In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

Chapter 99 The First Form of the Wood Breathing Technique... The Wooden Coffin!

After the meeting ended, a few people whispered with interest about Minato Namikaze. When Iruka saw Minato Namikaze appear, he couldn't help but go up and ask a few questions. After confirming that it was indeed Minato Namikaze, Iruka still felt embarrassed and took out a piece of paper to ask Minato Namikaze for his autograph. Minato Namikaze naturally agreed, after all, he never expected that he would become so famous and have so many fans.

After signing his name, Iruka seriously addressed Naruto's teaching issues. Of course, Iruka knew about Naruto's background, but Naruto was just Minato's son, not Minato. It's like having a son who is a descendant of a hero and commits many evil deeds. Would everyone pay special attention to him and give him the privileges he deserves just because his father is the one who does them?

The result, of course, was not.

So when Iruka understood that Naruto wasn't the Nine-Tails, he treated Naruto with genuine sincerity. Hearing Iruka's words, Minato Namikaze was a little embarrassed. Lin Fan next to him said that this was purely someone's fault. Minato Namikaze was speechless. If his future self did something wrong, would it also be blamed on him?

Of course, the mistake Minato Namikaze is referring to here is that he agreed to go to the border of the Land of Lightning to resist the AB combination. In order to gain merit, he neglected the safety of his disciples, which led to the destruction of his family.

After returning from the meeting, Minato Namikaze went home in a rage to discipline his youngest son. Of course, he was angry at first, but when he heard his son say in a pitiful voice, "I've never had a father since I was little," Minato Namikaze, the good second father, instantly softened.

The larger version of Naruto stood at the door and scratched his head, wondering if he was this green tea when he was a kid.

Lin Fan, however, didn't have time to accompany Minato Namikaze to see his son; he needed to prepare for his exams and naturally had to find something special.

West.

First, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him and Haku to wear Konoha headbands, but he refused, saying there were better things to prove he was a Konoha person. So he went to a high-end clothing store and asked them to expedite the production of three white cloaks.

This matter was monitored by the white snake that Orochimaru had arranged, so Orochimaru also secretly left the laboratory that Hiruzen Sarutobi had arranged for him and went to a clothing store to order his outfit.

This laboratory is a surveillance area of ​​the Dark Side. Knowing that Orochimaru is the Orochimaru of the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi still has a little trust in this Orochimaru. Of course, this is also to give Minato Namikaze face by giving Orochimaru the space to conduct his own research. And the experimental material is naturally that White Zetsu clone.

On his way back, Lin Fan saw two Naruto Uzumaki strolling on the street not far away. It seemed that Minato Namikaze had softened his heart again and released his two sons. Kids with fathers walk with great style, and they are the most handsome guys on the street. Of course, if you can ignore the villagers' comments such as "Why are there two demon foxes in the nest?", "It's over, Konoha is doomed!", "Move over!", then it is indeed perfect.

While the two Narutos were strolling around, a cardboard box followed behind them.

Lin Xiaobai: "Lin Fan, what's that? A moving box?"

Lin Fan: "...Is it possible that there's a person inside?"

Lin Xiaobai: "Wow, you should have said so earlier!"

Lin Xiaobai jumped off Lin Fan's shoulder, quickened his pace, and just as the two Narutos exposed Konohamaru, the cardboard box...

Lin Xiaobai grabbed them, and it was as if a gust of wind had carried the trio's cardboard box away. The trio hadn't even noticed the cardboard box was gone yet. As they continued moving forward, suddenly Kazamatsuri Moegi, who was running a runny nose, seemed to notice something was wrong: "Strange, why does it suddenly seem bright?"

As Kazamatsuri Moegi was speaking, before Sarutobi Konohamaru and Ise Udon could react, Kazamatsuri Moegi was picked up.

Then Kazamatsuri Moegi's gaze fell on the person who had picked her up:

He's a super handsome older brother, and his smile is so beautiful!

"Are you playing a ninja game?"

Kazamatsuri Moegi: Ah! A handsome older brother spoke to me!!

The larger Naruto had already remembered this incident and deliberately kept his smaller self silent, but he didn't expect Lin Fan's appearance: "Hey, Brother Lin Fan, put down my little brothers! They mean no harm!"

