Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Chapter 2184 Pre-registration (4000 words)

Six days before the Chunin exam, Hokage office.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama, this is the list of candidates from Caoyin Village who arrived today."

The honest and conscientious assistant carefully placed the organized scrolls on the right hand side of the third Hokage who was busy with official duties, and put this matter at the top priority.

"Well...you've worked hard, and it's getting late, you should go back and rest first."

But upon hearing this sound, the Third Hokage did not lift his head, and circled the scroll he was looking at now.

With the Chunin exam approaching, so many ninja villages were invited, and there were many coordination and defense issues. Even a seasoned handler like the Third Hokage could only work overtime at this time.

And now, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. For this newly married assistant, Third Hokage didn't want him to stay up all night with him.

"No! Third Hokage-sama, please let me finish these matters with you. Although I may not be able to help you much, there are still some finishing tasks..."

Regarding this, the conscientious assistant hurriedly said.

For this old man who should have retired a long time ago, the conscientious assistant only has admiration and gratitude in his heart. Seeing such an old man staying up all night, he can't help but want to share more for him.

At the same time, he knew that his abilities were limited, and the reason why he was able to become Hokage's assistant was entirely because there were no suitable talents in the village, and also because his predecessor and his predecessor were too outstanding, especially his predecessor, if he was still alive. , It is estimated that he has taken over the position of Hokage in place of this venerable old man.

And I was chosen to be Hokage's assistant because of my serious attitude towards work.

Compared with other candidates, he made the fewest mistakes in dealing with affairs, and he was able to share Hokage's worries in sorting out and affairs arrangements to the greatest extent.

Compared with the deeds of the old man who was able to decide some matters on his own, and even handle things more efficiently and effectively than the current old man, it is simply impossible to help.

However, even so, he still wanted to be by the old man's side and share some of the burden for him.

Let such an old man be burdened with heavy official duties, stay up until four or five in the morning every day, and sleep for less than four hours. Even if this old man is a powerful ninja, he can't bear such consumption.

And all of this is due to the inaction of their younger generation, because they have no extraordinary talents or excellent abilities, so there has been no candidate for the fifth generation of Hokage, so they can only let the old man in front of him come. carry these burdens.

At this moment, the conscientious assistant looked at the old man beside him who was busy with official duties without even raising his head, feeling ashamed and guilty in his heart.

"No! No need, why don't you go back early to spend time with your family? Now that the Chunin exam is coming up, it's easier, and the arrangements have been made, and the next step is actually a matter of execution. Don't worry, I will be early today. rest."

And at this time, as if he had insight into the assistant's mind, the third Hokage said so.

With that said, he put the scroll in his hand into the area of ​​the completed file.

I didn't say this to comfort the assistant in front of me, this young man who has been with me until the end of the day, assisting me with a clear heart.

Although limited by his talent, he couldn't really share his worries like his predecessor, but he worked hard and didn't make any mistakes, which saved him a lot of time in sorting out and arranging. This young man has already done Very good.

He is very satisfied.

After all, it is rare to see a child like that in a thousand years, and Konoha can give birth to such a child, which can be said to be a kind of gift.

And now, this young man has already established a family, how can he stay up so late with a bad old man like him?

No matter what job this kid is doing, he is also a member of Konoha.

And as Konoha's patriarch, how can he deprive him of his precious rest time.

What's more, now there is really only execution left. Except for the daily routine report, basically all the ninjas from the villages participating in the Zhongnin Exam have arrived. What they have to do is to prevent and control the safety of the village and various frictions. .

The workload has been reduced by at least forty percent.

At this time, there is really no need for this young man to sacrifice his time.

He alone is enough.

"But...Three Hokage-sama..."

But upon hearing this sound, the conscientious assistant pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, but his figure did not move, his brows were slightly frowned, but he showed a thoughtful expression.

Obviously, thinking about the words of rebuttal.

"Okay, then, tell me about the conditions of the candidates in Caoyin Village?"

In this regard, looking at this honest and unspoken assistant, but conscientious and never making mistakes, Sandai Hokage sighed silently in his heart. This is already the case, and he can no longer win the heart of this child.

So, the Three Hokages said so.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this sound, the conscientious assistant's face immediately showed joy, and he responded excitedly, and then opened the scroll in a hurry.

"There are a total of 15 participants in Caoyin Village this time. A ninja from Caoyin Village is the instructor, and all of them have arrived in the village a few days ago."

However, although he opened the scroll, he didn't look at it, and spoke directly.

"Fifteen... Well, I see."

In this regard, the third Hokage nodded, as if he had expected that Caoyin Village would send so many ninjas to participate in the experiment, or in other words, he had expected that the number of participants in Caoyin Village would not be small.

No!

It should be said that in this Zhongnin exam, the number of participants in each ninja village is unlikely to be small.

This Chunin exam is basically a show, a big show to show the strength of the village and its future level.

Konoha wants to shine on this show, let alone other ninja villages.

What's more, this time even the Fourth Kazekage came here, and two of the five great ninja villages attach so much importance to it. How could the other small ninja villages not know the reason.

This is normal.

"Three Hokage-sama, isn't this... Hidden Grass Village a bit strange?"

However, the third Hokage thought it was normal, but the conscientious assistant didn't think so.

"Oh? What's weird?"

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage looked at his assistant and said.

"Time, the time is too strange. The day after we allowed Caoyin Village to take the Zhongnin Exam, the lower ninjas of Caoyin Village had already arrived at the village. Isn't that strange? It's like..."

Hearing this, the conscientious assistant spoke out what he thought was suspicious, but at the end of the speech, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and seemed a little unconfident. When it came to the last three words, he was a little unsustainable.

