Chapter 24: Chunin, let’s go to the front line.

The duel between Minato and Inoichi was somewhat interesting, and was one of the more high-quality matches in the Chunin Exams.

After all, generally speaking, most of the ninjas who take the Chunin Exam use kunai to fight, and ninjutsu is rarely seen. For details, please refer to Haruno Sakura. There are even many people who are not as good as Haruno Sakura.

Moreover, for a normal Genin, releasing one C-level ninjutsu would almost use up all the chakra. Those who can release ninjutsu continuously are all talented.

The match between Minato and Haiyi is over, and next is Choza, whose opponent is similar to Zhang Shan's opponent and he finishes the fight easily.

The competition ended quickly, and the third generation asked everyone to go back and wait for news, the results would be out tomorrow.

When everyone followed the jonin and left the Forest of Death, the moon was already high in the sky.

"Go home, go home! See you all tomorrow!" Zhang Shan waved to a few people and was the first to leave.

After that Minato also said goodbye. He wanted to go back and study the Spiral Dance he used today. He always felt that this move still had a lot of room for improvement.

Zhiwei and Ding Zuo also left one after another. Ding Zuo shouted that he wanted to go back to pay respect to his internal organs. He was exhausted these past few days.
Hokage's office.

"Huruzen! Leave Zhang Shan to me! I promise to train him into a perfect ninja!" Danzo held Zhang Shan's information, looking determined to get him.

"No, I have already decided on Zhang Shan's teacher." The Third Hokage shook his head and rejected Danzo.

"Teacher? Jiraiya? We don't know where that guy is right now, what do you want him to teach Zhang Shan! And Minato! They are all good seedlings, and you actually gave them to that idiot Jiraiya!?" Danzo exploded!

Jiraiya was indeed brilliant before, and he recognized Jiraiya from the bottom of his heart, but there has been no news about that kid since he went out. If Tsunade and Orochimaru had not confirmed that Jiraiya was still alive, Danzo would have engraved Jiraiya's name on Konoha's hero monument to commemorate him!
Now that a good seedling has been discovered, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually lets him go. What a waste of talent!
"Danzo, that child is not suitable for you." The Third Hokage sighed. Being able to become Hokage, he sees things more comprehensively than Danzo.

According to his observation, Zhang Shan was not interested in power and spent all his time studying ninjutsu. Moreover, after coming into contact with the sealing technique some time ago, he completely devoted himself to it.

Such a talent is obviously not suitable for the dark places like the Root organization. Moreover, he wants Zhang Shan to assist Minato, but it is not a relationship like his and Danzo, one open and one secret, but a real relationship between a general and a sharp sword.

The most important point is that he does not intend to let Danzo continue to develop the Root organization.

Ten years ago, the elders in the city asked Danzo to establish the Root organization because the Second Hokage died outside. Now they came back and said that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Third Hokage chosen by the Second Hokage, and wanted him to take the position?

The other ninja clans would never agree.

That's why Hiruzen divided up the power of the Hokage and set up more departments, thus stabilizing Konoha.

But now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has firmly established himself as the Hokage, and has even begun to train the next generation of Hokage successors. At this time, the Elders and the Root Organization seem a bit of an eyesore.

If these two forces were allowed to restrain the new Hokage, then he, the previous Hokage, would not have the face to meet the first and second Hokage.

In the office, Danzo gritted his teeth, while the Third Generation remained calm. In the end, it was Danzo who chose to give up.

"Don't worry Hiruzen, I won't be a hindrance to the seedlings!"

After leaving a few words, Danzo turned and left, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen behind with a look of wanting to say something but hesitating.

The next day.

Zhang Shan received a notice to go to the Hokage. As expected, all members of Zhang Shan's team were successfully promoted to Chunin. After receiving the Chunin vest, they also received the mission.

"You will escort a batch of supplies to the front line of the Wind Country. When you get there, hand this over to Tsunade, and then you will follow Tsunade's orders."

Taking the scroll from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Zhang Shan left Konoha for the second time.

But compared to last time, this time may be more dangerous.

Because after completing the escort mission, they still have to stay on the front line, and they don’t know what other tasks they will be assigned.

Of course, this is not a dangerous thing for Zhang Shan now.

A group of four followed the convoy and left Konoha.

The items being escorted this time include three trucks of weapons. I don’t know what the third generation was thinking. How could he let a few newcomers transport such important things?
It was drizzling and the jungle was covered with a light mist.

Zhang Shan and his companions were walking on the path, each of them looking alert.

"Why don't you go to the mainland this time?" Zhang Shan was very puzzled.

"Generally speaking, taking the small road will be more concealed. Even if someone comes to ambush us halfway, there won't be too many of them because they are not sure which road we are taking. Also, the roads here are narrow and there are not many places to hide. It would be difficult for the other party to ambush us here," Minato explained.

Are there so many tricks?
Zhang Shan said that he had learned something new, but it seemed to be of no use.

The drizzle made the ground muddy, making it difficult for the carriage to move forward.

At this time they were already some distance away from Konoha. If the other party sent people to attack them, this would be a very good position!

Minato subconsciously clenched the hand holding the kunai and completely released his perception. Once he discovered something, he would be able to react immediately.

Fortunately, they seemed to have good luck and passed the narrow path safely.

At this time, the uncle in charge of driving the car smiled and said, "Don't worry, guys, this is the territory of the Land of Fire. Those guys from the Land of Wind can't break through Lady Tsunade's defenses and enter the Land of Fire!"

After listening to the uncle's words, the others relaxed a little. Minato smiled and replied, "Yes, Lady Tsunade is a very reliable person!"

Because of Kushina, Minato and Tsunade had met a few times, but only a few times. When Tsunade was not on a mission, she was basically in the casino and rarely appeared at home.

Zhang Shan opened his observation Haki and took in the surrounding situation.

Just like the uncle said, there is no danger. I guess it's just like they said, the opponent can't get past Tsunade's defense line and get to the rear.

"The current Konoha soldiers are strong and powerful. Not only do they have the three ninjas who can fight against Hanzo, but they also have Kage-level warriors like Hatake White Fang. I'm afraid the Sand Village doesn't want to fight anymore, right?" Zhang Shan thought, "By the way, it seems that Tsunade's brother died in the past two years. Do you want to save him?"

If it was before he bumped fists with Zhang Shan in a white coat, Zhang Shan would never think about meddling in other people's affairs. After all, it was difficult for him to survive on the battlefield, let alone save others.

But now, Zhang Shan has the strength to look down on the world, and many regrets can be made up for.
