The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 806 Surprise or not?

Uchiha clan.

Orochimaru's basement.

“Father…!” Hanabi murmured.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

Hinata, who was next to her, also opened her eyes at this moment.

"Father, has he already left?"

Hinata shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

They didn't know how long they talked or when they fell asleep.

Ta-ta-ta.

Footsteps approached, and Qianyao walked in.

"Worried that you would be sad, Orochimaru sent Hiashi back while you were asleep."

Hinata and Hanabi both looked somewhat downcast.

But at least it eased my longing, which is already pretty good.

"The Chunin Exams are in two days, Hanabi, do your best."

Hanabi has now fully recharged and has recovered a lot.

She stood up and replied with a resolute expression, "Yes, clan leader, I will do my best!"

Chiyo smiled and turned to Hinata, instructing her:

"Hinata, you're already a Chunin, but you still have relatively little experience. In this Chunin Exams, you, Naruto, and Sasuke will all be proctors."

"Oh, me? Can I?"

Hinata was a Chunin several years ago, but she lacked leadership skills.

So they've been stuck at the Chunin level. Neji is now a Jonin, but Hinata isn't even a Special Jonin.

This is also a chance for Hinata to get some experience.

Most of the people who come out of the Uchiha Kindergarten are Special Jonin.

Only Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke are Chunin.

Hinata goes without saying, Naruto usually hides his strength, and Sasuke's development is very balanced, just reaching the edge of becoming a special Jonin.

Of course, now that Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength can no longer be measured in that way.

Chiyo patted Hinata on the shoulder:

"This has already been decided. You will be informed of the exam process tomorrow. This is also an assessment of you."

"Yes! I will definitely do my best, Chieftain!"

Hinata agreed because Chiyo trusted her so much.

……

A few days later.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, accompanied by a few guards, left Konoha openly and headed to the Stone Mine on the border.

Minato Namikaze did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but instead traveled under the watchful eyes of various spies along the way.

Many spies were unsure whether this Hokage was real or fake.

We'll have to wait until we meet with Iwagakure to see if Onoki can tell the difference.

Shuimen traveled very quickly, and basically didn't rest along the way.

Many spies simply couldn't keep up with Shui Men's speed, so they had to take turns keeping watch in stages.

It only took half a day for Minato to reach the Stone Mine.

Because there was a mine here, a small village developed around it to provide some of the necessities for the miners.

However, the mine has now dried up, and the village has been abandoned.

Deidara and Kurotsuchi were already waiting at the village entrance before the water gate arrived.

"Welcome, Hokage!"

Deidara gave an exaggerated bow, then secretly winked at Minato, knowing exactly who was in front of him.

Minato chuckled: "Let's go, take me to Onoki, you guys stay here."

Among the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Guard, Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tsubasa were the least noticeable.

It wasn't because the previous Fourth Hokage died young, but because they, as members of the Shadow Guard, never performed their duties.

After all, Minato Namikaze was the fastest ninja in the world. These few Kageshiro were even less likely to be able to defeat someone who could pose a threat to Minato.

Besides, the person who came wasn't Minato.

Minato had already keenly sensed that there were a large number of hidden rocks nearby.

But none of these were directed at Minato; they were just Onoki's guards.

Deidara turned around and led the way with a relaxed expression, while Kurotsuchi remained silent.

After all, the person in front of him is the Fourth Hokage!

The group entered the house. Onoki was floating in the air with his hands behind his back. Standing beside him was Akatsuchi, who was like a wall, and another Iwagakure Jonin.

When they saw the water gate enter, their eyes flashed with scrutiny, and their bodies tensed up.

After all, the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha wasn't very good.

"I didn't expect the Fourth Hokage to come in alone." Onoki was surprised that the other party didn't even bring the Kage's guards.

Minato shook his head: "I am not the Fourth Hokage."

Onoki frowned. He had received news early on that the Fourth Hokage had not used the Flying Thunder God Technique the whole way, and now he actually admitted that he was not Minato.

"What does Konoha mean by this?"

Onoki didn't get angry, but asked in a deep voice.

After all, the other party had come from afar, so it was impossible for them to risk their lives to make fun of him.

"I felt that the Fourth Hokage couldn't make the decision, so I took over."

With that, he said "Minato" and the transformation was canceled with a bang.

A man who looked like a nightmare appeared before Onoki.

"Uchiha Chiyo!?"

Onoki's pupils dilated, and his body involuntarily floated back a few meters.

Aside from Deidara and Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi and another Jonin were all looking at Chiyo with wary expressions, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

Deidara smiled, after all, he already knew it was Chiyo.

Kurotsuchi was just a little nervous and curious, as she had also been imprisoned for a period of time in the Uchiha clan's territory back then.

Although Qianyao's record is terrifying, she is not afraid of Qianyao.

There was no other reason, just a feeling.

What Qianyao said is very true. After all, when a new Hokage is in office, most of the power of the former Hokage will be transferred.

Therefore, he said that the Fourth Hokage, Minato, could not make the decision.

With the Fifth Hokage, Senyo, around, he naturally has the final say.

Seeing Onoki's tense expression, he waved his hand:

"Alright, Onoki, you can't escape if I make a move from this distance."

Onoki looked a little embarrassed, but after all, he was almost eighty years old and quickly recovered.

"Cough cough... I didn't expect the Fifth Hokage to actually return."

Qian Yao smiled enigmatically: "So, are you surprised? Unexpected? Happy?"

Ohnoki: "..."

[I'm not happy at all!]

If Onoki had any other thoughts before, he became completely obedient after learning that Chiyo had returned to Konoha.

"Now that you're back, why bother with alliances? You're enough on your own."

Onoki spoke tentatively.

After all, during the last Shinobi World War, Chiyo's Martial God Susanoo single-handedly chased down nearly ten thousand Sunagakure soldiers.

Four or five thousand Sand Villagers died at the hands of Senyou.

If Chiyo were to step forward and rally the troops, Sunagakure might even surrender outright.

Qianyao shook his finger: "I did all of this by myself, so the other people in Konoha didn't get any training."

"If Sunagakure surrenders directly, how am I supposed to conquer the Land of Wind?"