"Hahahaha! It's good that you can notice this. It's okay, go ahead."

Seeing that the assistant seemed hesitant to say something at the end, Sandai Hokage gave a rare smile and said.

"It's as if, if we knew it a long time ago, we would agree."

Hearing the words of Sandai Hokage and seeing the venerable old man laughing heartily, the conscientious assistant took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the assistant pluck up the courage to speak out, Sandai Hokage smiled again, looking very happy.

"That's right, Haneda Yuzawa, the leader of Caoyin Village, is indeed sure that we will agree."

Later, he explained to this loyal, honest and dedicated assistant.

"this……"

Hearing this, the conscientious assistant was slightly taken aback, but he didn't know what to say.

Three generations of Naruto-sama...

What does it mean?

And in his heart, he had already started racking his brains to think about the meaning behind the words of these three generations of Hokage.

"It's very simple. We have no reason to refuse. After all, Caoyin Village is a force that cannot be ignored, and even in a closed state, it has not completely rejected our Konoha trade. Obviously, it has a special interest in Konoha. Favor, and, before this Haneda Yuzawa specially revised a book, which is constantly showing us favor, how can we refuse their request to participate in the Zhongnin exam?"

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage patted the shoulder of the seriously thinking assistant, and said bluntly.

"So, that is?"

Hearing this, the doubtful look on the conscientious assistant's face immediately dispelled, and he subconsciously spoke.

"Yes, when the envoy named Haneda Ichiyo left Caoyin Village, this Haneda Yuzawa selected fifteen ninjas in the fastest time, and within almost a day's time difference, let these The ninjas are leaving."

In this regard, the third Hokage said quite knowingly.

"If the ninjas of Caoyin Village don't arrive today or tomorrow, I will doubt the intentions of this Haneda Yuzawa! A person who can suddenly ascend to the position of leader of Caoyin Village from obscurity, how can this be possible? Can't do it?

It is precisely because of his ability to make decisions that he was able to replace the former leader of Caoyin Village who was outstanding in the Third Ninja World War!

Don't worry, this is normal. "

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage spoke again, in words, to reassure this conscientious assistant.

"Yes, I see."

Hearing this, the conscientious assistant nodded and responded.

It turns out that there is another layer of inference here.

Sure enough, I couldn't think of it.

At least not for a long time.

Three generations of Hokage deliberately put it so bluntly, knowing that it is impossible for me to think of this level in a short time.

I really...

Still no talent!

But in his heart, there are some low thoughts.

"Then, it doesn't matter if the envoy Haneda Kazuyo is among the test takers?"

However, although his heart was a little depressed, he still honestly and bravely brought up the strange things he saw.

Although there is no talent, the work that should be done is still to be done.

If you think it's weird, just ask!

It's precisely because you don't have talent and you can't see it, so you have to ask clearly, don't you?

Maybe, you can find the really weird place by hitting the right button!

And in his heart, he thought so.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting such a situation, and said immediately.

"Ichiyo Haneda, the envoy of Caoyin Village, is going to take the Chunin Exam."

And hearing the words of the third Hokage, the conscientious assistant obviously didn't expect his Hokage to be so excited, he was slightly taken aback, and then said what he just said in a more clearly expressive grammar.

"Give me the list of candidates."

In this regard, the third Hokage frowned and said.

"yes!"

The conscientious assistant hurriedly handed over the scroll in his hand to the Third Hokage.

I am...

Is it right?

Is this what's suspicious?

And in his mind, such a thought flashed involuntarily.

Kazuyo Haneda...

This kid, is he going to take the Chunin Exam?

Um……

After receiving the scroll, the Third Hokage carefully read the scroll from beginning to end.

On the scroll, the number of pre-registrants in Caoyin Village is indeed fifteen.

And among the fifteen people, the names of three people are different from the information they received.

That's right, before this, the third Hokage had actually investigated the details of the ninja who participated in the examination in Caoyin Village.

Although there is no detailed information, the names of at least fifteen people are known.

After all, he is the leader of Grass Hidden Village who suddenly came to power, and because the Country of Grass is closed and closed, due to this sensitive state, Konoha can't go too far to investigate the Country of Grass, so there is some information about the Country of Grass, At least during the period of seclusion, what Konoha knew was basically blank.

And during this blank period, the leader of Caoyin Village suddenly changed positions, and then there was a gloomy letter for help from the daimyo of the country of grass, even if Haneda Yuzawa showed kindness to Konoha, the third Hokage could not be without any precautions.

In other words, Sandai Hokage was not naive enough to fully believe it.

During this day, Konoha was not idle, and everything that should be investigated was understood.

Out of respect, Konoha may not specifically investigate the abilities of these fifteen ninjas, but basic information such as names can still be obtained.

Therefore, the third Hokage knows the names of the ninjas who participated in the Zhongnin exam in Caoyin Village.

And now, on this pre-registration list, there are three names whose names are different from the information they collected.

One of the names of these three people is Haneda Kazuyo, the former envoy of Caoyin Village.

And the rest are also two relatively unfamiliar names without any intelligence information.

Tatsuhiko Haneda, and Anna Haneda!

Both are members of the Haneda clan of the Haneda Yuzawa clan!

Among the other twelve names, none of them had Haneda as their surname.

In other words, Caoyin Village temporarily changed the test participants.

In this case, there are articles in it, but it is not simply regarded as a possible temporary change, so the personnel are changed.

Here, this accident is very important.

After all, no one can guarantee that this accident will not harm Konoha.

There is no guarantee that Haneda Yuzawa will do anything that is unfavorable to Konoha during this change.

"Come here, let me check why Caoyin Village changed people."

And thinking of this, the third Hokage didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order straightforwardly.

This matter needs to be investigated!
