectations every day. Then, her expectations would come to nothing. It was really tiring to keep going like this.

"Alright." Saki nodded and sighed, "Then let's just forget about it. I am also tired. We can't find it. This might be the will of heaven. Let's give up, and everything will be okay."

"That makes sense!" When Akimichi Rin heard Nara Saki's words, her eyes widened. She was full of energy. She grinned and pointed to the barbecue shop not far away, "Why don't we go and eat barbecue?"

"..."

Nara Saki couldn't help but roll her eyes at Akimichi Rin. She was speechless. This good friend of hers couldn't say three words without saying eat. Now, she wanted to eat a barbecue. This was too much.

"Can't I?" Akimichi Rin immediately put on a wronged look. Her round face suddenly collapsed, and she looked very pitiful.

"I have no money..." Nara Saki helplessly spread out her hands. Every time she ate with her, she ate 90% of it. However, this was not a problem for Saki. It was just that she really had no money today.

"This..." Akimichi Rin immediately reached into the ninja pouch at her waist and took out her shriveled wallet. There was indeed some money in it, but there was no way to treat her best friend. The amount was not even enough for her to eat.

"Let's not eat anymore. Let's go back and have a good rest today. Let's talk about our teammates later in the war!" Nara Saki shook her head and said helplessly. They were in a hurry to participate in Chunin Exam. They wanted to quickly become Chunin so they could be qualified to participate in the Ninja World War. They did not want to stay at home when the war happened. They were more willing to go to the battlefield to realize their own value.

"There's no other way!"

Akimichi Rin was full of disappointment. She still wanted to eat a barbecue and say goodbye to Chunin Exam, which she could not participate in. However, the heavens did not grant her wish. Even such a small wish could not be fulfilled.

"Saki?"

Just at this time.

A puzzled voice sounded.

This voice was very unfamiliar to Akimichi Rin. She had never heard of it before. However, she heard the other person calling Saki's name, so she immediately turned to look at him.

Nara Saki felt a sense of familiarity the moment her name was called. She had heard this voice before, and not so long ago, it gave her a very familiar feeling.

Both of them looked toward the source of the voice.

In their line of sight.

It was a young man wearing the Konoha Military Police Force uniform. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and he looked a little handsome.

This person was Uchiha Fugaku.

At this time, Nara Saki and Akimichi Rin were standing at the intersection next to the barbecue shop, while Fugaku was opposite. It was obvious that he had met them while patrolling.

"Brother Fugaku!"

When Saki saw Fugaku, a smile appeared on her face. She raised her hand and waved at Fugaku.

She looked like she was waving her hand.

But it was very obvious that she was hinting for Fugaku to come over.

"Saki, do you know him?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Akimichi Rin's face. She stared at Fugaku, who was not far away. Whether it was in age or his clothes, he couldn't be a teammate candidate.

Of course.

She had given up.

It was just based on the habits she had developed during this peroid.

As long as she saw a person, she would first consider whether this person could become her teammate and speculate if the person was reliable.

Now it seemed.

Obviously, this person can't.

"Yes, I've seen him before. It's okay." Nara Saki said in a low voice. She didn't want her voice to be too loud and then let Fugaku hear it. That would be bad.

"This person is obviously a Konoha Military Police Force member. Why did you call him over? He couldn't be our teammate." Akimichi Rin looked at Fugaku, who was ready to come over. A lot of question marks appeared in her head. She didn't know why Saki would do this.

"He really can't be our teammate, but he can bring you a barbecue!" Nara Saki turned to look at Akimichi Rin beside her. As she spoke, she winked playfully at the latter and whispered, "If I can convince him to treat you to a barbecue, will you eat it or not?"

"Eat! You must eat! If you don't eat, you are an idiot!" Akimichi Rin nodded without hesitation. When she heard Saki's words, her taste buds were immediately mobilized. She was extremely excited. After that, she turned to look at Fugaku. Her eyes were fixed on Fugaku as if this man who was walking over was the barbecue she was going to eat.

...

Fugaku had just started his patrol duty. When he was on patrol, he was still thinking about Aoba.

From a friend's perspective.

He felt that Aoba was a very smart, and his basic strength(Mind Reading) was very strong.

If not for Aoba's help, he would not have found out that Orochimaru was Gasshi, the one who killed Sekai.

Regarding this matter.

He had always been grateful to Aoba.

He wanted to find an opportunity to help Aoba.

This time.

When he heard that Saki wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams, he realized it.

The opportunity had come.

In his opinion, Aoba had always been underappreciated for his talents and had not been taken seriously. The fundamental reason was that Aoba was only a genin.

It was normal for a genin among Anbu not to be promoted in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

However.

Aoba had always been alone.

No one could bring Aoba to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Now, the two girls were missing one member. One was from the Nara clan, and the other was from the Akimichi clan. They were able to form a poor version of Ino-Shika-Cho with Aoba.

Most importantly...

This time, the Chunin Exams happened during the war.

Only Konoha ninjas participated in the Chunin Exam, and many of the powerful genin did not choose to participate because of their clan.

These reasons were piled together.

This made Fugaku think that this was the most advantageous opportunity for Aoba to advance to chunin.

So he wanted to facilitate this matter.

He wanted to provide great help to Aoba.

Because of this.

While patrolling, he was still thinking about whether he would have the chance to see Nara Saki.

In the end, he really met her coincidentally.

Moreover, after he greeted Saki, she waved at him and called him over.

Instantly.

Fugaku directly strode toward Saki.

While he was walking...

He looked toward the girl beside Saki.

'En...'

'This person...'

'It must be Akimichi Rin!'

'It's just that...'

When Fugaku saw Akimichi Rin staring at him with a drooling expression, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

'Why does this girl seems to want to eat me?'
