Naruto: The Template System

Konoha

Hokage Office.

"Lord Fourth, all of the great nations have accepted our invitation to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Shikaku holding a bundle of documents in his hands, informed Minato, who donned in Hokage Robe, sat at his seat.

"You know Shikaku, they aren't here for Chunin Exam."

Minato looked at Shikaku as he gave him a knowing smile.

"Yes, Lord Fourth, as you expected, the frequent disappearance of Tail Beasts has made them restless; most likely, they are here to talk about it; Chunin exam is just an excuse."

With its intelligence network, Konoha was naturally aware of the situation in the Ninja World.

They have been paying attention to this matter, and just recently, Jiraya returned to the Village.

He informed them that an Organization consisting of Several S Rank Criminals named "Akatsuki" was behind it.

He couldn't find its headquarters, but it won't take long for him to even do that.

"I'll leave the preparations for the Chunin Exam to you, Shikaku; the younger generation needs to grow; I have a feeling that a big storm is near."

Minato stood up, arrived beside the window, and looked at the lively Village below.

Minato didn't forget about the person 12 years ago who controlled the Kyuubi; he has a feeling that this guy is the mastermind behind the disappearance of Tail Beast.

"You can count on me, Lord Fourth."

Shikaku bowed and then left the Hokage Office as he had a lot of work in his hands.

No 3 Training Ground.

"What! Chunin Exam?"

Ino exclaimed, looking at the form given by Kurenai to them.

"Trouble"

Shikamaru knew his coming days wouldn't be accessible anymore by looking at the form in his hands.

And as for Choji, he seemed to have eaten the form along with potato chips in his hands.

"We have been doing tasks for three months; I have seen that you all improved a lot this time; you can pass this exam, trust yourself."

Kurenai patted the shoulders of Ino and Shikamaru, encouraging them and as for Choji, well, forget him.

"This time, the Chunin Exam is special; Genin from every Big Nation is arriving in Konoha to participate, so don't shame the name of our Village."

Kurenai being one of the leading figures of the last generation, naturally knew the inside story.

And she was also a student of Tsunade, so whenever a meeting occurred at the Hokage building, she was a part of it.

The disappearance of Tail beasts has caused panic in the Ninja World.

She hoped that her students could grow up safely and prayed that they would never have to feel the Pain of losing their loved one.

"Don't worry, Sensei, we'll rock this exam, right??"

Ino, the most cheerful one, waved her fists in excitement, assuring Kurenai as she looked at her teammates for their confirmation.

"Though it's a drag, I'll participate."

Shikamaru rubbed his neck, a little annoyed, but he knew he couldn't refuse; otherwise, things won't end well when his mother learns about it.

And as for Choji, well, you know it already.

"Your special training starts today; there's only a month left; you have to get as strong as possible."

Kurenai waved her hands as she started the special training before the Chunin Exam.

Whether it was Kakashi, Guy, or Shizune, they started to train their students as soon as the news of the upcoming Chunin Exam spread throughout the Village.

Rain Village.

Once again, a meeting took place as Pain was informing everyone about the latest information he got from Zetsu.

"Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu, you will go to Cloud Village, and Zetsu will help you deal with the Shinobi of Cloud."

"Juzo, Sasori, and Deidara, you will go to the Hidden Mist and capture the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails."

Even if Kozuki had killed three tails, but tail beasts were immortal, so after some time, they would be resurrected somewhere in the Ninja World.

"Shanks, Tobi, and I will be going to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails."

"Shanks, you will go earlier than us and infiltrate Konoha quietly and keep an eye on them."

Pain had unwavering confidence in his eyes as he believed in front of the power of the god no mortal would be able to stand straight.

Kozuki was speechless as he could sense the arrogance hidden in the words of Pain.

Even without his help, he knew Konoha had enough power now to deal with these two.

Sakumo, Tsunade, Jiraya, Shisui, Kakashi, Minato, and even Itachi.

To Kozuki, with Pain's strength, he would get killed in Konoha.

Everyone present had a bloodthirsty smile on their faces as they couldn't wait to start their attack already.

Soon, the meeting came to an end as the whole world was looking forward to the first-ever Joint Chunin Exam.

It was the first time that all five villages were participating simultaneously, so it hyped the upcoming Chunin Exam.
