Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 246 Kushina Sees Her Daughter-in-Law

At this moment, Kushina, dressed in the uniform of an ANBU member, came to Chiga's side.

Looking down at Gekko Hayate, who was still explaining the rules of the competition, he said, "Looks like I arrived just in time!"

"Hmm, is that girl in our temporary residence?"

Chiga glanced at Kushina; they had been separated since the start of the second exam.

Knowing that Naruto Uzumaki had Chiga's help, Kushina felt at ease and went to follow Karin.

Kushina already knew about the attitude of the Grass Country ninjas towards the Uzumaki clan in her own world.

And this world is much the same; Karin's body is covered with bite marks of all sizes.

Chiga didn't even need to ask about the results; he figured that all the grass ninja who participated in the Chunin Exams had died at the hands of Kushina-sensei.

As for Karin, she should have been settled by Kushina-sensei as well.

"Yes, that girl's name is Karin, she's Misa's daughter!"

"Damn it, without your help, Misa would have been completely drained by those bastards, Kusanagi!"

"Once the Chunin Exams are over, I'm going to personally go to the Land of Grass and wipe out those bastards!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Kushina's eyes. After confirming that Karin was a member of the Uzumaki clan, she roughly guessed that Karin was Misa's daughter.

What she didn't expect was that Misa in this world was dead.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, and then looked down at the audience with Qianhe.

"Next is the individual competition. You can decide for yourself whether to raise your hand to leave the match. Leaving won't affect your teammates!"

After saying his last words, Moonlight Gale waited quietly.

"I give up!" ×2

As soon as Hayate Gekko finished speaking, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune, dressed as ninja from the Mist Village, raised their hands, giving up the match.

"Where are you?!"

"You've quit?"

"That guy who's just as good at illusions as Teacher Hong actually withdrew from the competition?"

Kiba, Shino, and Hinata were all very surprised by Kurenai and Shizune's departure.

They encountered this Mist Ninja squad in the Forest of Death, and only Kurenai Yuhi made a move.

They were so thoroughly tormented by Kurenai Yuhi's illusion techniques that they almost thought they were facing their teacher.

To their surprise, a Mist Ninja who could fight against the three of them withdrew from the competition so easily.

He clearly had a good chance of making it to the final round!

"Zabuza, you Kirigakure ninja came here to demonstrate your village's strength, right? And you're giving up at this stage?"

"What exactly is your purpose in coming to Konoha from Kirigakure?"

Standing behind the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake also looked puzzled. He frowned and asked Zabuza beside him.

Although Kirigakure participated in the Chunin Exams, it was said to be for the purpose of establishing peaceful diplomatic relations with Konoha.

But in the Chunin Exams, it's not like you have to buy favors and give up on your own initiative, is it?

After all, the purpose of the Chunin Exams is to showcase the strength of each country and attract clients.

"Hmph, those three are Lord Qianyu's disciples; I have no way of commanding them!"

Zabuza Momochi directly shifted the blame onto Chiga.

"Qianyu... he didn't come?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake frowned even more deeply.

"Are you sure you want him to come?!"

Mochi Zabuza replied.

Hearing this, Kakashi Hatake fell silent. Indeed, if someone who could frighten Zabuza Momochi into fleeing in panic came to Konoha, they would really be worried.

Kushina, watching from the stands, looked at Chiga in surprise: "Huh, why isn't Asuma leaving? Aren't you afraid he'll be discovered?"

Unlike before, with Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai present, the risk of being discovered is much greater.

This is also why Kurenai chose to give up.

Shizune, on the other hand, is a medical ninja and is much weaker in combat. Since everyone who has reached this stage is quite strong, she gave up.

Chika shrugged and said, "This kid's Oedipus complex is acting up. He insists on showing off in front of this old man who doesn't even know him, to prove himself. What can I do?"

His original plan was to have Sarutobi Asuma and the other two reach this point so that they could all leave the scene.

But Sarutobi Asuma stubbornly wanted to show off.

Chiga thought that since the fur was already shaved quite clean, she would just let him be.

"whispering sound!"

Kushina also pursed her lips upon hearing this.

