The Third Hokage paused, as if he had just realized something, and said, "Isn't Uchiha Genba also in your team? Why didn't you recommend him!"
“Uchiha Genba is indeed in our team!” Kakashi continued slowly, “Hokage-sama, since Uchiha Genba captured Orochimaru and brought him back to Konoha, he not only made a great contribution, but his strength must have already far exceeded the level of Chunin.”
"Therefore, I suggest that Konoha directly appoint him as a Chunin, demonstrating its open-mindedness in employing talent without being bound by conventional standards!"
"Hehe..." The Third Generation's voice carried a hint of mockery as he said, "Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken at will."
Genba passed the problem of Orochimaru to the Third Hokage, who would never directly appoint the former as a Chunin.
As he said this, a sudden thought flashed through the Third Hokage's mind, and he said with a smile, "I can have Uchiha Genba and two others take the Chunin Exams ahead of time. Only by passing the test can they obtain the title of Chunin!"
Just now, a plan popped into the Third Generation's mind.
The Third Hokage wanted to use the Chunin Exams as an excuse to eliminate Genba!
After all, the Chunin Exams involve life and death.
Even if it can't be done without anyone noticing.
However, it can also reduce the amount of traces left behind.
This is a great opportunity!
"Yes, Hokage!" Since the Third Hokage said so, Kakashi couldn't really argue with him.
I just felt that the third generation was very bureaucratic.
Not enlightened at all.
After Kakashi left, the Third Hokage said to the Anbu members at the door, "Come in."
After a while.
A member of the secret service wearing an eagle mask walked in.
"Lord Hokage, what brings you here?"
"Go to the Root and invite Lord Danzo here. I have important matters to discuss with him."
"Leader!"
An hour later.
Danzo, leaning on his cane, stepped into the Hokage's office and said, "Lord Hokage, what business do you have with me?"
"Please sit down," the Third Generation said, gesturing with his pipe to the sofa. He then instructed a waiter to serve hot tea.
Then.
The third generation also sat down on the sofa.
His eyes seemed lifeless as he spoke slowly, "I've been in the position of Hokage for a long time. Too many things have happened recently, from Orochimaru's defection to the pressure from the Uchiha clan. It has made me weary and disheartened."
then.
The Third Hokage paused for a moment, then stared intently at Danzo and said:
"Danzo, over the years you have made tremendous contributions to Konoha in secret. With your merits, you are qualified to serve as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"
"However..." The Third Hokage paused, took a drag of his cigarette, and said with apparent helplessness, "Recently, the Uchiha clan has grown stronger and stronger, and geniuses like Uchiha Genba have emerged. If this continues, we will be unable to fulfill Lord Tobirama's last wish to protect Konoha!"
"Lord Hokage, what do you want me to do?" As the leader of Root, Danzo could easily understand what the other party meant. Although the Third Hokage was suspected of making empty promises, if he could get the other party's support, he would have a good chance of becoming the Fifth Hokage!
This exchange is worth considering!
When the fish took the bait.
A chill ran through the Third Hokage's heart, but he spoke with utmost gentleness: "The Chunin Exams will be held in Konoha in half a month. Genba Uchiha will be going to the Forest of Death to take the exams. I want you to lead the elite Jonin of Root and eliminate Genba Uchiha!"
Upon hearing the Third Hokage's plan, Danzo immediately sneered and said, "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Genba was able to capture Orochimaru and bring him back to Konoha. His strength is at least that of an elite Jonin or even a Kage. He wants us Root to take action while you sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. What a cunning plan!"
Danzo's reaction was not unexpected by the Third Hokage. He took a puff from his pipe and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
“Your concerns are valid. In fact, I have serious doubts. Orochimaru was captured by the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Uchiha clan claimed that Genba Uchiha captured him to create hype. A ten-year-old boy has limited abilities and potential; it's impossible for him to grow up so quickly!”
"But we can't let our Root members take risks!" Danzo tapped the table with the back of his finger, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha!" The Third Hokage laughed, then said, "Come with me!"
Danzo was puzzled, but he still left with the Third Hokage.
soon.
The two arrived at a passage beneath the Dark Division.
After passing through many gates.
The two arrived at a dark iron gate.
The surface is covered with runes.
A faint, water-like ripple flowed across the iron gate.
The Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals, then brought his two fingers together, chakra surging within them, before placing them on the center of the water curtain and gently spreading them apart.
The seal on the iron gate in front of them was immediately broken.
Then.
Members of the secret service came up.
Push the iron gate open.
