The Chapter get Retranslated
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi was slightly startled, then respectfully lowered his head and said nothing more. "Hehe, what a clever fellow," Orochimaru thought to himself, watching Kabuto.
"Alright, next we need to prepare for the big gift we'll give Konoha a month from now. It will surely surprise that old man. If possible, we'll also create enough chaos to take Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama," Kabuto Yakushi calmed his thoughts and replied respectfully. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Kabuto said respectfully.
"Go prepare," Orochimaru said with a sinister smile. Then, Kabuto Yakushi disappeared with a Body Flicker Technique. "Hehe, the Chunin Exams a month from now will probably be quite interesting," Orochimaru's snake eyes flickered, and he chuckled hoarsely.
And so, as everyone prepared for their respective goals, a month slowly passed. All the genin who were going to participate in the third Chunin Exams were actively preparing and training.
Naruto also met Jiraiya, who took him for training, where he learned to initially use the Nine-Tails Chakra and also learned the Summoning Jutsu.
Sasuke was also taken by Kakashi, undergoing extremely rigorous special training with him. Not only did his speed, strength, reaction, and other aspects greatly improve, but he also learned Kakashi's signature Ninjutsu, Lightning Blade, and his combat experience skyrocketed.
Mizu and her two companions, along with Oda Yuu, did nothing, remaining idle in Konoha Village. Mizu had already obtained the information she wanted here, so she didn't need to make any unnecessary moves.
A month passed quickly, but during this month, the ninja from other villages participating in the Chunin Exams who were staying in Konoha could easily feel the increasingly tense atmosphere in Konoha Village.
Anbu figures appeared intermittently in many places, as Orochimaru's appearance had sounded the alarm for this village, which had been peaceful for over a decade.
"Is that Orochimaru really that powerful? Look how scared Konoha is~" Deidara said dismissively, looking out the window at the still prosperous Konoha Village.
"You'd best not underestimate Orochimaru. It's said that Orochimaru is obsessed with researching forbidden jutsu. He defected years ago after being discovered conducting
forbidden jutsu experiments on Konoha villagers and ninja. He's a very dangerous individual, and from what I know, he was once a member of that organization," Mizu said calmly.
Upon hearing Mizu's words, Deidara's pupils slightly constricted. He knew perfectly well what 'that organization' Mizu was referring to, and he was very familiar with the strength of Akatsuki members, having joined them after being defeated by Itachi Uchiha years ago.
Hina Oda and Junko Takeshita, who were standing nearby, both trembled upon hearing Mizu's words. Using people from an enemy village for human experimentation was one thing, but using one's own village companions for experiments was something not just anyone could do.
"The third Chunin Exams will be soon. There will be a massive disturbance. Once chaos breaks out, Oda-jōnin, you are responsible for taking Junko out of Konoha Village to the agreed-upon location to wait for us. Deidara and I still have some things to handle," Mizu said to Oda Yuu.
"Yes, Sakurakage-sama," Oda Yuu replied respectfully. Junko Takeshita also nodded and said, "You two be careful too, Big Brother Deidara, and Sakurakage-sama."
"Hehe, don't worry. I, Deidara-sama, am the greatest artist in this world. A mere Konoha cannot stop me, un. This time, I will surely blow Konoha sky high, un," Deidara said excitedly.
"Heh, this job will keep you excited for a long time," Mizu said with a smile. At the same time, her dark pupils instantly transformed into scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
A month passed quickly. At the same time, the human traffic in Konoha increased dramatically. Countless merchants, nobles, and even representatives from other countries flocked to Konoha.
The streets of Konoha Village were bustling, and the influx of outsiders grew, including many spies from other countries seeking intelligence about Konoha. The entire Konoha Village suddenly became a whirlwind of activity.
The sky was incredibly clear; it was a good day. Today was the day of the third Chunin Exams. The huge arena in the center of Konoha was already filled with spectators.
People surged inside the arena; not only civilians and ninja, but also daimyo from many countries personally came to Konoha to watch.
At the highest point of the arena, there were two very conspicuous seats, prepared for the Hokage of Konoha and the Kazekage of Sunagakure.
As the leader of Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Kazekage was the most distinguished guest at these Chunin Exams, and Konoha naturally extended the highest level of hospitality.
At this moment, the Third Hokage was already seated on the right-hand chair, while the Kazekage, dressed in a blue ceremonial robe, wearing a blue conical hat, and with his mouth covered by a white cloth,
slowly ascended to the high platform. The Third Hokage enthusiastically stood up and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Kazekage-sama, you must be tired from your long journey. Welcome to Konoha Village."
"Hehe, not tired, not at all tired. Never mind me, Hokage-sama, you should hurry and decide on the Fifth Hokage candidate," a sharp voice came from the Kazekage's mouth. Although his tone was very polite, his words were subtly provocative.
The Third Hokage seemed not to have heard the provocation in the Kazekage's words, but instead laughed heartily and said, "Kazekage-sama is joking, but I believe this old man can still serve for another five years."
Saying this, the Third Hokage changed the topic and said, "It's almost time to begin." "Hehe," the Kazekage chuckled, saying nothing more, but a complex, snake-like coldness occasionally flickered in his eyes.
