Along the way, Kuzan not only obtained all the Sage Techniques of Ryūchi Cave, but also subdued all the snakes of Ryūchi Cave.
On the way to Iwagakure, they recruited Jugo and Uzumaki karin one after another.
A lot of new powers have been added to Kirigakure.
It can be said to be a real bumper harvest.
After passing Kusanagi Village, Kuzan and Terumi Mei's group continued towards Iwagakure.
Iwagakure, as a veteran power among the five great powers, has always been above average in strength.
Although it may not be comparable to Konoha Village and Cloud Shinobi Village.
But it has been steadily suppressing Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
Of course, Sunagakure can definitely continue to be suppressed now.
Kirigakure is impossible.
Iwagakure is surrounded by mountains, and they are all barren mountains full of rocks.
In terms of advantages, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is enough to ensure the stability and peace of Iwagakure.
But in terms of disadvantages, it is not conducive to the development of economy and trade.
Even communication with other countries is difficult.
Because of the relationship between geographical location and terrain, Iwagakure has also been vigorously developing Earth Style ninjutsu.
Of course, the most powerful one is the blood succession elimination developed by Second Tsuchikage.
Dust escape secret technique!!!
This technique can be called the most powerful and destructive ninjutsu under Six Paths.
Hardly one of them.
The only thing that can be compared is probably the space-time ninjutsu Kamui.
One of the two is that it can directly tear the space, and tear any defenses and enemies at the same time.
One is to be able to shatter all the body parts in the entire enchantment into atomic forms and turn them into nothingness.
Any one of them is enough to make all ninjas terrified.
As a Mizukage, Kuzan came to visit Iwagakure and naturally received a warm welcome.
Moreover, at this moment, Kirigakure and Iwagakure are originally allies.
Third Tsuchikage's Onogi, of course knows how to behave.
From outside Iwagakure, when they first entered the Land of Earth, ninjas were sent to greet them.
The reception along the way was also good, giving enough face to Kuzan, the Mizukage.
Kuzan was also happy to enjoy it, and traveled all the way to Iwagakure with Terumi Mei and others.
After crossing Yamanaka, a repaired mountain road, Iwagakure is finally reached.
Onoki brought his son Kitsuchi, Explosion Style ninja Gari, and other village elders and elite ninjas to greet him at the entrance of the village.
It also includes the new generation of ninjas, such as Kurotsuchi the granddaughter of Onoki, the future Fourth Tsuchikage, or the black soil of the leg shadow.
Kurotsuchi was still young at this time, Kurotsuchi looked at Kuzan curiously.
Onogi smiled and said, "Welcome Mizukage-sama."
Kuzan stepped forward, and the old and the young shook hands.
"Master Tsuchikage is polite."
Soon a group of people came to Iwagakure.
After the warm hospitality, Onoki also proposed many new cooperation contents.
Including politics, economy, culture, military affairs, education and so on.
Obviously, it has been considered for a long time.
In short, it is to strengthen cooperation, make the alliance more stable, and achieve a win-win situation.
When it comes to education, Onoki shows a slight embarrassment.
"Hey, Iwagakure seems to be thriving now."
"However, it is very problematic for the cultivation of the next generation."
"To be honest, the disciple Deidara was the one I had the most high hopes for before. I didn't expect that bastard to defect from the village and join the Akatsuki organization!"
"It's really disappointing..."
Kuzan nodded.
Indeed, Onoki is of course very powerful, and he can be regarded as the top existence among the Five Kages.
However, it is a pity that there is no successor.
Of course, Kitsuchi strength cannot be underestimated. He can wrestle with Nine Tails' Kurama, and even use Earth Style Mountain Technique with one hand. Even Gedo Statue and the revived Ten Tails can temporarily suppress.
But other than that, it was Deidara, but unfortunately he defected and joined Akatsuki.
Of course, Iwagakure also has a strong backbone including Explosion Style Ninja Gari , Four Tails Jinchūriki Roshi , and Five Tails Jinchūriki Han.
But the Four Tails Jinchūriki Roshi and Onoki had a quarrel, and left the village to become a wandering monk.
Although this is not a defection, it is difficult to help the village.
It's the Tsunade attitude.
Han is powerful, but taciturn and not good at cooperation. He can be called a strong combat force, but not enough to lead the pack.
Of course this is good.
The next generation is the real successor.
Except for Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi there is almost no ninja who can handle them.
