Naruto: Who made him a ninja?.

Chapter 149: Only one step left to ascend to the Godly Stairs! ( words, please subscribe)

"Is this Konoha? It's really luxurious."

With the approach of the Chunin Exam, more and more ninjas gathered in Konoha Village.

And when they saw everything in Konoha, everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

Konoha is truly worthy of being the ninja village that occupies the most fertile land in the ninja world and controls the most abundant resources.

Everything here makes the ninjas from other villages feel envious, especially those from small ninja villages.

"Tsk, Konoha."

Darui led the ninjas from Kumogakure who came to take the test towards Konoha, and he couldn't help but look around.

Although he was very unhappy, he had to admit that the atmosphere in Konoha seemed to be better than that in Kumogakure.

But he would never admit this. No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as his own home!
What's more, in his opinion, all this is just a pile of money, what's the point?
"Hey, Darui, right? I didn't expect you to be here too."

However, just as he was wandering around, a frivolous voice suddenly came from behind him, which made Darui frown slightly.

Turning around, he saw a guy with yellow hair and wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector walking towards him.

"Deidara? You're here too?"

He naturally knew Deidara, a disciple of Ohnoki, and a guy who was very likely to become the Fourth Tsuchikage. This information was recorded by the senior ninjas in their village.

What's more, he and Deidara have had a lot of contact over the years. After all, there are some things that ordinary people are not convenient to deal with.

Only the most trustworthy person can do it, and they both happen to be the same person.

"Tsk, I don't want to come at all. I can't do anything about what the old man asked me to do."

Deidara said in annoyance, he snorted and continued.

"The old man didn't come himself so I came, but you seem to be in the same boat as me."

"I'm not like you. I'm happy to come."

Darui looked at Deidara in front of him, his mouth twitched and then he shook his head.

"Anyway, I just led the team here to participate in the Chunin Exam. Other things have nothing to do with me at all."

"Tsk, what I hate most is hypocritical guys like you."

Deidara glanced at Darui with extreme disdain. He felt that he really had nothing to say to this guy.

And to be honest, he also hated the work assigned to him by Ohnoki from the bottom of his heart.

He understands everything.

After all, he was carefully trained by Ōnoki, and he was smart, but at only sixteen or seventeen years old, his personality could hardly be described as calm.

In his opinion, there is no need to make so many complicated things.

If he wants to fight, he can fight. He can do his best to show his art!
No need to fight, so he can spend some time studying his art.

This feeling of being stuck in the middle, neither going up nor down, made him extremely unhappy.

"I really don't understand you bunch of psychopaths. I don't want to bother with you anymore."

With a light snort, Deidara turned around and was about to leave. He raised his head and looked at the colorful village of Konoha, and Deidara snorted in disdain.

"How boring! We might as well be at the quarry outside Iwagakure Village. At least I can have some fun blowing things up!"

"After all, explosions are art."

"Dad, is it really appropriate to let Deidara go?"

In Iwagakure Village, the scorching sun makes the whole village seem a little dry.

In Onoki's house, Huangtu paced back and forth anxiously, while Onoki sat there reading a book. Seeing this scene, Huangtu became a little impatient.

"Humph, if he's not suitable as my disciple, who is?"

Ohnoki felt annoyed when he saw his eldest son walking back and forth.

"Besides, I asked Heitu to follow me because I wanted him to keep an eye on this guy. What are you worried about?"

"But."

Huang Tu opened his mouth and didn't want to say anything, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"The person they might have to face is Shihara Hidezawa!"

Shihara Hidezawa.

As soon as this name came out, Ohnoki, who had been relatively quiet, suddenly became a little stiff.

In some senses, this name is no less important to him than Uchiha Madara!

He really couldn't forget that many years ago, that guy suddenly found the thousand-meter-long giant Buddha, and the continuous bombardment directly shattered the Eight-Tails and destroyed his earth escape technique.

It even deformed the topography of the Grass Country, and finally made Iwagakure pay an extremely heavy price - withdrawing from the Grass Country and withdrawing from all the small countries connected to Sunagakure.

This allowed him to return to Iwagakure, and after returning, he spent a lot of energy to stabilize the situation.

It can be said that this is definitely no less painful than the memory of being humiliated by Uchiha Madara back then!

Ohnoki raised his head and glared at his eldest son. He was extremely reluctant to hear this name.

