Chapter 2405 0 Ye’s Information

"The third Hokage-sama, Chiba-sama's reply has arrived."

While watching the fierce battle below, a low report suddenly came from behind the Third Hokage.

"Huh? Reply?"

When he heard this sound, the Third Hokage frowned, but his attention was suddenly drawn away from the fierce battle, and there was a question in his mouth.

At the same time, his brows were furrowed.

"yes."

In response to this, there seemed to be a slight hesitation in the shadow behind the Third Hokage, and then came this affirmative response.

Yeah……

Still can't have an interview...

No!

Should I say, you still don’t want to interview me?

This kid...

After hearing this sentence, the Third Hokage was silent for a moment, a sigh flashed across his face, and he was thinking sadly in his heart.

In fact, in the past ten years, the Third Hokage has not recalled Chiba. Although there was no direct recall blatantly, he mentioned it several times overtly or covertly. However, every time, he was rejected by Chiba using various means that seemed to be polite. .

Just like this time.

It was obvious that Chiba didn't want to meet him face to face.

And the reason why Chiba doesn't want to talk to him face to face is that Chiba's intelligence probably means that he already intends to hand over the position of Hokage to him.

Yes, this time the Third Hokage asked Chiba to interview him in order to hand over the position of Hokage to Chiba.

Chiba obviously knew that the Third Hokage wanted him to become the Fifth Hokage, so he deliberately dragged him away.

Or politely refuse.

This time, it's the same, otherwise, it should be Chiba lurking in the shadows now, not the ANBU ninja who is responsible for contacting him.

In fact, the Third Hokage should have thought that more than ten years ago, after the night when Chiba lost everything and Konoha lost the Fourth Hokage and many elites, Chiba took the initiative to pursue and contain Uchiha Nobuhiko. It's time to think of it.

Chiba's behavior was not only to eliminate this danger for the village, but also to use herself to contain Uchiha Nobuhiko and minimize Uchiha Nobuhiko's influence on the ninja world as much as possible.

Among them, he already included his rejection of the position of Hokage.

After all, the situation at that time was that the Fourth Hokage died in battle, the village suffered heavy losses, and he was already old. Although Chiba, who was only in his teens at the time, was a bit too young to be a Hokage, it was already the most critical time for the village. , even though he was only more than ten years old, he was still almost the only choice at that time.

There was no one in the village who had the prestige and qualifications to become the Hokage after the death of the Fourth Hokage.

Besides, he had already been trained as a Hokage candidate.

And with Chiba's mind, how could he not think of this.

Obviously, one of the reasons why he proposed the mission so quickly and only delivered news for more than ten years without showing up was that he didn't want to become Hokage.

At the same time, it is also the reason why Chiba is unwilling to show up now.

well……

Did I impose too many things on him?

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he did not blame Chiba for his behavior, but reflected on his own mistakes.

yes……

I have imposed too many things on him.

It's me, too anxious.

Chiba was just a teenager of seven or eight years old at the time. He should grow up slowly like other people of the same age, instead of shouldering the entire future of Konoha at a young age.

Now, he has lost everything again.

I should think more about his current mood.

With reflection, the Third Hokage slowly put down the pipe in his hand, and this thought had already passed through his mind.

"Give me the information."

And just as this thought was turning around, he said this.

"yes……"

In response, a slightly low voice came from the shadow behind the Third Hokage.

It seemed full of regret.

Then, a scroll was handed from the shadows to the hand that the Third Hokage stretched out calmly.

really……

The Third Hokage is about to abdicate in favor of others.

It's just that Master Chiba...

At the same time, after the scroll was handed out, the hearts of the ninjas in the shadow were filled with sighs of helplessness.

He has also been the intelligence bridge between Chiba and the village for some time, and he has been vaguely aware of it.

The old Hokage in front of him had actually become unable to hold on more than ten years ago and was about to abdicate.

It was because Konoha was in the midst of collapse at that time, and he had no choice but to step forward and rule again for more than ten years.

And such an old man who should have retired has persisted for more than ten years. It can be said that he has dedicated his whole life to Konoha and has long been exhausted. Especially in the past two years, it is obvious that time has had an impact on Konoha. The influence of an old man means it's time for him to have a good rest.

And in Konoha now, the only one who can assume the position of Hokage is Chiba-sama.

However, he also knew very well that it could be seen from the various messages sent back by Master Chiba during this period.

Master Chiba himself knows very well that he is not suitable to become Hokage now.

At least, not before Uchiha Nobuhiko was executed.

Of course, if Chiba-sama takes over as Hokage, even if he has been "dead" for more than ten years, as long as he stands under the sunshine of Konoha, there will be no objections from either the ninja group or the public group.

Most of the people who lived through that era are still alive, and no one doubts whether he can become Hokage.

Under Chiba's leadership, Konoha will definitely become stronger and stronger, and they no longer need to be as cautious as they are now.

There is no greater peace of mind than this.

However, he knew very well that they could not do this. They could no longer force this patron saint who had risked his life for the village and his companions since he was seven years old, but still lost everything in the end.

They are very grateful for everything Master Chiba has done. This child who has lived in everyone's disgust since childhood has already endured enough.

They just hope he can now get his wish.

But we can't force Chiba-sama to come back and take over Konoha and let the old man have a good rest.

This seems to be a dead end.

One is an old man who is almost exhausted for Konoha, and the other is a hero who has paid too much for Konoha.

Even they have no choice.

I can't even tell what is the right thing to do now.

Therefore, they could only remain silent at this time.

What we can do is to do what we should do now as well as possible.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

At this time, the Third Hokage who got the scroll said softly.

"No, this is what we should do."

