Traveling through Naruto, the Nine-Tails is gone

Team 7 Naruto led a group of Konoha's little strong men. Since each team had already obtained the scrolls they needed, not to mention that Naruto's shadow clones also brought a lot of them, there was no pressure of being eliminated, and everyone was happy to get together to chat.

After all, there was plenty of time. The assessment period was a full five days. Even if they had reached the central tower now, they still had to stay in the tower for five days before they could proceed to the next round of the Chunin assessment.

Anyway, there was no one who could threaten their existence, so everyone was not in a hurry and wandered around in the Death Forest. In addition to picnics and camping, Naruto and Sasuke also actively guided others in their training.

For example, although the current Ino-Shika-Chou, Inuzuka Kiba, and Haruno Sakura were a little stronger than in the original Chunin exam, their strength was a little bit uncertain when facing the Sound Ninja Trio, that is, Toss Anvil.

Among these people, except Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, only Aburame Shino could easily defeat ordinary Chunin with the insects she had cultivated since childhood.

Shikamaru has a good brain thanks to his good genes, and can quickly analyze the battlefield in a crisis and use all factors to help himself turn danger into safety or even turn defeat into victory.

As for the others, Choji and Inuzuka Kiba have the family's secrets, and they are also strong, but their combat experience and mentality are their shortcomings. One is a little timid and the other is too conceited.

As for Ino and Sakura, Ino's family secrets are almost purely auxiliary, and are not suitable for direct combat at all. In addition, if the opponent knows the effect of her secrets, it will be extremely difficult for her to successfully perform the secrets.

Moreover, she and Sakura are both girls, and have not undergone extremely difficult training, so their strength can be said to be the bottom among the little strong.

Fortunately, the ninja school has expanded the training of body skills in recent years, and the plum blossom piles for the graduation exam are also obtained from Naruto.

In short, the strength of the new generation of Konoha's ninjas has been slightly improved.

As for why the improvement is not great, it is because the plum blossom pile body skills taught in the ninja school are only the most basic, unlike the plum blossom piles of swords and fire that Naruto and the other three practiced in the illusion space.

However, Naruto also tried his best to point out the obvious flaws in their physical skills, and patiently learned from them to enrich their combat experience, in the hope that they would not be easily eliminated by others in the next round.

Even if they were not as skilled as others and had to leave the field regretfully, they had to play with due style.

Finally, after four days of training in the Death Forest, they slowly walked to the central tower. The nine young warriors of the new generation of Konoha also passed the second level of the Chunin Assessment.

In the central tower, the young warriors returned to their respective teams and entered their own temporary lounges.

Naruto also found an opportunity to tell Sasuke in detail about Karin's situation. Sasuke said that Karin could stay as long as she wanted, and hoped that Naruto could just move to his house, but was rejected by Naruto again with a look of disgust.

Afterwards, Naruto also met the three members of the Sound Ninja Trio, Toss Anvil.

Having experienced the power of Naruto's shadow clone, Toss Anvil and the other three dared only to show their teeth to Naruto. As for hitting people, not to mention that it is forbidden for candidates to fight privately here, even if it is not forbidden, they dare not easily attack Naruto.

As for Naruto, he just sighed that his shadow clone was not gentle enough and did not kill the three people directly. In fact, at that time, the shadow clone just wanted to settle Karin as soon as possible, and used two moves to knock them down casually, and did not care about their life or death.

Toss Anvil's strength is obviously slightly stronger than his two teammates. Less than an hour after Naruto's shadow clone left, he woke up from his coma, and then directly killed two dying Kusagakure ninjas and took their scrolls.

Then he protected his teammates and woke up. After recuperation, he dared not have any improper thoughts about other teams. He led his companions to the central tower and passed the second level of the Chunin test ahead of time.

At the same time, Naruto also met Gaara and the other two, as well as the third team led by his brother-in-law Neji.

When Gaara saw Naruto, he was filled with murderous intent and was ready to attack without saying a word. However, an Anbu ninja from Konoha immediately came out and ordered to stop Gaara from taking action.

Facing the murderous intent shown by Gaara, Naruto just smiled frivolously. To be honest, if Gaara had directly released Shukaku to fight him, he might have treated it with caution. As for

Gaara, who was now deliberately suppressing the power of the tailed beast, he could not be a match for him and Sasuke at all.

The invigilator ninja made it clear that there would be more assessments to come, all of which were individual battles, and the two had a chance to meet, and finally Gaara was temporarily appeased.

Naruto didn't care, he just wandered around the tower casually and determined the teams that had temporarily passed the second level. Including them, there were only six teams in total.

Four of them were the Twelve Little Warriors of Konoha this year, and the remaining two teams were the Sand Village team led by Gaara and the Sound Village team sent by Orochimaru, including Toss and Anvil.

Naruto remembered that in the original novel, the Konoha spy team led by Kabuto Yakushi also passed the second level. He did not expect that in his own timeline, Kabuto Yakushi and his team did not pass the test. Naruto knew without thinking that this was definitely caused by Orochimaru.

Now Kabuto Yakushi and his team must be quietly deployed in Konoha Village to prepare for Orochimaru's plan to kill his master.