"Don't avoid it, Dad." But Huang Tu also stiffened his neck now: "You and I both know how dangerous that guy is. What if he takes advantage of the situation..."

"I told you, Iwagakure won't act arbitrarily this time."

Ohnoki snorted coldly and interrupted Haodaer's words. He clenched his fists and said coldly.

"I know what you mean, and I understand your concerns, but I want to tell you that what I did was for Iwagakure, for this ninja world!
This guy is so unstable, we must prepare early. Look at the small countries around us, and then see that he has become the assistant of Hokage.

Konoha's ambition will only continue to expand and eventually devour the entire ninja world. I actually hope he takes advantage of this situation, because it will make it easier for us to unite the entire ninja world to deal with him! "

Having said that, Ohnoki paused for a moment before continuing.

"I have always believed that no matter whether you are Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, you cannot face the entire ninja world head-on.

The strength and potential of ninjas are immeasurable, especially when facing difficulties, they can unleash infinite power.

I have also witnessed Uchiha Madara's power. He was cautious and did not kill me back then, and he is even more so today!
Besides, I still don’t think that Shihara Hidezawa can really reach the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.”

"Is this so"

Huang Tu looked at his father. He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only shake his head.

Ohnoki also fell silent, lowered his head and continued reading, but everything that happened back then came back to his mind.

He was once humiliated by Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Madara did not kill him and Wu in the end.

This made him extremely sad and angry, but also gave him a bold idea: Uchiha Madara could not face the entire ninja world alone!
Unfortunately, he didn't know that for Uchiha Madara
"Sir, how could you possibly get angry with a child?"

"Lord Raikage, our supplies have arrived."

As the summer breeze blew, the Hidden Cloud Village, located above the clouds, also felt a hint of heat.

In the Raikage's office, Dodai looked at the Fourth Raikage with a serious expression and spoke.

"Also, according to intelligence, supplies from Iwagakure have already been delivered, and at the same time, members of the Akatsuki organization have also been dispatched in batches, waiting for an opportunity to enter Konoha."

"That's good."

The Fourth Raikage nodded. This was really good news for him. He had been waiting for this day for a long time!
Three years ago, he lost to that kid again, and he still hasn't forgotten it.

Kumogakure paid an extremely painful price before negotiating with Konoha and finally sending him back.

Of course, he also knew that many people probably didn't want him to come back!
But unfortunately, Killer Bee was also in Konoha's hands, which forced the top leaders of Kumogakure to make compromises and decisions.

All this is a complete humiliation for the Fourth Raikage!
He could not forget such a shame, and for the entire Yunyin Village, they would remember such a shame even more deeply.

No matter what, they have to find a way to protect it back!

"Sir, what do you think will be the outcome this time?"

Dodai looked at the silent Fourth Raikage. He hesitated a little, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"After all, that Shihara Hidezawa, he..."

"He is indeed terrifying, I will never deny that!"

The Fourth Raikage shook his head, but his fists were clenched.

"And his ambition is inflated. Look at what Konoha has done over the years.
But if we don't do something, all that awaits us is being devoured and destroyed by him. He is not Hashirama Senju!

The last thing we should do is pin our hopes on others. This is both a test and a declaration."

"Times have changed. They will never allow people like this to do whatever they want!"

"And the humiliation he inflicted on us must eventually be repaid."

"Chunin Exam! Chunin Exam! Here I come!"

Time flies, and the Chunin Exam finally arrives.

Naruto seemed particularly excited. Although he had just graduated from school and became a Chunin, he still had a feeling that he had been through a lot of hard times.
"Keep your voice down, idiot."

Sasuke watched Naruto like this and couldn't help but complain, but he was actually very excited.

Ever since he witnessed the battle of a 'truly powerful ninja' during the Wave Country mission, he has been eager to carry out more difficult missions!

During this period, he had been asking about Xiu Ze and Guang's information. After all, the fighting abilities displayed by these two were too exaggerated.

Especially Hikaru, who was someone he longed to know more about, after all, he was an Uchiha.

Kakashi and Karin were really troubled by him, but unfortunately the information he got in the end was not much.

After all, the identities of these two people are too special. Xianglin is not a talkative person. She only talks about some trivial matters in life and doesn't mention anything else.

But Kakashi strictly abides by the ninja rules and will never say a word that he shouldn't say.

This made Sasuke a little disappointed, but Kakashi finally reminded him.

