Chapter 808 Chunin Exams Begin
"He can't even protect himself? Are you talking about him becoming the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast?" Onoki asked, somewhat puzzled.
Clearly, Iwagakure has spies in Sunagakure as well.
Rasa has already gone berserk in Sunagakure many times, so it's impossible for other villages not to know what kind of state he's in.
"Hey, some people always think too highly of themselves, thinking they're amazing and that becoming a Jinchūriki will allow them to subdue the Tailed Beasts."
"But achieving the perfect Jinchūriki is not so easy."
"Regarding the sealing techniques of Sunagakure..."
Qianyao didn't say what came next, but his words were full of disdain for the Sand Village Sealing Technique.
Apart from the sealing techniques of the Fenfu lineage, which can reliably seal Shukaku.
Gaara relied purely on his natural talent to overcome the challenges.
Rasa thought he was also very talented and that becoming a Jinchūriki would definitely not be a problem.
Life is very difficult now that I've become a Jinchūriki.
Qianyao had no idea where Luo Sha had gone.
Qianyao went outside and saw that the Shadow Guards were still standing there.
They are the real Shadow Guard, and they know Qianyao's identity.
He wasn't surprised to see Qianyao come out.
Chiyo glanced back at the Iwagakure Jonin who was following Onoki.
"What's his name?"
Onoki nodded in slight confusion, "Giant Rock."
Qian Yao nodded slightly: "Have you learned the Lava Chakra Mode?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Onoki's eyes. He didn't know how Chiyo could tell that the other party was a Jinchūriki.
Because of the sealing technique on Giant Rock's body, his chakra is contained within, and normally you cannot see the chakra inside his body at all.
Seeing that Onoki was too surprised to speak, Chiyo teased him:
"He's a little worse than Lao Zi, but he's still pretty good."
When Onoki came to his senses, Chiyo had already disappeared with three Shadow Guards.
Juyan also looked surprised, as he had also heard Qianyao's words.
He couldn't understand how the other party could have recognized his identity without him even lifting a finger.
Onoki looked the giant rock up and down, wondering how Chiyo had figured it out.
This last sentence is clearly a warning to Onoki.
Onoki's face was somewhat gloomy. Konoha's strength had become so great, and now Chiyo was back.
Fortunately, Chiyo didn't want to directly overwhelm Sunagakure, at least giving him some time to prepare.
He saw Deidara smiling and felt a little annoyed.
"You knew Uchiha Chiyo was back all along, didn't you? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Deidara shrugged and said nonchalantly:
"Old man, calm down. There's no point in telling you now. Since you've already arranged to meet the Fourth Hokage, it doesn't matter whether you tell him or not."
Onoki asked in confusion, "You knew that Chiyo's return was only this recent one."
Deidara responded, "Yes, and it's precisely because Chiyo has returned that I feel forming an alliance with Konoha is the best option."
"After all, your old bones can't beat Qianyao."
"I won't tell you so you won't get confused."
Although Deidara spoke casually, he was stating an undeniable fact.
Ohnoki is almost eighty years old, and his health is naturally declining year by year.
Qianyao is only in his early twenties, which is the peak of his physical development.
Five years ago, Onoki couldn't beat Chiyo, and five years later, he still can't beat him.
Onoki was also somewhat disheartened upon hearing this, since Deidara was telling the truth.
He can only place his hopes on Deidara now.
Deidara has political acumen, ability, and potential.
However, Deidara's personality is somewhat undisciplined.
What Onoki needed was not advisors or capable soldiers, but a successor.
Deidara's mind is now completely occupied with art.
Even the improvement in skill is a byproduct of the improvement in art.
[We still need to build more bonds with Deidara.]
As Onoki thought this, his gaze swept across Kurotsuchi's face.
He had made up his mind.
……
Just as Minato was openly meeting with Iwagakure.
Konoha also began this year's Chunin Exams at the same time.
The current Chunin Exams still consist of two parts: a written exam and a practical exam.
Furthermore, because Konoha Village has excellent testing resources, the surrounding countries of Konoha...
The ninja from Rain Village, Waterfall Village, and Grass Village all came to Konoha to take the exam.
In such large-scale exams, there are always spies mixed in, hoping to gather more information about Konoha.
Especially after Konoha was attacked, and at the time when it declared war on Sunagakure.
During the Chunin Exams, many strong ninjas would bring their own villages or their students to take the exams.
Some of these master-disciple relationships are established through village ninja schools, while others are bought with money.
After all, not all ninja villages have ninja academies.
In some remote ninja villages, you've never even seen a headband before, so you can't tell if it's real or fake, which makes it easy to disguise.
Especially after Konoha built the national highway in the Land of Fire, there was even more traffic.
Konoha welcomes all comers, and even deliberately creates false information for these spies to take back.
It can also be considered a game of intelligence.
Konoha is now extremely advanced in both medicine and commerce, and people from all over the world flock to Konoha during the Chunin Exams.
The village also takes this time to promote some commercial activities.
It's similar to the sports meet held in the city in Qianyao's previous life.
The timing of this exam is somewhat unusual, and among the people taking the exam, there are some rather special individuals.
A female ninja with a tanned complexion and a headscarf was followed by a tall, thin male ninja with delicate features.
He strolled around the streets of Konoha with three younger ninjas.
Judging from their headbands, they are from the Grass Ninja Village. These two are the same Ryuze and Muku that Chiyo had seen when she first woke up.
"Alas, it's a pity. Lord Qianyao has been away for a long time, and I haven't been able to see him even when I come here every year."
Longshe put his hands behind his head and said with a hint of helplessness.
Wu Gou held Long She's hand and gently stroked his hair.
"Alright, Lord Chiyo will always come back. We'll come back every time we come during the Chunin Exams, and we'll always be able to wait for him."
Longshe shook his head, knocking Wugou's hand away, his face slightly flushed.
"Let's go check out the exam venue first. I wonder how Lishu and the others did on their exams."
"Yes, I'll come see Lord Qianyao again next time."
After Qianyao told them the truth about the Box of Bliss back then, Wugou was able to escape a calamity.
After Chiyo gained a foothold in the Uchiha clan, he began to do business with Wuwei.
As medical technology in Konoha made great strides, the demand for various medicinal herbs also increased rapidly.
Wuwei, a Jonin who specialized in providing medicine to the Uchiha clan, also brought a great deal of profit to the Grass Village.
They have always felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Uchiha Chiyo.
Although their Grass Village has never been very peaceful, they don't have much time to go out and wander around.
However, they would visit the Uchiha clan every year during the Konoha Chunin Exams.
Let's see if Qianyao is back yet.
It's a pity that they come every year, but each time they come up empty-handed.
After arranging for the children from the village to take the exam, they also went to the Uchiha clan.
But before Qianyao spoke, the clan could only tell Wugou and Longshe that Qianyao had not yet returned.
