After all, the ninja academy is very large, so hiding a few ninjas is easy.
But no matter how many spectators there are, the results of this genin exchange will definitely spread throughout Konoha and Kirigakure.
Noon.
Kitazawa once again came to the Hokage's office to freeload a meal.
How are your students doing?
Tsunade shifted her position, making room for Kitazawa.
"They're all pretty good."
Kitazawa sat down next to her and said.
"The genin from Kirigakure have also arrived. I've reviewed their information, and Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu are among those worth noting."
Tsunade paused for a moment and said, "It's a best-of-five series, so losing one or two games to them isn't a big deal."
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.
Orochimaru hasn't captured Hozuki Suigetsu yet?
In the original work, Orochimaru became interested in Hozuki Suigetsu's water transformation technique and captured him to conduct experiments.
It wasn't until Sasuke Uchiha defected to Otogakure that Sasuke was rescued and formed a team called the Hawk with Karin and Jugo.
However, the specific time when Hozuki Suigetsu was arrested was not mentioned.
After a moment's thought, Kitazawa suddenly came up with a possible reason.
Orochimaru is most likely still within the Akatsuki organization at this point.
This matter is related to Kitazawa.
Because of him, Itachi Uchiha did not defect, and thus the incident in the original work where Orochimaru ambushed Itachi Uchiha and was instantly killed did not occur.
If Orochimaru hadn't been instantly killed, he wouldn't have become interested in the Mangekyou Sharingan, wouldn't have left the Akatsuki, and ultimately wouldn't have launched the Konoha Crush plan.
He is currently more concerned about Nagato's Rinnegan, so he has not left the Akatsuki organization for the time being and has not returned to Otogakure.
It doesn't matter.
Hozuki Suigetsu is too young now, only seven years old, just like Uchiha Sasuke.
He probably doesn't know many water-based techniques.
On the contrary, Chojuro should be stronger because he is two years older.
He was already known as a child prodigy in Kirigakure at a young age.
"Want to make a bet?"
Kitazawa turned to look at Tsunade's profile and asked.
Why the sudden bet?
Tsunade paused slightly, then asked in confusion, "What kind of bet?"
"It's a bet on whether we can win five games in a row."
Kitazawa replied, "Didn't you say you might lose one or two games? Then I'll bet on winning all of them."
"can."
Tsunade agreed after a moment's thought.
This bet is one where you don't lose money no matter whether you win or lose.
She won, no need to say more.
But she lost, and Konoha won five games in a row, so naturally they made a huge profit.
"Well."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "In that case, there will definitely be no more surprises."
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade glared at him with displeasure and asked, "Do you think I'm bound to lose?"
"So, do you want to win?"
Kitazawa countered with a question.
"..."
Tsunade finally realized that she had fallen into Kitazawa's trap.
She was very unhappy, but didn't know what to say.
"Have a meal!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth and changed the subject.
“You’re not pretty when you’re angry. Come on, open your mouth.”
Kitazawa picked up a piece of fried shrimp and brought it to her mouth.
"I'm not a little kid."
After saying that, Tsunade took a big bite of the fried shrimp.
But after finishing the meal, I realized that these were the chopsticks Kitazawa had used.
She glanced over instinctively.
"What's wrong? Do you still want me to feed you?"
Kitazawa blinked and asked.
"Need not."
Tsunade was silent for two seconds, then turned her head and continued eating.
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.
After the two finished their meal, they headed to the ninja academy.
"I suddenly thought of something."
Tsunade frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think Mei Terumi might give the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's swords to Chojuro and Suigetsu Hozuki ahead of schedule?"
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist possess seven ninja swords.
Raiden Kiba is in the hands of Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake.
The Greatsword Samehada is with Naruto Uzumaki.
The Broken Blade, the Executioner's Blade, was in the hands of Juzo Biwa, the sole survivor of the first Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
The remaining four swords are all in Kirigakure.
It was originally with Hozuki Suigetsu's older brother, Hozuki Mangetsu.
He possesses a summoning scroll for ninja swords, allowing him to summon all seven ninja swords. He is a renowned genius of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).
In the original work, he inherited the twin swords, Hiramekarei.
But he died young.
In other words, all four knives are now ownerless.
In the original work, Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu were the third batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the only two of them.
Because Kirigakure can no longer gather seven people.
Chojuro inherited the Twin Blades - Hiramekarei.
Hozuki Suigetsu inherited the broken sword, the Executioner's Blade.
But now the Broken Blade, the Executioner's Blade, is with Juzo Biwa, so even if he wants to inherit it, he'll have to get a different sword.
"It doesn't matter if they give it to me in advance."
Upon hearing this, Kitazawa casually remarked, "Naruto's Samehada and Sasuke's Thunder God Sword are no less formidable than them."
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded and said, "Let's leave the rest to luck."
If Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu are matched against Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Yakumo Kurama, they will inevitably lose.
If you draw Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga, you might be able to win if you're lucky and have the right ninja sword.
"I've always been lucky."
Kitazawa glanced at her but didn't say the words, "At least you're luckier than me."
He didn't want Mei Terumi and her group of Kirigakure ninja to see the Konoha Hokage chasing and attacking the Anbu leader in an explosion.
The genin exchange meeting was scheduled for 1 p.m.
Although it wasn't time yet, there were already quite a few people on the ninja academy's training ground.
In particular, the ninjas from Kirigakure had already arrived ahead of time.
"Lord Mizukage."
Ao walked up to Mei Terumi.
His white eye has been replaced with his original eye, but the injury has not yet healed, so his right eye is still covered by an eyepatch.
"Are Chojuro and Suigetsu familiar with their ninja swords?"
Mei Terumi asked.
Just as Tsunade had guessed, they gave the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's swords to Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu ahead of time.
“They are all top-notch geniuses in our Hidden Mist Village, and they mastered it very quickly.”
Ao sighed, "When they grow up, they'll definitely be able to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
"That's good."
Mei Terumi nodded and said, "With them here, our chances of winning this exchange are very high."
"We will definitely take it down."
Qing said with great confidence.
Have you inquired about the situation of those students?
Mei Terumi's gaze fell on the students in the genius class not far away.
"I sent someone to ask the villagers nearby."
Qing paused for a moment, then said, "They talked about two students the most."
They were the defeated side and dared not use ninja methods to investigate the students of the Konoha Ninja Academy.
If Konoha Village discovers this, it will cause trouble.
Moreover, their every move in Konoha Village was under surveillance.
So they simply asked the villagers of Konoha openly.
Which two?
Mei Terumi asked curiously.
"One of them is Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze."
Qing hesitated before saying, "He knows the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
"you sure?"
Mei Terumi paused for a moment, then said, "Even the Jonin Association doesn't have many people who can use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
"I suspect that Konoha Village gave them advance notice and set up a smokescreen for us."
Ao didn't believe that Naruto Uzumaki knew the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
It's impossible for a small child to have that much chakra.
"possible."
Terumi meditated on Nara Shikaku.
