The Chapter get Retranslated

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi's heart skipped a beat. He respectfully lowered his head and remained silent. "Heh heh, what a clever fellow," Orochimaru mused inwardly, observing Kabuto.

"Alright, it's time for us to prepare. A month from now, we'll give Konoha a grand gift. That old man will surely be surprised. If possible, we'll create enough chaos to take Sasuke Uchiha with us." Orochimaru said with an evil smile.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto Yakushi calmed his thoughts and replied respectfully. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Kabuto said politely.

"Go and prepare." Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly. With that, Kabuto Yakushi vanished with a Body Flicker Technique. "Heh heh, the Chunin Exams a month from now should prove quite interesting." Orochimaru's snake-like eyes gleamed as he cackled in a hoarse voice.

Just like that, as everyone prepared for their respective goals, a month slowly passed. All the Genin participating in the third round of the Chunin Exams were actively preparing and training. Naruto also met Jiraiya, who took him to begin training, where he learned to initially use the Nine-Tails Chakra and also learned the Summoning Jutsu.

Sasuke Uchiha was also taken by Kakashi Hatake, undergoing incredibly tough special training with him. Not only did his speed, strength, and reaction time improve significantly in all aspects, but he also learned Kakashi Hatake's signature Ninjutsu, Chidori. The medical product was exposed.

Meanwhile, Suan and his two companions, along with Oda Yuu, did nothing, simply staying idle in Konohagakure. Suan had already obtained the information he wanted here, so there was no need for any extra movements.

A month quickly passed. However, during this month, the ninjas from other villages participating in the Chunin Exams in Konoha could easily feel the increasing tension in Konoha Village. Konoha Anbu members were constantly appearing in many places, as Orochimaru's appearance had sounded an alarm for this village, which had been peaceful for over a decade.

"Is that Orochimaru guy really that powerful? Look how scared Konoha is~~" Deidara said disdainfully, looking out the window at the still bustling Konoha Village.

"You'd best not underestimate Orochimaru. It's said that Orochimaru loves researching Forbidden Jutsu. He defected years ago after being discovered using Konoha ninjas and villagers for Forbidden Jutsu experiments. He's a very dangerous individual, and from what I know, he was once a member of that organization." Suan said indifferently.

Hearing Suan's words, Deidara's pupils slightly contracted. Deidara was very clear about what 'that organization' in Suan's mouth was. He also understood the strength of the Akatsuki members. He was almost invited into that organization years ago after being defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu.

Oda Yuu and Takeshita Junko, who were standing nearby, trembled upon hearing about Yan's words. Experimenting on people from enemy villages was one thing, but experimenting on their own villagers was something not just anyone could do.

"The third round of the Chunin Exams will be soon. There will be a huge riot then. Once chaos erupts, Jonin Oda, you'll be responsible for taking Junko out of Konoha Village first to the agreed-upon location and waiting for us. Deidara and I still have some matters to attend to." Yan said to Oda Yuu.

"Yes, Sakurakage-sama." Oda Yuu replied respectfully. Takeshita Junko also nodded and said, "You two must also be careful, Brother Deidara, and Sakurakage-sama."

"Heh heh, don't worry. I, Lord Deidara, am the greatest artist in this world. A mere Konoha can't do anything to me, un. This time, I'll definitely blow Konoha sky high, un." Deidara said excitedly.

"Don't worry, this is Konoha after all. Even if Konoha ninjas make a move, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. But we don't have that concern, because we are here to cause destruction, aren't we?" Yan smirked coldly. At the same time, his dark pupils instantly transformed into scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

A month passed quickly. At the same time, the human traffic in Konoha grew larger and larger. Countless merchants, nobles, and even representatives from other countries flocked to Konoha.

The streets of Konoha Village were bustling with carriages and horses, and the influx of outsiders continued to increase. Among them were many spies from other countries, seeking to gather intelligence about Konoha. The entire Konoha Village suddenly became turbulent.

The sky was incredibly clear; it was a good day. Today was the day of the third round of the Chunin Exams. The huge arena in the center of Konoha was already filled with spectators. The arena was packed not only with civilians and ninjas, but also with Daimyo from many countries who had personally come 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 highest-ranking dignitary at these Chunin Exams. Konoha naturally extended the highest level of hospitality.

At this moment, the Third Hokage was already seated in the right chair. The Kazekage, wearing a blue divine robe, a blue straw hat, and with his mouth covered by a white cloth, slowly ascended to the high platform. The Third Hokage enthusiastically stood up and exclaimed with a hearty laugh, "╰(‵□′)╯Hahaha, Lord Kazekage, you must be tired from your journey. Welcome to Konoha Village."

"Heh heh, not at all, not tired at all. Putting me aside, Lord Hokage, you should hurry and decide on the Fifth Hokage's successor." A sharp voice emanated from the Kazekage's mouth. Although his tone was polite, his words contained hidden barbs.

The Third Hokage seemed not to hear the provocation in the Kazekage's words and chuckled heartily, saying, "Lord Kazekage is joking. However, I believe these old bones of mine can still work for another five years." At this point, the Third Hokage changed the subject and said, "It's almost time to begin." "Heh heh." The Kazekage smiled, saying nothing more, but a hint of complexity and a snake-like chill flickered in his eyes from time to time.
