Chapter 2396 Yes

Caoyin Village, yes.

In the unfolded scroll, these four words were written briefly, reflected in the slightly surprised eyes of the Third Hokage.

"Is the news accurate?"

Then, after looking at no one around him, the Third Hokage uttered this sentence.

"One hundred percent accurate."

In response, a voice sounded from the shadow behind the Third Hokage.

"So, has Chiba returned to the village?"

After hearing this sound, the Third Hokage put away the scroll in his hand with different expressions, moved his eyes, but looked down again. It seemed as if he saw something insignificant.

This sentence sounded and looked like an insignificant reply.

"Yes, according to the news from Lord Chiba, he has returned to Konoha Village at this time."

In this regard, from the shadow behind him, there was such an affirmation.

As the ANBU directly under the Third Hokage who established intelligence contact with Chiba-sama in the past six months, although the news about Chiba-sama is basically passive, the activities of Chiba-sama in the past six months seem to have It has become active. Basically, during this period, there is news about this Chiba-sama every ten days and a half. In the past few days, news has been sent back several times.

Among them was the news that he was about to return to the village. Although there was no news about Uchiha Nobuhiko, it was very clear that Chiba-sama had sent back the news that he had returned to the village, and it was passed along with this scroll.

"Yeah……"

In response, the Third Hokage nodded.

It turns out that he has come back.

Although I had said before that I would come back during this Chunin Exam, I didn't expect that I would actually come back.

Moreover, it seems that he has been back for quite some time, and has at least conducted a thorough investigation of Caoyin Village.

Then, there should be no problem with my decision.

At this time, such a thought flashed through the mind of the Third Hokage.

Obviously, the four words on the scroll he saw just now, the word "ke", refer to his alliance with Caoyin Village, and judging from the handwriting and the message from this ANBU, Judging from this incident, there is no doubt that this scroll is the message sent to him by Qianye.

Combined with the news that Chiba was about to return to the village a few months ago, it is not difficult to infer that Chiba has returned to the village.

It is obvious that Chiba is in favor of this alliance.

At least, it has been determined that Kusakin Village can be trusted, and it can be trusted at this stage, otherwise Chiba would never pass on this kind of information, but would instead advise.

In other words, this alliance and signing of a written covenant are acceptable.

"So, now, how's it going over there in Kusakuin Village?"

Then, thinking of this, the Third Hokage no longer struggled with the issue of the alliance, but turned to ask other questions.

"Everything is normal. All the genin who failed the second test have been found, and the guesthouses placed in Kusakure Village have been upgraded to Allied status, and according to your instructions, the specifications have been raised one level."

After these words, another voice sounded in the shadow behind the Third Hokage. It seemed that there was not only one person in the shadow.

"Ah, very good."

In response, the Third Hokage nodded and seemed quite satisfied.

Now, Kusagakure Village has become a very strategic ally that Konoha has won, so the treatment will naturally be improved, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a show to other small ninja villages.

Konoha cannot win over the Great Ninja Village. Now that the power of the Small Ninja Village is rising, the Third Hokage will not give up this opportunity.

Showing off one's prestige in this Chunin Exam and gathering information are one thing. Winning over the small ninja village as much as possible is also an extremely important thing in this Chunin Exam.

Moreover, the Third Hokage is no longer sure about the situation of this Chunin Exam. With the appearance of Orochimaru and the emergence of Kusagakure Village, based on his experience, he can predict the situation of this Chunin Exam without even thinking about it. , I am afraid there is already an undercurrent surging behind the scenes. At this time, it is also very necessary to have one more ally.

In other words, the reason why the Third Hokage signed the alliance in such a hurry was because he felt that this Chunin Exam was unusual.

At the same time, it also means that the Third Hokage is already somewhat beyond his capabilities.

However, now that he has won the alliance of Kusagakure Village, he can breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, even if something goes wrong in the Chuunin Examination, and something happens to Konoha, since Chiba has said that Kusugakure Village can be trusted .

