Chapter 1765 Intelligence and Selection
"That means we are at least in a relatively peaceful and stable country?" After Steve roughly understood the situation, he couldn't help but sigh: "Children aged seven or eight need to go to the battlefield, which reminds me of those countries that have suffered from war."
"Yes, but we have to respect local cultural customs." Wanda blinked: "I forgot to tell you, I know a little soldier, how about you accompany me to watch his exam later?"
"The child named Naruto?" Steve thought for a while: "This name sounds familiar."
"His life experience is quite special." Wanda briefly introduced Naruto's life experience in the team channel.
Uzumaki Naruto, an orphan without a father or a mother, was bullied in the village because everyone said he was the incarnation of a demon fox. These intelligence clues were all learned by Wanda through witchcraft from the clues announced by the official.
She also reminded Steve: "It's not as simple as it looks here, especially those ninjas, they have incredible abilities!"
Captain America nodded in agreement and said: "I've seen it."
Knock knock knock, the door was knocked, Steve turned around and said: "Come in."
A young female ninja pushed the door open and said with a laugh: "See you again, bearded uncle."
Her smile was very generous and a little familiar, "Oh, there is another beautiful sister? This is the red bean paste I just bought, do you want to try it?"
Steve recognized her, she had followed the white-haired ninja and chased away the roots. "Hello."
Steve took the snacks from the other party and introduced himself: "My name is Steve, her name is Wanda, what should I call you?"
"Just call me Red Bean." Red Bean looked at them curiously: "Where are you from? You look so strange."
Steve smiled, "A very far place."
"Okay, strange outsiders, the third generation asked me to be your guide. I really don't understand, the Chunin Exam is not over yet, and I am given such a task." Red Bean couldn't help complaining.
Steve and Wanda looked at each other, obviously understanding that this was the third generation Hokage showing goodwill to them.
Sending a guide like Red Bean who is carefree and familiar is much better than the lazy and silent white-haired one before.
Wanda thought for a moment and asked, "How far have you progressed in the Chunin Exam?"
"Well, are you interested too? Konoha hasn't been so lively for a long time."
Hongdou smiled and said, "The Death Forest stage has just ended. The winner needs to participate in the final round of trials before he can enter the official competition."
Hearing her say this, Hongdou's eyes lit up and asked, "Naruto, did Uzumaki Naruto advance?"
"You know Naruto too?" Hongdou looked at Wanda with interest.
Wanda blinked: "I'm staying at Naruto's house temporarily now. He's a good kid."
"He's a troublemaker!" Hongdou pouted, then laughed again: "This kid has also advanced to the trials. Well, the competition is probably about to start. Do you want to go and see?"
"If it's convenient, take us to the scene to see." Wanda was waiting for her to say this.
Steve had no objection, so he followed to join in the fun.
Hongdou led the two to the street. Compared to Wanda, Steve was visiting Konoha Village for the first time and looked around curiously.
"What an interesting place." Steve took the opportunity to ask Hongdou for information: "Are other cities, I mean villages, as prosperous and peaceful as your Konoha?"
"Hmm..." Hongdou glanced at him and shook her head:
"The peace you see now is actually very short-lived. A few years ago, the villages were still at war. In fact, until now, leaving Konoha and the Land of Fire, some other small villages are still in war. Of course, as long as the five major ninja villages do not start a war, it is still peaceful all day long."
Steve nodded thoughtfully. According to his understanding, the so-called five major ninja villages are a bit like the five permanent members of the Earth.
The five major countries did not directly participate in the war, and the Earth as a whole was still peaceful, but armed conflicts in local areas still existed.
Then, Steve asked her for information about the roots. Hongdou, who was originally carefree, suddenly fell silent, saying that she didn't know much and didn't know anything.
From her performance, Steve could probably guess the status of the Root in Konoha Village, so he said in the team channel: "Obviously, this Root is similar to a special service agency like Forbo or S.H.I.E.L.D."
"No, I think the Root is more like Hydra." Wanda replied.
Steve laughed dumbly: "You are right." The three of them walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived at the selection site.
At this time, the game had already started. Two figures on the martial arts field were fighting back and forth. Wanda looked up and immediately found Naruto's position.
Not only Naruto, but the third generation Hokage was also here at this time. His perception was very sharp. He noticed Wanda's gaze and gave them a look, nodded and said hello.
"They are still children, do they have to fight and kill each other?" Steve frowned as he watched the fight on the martial arts field, and shook his head, saying, "Spartan-style education is not advisable."
When Hongdou heard this, she put away her carefree side and said seriously, "No, from the moment they put on the forehead protectors, they are no longer just children, but ninjas!"
The next moment, she laughed again, "To be honest, these little guys are still a long way to go!"
Hongdou was born in a war-torn era. When she became a Genin, she had to go to the battlefield!
In comparison, Naruto's generation of ninjas did not try their best to survive the test of war, so their childhood was relatively happy.
Steve shrugged his shoulders, remembering Wanda's reminder to adapt to local customs, so he didn't say anything more and began to concentrate on watching the game below.
Hongdou chatted with several other ninjas. Wanda observed silently and found that these ninjas used the vests worn on their upper bodies to distinguish each other's status.
Most of the dark vests were jonin, and the light ones were chunnin. Most of the jonin were teachers of the young genin who participated in the selection.
These jonins also cast curious eyes on Steve and Wanda, but they didn't ask questions.
In the martial arts field below, the battle gradually became white-hot. One controlled the puppet and the other used sound waves. In the end, the puppeteer took the lead and won.
"Two little girls." The next battle was Steve's acquaintance-the red-haired girl Sakura.
In this battle, Sakura will fight with another yellow-haired girl, Yamanaka Ino. Although they are both seemingly weak girls, the fight is still fierce and intense.
