Chapter 702 preparation

"So, the kingdom of Na, which appears to be independent on the surface, is also under the control of the military?"

The moment Sasuke saw Chino, Sasuke figured out many things that he hadn't figured out in the past.

Immediately, he realized the problem of who the Lei Guang Group belonged to.

But even so, Sasuke was still surprised.

As the leading bounty hunter team in the underground black market, Lei Guang Tuan, like Xuan Yuan Zhong, is well-known. Because of the particularity of their occupations, they have contacts with celebrities from all over the world.

To put it bluntly, these so-called celebrities from various countries are all Lei Guangtuan's trading partners.

Being able to stand tall among so many celebrities and be trusted, it is conceivable that the efficiency of the Lei Guang Group is definitely not inferior to the elite ninja troops of the Great Ninja Village.

Proud of this, the Lei Guang Group must go deep into the underground black market, and through the black market platform, obtain top-secret information from various countries that has never been circulated on the outside... And these information will eventually flow into the hands of the high-level military of the Kingdom of Ghosts, becoming the cornerstone of their layout.

Moreover, the characteristics of the Lei Guang Group's bounty hunters can also be used to secretly cut off the underground rats that threaten the military.

"That's right. Since a few years ago, our Lightning Squad has been designated to carry out activities in the area around the land of waves. It's amazing to be able to react in such a short period of time, little Sasuke."

Chino patted her barren and thin chest. She obviously had the body of an underage girl, but in the end she had to imitate the way adults speak in order to maintain her majesty.

Thinking about it, this is really a poor topic.

And Sasuke frowned when he heard such words.

He knew that Chino's actual age was much older than her appearance.

When he was still studying at the Konoha Ninja School, Chino might have started to operate in the underground black market in accordance with the orders of the Oni Land military.

Even so, I still feel awkward being called 'Little Sasuke' by Chino who looks like a child.

Fortunately, this awkward mood didn't last long, and Sasuke dismissed it from his mind.

"Then, was it your Leiguang Group who brought me back from the Kingdom of Forest that day?"

Sasuke doesn't remember what happened afterwards.

After fighting Itachi, he collapsed on the ground exhausted and lost consciousness.

What happened there later, he didn't understand.

"Of course not, our Lei Guang Group has no leisure, so we went for a walk in the Kingdom of Forest, and there is a huge Kingdom of Fire in the middle."

Chino shook her head, denying this statement.

Although both the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Forest are adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire, they are located in the north and south, separated by a huge Fire Kingdom. Even though the Lei Guang Group possessed impressive military strength, they did not dare to cross the Land of Fire without official documents.

Konoha's patrol force is not vegetarian.

What's more, there is no Lei Guang group that belongs to any force on the surface, and it is impossible to get such things as official documents.

Lei Guang Group is an official ninja group that is not recognized by any country or ninja village. Just a mercenary army.

After all, they are different from those ninja villages who eat the food of the state.

"The person who brought you here should be a fellow of yours, who has Sharingan, but because he is wearing a mask, I don't know who he is. I haven't seen that person before when I went to the ghost country to report on my work."

Chino explained.

"Same family? Sharingan?"

Sasuke frowned.

"He said that he followed you all the way to ensure your safety after you defeat Uchiha Itachi."

Chino blinked curiously, staring straight at Sasuke, a pair of bright lavender eyes filled with curiosity.

Followed me all the way? Sasuke's heart sank when he heard this.

That is to say, the other party has been following him secretly since he left the kingdom of ghosts.

But he didn't notice the fact that he was followed all the way.

Among the Uchiha clan in the land of ghosts, is there such a ninja with good tracking ability? Even he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Well, after he threw you here, he let our Lei Guang Group take care of you, and then left directly, letting you rest here for a while."

Chino nodded without hiding anything.

As she spoke, she walked up to Sasuke, stood on tiptoe, and stared at Sasuke's face without blinking.

"What's wrong?"

Sasuke saw Chino approaching him, and couldn't help but backed away.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just curious. You were able to defeat that Uchiha Itachi. It was beyond my expectations. I heard that he has a kaleidoscope sharingan that is more advanced than sharingan, and his strength is extraordinary."

Chino tilted her head, she couldn't see that Sasuke was so strong.

Although he is unwilling to admit it, if the defeat of Uchiha Itachi is true, it means that Sasuke's single-person strength has surpassed the Thunder Lightning Group she leads.

"snort."

Sasuke snorted lightly, and didn't explain, but his attitude proved everything.

Defeating Uchiha Itachi was indeed his own doing, without any fraud.

