Simultaneous Transmigration: Starting from Naruto, I'll conquer the crossover anime/manga secti

Chapter 99: A Clash of Weaklings in the Preliminaries

"Ms. Hongdou, there's no need for you to get so worked up."

Yang Cheng, whose head was pressed firmly against the other's chest, was both enjoying and in pain. However, just as he was about to faint from suffocation, Hong Dou finally released him.

Hongdou didn't choose to ask Yang Cheng how he helped her solve the problem of the "Heavenly Curse Seal".

After all, during the time she had been a teacher to Yang Cheng, she had already discovered that Yang Cheng himself had many secrets.

Moreover, Hongdou had long since become somewhat numb to her disciple's astonishing talent and ability.

In Yang Cheng's view, solving the problem of the "Heavenly Curse Seal" might be a small matter, but for Hong Dou, it was not so.

The Heavenly Curse Mark on her neck tormented her for over a decade. Because it was an unfinished curse mark, even when it was sealed, she would occasionally feel a sharp pain.

Moreover, whenever her chakra is exhausted or her emotions are affected to a certain extent, the cursed seal will show signs of self-destruction.

But now, this problem that had tormented her for years was solved so easily by Yang Cheng, how could Hongdou not be excited?

"Orochimaru-sensei—oh no, Orochimaru was my former teacher, but as long as it was for his own purposes and research,..."

Even with your relationship to me, he won't show any mercy.

So if you encounter him again, prioritize your own safety and contact me immediately.

Seeing Yang Cheng nod in agreement, Hongdou's face regained its cheerful smile. She then patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "You all did very well this time. I heard that you were the first group to pass the second round of the Chunin Exams."

"Invite Ling and Wu along too, your teacher is treating you to a big meal!"

Although Orochimaru intruded into the Forest of Death, the second round of the Chunin Exams ultimately concluded smoothly.

However, because some experienced players infiltrated the beginner's round of the exam, the number of people who passed decreased significantly.

Because of the "Curse of Heaven" on her body, Nisuke was eventually taken away by Kakashi.

Throughout the entire process, Yang Cheng never said anything about whether he could handle the problem with the cursed seal.

On one hand, the curse mark on Nisuke's body is quite advanced in technique compared to the unfinished product of Anko.

Yang Cheng might have the ability to help Er Zhuzi suppress or resolve the issue, but that would undoubtedly be quite exhausting.

On the other hand, Yang Cheng himself did not have much affection for Nizusako.

Although the other person is about as handsome as him, their personality is really not something to be proud of.

Yang Cheng could understand that being immersed in hatred caused some flaws in his personality, but Yang Cheng found it very repulsive that the other person was always repaying kindness with enmity.

Throughout the entire series, how many people were truly loyal to Nisuke during his early stages of revenge?

Leaving aside Orochimaru, who taught him with ulterior motives, there's also Kakashi, who's biased, and Sakura and Karin, who are infatuated with him. When this guy gets going, he's ruthless.

He helped Hongdou solve the curse mark problem, and the wealthy and generous teacher even treated him to face wash.

But if he helps Erzhuzi, will the other party forget the favor he did?

No, even if they become enemies later, Nisuke will not show the slightest mercy.

78 people participated in the second round of the Chunin Exams, but only 24 people passed the second round of the test.

Originally, during the third round of the preliminary rounds, Kabuto Yakushi was worried about revealing his strength in front of many Jonin from Konoha, so he chose to withdraw.

However, this time Kabuto did not choose to do so, because Orochimaru ordered him to go on stage to test Yang Cheng's strength.

The order of appearance in the preliminary rounds was not much different from what Yang Cheng remembered, since the regular level players were the same people he remembered.

After several rounds of matches, it was almost always a battle of weaklings, especially the match where Sakura and Ino's best friend were tearing each other apart. Although their perseverance and spirit were commendable, Yosei watched that battle almost while yawning.

"Feeling bored, right? After all, your strength has far surpassed theirs."

However, this is only the normal level of a genin. In fact, the quality of the students participating in this year's Chunin Exams is much stronger than in previous years. Both Ai-Ling and Luo Chuanwu had narrowly lost to their opponents in previous matches, but as for their prized student Yang Cheng...

Red Bean, however, has absolute confidence.

Asuma was still gloating over Shikamaru's advancement and Rin and Takeshi's elimination, but he had no idea that Anko's real killer had not yet made her official debut!

The first round of exams was a written test. The second round of exams took place in the Forest of Death. Because Orochimaru interfered, the Third Hokage blocked information about it to avoid causing panic in the village.

The Konoha Jonin, including Asuma and others, knew that Orochimaru had appeared in the village, but they were unaware of the battle between Yosei and Orochimaru in the Forest of Death.

Therefore, in Asuma's view, Yang Cheng may have some talent and strength, but the genin in this Chunin Exam are all quite strong.

Shikamaru has already advanced, but Yangcheng is not entirely without the possibility of an upset.

"In the next round, Kabuto Yakushi will face Gaara."

When the tuberculosis expert Moonlight Gale announced the names of the next round's contestants, Yang Cheng's expression froze.

The most anticipated match of the first round of the preliminaries, Gaara versus Rock Lee, has now changed!

On the other side, Kabuto Yakushi, who was facing off against someone else, also wore a wry smile.

There were 24 people in the preliminary rounds. Kabuto Yakushi felt that the probability of encountering someone like Yang Cheng in the first round was really low.

However, Fang Fang never expected that her luck would be so bad, as she would actually encounter Gaara in the first round.

If it were anyone else, Kabuto would probably use a little of his strength to defeat them and bring them down to the ordinary level.

However, Gaara the Sandstorm is a crucial part of the Konoha Crush plan, and his opponent cannot be eliminated here, otherwise how can he cause chaos in the finals?

So when the two entered the arena, Kabuto Yakushi surrendered without the slightest hesitation.

His behavior naturally drew boos from many of the ninjas present.

After all, the other ninjas who went on the field before, regardless of their strength, all fought hard before losing.

Kabuto's act of surrendering without a fight clearly shows a lack of backbone compared to female ninjas like Sakura Haruno, Ino, and Hinata.

"What is Kabuto-senpai doing? They've come all this way, and he's just giving up so easily!"

Naruto, who had met Kabuto once before, was puzzled and angry to see his senior, who had taken the Chunin Exams seven times, so decisively give up the match.

After all, his ninja way is to keep his word and never give up, while Kabuto's current behavior is clearly contrary to Naruto's ninja way.

"No, he did the right thing. Sometimes, knowing how to judge the strength of your opponent and understand the gap between you is a very important quality for a ninja."

Ninjas are not warriors; they don't need to fight fiercely. As long as they complete their missions, preserving their own lives is also very important. Meaningless battles will only lead to their own destruction.

That Sand Village brat with the gourd on his back is probably the strongest genin in this Chunin Exams.

Compared to the clueless genin, the jonin present all expressed their understanding of Kabuto Yakushi's actions.
