Chapter 77 Before the Assessment
ps: Thanks to Yeyu Hanshan for the 100-coin reward

"My name is Tenten, and I want to tell you that Neji is the first in our class."

The Chinese-style girl standing next to Neji also said with a smile.

His eyes kept shifting between Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke, after all, if we talk about appearance, then they are the best.

The three Menma guys are not inferior to Neji at all. For a handsome man, regardless of other things, at least for girls, it is a very pleasing thing to look at, isn't it?

Tenten was a little jealous of Sakura who was standing next to the three of them.

As for the two "Konoha Gate Gods" who were in everyone's sight just now, they took this opportunity to leave quietly. Among the people present, no one noticed it except Menma.

"Oh!? The first place winner of the previous session? Do you want to compete with me? I'd welcome you. Hey, you don't have to call me Master or anything like that, just call me by my name."

Naruto on the side might be a little slow at other times, but his reaction in this regard is extremely fast.

Almost as soon as Neji finished speaking.

Naruto's eyes lit up and he spoke with an eager expression.

Erzhuzi felt that the other party was provoking him, and his expression became very gloomy.

This is almost like a posture of about to lose one's temper.

"Okay, Naruto, now is not the time for you to waste time. The Chunin Exams are about to begin. Let's go."

Menma also took a step forward in time and spoke these words gently.

"Oh."

It's not just Naruto.

Even Sasuke's momentum faltered.

Although there were no clear words, over the past few months, no matter what mission was carried out, Menma had always been in a position close to command. With Kakashi often leaving it alone, it was Menma who gave instructions for the execution of Team 7's missions. Over time, the other three members of Team 7 also developed the habit of following Menma's orders.

Although given Sasuke's personality, he would still feel somewhat disgusted.

But firstly, Menma's command was never wrong, and secondly, Menma just wanted to be stronger than himself.

Sasuke just chose to accept it.

"Although I graduated only a year earlier, I can still be considered a senior. Neiji-san and Li-san seem to be very familiar with us, so we won't introduce ourselves. If you two seniors want to fight, this is not the right time and place. The next step is the Chunin Exam. I think there will be plenty of opportunities, right? Well, we'll excuse ourselves first, the three 'seniors'"

Menma smiled slightly, then turned around and led the way towards the stairs.

Nijiru also snorted, glanced coldly at Neji and Rock Lee, and followed.

"Menma is right. If we want to fight, this exam is indeed the most suitable stage. Let's see who's the winner in the exam, Neji-san, Lee-san."

Naruto also smiled and waved, then he and Sakura followed and walked upstairs.

"Uzumaki Menma, Namikaze Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke? It looks like this Chunin Exam will be very interesting."

Ningji looked at the backs of Menma and the others as they left, and a different bright color appeared in his pupils.

Menma, who had already left, naturally had no idea that Neji's fighting spirit had been fully aroused. Even if he knew, he would not care. As I said before, Menma now treated all the people and affairs in the Hidden Leaf Village with the most indifferent attitude.

As long as they are not the specified few and those who will stop him in the future, the rest of the people are insignificant in Menma's eyes.

Going up the stairs, I arrived at the door of the real classroom 301.

The four men pushed the door open and walked in.

What came into view was a huge group of people. When Menma and others pushed open the door, they all looked over subconsciously, but most of them turned their gazes away the next moment. Only a few of them fixed their eyes when they saw Naruto and Sasuke standing on both sides of Menma.

A special identity is often the easiest to attract the attention of others.

Although Menma's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had long been known to the entire ninja world under Sarutobi Hiruzen's ridiculous gag order, it was only known to people of a certain status. It was unlikely that the Genin would know what the so-called Jinchuriki was like.

Therefore, it is impossible for these people to pay too much attention to mianma.

There was only one man wearing a Konoha ninja forehead protector and with glasses, who looked completely elegant and gentle. When he saw Menma appear, a faint strange color flashed in the deepest part of his pupils.

This elegant and easy-going man is naturally Orochimaru's most trusted and most capable subordinate - Kabuto Yakushi.

"Team 7 is also here to take part in this Chunin Exam. It seems we need to report to Lord Orochimaru in advance."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses up, his eyes passed over Menma and jumped directly to Sasuke on the right, thinking silently in his heart.

He himself was also secretly thinking about finding an opportunity to contact Team 7. After all, collecting intelligence was his forte.

And on the other side.

What Yakushi Kabuto didn't know was that Menma had already been eyeing him. The moment he entered the classroom, his eyes seemed to be scanning everyone, but except for Gaara, Menma paid a little attention to him and just glanced at the others casually.

The real target of the search is Kabuto Yakushi.

When he saw the harmless and easy-going appearance of Yakushi Kou in the crowd, just like a good guy.

Menma couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he is indeed one of the strongest spy characters in the original work. With his acting skills alone, he is definitely a top figure in the huge ninja world.

To be frank, if Kabuto Yakushi were to go back to Menma's previous life, he would surely win an Oscar for Best Actor purely based on his acting skills.

This is also the most important reason why Kabuto Yakushi can act as a multi-faceted spy.

The most important thing is that this guy is not just a strong spy. As a ninja, his personal strength is already at the level of an elite jonin. Therefore, Menma can't even look at Yakushi Kabuto for too long.

Such ninjas are very sensitive to any attention.

"Now that we have decided on the character, we just need to find the right time..."

Menma let out a breath and thought silently in his heart.

"You guys actually came to participate in such a troublesome thing. I thought only our class was recommended..."

Others won't care when they see Menma and his friends.

But there were still a few figures in the crowd who, after seeing Menma and his group, would take the initiative to approach them.

They were the six Genin from Class 8 and Class 10 who graduated together as classmates.

Menma looked up, and the first person he saw was Nara Shikamaru approaching with a 'very troublesome' expression on his face.

Following behind were naturally Choji and Ino.
