Chapter 266 - Chapter 266 Prelude to the Chunin Exam

Monitoring satellites are indeed important, but the research on White Zetsu is even more crucial.

Many years have passed, and the research on White Zetsu still hasn't met Yuuki's requirements.

It's not that Kabuto's skill level is too low; to be honest, if it were simple transplantation, he could already achieve Tsuchiko-ge's level.

In some aspects, he's even stronger. Kabuto can completely erase the will of the White Zetsu while retaining its function.

Yuuki, who was increasingly like a villain without realizing it, looked down on the simple and crude transplantation method that obviously changed one's appearance and exuded a villainous aura.

"While this is important, the most urgent task right now is to accelerate the research on White Zetsu. Otherwise, Izumi's Mangekyo won't last much longer."

After briefly comforting the other researchers, Yuuki, before leaving, reminded Kabuto again of the focus of his upcoming work.

Kabuto habitually adjusted his glasses, nodded, and said, "I understand, sir. I've also been teaching Izumi about biology recently."

"Good, then I'll leave it to you, Kabuto!"

After giving his instructions, Yuuki checked the time.

Hmm, it's not long until quitting time. I'll just head back.

The unexpected incidents caused by Senju Tobirama's intrusion had mostly been dealt with.

At least for Yuuki, this was the case; the remaining matters would naturally be completed by others.

The superiors worry, and the subordinates exert effort, after all.

--------------

Konoha was peaceful, and the Ninja World was in a state of tranquility for a week.

All Ninja Villages in this Ninja World subsequently received invitation notices from Yuuki.

After spending two mornings roughly planning the Chunin Exams, Yuuki sent invitations to all Ninja Villages, big and small, throughout the Ninja World.

As Ninja Villages varied in size, the content of the invitation notices naturally differed.

For smaller Ninja Villages, even after being polished by Shikaku and others, the invitations were still quite forceful.

They were called invitations, but in reality, they were commands and threats.

Based on Konoha's existing intelligence, the notices stipulated how many Genin each Ninja Village must send to participate in the Joint Chunin Exams hosted by Konoha.

The leaders of those smaller Ninja Villages, one by one, dared not speak their anger and all expressed that they would send their Ninja teams to participate on time.

Among the smaller Ninja Villages, there were also 'big bad wolves.'

For example, Otogakure.

Looking at the invitation notice delivered by the Otogakure leader, Orochimaru pondered for a moment before deciding to have Otogakure send Genin to participate as requested.

As for whether he would visit Konoha himself at that time, Orochimaru couldn't decide yet.

He would see how his new 'account' was leveling up. During this time, Orochimaru had focused most of his energy on the newly acquired Madara.

Of the original three top-tier 'accounts', Senju Tobirama was offline, and further Edo Tensei attempts yielded no response.

Senju Hashirama, although he could be reanimated, would dissipate uncontrollably every time he was awakened. After learning that Konoha still existed, Senju Hashirama completely lost any attachment to Impure World and was determined to stay in the Pure Land, causing Orochimaru to lose a max-level 'account'.

Only Ai could still be used normally; Orochimaru easily dealt with the Amaterasu on his chest.

Because of Yuuki's presence in Konoha, Orochimaru was not very keen on wandering around when he wasn't confident.

This was roughly the situation with Otogakure.

Besides that, another 'big bad wolf' was Hidden Rain Village.

Nagato also received an invitation, although it was addressed to "To Hanzo, Leader of Hidden Rain Village."

As the most powerful Ninja Village outside the Five Great Ninja Villages, Konoha's invitation was relatively polite, but it still reeked of the arrogance of a great Ninja Village.

After fighting the low-spec version of Senju Hashirama and finding him to be nothing special, Nagato's chuunibyou tendencies intensified sharply.

Coupled with the fact that Nagato's parents died at the hands of Konoha Ninja, after reading the invitation, a strange urge to 'carry rice' in Konoha arose in Nagato's heart.

After a long time, for the sake of true peace in the Ninja World, Nagato held back.

The Tailed Beast capture plan hadn't started yet; it wasn't the time to expose Hidden Rain Village. It would also be good to take the opportunity to gather intelligence on Konoha.

Similar to how Hidden Rain Village had become a forbidden zone for other spies in the Ninja World, Konoha had long ago become a forbidden zone for White Zetsu.

Nagato, unaware of the truth, wanting to use this opportunity to gather intelligence on Konoha, thus became logical.

In the end, he still agreed to Konoha's request and sent a Ninja team to participate in this Joint Chunin Exams.

The rest were the great nations.

Aside from the close relationship with Hidden Mist Village, the invitations to the other three great Ninja Villages were full of provocation.

The message, inside and out, was one: those who dared not participate in this Chunin Exams were too weak and afraid to lose.

It was an extremely simple and blatant taunt; no one failed to understand it.

Whether it was Rasa, Ōnoki, or Darui, they all could see Yuuki's intention to shift the Ninja World's attention away from Hiruzen Sarutobi's defection.

The Joint Chunin Exams were not held for the first time in the Ninja World; everyone knew their role in enhancing a Ninja Village's prestige.

Not only Konoha, but Sunagakure and Kumogakure also had the need to demonstrate their continued strength, and after consideration, they agreed.

Mei Terumī, on the other hand, agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Ōnoki, who had been indecisive, also replied to Yuuki very decisively after seeing that the other Four Great Shinobi Villages were participating.

He could agree, but there had to be conditions!
