To avoid the ubiquitous sandstorm, digging a hole and hiding underground is a very effective method, and many Genin candidates do this.

"We are here only to conduct necessary investigations. The examination process and results are irrelevant."

Before leaving, his only superior Danzo Shimura gave these instructions. Unlike the way he treated other subordinates, these three people were the few ninjas in the "Root" organization who retained the ability to think independently.

A, the leader, analyzed the situation calmly.

"Now it seems that other changes have occurred. First of all, we must ensure our own safety; secondly, we must prevent any incidents that endanger Konoha from happening."

Disrupting the Chunin Exam held in the Demon Desert is an obvious malicious act against the Sand Village, which has the support of Konoha Village, and these people can be classified as enemies.

"There are no more than ten of them, and their strength is average. We can still control them. We need to find out what they want to do first!"

These suspicious individuals, whose strength was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary Chunins, had not yet begun to hunt, but another group of more terrifying characters had already set their sights on them.

…

Those in power often don't mind arranging some scattered chess pieces. It would be best if they can play a role, but it doesn't matter if they don't. This is the case with Uchiha Obito, Shimura Danzo, and Mizuki is no exception. Otherwise, Yukimura and Takuma would not have been born.

The murderous intent is spreading in the hazy sand and fog. The opponents of the Fifth Kazekage Gaara are still waiting for the moment of final action. The hunt against them has already begun. With the cooperation of the Sharingan and the Super Beast Fake Painting, and the strength of the three of them, the several Sand Ninjas who were pushed out as pawns have basically no ability to resist.

Jia's use of the Sharingan is not very skillful, and his control is not strong, but the basic power of the Three-magatama Sharingan can still be exerted. In the face of illusions amplified by the Sharingan, some resistance is futile, and all the secrets will be tortured out in a short while.

The changes in the night soon caught Jue's attention.

"Something is wrong, Obito, it seems someone is targeting us."

Those useless people are good at killing Genin, but when they meet a real master, they may not be able to match him.

"Have our actions been exposed? It doesn't seem to be the case..."

Jue did not feel that there was any special action from the Sand Village. Neither the alert Fu Yi nor the Kazekage forces who were on high alert had any special reaction, and the interference with the long-distance perception barrier did not stop.

"Besides us, there may be other guys with ulterior motives in the Demon Desert."

No matter how strong the candidates for the Chunin Exam are, there are limits to their abilities. The Chunin Exams held by Konoha in the past two years, in which even the Chunins were trembling with fear, were just exceptions. This time, in the Chunin Exams held by the Sand Village, there was no news of any characters worth looking forward to. Even the Rain Village sent two teams to scout the way and to gather information about the Jinchūriki.

"It's too noisy. Fighting recklessly at this time will only attract attention. If someone checks, they will find something unusual sooner or later."

Without the chaos caused by the arrival of the super powerful sandstorm, this place is still under the control of the Sand Ninjas. You know, this is an examination hall for the Chunin Exam after all, and there must be many examiners observing the performance of these Genin, which serves as an important evaluation basis for this Chunin Exam.

Not far away, there were three Konoha jonin on standby at the outskirts of the Demon Desert, and there were also many elite Sand ninjas in the center of the desert who were maintaining order in the examination room and preventing accidents.

"I know. Let's go over and take a look. I'm afraid the first goal cannot be achieved, but it would be good if an unexpected big fish bites the hook. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Sensing the direction of the incident, Uchiha Obito and Jue continued to move closer to the target.

Sai laid the subdued enemy on the ground and carefully checked his identity.

"Another Sand Ninja. Judging from the evidence on him, it doesn't look like a disguise."

"knew."

A lowered his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly.

"One person might be a coincidence, but if several people have the same news, it means they really want to target the candidates in the Demon Desert. And there is also the upcoming sandstorm..."

There is insufficient intelligence to determine what their ultimate goal is, but this is clearly an internal conflict within the Sand Village, and the target is the new Kazekage, Gaara.

“Stop them!”

Although he was unable to judge the attitude of Konoha's high-level officials due to his low status, Jia had once assassinated Fayi, and these people were in cahoots with Fayi!

The companions of the enemy whom Danzo Shimura wanted to assassinate were naturally not welcomed by Konoha, so it would not be a bad idea to stop their actions.

"Do you want to kill them?"

Jia shook his head. After all, they were on someone else's territory. They could be casual about provoking Konoha, but it seemed a bit bad to kill people at will. After all, they were still allies.

Just as Jia was taking Sai and Nobu to the next target, two mysterious figures came towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"careful!"

Unlike those people just now, the arrival of these two people brought a sense of crisis that made the three of them dare not be careless.

Before the figure arrived, a huge fireball was already flying towards them. The fire was driven by the wind, becoming even more powerful, forcing the three people to retreat quickly.

Fortunately, the three of them cooperated well. Sai formed seals with his hands and chakra surged. The area where the two had originally passed suddenly exploded. The ink animals that were originally used as warnings and simulated by the fake paintings of super beasts exploded one after another, covering the two of them. Shin was not to be outdone. He fired the kunai tied with detonating tags. The continuous physical attacks and explosions blew out sand pits around him.

"etc!"

Stopping Sai and Nobuyuki who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack, Jia looked at the enemy covered by the sand and dust with a serious expression.

"I was really surprised. I sensed a familiar chakra and was wondering who it was. I didn't expect to encounter something so unexpected!"

Along with the teasing voices, two figures walked out unharmed, one of them was wrapped in a layer of wood escape armor, and the other was even unharmed.

"The forehead protector of Konoha ninja, is it Orochimaru's legacy, Danzo's work, or Mizuki's?"

Even an attack of this power cannot injure the enemy. It looks like the situation is a bit troublesome.

“That’s not all!”

Uchiha Obito stared at Jia, who was wearing sunglasses, through the Uzumaki mask. Ordinary people might not be able to notice it, but with the insight of the Sharingan, the three black magatama and the blood-red pupils could not escape his eyes.

"Sharingan, it should be Danzo's subordinate. It's really surprising that guy was willing to use Izanami twice?"
