Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece

On the other side, the ninja world.

In a dark room at the Ark Proverbs base.

There are many devil fruits placed on the silver-white metal table.

However, the figure sitting at the table made no movement.

"Has the sacred tree been planted yet~"

Sensing that the clone had planted the sacred tree in the pirate world, Suzuki showed a smile on his face, and then looked deeply at the devil fruits piled on the table:

"It's really good..."

In the dim room, accompanied by bursts of chewing sounds, the devil fruits piled up like a hill quickly disappeared.

…

…

Time passes.

Soon we came to June 7, Year 53 of the Konoha Calendar, which can also be called the 6th year of the Great Treasure Era.

After more than ten years of accumulation, now, the existence of mutated creatures has been completely integrated into people's lives, and secret treasures have become something that everyone is pursuing and yearning for.

However, it is different from the chaos in the outside world where many ninjas and samurai are still fighting for the secret treasure.

The Country of Waves is still a peaceful and prosperous scene.

Near the Ark Proverbs base.

On a quay street on the coast.

The crowded scene of people coming and going declares the prosperity of this place.

There are children who are being chased around by their parents on running ducks, and there are vendors who are shouting about the latest meat products brought from the Kingdom of Water...

There was an endless stream of cries from vendors, laughter and curses from household chores, etc. But the most talked about news in the latest ninja world newspaper.

"Konoha is about to hold the Chunin Exam~"

"Isn't that strange? Doesn't Konoha Village hold it every year?"

"It's different. It's different this time. They invited more ninja villages this time. Look at what's written in today's newspaper, here -"

"Hey, really, so many villages have been invited, even our Country of Waves has been invited!"

"Yes, but we don't seem to have a ninja village, right?"

"Uh... It's a bit strange indeed. Why did you invite us?"

"..."

As people walked, they talked curiously about the strange behavior of Konoha Village.

At the same time, a little girl about five or six years old with beautiful red hair ran along the street and kept shouting, but almost no one bought it.

"Newspaper, the latest ninja world news ~ only twelve copies, sister, do you want it?"

"no, thanks."

"Uncle, do you want one?"

"No, I have..."

After running continuously in this Linxia weather, Uzumaki Xianglan's tender white forehead soon became covered with beads of sweat.

"Hello, give me one."

On both sides of the street, at a noodle stall, Suzuki slowly finished the noodles, then took out ten taels of silver notes from his pocket, looked at Uzumaki Koso with a gentle smile and said.

"Okay...ok!"

Uzumaki Xianglan ran over with joy on his short legs, took out a newspaper from a transparent bag hanging around his neck, and said: "Brother, your newspaper!"

"Um."

Suzuki took the newspaper, stuffed the banknote into Uzumaki Karin's little hand, and then said with a smile:

"Have you come out to work at such a young age?"

At this moment, the owner of the pastry stall smiled and said:

"Haha, Xiaoxiang has been very sensible since she was a child. She is now one of the senior reporters of Ninja World News, but this child still doesn't want her to have to run around too hard. One or two I started selling newspapers years ago.”

"Xiao Xianglan, you came just in time. I just have some freshly baked desserts here. You're not at home, right? Come on, take some back to eat!"

"Hehehe...thank you uncle, no need!"

Uzumaki Kaoru smiled sheepishly, then bowed to Suzuki and said:

"Thank you, big brother. I'm leaving. Welcome to visit next time."

After saying that, Uzumaki Koro waved his little hand, and the small figure quickly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

"Hey, this kid..."

The pastry stall owner shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, that's not bad."

Suzuki smiled, then spread out the newspaper, sat on a stool and read it carefully.

[The largest competition in the history of the ninja world is about to begin! ! 】

[Konoha Village will hold the Chunin Exam on June 17th! 】

[But unlike in the past, this time Konoha Village specially spent a lot of money to fund our newspaper and published a warm invitation advertisement——]

[In order to promote the peaceful development of the ninja world and allow all forces to have more friendly exchanges, our village will hold the Chunin Examination in the near future. We hereby hope that the Sunagakure Ninja Village, Kirigakure Ninja Village, Iwagakure Ninja Village, Raigakure Ninja Village, and Ume Ninja Village, Grass Ninja Village...Nami Country and all friends from the ninja world come to participate! 】

[This Chunin Examination follows the principle of friendship first, examination second, and at the same time... {Attached is the Chunin Exam Competition Rules and Regulations}]

[——The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, on behalf of himself, the senior management of Konoha Village, and all the people of Konoha, warmly welcomes friends from all walks of life to attend! 】

[——The above news is reported for you by Ninja World News! 】

After reading, Suzuki put away the newspaper with a calm expression, then took out the noodle money and handed it to the vendor, then turned and left.

On the streets of the dock, Suzuki was walking slowly among the crowd while thinking about the strange behavior of Namikaze Minato and the Leaf Village.

Generally speaking, when holding Chuunin exams, you basically just invite some friendly ninja villages to participate. If you want to establish your authority, the most you can do is bring in some hostile forces who want to attack and threaten.

But what Konoha Village did this time was extremely strange.

Not only did they invite almost all ninja villages, large and small, in the entire ninja world, but even the country of Wave, which had no ninja village, actually sent an invitation letter.

"It seems...it's not about establishing prestige."

"Are you here for the Ninja World News? Did Jiraiya-senpai find out anything? Or is that toad trying to cause trouble?"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes in thought.

Not long after.

As I thought about it all the way, the gate of Ark Proverbs Base was already in sight.

"It's time to go see that toad."

Suzuki looked thoughtfully in the direction of Mt. Miaomu, and then smiled brightly:

"As for the Chuunin exam, I can let Madara do it for fun."

…

…

At this time, next to the base, there was an empty ocean training ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A terrifying blue giant tens of meters tall stands on the sea with a giant sword. Every time he swings the sword, the sea becomes turbulent.

Opposite, several children who looked to be eight or nine years old, and a white-haired man who was about to become an adult, were fighting against the blue giant.

The ice cubes that appeared out of nowhere froze the blue giant's feet together with the sea. Then sharp bone bullets were shot at the blue giant at a faster speed than bullets, and the blood dragon soared over the sea... (End of this chapter)