Onogi sighed: "The current Kirigakure, under the governance of Master Mizukage, reopened the ninja school, so that the younger generations of the major families can go to practice and study."
"I heard that the new generation of ninjas in mist Village is also full of talents."
"Hōzuki Suigetsu from the Hōzuki Clan, Kaguya Kimimaro from the kaguya Clan, Yuki Haku from the Yuki Clan, Hotaru from the tsuchigumo Clan, Chojuro, etc."
"In addition, the Uchiha clan who came from Konoha Village, in addition to Uchiha Sasuke, the son of the patriarch Fugaku, there are thirty or forty young people who have awakened the Sharingan."
"It really makes me very envious..."
"Excuse me, Mizukage-sama, how did you do it?"
Kuzan smiled.
In fact, this aspect, of course, is due to his excellent policy after becoming Mizukage.
But on the other hand, it is also because he is familiar with the plot and knows where these outstanding ninjas are.
Kirigakure's up-and-comers like Hōzuki Suigetsu and Chojuro, needless to say.
Haku from the yuki Clan, Hotaru from tsuchigumo Clan, and Kimimaro from Kaguya Clan are the ones who were dug into Kirigakure by Kuzan after he knew about it in advance.
Of course, not to mention the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Sasuke.
Coupled with the people I recruited this time, such as Jugo and Uzumaki karin, there are more and more outstanding talents among the younger generations.
Kuzan said: "In fact, it is nothing more than spreading the net widely, expanding the scope, and improving the accuracy of screening and selection."
"Iwagakure is also a ninja village in a big country. It is impossible that there will be fewer talents in future generations. It depends on whether Master Tsuchikage can find it."
Onogi smiled.
"makes sense."
"Because of the series of resolutions of the last Five Shadows Conference during these times, a temporary peace and stability has been maintained between the two great powers."
"All ninja villages are vigorously developing, whether it is economic and military, or the excavation, search and cultivation of more outstanding ninjas. There is no doubt that this will be the core of competition among the five major powers in the future."
"I have an idea. In two years' time, we will unite all five major nations to hold a Chunin exam covering the whole ninja world."
"In this way, there is no need to launch a war, but it can also test the strength of each major country.
Kuzan's heart skipped a beat.
That's not a bad idea.
"Good idea, I agree."
Onogi said with a smile: "Then wait for two or three years and discuss with the other three big countries."
"good."
The future Tsuhikage Kurotsuchi on the side suddenly brightened.
"A Chūnin exam jointly organized by the whole ninja world?!"
"Doesn't that mean that you can show your strength in front of all the five shadows?!"
"Very good!"
Onogi smiled: "Indeed, but Kurotsuchi, do you think you are really that good? There are many excellent talents in the five major countries, so don't embarrass us Iwagakure by then."
Kurotsuchi snorted, "I won't!"
"Grandpa, and Master Mizukage, let's make an agreement. See you in the Chūnin exam three years later!"
Onogi and Kuzan looked at each other and smiled.
"good."
Discussed the matter of cooperation, and proposed the future Chūnin exam in the whole ninja world.
Kuzan stayed in Iwagakure for a while.
Then bid farewell to Terumi Mei and others again.
After returning to Kirigakure, Kuzan continued to vigorously develop Kirigakure's strength.
Moreover, the cultivation of junior ninjas has been strengthened to prepare for the Chūnin exam three years later.
During these three years, Kuzan resumed the system of joinin leading the team of genin.
This was originally a common model for cultivating Genin in the entire ninja world.
It's just that Kirigakure has stopped for a long time because of the Blood Mist.
After Kuzan restarted, let some excellent and powerful Jōnin lead the new generation of ninjas to grow and practice, and the progress can be said to be rapid.
Among them, the first class is Jōnin led by Ringo .
Members include Yuki Haku, Tsuchigumo Hotaru, and Sagiri.
Haku's Ice Escape Blood Successor Boundary, Tsuchigumo Hotaru with Tsuchigumo clan Secret Technique, plus Puppet Technique.
Sagiri, on the other hand, is a new talent discovered when Kuzan promoted the Sunagakure secret technique before.
A teenage ninja who is good at controlling sand.
This first class is a very rare all-female ninja lineup.
The second squad is led by Jōnin, who is led by Hōzuki Mangetsu.
Members include Hōzuki Suigetsu, Jugo, and Uzumaki Karin.
That's right, it was the Eagle Squad members originally formed by Uchiha Sasuke in the future.