Hearing what the larger Naruto said, Sarutobi Konohamaru and Ise Udon also thought that Lin Fan was going to do something to Kazamatsuri Moegi. Lin Fan was speechless. He just thought Kazamatsuri Moegi was cute. Hugging her would make him feel like a loli: "Don't worry, I'm not a good person. I won't hurt this child."

Hearing Lin Fan say he wouldn't harm Kazamatsuri Moegi, the two Narutos breathed a sigh of relief, as did Sarutobi Konohamaru and Ise Udon.

He let out a sigh of relief:

Suddenly, the four of them seemed to realize something was wrong: Didn't Lin Fan just say that he wasn't a good person?

On the other side, Lin Xiaobai, with a piece of cardboard in his mouth, jumped onto a wall, casually tossed the cardboard aside, and stood on the wall to watch the show.

The cardboard hit a boy on the head as he walked out of the reception area. The boy was wearing a black robe, his face was painted, and there was an unidentified object bound with white bandages on his back.

Startled by the feeling of being attacked, the boy reached for his puppet, which was bound with white bandages.

The blonde girl next to him pointed to the cardboard on the ground, then to the rabbit's silhouette on the wall:

The black-robed youth understood everything: "Damn it! That damned Konoha pet dares to ride on my head, Lord Kankuro! He's asking for death!"

The black-robed youth decisively used the chakra threads he used to control the puppet. Although the level of these chakra threads wasn't quite at the level of someone like Sasori who could control people from a distance, it was more than enough to control an ordinary rabbit.

Blue chakra threads raced through the air. Sensing the approaching attack, Lin Xiaobai instinctively tilted his head, but the chakra threads missed.

Damn it! Again!

The chakra threads flew again. Lin Xiaobai, who was standing on the wall, seemed to have noticed something. He tilted his head and looked back. He saw two Sand Village ninjas and instantly dodged the three chakra threads that Kankuro had thrown out in one go. The chakra threads missed again.

"...You wretched little rabbit!"

Having his chakra threads dodged twice by an "ordinary rabbit," and feeling his older sister's disdainful gaze, Kankuro's chakra level rose. Ten chakra threads flew out from Kankuro's direction. Kankuro used both hands, and Lin Xiaobai quickly dodged. From the perspective of someone outside the other side of the wall, it looked like a rabbit on the wall suddenly danced a few steps, but it wasn't devastating enough.

Ise Udon: "Wow, a rabbit that can jump!"

Sarutobi Konohamaru: "When did that rabbit get standing there?"

Little Naruto: "Isn't that Brother Lin's pet?"

Large Naruto: "Brother Lin Fan, what happened to your pet?"

After informing Konohamaru and his trio of Lin Fan's identity, the trio lost much of their prejudice against him. However, they were curious about why there were two "Naruto brothers." Just as they were trying to find out, they saw a rabbit performing a dance on the wall: "Chakra threads?"

Unlike the five people who couldn't see chakra, Lin Fan's eyes, after evolving, seemed to be able to see all kinds of energy, even emotions, as long as one paid a little attention. Therefore, he could clearly see that Lin Xiaobai dodged a flying chakra line with every dance step.

On the wall, Lin Xiaobai was dancing wildly, lost in her own world. Kankuro angrily manipulated his chakra threads. Temari covered her face, desperately wanting to go back to the guesthouse to sleep. Why did she have to go out with her younger brother? It was just because she was a brother-complex. Meanwhile, on a tree, there was a Calabash Brother standing on a branch. When Lin Fan appeared, the Calabash Brother noticed him, mainly because Lin Fan's chakra was too powerful.

Lin Fan stood out in the crowd, a stark contrast to the other Jinchūriki.

But when he was about to find an opportunity to provoke and test the other party's strength, he saw his foolish older brother attacking a rabbit. What's more, the rabbit used a strange dance to dodge his foolish older brother's attack.

On another tree, there was a cool boy who was throwing stones to show off, but after seeing this somewhat abstract scene, he now held the stones in his palm.

Sasuke came here because he had just scolded Sakura Haruno for being lazy and wasting her time thinking about romance instead of studying. He argued that Naruto was no longer a loser, and simply put, Sakura was currently weaker than Naruto. Sasuke was only being stubborn, but seeing Sakura run off, he followed her out of concern, and then they both witnessed this abstract scene:

Lin Xiaobai, at the center of the stage, was completely unaware that she had become the center of attention. She was immersed in her graceful and elegant steps, rubbing her face together and feeling the cold breeze brush against her rabbit face.

