I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"do not know."

"Hey Kakashi, right now our duel is more important!"

"Let's use the battle between Team 7 and Team 3 as the standard to judge the outcome!"

"Let's settle this with a battle between your Class 7 and my Class 3!"

Might Guy spoke excitedly, but Kakashi frowned, ignoring Might Guy's excitement, and said seriously, "I'm asking you, do you think that boy looks like a spy?"

"spy?"

Matt Kai froze, staring wide-eyed at the bespectacled boy.

The bespectacled boy was squatting in the corner, glancing around from time to time while fiddling with cards in his hand.

"Oh, he's just a kid who makes ninja cards."

After seeing the card, Might Guy waved his hand and said, "A childish card game, I don't know where it came from."

"It seems there are some battle points on it, and then the two ninjas holding the cards need to shout out a duel phrase, what was it again..."

"DUEL?"

Kakashi paused, wondering why it felt a bit like Chiaki's handiwork.

Strange words would occasionally slip from her mouth, words that were incomprehensible to most people...

"There are many kids like this in Konoha. Let's watch the fight, Kakashi!"

Might Guy passed Kakashi and forcibly pressed his head down, turning him towards the battle between Team 7 and Team 3.

At this moment, Rock Lee had accepted Naruto's provocation and assumed a fighting stance.

The two engaged in a rapid-fire battle, but just like in the original story, Rock Lee's taijutsu skills were far beyond Naruto's ability to counter. In a series of combos, Naruto was completely overwhelmed.

However, Naruto at this point was not at the level of the original story; his ability to take a beating and his combat skills had been trained to be quite good.

Even though Rock Lee used him as a punching bag, Naruto completely withstood it, and even stood up unsteadily, grinned, and created a shadow clone to prepare to make a Rasengan.

But the next moment, Sasuke suddenly grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear.

The gist is that the secret weapon should be kept for later; it shouldn't be revealed so early, as many people are watching.

Naruto snapped out of his daze and gritted his teeth, handing the battle opportunity to Sasuke.

"Kakashi, isn't that your most prized student?"

Might Guy grinned, "Li is also my most outstanding disciple. Let's see how their battle goes!"

Might Guy didn't care at all about Naruto's defeat.

In his view, it was normal for Naruto, who was always at the bottom of the class, to lose; he should just keep trying.

On the other hand, Sasuke, representing the highest strength of Team 7, should focus on fighting his own Rock Lee to determine the victor.

However, Kakashi, who had initially been somewhat interested, shook his head after Sasuke entered the arena, turned around, left a message, and went to find the bespectacled boy.

“You win this time, Kai.”

"Eh?"

Chapter 600 Family Affection Turns sour

Sasuke, who dares not use his ultimate move, is like a toothless tiger. Even with the support of the Sharingan, it would still be quite difficult for him to fight against Rock Lee.

Rock Lee's strength is already close to that of a Chunin; he only needs a trigger to break through.

Unfortunately, he cannot use ninjutsu, and his chakra content is lower than that of ordinary people. He can only rely on taijutsu to break through. Otherwise, with his talent and ability, he could have broken through to Chunin like Neji.

Sasuke's situation is more complicated. Without the Sharingan, he would only be a genin. With the help of the Sharingan, he can barely reach the level of a chunin.

However, with his half-baked Sharingan with only two tomoe, he still couldn't compare to a ninja like Rock Lee who relied on taijutsu to charge in.

Throughout history, body cultivators have always been invincible among their peers; however, the cultivation of body cultivators is correspondingly much more difficult.

While Might Guy was shouting and yelling as Rock Lee defeated Sasuke with a Leaf-Slaying Barrage, Kakashi had already quietly crept up to the bespectacled boy.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura..."

The boy with glasses pushed up his glasses and started scribbling something in his notebook.

"Combat power 1500, 2000, 1900..."

"Defense..."

"Star rating..."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Kakashi suddenly spoke up and placed his hand on the shoulder of the boy wearing glasses.

"what!"

The bespectacled boy was startled, turned around innocently, and looked at Kakashi with horror.

"I...I was playing a ninja card game..."

