Because the Second Great Ninja War had just ended, many feudal lords were observing, ready to issue missions.
To show off Konoha's strength to the audience, Hiruzen Sarutobi allowed Shikaku to participate in the Chunin Exams.
"Really? I want to participate too! Nawaki, Shibi, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately became interested and wanted to participate without hesitation.
However, she knew she needed a team of three, so she immediately looked at Nawaki and Shibi.
"Since Kushina is interested, I'll accompany you to the end."
Shibi agreed right away.
As for Nawaki, there was no need to ask. With his personality, he wouldn't miss such a lively event.
"Minato!"
Seeing her teammates agree, Kushina turned her bright, blinking eyes toward Minato, full of anticipation.
"Don't worry. I'll go talk to the Third Hokage tomorrow and add your names to this Chunin Exam."
Minato made an "OK" gesture.
Kushina was overjoyed. She jumped up and left a greasy lip print on Minato's cheek with her mouth.
This made everyone burst into laughter, not minding the public display of affection.
Minato rolled his eyes helplessly.
Actually, Kushina going out to participate in the Chunin Exams was perfect. It would give him plenty of time to fool around with Mikoto.
Ahem, after tasting it, Minato missed it quite a bit.
It was just right to use the opportunity of Kushina's Chunin Exams to get his fill all at once.
As for whether it was unfair for Kushina, who had comprehensive Kage-level strength, to participate in the Chunin Exams, that wasn't his concern.
As long as he was happy, Kushina was happy, and Mikoto was comfortable, that was all that mattered. He didn't care what others thought.
The group chatted while eating, talking about their recent experiences. Only Kushina and Choza kept fighting over the grilled meat.
In the end, the ninth meat-snatching contest ended with Choza's defeat.
"Damn it! I'll definitely win next time!"
Choza's eyes burned with intense flames. Losing nine times in a row couldn't stop his determination to win.
"Bring it on! You say that every time."
Kushina didn't care at all.
After the meal, everyone dispersed. Minato took Kushina and Mikoto home to wash up and sleep.
However, in the middle of the night, a sleeping Mikoto suddenly felt something enter her body, almost making her cry out in surprise.
Then, suppressed sounds came from Minato's room.
But Kushina didn't hear a thing; she was sound asleep.
Early the next morning, Mikoto gave Minato a disgruntled look. "Aren't you afraid Kushina will find out?"
"Ahem, I couldn't help it."
Minato blushed. Heaven knew what kind of torture it was to sleep holding two beauties yesterday.
He didn't think much of it before trying, but after trying, Minato expressed that he really couldn't hold back! He just couldn't do it!
Mikoto rolled her eyes again and didn't say anything.
Honestly, she missed it too after the first time.
After breakfast.
Minato went to the Hokage's office to report that Kushina wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams.
"That girl loves to join in the fun. With her strength, isn't she just going to bully people?"
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi refused verbally, his hands were honest. He directly gave Minato a form, the registration form for the Chunin Exams.
"Thanks a lot, Uncle Hokage."
After taking the registration form, Minato didn't delay any longer. He found Kushina and discovered that Nawaki and Shibi were also there.
So he handed them the registration form, asked them to fill it out, and then hand it back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Kushina couldn't wait to start filling out the form, then handed it to Minato.
"Minato, go back first. We need to discuss tactics."
Kushina waved her hand, telling Minato to leave first.
Hearing this, a large drop of cold sweat dripped from Minato's forehead.
With your strength, do you need to discuss tactics? Wouldn't it be better to just crush them directly?
I don't get it, I really don't get it.
Whatever, since Kushina won't be around, I'll go find Mikoto for a feast. Opportunities like this are rare.
After Minato left, Kushina began discussing the battle plan. The first plan was to suppress their strength to the level of elite Genin.
Otherwise, instantly wiping out the enemy as soon as they went up would be too boring. Toying with the enemy is more fun. Whenever the opponent unleashes their ultimate move, they would raise their strength just a little bit and continue to crush them. How interesting that would be!
Nawaki and Shibi listened, cold sweat streaming down their faces. They felt sorry for the ninja from other villages in the upcoming Chunin Exams.
Running into someone who liked to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger like this was just bad luck.
As for those from the same village, probably 90% of them had heard of the name "Red Hot Habanero."
Not many dared to provoke this one.
Kushina is going to bully people again. Ninja from other villages, pray for yourselves!
Shibi and Nawaki thought silently.
For this Chunin Exam, Konoha invited allied nations and some surrounding countries to participate.
For example, the Hidden Grass, Hidden Rain, Hidden Waterfall, etc. Even the neutral Land of Iron sent samurai to participate in this Chunin Exam.
Naturally, samurai had their own ranking evaluations, but that didn't stop them from participating in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha.
Of course, Konoha also invited smaller ninja villages.
As for the other four great nations, even if invited, they wouldn't come. The Second War had just ended; they were afraid they wouldn't be able to return if they went to Konoha.
After Minato submitted the registration form, Kushina waited for the arrival of the Chunin Exams.
For this reason, she didn't take on any more missions.
Days passed, and as the Chunin Exams approached, ninja from other villages arrived in Konoha.
One could often see ninja from other countries wandering the streets of Konoha.
Of course, some people marveled at Konoha's prosperity and stability.
Some admiring merchants, after seeing the scene in Konoha, wished they could stay and settle down there.
They had been to other countries, but compared to the Land of Fire and Konoha, those places were unbearable, especially the Hidden Sand Village.
That place was nothing but yellow sand; it simply wasn't a place for humans to stay.
As expected of the village of the victorious nation. Even after experiencing the flames of war for so long, the population was still so flourishing.
It's decided. I'll do business in Konoha. Getting rich depends entirely on this.
At this moment, the merchants set their goals.
