Chapter 708 Respective tasks(2/3)
Ibiki controls the giant lucky cat to sink, doing so can buy more time.
The accompanying Anbu nodded and rushed to the teaching building, informing the candidates and invigilators there to leave the ninja school as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, this place will become a fierce battlefield again. By then, the scale of the battle will probably expand again, and it will no longer be safe to stay here.
For a ninja of Genin level to participate in such a battle, there is nothing he can do but die.
"Huh, I finally settled down."
Seeing that Night Fire was sealed in the Lucky Cat, Temari, one of the proctors, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately, she turned to look at Shikamaru, the only acquaintance in Konoha, and asked in a bad tone:
"Hey, Shikamaru, what's going on? How could a psychic beast attack Konoha at this time... Moreover, your ANBU from Konoha must have arrived just in time. Didn't you already know that this place would be here?
Attacked?"
Originally, Temari planned to take action to fend off this menacing psychic beast and buy time for the candidates to escape.
But before they could take action, countless Konoha ninjas, as well as ANBU who were the troops directly under the Hokage, suddenly appeared and intercepted the troublesome psychic beasts in time, preventing the candidates from being harmed.
No matter how you look at it, this cannot be explained clearly by chance.
But Shikamaru just stared out the window at the lucky cat that sealed the night fire, frowning and saying nothing, as if
What are you thinking about?
"Shikamaru, please explain to me quickly."
Temari was not a patient woman. When she saw Shikamaru ignoring her words, an unknown anger arose in her heart. She pressed Shikamaru's shoulders hard with her palms and was about to force him to turn around and face her.
With a bang, Shikamaru, who was held down by her, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
Temari's eyes widened in shock, feeling incredible.
Shadow clone!?
As the invigilator of the first Chuunin exam, it would be a bit messy to let the shadow clone replace the main body.
In the classroom, equally chaotic were the candidates taking the exam.
After such a commotion, there is no way this exam can continue.
"What's going on? Guys from Konoha, please come out and explain!"
"Yes, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we ninjas of Kusugakure will not give up!
"It's the same with us in Poyin Village. We finally came here to take the exam, but something like this happened! You must give us an explanation!"
The noisy candidates were in a chaotic mess, and not many candidates were still sitting in their seats to compete.
Although some invigilators tried their best to comfort them, the results were extremely low.
"What's going on? That big black cat, I remember it's a psychic beast from the ninja cat clan. Why does it appear here?"
Naruto was even more confused.
He was no stranger to night fire.
He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ninja Cat Clan. He was once summoned by Sasuke and fought with Gamabunta summoned by him.
Later, when the Kingdom of Oni attacked Mount Myoboku, the opponent also appeared in Mount Myoboku and killed many clams in Mount Myoboku.
toad.
I can never mistake the other person's appearance.
It seems that there is something wrong with Konoha's security. From just now, I have felt a lot of chaotic chakra aura, especially in the northwest of the village, where the chakra is much more chaotic than in other places. And...
Minato's solemn voice sounded in Naruto's mind.
- And? And what, Dad?
I sensed the chakra of the child named Sasuke there. However, it didn't seem right. The breath of this chakra seemed a little different from before. Maybe I sensed it wrong...
Minato was also very confused. Generally speaking, the aura of chakra is difficult to fundamentally change.
The chakra he sensed was indeed very similar to Sasuke's chakra, but it was colder and colder than Sasuke's chakra before, and was full of disordered chaos and darkness.
So he was a little confused and not very sure whether the other party was Sasuke.
"What!?
Naruto's body stiffened suddenly, and his mind went blank, so that Minato's words behind him were completely ignored by him.
Without any explanation, Naruto pushed through the crowd, stepped on the window and jumped to the rooftop of the teaching building in front of everyone's astonished gaze.
Naruto jumped to the rooftop and looked northwest.
There was thick smoke billowing there, and although no sound could be heard here due to the distance, the abnormally rolling smoke screen clearly proved that a fierce battle was taking place there.
"Hey, Naruto, wait a minute, the ANBU just sent an order, and now you have to evacuate too."
A Konoha Chuunin proctor jumped up and wanted to stop Naruto and ask him to evacuate with the other candidates.
However, before he could finish his words, Naruto had already disappeared from the rooftop.
Hanoko and Sayi caught up, but they could only stare at the empty rooftop like the Chuunin proctor.
