Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

【boom--!!!】

A loud bang suddenly came from the podium.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of white smoke rose into the air.

The white smoke came and went quickly.

Soon, a tall figure appeared on the podium.

The man wore a black headscarf and a large black trench coat. His scarred face instilled fear in many of the lower-ranking ninja present at first glance.

After scanning the room, the newcomer said coldly, "You bunch of bastards, shut up!"

[Splash—]

At the same time, several figures quickly entered through the examination hall door.

Then, as if rehearsed, they stood in various positions, seemingly surrounding everyone.

The murderous aura emanating from him was completely undisguised.

Many of the test takers' shoulders were trembling slightly.

[Obviously.]

[Whether it was the figure on the podium or the ninjas surrounding them.]

[They are all proctors for this Chunin Exams.]

"Aren't you all getting impatient?"

On the platform, the tall, menacing-looking man spoke again.

His voice was cold, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"My name is Ibiki Morino, and I am the examiner for the first round of the Chunin Selection Exams."

With that, Ibiki Morino put his hands in his pockets and took a few steps forward.

His cold gaze swept over the crowd.

Then his gaze settled on Tos and Sac.

["The Genin of Otogakure Village."]

"If this happens again, I have the right to disqualify you from the Chunin Exams."

"Sorry, sorry. This is our first time participating in the Chunin Exams, and we're not familiar with the rules. We were just asking this 'senior' some questions, but our manner of asking was a bit rude."

[Tos chuckled lightly, without a trace of apology.]

Ibiki Morino sneered, "Just so you know."

"The rules for this exam."

"Without my permission, and the permission of all the invigilators."

"All candidates are prohibited from engaging in private fights."

"Even if you have permission... Hmph, you're not allowed to kill!"

"If anyone tries to break the rules, feel free to do so. The moment you take action, you'll be disqualified from the exam!"

[Upon hearing this.]

The Sound Ninja trio shrugged, said nothing more, and leisurely returned to their seats.

"Everyone sit down, get ready for the exam." Morino Ibiki looked at the cockroaches.

"Let's go."

Naruto smiled gently.

The cockroaches, of course, wouldn't cause trouble at this time.

They then dispersed.

Everyone found an empty seat and sat down.

However, just as he sat down, Ibihi on the podium announced, "Distribute the seat numbers. In two and a half minutes, take your seats!"

As soon as the words were spoken, another group of proctors entered the examination hall and quickly distributed seat numbers to all the genin present.

[Two and a half minutes later.]

Everyone's positions have been rearranged.

After Naruto sat down, he seemed to sense something and glanced at one of the proctors standing beside him.

That burning gaze...

It's like the look in someone's eyes when they see a beautiful woman after holding back for years.

Naruto maintained his gentle smile and nodded.

Fortunately, Naruto was already used to that look.

These people received favors from his new Ninja Sect.

[Many people actively brainwashed him, and their fanaticism for Naruto far surpassed that of the Will of Fire.]

Compared to the empty and grandiose brainwashing of the Will of Fire, the new Ninja Sect not only has tangible benefits, but also an ideology that is many times more sophisticated than the Will of Fire.

Of course... these are all derived from the new Ninja Cult, and Naruto's original intentions went beyond that.

By the time he realized it, it was too late.

Although there are some discrepancies, they are generally acceptable, and may even be better.

Therefore, we can let things develop as they are. With the new Ninja Clan in power, it's impossible for the situation to escalate out of control.

Tobirama Senju: "That's true... If I were to immerse myself in it, I might become quite fanatical myself."

Uchiha Izuna: Is loyalty to whom you serve the same as loyalty to someone else?

Uchiha Izuna: Of course, there's no harm without comparison.

Madara Uchiha: They chose this path themselves, so they will naturally follow it to the end.

After a long silence, Madara Uchiha finally spoke.

I just don't know who he was talking to.

"Big fox, you weren't the one who did this behind the scenes, were you?"

Suddenly, Naruto asked from within the sealed space.

【What?】

The big fox blinked, its face completely innocent.

Naruto: "..."

[The Fox Church?]

"Fine, if the big fox likes it, let him do it. It's not a big deal."

【but......】

Naruto glanced at the other proctors again.

[He chuckled inwardly.]

It seems the old man is destined to remain a lone commander.

The fanatical looks in these people's eyes... it would be unbelievable to even ask them to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They probably wouldn't even flinch if you asked them to jump off a cliff.

However, Naruto was still a little worried that they might get too excited and shout "Fox Lord..."

"Quiet down!"

At that moment, Ibiki Morino tapped on the table.

"Listen up, everyone! I'm about to tell you some important things to note for this exam!"

"Whether it's your first time or you've participated several times, it's the same, because that's my rule!"

[Then, Ibihi took the opportunity of explaining the precautions.]

Continue to put pressure on everyone and constantly give them psychological cues.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

However, this has no effect on the cockroaches.

The rules of Ibihime are very simple.

The exam is conducted in teams, specifically groups of three.

[Integral method, 10 points per group, and the result is determined by group.]

This exam was a written test.

When the exam content was announced, Kiba Inuzuka was completely stunned, his face showing despair.

Similarly, with a large number of test takers, many ninja are worried about this.

If any one of the three fails, they will immediately be disqualified from the exam.

There is no such thing as shared prosperity; rather, shared loss leads to shared loss.

"We cannot tolerate any injustice."

Just then.

[Steel has appeared.]

Now that he's here, Izumo Kamui will naturally be nearby as well.

The two of them had smiles in their eyes.

Clearly, they hadn't expected to be transferred back to their workstations so soon after returning.

【but......】

After making their presence known, Kotetsu and Izumo Kamizuki stopped at the entrance to the examination hall, standing one on the left and one on the right.

[As expected of the legendary Konoha gatekeeper.]

[He's a doorkeeper wherever he goes.]

【at the same time.】

Ibihi sized up the candidates.

A subtle, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of her lips.

Dealing with these low-ranking ninjas couldn't be easier.

[There was no time to let the test takers react.]

"Don't take any chances. One member of the team has lost all their points, and all three are eliminated!"

"So many eyes are watching you, hehe..."

After applying a final wave of psychological pressure, Ibixi waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, let the exam begin!"