Seeing Lin Xiaobai dancing so enthusiastically, Lin Fan wanted to join in, but after glancing down at the loafers he was wearing from his original world, he decided against it. The image was too abstract, and if it continued to be so abstract, he would probably feel hopeless.

With a whoosh, Lin Fan leaped into the air, his body hovering in mid-air. The scene resembled a landlady dodging a large truck, enjoying the thrill of the maneuver. Below, however, wasn't a truck, but Lin Xiaobai dancing.

From this perspective, apart from Gaara, Kakashi with his two-tomoe Sharingan, and the old man who was wiping his crotch after accidentally spitting out a mouthful of saliva while peeping through his crystal ball, no one else could capture Lin Fan's dashing figure.

Lin Fan fell behind Kankuro, who was still wildly waving his hands. His chakra levels were unknown. Seeing Kankuro waving his claws forward was like watching a rabid madman: "Alright, that's enough."

Lin Fan's voice rang out from behind Kankuro. By the time Kankuro reacted, a kunai was already at his neck.

Upon discovering the kunai, his hands instinctively stopped. Seeing this, Temari gripped her iron fan: "Who are you?"

Wow! Who's this handsome guy? Does Konoha even have guys this handsome?!

The aloof Temari didn't show any of her admiring glances at the handsome guy.

Lin Fan replied, "I am Swift Rabbit, the greatest ninja among rabbits, Lin Fan."

Swift Rabbit? Never heard of it, but it's really fast. I didn't even see when it appeared!

"Swift Rabbit? An interesting name."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind Lin Fan.

Lin Fan turned around and saw a boy who seemed to be covered in sand, who had appeared behind him at some point:

...Sand Instantaneous Body? That's really cool.

He was certain that Gaara had used the same move he used when he was eliminated during the Chunin Exams against Rock Lee.

A sand, reeking of blood, hurtled towards Lin Fan, but he instantly swatted it away. As the sand scattered, Lin Fan swiftly retreated several steps, landing where Temari was. While Temari was still aloofly engrossed in the handsome man, her neck was grabbed, and a cold voice rang in her ear: "Don't move, or I'll kill you."

'

With a whoosh, before Lin Fan could finish speaking, a string of sand flew over:

Lin Fan, carrying Temari, instantly leaped into the air, dodging Gaara's sand attack: "Damn it, wait until I finish speaking!"

Gaara remained standing in the same spot, arms crossed, looking completely unconcerned: "Finished? Then die."

If you dare touch my sister, you're dead!

Gaara's eyes flashed red, and countless grains of sand transformed into beams of light, flying into the air in various directions:

Seeing this scene from mid-air, Lin Fan gasped. He hadn't expected this kid to be so "yandere," acting like the Fire Cloud Evil God whenever he saw a master: "Either you kill me, or I'll kill you."

but.

Coincidentally not.

Lin Fan is that kind of person too!

"Wood Release: Improved Wood Golem Technique!"

Lin Fan clasped his hands together, and wooden stumps emerged from his body, enveloping him and forming a circular wooden wall. From inside this wall extended a tube and a cover resembling an oxygen mask. Lin Fan placed one cover in front of his mouth and the other on Temari's bewildered face.

Outside, the sand attack instantly formed a rather large sand sphere in the sky:

Gaara had gone berserk, his eyes bloodshot. He no longer cared about his sister; he had only one thought: to kill that "powerful man who dared to touch his sister": "Sand Burial!"

"Temari!!"

Kankuro saw the sand sphere in the sky make a loud boom, his mind went blank, and his knees buckled as he knelt on the ground.

After a few seconds, the scene seemed to return to calm, except for the sand spheres in the sky:

Kankuro snapped out of his daze and angrily charged at Gaara, who had regained his senses, grabbing him by the collar: "You bastard! You killed Temari! I'll make you pay with your life!!"

Gaara himself was also bewildered. Having been used as a killing machine for so long, and often lacking sleep, his rationality sometimes slipped away: "I...I actually killed my sister...and Kankuro actually..."

Seeing Kankuro, who was always afraid of him, actually angry for Temari, Gaara's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Konohamaru and the other two also thought Lin Fan was dead, and anxiously asked the two Narutos:

Little Naruto looked at Big Naruto:

Naruto: "Don't worry, Brother Lin Fan won't die that easily... He's the strongest in his world."