"Then, Lord Daimyo, I will take my leave now. Regarding the matters mentioned this time, we will visit again tomorrow for consultation."
In the castle tower of the Daimyo Palace of the Land of Fire, the diplomats from the Kingdom of Oni bowed slightly, respectfully led the rest of the mission, and left the castle tower that symbolized the authority of the Daimyo, leaving behind a gloomy look on their faces.
The uncertain name of the Land of Fire.
Leaving the castle tower along the stairs, the envoys from the Kingdom of Ghosts, led by a Daming Palace attendant, walked on a spacious corridor and went to the Daming Palace guest house to rest in the hope of visiting that place again tomorrow.
A great name from the Land of Fire.
Ichihime, who is among the diplomatic corps of the Kingdom of Demons, is the only ninja with a military background in the corps.
He also followed the people from the mission as they left the castle tower and headed towards the guest house.
However, as soon as they left the castle tower and arrived at the eaves of the corridor, several figures suddenly stood in the center of the corridor, blocking everyone's path.
"Jiraiya-sama, this..."
When the Daming Mansion waiter who was leading the delegation from the Kingdom of Ghosts saw the person blocking the way in the corridor, he immediately frowned in embarrassment and stepped forward to ask.
Although the Konoha ninja and the daimyo act on the principle of non-interference with each other, as the other party's Sannin, his opinions, even the daimyo, sometimes cannot be ignored.
If he wanted to attack the delegation from the Kingdom of Ghosts at this time, he, a waiter from the Daming Mansion of the Kingdom of Fire, would not be able to stop him.
But in that case, the Fire Country will inevitably have a diplomatic conflict with the Ghost Country, and it may even escalate into a military conflict.
"Don't worry, I just came to see Miss Chiba Kazuhime for something, and it won't affect the diplomacy between the two countries."
Jiraiya's eyes were not on the diplomats of the Kingdom of Demons, but on Ichiki, who was almost transparent but could not be ignored in the mission.
Beside him were two Konoha Jonin, Kai and Tenzo. Like Jiraiya, they were watching Ichiki's every move and did not dare to relax at all.
"Your Highness Ichihime."
The diplomat from the Kingdom of Ghosts frowned slightly, looked back at Ichiji, and asked her about her next arrangements.
Although in terms of duties, he does not need to obey the orders of Kazuki, a military personnel, but Kazuki, in addition to having this status in the military, is also the adopted daughter of Maitreya, the former miko of the Demon Kingdom. She once served as a princess.
In the name of his name, he went to Konoha to study.
Moreover, this princess's name is proof that it is effectively recorded in the archives.
Although the previous generation of miko Maitreya did not hold the corresponding ceremony, the fact that it was preserved in the archives was obviously a tacit approval of Kazuhime's name as a princess.
At this point, he could not ignore Yi Ji's existence.
On the surface, he was the leader of the visit to the Fire Country daimyo, but secretly all his actions had to be authorized and approved by Kazuhime, the princess of the Ghost Country.
"You guys go back first, I'll be there soon."
Yiji said calmly.
yes
The diplomat glanced at the faces of Jiraiya and others, and asked the waiter from the Daming Palace to lead the way, passing by Jiraiya and other Konoha ninjas.
As the delegation left, the space in the corridor suddenly became much wider.
Yi Ji turned her back and stared at the pond in the courtyard with her clear black eyes. It happened that a few leaves fell, causing ripples on the water, causing the reflection on the water to become messy.
At this time, she was not wearing a ninja outfit, but a kimono with a complicated style that was a mixture of black and white. Her skin was as white as jade, and her hair was as long as her waist, giving her a unique sense of splendor.
But the smile that appeared on his face from time to time made people feel unusually ominous.
"Please don't worry, everyone in Konoha. I'm visiting the Land of Fire this time as a princess, and I won't do anything extraordinary."
Before Jiraiya and the others could say anything, Ichiki was the first to speak and explained the purpose of his visit.
Compared to the person she was as a ninja, now that she is visiting the Land of Fire as a "princess", she is a bit more demure and gentle. She is completely different from the person she was on the battlefield.
If Jiraiya and others hadn't known her true identity, they would have thought she was just a harmless princess of a country.
But it's obviously impossible.
Even if the monster-like chakra in her body has been restrained, just being close to it will inevitably make even a slightly sensitive ninja feel uneasy.
To be continued...