"If you want to understand them, you must improve yourself. They are the ones standing at the highest point in Konoha, while you are just a fledgling eagle that has just taken off. The gap is too big."

Kakashi's words were very subtle, but Sasuke still understood them clearly. He was probably not even worthy of the other party's attention right now!
"So we must pass the Chunin Exam this time. Only then can we..."

Sasuke clenched his fists and secretly encouraged himself, and so did Karin. She had long been fed up with the identity of a Genin.

The whole family is top students, but she is the only one who fails.
This is no longer just a shame. At least for Karin, this is definitely not something she is willing to accept. She must seize this opportunity no matter what!

"I absolutely must pass, I absolutely must pass"

She kept repeating to herself along the way that this was her chance to turn things around!
"These little guys are working hard."

As the Genin from various countries in the Ninja World prepared for the exam, in a monitoring room in the examination building.

Xiu Ze and a group of senior ninjas were also watching the performance of the little guys through the surveillance.

Although it was just a written test, the kids might not be more attentive than expected. Besides, Xiu Ze also wanted to see how many familiar faces there were among them.

As the leader of the Root and the Hokage's assistant, he definitely has access to a lot of information.

But he still prefers to come and see it in person, this is called fulfilling one's duty.
"The ninjas sent by other villages this time are of high quality."

Kakashi followed and watched the screen, and couldn't help but speak.

"There are many powerful guys coming from each village, especially Kirigakure. The people they sent are not simple at all."

"A kid from the Hozuki clan? Kirigakure is really serious."

Asuma, holding a cigarette, also kept looking at the screen, but his eyes would occasionally fall on Xiu Ze.

Asuma can be said to be the representative of Konoha's "rebellion". He can even publish a book called "My Hokage Father" and has embarked on the "most difficult path".

He did not "fully rely on his father" and even had a bad relationship with his father because his father became Hokage again and took charge of the power.

At one point, he wondered whether the Hokage was the "Dama" or the Daimyo was the master of the "Dama". In order to verify it, he finally went to work for the Daimyo.

Of course, he eventually realized that the Daimyo might not be able to defeat the Hokage, so he returned.
He didn't have much contact with Xiu Ze, after all, Xiu Ze was either in the Root or the Anbu, and he was a mission ninja.

He had only heard of Xiu Ze and knew how powerful Xiu Ze was, after all, he had "My Naruto Father", but even his father did not tell him more details.

Not to mention his father, let alone Kakashi and the others, he was also scared when he saw the Hokage's assistant for the first time, because Xiuze was much younger than he thought!
"Don't worry, believe them, this is the power of youth!"

Akai was also watching the screen. When he heard Asuma's words, he immediately gave a thumbs up!

Although he was also curious about the young Hokage's assistant, he asked Kakashi privately and after receiving the answer of "I can't say more", he stopped asking.

"You make it sound so easy."

When Asuma heard what Akai said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, but Xiu Ze laughed.

"Actually, what Jounin Kai said is right. Just trust the little ones and don't worry about anything else. Kirigakure is also our ally.

I've already informed their team leader that even if there's going to be physical action in the subsequent assessments, there won't be any lethality. Remember to remind your people."

"."

When the senior ninjas heard what Xiu Ze said, they were speechless. Was this a blatant behind-the-scenes operation?
Moreover, many of them had strange expressions on their faces. Kirigakure was once their enemy, and many of them had even fought to the death with Kirigakure in Whirlpool Country.

I didn't expect that we would become allies now?
"Sir, this is the information you requested."

Fortunately, at this moment, Sena Ibiki walked in. Although he was the examiner of the first exam, he was not in a hurry.

"Thank you."

After Xiuze took the scroll, he opened it and started reading it. Kakashi poked his head over from behind.

"This is a list of the leading jonin from each village. What are you looking at this for?"

"Don't you know that this situation is unusual?"

Xiu Ze said with a casual smile, while his eyes kept searching for the target on the scroll.

"It's better to be prepared. It's interesting to see what kind of guys will show up. Maybe we can capture some of them and study them."

"."

Kakashi rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that it was not a good thing for Hidezawa to be the Hokage's assistant. This guy had not forgotten his original profession at all.

Asuma and Akai couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that the style of this Hokage assistant was a little unexpected?

"Hey, Deidara and Darui?"

Xiu Ze looked at the scroll and couldn't help laughing.

"One of them is Ohnoki's disciple, and the other is a close confidant of the Fourth Raikage. We might be able to get some interesting information if we capture them."