Until the end of the five-day test time, no other candidates arrived at the central tower. At this point, the Konoha examiner, as the host, announced that the second level of the Chunin Exam was officially over.

Then, Gekkou Hayate, who had a weak face and coughed from time to time, appeared in front of everyone, and then announced that a round of advanced tests would be conducted next to determine the final list of the third level of the Chunin Exam. Gekkou

Hayate's remarks made the existing candidates explode immediately, and they raised questions one after another. However, Gekkou Hayate's answer was that there were too many candidates who passed the second level and needed to be screened again.

Everyone protested, but with the appearance of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, everyone immediately quieted down.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to explain. After he finished, he made two simple statements. After the statement, he was ready to give two suggestions. The candidates were all numb.

But in the end, after all the nonsense, everyone understood why they had to further select the number of people for the third round of assessment.

Because the third round of assessment will be held in a month. At that time, in addition to the Hokage of Konoha and the Kazekage of Sand Village, there will also be the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, as well as many nobles who will come to watch the battle.

In order to take care of the emotions of those daimyo nobles, the time of the third round of assessment must not be too long.

After all, the daimyo nobles cannot spend a lot of time watching the battle between ninjas.

There is always something else to do.

For example, while the competition time ends early, Sarutobi Hiruzen can also find an opportunity to show goodwill to the daimyo, communicate with him in a way that pleases him, and let the daimyo open his mouth about Konoha's financial allocation.

In short, no matter what, the number of people in the final assessment competition must be halved at present, otherwise the long competition time will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the daimyo nobles.

Naruto didn't bother to pay attention to the thoughts of the Konoha high-ranking officials. He just sneered at the fact that the finances of the Kingdom of Fire were completely dependent on the funding from the nobles.

A powerful organization with a level of strength that was completely superior to that of ordinary armies could not be self-sufficient and had to rely entirely on others for supplies.

As a so-called strong man, he did not engage in production himself, but only wanted to accept tasks and earn a small amount of remuneration, and then obeyed the orders of the daimyo for some major events concerning the country.

Thinking about the wars that have occurred in the ninja world over the years, Naruto suspected that the so-called wars were caused by the daimyo nobles who saw that the number of ninjas in the major ninja villages was increasing, in order to limit the development of the ninja villages and avoid impacting the interests of their ordinary people.

In order to better divide and balance the strength and relationship of each ninja village, the rulers of each country secretly made up various reasons, created various unexpected incidents and large and small frictions, and made the ninja war more rational.

This not only forced the number of ninjas to be reduced, but also greatly overdrawn the potential of ninjas.

Because, in each previous ninja war, I don’t know how many children who had just become ninjas around the age of ten were thrown into the battlefield.

The chance of survival of these children was pitifully small, and few of them could survive from the battlefield.

In this way, isn’t it overdrawing the future potential of all ninjas? In addition, after the ninja war, each ninja village must have been severely injured.

The sudden decrease in the number of ninjas also made the daimyo of each country naturally say that now that you don’t have so many ninjas, shouldn’t the financial funds be less than in previous years? This vicious cycle continues.

As long as the ninja villages cannot break away from the state and produce independently, the so-called ninjas and ninja villages will eventually become the henchmen of the nobles.

���When they are in a good mood, they will give you a few more pieces of meat and bones. When they are in a bad mood, they will drag you out to compete with other people's dogs. If you win, they will give you a good meal. If you lose, you can go and lick your wounds. If they don't kill you and eat you, it will be considered mercy.

As for letting the ninja villages directly get rid of the constraints of those daimyo nobles and develop their own economy independently?

Please, you should be sober, look at the demise of the Whirlpool Country, and think about how many tricks there are.

You, a dog, suddenly turned wild into a wolf, and you want to establish your own tribe and establish an independent ninja country? How can the nobles of those countries tolerate you? Give more benefits to your own hawks and dogs, and then send them out to encircle and suppress you, and directly destroy you completely.

Why did Konoha not send troops to help when the Whirlpool Country was besieged and destroyed by ninjas from other ninja villages? It was because even if Konoha helped, it could not save the overall situation. There were no peerless strongmen like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha who dominated the world, so you could only be controlled by others.

If you don't listen, then the next target of encirclement and suppression will be you.

Not to mention, the encirclement and suppression plan of the Whirlpool Country, almost all countries and ninja villages have done enough concealment to Konoha, making it extremely difficult for Konoha to obtain effective intelligence.

Naruto thought about the so-called ninja village and ninja, and couldn't help but sneer to himself, it's really guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it.

This also made Naruto summarize a few words in detail. Drawing on the quotations of a famous science fiction writer before crossing, the ninja has come to this field today, not because of weakness or ignorance, but because of arrogance.

Thinking that he has chakra and has learned great ninjutsu, he disdains the production at the bottom and only wants to use the so-called ninjutsu to make quick money.

Little do they know that it is precisely because of the so-called arrogance that the ninjas have no intention of engaging in basic production, which makes them unable to complete the real economic closed loop.

Unable to be independent of the country's financial system, they can only become the hawks and dogs kept by those aristocratic capitalists.