Inside the wooden ball, besides the oxygen mask, there was also an eye mask and headphones, all placed over Lin Fan's head.

Upon hearing Naruto's words:

Lin Fan grinned and replied, "Even in this world, I am the strongest! Wooden dummy, activate!"

The wooden ball, which had been gathering for so long, seemed to emit a bright light. The light vanished in an instant, and as the sand was being compressed, it suddenly could no longer be compressed. The densely packed yellow sand, in a split second, was blasted apart by the sudden force of the wooden ball.

Countless grains of sand were seen falling outside:

The original wooden ball transformed into the shape of a wooden figure:

The wooden figure wasn't enormous, but it was still over ten meters tall, enough to encompass the two people inside its core.

Anyone who's seen Gundam will recognize this character as almost identical to a template: "Wood Release: Gundam Technique!"

A bright light flashed from one of the wooden Gundam's eyes; Sasuke's Sharingan could see the Gundam's left eye chakra and right eye chakra.

The chakra content in their eyes is completely different; the one on the right is significantly higher.

Gundam waved its fist in the air, its wings flapping gently on its back:

From directly below, you can feel the wind force generated by the Gundam's wings flapping: "No enemy is too strong, no obstacle too difficult to overcome!"

A voice came from the wooden figure, and everyone present, as well as many Konoha villagers and ninjas who could see this scene, were stunned and astonished:

Gaara, upon hearing Lin Fan's words, pondered for a moment, flicked Kankuro away, and replied, "Is that so? Then let me see... your strength."

Countless grains of sand, once again sensing Gaara's presence, formed clusters and soared into the sky:

Lin Fan gave the wooden figure a few instructions, since he wasn't actually controlling it. Of course, he could control it, but chakra manipulation wasn't as subtle as controlling the person himself.

The wooden figure's eyes lit up, and it gripped a cool wooden sword. As the sand flew by, it flapped its wings and dodged the sand attacks.

Unable to dodge, the wooden doll swung its wooden sword and shattered the sand. Then, as the sand attack gradually weakened, the wooden doll did not hesitate to grab its wooden sword and charge at Gaara: "Gaara!" Kankuro saw the wooden doll's appearance and knew that Temari was probably alright, so he immediately became worried about Gaara's safety.

Gaara heard Kankuro's voice, and countless grains of sand formed a panda in front of him:

The strongest defense of Sand Release!

Seeing this move, Lin Fan, inside the wooden sphere, also thought of an interesting one, especially the combination of Yin-Yang Release energy he used in the previous world, which could instantly create a Wood Release:

He took a deep breath, the wooden figure's eyes glowing, and the wooden sword slashed downwards at the sand panda: "Full Concentration... Wood Breathing Technique, First Form... Wooden Coffin!"

With a loud bang, the wooden sword struck the Sand Panda's forehead. The instant the dent appeared, the wood within corroded the chakra that originally belonged to Gaara. From the forehead to the floor, the surrounding floor seemed to sprout roots, and wooden vines rumbled forth, enveloping the wooden man, the giant panda, and the Calabash Brothers together in a giant wooden prison.

Gaara from Calabash Brothers was so shocked by this move that his mouth almost dropped open:

If he could, he'd like to pilot a Gundam like Lin Fan, but his chakra reserves aren't enough for that, since he's not at his peak yet, unless the One-Tailed Beast helps him.

Just as Lin Fan was preparing to teach Gaara a lesson with his newly devised technique, the wooden coffin, a voice came from outside: "Brother Lin Fan, stop right now!"

It's Naruto's voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan also found it quite boring and released the spell. However, the main reason was that the spell was not yet fully developed:

He has indeed trapped Gaara in the wooden coffin, and the coffin is forming fast enough, but the next attack with wooden spikes... Damn it, he's still inside, how did this wooden coffin manage to trap him inside as well?

Just then, Naruto shouted to stop, so Lin Fan went along with it and gave Naruto some face:

He opened the wooden coffin, stepped out from the core, and then threw Temari to Gaara. Gaara was shocked to see Temari appear, but he reacted quickly and caught the unconscious Temari with a large hand made of sand.

..Thanks."

Gaara said in a very soft voice.

Lin Fan heard it.