"."

All the senior ninjas looked at each other, but Kakashi looked at Hidezawa silently for a long time, and suddenly seemed to realize something and spoke.

"I'll keep an eye on them."

Kakashi naturally knew about Hidezawa's intelligence network. This guy couldn't be unaware of the arrival of these people. He must have a purpose for coming here and saying this.

I can only say that Kakashi is indeed a former teammate, and he knows Hidetsuke too well.
"That's good."

Xiu Ze nodded in satisfaction, then continued speaking.

"This time the situation is very special, no details should be overlooked.

Lord Hokage is busy with Lady Tsunade's affairs, so some details may not be fully explained.

You've all heard rumors to some degree, so please take them seriously."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, everyone understood instantly.

It turns out that the Hokage's assistant was actually worried about the exam, but didn't want to make everyone worry too much, so he spoke in such a teasing tone.
Right?
Before they could finish their thoughts, Hidezawa turned around and looked at Morino Ibiki.

"By the way, what is the written test about this time?"

"It mainly tests their ability to gather intelligence."

Morino Ibiki said respectfully that he was originally in the Anbu, but he didn't have many opportunities to meet Hidezawa in the interrogation class, but Hidezawa could be said to be a legend in the Anbu!

"If you don't collect enough answers within the allotted time, you will probably fail the assessment and be withdrawn from the team mode."

“The written exams are always super difficult.”

Akai seemed to recall his own exams that year, and he couldn't help shivering.

"I remember that you and that idiot Uchiha Obito were always in trouble back then."

Asuma, holding a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly looked at Akai with a wicked smile. It was not until Hong, who had been silent beside him, bumped him with his elbow that he reacted and looked at Kakashi embarrassedly.

"Um, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, it's nothing."

Kakashi rolled his eyes. His ability to withstand pressure had been greatly improved during his interactions with Hidetawa, so he didn't take it to heart.

Xiu Ze just touched his chin. He always felt something was wrong. He thought for a moment before asking.

"I remember one of your assessments tested the resolve of the little ones. Why didn't you do that this time?"

"Ok?"

Morino Ibiki was stunned for a moment. That was a bad memory, because his brother was forced away by him in that way.
He could make most of the rules for this exam, after all, the Hokage and the future Godaime Hokage were busy.

This gave him a lot of freedom, so he didn't plan to do a psychological test, but Xiu Ze came and brought up the old matter again.

"Actually, I think you're not wrong. After all, it's a very important matter."

Hidetawa looked at Ibiki who was silent for a while, he touched his chin and continued speaking.

“In addition to examining these students’ intelligence gathering abilities, it is also necessary to test their team cohesion and resolve.

Chunin is also very important. Sometimes belief is more important than ability, isn't it?"

"Is that so?"

Xiu Ze's words caused everyone present to ponder, especially Akai, whose eyes widened.

Isn’t that what his father is like!
Belief is more important than strength. His father had a firm belief back then, which is why he dared to charge towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and demonstrated the power of youth.

Otherwise, they would have died in the Whirlpool Country.
"Faith?"

Morino Ibiki remained silent, but his mind couldn't help but think of his defected brother. Wasn't it his lack of firm belief that led to the disastrous consequences? Thinking of this, Morino Ibiki seemed to have made a decision, but he seemed to be silent for a little too long, and Hidetsawa was a little impatient.

"Besides, we should also leave a way for our own people."

"?"

Morino Ibiki looked at Hidezawa in astonishment, and not only him, but the other senior ninjas as well.

"If nothing else, the people taking the test this time are no ordinary people."

Xiu Ze raised his head and stretched out his fingers as if counting.

"Hinata, Inuzuka, Ino-Shika-cho, descendants of the Uchiha, descendants of the Uzumaki, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"."

"You don't have to worry about other villages, but the people from our own village are still being assessed on our own territory. We can't lose face."

"."

"Although the ninja world is full of fighting and killing, there are still human relationships and social customs in the village. There are some things that I don't need to explain too clearly, right?"

"."

"Especially Kakashi's team. I know that Naruto guy, he's not very smart."

"."

"Hokage-sama is busy, and now we only have to consider the handover issue, but as his subordinates, we have a lot more to consider."

Even after saying this, all the jonin present remained silent.

They all felt that what the Hokage Assistant said was right, but they also felt that the Hokage Assistant seemed unreliable.

