Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

Time was like the plumpness of a young girl. If not grasped, it would pass by in a flash.

Three days later. ​​

Entrance of Konohagakure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore his Hokage hat and Hokage cloak. Behind him was a group of Konoha shinobis.

To his left, Danzō stood coldly with his arms around his chest. Next to Danzō was Jiraiya, who had just returned yesterday.

On the right, there were the two Hokage advisors.

This was the highest welcome specification Konohagakure could offer right now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed his pipe purposefully, thinking about the recent troubles.

Yesterday, Jiraiya carried the unconscious Hatake Kakashi back to the village.

He said that in order to save him, Might Guy was most likely killed in the line of duty.

Hatake Kakashi was in a coma because of the serious shortage of chakra in the process of helping him escape.

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed in him!

What Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy did, how could he not know?

He also knew that Jiraiya was saying this because he didn't want him to pester these two about leaving the village without permission.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect that ... Might Guy would stay behind.

Although they didn't see Might Guy's body, in that case, even if he was really a number one in the exam space's Shinobi World List, the probability of Might Guy's death was close to 100%.

In other words, a sure death sentence.

He knew the Eight Gates, so naturally, he knew the cost of opening the Eight Gates.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen only hoped that a few more Akatsuki members could be eliminated before Might Guy's death.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. Because of the live broadcast, the shinobi world had become a mess right now.

No matter where he was, all he could hear was discussions about the live broadcast.

In particular, the civilians living in Konoha these days were frantically submitting their applications to leave the village, saying that Konohagakure was too dangerous and they wanted to leave.

It was hard to persuade them over and over, just to stabilize them. But then, Jiraiya brought back information on Akatsuki.

Uzumaki Nagato had recovered and became even stronger!

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen thought this was sufficient anxiety, the Kages of the other four shinobi villages surprisingly wanted to visit Konoha together at this time.

By the way, there was also a neutral country. Mifune of the Land of Iron was also coming.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again in his heart. Of course, he knew what these people were doing here.

That was the only good thing that's come out of the recent period.

However, to his displeasure, the meeting was held in Konohagakure.

In the past, the five Kage talks wouldn't be held in one of the five major shinobi villages to ensure security and unnecessary trouble. They would choose a neutral country or shinobi village for talks.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, yellow sand suddenly swept in front of the crowd in front of Konoha. The sand dispersed, revealing several figures.

Rasa, Chiyo, Maki, Temari, and several other Suna shinobis.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was just about to say something when three figures covered with lightning came whistling by.

Arriving in front of Konoha, the Fourth Raikage Ay dissipated the chakra armor and dropped Killer B and Darui.

"Where is Konoha's Noble Green Beast, Might Guy?"

Ay's loud voice directly shouted out, making the faces of some people in Konohagakure who knew about what happened look ugly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and pressed down his anger. His voice was somewhat disappointed.

"2 days ago, Jōnin Might Guy was killed in the line of duty. What does the Fourth Raikage have to say?"

"Dead?"

Ay was stunned. Then, after sweeping his eyes at Jiraiya, whose face was incomparably ugly, as if he thought of something, he shrugged his shoulders.

He came here mainly to ask Konoha for information, and beating Might Guy was just an interlude.

Now that Might Guy was dead. How could he compete for titles with a dead man?

"Gentlemen, sorry I'm late."

While speaking, Mifune, from the Land of Iron, came running from a distance with a group of people.

Ay nodded his head, glanced sharply at the people brought by Mifune, and found that they were all senior samurais.

They waited for a while, and Terumī Mei walked up slowly with a group of people.

After waiting for a while, Ōnoki appeared.

At this point, the Kages of the five shinobi villages and Mifune of the Land of Iron gathered for the first time.

"Gentlemen, I came to Konoha this time; besides sharing information on Akatsuki, I want a spot for Iwagakure in Konoha's Chūnin exam."

Just as they sat down, Ōnoki directly spoke. He didn't bother to beat around the bush with these juniors, directly explaining his purpose in coming.

"Exam quota?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused. He didn't expect Iwagakure to come up with such an idea.

Originally, Konoha's Chūnin exam was to be held six months later. After all, Uzumaki Naruto's class of students wouldn't take the graduation test until two days later.

'His target is Naruto?'

