The Strongest Hokage

Chapter 422: Invitation to the Joint Chunin Exam

The Rain Village, Main Building.

Tsunade didn’t look older, she was sitting behind the Kage’s desk, while Konoha was working on some documents beside her, and she also didn’t change much.

Naito was sitting there relaxed on a chair in front of the desk, holding a cup of tea.

“So, Konoha invite us to participate in the Chunin Joint Exam they’re holding? It’s kind of interesting.”

An arrogant grin smug appeared on Naito’s face. This sentence made Tsunade and Konan fall into a bit of strange silence. Why would a Chunin Joint Exam held by Konoha be interesting to Naito?

Not a lot of things interests Naito; even the selection of a new Hokage won’t make him particularly concerned.

“It’s set to be held after two months, then are we participating?”

Tsunade rested her arms on the table, held her hands together, and then gently looked at Naito, and asked.

This kind of thing should be her decision, but Naito suddenly came to her office, so she would naturally ask for his opinion.

“What do you mean?”

With a chuckle that no one could understand, Naito looked at Tsunade and asked her this question.

Tsunade pondered for a while, then she said with a stern expression: “If we’re going to participate, then we shouldn’t do just do it for the sake of participating, we should win the tournament. Over the years, you have gradually faded out of the picture. Our Village is no longer considered as strongest, even the number of tasks that were entrusted to us has been reduced a lot.”

“Missions are the backbone of a village, the Rain Village needs to be known for its strong elite Shinobis. It’s bad for us to make you do all the work...”

Tsunade carefully analyzed the situation, and although she mentioned Naito several times, she actually threw him out of the equation.

Because adding him to anything will actually solve the equation. With a word from Naito, everything can be solved.

“I agree with what Tsunade-Sama has just said.”

Silently standing aside, Naito nodded gently, even though he was the God of Shinobi, who would dare to ask him to do tasks?

Strong Jonin ninjas are the backbone of a village.

“Then, let’s participate.”

Naito took a sip out of his tea and said with a smile on his face: “We will let Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin join.”

Puff!

Tsunade, who was just taking a sip out of her water, spitted it all on the documents in front of her the moment she heard Naito’s words.

He’s gonna make Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin join the Chunin Exam?!

Tsunade widened her eyes and sat there, while Konan next to her was stunned.

It was clear that the strength of this trio is beyond the level of any Chunin, and Naito actually wants them to form a team?!

If this trio joins the Exam, no one else will walk alive out of it!

“What’s the problem? As long as I remember, Haku and Kimimaro were never promoted to the Chunin Rank, and Karin didn’t even become a Genin.”

Naito took another sip and said faintly.

“This guy...”

Tsunade was speechless. If he didn’t seem serious to her, she would have thought that he was joking. So she couldn’t help but consider it.

Tsunade took a deep breath, then nodded, “Alright, they will be a big surprise to the world, but... who’s gonna lead the team?”

Speaking of which, Tsunade seemed a little bit hesitant.

To participate in the Exam, a team leader is required. In this case, who will lead the trio’s team?!

At present, the only person who can lead this team is Tsunade, Konan, Kushina, and Naito. Others are simply not qualified to lead while Kimimaro is in a team.

“It’s okay, just let me do it.”

Naito took another sip, then said casually.

Upon hearing this, Konan, who was going to pour one more tea for Naito, suddenly froze.

Naito will personally lead the team?!

A team that Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin in?!

Are they gonna take the Chunin Exam, or are they planning to wipe out Konoha?!

Although Kimimaro and Haku are only Genin, Karin isn’t even a Genin, but these are only their ranks on the papers. In reality, they were the Anbu forces of the Rain Village, who directly serves under Tsunade!

After their strength stepped into the Kage Level, Naito specially added this rank in the Rain Village. But so far, only Haku, Kimimaro, and Karin have been selected for this position.

And when more Rain Shinobi join in, they will be... Anbu Commanders!

The Rain Village has canceled the Anbu department, but they were qualified to be in that position with their strength. Only those tasks that are particularly difficult to handle will be taken by the trios to deal with.

If those three join the Chunin Exam with Naito as the team leader, it will be a little too exaggerated. Even Tsunade felt stunned hearing this.

“Naito... Are you sure about this?”

“It just doesn’t matter. But I will also get the chance to see Hinata’s recent progress, it seems that she will also take this Exam, so isn’t this convenient enough?”

Naito stood up, shrugged, then turned away.

Feeling stunned for a while, Tsunade shook her head helplessly and said, “Forget it, it will be fine...”

......

Shinobi World, in an unknown location.

It was a hilly desolated area, and among these hills, there was a huge cave.

Inside the cave, Black Zetsu, who was attached to unknown Shinobi, stood there, with a cold flashing light in his eyes.

At this time, White Zetsu rose out of the ground and said: “Indra’s successors are always easy to manipulate, but Ashura’s always seem to be the issue.”

White Zetsu’s face showed a helpless expression, he spread his hands and said: “Ashura’s reincarnate, Uzumaki Naruto, is kind of an idiot, it will be difficult to manipulate him for now.”

“What happened to Uchiha Itachi?” Black Zetsu said with a somber expression.

White Zetsu shook his head, “You were clear about his situation, we will use him to get our hands on Sasuke, for now, everything seems fine.”

“Good.”

Black Zetsu nodded, then suddenly clenched his teeth, and said, “Damn this, we shouldn’t have exposed the Rinnegan. That guy, Naito, we couldn’t manipulate him into collecting the Bijuu after getting the Rinnegan... He obviously didn’t become the Juubi’s Jinchuriki, but he actually possesses the power of the Six Paths...”

Speaking of which, Black Zetsu’s eyes flashed with a deep sense of fear, he actually didn’t have any idea how Naito has actually possessed the power of the Six Paths.
