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

Page 97

I wish I had known it would be delayed for another six months.

Kakashi felt a little regretful; he shouldn't have agreed to Chiba's request and allowed him to participate in the Chunin Exams because of Naruto.

Too dangerous!

"Ok."

Chiba didn't correct Kakashi's misunderstanding because he remembered he had another technique—

The art of telescopes.

As long as Kakashi doesn't leave the village, he can hold out for a while even if the opponent is Orochimaru, until Might Guy arrives from this side.

Kakashi and Kaito are so formidable that even Orochimaru would have to temporarily avoid their attacks.

Matt Kai is nearby.

Kakashi left and then he arrived, and Chiba had no suspicions.

Kai's aura cannot be faked.

So unique!

But at this moment, he was unusually serious.

"Chiba, what exactly is wrong with Kakashi?"

"Come in first."

Once inside, he discovered that his shadow clone was already working.

A protective barrier was drawn inside the room.

This is?

"A technique to isolate sound and probe, avoiding exposure."

Chiba explained.

Kai entered, closed the door, and then his clone formed hand seals to complete the final step.

There was a mirror on the table, and the main body formed another seal.

A moment later, the image in the mirror appeared—

Kakashi was knocking on the door at that moment.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a Sunagakure ninja walked out.

Is he the Chunin who has been leading the team since yesterday?

He went to find the Sand Village ninja?

why?

Kai looked completely bewildered and confused.

The same question arose regarding Yoshiyuki, a Chunin from Sunagakure, who was also in the scene.

Chapter 86 Remarks on the launch

It should be available around noon today.

I discussed it with the editor last week, and we were supposed to have a backlog of chapters ready for release, but then...

I tested positive the next day, and I'm still not better now; I have a terrible cough.

I haven't been feeling well these past few days. I started feeling groggy, then had a severe cough on the second day. I got some medicine yesterday and felt a little better, so I'm starting to write again.

The previous three books were all system-based, so for this one, I decided to try something without a system.

In essence, it's still the same, but without a system, many plot points seem to be more coherent.

We're still figuring things out.

Whether it's good or bad is unknown at the moment, but at least it can be written in a way that's somewhat interesting.

In the previous three volumes, Naruto didn't appear until much later, so this volume is planned to be written closer to give him a chance to appear. Of course, he still doesn't have much screen time in the first volume.

Naruto's generation will have more screen time, at least until the second volume.

However, the main focus is still on the protagonist's side.

I hope everyone will like this fanfiction.

Thank you to all the generous donors who gave rewards, voted, and followed the book. Without you, this book wouldn't have reached Sanjiang.

During this special period, I cannot promise to update too many times.

I will do my best, I'll start before dawn.

I will definitely update more when I can, but I will still prioritize quality.

finally--

Please subscribe!

Chapter 87 Orochimaru: I've been exposed? Impossible!

Orochimaru was completely bewildered.

He never expected Kakashi to come looking for him at this time, even though he seemed harmless...

Such behavior is quite unexpected.

This step was not included in the plan!

but.

He was one of the legendary Sannin, and his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was extremely strong.

"Kakashi, Jonin, is there anything I can help you with?"

Orochimaru maintained the proper posture to reveal his identity.

Kakashi chuckled, scratched his head sheepishly, and said, "You know, there are a few girls in our team, but it seems there's no place to shower in the rooms..."

"I'm very sorry, but water is a precious resource in Sunagakure, and we don't have the facilities to equip every room with a bathroom."

It was all by sheer chance.

Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement. "It's Chiba-kun, isn't it? What a clever kid."

If it's not illusion manipulation, then what is it?

Kakashi, you son of a bitch!

Could it be a simple mental illness?

Or……

So fast!

"Hum hum."

impossible!

My disguise was perfect; how could someone like Kakashi see through it?

Do not!

wrong.

This guy is definitely not a Chunin!

"Who are you?"

"After Minato, you are the only person in Konoha who can be considered a big shot, but with your abilities, you are not capable of seeing through my disguise."

"Let Kai be with you" doesn't mean having Kai accompany Chiba, but rather having Kai accompany him.

Orochimaru was dumbfounded, his thoughts in complete disarray.

"you are?"

Furthermore.

So brave.

He seemed to have heard that name somewhere before…

Looking up, he saw the spinning three-tomoe jade.

???

Great!

Kakashi's palms were sweating as he focused his energy to cope with Orochimaru's oppressive aura.

"Orochimaru! You're Orochimaru!"

Kakashi's expression changed drastically.