As soon as Danzo stepped into the long-sealed basement, a pungent, rotten smell hit him, almost suffocating him. After he brushed away the pungent smell, a dark brown coffin stood upright in front of him.
The three generations formed hand seals.
"Boom!"
The wooden planks of the coffin were opened.
A person who left Danzo speechless and deeply moved stepped forward.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!
Danzo stared at the Third Hokage in disbelief, his voice trembling as he said, "You actually stole Tobirama-sama's Impure World Reincarnation technique! Hiruzen, you've become too audacious! How dare you do such a perverse thing, even using Tobirama-sama as an experiment!"
The Third Hokage sighed slightly and said, "Now Konoha is threatened by major villages outside and by clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga inside. I have been forced into a corner, so I have resorted to this desperate measure!"
"No need for further explanation, you are blaspheming Tobirama-sensei!" Danzo's voice was tinged with anger.
Tobirama was the person Danzo respected most.
To perform "Impure World Reincarnation," one must obtain the opponent's corpse and flesh.
That's why Danzo said the Third Hokage had blasphemed Tobirama.
"Failing to protect Konoha would be the greatest blasphemy against our teacher!" The Third Hokage shook his head and continued, "Danzo, you wouldn't want an Uchiha to become Hokage and control Konoha, would you?"
These words struck a chord with Danzo, after all, he was the one who hated the Uchiha the most!
The Third Hokage patiently persuaded, "Danzo, although the resurrected Tobirama-sama is not as powerful as the fully-powered version, defeating Uchiha Genba should not be a problem. I will have Tobirama-sama join the fight to ensure the safety of your Root organization. You can rest assured!"
Danzo frowned and asked, "Why not summon the First Hokage?"
The Third Hokage said with a wry smile, "The First Hokage's power is difficult to control; I cannot control it now!"
"All right!"
A massive conspiracy targeting Xuan Ye began to unfold.
...
The outskirts of Konoha Forest.
Genba, Nami, and Sarutobi Taro were waiting for Kakashi's arrival.
More than twenty minutes later.
Kakashi arrived late.
He was holding a copy of "Intimate Paradise" in his hands, seemingly engrossed in reading it.
"Sorry I'm late. I saw a cat doing a backflip on the way here, so I couldn't help but stop and look at it!" Kakashi said, trying to apologize, but his attitude was very perfunctory.
"Kakashi-sensei, if you're going to be late, at least come up with a better excuse! Cats don't do backflips!"
Hearing Kakashi's perfunctory explanation, Sarutobi Taro would rather the former not have explained at all.
"Exactly, hmph!" Nami also seemed to look down on Kakashi, who was often late.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense!" Kakashi closed the Icha Icha Paradise app and solemnly announced, "The Chunin Exams will be held in one month, and the venue will be our Konoha!"
"Although the three of you have only graduated a year ago, your outstanding performance has led me to recommend you to the Hokage for participation in this Chunin Exams!"
"Yay!" Sarutobi Taro jumped up with joy.
Being able to participate in the Chunin Exams is a recognition of his hard work in recent days.
Nami was also very happy.
Suddenly, Nami asked, "Kakashi-sensei, is Genba also participating in the Chunin Exams?"
They believe.
Gen-ye's strength may have already surpassed that of Kakashi-sensei.
There shouldn't be an exam!
But Kakashi's next words caught them off guard: "To demonstrate impartiality, the Hokage requires Genba to also participate in the Chunin Exams!"
Xuan Ye was also slightly surprised.
But it doesn't matter.
his strength.
I want to pass the Chunin Exams.
It's a fairly simple thing.
Kakashi continued, "Nami, Taro, I will intensify your training during this time so that you can pass the exam on your first try and become Chunin in the village."
As for Gen-ye.
Kakashi felt he had nothing to teach the other person.
He had a gut feeling.
Xuan Ye's strength is probably already far beyond his own.
As a teacher, I feel a tiny bit ashamed...
Training is over.
Genba returned to the Uchiha clan.
He clearly noticed that the security here was much tighter.
No way.
Some time ago, Obito suddenly broke into the Uchiha Clan and even attacked Genba and the others.
From a safety perspective
Strengthening patrols and security is the right thing to do.
Genye rested his hands behind his head.
If there's a chance next time.
I'm determined to eliminate Obito, this unstable factor...

Genba's daily life is very simple.
It refers to cultivating and upgrading one's bloodline limit.
However, looking at the 10000 million energy points required for the Immortal Body to reach level 5 on the virtual screen, Xuan Ye was speechless.
Based on the current daily energy value of 10 points.
It will take three years.
Only then can the Immortal Body be upgraded to level 5.