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to disbelieve, I'm just surprised. So, in the future, do you want to work with our Leiguang regiment? The core personnel of our Leiguang regiment have benefits that most people in the military envy, and their tasks are relatively leisurely, and they have a lot of time to do what they like. Little Sasuke, do you want to think about it?"

Chino warmly extended an invitation to Sasuke, and laughed.

If Sasuke can be absorbed into the Thunder Light Group, then the strength of the Lightning Light Group can directly surpass that of Xuan Yuanzhong. If they work harder, they might be able to compare with elite troops like the Thorn Group.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later, I will think about it."

Sasuke didn't agree, but said perfunctorily.

"Then, we have made a deal. Although we are temporarily inferior to the Thorn Group, those people are only relying on the sharpness of their equipment and their real strength. Except for the leader, they are not much stronger than our Thunder Group."

Chino didn't seem to understand the meaning, and thought that Sasuke had become interested in Lei Guangtuan's joining.

Sasuke continued to listen perfunctorily, just nodded, and didn't speak.

Walking out of the wooden house, the sea breeze blowing is comfortable and pleasant.

This should be a small stronghold, located at the corner of the forest, with traces of human activities.

Around the wooden house, you can still see some other buildings, such as warehouses, but they are far away.

There are many staff here, but they are dressed casually. They should be the peripheral logistics staff of the Lei Guang Regiment.

There are not a few main members of the Leiguang Regiment, and it is reasonable to have a supportive logistics force behind them.

"This is a stronghold of the Lei Guang Group in the Kingdom of Waves. No outsiders will come in. You can recuperate here with peace of mind."

Chino walked to Sasuke's side and said.

"I see."

"If there is nothing else, then I will leave first. I still have some things to deal with here."

Chino nodded, ready to leave.

"By the way, I want to trouble you with one thing."

Sasuke stopped Chino who was about to leave.

"What's up?"

Chino hesitated.

Although the Lei Guang Group is very idle most of the time when they have no missions.

But also because of this, their tasks are irregular and need to be on call at any time.

If it was too troublesome, it would cause the Lei Guang Group to disperse a lot of power, so Qian Nao could only reluctantly refuse.

Handsome guys are important, but tasks are equally important.

Seemingly seeing Chino's hesitation, Sasuke said, "Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you Lei Guangtuan. I want to know the latest movements in Konoha Village. The Land of Waves and the Land of Fire are facing each other across the sea. This should not be difficult for you."

"Konoha? So this is the matter. I will send the information over later."

Chino breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was information from other villages, she might not be able to get it, but the information from Muye Village was much easier.

No one knows Konoha better than Oni no Kuni.

To put it bluntly, they even know Konoha better than their Konoha ninjas.

Sasuke's request was nothing more than a simple effort to Lei Guangtuan.

She doesn't know what Sasuke wants Konoha's information to do, and she has no interest in knowing, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and she won't get to the bottom of it.

Lei Guangtuan's work efficiency is faster than expected.

Qianna had just left for less than ten minutes when a peripheral member of the Lei Guang Group brought over a stack of documents and scrolls.

In these materials, all information belonging to Konoha is recorded.

This made Sasuke wonder whether Chino had prepared Konoha's information long ago, just waiting for him to ask for it.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to collect so much information about Konoha in such a short period of time?

Sasuke didn't think about it anymore, the most important thing now is to confirm Konoha's recent movements.

The entanglement with Itachi wasted a lot of his time.

And since he left Orochimaru's place, he has a little knowledge of Konoha's recent situation, and he didn't deliberately collect it.

Itachi is dead now, but the former Konoha executives who once led to the demise of the Konoha Uchiha clan, in addition to the third Hokage who committed suicide, there are three still alive.

Consultant transferred to Koharu, Mito Menyan.

Root leader Shimura Danzo.

These three people were all prominent figures during the reign of Konoha III Hokage.

It can be said that before Konoha's internal split situation did not form, all decisions made by Konoha at that time were jointly made by the four of them.

Including... dealing with the Uchiha clan, and acting around the will of the four of them.

Obtained Itachi's memory, Sasuke learned the whole story of the Konoha Uchiha clan's extermination.

Decades ago, Uchiha Madara, the leader of the Uchiha clan at that time, left Konoha, and then attacked Konoha with Kyuubi. Although he was finally stopped by the first Hokage, it also made the latecomers wary of the Uchiha clan.

Among them, led by the Second Hokage Senju Tomona, adopted a series of policies targeting and monitoring the Uchiha clan.

Even the birth of the guard team was so tortuous. It was not done because of the belief in the abilities of the Uchiha clan, but to prevent the birth of the next Uchiha Madara.

And twenty-one years ago, on the eve of the third Ninja World War, the collective betrayal led by Chiba Shiraishi completely detonated.

