Time slowly flowed by, and a month quickly passed. Konoha's Chunin Exams slowly began. Various small nations around the Land of Fire dispatched genin teams to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams. Shinobi from Grass Village, Rain Village, Waterfall Village, and other countries arrived in Konoha.
Not only small hidden villages, but even Sunagakure, also a great hidden village, dispatched genin teams to Konoha. After all, they were allies with Konoha, so Sunagakure almost always participated whenever the Chunin Exams were held.
At this moment, Konoha was also extremely bustling. Shinobi from various countries arrived in Konoha one after another. Not only shinobi, but many merchants also came in groups. They saw many business opportunities here. Each grand event like the Chunin Exams was a good opportunity for them to earn money.
At this moment, four people stood in front of Konoha's main gate "583". The one standing in the middle was a young man around fifteen years old, with short black hair, a handsome face, and deep, dark pupils. Standing to his left was also a young man around fifteen years old, with long golden hair tied into a ponytail. The golden hair on his forehead covered his left eye, revealing a blue eye. His forehead protector bore the cherry blossom emblem of Sakura Village. This was Deidara.
Standing on his right was also a young girl, wearing a black ninja suit. She had long blue hair and beautiful, dark pupils. Her forehead protector bore the cherry blossom emblem, and she carried a katana on her back. Her figure was tall and graceful.
This girl was one of Sakura Village's genius shinobi. Not only was she a kenjutsu ninja, but she was also proficient in medical ninjutsu, making her an all-rounder genius ninja. Her name was Takeshita Junichi. The reason she was brought along this time was to temper her in the Chunin Exams and to gain experience and strength through killing and actual combat.
Standing behind the three was one of Sakura Village's few jĹŤnin, named Oda Yu, a young man around thirty years old with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He was nominally the team leader, bringing the three-person genin team to Konoha.
Looking at the huge, imposing gate bearing the Konoha symbol, Deidara asked Su with some excitement, "Su, so this is what Konoha Village looks like? It's my first time seeing such a prosperous village."
The young man standing in the middle was Su. However, he had used a Transformation Jutsu to transform himself into a fifteen-year-old boy. His appearance had changed quite a bit, so if it weren't someone extremely familiar with him, they wouldn't recognize him at all.
"Don't call my name here. Someone in Konoha already knows my name. Be careful not to expose us. Let's go," Su said blandly, then took out his forehead protector from his ninja tool pouch and put it on his forehead. The four of them slowly walked towards Konoha's main gate.
At this moment, there were many people in front of Konoha's main gate. Some were merchants from the Land of Fire or other surrounding countries. They all had to pay a considerable fee to do business in Konoha. More, however, were ninjas who came from other countries to participate in the Chunin Exams. There were ninjas from Grass Village, Rain Village, Waterfall Village, and some other small villages, all ninjas from the small countries around the Land of Fire.
However, aside from the outwardly allied Land of Wind, the other three villages would not show Konoha any respect. The Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth need not be mentioned; they had deep grudges with Konoha, and their relationship was relatively poor. Although the Land of Water's grudge with the Land of Fire was not deep, this country had just ended a civil war a few years ago. Although it now practiced an open-door policy, Kirigakure had consumed a great deal of power in the civil war, so it now needed to recuperate and develop its strength. Therefore, it was normal for them not to send ninjas to participate. They now needed to preserve and develop their power.
At this moment, in front of Konoha's main gate, Su and the others were also queuing behind the rest of the teams, waiting for the registration ahead. All foreign personnel coming to Konoha for this Chunin Exam needed to register their information to prevent any accidents. They had to register their information properly before they could enter Konoha.
As time flowed, it was finally Su's turn. The one who greeted them was an ordinary Konoha chunin. He had average strength and a very ordinary appearance, belonging to the type that would be impossible to find in a crowd.
"May I ask who you are...?" The Konoha chunin looked at Su and the others with some suspicion. After all, Sakura Village had only begun to gain notoriety in the ninja world in recent years, and their village's information management was very strict. It was difficult for any intelligence to leak out of the village. Therefore, a chunin like him had never seen Sakura Village's forehead protector...
"Hello, we are ninjas from Sakura Village. We have come to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exams at the invitation of the Hokage," At this moment, Oda Yu, as the jĹŤnin leader of this small team, stepped forward from behind and spoke, and he also passed over the invitation letter from the Hokage to Sakura Village. This item could serve as proof of identification between villages. Who knew if the other party was not a disguised ninja from a hostile nation.
"Hmm, that's right, it is indeed Lord Hokage's personal seal. Everyone from Sakura Village, please follow me." The chunin confirmed the invitation letter, then nodded with a smile and led Su and the others forward to register their information and fill out the Chunin Exam application form.
"Hmph!!!" A strange smile appeared at the corner of Su's mouth. "Su, I never thought it would be so easy to enter Konoha, hehe." Deidara chuckled softly.
"Brother Deidara, don't casually call Lord Kage by his name. That will expose us." Takeshita Junichi said unhappily to Deidara. Deidara instantly had a dark line on his forehead. Although Deidara was also one of Sakura Village's high-ranking members, his childlike personality was very popular among young ninjas in the village, so genin like Takeshita Junichi had no reservations about talking to him.
"Let's go, don't say too much. Let's enter Konoha first." Su said blandly. The group quickly registered their information. Su signed his name on his application form: "Suisen Junichi," this was the pseudonym Su took for himself.
At this moment, the setting sun was already in the west. The light of the setting sun tinged the clouds on the horizon red, making them extraordinarily beautiful. At the same time, a feeling of chill arose. Walking on the streets of Konoha, Deidara curiously looked around, appearing very interested.
"So this is Konoha. It truly lives up to its reputation as the largest ninja village, much more prosperous than our village," Takeshita Junichi also said with some excitement. Su smiled and said, "In the future, we won't be inferior to Konoha. Have confidence in our village." "Yes, Kage... Oh, no, Junichi." The young girl suddenly realized something and quickly corrected herself.
