Hokage’s Strongest Insect Master

Seeing serious Zhizhen, Third Generation showed a comforting look. This kid will definitely become Konoha's pillar in the future.

"Okay, things are almost done. You can go back and rest." Third Generation said, waving gently, the barrier in the office suddenly disappeared.

"Yes." Zhizhen looked at Third Generation, opened his mouth, but did not say anything after all.

He wanted to tell Third Generation that Orochimaru was coming to attack Konoha in July, but he couldn't speak.

Unlike two months ago, Zhizhen now really wants to save Third Generation's life.

In desperation, Zhizhen clenched a fist secretly, turned and left Third Generation's office.

Looking at Zhizhen’s back, Third Generation reduced the smile on his face and muttered to himself: “Catch Jinchūriki? Then it’s time to call that guy back, um...it’s the Chūnin exam in more than a month, yes. He will be much safer in Konoha..."

Third Generation thought for a while, took out a new scroll, and wrote a letter.

After leaving the office, Zaemon and Uemon immediately responded. Zaemon asked, "Sama Shima, are you finished?"

"Yeah." Zhizhen responded softly.

"Then let's leave." After that, the two were about to turn around and leave.

Zhizhen glanced at the two of them in surprise, and asked, "You are not curious about what I said to Master Hokage?"

Uemon Tsundere snorted and said, "As for what we should know, Master Hokage will naturally tell us. Since he doesn't say it, we won't ask."

"Quality." Zhizhen praised him, and he was probably very curious.

After a pause, Uemon glanced at Shijin and told the truth: "And, if you could, you would have told us."

Shizhen was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and nodded. He also wondered if Zaemon and Uemon would feel alienated due to this. I thought I was hiding from them.

When I look at it now, it's obvious that he thinks too much: "It's good if you can think like this. This matter is not yet public, so I can't say it yet."

"Since you can't say it, don't say it. When it's time to say it, tell us again." Uemon said calmly.

As a person who grew up in Anbu, Uemon knows how to be a qualified ninja.

Uemon, who is so temperamental, didn't take this matter to his heart, and Zaemon, who has always been steady and mature, didn't even care. He smiled and asked, "Shima-sama, what are your plans next?"

"I'm going to visit the Hui nationality. I promised Aunt Qianzi that I will go back to eat today." After that, Zhizhen checked the time and it was eleven o'clock. Before he knew it, he talked to Third Generation. Three hours.

It just so happens that I am walking towards home now, and it's just time for dinner when I get home.

To compensate for Zaemon and Uemon who waited for him outside for three hours, Shizhen also invited them to the Hui clan.

Naturally, the two of them shied away, and it was not convenient for them to enter a private place like the Aburame clan.

In desperation, Shima had to go back alone, and Zaemon and Uemon went home first.

The land of the Aburame clan has not changed much from two months ago, and it is still beautiful and clean.

It's just that it's still early, there are no people in the clan, all the adults go to work, and all the children go to school.

Only some old people were left in the clan. When they saw Zhizhen, they smiled and said hello, and Zhizhen responded one by one.

After returning home, Qianzi was already waiting eagerly. What is rare is that Zhiwei and Shino are also at home.

Today the father and son took leave on purpose and ran home to have lunch with Zhizhen.

This moved Zhizhen's heart again.

The lunch was still plentiful, Zhizhen had a nice meal with his family, and chatted a lot with Zhiwei and Zhino, and the atmosphere was warm.

After the meal, Zhizhen stood in the yard, blowing the wind, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.

Thinking of the next major event, Konoha Chūnin's exam will begin in more than a month.

But this exam has nothing to do with him, and the Chūnin exam is not the point, the point is Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan.

Thinking of this, Zhizhen couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

As a BOSS, Orochimaru is obviously at the same level as Kakuzu, which is very difficult to deal with.

But fortunately this time, he is not the main force. Third Generation and those elite Jōnin are the backbone of this time.

Orochimaru, naturally they have to deal with it.

And what he has to do is to minimize Konoha's loss as much as possible. Zhizhen has already set a good position for the next major event, which is to support.

Asking him to fight Orochimaru in the ring is obviously impossible.

Therefore, Shima is prepared to set the main target on Otonin Village’s army and Orochimaru’s subordinates, so that Third Generation and Kakashi can deal with Orochimaru without any worries.

Recalling the original book, the reason why Third Generation died in this battle was that the decline in strength due to old age was one reason, but the most important thing was that Third Generation fought alone.

The strength of the four Otonin people is extraordinary. When they fought Third Generation and Orochimaru, they worked together to set up an enchantment called the Four Purple Flame Array, which locked the Third Generation inside.

This enchantment is so hard that even the Third Generation cannot break it from the inside, and people outside cannot force it into it.

As for the Anbu of Third Generation, the water of strength, in front of the Otonin group, there is no way to fight back.

Kakashi, Asuma, Guy and others were caught by Kabuto and Orochimaru's forces, and they were temporarily unable to support them.

This allowed Third Generation to die.

In other words, as long as everyone supports in time, Third Generation will never die.

Yes, it is like that!

At this time, Third Generation gave him a good rest. Zhizhen intends to practice hard. Even if he vomits blood, he has to improve his strength to deal with the four not-so-weak opponents of Yinnin!

However, Zhizhen's idea is very good, but it is of no use.

He didn't know that Third Generation had already placed the burden of Chūnin's exam on him.

Just as Zhizhen was pondering, Shino's voice rang: "Brother Zhizhen, what are you thinking?"

Zhizhen looked back when he heard the words, without concealing it, and said, "It's nothing, Chūnin's exam."

"Hmm..." Shino nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Seeing him like this, Zhizhen didn't know what he was thinking, and asked knowingly, "Why, do you want to participate this time?"

"Yeah." Shino nodded and said, "Ms. Hong mentioned it to us once. Although he didn't expressly want us to participate, I can see that the teacher has this idea."

"Two months after graduation, I am ready to let you take the exam. It seems that your strength has grown very rapidly." Zhizhen deliberately said.

To be honest, in the original book, the Twelve Xiaoqiang except for the third class, the other three classes are all just graduated Genin, Kakashi, Asuma, and red. These three Jōnin are so fascinated and confident that they dare to take the Chūnin exam. I don’t know. They thought it was because they were too slow to die.

Yes, compared to the average Genin, these nine people are considered to be relatively high-level.

But the correct way, Zhizhen thinks, like Guy, is the safest way to take the disciples to practice for a year before participating.

But he thinks it's useless, Kakashi and Asuma and Hong are just so obsessed with confidence.

Looking at the current situation, Twelve Xiaoqiang took the Chūnin exam, and it seemed that there was no change.

Shino nodded and said, "Although his strength has increased, I heard that there are many strong players in Genin in other villages. I am a little worried about Hinata and Ya."

Hearing this, Zhijin almost laughed. He thought that Zhino was a little unconfident, because he was not confident about Ya and Hinata.

But also, Shino's current strength is above his two teammates.

"What about you?" Zhizhen asked with a smile, "Don't you worry about yourself?"

"If I participate, I will definitely get Chūnin's place." Shino said calmly, neither pretending to be force nor conceited, as if to say a simple fact.
