At the same time.
When the matter of Aizen summoning East Sensei came to an end.
Located in the Land of Fire, Wood Leaf Village.
Rope Tree had already joined Konoha's security force.
At this time, after the Shinobi World War, the Chunin Exam that was jointly held by the five major powers also began.
This year's event was held in Wood Leaf Village.
Therefore, even the villagers of Wood Leaf Village, who are usually very slow, could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere of the entire village at this time.
"Pata!" "Pata!"
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, four figures slowly appeared at the gate of Wood Leaf Village.
The leader was a middle-aged man who covered half of his face with a cloth. His expression was as cold as ice, and he wore a forehead protector on his forehead that symbolized Sanin.
Behind him was a red-haired boy.
The red-haired boy carried a huge gourd on his back, his eyes were dark, and his face was expressionless. His eyes seemed to always exude a cold temperature.
Beside him, a man and a woman stood on his left and right. The man was dressed in black, and his face was smeared with strange purple paint.
The woman had blond hair, wearing ninja net stockings on her legs, and a confident smile on her mouth, looking mature.
After she arrived at the gate of Wood Leaf Village.
Gently raising her head, she first glanced at the interior of Wood Leaf Village, then narrowed her eyes, gently glanced at the surrounding lush environment, and chuckled softly.
"This is Wood Leaf Village. Compared to our Sanin, this environment is really bad!"
Hearing her words, the middle-aged man who covered half of his face couldn't help but look gloomy, and said in a dignified voice.
"Temari, this is already Wood Leaf's territory, remember to pay attention to what you say."
"If you lose our Sanin's face here, even Wind Shadow -sama won't easily forgive you."
Hearing his harsh words, Hand Ju couldn't help but gently stick out her tongue. She put her hand in front of her chest and turned her head sideways.
"I know, Teacher Markey."
After saying that, he muttered softly.
"I'm just curious as to what kind of place could nurture such a legendary expert …"
Hearing her words, Markey's face couldn't help but darken as he rebuked.
"You're still talking!"
"Enough!"
At this moment, a cold childish voice sounded in the arena. The red-haired young man with a gourd on his back and the word 'love' on his forehead glanced at the two of them and slowly spoke.
"Teacher Ma Ji, sister, we should go in. Don't embarrass Sanin here!"
Hearing his words, both of them froze. Then, Markey restrained his expression, pondered for a moment, and slowly walked to the entrance of Wood Leaf's village.
After showing their identification, the four of them slowly entered Wood Leaf Village.
At the entrance of the village, two figures standing here looked at the backs of the four people and didn't look away for a long time.
"What a scary kid … Have you heard of any famous genius in Sanin this year, Izumo?"
A ninja with a bandage on the bridge of his nose narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the young ninja with long slanted bangs beside him, and asked softly.
Hearing his words, Izumo slowly withdrew his gaze from the red-haired young man. His eyes slightly pondered, and his voice was slightly calm.
"I haven't heard any news from Sanin this year, but you should have heard of it a few years ago, Zi Tie …"
"Fourth Daime Wind Shadow let his youngest son become the Tailed Beast Column Force …"
Hearing his words, Zi Tie couldn't help but stare, then he was surprised.
"Could it be that this brat is …?!"
Izumo's eyes were solemn, and he slowly nodded.
At this time, as if thinking of something, Zi Tie's face showed a smile, and he chuckled softly.
"It seems that this year's Chunin Exam will be very interesting …"
Hearing his words, Izumo was puzzled and asked.
"Why do you say that?"
In this regard, Zi Tie glanced at him, the corner of his mouth hooked up, and he chuckled.
"Don't forget, this year, Naruto is also at the age to take the Chunin Exam."
Hearing this, Izumo's eyes widened, as if thinking of something, and he murmured.
"You're right … I heard from Kakashi that the kid has been receiving guidance from Jiraiya -sama recently … His strength has improved a lot!"
Speaking of this, his eyes were slightly excited, and he chuckled.
"If Naruto, the Kyuubi Column Force, meets the Ichibi Column Force, it will definitely be a brilliant match."
Hearing his words, Zi Tie couldn't help but smile, and he chuckled.
"That's right, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Naruto has reached the age to win face for our Wood Leaf …"
In this regard, Izumo's exposed eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and he chuckled.
"That's right …"
"And, you should have noticed it recently …"
Hearing his words, Zi Tie couldn't help but look startled, and then his eyes narrowed, and he slowly said.
"Are you talking about the recent actions of the Wood Leaf Garrison …"
In this regard, Izumo nodded slowly and said softly.
"Since Rope Tree Senpai joined the Wood Leaf Garrison, he has done a lot of things. Look at the people around the village now."
Hearing his words, Zi Tie couldn't help but follow Izumo's gaze.
At this moment, at the edge of Wood Leaf Village, every certain distance, a monitoring point can be found in the open position.
Moreover, these people's clothes have a uniform symbol, a circle.
Seeing this symbol, Zi Tie couldn't help but murmur.
"This … this is … the Senju Clan …"
Hearing his words, Izumo's eyes tightened, and he quickly said in a deep voice.
"Shh … Keep it down …"
Zi Tie quickly reacted and stopped talking, but there was still a strong surprise in his eyes, and he whispered.
"Does Rope Tree Senpai really want to …"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Izumo had already understood, and a casual look flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at the sky and whispered.
"Who knows, in any case, this is a matter for the higher-ups, we just have to do our own thing."
Hearing his words, Zi Tie nodded slowly as if he was deep in thought.
At the same time.
In Wood Leaf Village, at a huge mahogany bridge.
Team Seven, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, gathered together again.
In front of them, a tall silver-haired voice was standing there, holding out a finger as if to say something.
"What did you say, Kakashi -sensei!?"
"You want us to take the Chunin Exam!?"
Two voices blurted out at the same time.
