Chapter 336 The Uchiha Triumphs, Marrying Seven New Queens
The sounds of battle in the Misty Forest gradually faded away, and most of the examinees had already arrived at the Misty Fortress.
"Dear test takers, please be quiet!"
Fortress examiner Uchiha Tetsuka suddenly appeared on the high platform with a Body Flicker Technique, the scroll in his hand trembling slightly in the wind.
He cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Due to several large-scale conflicts between ninja villages during the exam period, after emergency discussions among the higher-ups, the remaining stages of the Chunin Exams have been adjusted. The next stage will be a written exam; those who pass will be considered to have advanced!"
The audience erupted in uproar, whispering amongst themselves, clearly surprised by the sudden change.
"What? It's changed to a written exam? That's different from what we said before!"
"What were the higher-ups thinking, changing the rules at the last minute?"
In the crowd, Naruto Namikaze scratched his head blankly, muttering, "Literature exams? I'm not very good at that, sigh!"
Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, with an arrogant and cold expression, silently pondered how to deal with the new rules.
Examiner Uchiha Tetsuka continued, "The written exam will be held tomorrow morning in the fortress hall. The exam will cover ninjutsu theory, tactics, and strategies. Please prepare accordingly."
At this moment, Hinata Hyuga nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, feeling both worried about not doing well on the test and hoping to prove herself in this exam.
Aburame Shino pushed up her glasses, looking confident and composed.
With different feelings in their hearts, the candidates began to prepare for tomorrow's written exam.
The following day, a unique atmosphere of tension permeated the Misty Fortress, for a battle without gunfire was about to begin.
Sasuke stared at the exam paper, completely dumbfounded!
"Question 1: On August 15th, 1206 in the lunar calendar, how much power would be needed to throw a kunai from the Ninja World onto the moon?"
"Question 2: Given an unknown ninjutsu, 26 hand seals are required: 亥-戌-卯-戌-寅-巳... Please analyze what type of ninjutsu this is and, based on the order of the hand seals, explain the ninjutsu's effect!"
Question 3, given...
Sasuke cursed inwardly, "What kind of question is this? I've never seen any related theories before."
Looking at the other candidates, they all looked astonished.
Naruto slumped onto the table, wailing, "Who can solve this problem? I feel like my head is going to explode!"
Hinata Hyuga bit her lip, her brows furrowed, as she tried to recall what she had learned and find a solution to the problem.
Aburame Shino sat expressionlessly in his seat, his pen moving slowly across the exam paper, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
The other candidates, on the other hand, seemed rather anxious. Some were scratching their heads, while others were sighing, clearly stumped by the difficult question.
Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the back of the examination room, which sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet examination room.
The leader of the Iwagakure Four, Fukado, looked at them with disdain, muttering, "You think you can stump us with this kind of question?"
After saying that, he quickly picked up his pen and began writing on the exam paper with flowing strokes.
Sasuke felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
He realized that this exam was probably not just about testing knowledge, but more importantly, about gathering intelligence.
So he began to secretly observe the other candidates, trying to find out from their performance who were truly capable of answering the questions.
After finding his target, he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, observed the opponent's movements, and quickly imitated and copied them.
In the examination room, many people had already guessed that this exam was actually about intelligence gathering, so they all used their abilities to analyze and investigate.
Some people with poor intelligence-gathering skills were quickly discovered and eliminated!
"Akane Shirota...eliminated... Riri Sena...eliminated..."
......
In the end, this Chunin Exam, full of twists and turns, came to a hasty but peaceful end.
On the stone path outside the palace of the Land of Water, two women stood side by side with Uchiha Sanfeng.
The woman on the left is wearing a dark green floral long dress, her long hair loosely tied into a bun, and her every move exudes gentleness.
The two teak doormen on the right were dressed in casual short-sleeved shirts, their eyes and brows showing a touch of liveliness and playfulness.
The three were followed by four attendants as they walked along the cement road toward the temporary encampment of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Sanmine, isn't it too rash of us to suddenly go looking for Lord Raikage like this?"
Mabu-i gently tugged at Uchiha Mitsumine's sleeve, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of tension.
She had been away from Kumogakure for many years, and now that she was about to see the Fourth Raikage, A, from her hometown, she felt a little strange.
Uchiha Mitsunori stopped, turned around, took her hand, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, Ai is straightforward. I brought you here for two reasons: first, to let you meet your fellow villagers and clear up the misunderstandings from back then; second, to formally tell everyone that I'm going to hold a wedding for you and marry you as my queens."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the eyes of the man in linen clothes, his expression earnest.
The two women with teakwood doors immediately took his other arm and shook it: "Really? Then we'll be the queens of the Land of Water from now on?"