But he found it strange that Gaara, this "Calabash Brother," thanked him after he'd just beaten him up? Could it be that Gaara is actually a... idiot! No wonder Gaara seemed unmarried; it turns out Gaara likes Naruto!!

Lin Fan felt like he had seen the truth of the world. He clutched his backside and ran away with Lin Xiaobai. Naruto, Naruto Jr., and the trio saw this and quickly chased after them.

Sakura Haruno and Sasuke did not leave.

The scene the two saw inside the guesthouse at that moment:

A shattered floor, a limp Kankuro, and the gradually disappearing Sand Panda and Wooden Gundam:

And Gaara, who placed the taimari ball down with his sandy palm, his eyes cold yet complex:

Sasuke and Sakura Haruno both stared in shock:

Although the two of them had witnessed Lin Fan's strength back in the Land of Waves.

But looking at it again now, I still feel that I am ridiculously weak.

Especially the boy who could block Lin Fan, who seemed to be a ninja from Sunagakure:

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who saw everything through the crystal ball, was dumbfounded. He was now thinking of knocking Lin Fan unconscious, just like Danzo did, and then letting Lin Fan and Minato Namikaze stay behind. One would become the Hokage of Konoha, and the other would become the guardian deity of Konoha. What kind of terrible enemies would Konoha have then?

However, the focus now doesn't seem to be knocking out those two difficult people... Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze involuntarily fell on the shockwave created by Lin Fan's strike on the Sand Panda, which had blasted a large crater in the floor, shattered all the windows of the guesthouse apartment, and destroyed all the underground wiring caused by the "wooden coffin"... After the Anbu members finished their inspection, and Hiruzen Sarutobi confirmed that the guesthouse was unsuitable for occupancy and the amount of compensation, he became certain of one thing:

Damn it! We absolutely can't let Lin Fan live! He's a menace!!

That evening, Lin Fan came out of his room at the guesthouse, carrying takeout containers and trash. As he stepped outside, he saw a group of Sand Village ninjas walking towards him with their luggage.

Naturally, this includes Gaara's brother, sister, and brother trio, as well as Maki.

"Hey, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping at home?"

Sand Village Ninja:

'

Damn it! It's all your fault, you bastard, who broke all our underground pipes, electrical circuits, and room windows, forcing us to move here!

Lin Fan silently looked at this tuberculosis patient and finished speaking:

He hasn't watched Shippuden since Hayate died... Just kidding.

He patted Moonlight Gale on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Gale."

"?" How does he know my name?

As Hayate Gekko stared wide-eyed, looking completely bewildered, Lin Fan continued, "I advise you to resign from the Anbu before the Chunin Exams, get married and have children as soon as possible, so that you won't end up without a child in Shippuden—or rather, so that you won't be left without one in the future."

He's still such a kind person.

Lin Fan felt a surge of emotion.

Moonlight Gale: "...Um, I don't need that. Besides, I have a codename, my codename is..."

"Have you two said enough?" Maki interrupted Gekko Hayate with a dark face. Their Sunagakure village had traveled a long way to participate in the Chunin Exams of Konoha, and this was how Konoha treated them: "If there's nothing else, please go and act somewhere else. It's getting late, and we need to check in as soon as possible to avoid affecting our exams."

After saying that, Maki didn't give Gekko Hayate any face at all, and led his people into the hotel. Temari even winked at Lin Fan. Although Lin Fan didn't know what was going on with her, a wink from a beautiful woman meant he had to reply: "Beautiful lady, I'm staying in room 507!"

Come find me tonight!

Upon hearing this, Temari in the front of the line nearly stumbled and fell. Those inside exchanged glances, their focus finally settling on the only female member in the group:

Temari's face was flushed, and she dared not open her eyes.

After the group disappeared through the doorway, Moonlight Gale's voice rang out: "Ahem, Mr. Lin Fan, you..."

'

Hearing that Moonlight Gale had been coughing since childhood, Lin Fan sighed helplessly, "Is there no cure for your cough?"

"Uh. Doctor, it's a side effect of awakening the ability to see through things. It belongs to the category of bloodstain disease, and medical treatment can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure it. Cough cough cough."

'

Did you learn to teleport when you were a child?

Forget it.

"Here's the trash, please throw it away for me. I'm going back to sleep."

Lin Fan ignored Moonlight Gale's reaction and handed the trash bag in his hand to Moonlight Gale.

