Chapter 318 Exactly 1
After the annular solar eclipse ended, Chiyo did not receive Hiruko's declaration of war against the ninja world.
At least until the next annular solar eclipse, the clan's elites will no longer be targeted.
However, the third generation should be taking action soon.
Qianyao then left all the other clansmen in the clan.
Meanwhile, Zenku had already arrived in Konoha with Shizhou and the others.
Just as Chiyo was waiting for the Third Hokage to make his move.
A person quietly arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.
meeting room.
"Sit down," Qian Yao said casually, pointing to the seat next to him.
Standing next to him was Hyuga Souta.
Cang Tai did not sit down; he had come here to tell Qian Yao something important:
"Elder Qianyao, recently there have been many ANBU members appearing near Naruto's house."
"We are monitoring Naruto's clansmen, and many Anbu members have also appeared in the vicinity."
Qian Yao's lips curled into a smile. Sarutobi Hiruzen had finally lost his temper.
"I see. Thank you for coming all this way, Sōta."
“However, fledglings always need to grow up, so you don’t need to be too controlling,” Qian Yao said meaningfully.
Sota's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing the meaningful look in Qian Yao's eyes?
Could it be...?
Qianyao changed the subject:
"I plan to start the Chunin Exams soon so that the elite students can also broaden their horizons."
"When Naruto and the others take the exam, you Hyuga clan members can also take a break."
Want to take a break?
Cang Tai looked at Qian Yao with a strange expression.
Qian Yao smiled slightly: "Yes, I said so."
Konoha holds the Chunin Exams every year, usually twice a year. However, this may be changed if there is a war, and the decision is made by the Hokage.
Once the authority over the education system was separated from the Hokage, it was up to Chiyo to make the decisions.
Qianyao felt that choosing twice a year was a complete waste of time and energy, so he decided to just choose once a year.
In the past two years, Chiyo held two Chunin Exams.
It usually consists of a written test plus a dark forest elimination practice.
The decision on when to make it this year is up to Qianyao.
Sota's mind raced with thoughts, then he looked completely at ease:
"Don't worry, Elder Qianyao, I know what to do."
Chiyo reached out and patted Sota on the shoulder: "The Uchiha and Hyuga have always been as close as family."
"Yes, Elder Qianyao, I'll take my leave now."
Sōta quickly took his leave.
After several years of courtship, he gained Qianyao's trust to a certain extent.
The appearance of the branch family elders was clearly intended to be cannon fodder by the Hyuga main family from the start, so Sota's life is definitely not going to be easy.
The reason for befriending the Uchiha clan in advance is self-evident.
However, since Chiyo hasn't yet obtained the Hokage position, it's not appropriate for him to interfere in the affairs of the Hyuga clan.
We still need to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi first.
Qianyao sneered: "Let's see if you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will take this bait or not."
……
The Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage held the official letter delivered by Uchiha Chiyo in his hand and examined it.
The letter was simple: Chiyo had decided to hold the annual Chunin Exams.
The exam is the same as last year, consisting of a written test and a practical exam.
The Death Forest is needed in actual combat.
The purpose of this official letter is merely to inform him, not to solicit his consent.
Graduating from school means becoming a genin. Whether a genin can participate in the exam to become a chunin depends on whether the instructor in charge can recommend them.
The current team leaders are all from the Uchiha clan, so this authority naturally belongs to Chiyo.
However, many of the teachers who led the students who graduated in previous years were not from the Uchiha clan.
But just as Chiyo had predicted, the Third Hokage was not about to let go of such a good opportunity to make a move.
However, the Third Hokage is now prepared to go all out, as Chiyo has been frequently contacting various ninja clans.
It will be too late if we don't act now.
The Third Hokage now needs to have enough trump cards to protect his people.
A figure climbed through the window next to the Third Hokage, who was deep in thought.
However, it was Jiraiya who remained in Konoha Village.
"Old man, how is it?"
Although he didn't want to stay in Konoha, Jiraiya knew in his heart that at this time, the Third Hokage didn't have many people he could rely on.
He still didn't want Konoha and the Uchiha to actually fight.
The Third Hokage said anxiously:
“Uchiha Chiyo’s disguise over the past two years has been very successful. Tsunade no longer wants to compete with him for the Hokage position.”
"Judging from his recent actions of contacting various major families, he should be making a move soon."
"It doesn't matter if I abdicate, but Qianyao might not let me off the hook."
"If my Sarutobi clan is forced to resist, our Konoha will be thrown into chaos and will be severely weakened."
"If Konoha is lost, I will have failed my teacher and the First Hokage."
Jiraiya himself was the greatest protector of Konoha Village, after the Third Hokage said that.
He also said in a deep voice:
"I'll try to persuade Tsunade, old man. You should stick to the plan and replace the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with one of ours."
"At that time, even if Uchiha Chiyo wanted to take action, he would be hesitant to act."
The Third Hokage patted Jiraiya on the shoulder:
"If this operation fails, I will take full responsibility."
"Do not harbor resentment towards the Uchiha clan, and even more so, do not seek revenge against them."
"Because this will only make Konoha more dangerous."
Seeing the Third Hokage so pessimistic, Jiraiya couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:
"Old man, don't worry, I'm here, I'll make sure you're alright."
The Third Hokage laughed heartily: "I'm already this old, what is there to be upset about?"
"The future of Konoha depends on you."
……
Border of the Land of Fire.
Huang Quan waited patiently, having already told Bai Jue about the restoration of the demon's power.
Until Obito and Zetsu both appeared.
Has the demon recovered?
Obito asked the question as soon as he arrived.
The demon is very strong, but it had been in a weakened state before.
Huang Quan's expression shifted, and he spoke in a deep male voice.
"Indeed, I have recovered."
"All I need to do now is regain my physical body, and I will be fully recovered."
Obito asked in confusion, "Wasn't your physical body sealed away by the priestess?"
"Where can we find a priestess now?"
The demon said confidently, "Don't worry about that. I've already sensed that the priestess is in Konoha."
"The priestess is not very old now. All I need to do is capture her, unseal my body, and then devour her immediately."
Obito looked somewhat surprised and doubtful. The priestess was also in Konoha? When did she go there?
Could it be that the descendants of the priestess from the Land of Demons from more than two years ago were brought to Konoha?
But that's perfect, since Hiruko was already planning to cause trouble for Konoha.
Obito thought for a moment and said:
“There are other people in our organization who are also going to Konoha, so you can go together.”