One is a rebellious teenager with delusions of grandeur, and the other is a grumpy old man who likes to play the role of a strict father but is bad at talking. It's no wonder that the two of them can't get along!

After Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune gave up, Hayate Gekko, seeing that no one else was raising their hands, immediately announced the start of the preliminary rounds.

As the electronic screen scrolls, participants are randomly selected.

The first round of the match began very quickly.

Sasuke was the first to appear, but his opponent had changed to a member of the White Team from the Land of Water. As for who it was, he was just a minor character, so we didn't need to care about his name.

Only Sasuke and the unnamed Mist Ninja remained on the field; everyone else had gone to the stands.

Upon arriving, they finally spotted Chika and Kushina in the corner.

Sakura Haruno and Orochimaru, disguised as a Sound Ninja, had seen Chiga in her Anbu attire before, so they recognized her at a glance.

[Negative emotions from Orochimaru, emotion value +50!]

Faced with this sudden emotional outburst, Chiga looked up at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru also noticed Chiga looking over, and smiled, nodding to him in acknowledgment.

Chiga saw no need to expose it.

As for Sakura Haruno, she pointed at Chiga and whispered to Kakashi Hatake, "Kakashi-sensei, it's that Anbu!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake looked at Chiga.

"You mean this ANBU member is the one with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Sakura Haruno said, "Hmm, judging from his conversation with Sasuke, he seems to be a member of the Uchiha clan too!"

"Impossible! Only Sasuke and Itachi remain from the Uchiha clan!"

Kakashi Hatake shook his head.

"But those Sharingan eyes can't be faked!"

Sakura Haruno said, "Sasuke is absolutely certain he saw that person's Sharingan!"

"this"

Kakashi Hatake also frowned, unsure how to explain.

"The first match begins!"

The match offstage began with a soft shout from Moonlight Gale.

Without the interference of the cursed seal, and having been thoroughly humiliated by Chiga who was disguised as Zabuza, he was able to escape.

Uchiha Sasuke is even stronger than he is in the original story.

A set of taijutsu techniques copied from Lee easily took down the nameless Mist Ninja.

Zabuza Momochi, standing to the side, was so angry that his face darkened.

Although the two Mist Ninja in Team White were also elites of the Hidden Mist Village, Sasuke Uchiha was, after all, a genius ninja who graduated first in his class from the Hidden Leaf Village Ninja Academy. Of course, he was not someone that these nameless Mist Ninja could easily fool.

The game continues.

However, Chiga and Kushina didn't want to watch anything that wasn't related to them.

The pecking among the novice chickens is not like the fighting in the later stages, which lasts for three days and two nights and can't stop.

In addition, after five days of training in the Forest of Death, their chakra reserves were low, and the matches ended quickly.

It wasn't long before it was Sarutobi Asuma's turn.

His opponent was none other than Temari from the Sand Village.

"Heh, the son of the Third Hokage versus the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, that's quite an interesting sight!"

Seeing this, Chiga became somewhat interested.

He watched Sarutobi Asuma walk out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he suddenly felt that this boy looked a lot like Asuma Sarutobi when he was a child, except that he was missing hair.

"Damn it, it's this guy!"

When Nara Shikamaru saw Sarutobi Asuma appear, his face immediately turned serious.

"What's wrong?"

The large Sarutobi Asuma, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked at his three subordinates with a puzzled expression.

"Teacher Asuma, this guy really gave us a good beating in the Forest of Death!"

Nara Shikamaru said with lingering fear.

Yamanaka Ino's expression turned angry, and she said resentfully, "That's right, and she even mocked me for not being good-looking!"

"Oh? Really! So how did you escape?"

"Big Sarutobi Asuma asked curiously."

"That's what makes us unhappy!"

"He actually thought we were too weak, and then he let us go!"

Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback, and then looked down at the audience.

Seemingly noticing the gaze of the larger Sarutobi Asuma, the smaller Sarutobi Asuma raised his head and gave the larger Sarutobi Asuma a smile.

Asuma Daigo Sarutobi raised an eyebrow. Good grief, he seemed to have been provoked!

And why does this kid's face look so familiar?

"Asuma!"

