Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

The opponent's strength far exceeded his own; they were simply toying with him.

The final words also proved this point.

If he were not the son of the fourth generation, he would probably be dead by now, just like his companions.

This made Kankuro feel somewhat ashamed.

"Iaijutsu".

Maki squinted and said, "Konoha has actually produced a master of Iaijutsu!"

"Iai?"

"It's a type of swordsmanship; it's normal that you don't understand it."

Maki took a few steps forward and then saw a signal flare light up in the distance.

He was silent for a few seconds.

"Let's go and have a look."

Maki led Kankuro over, and then they saw the severely injured Sand Village ninja.

The medical team on the side was doing their best to treat him.

"Have we run into the Hyuga clan? But their injuries don't seem to be typical of the Hyuga Gentle Fist."

"Ah."

Maki's eyes darkened, then he sighed softly, "Do you know why the village wants to kill Yagyu Chiba?"

"Because he's strong."

Kankuro answered.

"Heh, he's not the only one who's powerful. Konoha's physique, wealth, and foundation are there for all to see, and every generation has produced outstanding geniuses."

Maki sneered.

He paused for a second before continuing, "What's most terrifying about this person is that he created and improved many things, further strengthening Konoha's foundation."

"He's only thirteen years old, isn't he?!"

Kankuro was extremely surprised.

How could it be less than a year after graduation...

"So he's a genius, and I think this kind of soft fist must also be his creation."

If the Hyuga clan had thought of this, they wouldn't still be stuck in the same old ways today.

Maki didn't believe that Hyuga had that ability.

He felt extremely heavy-hearted.

It seems...

The Hidden Sand Village is definitely going to lose face.

"I'm going to see Lord Kazekage. You go with them and quickly get the wounded to the medical ward."

"Yes!"

Kankuro lowered his head.

When he looked up, Maki had vanished without a trace.

Upon returning, he immediately met with the Fourth Kazekage.

When Luo Sha saw Ma Ji, he knew that the battle situation had probably exceeded his expectations.

"How about it?"

"Kankuro is out, and Yagyu Chiba is the one to make the move."

Maki thought for a moment and said, "If Kankuro wasn't lying, I feel that Yagyu Chiba now might be comparable to Kakashi back in the day."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha closed his eyes in anguish.

Kakashi, a twelve-year-old Jonin, and during wartime no less.

A ninja in peacetime is comparable to a genius honed by war...

This is too unreasonable!

Why!

Rasa became even more determined to implement the "Konoha Crush Plan".

If Konoha continues to develop, Sunagakure will have no chance and will become like other small ninja villages, existing only as vassals of Konoha.

"Go and issue the order that I, Rasa, recommend Yagyu Chiba as a Jonin."

"what?"

Maki was stunned.

"You heard that right."

As he spoke, Luo Sha wrote a document, in which he wrote a very formal recommendation, lavishing praise upon the author.

"Yes, I understand."

There are only four watches today, five watches tomorrow.

Chapter 96 Exemption from the Exam, Neji's Determination [First Update]

"what?"

Chiba arrived at the tower, opened the sealed book, and was about to head to the third examination hall when…

Two ANBU ninjas arrived in an instant.

One was an ANBU ninja from Konoha, and the other was from Sunagakure.

"Yagyu Chiba, your exam is over."

"what?"

Tenten and Kazusa were surprised and shocked, "Why?!"

Chiba was also taken aback.

Killing two amateur puppeteers should disqualify you from the exam?

Tenten and Kazusa were naturally happy for Chiba.

"Yes, that cut..."

"Cough, Chiba, your strength really doesn't need to be tested."

"Chiba."

"instinct!"

A thirteen-year-old Jonin in peacetime...

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said, "That puppeteer is quite skilled. As the son of the Fourth Hokage, he only participated in the Chunin Exams this year."

Chiba was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Although he only fought once, the strength he displayed made Rasa feel that he was too strong.

Luo Sha's suggestion was merely a recommendation; whether or not it was adopted ultimately depended on the Konoha authorities.

He took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?"

Kakashi and Tenzo came over.

Chiba left with the Konoha ANBU ninja.

Upon seeing Kakashi, Chiba sighed and said sincerely, "Teacher, I tried my best. I really tried to be humble."

Chiba sighed silently.

This is putting him on the hot seat!

but.

A thirteen-year-old Jonin.

Chiba took out his notebook and turned to the page about puppets.

understood!

Did Luo Sha do something strange?

"It looks like it's meant to be used in conjunction with the one on the right."

Chiba's participation in the Chunin Exams was, to be honest, a bit of bullying.

That is when another unexpected event occurred.

"That's right. Lord Rasa believes that your strength and overall abilities have reached the level of a Jonin, and you can directly pass the exam to be promoted to Jonin."

To be honest, I have mixed feelings.

Tian Tian and Kazusa nodded.

The Sand Village's ANBU ninja relayed the Fourth Kazekage's orders.

impossible.

Simply put, he won't be allowed to play any more games.

"Ah."

"Those two puppets were also specially made."

"A very detailed puppet."

This is truly extraordinary; when he sensed danger, he instinctively drew his sword.

Kai decided not to join in the fun.
