A month passed quickly, and the day of the third session of the joint Zhongnin exam came as scheduled, and Konoha Village welcomed guests from surrounding countries to watch the battle.

It's not the first time that Konoha has held the Joint Shinobi Exam, but this year, there are unusually many people who come to Konoha to watch the battle.

After a year of fermentation, the news of the Dragon Country's investment in Konoha for large-scale development has already spread throughout the ninja world, and the exquisite products produced by the factory jointly established by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce and Konoha have been sold to the most remote mountain villages in the ninja world.

Everyone knows that Konoha has made a fortune, but they don't know how rich they are, and the major forces in the ninja world want to figure out what the current situation of Konoha Village is.

The middle ninja exam is also a platform to show the strength of the ninjas in each village, and many people also want to peek at the strength of the Konoha ninjas, and want to know whether the Konoha ninjas have the ability to protect huge wealth.

If the strength shown by the Konoha ninja is weak...... In the ninja world, a rich life is "the virtuous live", no strength is no virtue, and there is nothing to complain about being snatched away by others.

The bustling flow of people walked along the gate of Konoha Village into the urban area of high-rise buildings, and every visitor from other places who entered the village was stunned by the prosperous scene in front of them, and they all began to suspect that their hometown and Konoha Village were not in the same era at all, and walking into the gate of Konoha was simply a time shuttle.

The construction team of the Dragon Country has already completed the road hardening project in Konoha Village, and the forest road leading to Konoha Village has long been completely renovated according to the standards of expressways, and the road network covers the entire Fire Country.

This can be seen on the border of the Fire Nation, bounded by a tattered and rugged dirt road on one side and a flat, straight road on the other.

However, there are not many vehicles passing on these high-quality, high-standard roads.

The automobile factory of Longmu joint venture has already been put into operation, but the sales of Muchi-brand cars made in Konoha are very poor, and only local people in Konoha Village buy them.

The ninja people seem to have a strange habit of not liking cars, and even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire didn't pay hundreds of thousands of taels to buy a car.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind traveled to Konoha by taking a "sedan chair", which looks like a large, richly decorated box that opens from the side and is carried on the shoulders of four sedan drivers.

The road leading from Konoha to the residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has been completed, but the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has people carry him all the way along the road to Konoha Village in a sedan chair, and it is a stubborn adherence to tradition on the part of the Daimyo who have dragged an hour's car ride into a whole day of walking.

The superior is not carried away, and the sedan chair drivers are not tired and panting, how can they reflect the noble status of the nobles?

……

Sarutobi stood on the gatehouse above the gate of Konoha Village, looking at the endless stream of people entering the village.

At this time, the sedan chairs of the daimyo and nobles began to enter the village in a procession, and the samurai and guardian ninjas directly under the daimyo dispersed the crowd and asked the commoners to get out of the way, leaving the wide road empty and leaving only the daimyo's palanquin to pass.

The old Hokage took a puff of his pipe, and as he watched this scene, he couldn't help but fall into thought.

It is very rare that his apprentice, who has been wandering outside, also returned to Konoha and took the initiative to come to the door, saying that he would stay in Konoha for a long time in the future and no longer travel around to collect materials.

This was a good thing, but Sarutobi thought that he was a prodigal son, and he was finally willing to contribute to the village and take his due responsibility.

In addition to being relieved, Sarutobi Hizashi is also thinking about observing Jiraiya for a year or two, if he changes his temperament and can work for Konoha in a down-to-earth manner, he is also old, so he simply passes on the position of Hokage to him after two years, which can be regarded as completing the inheritance of the will of fire.

As a result, Jiraiya explained the reason for staying with a worried face, he was afraid that Naruto would have no one to supervise and cause a big disaster!

Jiraiya also vaguely told Naruto's bold words to Sarutobi, and Naruto's sensational analysis also scared Sarutobi into a cold sweat.

Obviously, Konoha is thriving, but I didn't expect the crisis to brew in secret!

Sarutobi couldn't sleep these days, and he had been thinking about Naruto's war proposition, and he had been thinking about it for almost a month, but he didn't make a decision.