At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi also walked over and said to Asuma Sarutobi, "Don't you think this boy looks a lot like you when you were little?"

"what?"

Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback, and then he realized where that sense of familiarity came from.

"Asuma-sensei, that guy isn't just like you, he's also a ninja skilled in using wind-style chakra!"

Nara Shikamaru said.

"Is that so?"

Just as Sarutobi Asuma's squad was discussing, the battle below had already begun.

Sarutobi Asuma and Temari are both wind-attribute characters.

However, they manifested their wind attributes in different ways. Temari was more adept at using wind-attribute ninjutsu, while Sarutobi Asuma used wind-attribute chakra in his weapons.

As for the ending, needless to say, the smaller version of Sarutobi Asuma had been tormented by Chika, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Minato.

None of these four are below the level of a Kage.

Under Sarutobi Asuma's sharp katana, Temari's fan was slashed open, and the rest of the battle is history.

competition is over.

On his way back, Sarutobi Asuma turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen, seemingly wanting to see what his father thought of the battle.

Unfortunately, he did not see any admiration in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

When passing by Chiga and Kushina.

Chiga asked, "Did you have fun?"

"not bad!"

Sarutobi Asuma grinned.

He finally understood why Chiga liked to tease them so much; it felt really good!

This bad habit of the pit-dwelling people must be passed down from generation to generation.

"By the way, you played well in this match too! You didn't let me down!"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma was about to express his pride, but after glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen in the distance, he said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, no matter how well you fight, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the old man's approval!"

Upon hearing this, Chiga and Kushina both rolled their eyes at Sarutobi Asuma.

This guy's IQ is really not high.

Regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi recognized him or not, even with Asuma Sarutobi's current identity as a Kirigakure ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never praise Asuma Sarutobi to his face.

And you should feel a lot of fatherly love from the fact that he didn't put you on his assassination list!

The next match was Bai's turn, and his opponent was Tenten from Might Guy's team.

Seeing Bai, who was even prettier than her every day, suddenly ignited an unnamed flame within her.

Upon chatting again, she discovered that the other person was actually a man. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood, realizing that she had been outdone by a man.

After losing common ground, Tian Tian would immediately take the initiative, unleashing a smooth combo that did no damage whatsoever to Du Bai.

Bai was a gentle person with an impeccable temper. Even when faced with a barrage of hidden weapons every day, he didn't resort to violence. He simply sent her off in a very ladylike... well, very gentlemanly way.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised for a moment when faced with the sudden appearance of the Minazuki clan's bloodline limit, and looked thoughtfully at Zabuza Momochi.

In addition, the Mist Ninja who looked exactly like his son made it clear that the Mist Village had come prepared for this competition.

With the participation of the Mist Ninja in this preliminary round, coupled with the changes brought by Chiga, the order of battle has changed somewhat. However, some matches seem to be destined to continue as they were.

Next up is the match between Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka.

As the ninja with the highest unpredictability, even though Naruto Uzumaki is much stronger than in the original work, he still ended up questioning his life because of Kiba Inuzuka's fart.

"Chiga, is he really my and Minato's child?"

At this moment, Kushina covered her face and questioned Chiga for the third time.

"I think so!"

Chiga isn't so sure anymore.

Kushina wanted to say a few more things, but she was quickly drawn to Hinata Hyuga's actions.

"Hey, hey, hey, look! That Hyuga clan girl has made her move!"

"She's bringing Naruto some ointment. Ha, her own teammate is still lying in bed, and she's giving it to Naruto instead. What a cunning woman!"

"Hey, my silly son, can't you even understand what this means?"

"Go up there, A!"

Kushina complained with exasperation.

With a sigh, Kushina then asked Chiga curiously, "By the way, Chiga, I've been busy with Karin's affairs these past few days. Have you found out anything about this Hyuga clan girl?"

"Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, is a classmate of Naruto Uzumaki."

Upon hearing this, Chiga gave a brief introduction.

"The main branch of the Hyuga clan, huh? Not bad, they're more than a match for my foolish son!"

Kushina stroked her chin, then said with a hint of regret, "It's just that this girl's personality is... a bit too gentle!"