Then, Kusagakure Village will definitely do its best to help Konoha in the event of possible changes, in order to win more trust, consolidate the alliance, and facilitate the development of future alliance relationships. After all, Konoha needs to provide educational resources. This is a resource that fundamentally changes a shinobi village, and Kusagakure will never miss it.

And with the strength shown by Kusakure Village now, the three Haneda children alone can cope with quite a lot of changes.

Moreover, as long as the news of the alliance is secretly spread later, even if there is something behind the scenes, I am afraid they will have to consider whether the alliance between Konoha and the current Kusugakure Village can succeed in their original plan.

Otherwise, the Third Hokage would not have hurriedly entered into an alliance with the Kusakure Village under unclear circumstances, and established a complete alliance in one fell swoop, without any temptation at all.

In fact, he knew very well that the situation in Konoha was already very serious during this Chunin Exam.

"Report!",

And at this moment, after the Third Hokage's rather full-dressed nod, a third voice sounded from the shadows.

However, there was another ninja who reported.

"What's wrong?"

In this regard, the Third Hokage remained calm and asked.

"Captain Watanabe Kensei has been in contact with the Haneda trio, and has sent the injured Haneda Kazuha to the hospital. Haneda Tatsuhiko followed him to the hospital, and Haneda Anna has returned to the hotel."

Hearing this, there was no nonsense, the third person in the shadow said so, and told all the information that needed to be reported.

"Huh? Injured?"

In response to this, the Third Hokage was slightly startled, but after all, he could not keep his calm face and said so.

"Yes, Haneda Kazuha is injured and looks very serious. However, Captain Watanabe Kensei has completed the treatment and it seems that there is no problem anymore."

Hearing this, the third voice spoke again.

"Really... I understand. Please step back first. If Qian Cheng has any information that needs to be passed on, send it to me as soon as possible."

In response, the Third Hokage nodded and said.

Haneda Kazuha... was injured?

With his strength, who can hurt him?

But at this time, the Third Hokage's heart was filled with solemnity.

Needless to say, the strength of Haneda Kazuha is definitely far beyond the level of genin, and even the level of chuunin. Even Gaara of the sand waterfall, which is already famous in Hidden Sand Village, I'm afraid he is not his opponent.

There is definitely a place for him among jounin.

And this can be inferred from his performance, but his performance is far from showing his full strength. In other words, the elites in this Chunin Examination have no way to test the full strength of Haneda Kazuha. Even some of the strength cannot be tested.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe Haneda Kazuyo's strength as unfathomable. At least, the current Third Hokage cannot guess all his strength.

Only relying on previous tests can only deduce the tip of the iceberg.

However, even this tip of the iceberg is enough to amaze the Third Hokage's vision and experience.

If it weren't for Kazuyo Haneda's face, which really prevented him from generating hostility, and with the alliance of Kusakure Village, I'm afraid the Third Hokage would have spent a lot of effort to collect information about Kazuyo Haneda, and put him in this incident. The level of attention during the Ninja Exam was adjusted to the same level as Orochimaru.

And now, Haneda Kazuha was injured without them knowing, and it looked very serious.

This is very tricky.

In such a situation, at least there is someone in Konoha Village who is hostile to Kusugakure Village, or who is hostile to Konoha and wants to interfere with the Chunin Exam, or use this Chunin Exam to attack Konoha, or is hostile to Kusugakure Village. A powerful enemy who has ideas for both Konoha and Konoha.

A powerful enemy that can seriously injure Haneda Kazuha!

Could it be...

Are there quasi-S, S-level or even S-level or above enemies infiltrating the village?

So, it's a loss...

At this time, thinking of this, the Third Hokage felt a little grateful in addition to being dignified.

Fortunately, he formed an alliance with Kusakure Village so quickly. If such a ninja really launched an attack in Konoha, it cannot be said that Konoha will be in chaos, but a large number of losses are still very likely.

