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

"No need, they are my friends too."

Ino walked over and sensed the evil and terrifying aura emanating from him. She couldn't help but say, "This power makes you strong, but it also erodes your body and life force. Don't use it anymore."

"..."

Sasuke remained silent, but soon he looked towards the north.

Someone is coming again!

however.

“We have no hostility, but I suggest you give up the exam; your condition is dangerous.”

After saying that, Tian Tian turned and left.

She came over after seeing the signal and being nearby. Now that another team had arrived, she had no intention of getting involved any further.

Dou smiled and said, "I happened to have studied medical medicine. If we're not in a hurry, why don't we wait a bit and allow me to help with the treatment?"

"Alright."

Stop every day.

When Sasuke heard that he was also a medical ninja and a ninja from Konoha, his wariness lessened considerably. After watching him approach and treat the patient, the markings on the patient's body quickly faded away.

The next moment, he felt the "erosion" that Ino had mentioned.

but.

This power is truly immense!

Sasuke remained silent.

He looked down at his companion.

Naruto confronted Orochimaru head-on for his own sake, while Sakura gave up her exams to stand in front of the Sound Ninja...

At this moment, the Chunin Exams and everything else became irrelevant.

just.

He clenched his fist, having made up his mind.

Not long after, the red beans arrived.

"Sorry I'm late, but... who skipped the exam?"

"Our team forfeits."

Sasuke raised his hand, "Please take my teammates to the medical unit for treatment."

"No, you need treatment too."

Red Bean immediately noticed the unusual aura remaining on Sasuke's body.

It looks so much like when her curse seal erupts!

Sasuke encountered Orochimaru?

Damn!

Despite Chiba's warning, they were still too late. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries. Although Sasuke appeared to have used the power of the cursed seal, he was not actually imprinted with it.

The loss wasn't significant.

Unfortunately.

Their class definitely won't pass the exam this year.

Red Bean sighed inwardly, then waved her hand, signaling the ANBU ninjas who were following her to carry them away.

Before leaving, she looked at Shikamaru, Tenten, and the other three with admiration.

"You guys are doing great. Go on with your exams, and be careful not to get delayed on the way."

"Yes!"

After seeing them off, Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but wonder—

It seems that Orochimaru's many actions were all for the sake of Sasuke Uchiha.

but.

Why doesn't Sasuke have a cursed seal?

It must be medication.

Orochimaru traveled a long way just to deliver a trial version of the cursed seal to Sasuke?

What's the point of this?

Hongdou realized she couldn't keep up with her "former teacher's" thought process.

Chapter 172 Danzo, I won't be at peace until you're dead.

"Has the third exam begun?"

"Yes, the Third Hokage and the Kazekage are already on stage waiting for the students to enter. Because your process is quite difficult, there aren't many ninja teams left, so there's no need to rest or arrange a second round."

The Third Hokage dispatched ANBU ninjas.

Chiba listened to the voice thoughtfully. That voice...

Although it was partially disguised, it was undoubtedly Moonlight Hayate.

Was he not the examiner for the third round?

but.

Chiba glanced at the crystal ball beside him, in which was clearly depicting the scene of Hayate Gekko presiding over the exam. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled—

Who's that over there?

Hayate Gekko understood; it was indeed a special communication technique at the mental level. The Yamanaka family seemed to know some of it, but he hadn't expected Chiba to have mastered it as well.

Their collaboration with the research institute is beneficial and harmless.

"Sea Breeze-senpai, isn't it Jiraiya-sama who's taking your place in administering the exam?"

There is only one goal left for me.

"!!!"

"Yes!"

Chiba received an answer and had no more doubts.

He looked around and discovered...

This surprised him somewhat.

When that time comes, the whole village will definitely be in chaos, and he can take advantage of the chaos to use Kotoamatsukami to control Chiba's main body.

The moonlight and the gust of wind instantly made me feel refreshed.

Moonlight and Gale didn't continue for a long time.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had sent Gekko Hayate on a special mission between the three generations.

He forcefully suppressed the urge to cough.

Jiraiya!

Hayate Gekko leaving the village must have received a message from Jiraiya and was ordered to deliver information about Orochimaru.

Is the investment that large?

Could it be that?

A thought struck him, and he communicated with Moonlight Gale using telepathy.

Hayate Gekko was somewhat surprised. Their Gekko family didn't have much of a foundation to begin with. Although they had the Second Hokage's swordsmanship notes, those weren't considered secrets among the Konoha Jonin.

Moonlight Gale suddenly looked up; although he was wearing a mask, he could not hide the intense emotional turmoil within him.

Not to mention Chiba, even Yamanaka Inoichi sensed something was wrong and looked over from a distance, watching Chiba and this ANBU ninja.

Even though they are not as powerful as the Uchiha clan of the past or the Hyuga clan of today, they are still a first-class clan among powerful families, yet they still have to be so humble.

Could it be a covert communication technique?

He pondered to himself.

"Senior Hayate, is that you?"

"Yes, the Third Hokage is protected by guards and is very safe now, so you don't need to worry. On the other hand, the Hokage is worried that something might happen to you, so he ordered me to assist you."

The others seemed not to have heard, but Haiyi seemed to feel that something was amiss.

With Jiraiya back, it's no wonder the Third Hokage was so confident. Even knowing that Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage might be a threat to him, he still calmly allowed the Kazekage to approach him.

and so.

After much deliberation, just as Gekko Hayate was pondering how to report to Chiba, Chiba asked again, "Is the Third Hokage's safety guaranteed?"

Chiba nodded.

There is only one person in the entire ninja world who values ​​and trusts the Third Hokage so highly.

It's definitely different.

"Yes, you stay here and help protect the Daimyo."

Jiraiya might not return for other matters, but as one of the Legendary Sannin, he couldn't possibly not go back to the village to check on Orochimaru.

Danzo was waiting for the right opportunity.

Danzo Shimura!

With that in mind, he used telepathy to communicate.

Yamanakaya...

The timing of Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage's attack.