Hayate Gekko didn't react in time, instinctively taking the trash and turning to head to the garbage dump... Wait, wasn't I supposed to be monitoring the Anbu of Sunagakure? Why am I helping Lin Fan throw away his trash?!

But with the trash already in his hand, Moonlight Gale could only unleash a furious, impotent rage, hurling it slammed into the nearby trash cans.

In the pool.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Chunin Exams are approaching.

The exam venue was set up in a teaching building at the Ninja Academy. The reason Konohamaru and his two companions could still stroll around the streets during a weekday day was because the Ninja Academy was on holiday. Lin Fan had almost finished researching the "wooden coffin" these past few days. At least in a small-scale scenario, such as a wooden coffin targeting a single person, he could now use it at will, as long as he ignored chakra. However, this wasn't enough for him, so he also evolved the wooden coffin twice: "Wooden Coffin - Evolution +2": "When you use the wooden coffin, efficiency is greatly increased, and power is slightly increased."

The wooden coffin is now very stable, and it can still be used over a large area like before, with considerable damage. The only drawback is that it's the first Chunin Exam, and there's no one to experiment on it.

Upon entering the classroom, a large group of genin (lower-ranking ninja) came into view. Some were already adults, some had just come of age, and some were close to adulthood... but lolis and shota (young girls and boys) were still the most numerous among them.

These people stood at the door of a classroom. Among them were Izumo and Kotetsu, two of Konoha's top gatekeepers. In the future, they were expected to be formidable fighters capable of going toe-to-toe with Asuma and the Immortal Duo. However, for now, they were merely serving as examiners for the Chunin Exams, creating a simple genjutsu. Then, a few young lads stepped forward, feigning weakness.

With a loud slap, a boy in green clothes retreated, covering his face.

Tenten and Neji helped Lee up: "How could you do this? We are all genin participating in this exam."

Izumo couldn't tell if the kid was doing it on purpose or pretending: "Kid, if you want to get in, you'll at least have to get past me."

Hearing Izumo's words, Lee clearly looked unconvinced, while Neji and Tenten were also gritting their teeth in anger, as if they were truly furious.

Then someone jumped out to speak up for Xiao Li: "Don't show off this kind of trick."

"It's really boring."

It's Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno.

Naruto: "What are you doing standing at the door of classroom 201?"

Hearing the three's words, Izumo and Kotetsu exchanged a glance. Having been exposed, they could only dispel the illusion: "It seems there are quite a few capable people in this generation."

"really."

However, what Izumo and Kotetsu didn't know was that Sasuke and Sakura Haruno did indeed rely on skill, but Naruto... well, pure chakra.

Rado, such low-level illusions cannot fool him.

The crowd was noisy. Lin Fan, standing at the back of the crowd, leaned against a wall. He didn't like being squeezed into a classroom corridor with others: "There are so many people."

Lin Xiaobai's voice rang out, and Lin Fan smiled and patted Lin Xiaobai's head. Then he saw Haku and Naruto whispering something to each other:

Naruto: "Just watch, that guy with the thick eyebrows likes Sakura, he's about to confess."

Bai: "Really Dudu or fake Dudu?"

Upon discovering Sakura's presence, Lee slid down to his knees and exclaimed, "Your name is Sakura, right? Please go out with me!"

Upon seeing that the person confessing to her was a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Sakura Haruno thought: "??? I don't want to!!"

Bai: "Holy crap, she really confessed. Are you a prophet?"

Naruto: "Hehe, this is how you act when you've seen the script!"

Lin Fan: ...Oh no, the young master has transmigrated into the main character of this drama.

After being rejected, Rock Lee turned his gaze to Sasuke, the young genius: "You must be Uchiha Sasuke! My name is Rock Lee, and I challenge you!! On the stakes of my genius!!!"

"Hmph, you?" Sasuke didn't care who this person was, but since the other party had issued a challenge, he absolutely couldn't let it go.

So the two of them went to an open space on the first floor of the school before the exam:

Lin Fan: "I bet on Xiao Li."

Lin Xiaobai: "I'll bet on Xiao Li too."

Naruto: "I'm betting too...? How do you guys know Lee will win?"

Sasuke: "???"

The fight hasn't even started! This bastard dares to say he'll lose! I'm an Uchiha! Uchiha never admit defeat!!

