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

"Alright, I've been freed from control, and there's no point in continuing to fight you."

"Could you please let me out of here first?"

However, upon hearing his words, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other man exchanged a glance but dared not make any move.

Seeing this, Yagura Karatachi smiled helplessly and continued:

"I've really regained my senses. If you keep dragging this out, the Jonin from our village might come rushing over soon."

By then, it might have been too late for me to stop it.

Perhaps it was because they thought he was right, or perhaps it was because they trusted Kagura.

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to unlock the Vajra Prison Wall.

The Enma reverted to its original form and stood beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at Yagura Karatachi with a wary expression.

Seeing this, Yagura Karatachi didn't mind and slowly started walking forward.

As he passed by Kagura's fallen body, he couldn't help but cast a glance at the genin.

As if recalling his previous experience inside the body, he said to Hiruzen Sarutobi:

"Your Konoha has a very promising future."

After saying this, he walked straight past the two of them and headed towards the Jonin of Kirigakure not far away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but smile with pride as he received the praise.

When Yagura Karatachi arrived at the battlefield between Raikage A and the Jonin, the battle was raging fiercely.

With no more restrictions, A smiled from the bottom of his heart, while several Jonin lay motionless at his feet.

However, despite his earlier threats of disregarding life and death, he clearly held back subconsciously.

At least from the heaving chests of those people, it was clear that those who lay down were still alive.

Just as he was in the heat of battle, Yagura's cold voice came from behind him:

"All Jonin of Kirigakure, listen to my command and stop immediately!"

It must be said that obeying orders is in a ninja's nature.

After Yagura's not-so-loud voice rang out, all the Jonin present immediately stopped their attacks.

Just as he thought he had finished warming up, Raikage Ai suddenly realized that no one was in front of him. He looked around in confusion and finally saw Yagura Karatachi behind him.

He squinted, then said as if suddenly realizing something:

"That Sarutobi kid succeeded?"

So you control...”

Before he could finish speaking, Yagura Karatachi interrupted him with an annoyed look:

"Alright, it's all over now. I'll give you an explanation later."

Having said that, he ignored A and instead gave orders to the group of Jonin:

"Alright, you can all step back now and maintain order at the scene."

The bald examiner in the lead hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered the courage to ask:

"Lord Mizukage, are you alright?"

But we just saw you...

Before he could finish speaking, Yagura Kojiki angrily slapped his shiny bald head.

Yagura, looking displeased, said:

"What's it to you? Can't a few of us just dabble in it on a whim?"

Why are you making such a fuss over there, and why did you gather so many people here?

"You and all these people, get the hell out of here!"

Clearly, given his already arrogant nature, he couldn't possibly admit that he, as the Mizukage, had been controlled by Madara Uchiha using genjutsu on the spot.

That's why he was about to interrupt Raikage A.

Ai was no fool, and sensing something was amiss, he crossed his arms and watched silently as Yagura reprimanded his subordinate.

Thus, the Chunin Exams came to an end in this farce.

As a party of Konoha and Kumogakure, they left the Land of Water satisfied after Yagura offered substantial compensation.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Aya did not dwell on the matter of compensation.

After all, they were well aware that Yagura Karatachi, as the Mizukage, would likely face many troubles after losing the Three-Tails.

And so, Kagura, still unconscious, was carried away from the Land of Water.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Kagura learned the whole story and couldn't help but sigh with relief.

In his view, the fact that they were able to survive Madara Uchiha's scheme was already their greatest victory.

"correct!"

Just as Kagura was feeling sentimental, Tsunade, who was beside him, suddenly smiled at him and congratulated him:

Congratulations on your promotion to Chunin!

Chapter 77 Uchiha Clan Chief

Congratulations on your promotion to Chunin!

As Tsunade offered her congratulations, Jiraiya and Orochimaru proudly puffed out their chests.

Seeing this, how could Kagura not know that his friends had also been promoted to Chunin?

A grand Chunin Exam turned into a farce, but the proper evaluation and results still had to be given.

On the eve of their departure, the Raikage, Hokage, and Mizukage held a brief meeting.

Finally, the three decided to use each candidate's performance during the unexpected incident as the basis for the final selection.

Kagura, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru all performed exceptionally well in their battle against Tobi, undoubtedly earning the unanimous approval of the three.

As for Tsuchishiro, he also played an outstanding role during the war and eventually earned the right to be promoted.

As for the others...

Unsurprisingly, he was not selected in the end.

This time, even if the Mizukage wanted to show favoritism, there was nothing he could do.

Those few people from Kirigakure just stood by with their arms crossed and watched the whole battle from start to finish.

Even if you just pretended to fight Kagura and the others, that would have been fine.

Ultimately, Konoha Village emerged as the biggest winner, with four members being promoted to Chunin.

Although there is only one Hidden Cloud Village, seeing the smile on A's face before he left is enough to make one feel gratified.

As for Kirigakure, the organizer, they could only swallow their bitter defeat.

However, this also led Yagura Karatachi to secretly decide in his heart when announcing the results that he would subject these genin to even more rigorous special training.

Especially those seven... ah, no.

Especially those six Ninja Swordsmen, he had already devised a hellish training plan in his mind.

At this moment, Juzo Biwa and the others had no idea that because of a previous misjudgment, they would soon be living a terrifying life...

Kagura's coma this time was only due to physical and mental exhaustion, and there were no external injuries.

So he was able to be discharged from the hospital and return home the day after he woke up.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade and the others, Kagura looked at the small house in front of her, which, although cramped, made her feel at ease, and her body finally felt relaxed.

Having been away from home for almost half a month, the room was now covered in a layer of dust.

After putting down her luggage, Kagura thought for a moment, then rolled up her sleeves and began cleaning the room.

Kagura was extremely grateful that his house was not very large, and he completed the basic cleaning in just half an hour.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Kagura felt a surge of joy as she looked at the noticeably renovated house.

He wasn't a germaphobe, but he was someone who had certain standards for life.

He doesn't expect his living space to be spotless, but it should at least be kept at a minimum level of cleanliness.

He looked out the window; it was nearly evening, and the sun was beginning to dip close to the distant horizon.

After a moment's thought, he decided on what to have for dinner and left home.

As she walked down the street, greeting familiar faces she hadn't seen in a long time, Kagura made her way to the market with practiced ease.

Over the years, whenever time permits, he has always insisted on cooking his own meals.

On one hand, his deeply ingrained beliefs from Earth made him inexplicably averse to instant noodles.

On the other hand, even though he had been here for a long time, he was still not used to the local food and preferred the Chinese cuisine he remembered.

That's why, over the years, Tsunade and the other two have come to regard this place as another canteen.

After each mission or training session, they would always find various excuses to come over for a meal.

If he hadn't just been discharged from the hospital today, and if these three hadn't felt too embarrassed to freeload, Kagura would probably be racking his brains over what to cook tonight to satisfy their appetites.

This might also be one of the reasons why Tsunade was attached to him.

To win someone's heart, you must win their stomach.

This statement is obviously equally effective for girls.

As it was getting late, Kagura quickly bought the groceries and returned home.

As night fell, the gurgling sounds of cooking food could be heard from his living room.

He was thinking of taking a break tonight, so he chose the easiest option: hot pot.

Of course, it's called sukiyaki here.

This is perhaps one of the few local dishes that Kagura can stomach.