Among them, Hōzuki suigetsu is the younger brother of Hōzuki Mengetsu, and both of them are genius ninjas of the Hōzuki family.
Jugo is the only descendant of the Jugo clan. Under Kuzan's special training in the Sage chakra of Ryūchi Cave, he can gradually control the power of rampage freely.
Uzumaki, a survivor of the Uzumaki family, has powerful perception and medical ninjutsu.
The third squad, is Hoshigaki Kisame as the leader Jōnin.
Members include Uchiha Sasuke, Chojuro, and Kudachi Shigure.
Among them, Uchiha Sasuke needless to say.
Consciously, Hoshigaki kisame in the original book often mentions his younger brother to his co-star Uchiha Itachi.
Of course most of the time it is a joke.
But in this world, he actually became Uchiha Sasuke's mentor.
Chojuro, originally the future Sixth Mizukage.
Of course, in this world, his ability to withdraw from the group is probably not enough to become a future Mizukage.
And kudachi Shigure is also a talent discovered by Kuzan when he promoted the Sunagakure secret technique on a large scale.
A member of the kudachi Clan, possesses the talent to control the Magnet Style secret technique.
The fourth class is the team led by Pakura.
Members included Kaguya Kimimaro, Uchiha Kei, and a boy named Jizo.
Among them, Kimimaro is a descendant of the Kaguya clan, who has mastered the powerful Dead Bone Pulse blood succession limit.
uchiha kei is the most talented ninja among the surviving children of the Uchiha clan, second only to Uchiha Sasuke.
The boy named Jizo is a young genius discovered by Kuzan in the promotion of Hashirama cell dilution.
He is also the only boy in Kirigakure who has been upgraded to give birth to the Wood Style secret technique after being transplanted and fused with Hashirama cells!
Interestingly, the only successful case in Konoha Village, Yamato, was named Tenzo at the time of the root organization.
It may be a coincidence that the only kid in Kirigakure who successfully awakened Wood Style, was named Jizo.
certainly.
Except for these four classes
There are many other ninja freshman squads.
The whole Kirigakure can be described as flourishing, rapid development.
soon.
Time flies by.
The entire ninja world is under the influence of the policy of Kuzan Five Shadows Conference.
Spent the most stable three years.
And this time.
The Chūnin Examination Conference, which was jointly discussed and reported by the five major powers, covered the whole ninja world.....
It is finally going to be held!!!
As for the location of the meeting, Konoha Village, the country of fire with the most central geographical location, was still chosen.
On the surface, this is a general exam for Genin to be promoted to Chūnin.
But in fact, it is the best time for the major forces in the entire Ninja world to show off their muscles.
This is tantamount to a war without gunpowder.
No, it cannot be said that there is no smoke at all.
It just changed the war from the ninja army to the battle between the new generation of ninjas.
The Five Great Nations, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Cloud Shinobi Village, and Leaf Village are all ready to go.
In addition, Rain Shinobi Village, Waterfall Village, Grass Village, and Sound Village created by Orochimaru in the past three years, etc., have all chosen to participate in the war!
It can be said that this is an unprecedented Chūnin exam in the entire ninja world!
Regardless of the participating countries, forces, scale, number of people, quality...
It can be said that there are no ones before or after!!!
For a time, this Chūnin exam became the event that all ninjas in the entire ninja world paid the most attention to.
Moreover, all the Five Kages will be able to watch the battle.
Of course Kuzan is the same.
As Mizukage, he led Kirigakure from the brink of collapse in the Blood Mist to the point where it is now able to fully compete with the most powerful Konoha Village, Cloud Shinobi Village.
The merits of this can be seen by everyone in the entire ninja world.
Under the leadership of Mizukage Kuzan, Kirigakure, all Genin who are eligible to participate in the Chūnin exam, are all ready to go under the leadership of their respective mentors!!!
Take a boat across the water, across the sea.
Finally came to the land of the Fire Nation, and after some time arrived at Konoha Village.
Kirigakure's youth generation is full of masters and talents.
In an instant, it made other big and small countries look sideways!!!
this moment.
The other four big countries, just from the training of the new generation of ninjas in the future, can see the huge gap between themselves and Kirigakure, and the strong gap!!!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Onoki, Fourth Raikage, And Kazekage have all arrived.
Wait until Kuzan, Master Mizukage, also arrives.
This Chūnin exam conference is destined to be remembered in the history of the ninja world...
Finally officially opened!!!!.