However, they reacted quickly and looked at Kakashi tacitly, as if the source of the problem was with Kakashi.

"I"

Kakashi was stunned when he saw everyone's gaze, but now he seemed to react.

He is going to take the blame for Xiu Ze again.
"These are the exam rules. Let's hand out the papers now and wait for the exam to begin."

Ibiki explained the rules somewhat numbly, and then instructed the invigilating ninjas to distribute the test papers.

He is still hesitating whether to come up with the 'Tenth Question'.

The ninjas sitting below had different expressions. Some of them had understood the core of the exam, but some did not.

"The purpose of this exam is to gather intelligence!"

Sasuke was still very smart. He nodded secretly in his heart and knew what to do.

"Tsk, a free point question."

Xianglin adjusted her glasses, she was also very confident.

As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, her perception is extremely strong, and collecting intelligence is very easy for her!

She just glanced at the people around her, especially when she found that only Neji, Rock Lee and others were in the same grade as her, and she suddenly stopped laughing.

"It's finally here!"

Naruto was also very excited at this time. He couldn't help rubbing his hands. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Moreover, he has studied a lot seriously over the years, and he feels that he should have no problem coping with the exam.

As soon as the test paper came out, he began to read the questions carefully.

"I can do the first question, the second question is no problem, and the third question is also okay."

Naruto continued to review it, and confidence and a smile slowly began to bloom on his face.

"Since you're so confident, I guess it won't be a big problem, right?"

This scene was naturally seen by Ibiki, which made Ibiki feel a little confused but he couldn't help but nodded.

"It seems that Master Xiu Ze is still too worried."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel great. He thought that he just needed to say hello to the other invigilators and pay less attention to these little guys.

However, what he didn't notice was that as he continued to leave, Naruto's face gradually became stiff and pale.

In the end, there was only one thought left in Naruto's mind -

"It's over!"

"How's the situation, Orochimaru?"

In the Land of Fire, in a hidden forest, members of the Akatsuki organization have quietly gathered here.

In an underground cave dug out by earth escape, Uchiha Obito came to Orochimaru. Feeling the strange aura on Orochimaru, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Very good, much better than I expected."

Orochimaru licked his lips gently. He felt that his condition was much better than he had imagined!

But this also made him unable to help but glance at Uchiha Obito. The things in this guy's hand seemed to be more and better than he imagined.
"As long as it feels good, it's fine. Unfortunately, there are still too few biological constructs like this."

Uchiha Obito seemed to see through Orochimaru's thoughts. He shook his head deliberately and spoke helplessly.

"That guy needs to split himself in order to condense a biological construct. Splitting two at once is already the limit.

I hope there won't be too many problems this time. My main concern right now is you. Are you sure you can control the people you summoned?"

Uchiha Obito really spent a lot of money this time. He did not discuss it with Black Zetsu, but directly took out White Zetsu and handed it to Orochimaru.

But he still had some thoughts in mind. He knew that he couldn't take out too much at once, and he couldn't let Orochimaru get these things easily.

That's why he pretended to be mysterious and took out two, and said those words just now. Now everything depends on the performance of Orochimaru.

"Don't worry, everything is under control."

Orochimaru clenched his fist lightly and said in a deep voice.

"Although the Second Hokage and the First Hokage are brothers, the gap between them is huge, and the Second Hokage doesn't need that much investment.

So I cut off an arm and integrated it into my own body. Although this will speed up the breakdown of my body, it is not a big problem this time."

Although White Zetsu's cells are good and have been modified by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, they are definitely not something that ordinary people can use!

Fortunately, Orochimaru has developed the "Reincarnation of the Corpse", and he has already transformed his body a long time ago. Now his body is basically someone else's.

Even if he collapsed, he didn't take it to heart. For him, getting a glimpse of the power of the first generation was his greatest pursuit!

"However, I hope that next time when that body can split, you can prepare an extra one for me."

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"This body is worth studying. At the same time, if I want to better control the power of these guys, I also need a stronger body."

"can."

Obito agreed without hesitation, but even though he agreed, it was hard to say whether he would do it again.

He agreed to it in advance so that he could face the current situation. He wouldn't lose anything anyway.

He didn't know how powerful the first Hokage was, but Orochimaru had made a lot of adjustments, and the first Hokage's aura was extraordinary!
Besides, he didn't need to worry about Orochimaru letting him go and deliberately doing it for the bodies of those White Zetsu.