Ever since her two tails were extracted, she had been worried that she was a "useless person," and now that she had received such a promise, her cheeks flushed.
"I keep my word!"
Uchiha Mitsumine gently ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Soon, the four arrived at the Cloud Village's encampment. Upon seeing the attire of the Uchiha Three Peaks, the guards immediately reported their arrival respectfully.
A moment later, the curtain was lifted, and the Fourth Raikage, A, strode out. He was dressed in dark white clothes, and the metal arm guards on his hands gleamed in the sunlight. When he saw the linen clothes and the two teakwood doors...
He stopped abruptly, his eyes wide with shock: "Linen clothes? Teak door? You...you're still alive?"
Back then, the Hidden Cloud Village sent people everywhere to search for the two of them. Everyone thought they were long gone, but they never expected to appear together in the Land of Water.
When Mabui saw Ai's familiar face, his eyes instantly reddened: "Fourth Raikage, it's been a long time."
The two teak doormen also bowed, trying to calm their excited emotions.
Ai was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He stepped forward, patted the man in linen on the shoulder, looked at the two men with teak doors, and then burst into laughter: "Good! Good! It's good that you're alive! I'm overjoyed that you've found such a place to belong!"
He turned to look at Uchiha Mitsunori, his tone solemn, "Mitsunori, thank you for taking care of them. I'll definitely be at the wedding, and we'll have a good drink then, until we're both drunk!"
After leaving the Cloud Village's base, Uchiha Mitsunori took Temari to the Sunagakure Village's base.
Temari wore a white gauze dress unique to the Land of Water, with silver vine patterns embroidered on the hem. Her long hair was styled into an exquisite bun, adorned with a sapphire hairpin, and her face was adorned with light makeup.
She has been cultivating in the Immortal Village for three years and is now 19 years old. She is no longer the little girl with a ponytail who loved to throw tantrums. Instead, she has grown into a graceful and gentle mature beauty, though a few traces of girlish liveliness still remain in her eyes.
"Sanfeng, do you think Father will really not recognize me if he sees me?"
Temari sat in the carriage, her fingertips gently brushing the patterns on her skirt, her tone carrying a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
Uchiha Mitsunori grasped her hand and gently patted the back of it: "Don't worry, even if you change your appearance, he'll still recognize your eyes. Besides, you're so beautiful now, he'll only be happy for you."
The car slowly came to a stop, and the attendant lifted the curtain, revealing the tents of the Sand Village's encampment.
When the two entered the Sunagakure camp, Rasa was sitting at his desk looking at intelligence reports, writing and drawing on the paper with his brush.
Hearing footsteps, he didn't even look up, casually asking, "Is that Kankuro? How's Gaara?"
But the moment he looked up and saw Temari, the brush in his hand fell onto the rice paper with a "thud," and the ink smeared widely.
He jumped to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief: "You...you are...Temari?"
The woman before him was tall and graceful, a far cry from the 16-year-old daughter he remembered who loved to throw tantrums while holding a fan.
How could there be such a big change in just over eight months?
Seeing her father's shocked expression, Temari couldn't help but smile, stepped forward, and gently hugged him: "Father, it's me. Am I different from before?"
Luo Sha stared blankly at her daughter, gently touching her hair with her fingers, her voice full of emotion: "She's different, really different. She's grown taller and more beautiful; I almost didn't recognize her just now."
He released his grip, carefully examining Temari, his eyes slightly reddening: "In the Land of Water... Were you happy? Did he bully you?"
Uchiha Mitsunori stepped forward and stood beside the two, speaking solemnly: "Rasa, Temari has not only improved a lot in strength, but her temperament has also become much more composed. I brought her here today to formally inform you that I intend to hold a wedding for her and make her the queen of the Land of Water. I hope you will agree."
Looking at the smile in Temari's eyes, and then at the serious look in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes, Rasa remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding: "Alright. I'm relieved that you can treat her well."
He reached out and patted Uchiha Mitsunori on the shoulder. "On your wedding day, I'll bring Kankuro along to give you my blessings."
In just a few days, the news that the Uchiha Sanfeng was about to marry seven queens spread throughout the entire ninja world at an astonishing speed.
People were filled with curiosity and surprise about Uchiha Mitsunaga's marriage.
They were especially shocked when they learned the identities of the seven princesses.
Among them, Temari is the eldest daughter of Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure; Mabui and the two Yukimon are from Kumogakure; and there is also the female daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Koyuki...
Besides these four women of prominent status, the remaining three princesses also had their own unique characteristics.
It is said that Crimson Lotus is very beautiful and also possesses the rare Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai!
Shizune and Uzuki Yugao were secretaries who had been rumored to be having affairs with Uchiha Mitsunaga for a long time...