In response, almost subconsciously, the contact ninja in the shadow spoke.

"No, thank you...huh?"

Hearing this, the Third Hokage shook his head and spoke softly. However, the words that were originally meant to express gratitude stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

At this moment, the Third Hokage's face also showed a look of surprise.

What does it mean?

At the same time, he ignored such a doubtful thought in his mind.

The Third Hokage, please postpone the interval between the preliminary round and the official third trial examination for at least one month.

I need time.

At this time, these two columns of words were reflected in his eyes.

The message scroll from Qianye that he opened in his hand contained only these two simple columns of words.

The information is simple.

That is to ask him to delay the time for the third official test after the current qualifying round.

This matter is not difficult to handle, because it has not yet been announced when the third test will begin.

A month's delay is not a problem.

However, this one-month delay is indeed very difficult in itself. First of all, from the standpoint of each ninja village, if the gap between the start time of the third exam and the current preliminaries is too long, it will easily cause other ninja villages to village suspicion.

Although I won't doubt that Konoha will do anything, I will have doubts and uneasiness about this Chunin Exam.

If it is not handled well, it will also have a certain impact on Konoha's prestige.

Secondly, from Konoha's point of view, this kind of international chuunin exam involves all aspects. For Konoha's various institutions, they are already operating at full capacity. Now the situation is becoming increasingly unclear, and undercurrents are surging. It's really not a wise move to move for too long.

Moreover, a half-effective written contract has just been signed with Caoyin Village. This matter itself is also the trigger of various incidents. The current situation must not be made public. This disclosure itself has considerable consequences. Strength must be used on the edge.

And now that the treatment standards for Kusagakure Village have been raised, this will attract the attention or alert of the entire ninja world. No matter how strong Konoha is, it cannot be airtight enough to deal with the intelligence network and intelligence system of the entire ninja world. , what I originally considered was that the Chuunin Examination was about to end, and it would only take a day or two at most.

If it were delayed for one month, I am afraid that more than 90% of the alliance between Konoha and Kusagakure would be discovered and exposed to the public.

It can be said that great risks will arise, both in terms of pressure and strategy.

However, Chiba should also want these.

He should have thought of this and planned to do this.

However, thinking of this, the Third Hokage did not directly deny it, but tried to figure out Chiba's thoughts.

He still knew quite a bit about this child.

With this kid's level of strategy, and Konoha has been passing on village-related information to him during this period, lest by any chance, when he comes back to take over the position of Hokage, he will fall into some kind of situation due to intelligence issues. political disadvantage. It is impossible for Chiba not to think of these disadvantages.

But now, knowing this and making such a decision, Qianye must have his reasons.

Um……

Speaking of which, there is a reason to delay it for a month.

For example, let all the candidates who passed the pre-selection return to their best condition.

After all, judging from the current situation, Haneda Kazuha has already been admitted to the hospital, and there is still some hope.

But, what does Chiba mean?

Delayed by one month...

Following his thoughts, the Third Hokage nodded silently. In fact, Chiba's demands were not too much. They were all well-reasoned, not too difficult or impossible, and could be accomplished in a short time.

One month can be said to be the time for everyone to return to their full strength during the final test. Moreover, a good rest is also an essential quality for a ninja. They can be guided to make them think that this one month's rest time will It is also a test.

The key is, why this month?

This exam, the final test, doesn't have to take such a long time at all. And based on what is currently known about the Third Hokage,

Why did Chiba specifically mention it?

Moreover, he needs time, what time does he need?

We need to postpone it for a month and then do something about the situation of the Chuunin Exam.

Or is it that it will take at least a month to take over Konoha and take over the position of Hokage?

If so, then, is it because of Uchiha Nobuhiko?

Can Uchiha Nobuhiko be eliminated in at least a month?

Or, in at least a month, Uchiha Nobuhiko will make some move, and he must take advantage of this time to contain and stop it?

There is really too much information in these simple two columns of characters.

Um……

In any case, since Qianye mentioned it, he still needs to cooperate with him.

Perhaps, Chiba has found some clues.

He had long said that he was going back to the village, but he hadn't shown up yet. It was probably because he had found out something about the Chuunin Exam.

Maybe, in these hours, he can get it done.

Moreover, if someone really wants to harm the village and takes advantage of this chuunin exam.

Then, delaying the date for one month can be considered a good idea.

As for the unfavorable forces that would harm the village during the Chuunin Exams, their plan is probably set within the time limit of the general Chunin Exams.

Now a sudden one-month extension is a big blow to their plans.

At least, it would allow them to reveal some flaws.

No matter how you think about it, it should be postponed for a month.

However, no matter how much information there was, the Third Hokage still made a decision quickly.

First, as before, he absolutely believed in Qianye.

Secondly, postponing this by one month is also very feasible, although it involves considerable risks.

However, compared to Chiba's idea, the risk of premature exposure of the alliance with Kusakure Village is not a difficult comparison at all.

Naturally, the idea is biased towards Chiba.

"Tell him to go down and follow Qianye's arrangements, and tell Qianye that next, he has the power to directly order any department in the village without going through me. He just needs to let me know his arrangements as soon as possible."

After the decision, the Third Hokage was extremely decisive and directly delegated all power to Chiba.

"yes!"

Regarding the Third Hokage's order, the contact ninja did not hesitate at all. After he responded, the shadow suddenly dimmed.

"Forget it, let me see, Chiba, how you can protect the village more than ten years later."

When he noticed the liaison ninja leaving behind him, a smile appeared on the corner of the Third Hokage's mouth.

A touch of ease and a smile.

"Are you there?"

Then, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he called in a deep voice.
