Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

However, upon hearing that the assembly time was a full seven days, he, being a miser, couldn't resist.

On the way to the Land of Water, I accepted another mission.

However, the time required to complete this Class C mission far exceeded their expectations.

So after completing their mission, they immediately began heading towards the venue.

We rushed along the way and finally arrived at our destination on the last day.

However, as soon as they reached the edge of the arena, they heard the boy in the rain hat making a provocative remark.

Seeing Tsunade's displeased look, Kagura immediately said those words, showing her quick wit.

With the appearance of Kagura and the others, the expressions on the faces of everyone present changed in different ways.

First, the people of Konoha.

They naturally knew Kagura and her senior classmates.

Even the Hokage himself acknowledged the strength of this legendary Team 7.

If it weren't for Kagura's obsession with making money, she wouldn't have missed the Chunin Exams the first two times because she was doing missions.

They wouldn't have to be reduced to taking the exam with their own graduating class.

So when they saw Kagura and the others, the other Konoha genin all showed a hint of relief on their faces.

Even the Konoha boy involved had completely lost his anger.

Instead, he had a peaceful expression on his face.

The crowd that had been subtly surrounding the boy in the rain hat slowly retreated, making way for him.

They had absolute faith in Kagura and the others.

The sheer number of people from Kirigakure in front of them didn't seem to pose any threat whatsoever.

Not far away, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who were all doing their own thing, all turned their eyes toward Kagura the moment she appeared.

Under the Mizukage's specific instructions, they naturally conducted a detailed investigation into this rival from Konoha.

However, as the investigation progressed and the more they learned about this person, the more they felt uneasy about his strength.

The moment they truly faced Kagura, their ninja instincts told them that the person before them might be even stronger than they had investigated.

Meanwhile, in Kumogakure, Tsuchishiro stared intently at Kagura's figure with a solemn expression.

As the only prodigy of this generation in Kumogakure, he has always been a steady and reliable person.

Although his strength far surpasses that of his peers, he never underestimates any opponent.

However, Kagura's appearance still made him, who was usually so composed, feel immense pressure.

"This is...

he is...

There's no mistake, he's the one in the rumors.

monster!"

Meanwhile, from the Hidden Mist Village, where everyone was gathered, a series of discussions could be heard.

They had obviously heard of Kagura's reputation as a "monster," and they were also aware that this "monster" would be taking the same exam as them.

Then there's his handsome face with black hair and black eyes, and his distinctive attire.

Although no one present said Kagura's name, many of the genin from Kirigakure recognized him.

As Kagura and the others slowly approached, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on the face of the boy in the rain hat.

Although Kagura didn't do anything special, I can't help but think of all his deeds.

As the ordinary figure drew closer, it seemed to become a giant shadow pressing down on his heart.

Kagura and the others stopped a few meters away from him.

Kagura picked at her ear with her right pinky finger while looking up at the people from Kirigakure.

His gaze seemed to carry an inexplicable weight, and as he looked up, everyone in Kirigakure took a step back in unison.

The boy in the rain hat, who had also taken a step back, seemed to be enraged by his own cowardly behavior.

He gritted his teeth and took another step forward, forcing himself to look Kagura directly into her eyes as he said:

"you...

What do you want?

Kagura pulled her right pinky finger out of her ear and gently blew away the earwax.

He looked at the person in front of him as if he were a fool and replied:

"Are you fucking deaf?"

"Didn't I just say that I want you to repeat what you just said?"

Upon hearing Kagura's request, the boy in the rain hat suddenly turned pale.

But actually, Kagura wasn't playing a trick on him; she was telling the truth.

They just arrived at the scene. He has Sharingan, but not Sharingan ears.

How could he have heard the conversation from so far away?

He vaguely heard the words "Konoha" and looked over from afar, seeing the people wearing Konoha headbands and the people from Kirigakure standing there.

Without needing to ask further, he guessed roughly what had happened, which is why he spoke up to interrupt the standoff.

However, when faced with Kagura's question, the amegasa boy took it as a provocation.

But faced with this legendary "monster," he found himself lacking the courage to actually repeat what he had just said.

His face turned pale and then red, whether from anger at his own weakness or from hatred for Konoha, he suddenly erupted.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly pulled out a short sword from behind him.

He roared angrily:

"I'll fight you!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed towards Kagura.

Kagura did not react to the sudden attack.

Amidst the boy in the rain hat's bloodthirsty smile, he swung the blade in his hand fiercely toward Kagura's head.

However, when faced with this attack, not only Kagura, but also Tsunade and the other two behind him seemed to be unable to see it.

He remained calmly standing in the same spot.

Just as the blade was only centimeters from Kagura's head, the seemingly unstoppable short blade suddenly stopped.

The boy in the rain hat looked terrified, as if he had seen something horrifying.

However, his body seemed to have been frozen in place, as if someone had struck his pressure points, and he remained motionless in his slashing posture.

Looking at the boy in the rain hat, his eyes darted around, filled with fear.

Kagura, whose eyes had somehow transformed into Sharingan, said with dissatisfaction:

"Are you ninjas from Kirigakure sick?"

I was just asking a question. If you don't want to answer, then you don't have to.

"You actually pulled out a knife and tried to attack me without warning?"

The boy in the rain hat could clearly hear him. His eyes darted around, and cold sweat was already beading on his forehead.

But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't control his body.

He felt as if his body didn't belong to him; even with all his strength, he couldn't move a single finger.

Just then, a figure flashed, and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appeared in front of Kagura.

This person has short black hair, no eyebrows, sharp teeth, and a large cross-shaped scar on the right side of their face.

His ears and neck were wrapped in bandages. The lower half of his face was painted with red stripes.

He carried a massive decapitation sword on his back, a weapon disproportionate to his height.

It was none other than the first user of the Broken Blade, the Executioner's Blade—Juzo Biwa.

His figure appeared between Kagura and the boy in the rain hat.

He turned his head away to avoid eye contact with Kagura.

He was clearly aware that Kagura possessed genjutsu (illusionary techniques) that could be used through the Sharingan, and that's why he did this.

Pipa Juzo spoke up:

"I apologize to you for the actions of this useless village of Kirigakure."

But this is, after all, a land of water, and he is, after all, one of the people from our village.

If he really needs to be punished, it should be us who do it.

Without waiting for Kagura's response, he suddenly kicked the immobilized boy in the rain hat, sending him flying.

The boy's figure flew dozens of meters away, crashed into a tree trunk, and bounced back to the ground.

After doing all this, he spoke again:

"I wonder if this will express our sincerity?"

Seeing what Juzo was doing, Kagura gave him a meaningful look.

Noticing his gaze, Juzo Biwa tilted his head even further to the side.

After a few seconds of deep thought, Kagura chuckled softly, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the white building.

With a soft laugh, the boy in the rain hat, who had been kicked to the ground, finally let out a cry of pain.

He clutched his stomach, which had been kicked, curled up in a ball, and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

However, no one paid attention to him at this moment; instead, they were looking in Kagura's direction.

Kagura stopped in front of the tightly closed doors of the white building.
