Six people could be seen at the end of a massive bridge with a large number of people following them from behind . The trio of genins and Kakashi were returning to the village today along with zabuza and haku. shin had offered zabuza to be a konoha shinobi under the Uzumaki clan and after much persuasion from haku, he finally agreed.
The citizens of the wave were bidding their heroes a farewell and the rookie genins were basking within the limelight. Shin had already taken over the function of gato company and merged it with his own gaining him a fat piece of meat.
It took two days for the group to reach the gates of konoha where upon seeing zabuza the gate guards started shrieking. We all were know standing inside the hokage office infront of the hokage who was rubbing her nose. Kakashi was giving a verbal report of the proceedings of the mission. Tsunade looked at zabuza and haku and started shaking her head in exasperation. I quietly slid a cheque of forty million ryo to Tsunade for the follow-up procedure. Thirty five for the bounty of zabuza and the rest for Tsunade's hard work.She smiled at me slyly and dismissed us.
Three months passed by pretty fast and the chunin exams was drawing near. In the conference room of konoha all the elite jonins ,clan heads and hokage along with the advisors were sitting for the conference regarding the chunin exams. Poor me was sitting on the Uzumaki clan seat along with jiraiya ,as according to the council's wisdom i should learn to adjust to this lifestyle pretty soon.
Tsunade announced that the chunin exams will be held in konoha in one week and all the respective jonins to submit their team names. Slowly everyone intersection started giving their names but a serious of commotion started when the three rookie genin squad was nominated. Iruka stood up to complain but was silenced by Kakashi.
I looked around the surrounding and saw everyone looking at me . Upon my questioning gaze Tsunade asked for my opinion in participation in the chunin exams. I agreed to participate with a team and team ten was selected as it lacked on attack department.
Next came the issue of the participating nations and along with suna a new village named oto was also within the exams . Tsunade was informed of the unstable jinchuriki by jiraiya which started a series of murmurs again.
The meeting was over pretty soon and the jonin sensei went on their way to inform their students. I was held back by the council to be informed of some thing. They pretty much gave me a free reign in exerting my power and act as a deterrence for the village.
The chunin exams will be a wild one i thought.
