Chapter 22 The Strongest Chūnin Examination In History

The background music of the light curtain is melodious and graceful.

All the viewers were immersed in it, and their eyes couldn't help but get a little moist when they saw the scene of Zabuza and Haku supporting each other and walking away from each other.

After a short silence.

Ao said: "Zabuza, please stop thinking about it!"

Kurosuki Raiga: "Yes, Yagura is dead. It's not shameful to go back now. You kid, don't die to save face and suffer the consequences."

As one of the first Seven Ninja Swordsmen in Kirigakure.

The owner of Thunder Blade Fang.( Kiwa )

Kurosuki Raiga has a good relationship with Biwa Juzo, the First Generation's holder of the executioner blade. He is regarded as Zabuza's elder, and there is nothing wrong with calling Zabuza "boy".

Terumi Mei: "There are also Roger and Haku, you can bring them back with you."

Zabuza: "Forget it!"

Zabuza: "My speech has made it very clear. I won't go back on my words!"

Zabuza: "As for Roger and Haku, if they want to go back, I will never stop them."

Haku: "I swear to follow Zabuza-sama to the death!"

Roger: "Master Terumi Mei, thank you for your invitation, but you can also see that this guy is too worrying. If I don't stop him, I don't know what trouble he will cause."

Zabuza: "Get out!!"

Roger: "You should give me some face, after all, I am also the captain of the Roger Pirates, and I am your boss!"

Zabuza: "Who are you going to be boss of?! That's in the future. Now I'm your boss. I order you to shut your mouth!"

Roger: "Yes——"

Fourth Raikage: "Which of you is stopping whom? Why do I feel like you are causing more trouble?"

Rasa: " What the fourth Raikage said is true!"

Orochimaru: "Roger, what happened to that extraterrestrial sound? Do you still hear some inexplicable sounds from time to time?"

Roger: "Occasionally!"

Roger: "But ever since you warned me, Orochimaru-sama, I have never replied to her."

See here.

Everyone in the ninja world suddenly remembered.

Solving Yagura is just a trivial matter.

The mastermind behind it.

And that mysterious extraterrestrial sound.

There are also "gods" who are eyeing the ninja world and may launch an invasion at any time.

them...

There are still too many problems that have not been solved.

these questions.

It's like the sword of Damocles hanging above your head, making it difficult to sleep and eat, as if it's stuck in your throat.

["well..."]

[Looking at Zabuza's back as he completely disappeared at the end of the forest. ]

[Aokiji sighed, scratched his head and said: "The mission failed. Now I go back, I don't know how to explain it to Terumi Mei-sama."]

["fail?"]

[A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Kaido's face: "Didn't you let them go on purpose?"]

["Eh? How do you say this?"]

[ Aokiji narrows his eyes. ]

[Kaido looked at Aokiji with a sneer and said: "With your ability,if you want to take them both back by force."]

["It's so easy."]

["..."]

[Aokiji shook his head calmly and said solemnly: "Their hearts are not in Kirigakure. Even if they are taken back by force, it will be of no use."]

["Ah!"]

[Kaido snorted coldly and sneered: "pedantic!"]

[If it were him, he wouldn't care about anything and just kidnap the person back. ]

[Isn't the twisted melon sweet? ]

[Joke, can't I use it to quench my thirst? ! ]

["..."]

[ Aokiji smiled bitterly and shook his head. ]

[His and Kaido's ideas are very different, and the two sides couldn't talk together at all, so he couldn't help but help his forehead, and said goodbye: "Since you don't accept my invitation, I won't stay here any longer. Reason."]

["Everyone in Konoha, see you next time."]

["Um..."]

["Calculating the time, it doesn't seem to be long before the next time we meet."]

["What's the meaning?"]

[Naruto looked at Aokiji with confusion. ]

["Eh?"]

[Aokiji tilted his head, and looked at Naruto with the same doubt: "Konoha Chūnin joint selection exam, this Chūnin exam, we Kirigakure will also participate, don't you know?"]

["Konoha Chūnin Joint Selection Examination?"]

[Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke looked at Kaido in unison. ]

["Um!"]

[Kaido nodded and admitted frankly: "There is indeed such a thing. I originally wanted to tell you a few days later. Since this guy mentioned it, I will explain it to you by the way. The Chūnin exam is just Genin The examination for promotion to Chūnin is held twice a year."]

["The next exam is scheduled for July 1, which is one month later."]

["As usual."]

["Lord Hokage will send invitations to other countries in the ninja world, inviting them to send excellent Genin from the village who aspire to become Chūnin to Konoha to take the exam and compete on the same stage. "]

[At this point, Kaido paused for a second. ]

[Looks at Aokiji. ]

[After a moment of silence, he continued: "Under normal circumstances, except for the ally Sunagakure, the other three major ninja villages only invite konoha as a courtesy."]

["This is an invisible tacit understanding."]

["However."]

["This year is different from previous years."]

["In addition to Sunagakure from the Land of Wind, Kumogakure from the Land of Thunder, Kirigakure from the Land of Water, and Iwagakure from the Land of Earth unexpectedly accepted Lord Hokage's invitation and chose to participate in this Chūnin exam. "]

["Not only that, but strong small and medium-sized shinobi villages such as Amegakure and Otogakure Village will also come from afar to participate."] (oto=sound and Ame=rain)

["The number of candidates and the scale are huge. Looking at the entire history of Konoha, it is an unprecedented event."]

["in other words."]

["This year's Chūnin joint selection examination will be..."]

["The strongest Chūnin exam in history."]
