Chapter 707 The Third Match Against Xuan Yu
"You knew the answer in advance?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and muttered something under his breath. Then, his eyes became serious, but he still squinted at the booth: "How can you be so sure?"

Although the tone was calm, it clearly carried a questioning tone!

If it is confirmed that the exam questions were leaked, then Ibihi, the chief examiner in charge of the exam, will bear primary responsibility.

"Because, Xuan Yu slept the whole time he went to the exam hall, and only got up to start the questions when it was almost time to hand in his paper. He didn't even look at the questions... If he had done it himself, this would have been impossible!" Ka Peng explained everything he had seen earnestly, and then shared his thoughts!

As he said, if Xuan Yu did not know the answers in advance and did not cheat, it would have been impossible for him to complete the left and right questions so quickly. It was simply impossible!
However..
He was certain that Xuan Yu hadn't cheated; he had been keeping a close eye on Xuan Yu.

"Oh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, but still looked at Ibiki: "Ibiki, what do you think about this?"

Although there was no direct criticism, it put a lot of pressure on him. Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, he even swallowed hard!
For an interrogator to appear nervous under such circumstances indicates that his mind is in turmoil.

but,

Under Xuan Yu's gaze, he had no choice but to look up and meet Hiruzen Sarutobi's narrowed eyes. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I don't know if anyone leaked the exam questions, but I will interrogate those people when we get back!"

After he expressed his opinion, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded!

"I trust you to handle things!" After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "It's not that I'm targeting you, but if we let that good-for-nothing brat Genyu pass the test through improper means, it would be a disgrace to Konoha and unfair to those who took the test!"

"I understand!" Ibiki nodded. He also agreed with Hiruzen Sarutobi's statement. It was a disgrace for him to let the incompetent Genyu pass the competition. He was determined to find out who was helping that Uchiha brat cheat.

"Then I'll wait for your news!" Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, seemingly satisfied with Ibiki's statement. "You may leave now!"

finished,

Hiruzen Sarutobi is about to kick people out!

"Uh, Hokage-sama, will the Chunin Exams continue tomorrow?" Ibiki asked Hiruzen Sarutobi earnestly.

Ultimately, he was the one who caused this mess, and he needed to find out how to resolve the situation; otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

"Continue?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then continued, "The second match is canceled; let's have a direct ninja battle."

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes!

Uh?
Should the second exam be cancelled and a third exam conducted instead?

Hongdou didn't kill herself. She had prepared for this exam for a long time, and she didn't want to think about the consequences if her second exam was canceled!
"Time waits for no one. I've also thought about it. The second exam was a bit unreasonable, so let's just draw lots for the third round!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said, his tone heavy. "However, I must make one thing clear: if a cheating brat passes the Chunin Exams, then it will be a failure for Konoha!"

The first sentence, "Time waits for no one," was what Hiruzen Sarutobi said to himself!
He's going to perform his second Impure World Reincarnation tonight, and if nothing unexpected happens, the chakra he's consuming will increase even more. He really can't wait much longer; he needs to quickly control the resurrected beings to annihilate the Uchiha clan and then streamline them! Of course...

The following sentence was a reminder to Ibiki that there were some things he couldn't do personally and needed Ibiki to convey them to him, thus putting Uchiha Gen'yu in a difficult position!

To prevent Uchiha Genyu from becoming a Chunin, of course... it would be even better if Uchiha Genyu suffered some hardship or was humiliated.

"I understand. I will remind the examiner for the third round to tamper with the draw and change Uchiha Genyu's opponent!" Ibiki nodded. In his opinion, Hiruzen Sarutobi was right. Uchiha Genyu should not be allowed to pass this test. If Genyu were to pass, it would be a disgrace to Konoha!

"I never said you had to tamper with things. Everything must be fair!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious, but he immediately waved his hand: "Alright, you can leave now!"

He gave Ibixi a couple of reminders, then simply told them to leave!

The two stopped talking, said goodbye to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and left the Hokage's office!
"What does Lord Ibiki Hokage mean? What do you mean by 'we didn't let you tamper with things, but you still can't prevent Uchiha Genyu from passing the test'?" Kapeng's mind was a little confused.

This?
He knew that the Hokage didn't want Xuan Yu to pass the test, but he wouldn't let him do anything wrong.

just in case,

What if that brat from the Uchiha clan manages to pass the test by sheer luck?
"You're completely confused. The Hokage would never say anything about cheating. He's always fair, so he can't possibly say such a thing!" Ibiki looked at Kapong, somewhat helplessly. He was even wondering how Kapong, this blockhead, could have been entrusted with such an important task by the Hokage.
Oh! ~!

Although Kapeng was a little confused, he nodded seriously.

Ibiki looked at Kabuto, who was still somewhat bewildered, and shook his head helplessly. Perhaps the Hokage sometimes needed someone a little silly. In the end, he didn't waste any more words with Kabuto and left directly.

He still had many things to do. First, he needed to inform Hongdou that tomorrow's trial had been canceled, and second, he needed to arrange the lottery for tomorrow.

Third,

He also needs to interrogate those around him to find any traitors. Heh, it seems he hasn't displayed his judgment skills for years, and now... someone's actually causing trouble!

Now it's time to show them how formidable the interrogators are!

In the Hokage's office
Not long after the two left, Danzo Shimura came in.

As soon as he entered the room, he began to mock: "Heh heh, Hiruzen, it seems your exam today didn't go very well, and it even caused some trouble!"

Having finally gotten a chance to mock Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura wasn't about to let it slip by!

After receiving this news, I came straight here wanting to see Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression.

"You came here just to mock me?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "I'm waiting for someone. If you have nothing else, then leave!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to waste time talking to Danzo Shimura right now, and he had important matters to attend to, which could cause serious trouble if not handled properly.
