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

Yamanaka Inoichi explained.

What if it succeeds?

Just like this time, Orochimaru improved his infiltration ability and concealed his mental flaws.

Orochimaru probably didn't expect that Chiba understood his intentions from the very beginning.

What's the benefit of arresting Orochimaru?

It would be too easy to capture him, but his target was never Orochimaru.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

Now is not the time to seize the opportunity.

There aren't many opportunities like this.

Orochimaru truly understands Konoha very well, making it easy for him to exploit loopholes. Even though he expanded and improved upon some aspects, it is still essentially a sensory barrier.

He repeatedly caused trouble to distract himself from the Chunin Exams and to help him manipulate Sasuke.

Chiba didn't think he could win in one battle, but this type of combat ninjutsu could never be improved without being used, and besides...

Chiba closed his eyes to conserve his energy.

Hai Yi was speechless.

Danzo was waiting for the right opportunity, as were he and the Third Hokage; it was a matter of who could hold back first.

just.

He couldn't help with the work, and he didn't trust anyone else to watch over Orochimaru. He could kill this guy and he could revive; he was like a piece of chewing gum.

That guy's purpose is obvious.

If Danzo is not close enough, and the distance is too far, it will be impossible to use mental energy to synchronize. It is uncertain whether he can kill or seriously injure Danzo directly with his mental energy on his own.

but.

but.

hold on.

Chiba nodded and said nothing more.

The Yamanaka family is not short of money, and if this were discovered, it would greatly damage the Yamanaka clan's status and reputation. Yamanaka Inoichi would never do such a thing unless he was as stupid as a pig.

The second examination room.

What can you do with a little bit of money?

……

"That's not entirely true, but Orochimaru is very familiar with Konoha's barrier. Apart from me, it's difficult for others to detect the subtle changes in chakra within the barrier."

After a moment of contemplation, Haiyi sent a telepathic message: "I suspect that the Daimyo also came here because of Danzo's scheme. Because of the Daimyo's arrival, I had no choice but to bring people here."

Sakura Haruno gripped her kunai tightly, her eyes fixed on the three people in front of her.

Once Danzo is killed, there will be no more fear or worry.

She remembered the headband.

Sound Ninja.

"Hehe, so you're a Konoha ninja. I remember you; you didn't plagiarize at all, yet you were writing furiously. You must have known the answer beforehand!"

Qin, one of the three, stepped forward. "Hmph, Konoha's methods are truly disgusting."

"Let's make our move while her teammates are still unable to act. She's fired a flare; someone will be here soon."

"Toss said calmly."

but.

He quickly glanced at the other two and frowned.

Illusion?

Tos instantly dispelled the illusion, and the next second, he saw three Sakura Haruno leading several Naruto and Sasuke in three different directions.

He helped Qin and Sak break the illusion.

follow closely……

shhhhh!

"left."

Thanks to her powerful chakra manipulation talent, Sakura Haruno's clone technique and transformation technique are perfect, but unfortunately, the Sound Ninja's detection doesn't require the naked eye at all.

Under sonic detection, it was clear that the illusion's clone technique and transformation technique could not fool Toth at all.

Seeing that her cover had failed, Sakura Haruno tried her best to escape, but she knew that she couldn't outrun three Sound Ninjas even if she tried to fight two of them.

The only chance is—

Find a relatively safe location and protect them as much as possible, delaying them until the rescuers or Naruto and Sasuke wake up.

Before that, Sakura Haruno forced herself to calm down, sensed her surroundings, and then quickly changed position and headed towards the Konoha team.

It's always better to lose to your own people than to lose to someone else.

In that direction.

Choji used his partially multiplying technique to support Ino as he ran, while Ino used her secret technique to sense and probe.

follow closely……

"Sakura and the others are being chased by the Sound Ninja. Sasuke and Naruto are in bad shape and seem to be unconscious."

"How to do?"

Ino looked at Shikamaru.

In their team, Shikamaru is the decision-maker.

Shikamaru frowned, his expression grave: "Something unexpected may have happened in the examination hall."

"What do you mean?"

Choji and Ino were momentarily stunned.

"Class 7's teamwork wasn't great before, but that's only relative to us. Compared to other classes, their overall strength is definitely much stronger."

As Shikamaru ran, he said, "I dare say there aren't many people in the entire exam hall who could make them suffer like this."

"what do you mean?"

"I don't know, but something feels off. Let's go check it out."

"it is good."

Ino jumped off Choji's arm, and the three of them sped up.

When they arrived, they witnessed a tragic and horrifying scene—

Sakura Haruno lay on the ground, blood streaming from her face. But compared to her, the three from Otogakure were in even worse shape; one of them had both arms torn off.

Sasuke stepped on his neck, and blood spilled from the man's mouth.

Not far from him, the woman knelt on the ground, struggling to get up, but...

next second.

Bang!

Sasuke kicked her, sending her flying. She crashed heavily into a large tree, right in the direction Ino and the others were heading.

Ino glanced at it briefly.

Judging from the degree of deformation, the kick just now broke her spine, and the impact with the tree caused secondary damage.

Unless Lady Tsunade intervenes or Chiba-senpai helps with bone setting, there is no way to treat it.

but.

Could a mere genin from the Sound Village possibly persuade two such individuals to join him?

Obviously impossible.

She looked up and saw that Sasuke's body was covered with strange patterns, and he exuded a terrifying aura of chakra.

"Sasuke, you..."

"What, you're also eyeing our spoils?"

Sasuke pulled the scroll from the corpse.

The second test was simple; you only needed to find at least one intelligence scroll based on the answers to the first test to pass.

of course.

You can also steal from others.

“We’ve already obtained one intelligence scroll, so we don’t need a second one. However, your condition is not good, and Sakura just signaled that she was giving up on the exam. She also urgently needs treatment.”

Shikamaru calmly stepped forward to respond, "Ino knows some medical ninjutsu."

Sasuke's situation is clearly not right. If the conflict is escalated at this point, the situation may worsen.

Tos stood to the side, not daring to say a word, raising his hand and watching Sasuke warily.

Orochimaru ordered them to kill Sasuke, but the situation is now...

If he dares to utter a single word, he'll be the one who dies.

but.

When Sasuke heard that Sakura had given up the exam—

Bang!

He was also kicked away.

"come on."

Sasuke's tone was icy, then his expression stiffened for a moment before softening considerably, "Thank you for coming to help. Sakura and Naruto are in your care."
