Chapter 545 The third exam begins!
In this way, when the Four Purple Flame Formation unfolds, it will be the time when Rasa and Orochimaru join forces to strangle Minato!
And there were eight thousand sand ninjas who sneaked into the Fire Country in batches!
Together with the Sound Ninja who also sneaked in, the total number of coalition forces reached thirteen thousand!
Currently, these ninja troops, under the leadership of Chiyo, are quietly lurking on the outskirts of Konoha Village. When the signal is sounded, they will lead a large group of people to break into Konoha.
According to Rasa's estimate based on intelligence, the number of ninjas in Konoha is close to 20,000, but most ninjas are scattered on the border or performing tasks outside. The number of permanent ninjas in the village will never exceed 6,000!
Taking advantage of Konoha's unpreparedness, the two thousand elite Sand Ninja who sneaked in carried out a central flowering strategy. The lurking Ninja Army took advantage of the commotion to break into Konoha, and then relied on their numerical superiority to wipe out the Konoha Ninjas in one fell swoop, or even directly destroy Konoha. Ye is not a dream either!
Thinking of this, Luo Sha couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
"What's wrong, Kazekage-sama?"
Minato asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little excited at the thought of seeing my Sunagakure genin taking the exam soon."
Luo Sha quickly calmed down her emotions and answered calmly.
"That's it... I hope we can see a wonderful exam." Minato smiled meaningfully.
Rasa's calculations and even the battle plan are all within Konoha's control.
This is of course due to Orochimaru's outstanding contribution.
When Kakugi found Orochimaru, the two of them talked about cooperation, which was to make a game, a game to trap Sunagakure!
That's why Orochimaru took the initiative to find Sunagakure to discuss Konoha's collapse plan, in order to induce Sunagakure to take the initiative to attack Konoha.
On the premise of holding the title of justice, Konoha then used the power of thunder to eliminate Sunagakure, and took advantage of the situation to incorporate the entire Kingdom of Wind into its territory.
Didn’t you see that the coalition forces led by Kakugi are already gathering momentum in Kawa no Kuni?
What Rasa didn't know was that as early as half a month ago, Minato had recalled ninjas who were on missions to Konoha under various names.
Now, except for the 5,000 ninjas in Konoha who were under the command of Kakugi in Kawanogoku, and the border guards scattered in the border areas to guard against Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the rest have been recalled to Konoha.
The number of ninjas in Konoha Village now reaches 12,000!
And under Minato's instructions and Nara Shikaku's arrangements, after the start of this exam, all ninjas will immediately enter a state of preparation for war, and the civilians in the village will immediately be safely relocated.
The Jōnin-level Konoha ninjas all knew that this exam was likely to lead to a surprise attack by Sunagakure on Konoha, and that Konoha would subsequently launch a large-scale counterattack against Sunagakure, and were ordered to keep it secret before the operation began. Gagging order.
Finally, under Orochimaru's instruction, the five thousand Sound Ninja who formed an alliance with the Suna Ninja could backstab at any time.
It can be said that Sunagakure's defeat has been decided!
These actions of Konoha were perfectly concealed from Sunagakure and Jiraiya...
While they were waiting for the exam to begin, Rasa, Orochimaru, and Minato had already exchanged looks with each other several times, all smiling knowingly.
It's just that Rasa thought that Minato had fallen into a trap created by him and Orochimaru, but he didn't know that he was the prey in that trap.
Takima was not used to this kind of occasion. He was very grateful to Konoha for inviting him to watch the ceremony, but he felt a little at a loss when he sat on this stage.
He always felt that there was something going on between the other three that he didn't know, and he couldn't help but cast questioning eyes on the hookah standing behind him.
Of course, Shisha didn't know anything about this, and Shisha seemed to be even more nervous than Takima, standing straight and not saying a word.
Seeing this, Takima could only sigh helplessly.
Takima knew nothing about Konoha's collapse plan and Kakugaku's plan against Sunagakure. Takigakure's current relationship with Konoha was only friendly and there was no formal alliance.
Kadaki didn't expect Takigakure to contribute in this war.
The purpose of Kadomu's efforts to invite Takima is actually to let Takima see the changes in the situation in the ninja world and the strength of Konoha from the perspective of Takima, so that Takima and the Takigakure Village he leads can make the right choice.
Of course, it would be best if Takima directly chooses to side with Konoha in this great change.
......
While Minato, the village leaders, and the famous nobles from various countries were waiting, all the contestants for the third exam entered the venue on time.
Of course Moonlight Hayate was not killed this time, but due to other considerations, Minato still changed the examiner in this official examination.
The examiner of the third exam is Uchiha Inari from the Uchiha clan, an elite jounin who has opened the three magatama sharingan eyes.
Like Uchiha Tiehuo, he is a hawk-like ninja who once followed the eighth generation of Uchiha. Although the Uchiha clan and Konoha are now indistinguishable from each other, his style and personality have not changed.
Uchiha Inari looked around at all the candidates with falcon-like eyes, especially when he looked at Gaara, his eyes became more sinister.
Gaara instinctively shuddered. He keenly noticed that the examiner of the Uchiha clan in front of him did not seem to be friendly to him, and the Shukaku in him seemed to have become quieter.
But Gaara's eyes are still full of determination, even though this month's life in Konoha has been very pleasant, and the people in Konoha are very friendly, just like Ye Cang once said to him, Sunagakure needs to rise again, Sunagakure once What is lost must be regained!
Otherwise, Sunagakure will have to endure the poverty of the yellow sand sky forever!
Kakugi in the audience almost laughed out loud when he saw that the examiner was Uchiha Inari.
Arranging Karin and Gaara together is enough restraint, but now Arranging Magatama Uchiha as the examiner is not giving Shukaku a chance to show off his power at all!
I like!
......
"It's almost time to start the competition." Minato smiled, looked at Luo Sha and others for their opinions, stood up and walked to the balcony.
"Thank you to all the guests, and thank you for gathering here to participate in the Chunin Selection Examination held by our Konoha Village! Now, the twelve contestants who passed the preliminary round will conduct the official selection examination!"
"Please enjoy it, everyone!"
"Oh!!!" the audience cheered and applauded.
"The competition officially begins!" Uchiha Inari briefly introduced the rules of the exam and announced the start of the competition.
The first game, Uchiha Sasuke VS Hyuga Neji!
As the two men stayed off the court, the mood of the entire stadium instantly became heated.
This is a genius showdown between the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan!
Kakugi also watched the game seriously. He also wanted to know, when Chidori meets Kaiten, which one is the sharper spear or the stronger shield?
