Late at night, Hyōjin's home.
Holding a teacup, Hyōjin took a sip of tea while listening to Itachi's report leisurely.
Although he participated in the Chunin Exam as the Kirin of the Mist, he is only a candidate, and his grasp of the whole exam is very limited.
In order to control the situation in real time, he left a Shadow Clone to act as the Kirin of the Mist in the guest house where the candidates were temporarily staying, and he changed back to his Yin Release body.
"Senpai, today's Chunin Exam is roughly like this." After a pause, Itachi continued to report: "At present, the advisory elder group unanimously believes that Kimimaro of the Sound Ninja, Haku, Druid of the Cloud Village, Dedale of the Rock Village, Violet of the Sand Crypsis, and Kirin of the Mist Village are worthy of attention!"
Hyōjin nodded lightly.
These people who were selected by the advisory elder group are indeed the best of the candidates.
After hesitating for a moment, Itachi said: "In addition, I personally think that one of the candidates from the Grass Village is also worthy of the village's attention!"
Then, Itachi described the process of the Grass Ninja defeating Sasuke in detail and analyzed: "Although Sasuke was in a bad state at that time, and his Chakra was almost exhausted, but with the help of the Sharingan, even if he faced a Jonin, Sasuke should be able to barely resist a few moves, but the other party knocked down Sasuke with only one punch, which is very abnormal!"
Hyōjin took a sip of tea and listened quietly.
Itachi continued: "After the exam, I read the intelligence file of the Grass Ninja from the intelligence class, but the file shows that the other party is just a very ordinary Grass Ninja, which is obviously inconsistent with the facts."
Hyōjin smiled: "He is actually Orochi Maru in disguise."
"Orochi Maru?!" Slightly taken aback, Itachi frowned: "Then this time he disguised to participate in the Chunin Exam and attacked Sasuke, is it because he is targeting Sasuke?"
"Maybe."
Itachi hurriedly asked, "Senior, do you need me to get rid of him?"
Hyōjin waved his hand indifferently. "Just keep an eye on him. I don't think he would dare to act recklessly in the village."
Orochi Maru's actions in the Chunin Exam were actually a bit rash, but because there were too many candidates who performed well in the exam, no one noticed him for a while.
However, because it involved Sasuke, he still entered Itachi's vision.
Looking at Hyōjin's expression as if everything was under his control, Itachi secretly admired him. "Orochi Maru managed to hide from all of us, but he couldn't escape from your insight. Sure enough, everything is under your control!"
Subsequently, Itachi handed the list of the losses in the Forest of Death to Hyōjin and said, "Senior, this is the list of the losses that the village has calculated. Please take a look!"
After receiving the list, Hyōjin scanned through it and instinctively frowned. "One billion?! The losses are so big? "
Itachi nodded and said, "After that, I used six shadow clones to carefully verify every part of the Forest of Death. The data on this list is basically consistent with the facts."
Hyōjin glanced at Itachi with some surprise. "You've been busy for a whole day, and you still have the energy to verify this kind of thing?"
Itachi quickly replied, "Since I'm pretending to be you, Senior, I naturally have to do my job well. Otherwise, wouldn't it affect your reputation and plan?"
"You're really serious!"
Throwing the list in his hand on the table, Hyōjin leisurely raised his teacup again.
Although the loss of one billion was big, this account was counted on the village. Even if there was a headache, it should be a headache for the advisory elder group. It had nothing to do with him, the fifth generation Naruto, who had no financial power.
While drinking tea, Hyōjin asked with an indifferent attitude, "The destruction of the Forest of Death is the responsibility of the candidates in each village. The other villages should share some of the bill, right?"
Itachi told him about the attitude of the few shadows.
Hyōjin gloated. "Is that so? I'm afraid the Three Generations will have a headache!"
Itachi said, "Yes, the village's finances are tight. The Three Generations proposed to cancel all the salaries and subsidies for you and all the elders of the advisory elder group this year."
Hyōjin, who was drinking tea, was stunned. He asked, "You … You agreed?"
Itachi nodded. "Yes!"
A whole year's salary. Damn it!
Hyōjin's expression did not change, but he cursed in his heart.
Naruto's salary and subsidies for a year were not a small amount. It was basically equivalent to the salary of a jonin who took on missions all year round.
However, thinking that as long as he swept the third round of the exam, he would be able to get a generous reward that might exceed 100 million from the casino, his heart that was aching slightly felt better.
Seeing that Hyōjin's expression did not change, Itachi immediately thought to himself, As expected. Why would Senior care about that small amount of salary? It seems that I've really thought too much!
When Itachi analyzed why the Three Generations were suspicious of him, he also wondered if he had made a mistake in answering the question about the salary, which caused the Three Generations to be suspicious. However, now that he saw that Hyōjin did not care about the salary, he decided to give the Three Generations a positive answer.
Just as Hyōjin was still secretly unhappy about being tricked by the Three Generations, Itachi continued to say calmly, "The Three Generations also mentioned your 100 million. Considering that the Forest of Death is related to the village's defense, I gave the Three Generations a positive answer."
Pfft …
Hyōjin spat out a mouthful of tea.
Itachi hurriedly asked, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"Cough cough …" Waving his hand, Hyōjin coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. I accidentally choked!"
After giving a perfunctory reply, Hyōjin secretly groaned. He really did not expect the Three Generations to be so ruthless!
When he thought about how he not only had to contribute Naruto's salary and allowance, but he also had to spit out the 100 million that he had swallowed when he was Naruto, he immediately lost his composure. He quickly picked up the list of losses that he had casually thrown on the table and started to study it.
Itachi asked, "Senior, are you worried about the money?"
"Do you think I'm someone who cares about money?" Suddenly thinking of a good idea, Hyōjin smiled and immediately asked, "By the way, what level of Wood Escape can you perform now?"
Itachi thought about it and said, "Although the adaptation period has passed and my ocular power has recovered, the development of Wood Escape is still not very smooth. At the moment, I can only drive wooden piles. However, Brother Zhishui's development of Wood Escape is better than Shinichi and I. He can already perform some of the more complicated Wood Escape now!"
"Is that so …"
Hyōjin touched his chin.
He suddenly felt that rebuilding the Forest of Death might not be a loss-making business. Anyway, he had a few Wood Escape ninjas under him. It would be a waste not to use them. If he really contracted the project, he might even be able to earn a sum of money …
