In addition to the function of absorbing chakra, the dungeon hall also has the effect of transforming the alien chakra into one's own use similar to the gossip seal. With this earth escape enchantment, it is impossible to steal the tailed beast chakra.

You Zilai was also watching, Mizuki really couldn't find a chance to start.

After completing the task without any risk, Mizuki and Jiraiya said hello and returned to Konoha Village in an instant.

It was a bit of a hassle when we came, and it took a blink of an eye to go back.

After feeling the chakra in the body, the situation is still good, and Naruto, who suppressed the tailed beast, borrowed the power of the other party.

The psychic out of the triple Rashomon has little effect on Mizuki, and the spiral shuriken does not need to be concerned.

"The country of soup is still too far away, it is more expensive than returning from the country of wind."

Mizuki groaned and walked into the gate of the Security Department.

"Uh, Deputy Minister Mizuki, are you back?"

"It's you, have something to do with me?"

The visitor's head was wrapped in a thick bandage, covering his eyes, and with the forehead shield, he didn't understand that this guy could still see his eyes.

This Chunin, named Flying Bamboo Dragonfly, is actually a little older than Mizuki.

"Guangzi Tie and Izumo Shenyue, who guard the gate, are always complaining. Deputy Minister Mizuki often passes the gate without a record of entry and exit, which makes them a little embarrassed. So occasionally, I will ask colleagues who stop by to see if you are back. This time I will Just in time to go out, come and have a look!"

"Really! Then please tell me that things are a little urgent recently, so I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it later."

"Then I won't bother you."

Watching Feizhu and Dragonfly leave, Shuimu pushed the door and walked into the office.

"The inspection of the gates has been strengthened, and it seems that the internal alert level has been raised. 』

A few months ago, Shuimu often came and went at will, but no one checked whether he was in the village or not.

Even if it's just a routine, there should be no shortage of procedures. I used to ignore it because I didn't pay attention. Now it seems that it is really going to slowly shift to the rhythm of wartime.

Mizuki picked up the paper and pen on the desk, scribbled down the mission report, and after a while, he went to the Hokage office and gave it to Tsunade.

The mission this time is very simple, it is just a trip, as long as it is handled properly, a nine tails that have been cut in half, and most of their power is sealed, so they can't make waves.

"It's fine!"

Tsunade nodded,

"Jilai also asked about anything special?"

"what?"

Mizuki casually perfunctory.

"Nevermind!"

Originally, it was a well-known thing, and Jirai had no temperament. Tsunade knew better than Mizuki, and some things didn't need to be made too clear.

"Jilai also said when will you be back?"

"I should be able to come back in the middle of next year, before the Chunin exam."

"Understood, you go down first!"

There are a lot of things going on in the village now, but there are not so many tasks that require a powerful Shangin.

In peacetime, transactional work far exceeds the task of fighting. The ninja struggling with the mountains and the sea of ​​literature is more tiring than the fighting ninjas on the front line. Tsunade is the one who has the deepest experience.

...

In the Land of Wind, the second Chunin exam, the first day was calm in the sand and dust that suddenly rose in the evening, and many genin hid in a safe place to rest and wait for tomorrow to fight again.

Unlike the Chunin Exam held in Konoha, the Forest of Death can barely balance all parties and ensure at least fairness. There are no such conditions in Shayin Village. In the vast sea, there are desert flowers that emit hallucinogenic gas, mutant cactus that can shoot poisonous needles, etc., and the first day of the participating candidates suffers heavy losses, and the strength is not enough. Indigenous people are frequently recruited, not to mention the foreigners who are not familiar with this place.

Non-combat attrition became the main reason for candidates to be eliminated.

Outside the examination room, Sarubi Asma, who had waited for a long time, couldn't bear it any longer, and took out a cigarette and lit it.

After patrolling for a day, nothing abnormal was found, and a few Shangnin were a little slack.

"None of the unexpected situations that Tsunade-sama brought our attention to have happened."

"Peace is good, Asma, don't complain! Also, stop smoking!"

"Well, just smoke one!"

The bearded man who is addicted to smoking can't stand it when he has nothing to do.

Looking at the bad weather outside, Matekai said helplessly:

"It looks like it will last two or three days. It's better for us to take turns on duty."

After some negotiation, Sarutobi Asma and Matekai were in charge of the first night.

Hong Yuhi was the first to leave, and soon after Asma Sarutobi also withdrew, leaving only Matekai to stay strong.

Under the cover of the night, a few sneaky figures jumped over the separation wall outside the examination room. Matekai, who was not very sensitive in Chakra's perception, looked suspiciously at the dimly lit night, the moonlight and starlight in the sand and dust. The weather was extremely dim, and from a little further away, it was impossible to see clearly during the day, let alone at night.

"A hallucination? 』

The doubtful Matekai looked around and found no suspicious signs, and finally had to give up.

Several ninjas who were masked in black scarves and could not see their belongings wandered ghostly in the dust.

The Devil's Desert - the location of this Chunin exam, the famous ferocious place in the Land of Winds.

The reason why the Devil's Desert, which is regarded as a dreadful way, is rarely inhabited, is because it is the place where the climate of the Land of Winds changes the most, especially in summer, when the temperature changes greatly in the morning and evening, inexplicable sandstorms often occur.

What's even more unbearable is that there are always so many times a year that because of the extremely strong convective weather, the super-powerful sandstorms that roll past, only the powerful Junin can barely pass through it.

As for the candidates for the Chunin Exam, only a handful of them can survive inside.

Gaara's foothold is not stable, and if there is an accident that causes a large number of deaths due to an accident in the Chunin Exam, it will not be easy to explain.

Without the monk Fayi who can seal the one-tailed guardian crane, it is impossible to directly arrange the assassination of Gaara. Therefore, attacking Gaara's reputation and making him unrecognizable has become the next target.

"Is this really good? When this kind of accident happens, it's not just that person who has suffered, but the whole village will be unlucky!"

In such a grand event as the Chunin Exam, if there is a problem, it is not a trivial matter, and Konoha is a lesson from the past.

"What's the use of talking about these now, the big sandstorm is about to come, the long-distance perception barrier of the headquarters has been disturbed, and it is too late to stop now. When this place was selected as the place for the Chunin exam a few months ago, It has already been arranged, and there is no room for loss.”

There is still a lot of market for the idea of ​​pacifying the outside world first, and it is inevitable for a few people to do something out of place in disregard of the interests of the whole.
