Chapter 423: Unconscious Changes
Seeing the troublemakers consciously quiet down.
Kaito then turned around and looked at the Kirigakure ninja who was in charge of guarding the side with a puzzled look and asked.
"Doesn't this guy know me?"
When the Kirigakure ninja who was in charge of guarding the examination room heard his own Mizukage asking questions, cold sweat broke out on his back.
When the leader comes to inspect, his good performance may not be remembered, but his work mistakes will definitely be recorded.
What's more, the way Mizukage-sama just now knocked down the troublemaker, even he, a bystander, was a little frightened.
However, he did not dare to neglect the Mizukage's question, and quickly answered in a low and respectful voice.
"Mizukage-sama, the Hoshigakure Village is a small village after all, so it's inevitable that they may have less experience."
Yes, the person who was shouting just now was the leader of the Hoshigakure Village who came to take the exam this time.
However, even they themselves probably can't tell how much water this "Jonin" has.
However, the Kirigakure guard had just finished speaking when Kaito hadn't reacted at all.
The three Genin who followed their sensei to take the exam heard that the person in front of them was actually the Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village.
The body, which was already kneeling on the ground and was about to fall, fell directly on its back.
All three of them fainted along with their sensei.
"Well, it's true that no one knows me."
Seeing Kaito's depressed expression, Konan, who was standing by, immediately felt the intimidation brought by the aftermath of the "Pressure" disappear, and she pursed her lips to reveal a slight smile.
"Tell me, what happened just now?"
Hearing the Mizukage asking what happened, the Kirigakure ninja nearby hurriedly narrated the whole story.
It turned out that the group of Amegakure Village candidates led by Konan and the group of Hoshigakure Ninja candidates led by this foaming idiot both wanted to come and 'visit' the examination room before tomorrow's exam.
However, the original rules of the exam were that no candidate was allowed to enter the examination room before the exam started, and even Kirigakure's own candidates were treated equally.
After learning about this, Konan, who arrived first, took the Amegakure candidates back and left.
However, he was mistaken by the Hoshigakure Ninjas who came later as someone who had just come out of the examination room for a visit.
So this guy started a quarrel with the Kirigakure ninja who was in charge of guarding at the entrance of the examination room.
And because of the relationship between Amegakure and Kaito, Konan did not deal with this man on the spot or just leave.
After listening to this, Kaito looked at the examination room guard speechlessly.
"What's the point of arguing with this guy? Are you really a ninja from our blood mist?"
The person he asked thought to himself.
'Didn't you say, Mizukage-sama, that we should show the open side of Kirigakure and change the reputation of Blood Mist, and stop fighting and killing people all the time?'
But he didn't dare to say it out loud, and could only force a bitter smile with an ugly expression.
Kaito roughly understood from his expression that it was probably because he had gone too far, so he didn't make things difficult for him and turned to Harusame and said.
"This is the only team of Hoshigakure Ninja this time, right? Disqualify them from the exam."
"Yes, Mizukage-sama."
After hearing Kaito's instructions, Harusame directly took out the exam list and crossed out the names of several Hoshigakure Ninjas.
To be honest, Harusame still admires these people very much.
Harusame could actually understand that they didn't recognize the Mizukage's appearance.
This small ninja village in a remote corner probably doesn't even have a complete intelligence system. They may not even know which generation of Kage the five major ninja villages have passed, let alone what the contemporary Kage looks like.
However, even so, the Land of Bears where the Hoshigakure Village is located is now under the jurisdiction of the Kirigakure Village.
Although there is no clear division in the ninja world regarding this kind of thing.
However, the right of ninjas to enter and exit freely brought by mission shares is actually equivalent to belonging.
It is precisely because of this that the Hoshigakure Village was invited to participate in the Chunin Exam.
And the other party actually dared to cause trouble in the Sea Mist Castle.
Aren't they afraid that the Mizukage-sama will directly send people to destroy their village?
Kaito didn't know what was going on in Harusame's mind. After giving instructions on the qualification for the exam, he looked at the guard whose eyes had regained their brightness.
"Go find a few good people and throw these idiots out of Sea Mist City together. Don't let them stay here and get in the way."
"Yes! Mizukage-sama!"
Seeing that the man was about to call for help excitedly, Kaito quickly added another sentence.
"Remember to leave them some breath, don't let them die outside the city!"
After saying this, Kaito no longer paid attention to him and spoke to Harusame.
"Remind me after the second exam and arrange a team to go to the Hoshigakure Village and hold them accountable for disrupting the Chunin Exam."
Kaito actually remembered that there was a meteorite that fell from the sky in the Hoshigakure Village, and a secret technique called "Mysterious Peacock Method" that could only be practiced in conjunction with the meteorite.
However, that kind of training method is harmful to the ninja itself, and after practicing it, it cannot be considered very strong.
Therefore, when the Land of Bears was assigned to the Kirigakure Village, Kaito didn't think of sending anyone to snatch the meteorite.
So as not to ruin Kirigakure's reputation among his younger brothers.
But now that the Hoshigakure Ninja has come running in front of him, he naturally doesn't mind taking the meteorite away as an apology to the Kirigakure Village.
Even if the ninjas sent to investigate the matter found out that the Hoshigakure Ninja leader had started calling himself "Hoshikage" in private, no one would say anything even if Kirigakure wiped them out directly.
After resolving this small matter, Kaito looked at Konan who had been waiting beside him and greeted him with a smile.
"We really can't let you into the examination room. Can we find someplace else to sit?"
Konan thought about it and decided not to refuse. She just asked the Genin who came with her to return to their residence first, and she followed Kaito alone to find a teahouse in the city.
After sitting down, Konan first looked Kaito up and down before speaking.
"Kaito, you've really changed a lot."
Konan recalled that when she first met Kaito, he was just a young man with some strength.
After joining Akatsuki under a pseudonym, his strength was decent, but not to the point of being too exaggerated.
When they met again, not only had he become the Mizukage, but he also saved Nagato's life. For her and Yahiko, that was a huge favor.
It's just that at that time, although Kaito was considered a strong man, he still didn't look like much of a Mizukage.
And they met again this time.
The young boy has not only become more mature in appearance and dress, but also exudes the intimidating power of a superior from the inside out.
She had never seen this kind of feeling even in Yahiko, who was also the leader of Amegakure.
'Is this the confidence that comes from the Great Ninja Village?'
Kaito had no idea what Konan was thinking, and thought that the other party was just being polite and shrugged indifferently.
"It's also the age when you're growing up, so it's normal for you to grow faster."
"I just happened to see that you were leading the team this time. I mainly wanted to know how Amegakure Village is developing now."
