It was already past midnight when Shuimu learned the news. When he was awakened by the summons, he was also confused. At this point in time, there shouldn't be anything important that would require Shuimu to deal with late at night.

Xiaochun was a little worried about the urgent mission that hadn't been seen for a long time, so Shuimu had to comfort her, then yawned and came to the meeting place, and found that he was early.

Hyuga Kamado and Inuzuka Jaw have arrived.

Not long after, Yamanaka Inoichi, Hatake Kakashi arrived, and together with Mizuki, there were five people in total.

With a team configured like this, it would be a shame for so many people to make the trip unless Nagato attacks.

"With so many people, are they going to assassinate the Kages of other ninja villages, or to start a war?"

Mizuki's teasing words eased the tense atmosphere a little.

Hatake Kakashi said sleepily:

"Not necessarily. With the Byakugan, the ninja dogs, intelligence and torture, plus you and me, there should be some special situation that requires support!"

"All right!"

Mizuki shrugged.

"Ignoring the combination of ninja's specialties, it doesn't seem like they are going to fight, but to clean up the battlefield. With so many jonin, it should not be a small matter."

Shuimu had a bad feeling. There was no news of any important incident nearby, not even any signs. Konoha Village's control would not be so poor, so the accident must have happened far away from Konoha...

"Everyone is here."

Tsunade suddenly appeared and got straight to the point.

"Emergency information from the Sand Village in the Land of Wind: People from the Akatsuki organization are appearing in the Chunin Exam!"

I thought I had completely escaped from that sandy country, but I didn't expect that I would have to make another trip.

"Mizuki, use your space-time ninjutsu and rush over to control the situation as quickly as possible."

"knew!"

I knew that I would have to exert a lot of effort. Taking these people to such a far place would consume more chakra than most people could bear.

As the mass and size of the transmission reaches a certain level, the consumption of chakra will increase exponentially.

It's okay for short distances, but for ultra-long distance transmission, it will take Mizuki several days to make up for the chakra loss.

…

The Devil's Desert is really an annoying place. You can be sleeping soundly one moment and eating sand the next. If there is nothing special, it would be a shame to make such a wasted trip.

"So, there are two enemies, and they have both escaped now?"

In the central tower, the top leaders of the Sand Village were holding a meeting, while a few people from Konoha gathered together to exchange ideas.

Among the people present, Inuzuka Jaguar is the oldest, and Yamanaka Inoichi has the highest status and position, but Hatake Kakashi and Mizuki also have high authority and are powerful figures in control of the Security Department, so their qualifications and prestige are slightly inferior.

"The way they escaped was so strange that we didn't have time to stop them. One of them seemed to use earth escape, but I'm not sure. The other one was very strange. It should be space-time ninjutsu!"

"Got it. There is corresponding information in the village about these two people. According to your description, it should be correct."

The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger. Small grains of sand were blown up and hit the glass windows, and the crisp impact sound never stopped.

"The ones that can't be caught up, one uses the Wood Release super-fast movement secret technique, and the other is indeed a space-time ninjutsu. If they are not stopped on the spot, it is basically impossible to stay."

"Really? It seems I was careless then."

Kakashi shook his head.

"It's not your fault, Kai. The enemy is far more bizarre than you could imagine. Wood Release alone is enough to give me a headache."

Not all the jonin know the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization. Kakashi and Yamanaka Inoichi should know it, but Inuzuka Jaw may not know it. Hyuga Katsura, Might Guy, and Yuhi Kurenai may not know it. Sarutobi Asuma probably doesn't know it either, but considering his identity as a member of the Sarutobi family, it's hard to say.

After all, the detailed information of the Akatsuki organization could not be spread widely and quickly. For example, the detailed information of the Rinnegan, probably only Tsunade and those who directly handled it might know something about it.

"It seems that this matter cannot change the outcome for the time being. The planned pursuit may come to nothing."

Having just experienced the space-time ninjutsu and the experience of traveling from the Land of Fire to the Land of Wind in an instant, everyone realized that it was simply a pipe dream to want to hunt down such an enemy.

"The problem now is the Chunin Exam. The ultra-long-distance perception barrier that was just repaired has already detected the oncoming sandstorm. The Sand Village is discussing whether to interrupt the Chunin Exam."

"There is one more thing."

Said Asuma Sarutobi, who had also participated in the Sand Village meeting not long ago.

"Fu Yi, the opposition leader, has been formally imprisoned. Although it has been confirmed that he was not the mastermind of this action, he is still guilty of negligence and negligence. The rest of the party is also being investigated. If necessary, the possible fish that have slipped through the net in the Demon Desert may also need to be checked."

"Then we finally have something to do, and it's not a wasted trip. Any other questions?"

"there is none left!"

Asuma Sarutobi shook his head.

"If the Chunin Exams continue, then we must find a way to prevent the sandstorm from affecting the climate of the Demon Desert too much."

Although the sandstorm is fierce, just like a typhoon, the prelude and the end may be long, but the time it takes to be truly destructive is not long, usually only two or three hours. But in this short time, most of the unprepared candidates will die.

"Shuimu, do you have any ideas?"

Kakashi turned and looked at Mizuki expectantly.

"Didn't you also change the environment in the Death Forest?"

Mizuki waved his hand.

"How can it be that simple? There is no time to set up such a large-scale barrier. Moreover, the huge consumption is so great that even Konoha can only do it with difficulty. How can the Sand Village afford it?"

Human power is limited, and even a short-lived local storm is not so easy to eliminate.

Shuimu was a little confused about this sandstorm. According to his memory, this unavoidable sandstorm definitely did not appear in the Demon Desert at night, but should have appeared during the day.

This has nothing to do with the deviation in the time of the Chunin Exam. This shows that the influence of the butterfly effect caused by Mizuki has accumulated for more than two years and has reached the level of being able to change the weather. As time goes by, the slight deviations in memory will become larger and larger.

Just after a few people chatted for a while, the decision of the Sand Village was announced.

"The second round of the Chunin Exam has been cancelled..."

This was not unexpected. We had to make this choice due to the reality, but the follow-up was completely different.

"There will be no elimination in the second exam, but the results will be sent back to each ninja village for promotion reference. Then the play-offs after the second round will begin directly..."