Ever since the Second Hokage was summoned, there has been no room for easing between Orochimaru and Konoha!
This was the first time he experienced the feeling of winning.
"Then it will be a pleasure to work together."

Orochimaru licked his tongue gently. He could see that Obito had some thoughts on his mind.

But he didn't care, and even saying it out on purpose was not a big deal.

After all, the complexity of some things was beyond his imagination!

But it's not a bad thing for him.

"That black guy looks more interesting than I thought."

Orochimaru licked his lips, but his mind couldn't help but think of a black figure.

But he stood in the middle and didn't have to think too much about it.

The two looked at each other, then nodded at each other involuntarily, seeming to be very satisfied with everything.

But what they were thinking in their hearts was completely different.
"How's it going? How does it feel to be back in Konoha?"

On the other side of the underground cave, Kakuzu's green eyes were fixed on the silent Uchiha Itachi.

"After all, you killed your entire family. I wonder what the ninjas of Konoha think of you."

"I'm afraid the ninjas of Konoha will be very interested in him."

Scorpion adjusted his puppet and said something casually without looking up, but his words were full of sarcasm.

"After all, he killed his entire family and even his own parents. Such a ruthless person is rare in the entire ninja world."

"That's really amazing! I've killed so many people, but I've never killed my own family."

Feidan looked at Uchiha Itachi with some interest, his sickly face full of excitement.

"Hey, tell me what it felt like to kill your own parents. Was it the ultimate pleasure?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes and looked at Feidan with an expressionless but cold gaze.

"Okay, stop talking."

Biwa Juzo sat aside and looked at his teammates speechlessly. It was okay for Kakuzu to just talk nonsense.

Scorpion followed suit and added fuel to the fire, and as a result, Feiduan, who had joined a few years ago, was directly provoked. He had seen such scenes many times.

Although he didn't like people like Uchiha Itachi, he and Uchiha Itachi were teammates, so he could only speak helplessly to ease the atmosphere.

"I don't know what it feels like to kill my parents, but I do know what it feels like to kill my teammates, my friends, and my classmates. Anyway, I can only say that it's very painful."

"That's your Kirigakure problem, the Blood Mist Policy? I've heard of it."

Kakuzu shrugged, then spoke again with malicious intent.

"Come to think of it, it seems that the one who controlled the Mizukage at that time was..."

"That's enough. Let's not talk about the past."

Biwa Juzo really wants to tear Kakuzu's mouth apart now. He is bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic, right?
"Instead of talking about these, it's better to talk more about Konoha's actions this time.

We've been defeated so many times by that Zhiyuan Xiuze. Do you think there's hope this time?"

Is there hope?

This question instantly silenced everyone present. If they thought carefully, it seemed that they had never won since they faced Shihara Hidezawa.

Even though they were the most elite group of ninjas, they lost every time and were beaten until they lost their temper every time.

Is it really okay to ask this question?

"Whether there is hope or not is not up to us, and we are not the key."

However, just when the atmosphere was at its most depressing, Kakuzu suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Konoha's focus is always on those they hate the most, such as Uchiha Obito.

Apart from that, there is Orochimaru, and perhaps our leader is one, but he doesn’t have much to do with us.

Oh, of course, I almost forgot."

Having said that, Kakuzu looked at Uchiha Itachi again, his face full of a smirk.

“When you exterminated your clan, you seemed to focus only on your parents, forgetting that there were others who might be alive.

I'm afraid that woman won't let you go. So, do you have confidence?"

Everyone in the Akatsuki organization looked at Uchiha Itachi again. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Over the years, except for Feiduan, they have accumulated rich experience in failure and have a profound understanding of the ability to run away.

Besides, instead of thinking about themselves, they might as well look at the fun and look at Uchiha Itachi.

This kind of ruthless person is rarely seen once in the entire ninja world.
"No, where's your confidence just now?!"

The Chunin Exams were still going on, and time was running out for the first test.

Ibiki, the chief examiner, began to patrol the hall slowly, but when he came to Naruto, he was stunned for a moment.

He clearly remembered that Naruto was very confident before the exam, so why did he become like this now?
This guy didn't really hand in a blank paper, at least he did write some questions.
But you won’t pass a test like this!

“It’s fatal.”

Ibiki cursed in his heart, Hidezawa had pointed out that they should pay special attention to the "second generation" of Konoha.