"Ninja cards?"

Kakashi stared at the bespectacled boy and took the notebook from his hand.

Sure enough, the notebook only contained some strange and unusual values.

"What's your name?"

Kakashi glanced through his notebook and the cards tucked inside, muttered a few words, and then handed it back to the bespectacled boy.

"My name is Kabuto, Yakushi Kabuto."

The bespectacled boy, Kabuto Yakushi, pushed up his round-framed glasses, squinted at Kakashi, and smiled, "Kakashi-sensei, just like what Lord Chiaki said, you have a very poor sense of vigilance."

"?"

Kakashi was startled, then suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and began to feel dizzy.

poison? !

He hurriedly activated his chakra, trying to suppress the poison, but Kabuto handed him a bottle and held it to his nose, saying, "Don't use chakra to detoxify; it will only make things worse."

"This is the antidote; just smell it and you'll feel better."

Kakashi did as he was told, sniffed the bottle in Kabuto's hand, and looked at Kabuto with lingering fear after his mind cleared.

"Good lad... how did you do that?"

He had remembered that in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there was only one person with the surname Yakushi, and he was someone who was quite close to Chiaki.

Yakushi Nonou, the director of the Konoha Orphanage, was once Chiaki's secretary and is Konoha's number one pharmaceutical genius.

This is Kabuto Yakushi, who must be the little guy who followed behind Nono Yakushi back then. He's grown up so much now; I'm glad I didn't recognize him.

"It's very simple. Lady Chiaki asked me to look after Team 7 and report the results to her after the Chunin Exams."

Dou smiled, his eyes narrowed. "I think I might already have something to report."

Kakashi was speechless. "Does that mean I'm also within their purview?"

"Of course, Kakashi-sensei is also in Team 7."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. "I'm the inventor of ninja cards. I think Kakashi-sensei, your stats should be lowered in the next update."

"According to Lord Qianqiu, this should be version 1.13."

"Hey!"

Kakashi grabbed Kabuto's head and shook it, "Don't lower the rank, understand?"

"Please don't shake my head, Kakashi-sensei."

Kabuto pushed Kakashi's hand away in distress. "I will also report this truthfully to Lord Chiaki."

"Tch, what a troublesome brat."

Kakashi put one hand in his pocket, dispelling his previous impression of Kabuto.

This kid isn't a spy; he's just developing a card game according to Chiaki's wishes, just like Might Guy said.

"Alright, you can continue now."

Kakashi scratched his head. "By the way, are you going to participate in the Chunin Exams this year?"

"Yes, I am a genin of Konoha now."

Kabuto bowed slightly to Kakashi. "However, Lord Chiaki said that I am not suitable to participate in the Chunin Exams."

"Indeed, you should tone it down a bit, lest the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu think you're a spy."

Kakashi said with lingering fear, "This kid managed to charm me without me even realizing it. If he had that kind of skill in the Chunin Exams, he'd probably be killing a bunch of kids in a heartbeat."

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei."

Kabuto spoke obediently to Kakashi, looking every bit like a well-behaved student.

Although Kakashi felt something was off, he gave up on tracing Kabuto's origins with Chiaki's help.

After watching Kakashi leave, Kabuto, expressionless, pushed up his glasses and returned to the corner.

Da da da

A pair of beautiful legs encased in black and wearing high heels approached Dou's side. A fervent glint flashed in Dou's eyes as he looked up at the stunning woman.

"Kabuto, your performance this time was not good. You need to reflect on it."

The beautiful woman held a slender cigarette between her fingers and touched her forehead with her finger.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Kabuto obediently lowered his head. "I was too anxious. I didn't expect Kakashi's observation skills to be so outstanding."

"Heh, don't underestimate any ninja. Even if he's just a genin, he could still pose a threat to a Kage-level ninja."

Orochimaru elegantly exhaled a smoke ring and charmingly ruffled Kabuto's hair. "However, your on-the-spot reaction this time was quite good. Your method of using Chiaki to scare Kakashi away deserves praise."

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru~"

Kabuto's fanaticism was even greater; he had come to Orochimaru's side as an assistant long ago.