After all, this Chunin Exam has concentrated all the seeds of Konoha for the next twenty years, and these seeds may be able to defeat such a powerful enemy in the future, but now, they can only be slaughtered.

If they were massacred, Konoha would probably be in a slump for thirty to fifty years.

Could it be that……

Their goal, the goal of those undercurrents, is the seeds of Konoha...or even the seeds of other Xiaonin villages?

Suppressing the recovery of Konoha's vitality, hurting the little ninja village, and shirking all the responsibilities to the village...

Um……

This issue……

Then, thinking of this, the Third Hokage thought keenly.

"Contact Chiba as much as possible. I have something I want to talk to him about."

Then, he spoke.

"yes!"

In response, the first voice in the shadow behind him responded without hesitation, and then the shadow seemed to fade a little.

It seems that something has left.

"Discuss with Miss Harmony and deploy a team of ANBU elites directly under them to protect everyone in Kusanagi Village within these two days. Also, explain to Miss Harmony that Konoha Village is very likely to be facing an attack now. , in response to the attack on everyone in the Chuunin Examination, no one in Kusagakure Village should leave the guest house for these two days."

Then, very decisively, he gave the order directly.

"yes!"

But after hearing this sound, there was a response from the shadows, but it became fainter, and it was obvious that something had left again.

"What else is there!"

However, after hearing this response and feeling that the three people behind him had left, the Third Hokage frowned and spoke with a rather stern face.

"The Third Hokage, Danzo-sama has something to discuss with you."

After this stern sound, a very polite voice sounded from the shadow behind the Third Hokage.

It was a voice that was so polite that it sounded a little distant.

Sure enough...is it Danzo?

At this time, hearing this sound, the Third Hokage frowned even more tightly, as if he felt that it was even more difficult and troublesome.

However, as if he had expected this, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Right now, I'm in the midst of the Chunin Exams, so it's not convenient for me to leave."

However, despite what he was thinking in his mind, the Third Hokage's words were no longer severe, but rather gentle.

"Here, I would like to ask the Third Hokage to move forward. Lord Danzo will tell you and..."

In response, what came from the shadows was not a majestic response from the Hokage, but a sound of embarrassment.

"I know very well what Danzo means. However, this matter is no longer negotiable. I have already reached an agreement with the representative of Kusakure Village. We will discuss everything after the alliance is formed."

In this regard, the Third Hokage said straightforwardly.

In the words, there is quite a feeling of "is Danzo the Hokage or am I the Hokage, are you loyal to Konoha's Hokage or Shimura Danzo".

"Yes, I understand!"

Apparently, the ninja in the shadow understood what the Third Hokage meant and responded immediately.

Then, after answering, the shadow became lighter, and it was obvious that he had left.

But at this time...

Danzo, I really can’t understand you more and more now.

Where have you extended your tentacles?

But at this time, feeling that there was no one behind him, the Third Hokage's expression became more solemn.

Although he knew that Danzo would definitely stop his alliance with Kusakure Village and he was mentally prepared, the tone and words of the ninja just now made him feel that his Hokage's authority had been challenged.

At least, he knew that his childhood friend, the best friend he had fought alongside for decades, already had his own power.

And whether this power belonged to the Leaf Village or Danzo Shimura, he couldn't tell clearly.

Moreover, since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Gen's actions have become more and more like they are out of control.

Especially regarding the genocide of the Uchiha clan, his close friend's firm attitude surprised him, and he didn't know how this close friend convinced Koharu and Men Yan, and even moved Chiba out. Useless.

Moreover, Chiba's ambiguous attitude on this matter was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Whatever!

It can only be this way!

I have begun to run out of power, and it’s time for the village to be handed over to the younger generation.

This time, Chiba should not go out again.

The position of Hokage should also be handed over to the fifth generation.

But thinking of this, a look of desolation flashed across the face of the Third Hokage. His age and body could no longer support such a large village.

The willfulness of some children cannot be indulged.

What should have been done a long time ago should be done!
