After simply washing off the dust and blood on his body, he had to admit that taking a cool shower in the hot summer was a happy thing!

Because the Land of Fire is located in the center of the continent, it is not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter, and the climate is very pleasant.

"I'm going to get a tan this time."

After wiping his hair, Orochimaru took out a new set of clothes to change into. He also brought two or three sets of clothes for a long trip.

Compared with other ninjas, Orochimaru is more like going on vacation, and he really thinks so.

"Take a few fish back to the White Snake Immortal and the elders!"

Orochimaru said to Manshe that although he had left the Ryuchi Cave, he still had to maintain a good relationship with him. Maybe he would ask for help from him in the future.

And it would not be good for the White Snake Immortal to hear that he ate alone. Although no one dared to say anything on the surface, it would be bad if Manshe made trouble for him.

"Oh! Okay!"

Orochimaru's order made Manshe a little reluctant, but when he heard that it was for the White Snake Immortal and the elders, he had to do it obediently. They were all snakes that he couldn't afford to offend.

And everyone knew that Manshe had brought a lot of food out of the Dragon Cave, so it would be unreasonable not to bring some back, not to mention that there were so many, so this bite was not a big deal.

He stuffed the stick with the grilled fish into the gaps between Manshe's teeth on both sides, and the meaty aroma made Manshe drool all over the floor. Orochimaru looked at him with disgust.

"Go away!"

After saying that, Orochimaru lifted the summoning technique, and then he took the lead in enjoying the food in front of him.

He was indeed hungry after fighting for a long time, and his current physique was amazing, so he needed to consume a lot of calories. After he finished eating a big fish, Orochimaru summoned Manshe.

"Oh, Brother Snake, you're making me anxious!"

As he spoke, Wanshe was already impatiently rushing towards the lobster in front of him, not caring about the stick on it, and took it into his mouth and started chewing.

"Look at your ability, aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"

Just as Orochimaru was enjoying afternoon tea, Jiraiya's team also returned to Konoha.

With Minato's Flying Thunder God hurrying on, they returned to Konoha Village in half a day.

It's no wonder they were so anxious, because the news of the Jinchūriki was of great importance, and sending the news back in advance could avoid many casualties.

But this was hard for Minato, who was almost exhausted when he returned to the village.

You know, he relied on Flying Thunder God to fight against hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas alone, and it was no problem to launch Flying Thunder God hundreds of times without interruption.

"Minato, how come you can't hold on so soon? You are the man who will become the Hokage!"

Jiraiya patted Minato's shoulder with a look of "little brother, you are not good enough, you are fast enough, but not long enough".

It's really easy to talk without any pain in the waist. Shuichi and Dekai comforted Minato with some gratitude, but after hearing what Jiraiya said, Minato nodded in agreement. This kid is still too honest.

"Hehe! Maybe you are fast and perform well, and others will praise you for being great, but in front of the teacher, I'm sorry, little brother, you still have to practice!"

Jiraiya was also very satisfied with this humble disciple. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the village. Several people chatted and walked towards the Hokage building.

After Jiraiya's team submitted this mission to the Hokage, they also talked about the situation encountered on the battlefield.

Jiraiya accepted an S-level mission this time, which was personally issued by the Hokage. After hearing about the Jinchūriki Lao Zi and Han appearing on the battlefield, Sarutobi Hiruzen took it seriously at the first time.

He immediately summoned the Konoha high-level to discuss countermeasures, and sent more scouts to collect intelligence!

The entire Konoha entered a state of combat readiness, like a high-speed machine, and various tasks were issued.

Many of these tasks are related to this war, including escorting supplies, covering the advance of large troops, and harassing the enemy's mass teams.

However, the minimum threshold for performing these tasks is the level of Chunin. Konoha has a Chunin exam every year, and many young ninjas have been promoted to Chunin.

The outstanding Chunin promoted in recent years include Shiranui Genma, Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, Might Guy and Sarutobi Asuma.

They were also recruited by Konoha, forming a team of three, plus a Jonin to lead the team.

Those who have not formed a team yet do not need to worry, because the results of this year's Chunin Exam will be announced soon.

In order to recruit more outstanding ninjas to deal with this war, the Konoha high-level officials have also taken corresponding measures.

Extraordinary times are very important. The Chunin Exam, which was held in the second half of previous years, has been scheduled to the first half of the year in advance.

"Congratulations, Shizune, I wish you a smooth promotion to Chunin!"

Yuhi Kurenai said to Shizune with a gentle face.Said, from her sincere smile, it can be seen that she is really happy for her.

"Don't just talk about me, I also congratulate you!"

Shizune also smiled back. They both passed the Chunin Exam successfully. Compared with Nohara Rin, Obito and others, they passed it a year later.

"You two should stop complimenting each other. I will treat you tonight to celebrate."

Asuma, the second-generation official who had been waiting outside the examination room, said proudly. It must be said that there is a reason why Asuma married his wife so early.

He is willing to spend money. There is no routine. He just spends money. How simple and unpretentious. Which girl can not like such a generous man?

"That's what you said! I'm going to kill a rich man today!"

Yuhi Kurenai said without any embarrassment. After so many years, the two have gotten along very well. Being polite is actually awkward.

Of course, Asuma doesn't care about this little money. How much can two girls eat? Asuma has no other advantages in society, but has a Hokage father.

Usually his father didn't communicate with him much, but he gave him a lot of pocket money. Others only knew that the Third Hokage was strict, but they didn't know that the thick pocket money given to him by the Hokage who was not good at expressing his feelings every month was a heavy fatherly love!

"Damn! I almost passed this time!"

"You're better off. I was eliminated at the beginning..."

"These two girls look weak, but I didn't expect them to be so strong..."

"Isn't that Xiaoma brother? He actually knows these two people. Are all the friends of excellent people so excellent..."

The surrounding ninjas who failed to pass the exam were also talking about it. They also saw the scene here at Asuma, and they looked at them with envy.

"Then I'll take advantage of Hong and let Ma spend the money."

Shizune took Hong's arm and followed Asuma away with a sweet smile, which made the onlookers on the side envious.

Of course, there were other ninjas who passed the exam and were promoted to Chunin. Although no one treated them to a meal, they didn't mind inviting three or five friends to celebrate. However, those who failed to pass the exam felt even worse.
