Red sand dust

When this year's joint chuunin examination entered the third trial stage in charge of Konoha Village, external publicity had officially begun.

The great names and slightly famous nobles of the Land of Fire were all invited, and many representatives of large-scale civil forces also received invitations.

As for distinguished guests from outside the Fire Country, not many can come.

The Tsuchikage, Raikage and Mizukage, all of whom had been eliminated from the exams, had made it clear that they would not come to watch the ceremony. It would not be interesting to see young ninjas from other villages show off their power and their own army was wiped out.

Shibaki, the leader of the Taki ninja, also declined with excuses.

Only the Kazekage Fifth Generation Gaara said that he would go to the Leaf Village as scheduled to watch the third trial competition with the Hokage Fifth Generation Tsunade.

In addition to the mysterious Taki Ninfu, the only ones who entered the competition venue were Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja.

The star candidates that everyone is talking about are undoubtedly the genius Hinata Neji and the Hokage disciple Haruno Sakura.

It's a pity that there is no gimmick to promote like the previous one.

What is surprising is that Konoha Village, which is proficient in creating momentum, still found a topic that is enough to attract attention.

Looking at the promotional posters posted in the streets and alleys of Konoha Village, the headshots and huge full-body high-definition pictures of the eleven candidates are really eye-catching.

In the history of the Chuunin Exams, this was the first time that more than half of the female ninjas participated in the third trial.

Women should not be inferior to men, this year is not just a slogan, but has become a reality.

Among the five male genin, in addition to Hyuga Neji's handsome appearance, some are gloomy, some are lazy, and they also have scarred faces and thick eyebrows. Although they can attract some attention, in the end they are still far behind the handsome guy with facial paralysis, Uchiha Sasuke. cut.

The kunoichi aspect is much better. The shy eldest lady, the girl next door, the naive and silly girl, the heroic female boxer, the long and straight fake smile, and the strong and strong lady can basically cover the aesthetics of most people, with some weird fetishes. , it is difficult to be satisfied and there is no solution. It is impossible to take advantage of all the good things.

"Is this year's main focus on female ninjas? There is a different kind of beauty when the charming girls are put together with the bloody fighting..."

A beautiful girl with short hair in a black robe touched her chin and looked at the bulletin board posted at the door of the office building with interest. She had a smile on her face and blurred eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You Iwa ninjas have all been eliminated, why do you still care about this?"

The one who stopped to watch was Kurotsuchi, the representative of the Hidden Leaf Village who came to coordinate the relationship between the "Rescue Team" led by Hatake Kakashi, the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki, and the Iwagakure Village.

His strange behavior also attracted the attention of Yuno, Koji and Shishio behind him.

"Exams and other things are not what we Iwa Ninja are good at. If we really want to compete, we'll see you on the battlefield..."

Kurotsuchi came back to his senses and waved his hand.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you today! For such a grand event, should we make a handicap and take a gamble... No, we want to make a profit!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kurotsuchi was very troublesome. Regardless of the cold looks from the three people opposite him, he said to himself:

"You sand ninjas presided over the first and second tests. You must know the truth about the candidates who passed the test. As long as you attract everyone to place bets, and then secretly mislead and manipulate the odds, you can harvest a lot of wealth! I think! I want all the rich people in the ninja world to gather together. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when the next time will be..."

"No surprise, it will be there next year!"

No matter how sociable she is, Yuno, a Suna ninja, cannot get close to Kurotsuchi, an Iwa ninja who is about the same age.

"There are so many big and small light and dark markets, why should I come to you?"

"You are all stupid, look at this..."

Kurotsuchi slapped the promotional poster with his hand angrily.

"Even the Konoha ninjas who took over halfway know how to use 'contrast cuteness' to advertise, but you guys don't understand anything. No wonder Sunagakure Village is so poor. The talent of being poor is probably engraved in your souls. You are born without making money. life..."

It was too rude to expose one's shortcomings in person. Yuno and Koji, who looked ugly, were about to argue. Shishio stepped out of the crowd and stopped the two teammates who were a little angry:

"This very smart colleague Iwa Ninja, maybe you are right, thank you very much for your advice..."

"Hello……"

The unexpected show of weakness by their companion made Koji and Yuno a little confused and couldn't help but look at Shishio with searching eyes.

Only Kurotsuchi felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What do you mean?"

"I've made it very clear!"

Zhi Zhixiong said in a slightly gloomy tone,

"Since you have clearly explained the secret to making money in public, we Suna ninjas are not fools. We can just do it ourselves. Why do we need to take you along with us?"

In the end, he expressed his gratitude very sincerely, which was quite polite.

"You guys, want to kick me out as the initiator?"

Realizing the key, Yuno and Koji smiled at each other, and then left with Shishio, leaving Kurotsuchi alone and sulking.

In the entire ninja world, there are very few public activities that can really create momentum. Apart from the Five Kage Conference, there are not even a few decent international organizations. There are no so-called Olympic Games, transnational sports events, etc. The ones that can have a little influence are horse racing and Very few movie stars.

In such an environment, people lack the conditions for small gambling to make them happy and large gambling to harm their health. In addition to going to gambling houses in big towns to play a few games, there are also some traditional regional competitions, such as cross-country long-distance running, underground black boxing, and competitions. There are some small forces such as the boat opening the market.

The Chuunin Examination, which is the largest in the history of the ninja world, has the largest number of participants, and has the greatest influence. It is unknown how many practitioners who smell the fishy smell will swarm in.

It is unknown whether some of them are secretly manipulated by the five major ninja villages or a certain family.

…

While all parties were secretly competing for the benefits of the Chunin Exam, the closed-door meeting at the Hokage House was in full swing.

In addition to Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage who hosted the show, Mito Kadeni, Koharu and Shimura Danzo were all present. Also present were Hatake Kakashi, the leader of the "Rescue Team", Nara Shikaku, the Jonin squad leader, and those who had been to Sarawak. Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and Metkai from the Hidden Village.

"Our enemy, the 'Akatsuki' organization, has mastered the information about the power of the Rinnegan Eye. It has been confirmed. At the same time, the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki has been captured. It is estimated that there is a bad news!"

After tapping the table lightly to attract everyone's attention, Tsunade announced the news that shocked everyone.

"The Tsuchikage Sandaime Ohnoki, who is obsessed with saving face, has admitted that when he joined forces with Daimaru, he was defeated by six puppets without even being able to see the owner of the Rinnegan Eye, and even stole the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki..."

Although there was some evidence in the past, there was no physical evidence. Shimura Danzo, who had seen the power of Nagato's Samsara Eye, did not take the initiative to confess, and Nagato, who lived in seclusion, could not be exposed.

I'm a little busy tonight, so I'll just update it once. I'll watch the game tonight, and I'll update it tomorrow.
