Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Some were disheveled, some were wounded, and all looked exhausted. After all, they needed to snatch the corresponding scrolls from other teams, so fighting was unavoidable, and they also had to avoid being ambushed by other teams along the way.

Many people are taking this opportunity to rest, bandage their wounds, and recover their strength.

When they saw the green-clad bodysuit in the corner doing a one-finger handstand push-up, their lips twitched involuntarily.

But what happened next was even more outrageous.

At noon, a rich aroma filled the entire tower.

"What does it taste like?"

"It smells so good... Is it barbecue?"

All the surviving candidates were drooling over the aroma. They looked towards the source of the smell and then froze in shock.

Aoba and his two companions were having a barbecue around a bonfire.

"Sizzle..."

The sound of grease dripping onto the charcoal fire, along with the rich aroma of grilled meat, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Gurgle."

It's unclear whose stomach first protested, but then a chorus of swallowing sounds filled the hall.

All the candidates turned green.

We're here eating barely-swallowed military rations, exhausted, and you guys are having a barbecue?!

This is simply...so enviable!

"Didn't they say we couldn't go out? Where did they get the barbecue?"

"There's something called a sealing scroll, could it be this?"

"No way, who uses a sealing scroll to seal this thing! That's such a waste..."

"What are you talking about? Is that the point? This is the Chunin Exams! How dare they?!"

However, everyone knew that since the assessment team did not stop them, it meant that Aoba and the other two's actions were permitted.

The way everyone looked at Aoba and the other two was no longer just hostile, but filled with resentment that wanted to tear them apart.

If looks could kill, those three would have been torn to pieces long ago.

Fortunately, the examiners had warned them beforehand that fighting was prohibited inside the tower, and they had no doubt that the group would pounce on the three men and beat them up.

"But these three brats have gotten too arrogant!"

In the corner, a Chunin Exam Officer responsible for maintaining order also looked speechless.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

In all the years that the Chunin Exams have been held, this is the first time he has ever seen a candidate dare to have a barbecue at the finish line of the Forest of Death.

The key point is, this isn't against the rules!

In the monitoring room, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, watched this scene through the monitor and helplessly took a puff of his pipe.

"This Aoba Yamashiro... he always manages to come up with something new."

The ANBU ninja next to him was also speechless.

They'd never seen anything like it; there really were candidates this daring.

This not only broke the record for the fastest completion of the Chunin Exams, but also probably made them the most arrogant team ever.

As the last squad arrived in a disheveled state just before the deadline, the tower's doors slowly closed.

The third assessment, the individual battle, has begun!

The arrival of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, caused a stir.

This shows the Third Hokage's prestige in Konoha at that time.

A Jonin examiner walked to the center of the hall and announced the rules.

As the match list scrolled across the electronic screen, Aoba and his two companions unsurprisingly felt "enthusiastic" gazes coming from all directions.

It goes without saying that they became the public enemy of all the test takers.

However, the reality is cruel.

"First match: Kakashi Hatake vs. Hideaki Yamanaka."

Unexpectedly, the first match was between a ninja from the Yamanaka clan and Kakashi Hatake, the genius ninja from Konoha.

There were no fancy hand seals, only a piercing white light.

Hatake sword technique.

As soon as Yamanaka Hideaki raised his hand, he was struck hard in the abdomen by the back of the knife, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp, instantly losing his fighting ability.

"The victor is Kakashi Hatake!"

The stands were completely silent.

Although no one thought that Hideaki Yamanaka would win, no one expected the battle to end so quickly.

The test takers who were just about to teach Kakashi a lesson felt a chill run down their necks.

Next up is Kai.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

With a powerful roar, Kaina's green figure charged into the arena like a cannonball.

His opponent was a ninja skilled in Earth Release. Seeing that Guy was a taijutsu ninja, he tried to trap Guy with Earth Release. However, as soon as he used Earth Release: Earth Wall to defend, the earth wall was as brittle as a biscuit in front of Guy's whip kick.

One kick shattered the defense, the second kick stunned him.

Simple, brutal, and unreasonable.

Finally, it was Aoba's turn.

"Yamashiro Aoba VS Akimichi Maki".

I never expected to be from the Akimichi clan. What a coincidence! I wonder if it's because we're both foodies.

"[Partial Multiplication Technique]"

Having witnessed Kakashi's battle with Guy, Akimichi Masaki certainly didn't think Aoba was an easy target, and made the first move after the referee announced the start.

Facing the enormous palm, Qingye remained unmoved, still standing with his arms crossed. However, the gourd behind him spewed out a large amount of sand, which transformed into a giant sand palm that blocked the palm opposite him.

Then a large amount of sand spread rapidly along the opposite arm, instantly wrapping Akimichi Masaki in a sand cocoon, leaving only his head exposed, unable to move.

"I give up!"

Akimichi Masaki cried out in alarm.

He could clearly feel the sand tightening rapidly.

"The victor is Yamashiro Aoba!"

Aoba didn't even move a step.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Only then did everyone truly realize that these three despicable guys did indeed have the right to be arrogant!

The Third Hokage in the stands took a puff of his pipe, the smoke obscuring the gleam in his eyes.

"This kid's sand control technique may have already surpassed the Sand Village's secret sand control techniques..."

The battles continued, and Aoba, Kakashi, and Guy all demonstrated strength far beyond their peers, easily defeating their opponents in the first two rounds and advancing smoothly.

In the third round, they finally faced off against each other.

"Yamashiro Aoba VS Hatake Kakashi".

When those two names appeared on the big screen, the audience in the stands erupted in cheers.

Aoba glanced at the viewing platform and clicked his tongue. If he remembered correctly, in the original timeline, it was Guy facing off against Kakashi.

Now that Kai has been replaced by him, this behind-the-scenes manipulation is too obvious.

Unsurprisingly, his next opponent will be Kay.

he~tui

shameless!

Aoba pouted.

On the other side, Kakashi's body was already tense, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he locked onto Aoba.

"Aoba! Kakashi! This is the true clash of youth!"

Kai excitedly waved his fist in the stands, cheering for the two.

The two walked off the field one after the other and stood facing each other.

"The match begins!"

Before he finished speaking, Kakashi's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

So fast!

A gasp rippled through the audience.

Qingye didn't move an inch, still sitting with her arms crossed.

clang!

Sparks fly!

The short sword was blocked by the rising sand wall.