The proportion of "second generation" students in this class is extremely high. To be frank, if someone kills these kids, the Fourth World War might break out!
In some senses, what Xiu Ze said about "human relations and worldly wisdom" is indeed correct.
And now, Ibiki really feels the tremendous pressure.

He had already arranged for the invigilators in advance to pay less attention to these little guys.

There was no problem with everyone else, but Naruto had a big mess!
According to the rules, not only Naruto will be eliminated, but even the Uchiha descendants and Uzumaki descendants who are on the same team as Naruto will be implicated and eliminated together.

"If they are eliminated, then..."

Ibiki's eyes were filled with dullness, and at this moment he felt a chill down his spine!
"No, he must pass the test!"

Thinking of this, Ibiki's eyes instantly regained clarity. Looking at Naruto who was sitting in a daze on the chair, he immediately spoke.

"Don't be dazed, hurry up and do the questions, the exam will be over soon!"

He didn't really want to use the 'last question' to deal with it. After all, his brother was forced away by him, which really left a lot of shadows.

"it is good"

Naruto replied with a stutter, he was also going crazy now.

He was not stupid, so when he couldn't write it, he naturally started to think about how to cheat, because this time it was likely to test his ability to collect intelligence.

But he doesn't dare
If he is the only one who bears the consequences, then he will naturally be fearless.

But if he was caught cheating, both Sasuke and Karin would be implicated and expelled from the examination room in public. Such consequences made him unable to make up his mind.

Especially since he saw many people were kicked out of the entire team, this made him even more afraid to act recklessly.

"If I fail the test, I might be the only one eliminated. If I get caught cheating, the whole team will be eliminated!"

There was a chance to choose between one person and the entire team, and Naruto ultimately chose the latter.

Now he could only sit there and think of a solution by himself to see if he could come up with an answer.

However, at this moment
Jingle Bell--

The bell rang to signal the end of the exam. Ibiki stood there in a daze, his face turning paler with each ringing of the bell.

"Oops!"

In an instant, Ibiki turned pale and looked at Naruto, who was also pale.

At this moment, he was really devastated.
"So, the Hokage Assistant is really taking care of you."

In the monitoring room, Xiu Ze had already left, but the senior ninjas were still watching here to see what their students would do.

As a result, they saw Ibiki 'stumbling' towards the podium and announcing the last 'Tenth Question'. Their eyes involuntarily looked at Kakashi.

"I"

Kakashi watched all this in amazement, his head buzzing for a moment.

No, what happened to this guy Naruto? Why didn’t he really write it?
At this moment, he seemed to have no way to defend himself.

He only knew that he was bound to bear the blame.
"I heard that quite a few people were eliminated from this assessment. This exam is really cruel."

Late at night, in the ancestral home of the Senju clan, Xiyan, who had just finished taking a shower, looked at Xiu Ze and couldn't help asking.

"It seems to be stricter than before, and I heard that you went to watch the first exam."

"Ah."

Xiu Ze held Xi Yan in his arms and then chuckled.

“After all, with such a large-scale assessment, we won’t be able to handle it without screening more people.

But overall it's still good. Karin has passed the test. I was worried about her the whole time."

"I hope she'll be alright this time."

Xiyan nodded, but then she found that Xiu Ze's head was buried in her chest, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You're already the Hokage's assistant, why are you still acting so recklessly?"

"You're messing around? Everyone in Konoha knows about your relationship with me, so why are you messing around?"

"Nonsense, only the Anbu people know something."

Xiyan reached out and hugged Xiu Ze, then she asked in a low voice.

"Is it really okay this time?"

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, there will be no problem."

Xiu Ze smiled. He had been waiting for this Chunin Exam for a long time, especially when he saw the name 'Darui' appear.

He knew that his most critical moment had arrived!

After so many years of grinding for points, all the attributes have been basically balanced to LV10, or even higher.

In addition to considering the issues of chakra and physical fitness, the only thing he wants to pursue now is the 'Bloodline Network'!

Storm Release was the key. This time, perhaps he could obtain what he had always dreamed of and thus embark on the long step to godhood that truly belonged to him.
Reaching out and turning off the light, Xiu Ze hugged Xi Yan and got into bed.

"Why don't you go back to your room and wait?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Guang, I noticed her a few times. Hmm."

Before she could finish her words, Xiyan was interrupted.

The moonlight was gradually obscured by clouds, and I didn't dare to look any further.