Jiraiya immediately thought Ōnoki had such an idea. Speaking of Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya hadn't had time to see the child since he returned to the village.

"The original plan for Konoha's Chūnin exam didn't include Iwagakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the stem of his pipe slowly and methodically, then looked at the other three Kages, "Is that what you all have come for?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was delighted to see the three people thinking at the same time.

Just as he was about to feign refusal, he heard Ōnoki's sorrowful voice ring out.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, don't be too quick to refuse. If you were Akatsuki and knew that Konoha would stop you in the future, which village would you be attacking first?"

"You!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly showed an angry expression. When he was about to hit the table, he heard Ōnoki continue.

"Your Konoha is now the first shinobi village to be potentially attacked by Akatsuki, and even now, members of Akatsuki are already lurking in your Konohagakure."

"That's impossible!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to put on an angry face. What Ōnoki had thought of, he had naturally thought of long ago, and now he was merely retreating to advance.

With Jiraiya around, Konoha had the advantage of the information, and it was easy to set a trap for these guys.

As for Akatsuki's infiltration into Konohagakure, it was impossible! Now, Konoha's Root and Anbu were monitoring the entire Konohagakure, and any suspicious person would be checked out. Akatsuki couldn't hide inside here at all.

"Akatsuki aims to capture the Tailed Beasts, and we all have Jinchūriki in our villages, so we are all their targets."

"Akatsuki's strength is not something that one of our shinobi villages can fight against on its own, so we must unite."

"In our current situation, we certainly can't form an allied force. After all, we can't just rely on a live broadcast to trust each other. However, we can start an offensive and defensive alliance against Akatsuki."

"Share all the information on Akatsuki. When an Akatsuki member is found, or one of our shinobi villages is found to be an Akatsuki target, the other villages must send someone to help."

"I agree."

Ay's eyes flashed. This plan seemed to be fair to all five villages, but it was actually a kind of 'fishing in troubled waters' for Konoha.

He loved to take advantage of the situation!

Rasa glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said nothing. His Sunagakure was once defeated, which almost made them a vassal state to Konoha.

Suna originally had a quota in this Chūnin exam, and he was trying to destroy Konoha together with Orochimaru through this Chūnin exam. But he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"We are simply making an offensive and defensive alliance against Akatsuki."

Rasa's gaze fluctuated for a moment as if to emphasize and support the opinion.

'They took the bait!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled coldly in his heart. A feeling of intellectual superiority came over him.

Ōnoki was right; Akatsuki's first target would definitely be Konoha.

Therefore, bringing all the villages into the water together was Sarutobi Hiruzen's strategy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes fluctuated. The first goal was achieved. Now, it was time for the second goal!

"The battle has begun, and the children cannot be allowed to continue to rest on their laurels. I'm going to advance Konoha's Chūnin exam in 5 days. In addition, to show our sincerity this time, all Genins in your shinobi villages and students from ninja school who graduated this year can take part in the exam."

'!"

'!'

'!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words suddenly surprised the others, and then they were overjoyed and rushed to agree.

They had such a plan, but they didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen would propose it himself.

Immediately afterward, the five people regulated and elaborated on the above two points.

On the other hand, Mifune pestered Jiraiya, who was looking for Naruto and asked him about Sage Mode.

A day later, all of Konoha ninja school's current graduating class graduated early and were informed that they would be divided into separate classes and directly follow the other Genins to take the Chūnin exam in 4 days.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's big move immediately attracted the attention of those who cared. That night, a pure white snake climbed out of Konohagakure, arrived outside Konoha, and climbed into the hands of a "village girl".

After circling in the hands of the village girl, the snake spat out a note and then disappeared.

When she opened the note, she read:

'Orochimaru-sama, Konoha's Chūnin exam will start early in four days.'

'Rasa sent Maki to contact me, ready to continue pushing the Konoha's annihilation plan.'

'Suna will be responsible for creating chaos. At that time, you and he will jointly kill Sarutobi Hiruzen. After that, the other shinobi villages will not give up this opportunity to strike, and Konoha will definitely be seriously damaged.'

'In addition:'

'I was recently targeted and unable to pry into Uzumaki Naruto's whereabouts, surrounded by a team of Anbu and Rooters taking turns watching every day.'

'I suspect they think I am the Kabuto mentioned in the exam space.'