It made the relationship between Konoha's senior management and the Uchiha clan even worse.

His father Uchiha Fugaku took over the power of the elder Uchiha Sifang, became the new leader of the Uchiha clan, and began to ease the relationship with the high-level.

For this reason, during the Third Ninja World War, in order to ensure the victory of Konoha, the Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties.

Finally, the Nine-Tails incident and the emergence of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan finally detonated the fragile trust relationship between the high-level and Uchiha.

Led by the roots led by Shimura Danzo, a series of actions were made to suppress and target the Uchiha clan.

After realizing this, the radicals within the Uchiha began to resist fiercely, and secretly united like-minded people in the clan to plan a coup d'etat.

The successful example of the coup d'tat of the fourth generation of Kirigakure, Mizukage Goju Yakura, also gave the radicals unlimited hope and beautiful reverie.

But it's a pity... all the glory and dignity of the family were burnt to pieces that night.

While recalling these past events, while scanning through the intelligence documents sent by Chino, Sasuke's mood is very complicated.

The reason for Uchiha's extermination is more complicated than he expected.

Sasuke forced himself to calm down and focus on the intelligence document in front of him.

After the failure of Orochimaru, Konoha temporarily died down, busy with this year's Chunin exam.

Same as four years ago, this is a joint Chunin exam.

Co-hosted by villages in several big countries.

Although Konoha's reputation has declined a little now, she still has a huge appeal in the ninja world.

As the main examination room of this year's Chunin Exam, Konoha will definitely make good use of this opportunity to enhance his reputation.

The difference is that this year's joint Zhongnin exam, the kingdom of ghosts did not intervene, nor did it send a ninja to participate.

Although Konoha also sent an invitation to the Oni Nation, the Oni Nation unilaterally refused to participate. The reason is unknown.

Seeing this, Sasuke originally planned to sneak into Konoha after recovering from his injuries, and get rid of Konoha's upper management.

But with the holding of the Chunin Exam, Sasuke felt that this was an opportunity.

For the safety of the ninjas in each village, if Konoha is attacked at this time, even if Konoha is unwilling, he must devote a considerable amount of energy to protecting these ninjas from various countries to ensure their safety.

After all, if any accident happens to these people, Konoha will be blamed.

At that time, don't say that you will take this opportunity to improve your reputation. It will be a blessing if you can not be condemned by other countries afterwards.

Sasuke simulated various assassination plans in his mind, and felt that this year's Chunin exam was a good time.

"July 10th..."

This date is the time for the first exam of the Joint Chunin Exam.

At that time, candidates from all over the world will gather in the examination room to conduct the written test.

However, Sasuke also saw a message.

July 10th, in addition to being the first exam time of the Joint Chunin Exam, on that day, villages such as Sand Yin and Yan Yin will send envoys to meet at the Hokage Building in a low-key manner.

In order to get back the stolen tail beast, they plan to use the Zhongnin exam to complete this secret alliance.

That is to say, not only the candidates, but also the members of the alliance may be able to take advantage of it.

Sasuke put away the information and let out a sigh of relief.

Determine the action process, and the next step is to wait for that day to come.

Konoha's high-ranking members must wash their necks well.

Following a deafening roar, countless air blades spread and cut in a spiral manner, smashing the entire land and forest into pieces.

The entire training ground was shrouded in dazzling white light, making it impossible to open your eyes.

After the movement subsided, a huge hemispherical pothole appeared on the ground. On the section of the potholes, there were countless scratches left by raging beasts, and there remained a brutal and sharp aura that lingered.

Just getting close to the edge of a pothole makes people feel skin tingling.

"Great, it finally worked!"

Naruto, who was about ten meters away from the edge of the pothole, almost jumped up with excitement.

Looking at the movement caused by his ninjutsu, even he couldn't keep calm at this moment.

After working so hard for so long, I finally completed this new technique.

Although the process was very tortuous, he also got a killer trick in his hand.

With this trick, his strength has taken a qualitative leap.

Learn the art of immortality, making him invincible among his peers.

However, he lacks effective means of attack, so he can only deal with ninjas of the same level, and cannot decide the outcome with a final decision.

However, now with this new technique, everything is different.

This trick will definitely surprise people.

Congratulations, Naruto, you have finally completed this trick.

The congratulatory voice of Minato also sounded.

This is also thanks to your assistance, Dad, otherwise I would not have completed this new technique so quickly. However, in the spiral pill, it is really difficult to integrate fairy art and wind attribute chakra.

Naruto rubbed his sore shoulders.

Based on his Chakra amount, using this new technique at this time also feels a huge consumption.

Besides, this technique consumes too much chakra. I feel that after firing a dozen or so, the chakra may bottom out.

