Later, when Yan Liu suffered a crushing defeat and even tried his best but couldn't hurt Shuimu at all, people couldn't help but pay attention to this guy who was gradually emerging.

After having a target to be wary of, the Hidden Mist Village collected a lot of intelligence in a targeted manner. When this information was summarized, a figure hidden in the shadows behind a large number of famous ninjas in Konoha gradually became clear.

"Such a powerful ninja appeared without making any noise. Konoha is really favored by this world. There are so many talented ninjas emerging in this world!"

Even without Yan Liu's reminder, Mei Terumi noticed this previously inconspicuous Konoha jonin.

Most of the famous ninjas in the ninja world are geniuses with remarkable achievements or born into famous families. They are the focus of the ninja world, and as long as they are strong enough, they will soon be known to others.

Although Hatake Kakashi was born in a declining ninja clan of Konoha, his father is the famous Konoha White Fang. If it weren't for some accidental suicide, there might be no chance for Minato Namikaze to be the Fourth Hokage. With strong strength, fame at a young age, and a highly recognizable Sharingan, it is hard not to be noticed.

Might Guy, the "Rare Beast of Konoha", earned his reputation through fighting one tough battle after another. Asuma Sarutobi is the son of the Third Hokage and the guardian ninja of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Among ninjas, he is a truly noble man of prominent birth.

As for Mizuki, stop joking. He has no background and no achievements... No, he has some achievements, but they are not the kind that are widely circulated. In the battle on the sea of ​​the Land of Water, Hatake Kakashi overshadowed Mizuki. In the battle with the Akatsuki organization for the One-tail Jinchuriki, Konoha had no time to build momentum for Mizuki, a civilian ninja. As for the Iwagakure and Sand Villages, which had lost face, they would not let the family scandal spread to increase the reputation of ninjas from other villages. Although they did not deliberately block it, they all tacitly agreed not to spread it, so that Mizuki's most outstanding battle was only circulated among the parties involved. The Land of Water was naturally not a part of it. It was not until Mizuki easily defeated Yanliu that Mei Terumi realized the need to pay special attention to this ninja.

Mei Terumi looked up at the gloomy weather after walking out of the prison, feeling helpless. She was overwhelmed by all kinds of obstacles in the Hidden Mist Village. Seeing the endless emergence of masters in Konoha Village, even if they were allies, she felt a little uneasy. Allies with too much difference in strength will sooner or later become vassals of the strong.

"In Tsunade's mind, Mizuki alone could handle Yanliu and a standard combat team... no, there's also the messenger from the Hidden Rock Village. And she actually guessed it right. I really can't accept it!"

As the female leader of one of the five major ninja villages who was also appointed in a time of crisis, Tsunade has much stronger cards to play than herself.

"Sword, we must do something in this Chunin Exam." Mei Terumi suddenly said with determination in her heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible guard, the captain of the Anbu, "Sword", appeared and said, "Please give your orders."

"The Genin of the Kirigakure must appear in the third round of the Chunin Exam, so we need at least one strong elite Genin team. We must let outsiders know that even though the Kirigakure is now in decline, it is still one of the five great ninja villages!"

…

Before Mizuki left the Takigakure, he met its leader Feimo again. This time it was not a one-on-one meeting. In the presence of three or four older ninjas, Mizuki took the Chunin Exam application form from Feimo.

Mizuki flipped through the list and realized that Jinchuriki Fu was still on the list.

"Can I meet the candidates from your village? There was an impersonation incident during the last Chunin Exam, causing Konoha to suffer a lot of losses. It would be great if we could verify the candidates' information in advance."

"Okay." Feimo nodded in agreement. Shuimu's reason was reasonable.

Soon, a total of nine candidates, including Fu, appeared in front of Mizuki. Mizuki took the information and pretended to compare it. Only when he saw the two teammates of Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, did he take a closer look.

"Your name is Toki? Your name is Kun? You look older than the others!"

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm not strong enough and have not been promoted to Chunin. I hope I can make a breakthrough in the Chunin Exam this time."

"Oh, then work hard."

Shuimu nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing that Shuimu was no longer paying attention, Feimo, who felt a little guilty, also felt relieved.

"I finally got through the first round."

Mizuki was too lazy to care about the thoughts of the people in Takigakure. After a hasty check, he collected the information of the candidates who applied for the Chunin Exam.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Chief Feimo. It saved me a lot of effort!"

"You are welcome!"

Feimo waved his hand and asked the candidates from Takinin Village to retreat.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days..."

Ninja's job is one that requires great efficiency. I won't say any more polite words, as I have a pregnant wife waiting for me at home!

…

In Konoha Village, Tsunade looked at the ninja registration information in front of her with a headache. Most of the arrangements for the Chunin Exam were on track, and the only troublesome thing was the selection of the chief examiner. Konoha was full of talents, so it was not difficult to choose the right person.

Unfortunately, the most satisfactory Morino Ibiki had already served as the chief examiner last time. If he appeared again this time, there would only be half a year. Many candidates were Genin who were eliminated last time and were likely to continue to participate this time. Knowing Morino Ibiki's assessment style, they had a much greater advantage than other candidates who were taking the Chunin Exam for the first time. Such a huge unfairness is absolutely inappropriate for the Chunin Exam.

There are other candidates, such as Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi, who are fully qualified, but they are overqualified. There will definitely be other important tasks for them to do. Therefore, powerful jonin, including Mizuki, Hatake Kakashi, and Sarutobi Asuma, are basically not considered. In addition, because the students they lead have to take exams, they also need to avoid suspicion.

As for the examiner of the first round, Nara Shikamaru should be able to do the job with his ability. However, it doesn't seem appropriate for him to become the examiner instead of being a candidate half a year ago. Therefore, it is best to choose from a group of special jonin. There are still many candidates, such as Yamashiro Aoba, Ebisu, Bishi Reito, etc. Although they are slightly inferior to Morino Ibiki, they are good enough.

The third match is more important for the scene, so there is no need to worry too much. The key is the second match of the Death Forest, this time we need a capable person to take charge of the overall situation...
