As the time of the joint Chunin Exam approaches, ninjas from various ninja villages participating in the exam arrive one after another.
Many tourists also come here to watch the joint Chunin Exam.
Konoha, which was already quite prosperous, becomes even more lively.
Under this bustle, the people in Konoha become mixed.
In addition, the relationship between some ninja villages is bad, and conflicts may break out if they disagree.
The pressure on the Security Department has doubled, and even Uchiha Fugaku has to take some time to patrol the streets.
A team of more than 30 people entered Konoha after registering at the entrance and exit of Konoha.
"Which ninja village is that?"
"Guardian, it's from the Hidden Rock Village."
Their arrival quickly attracted the attention of villagers and tourists.
Many people looked at them curiously and whispered.
"Let's go to the Hokage Building to register. You can each walk around the village and meet up at the hotel arranged by Konoha later!"
The leading jonin ordered, and the team of more than 30 people dispersed, and a few people who had a good relationship walked around the village together.
The Iwagakure Village is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is relatively isolated.
There are fewer merchants and tourists coming and going, and it is far less prosperous than Konoha.
Seeing such a prosperous Konoha, the Iwagakure Genin who came to participate in the Chunin Exam were all very excited.
"Iwagakure Village!"
On a rooftop, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the Iwagakure team who came.
After the Third Ninja World War, the relationship between the Sand Village and Konoha became close, at least on the surface.
The three ninja villages of Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure are quite distant from Konoha and almost never participate in the joint Chunin Exams held by Konoha.
He was a little surprised that the Iwagakure Village would come to participate in the Chunin Exam this time.
"There are ninjas fighting over there!"
Suddenly a noisy voice sounded, and he looked away from the Iwagakure Village and looked in the direction of the commotion.
With a flash, he disappeared from the rooftop and rushed in that direction.
Ding, ding, ding!
On a street, two teenagers were fighting.
As their figures flashed, kunai kept colliding.
The forehead protectors on the two had the symbol of Sunagakure and the symbol of Amegakure respectively.
In a few breaths, Uchiha Fugaku arrived.
Seeing the two fighting parties, he frowned.
The three Ninja World Wars had formed an almost irreconcilable hatred between the ninja villages.
Because of the joint Chunin Exam, the ninjas of these villages gathered in Konoha.
It would be strange if there were no conflicts when so many forces with mutual hatred were gathered together.
He didn't like that the joint Chunin Exam was being held here in Konoha.
He couldn't let the two continue to fight, so he was ready to stop them.
However, at this time—
"No fighting in Konoha!"
A girl's voice rang out.
This was a girl with long black hair tied behind her back and a teardrop mole beneath her right eye.
She wore clothes with the Uchiha clan emblem—she was a member of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku recognized her instantly. This girl was Uchiha Izumi, who had some ties to Uchiha Itachi.
Swish—
While speaking, Uchiha Izumi's eyes revealed two tomoe each, and she rushed between the two fighting boys.
Snap, snap!
Her two hands grabbed the wrists of the boys holding kunai, interrupting their fight.
"No fighting is allowed in Konoha!"
Uchiha Izumi's blood-red eyes with two tomoe swept over the boys as she spoke coldly.
The boys couldn't help but feel uneasy as her blood-red eyes passed over them.
They understood that this girl's strength was much greater than theirs.
And those blood-red eyes exerted immense pressure on them.
Seeing that both were stunned, Uchiha Izumi let go and turned away, but her presence drew considerable attention.
"This girl is so strong, is she also participating in the Chunin Exam?"
"What's with her eyes? Why are they blood-red?"
"That's the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. She's definitely from the Uchiha clan!"
"The Uchiha clan is the top family in Konoha. Now there are two Kage-level Uchiha?"
"Yeah, that Uchiha clan!"
...
The surrounding villagers and tourists couldn't help but look at Uchiha Izumi as she walked away, and their voices were full of admiration.
Some admired Uchiha Izumi, and others admired the current Uchiha clan.
The news of Uchiha Shisui's death was still suppressed by the Third Hokage.
So far, not many people knew that Uchiha Shisui had died.
"At the age of twelve, she can awaken two tomoe. Maybe she has the potential to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Izumi leaving with some surprise.
Awakening two tomoe at the age of twelve was extremely rare, even in the Uchiha clan. This girl had the potential to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"It can be trained with emphasis!"
He nodded and decided to pay attention to this junior.
At night, tourists who came to Konoha stayed in hotels.
Ninjas from various villages participating in the Chunin Exam also stayed in the hotels arranged by Konoha.
Among the rooms assigned to Iwagakure, one room was protected by a soundproof barrier.
In that room were three men and two women.
"How is it? Did you see the mission target?"
A middle-aged man asked.
"I saw him from a distance, but Konoha's Anbu were monitoring him, so I didn't dare get too close."
A female ninja replied.
"Are you sure he's the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki?"
The middle-aged man continued.
"I'm sure. I sensed an extremely dangerous chakra in him. He's definitely the jinchūriki."
The female ninja nodded.
She was a sensory-type ninja. Her role on the team was to confirm whether Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.
"Very good. The mission target is confirmed. Next, we wait for the chance to kidnap him during the Chunin Exam."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"It might be difficult for us to capture him and escape from Konoha successfully."
One man frowned.
"According to the village, there will be a disturbance during the Chunin Exam. That will be our chance."
The middle-aged man explained.
"A disturbance? Did the village send someone besides us?"
The female ninja asked, puzzled.
"Seems like it, but I don't know the details."
The middle-aged man said.
After the five discussed the specifics of their plan, they released the soundproof barrier and went their separate ways.
None of them noticed that in a shadowed corner of the room, a pair of eyes were embedded strangely into the floor.
The entire discussion just now had been observed through those eyes.
Swish—
The eyes disappeared into the floor and vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.