Hearing Naruto complaining so much, Minato suddenly didn't feel like talking.

He knew that Naruto didn't mean anything malicious when he said this, it was just a natural complaint.

But because of this, he felt that Naruto's Chakra was much more terrifying than ordinary ninjas.

Don't say ten. For ordinary ninjas, firing just one shot may drain the chakra of the whole body. Using the second shot, they will definitely die due to exhaustion of chakra.

So, Naruto, have you decided on a name for this new technique? If you don't mind, let me, Dad, give you a famous name.

Uh, that's unnecessary, I decided to call this new technique 'Wind Escape Spiral Shuriken'. Because the way it rotates is very similar to the rotation of a shuriken.

Maybe thinking of something, Naruto shuddered, and directly decided on the name of the new technique, not giving Minato a chance to insert it.

After these years of getting along, he also understood what kind of person his father Minato is.

Although he is excellent in all aspects, whether it is ability or brains, he can be called the best ninja Naruto has ever seen, but in terms of naming, it is quite regrettable and sad.

If he asked the other party to name his new technique, he felt ashamed that he would explode just by shouting it out.

"Okay, now I'm going to report to Granny Tsunade on the progress of the new book."

Naruto felt great respect for Tsunade who spared no effort to support his actions.

He knew that many adults in the village had bad intentions towards him, but more people would keep kindness towards him.

Okay, if you tell him earlier, it will also make Tsunade-sama feel at ease.

Minato also respects Tsunade very much.

At this time, taking over Konoha's mess, but still achieving this level, and gaining enough time and space for Naruto's growth, one can imagine the energy put into it.

If the opponent hadn't chosen to leave Konoha, the fourth Hokage would not have fallen on him.

Maybe, Konoha will go to a different future.

By the way, now that the new technique is completed, the training to control the Nine-Tails can begin later.

Finally, Minato added this sentence.

Only in this way can one obtain a portion of self-protection power in this increasingly dangerous ninja world.

Otherwise, there is still a big gap compared with those real top ninjas just by completing the new technique.

And this gap can only be smoothed out with the Nine Tails, or even... surpassed!

Hokage Office.

When Naruto came here, he found that there was not only Tsunade alone, but another person in the office.

"Shikamaru?"

The person who appeared in the office was Shikamaru.

He was holding a document in his hand, and was dictating a report facing it.

Hearing the movement behind him, Shikamaru said with a smile: "It's you, Naruto, what a coincidence, Hokage-sama and I happened to be talking about you."

"my business?"

Naruto patrolled back and forth between Shikamaru and Tsunade, suddenly surprised.

"Yeah, you shouldn't forget that the Chunin exam will be held in a few days."

Shikamaru said directly.

"Uh..." Naruto suddenly remembered, as if it really happened, his face was covered with sweat, he wiped it with his sleeve, and smiled reluctantly: "D-Of course I didn't forget, haha, how could I forget such an important thing."

Actually, I have almost forgotten it.

Seeing Naruto's insincere gesture, Shikamaru and Tsunade were a little speechless, obviously the other party just forgot about it.

"Okay, you are also participating this year. Sai and Honoko will also accompany you to participate."

Shikamaru sighed.

"Sai, Hinoko? But aren't they all Chunin?"

Naruto had question marks all over his face.

Hinoko is Anbu's candidate, and Sai is Genbu, both have their own secret promotion channels.

Among the seventh class, only he is not a chunin, but the lowest ninja.

"Who do you think is at fault? Don't worry, the two of them are just escorts. If you want to use them to improve your score, then you are totally wrong. Their final score will be calculated based on the average. If you want to become a Chunin, then your final score in the three exams must exceed the average of the two of them."

Shikamaru said these words.

Actually, the biggest difficulty for Naruto is not the second group battle, but the third individual battle.

It is the first round of written examination.

As long as you pass the first round of the written test and get a score above the average, then Naruto is basically guaranteed to become a Chunin.

"I see, I see. I will fight with all my strength."

Naruto nodded solemnly.

"No, you can go all out for the first exam, but you don't need to go all out for the second and third exams."

Shikamaru was afraid that Naruto would accidentally beat all the candidates to death in the next two exams.

The assessment of Naruto this time will only focus on the first test.

The second and third games are just a cutscene.

"Then, I will take my leave first, Hokage-sama, I have other things to deal with."

Shikamaru said goodbye to Tsunade.

"Well, let's go."

Tsunade nodded, indicating that the other party can leave.

Having received permission, Shikamaru turned and left.

Maybe the observation angle was wrong, Naruto suddenly felt that after Shikamaru turned around, the expression of slightly lowering his head showed a dark color that he didn't usually have.