However, Sasuke's arrogance only lasted until the beginning. Even with his two-tomoe sword activated, he couldn't keep up with Lee's speed. He was beaten senseless and his face was swollen. In the end, Might Guy suddenly appeared and saved him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take the exam at all: "Lee, you idiot!"

Might Guy punched Lee hard:

Xiao Li flew out, then ran back, smoothly sliding to his knees and grabbing Might Guy's leg: "Teacher Guy!"

"I told you long ago, this move should never be used against your own comrades!"

Might Guy was referring to the Lotus Flower technique. If Sasuke were to take that hit, he'd be out of the Chunin Exams, and Team 7 would have to wait until next year.

Upon seeing the master and disciple, they were bewildered and, somewhat erratically, embraced and wept bitterly.

Sasuke, feeling utterly humiliated, put his hands in his pockets and said, speechless, "Boring. Let's go take the exam."

Naruto and Sakura exchanged a glance, then followed Sasuke's steps.

Then, just as Sasuke was about to pass by Lin Fan, Lin Fan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Don't underestimate him, Sasuke."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Sasuke was speechless.

What do you mean? Whose side are you on?! He slapped me in the face! He slapped me in the face in front of so many people! You're telling me not to underestimate him! ...If Sasuke had a knife right now, he'd definitely reward Rock Lee.

"However, Brother Lin Fan is right, Lee is indeed very strong, but this time, I will take action!" Naruto said in a heavy tone.

Upon hearing that it was Naruto, Sasuke was momentarily shocked, but then continued walking as if he didn't care: "Oh, really?"

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why are they all so strong?! Who is the real genius of the Uchiha clan?!

The first exam went smoothly until the examiner, Ibiki Morino, collected the papers and found four zeros. One bastard named Lin Fan, in particular, used a flawed process to arrive at the correct answer. According to the rules, only correct answers don't earn points, so even though he answered ten questions correctly, he still got zero... Damn! Are all ninjas this rebellious these days?! ...And this Lin Fan is the captain of the special exam team approved by the Hokage... Do you believe I can prevent any of you from being promoted to Chunin?! You idiot!!

Lin Fan was unaware of Ibiki Morino's anger. He was now happily taking his group out for a nice meal after finishing his exam.

"Don't worry about exams. If you can pass, then take the test; if you can't, then forget it. Eating and drinking well is the most important thing."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's voice, Sasuke and Haku nodded seriously, because neither of them could understand the exam questions. They had no idea whether the examiner was trying to mess with the difficulty level.

Meanwhile, Naruto was happily enjoying the oden in front of him. Since he had already taken the test, he naturally knew that he could pass by submitting a blank paper. Moreover, it was he who told Bai and Lin Fan that they could pass by submitting a blank paper.

However, Lin Fan didn't follow Naruto's advice. He knew all the questions on the test; he had a photographic memory. Completing these simple questions would be a piece of cake. But he found getting a perfect score boring, so he deliberately wrote a lot of nonsense.

The content of the exam paper appears to be logical, but the actual reasoning is completely reversed and wrong, yet the final result is correct.

Hearing that everyone didn't care about the exam results, Naruto relaxed and ate heartily, saying, "By the way, Brother Lin Fan, how come you guys are so rich? Didn't you say you weren't from this world? How come you still have money to take us out to eat every day?"

Hearing this, Sasuke and Sakura were also very curious. Although Sasuke was not short of money, he only had enough for daily expenses. The large sums of money had long been confiscated, so there was no share for him to inherit.

Lin Fan took a bite of the lucky bag, the fish roe inside bursting with crisp juice: "Oh, you mean our money? This money was given to us by Kado. He said he wouldn't need it anymore, and we would inherit it. Right, Bai?"

Bai: "...Yes."

Anyway, Kado is dead, so who can prove it?

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the trio exclaimed: "Good heavens, so you guys actually stole that Kado! No wonder we couldn't even see Kado's shadow in the distance."

Naruto: "?? So you were the one who killed Gato, waaaaaah!"

Lin Fan covered Naruto's mouth: "Alright, alright, why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that the people around us won't know that we killed someone?"

Waaaaah, I can't breathe!

Naruto's face was covered in purple and blue marks. Seeing that Naruto seemed to have choked, Haku immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver as taught in medical books.

Naruto spat out a fish ball, which bounced on the ground and rolled to Zabuza's feet, who was also eating on the other side. He didn't dare to look back at that scene.
