Chapter 264: Hokage Leaves the Village, the Calm Before the Storm

Konoha, Hokage Building

"Kakashi, then the safety of Konoha is in your hands." The fifth generation Tsunade, wearing the Hokage hat, gave the final instructions. Behind her were the Hokage guards led by Shizune and Genma.

Opposite her were the strongest elites of Konoha led by Kakashi, Anbu Tenzo, Kai and Asuma...

"Hokage, do you really not need me to go to Sunagakure?" After thinking about it, Kakashi was still a little worried.

All signs have shown that [Akatsuki] is likely to appear in the second exam. It is too risky for Tsunade to go with only the guards!

The fourth generation Kazekage of Sunagakure is a lesson learned...

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with the Genma team. Besides, Jiraiya should also rush over..." Tsunade waved her hand carelessly, not worrying about her own safety.

Whether it is the Flying Thunder God Formation of the Genma team, or Sasuke, Sakura, Karin and others, or her own strength, they are not afraid of the challenge of [Akatsuki]!

She would never miss this opportunity to test Akatsuki in the Ninja World!!

"You informed Lord Jiraiya! Then Naruto..." Kakashi blurted out subconsciously upon hearing this, and the worry in his heart was instantly replaced by Naruto's return.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, I wonder how much that guy has grown!

But no matter how strong he is, he is no match for Mangekyō Sasuke.

Thinking of Sasuke, who is already a senior ninja, Kakashi couldn't help but smile mischievously...

Naruto will definitely find trouble with Sasuke unconvinced!

At the same time, in the Kingdom of Wind.

In the desert with flying yellow sand, more than a dozen ninja teams are struggling to move forward under the scorching sun, and many of them are already pale and panting...

"Unfortunately, your exam ends here!" Suddenly, Neji Shino appeared in front of everyone and announced ruthlessly.

This sudden change made everyone present change their faces! !

"How could this happen? We have been running hard for three days..."

"That's right, we are almost there, please give us a chance."

"Didn't you say that we would eliminate the last 30 people? We have nearly 40 people now, so we still have a chance..."

"Yes, that's it! You examiners can't go back on your word again!!"

In between breaths, some candidates who were tired as dead dogs shouted again, and they were in a very ugly state for a while...

"You are so embarrassed just by rushing, you don't have the strength to face the cruel test that follows. Once you enter the Demon Desert, even we can't guarantee our absolute safety..."

"We are just a kind reminder as examiners. If you insist on going in to die, we won't stop you."

In the face of the unexpected surprise of the candidates, Ningci Shino said coldly and unconventionally.

"How can you do this? Your duty as examiners is to ensure our safety. How can you just ignore it?"

"That's right, we came here at the invitation of Konoha. So this is the style of a great country in Konoha..."

The candidates who were broken finally couldn't help but roared and shouted, causing Ningci Shino's face to change slightly.

"You are too much nonsense..." Just when Ningci Shino was about to teach a few people a lesson, Sasuke's arrogant snort suddenly came from above everyone's head.

The next moment, the cold scarlet three magatama reflected in everyone's pupils...

"Then, as you wish! Eliminate the last 30 people, start!!" Looking at the frightened people, Sasuke sneered and drew a horizontal line to urge.

"I'll go first..."

"Don't underestimate us, go quickly."

"Don't think of succeeding, stop them..."

Soon, in less than three seconds, the candidates reacted and struggled to rush towards the horizontal line of sand.

In an instant, the camp partners who had just shared the same hatred for the enemy turned into the most fierce competitors, and all kinds of means were used to race against time...

Soon, with the unwilling expressions of 30 people, several teams broke through the horizontal line with difficulty and stepped into the Demon Desert.

"Are you very unwilling? Maybe you will change your mind soon. Now you are just eliminated, and they have one foot in hell..." Looking at the unwilling candidates, Sasuke left a meaningful sentence and flew away in an instant.

It's hard to persuade the damned ghosts with good words. If they want to die, give them a chance!

"Hell!!" Hearing Sasuke's blunt words, everyone took a breath again, looking at the gradually disappearing backs with complicated eyes.

Ningci and Shino looked at each other, and then they quickly chased Sasuke again...

Night, Demon Desert Monitoring Station.

"Ahahaha...eat, eat, finally I can have a full meal..." The hungry Choji looked at the delicious buffet in front of him, his ten fingers moved and drooled.

"We are representing Konoha this time, please be restrained, Choji..." Ino sighed helplessly, while Sakura beside her took the opportunity to look around.

"12 people from Sunagakure, 9 people from Iwagakure, 9 people from Kumogakure, 6 people from Kirigakure, 6 people from Amegakure, 3 people from Kusagakure, 3 people from Takigakure, plus our 12 people from Konoha, there are 20 groups of 60 people in total. More than a dozen groups were eliminated on the way, it seems that the next exam is not optimistic..." After quickly collecting simple information, Sakura kindly reminded the people around her.

This time, in addition to the three groups of nine people, Konoha also had a team that was lucky enough to reach the second round.

"The eyes of Sunagakure are so arrogant..." Inuzuka Kiba looked at the opposite Sunagakure team with displeasure. They were all allies, but they were treated like this.

"Your eyes are fierce, right?" Karin looked at Inuzuka Kiba and couldn't help but complain with a dark face. Why does this guy look so unreliable?

While they were talking, other ninjas in the ninja village were also paying close attention.

"Hey... This is my food, you guys from Konoha, get out of here." Suddenly, the huge, sweaty fat Kusagakure ninja suddenly got angry.

While grabbing the food without restraint, he looked at the red-haired girl Karin calmly.

Guys who betrayed Kusagakure, don't think you can escape the blame by joining Konoha!

"Damn it, don't waste my food." Seeing this, how could Choji bear it? He immediately rushed up and pushed the fat Kusagakure ninja away.

In an instant, the fat man who was ready to make trouble took the opportunity to fall to the food table...

"Bang..."

Just when the fat Kusagakure ninja was about to overturn the food table, a red afterimage flashed and punched him.

The next second, the face of the Kusagakure Genin changed drastically, and his body smashed through the wall and flew backwards quickly...

"Ayumi..." The other two companions were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly chased after him through the hole in the wall.

"Hmph, don't think I didn't find out that you are targeting me. I hate the ninjas of Kusagakure Village the most!" Karin proudly raised her little fist and snorted disdainfully.

But a trace of subtle solemnity flashed in the depths of her eyes. That Kusagakure Genin was not simple! The feeling she gave her just now was like hitting cotton! !

"Hydrangea, record it." Almost at the same time that Karin was secretly suspicious, Yuyin accelerated the collection of intelligence.

"Yes." The short-haired girl named Hydrangea nodded and recorded it, but her eyes fell on the Takigakure Village.

The two companions of the girl, no matter how you look at them, don't look like partners, but more like surveillance and guards...

This girl deserves special attention! !
