Chapter 238 Prelude to the Gale, New Chunin Exam

Hokage's Office

"Tsunade-sama, this is the information of Konoha's registered Genin who are suitable for the Chunin Exam. Although nominally they need to be recommended by the team leader Jonin to participate, as the Hokage you still need to master this information."

"After all, some teams are short of players or have no one to recommend them for other reasons..." Not long after Tsunade sat down, Shizune pushed the door open with a pile of information.

"What! There are so many!" Seeing the information that was as thick as several stacks of books, Tsunade's face turned pale and she screamed in shock.

She hated dealing with information the most...

"There's nothing we can do about it! Who made you suddenly decide to hold the joint Chunin Exam? The team with the Jonin leader can be left to them to solve it themselves, and some excellent Genin such as Sai must be arranged by you..." Shizune chuckled and put the thick information directly on the desk.

"By the way, I have arranged for the Anbu to send people to send invitations to the powerful small ninja villages such as Kusagakure and Takigakure. Now there are only the four major ninja villages and the mysterious Rain Village, Tsunade-sama..."

"Rain Village!!" Hearing this impressive name, Tsunade's eyes flashed with memories and her eyes were solemn.

The Salamander Hanzo of the Rain Village was an existence that she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru could not defeat at the beginning! That was also the battle in which the three of them became the three ninjas of Konoha!!

Of course, that was many years ago. As for now...

"Tsunade-sama, have you heard about the rumors about the Rain Village? I heard that there are serious internal problems there, and there may be a rebellion! The entry and exit of the village is also very strict. Even relatives entering must be closely monitored. It is a most difficult place..." Seeing Tsunade lost in thought, Shizune handed over the prepared letter scroll and said with a headache.

"Well, the village ruled by Hanzo is like this!" Tsunade nodded in agreement, but she didn't care too much about the rumors of rebellion.

Hanzo's strength, even if he is old and weak now, is not easily overthrown.

After all, he is a man known as a demigod...

"However, this may also be an opportunity to test the Hidden Rain Village. Then, let Kakashi go and find out the information about Hidden Rain Village!" Tsunade's eyes sank, and she thought about it for a while and made a decision.

Although she was sure of Hanzo's strength, the so-called rumors could not be groundless, and necessary intelligence collection was a must!

"Eh? Can Kakashi do it alone?" Hearing Tsunade's decision, Shizune subconsciously questioned, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

Although the last conflict with Iwagakure proved that Kakashi was very strong, the other party was a legendary demigod after all...

"Then, what about me!" Just as Tsunade was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The next moment, a young man in white pushed the door straight in...

"Sa, Sasuke!!"

"You're back..."

Tsunade and Shizune looked at the door at the same time, and both pupils shrank in surprise.

"Sorry, Lord Hokage. I overheard your conversation..." Looking at the two people who were surprised, Sasuke smiled with a gleam in his eyes.

New Chunin Exam, Rain Village. It seems that he came back just in time! Unfortunately, Naruto, the idiot, didn't have time to come back to participate!

Uh, it seems that even if that guy comes back, he will not pass this test...

"Smelly boy, you are finally back! It seems that you have grown a lot in the past two years..." After carefully looking at the tall and strong Sasuke, Tsunade paused for a moment on the bright purple belt and stood up to greet him.

Orochimaru's belt? Is it a clothing feature of Ryuchi Cave...

"Sasuke, you finally finished your training!" Shizune next to him looked at Sasuke, who was a head taller than her, with stars in her eyes.

This kid seems to be more handsome than before! I really envy Sakura and Karin, who have such an outstanding genius of the same period...

Although her same period has the genius Kakashi, he is still not as good as Sasuke!

"Sorry, I'm two years late." Sasuke nodded to Shizune and turned to look at Tsunade to apologize.

"I'm glad you're back!" Tsunade waved her hand indifferently, and sat down again with an unprecedented relaxed mood.

Sasuke's strength was not inferior to that of an elite jonin before. Now that he has practiced the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique, he can at least fight against the existence of the shadow!

With Sasuke and Kakashi, plus her and Jiraiya, Konoha has regained its peak in high-end combat power!

Moreover, it is unknown what surprise Naruto will bring her...

How can Tsunade, who is facing the pressure of Akatsuki and the Fourth War, not be ecstatic! !

"Hokage-sama, let me and the teacher go to the Hidden Rain Village." Seeing that Tsunade was in a good mood, Sasuke immediately took the initiative to volunteer after what he had just said.

With the Sage Mode and the "Wedge" state one, he also wanted to try the strength of the Super Shadow Goalkeeper!

"Sorry, Sasuke. I believe Kakashi can handle the Hidden Rain Village! It just so happens that I'm having a headache about who to send to the Hidden Rock Village to deliver the letter. Maybe you are the right person now." Tsunade changed the subject and refused, throwing out a name that surprised Sasuke.

[Detect Tsunade's suggestion, triggering B-level reward.

Mission: Mission to Hidden Rock Village; Reward: Medical Experience Mastery...]

"Iwagakure Village!!" Sasuke was stunned when he heard Tsunade's suggestion, but he was not very interested in the triggered reward.

Although it was medical experience from Tsunade, he didn't need much in this regard!

"Yes, it's Iwagakure." Tsunade nodded solemnly to confirm, "You also know about the last conflict with Iwagakure. In order to prevent Iwagakure from making small moves, a ninja with outstanding strength must carry out this mission!"

"Sasuke, you also know that the Chunin Exam is a miniature battlefield where countries test each other's strength. Therefore, you who go to Iwagakure this time are also responsible for collecting intelligence about Iwagakure! This is the first S-level mission I have assigned to you!!"

"Is that so..." Hearing Tsunade's answer, Sasuke sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement.

It seems that going to Iwagakure to find old man Onoki is not a bad idea. He actually dared to hire Akatsuki to assassinate him and Kakashi. He has not forgotten this grudge!

"Then, go back and rest for two days and wait for my order. Well, by the way, meet up with Sakura and the others..." Seeing Sasuke take the task, Tsunade waved her hand and sent him away.

After all, Sasuke just came back, and it is a bit unreasonable to go out to perform tasks now! She also happened to confirm the specific time of the exam in these two days.

"How about them..." Sasuke murmured, thinking of Shikamaru and the others, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

I wonder if these guys have become stronger in the past two years without his intervention! !

"By the way, let me remind you that Sakura and Karin have changed a lot..." Just as Sasuke turned to leave, Tsunade suddenly thought of something and gave a reminder with a wicked smile.

"Big changes? Sakura, Karin..."

Sasuke paused when he heard this, and his face froze and turned slightly pale when he thought of the two women who inherited the great power of the wind god and thunder god.

These two guys, won't they become female Tyrannosaurus Rex under Tsunade's training...