Naruto's ability, Sarutobi Hinata is clearer than Jiraiya.

That kid is not only a genius in governing the world, but also a hero in troubled times, and today's ninja world, is it in troubled times?

Even if that kid's ninjutsu strength is very poor, just with his demonic mind, he can set off a huge wave that sweeps the ninja world by using his tricks.

If he wants to start a war, even if his strength is low, he will come up with a way to lead the war.

Like Jiraiya, Sarutobi doesn't want Konoha to get involved in the war, probably because the older the rivers and lakes, the less daring they become.

As an old and wise leader of a nation, war is always the last option, and Sarutobi instinctively loaths war, and resents those who claim to change the world through war.

Sarutobi didn't think that Naruto's deduction of the future would definitely happen, and was more inclined to wait for Konoha to prosper economically, take out the money to get rich first and help the latter get rich, bypassing the ninja daimyo to fund other ninja villages, Konoha eats meat, they can drink soup, maybe the others can't reach the level of Konoha wealth, but it's far better than before, this is the right way to peacefully resolve the contradictions in Ninja Village.

Allowing Naruto to plan and prepare for war is tantamount to raising a tiger, ninjas are the best at listening to news, and Konoha can't hide the eyes and ears and spies of the various ninja villages no matter how to hide the secret armament war, it will definitely affect the nervous nerves of all ninja villages, create antagonism, and become hostile to Konoha Village.

Sarutobi was determined to take action against Naruto, put him under house arrest and strictly disciplined him until he changed his mind, but he did not dare to act rashly.

Although Jiraiya did not support Naruto, he did not oppose it clearly, and accepted Naruto as a closed disciple, and Naruto would not sit idly by when he moved, obviously shaken by Naruto's words.

In addition to Jiraiya, the ninjutsu teacher, Naruto also has President Bradero's scientific mentor, and the Dragon Chamber of Commerce specially hired Naruto as the chief researcher of the Scientific Ninja Research and Development Center, and the establishment has been handed over to the Dragon Chamber of Commerce and has become a regular employee of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

According to the "Dragon Wood Goodwill Treaty", even if an employee of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce commits a crime, Konoha Village cannot be interrogated and imprisoned in person, and must obtain permission from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce to arrest people.

If you want to move Naruto, you have to pass the level of his two teachers, unless you quietly send a dark ninja to secretly arrest you, so that you don't know it and announce that Naruto is missing.

Originally, Sarutobi had already arranged a dark team to secretly capture Naruto for interrogation, but an incident that happened a week ago dispelled this idea.

A week ago, the shadow ninja who was spying on Naruto came to report that Naruto took advantage of the night to break into the grass ninja camp alone, single-handedly overturned twelve grass ninjas, and three of these twelve grass ninja stole a female ninja from the grass ninja camp.

Afterwards, the captain of the grass ninja who led the team formally protested to Konoha and demanded that Konoha severely punish the perpetrators.

Later, the country of dragons sent diplomats to calm down the incident and threw a large sum of money into the grass ninja village, which was regarded as compensation for Naruto's injury and robbery, and in exchange, the robbed female ninja belonged to Naruto.

Sarutobi is also getting more and more confused, what is wrong with Naruto, this kid, he just wants to start a war, how can he rob a woman?

And no matter what bad things Naruto wanted to do when he kidnapped a little girl, according to the dark shinobi who had observed the battle from afar, with Naruto's ninjutsu strength, it was by no means as mediocre as the ninja school graduation exam results showed, and it was not a task that one or two dark teams could complete if they wanted to capture him quietly and secretly.

Not to mention, Naruto also has a lot of weird and difficult scientific ninjutsu methods, and when the time comes, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to capture him, but he will also lose his manpower, and the aftermath of the battle will definitely cause large-scale chaos, which will be detected by the Dragon Country fleet floating in the sky.

The hope of Naruto, who is hard in the background, strong in his own strength, and ambitious in the future, has become the biggest problem for Sarutobi Hichi, the old Hokage took a puff of cigarette, and finally made up his mind, and when the middle ninja exam was over, he would personally take action, and he must catch Naruto and lock him up and restrain him well.
