In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

But the Third Generation was full of confidence in his Will of Fire.

The bond between the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Konoha is the result.

Furthermore, with Konoha possessing the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, he was confident he could firmly control the One-Tailed Beast.

Even if things get out of control, we can simply seal it away and find a different Jinchūriki.

However, the fourth Kazekage is so ruthless that we must be wary.

"of course."

"Those two summoned beasts on the field are powerful, but they are still a bit weaker than the One-Tailed Beast."

"So I won't beat around the bush with you. What I really want is the Inuzuka family's research results that can evolve ordinary ninja beasts."

"If you can send over the research data now, I will offer you the One-Tailed Jinchuriki on the spot."

The Fourth Kazekage spoke slowly, his straw hat billowing in the wind, obscuring his expression.

The Third Hokage, sitting next to him, had a slight change in expression.

Research data? We have no research data whatsoever.

Akamaru's evolution is something even he is eager to understand.

The claim that the Inuzuka family has research achievements is just a lie to deceive the Kazekage.

I'm waiting until after the Chunin Exams are over, then I'll find some time to make up a story to mislead him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly used a cough to cover up his guilty conscience, while asking with a hint of doubt:

"Cough cough... So urgent?"

"Are you a fake Kazekage?"

"As far as I know, isn't the One-Tailed Jinchuriki your child? How can you be so willing to part with him?"

These words made Orochimaru's pupils shrink, and he almost gave himself away on the spot.

Fortunately, he was a veteran of many battles. As a disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Danzo's partner, he fought against the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, served as a commander in the Third Shinobi World War, stayed in the most dangerous Akatsuki organization, single-handedly established Otogakure, had countless secret bases, and was the most famous scientific research expert in the shinobi world. He could go through fire and water and had excellent mental fortitude.

He immediately realized that he had acted too hastily and was at risk of giving himself away.

After all, his own plan hadn't allowed the Third Hokage to survive the Chunin Exams. That's why he was so eager to obtain the other party's research data.

The plan he devised for the collapse of Konoha was to use this massive exam as a closing ceremony for the teachers.

This can be considered as repaying his kindness in nurturing me over the years.

However, his subordinates still need some time to prepare, and the summoning circle for Orochi is probably not yet fully ready.

Now is not the time to take immediate action.

Let's postpone it a little longer.

In the blink of an eye, after devising a plan of response.

Orochimaru's terrifying Kage-level aura suddenly rose, then solidified and remained dormant, preventing any disturbance from the surrounding guardian ninjas.

However, it made the Third Hokage clearly feel his dissatisfaction.

"The village's interests come first; what are a small sacrifice?"

"It is an honor for my son to be able to contribute to the village."

Orochimaru slowly turned his head to look at the arena. His robes fluttered without wind, and the temperature within a few meters of him seemed to drop several degrees.

To downplay the issue, no further explanation is needed.

This aura, as if he had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was enough to temporarily suppress the Third Hokage's suspicions.

The teacher is getting old after all, and he is becoming more and more hesitant and timid in his actions.

Decades ago, he was known as the "Hero of Endurance."

I would never dare to provoke him in this way.

really.

The aura of a Kage-level being was released immediately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately realized that this was a strong opponent who was no less than himself.

Regardless of whether it's the Fourth Kazekage or not, now is not the time to rashly turn against him.

At such a close distance, my old bones can't withstand the strain.

The Chunin Exams were still underway, with the Daimyo from various countries watching from the sidelines. As the Hokage, it was even less likely that he would be the first to leave his home turf.

He could only nod in agreement:

"I never expected Lord Kazekage to be so resolute. It seems that Sunagakure will grow even stronger under your leadership."

"Since the Kazekage is indeed willing to make an exchange, I will have the Inuzuka family bring the research data over as soon as the Chunin Exams are over."

Let's keep the Kazekage calm for now, and discuss everything after the Chunin Exams.

"Super Flame!"

"Demon Fox Flame!"

Before Fengying could reply.

The Greymon and Akamaru had unknowingly fought their way to the edge of the arena, and were even unleashing their signature moves.

The orange and dark blue flames exploded with a deafening roar near the Hokage's side of the field.

Half of the field was blown apart on the spot.

A massive heatwave swept towards the main seat, towards the Hokage and Kazekage.

"Water Escape: Water Formation Wall!"

Several members of the secret service appeared on the spot.

One after another, streams of water rose from the ground, blocking the aftermath of the explosion.

"Hey, you guys better watch out."

"These are all big shots."

One of the secret agents quickly shouted.

This power was too strong; it almost couldn't even withstand his water-style escape technique.

If we can't even stop the aftershocks of a Chunin's attack, we'll lose face in front of everyone.

He will definitely be kicked out of the Dark Division after the match.

"Pity."

Xia Mu shook his head inwardly when he saw that the attack he had deliberately directed in that direction had failed.

The defensive strength at the edge of the field is quite strong.

After all, many famous figures and feudal lords from various countries came.

Although these people are of high status, they are mostly ordinary people and do need the protection of ninjas.

Without these defensive forces, I wonder if my attack might have prompted Orochimaru to launch his plan ahead of time?

"Forget it, let's end the fight."

The next instant, Xia Mu soared into the air.

His right hand pointed towards Akamaru.

Reincarnation Eye.

"Tian Zheng!"

Suddenly, a tremendous repulsive force propelled Akamaru into the air.

"Tyrannomon, use (good job) to knock it out."

Xia Mu's voice had just fallen.

Kiba Inuzuka immediately surrendered:

"No, no, no!"

"We throw in the towel."

He was already very happy that Akamaru had successfully evolved and possessed such strong combat power.

However, he did not have any illusions about defeating Xia Mu with this.

The battle just now was merely a warm-up, allowing Akamaru to familiarize himself with his newly evolved fighting style; no attacks were made on his weaknesses.

His signature moves, Super Flame and Fox Flame, are both thrown towards the edge of the arena.

I'm very satisfied.

"The battle is over, the victor is Natsuki Yuhi!"

The examiner, Genji Shiranui, quickly announced the postponement of the results.

These two guys have blown up half of the arena; it would be best if the fight could end quickly.
