Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 593 Nighttime Rules

Inside the Hokage meeting room:

"The quality of the candidates this time is indeed very good," You Ya said to the other shadows from his seat.

Everyone agreed with You Ya's statement and nodded.

"In comparison, the two teams from Kumogakure... seem to have performed rather poorly," Onoki said sarcastically to the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage glared angrily at Onoki.

Onoki wasn't intimidated and stared back at the Fourth Raikage.

You Ya smiled slightly: "This round of exams..."

I think the Hidden Cloud Village might perform very well.

The other film and village representatives all looked at Yuya.

Onoki asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Yuya chuckled: "These kids from Kumogakure are all... well, hot-tempered, so they don't think too much. They might not follow any of the rules, or they might follow them all. In any case, they will make their choices in a very short time, which is already a huge advantage."

Onoki immediately understood Yua's meaning and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, that's right, that's right! These brats from Kumogakure aren't very bright; they can't possibly think too deeply!!"

The Fourth Raikage's face immediately darkened.

You Ya gave an awkward smile; he really didn't mean to be sarcastic.

Mocking the Fourth Raikage is one thing, but these children from Kumogakure, all under 15 years old...

There's really no need to mock them.

……

Within the Forest of Death, the first squad of Hidden Cloud Village.

"Waaaaah, what are all these things?!"

A short man took a piece of paper from a tree and frowned as he looked at his companion beside him.

The above content is:

—All the rules are true—

"Who cares? Let's just pretend for now. Later, when I meet someone I know who's smart enough, I can show it to them."

"Hmm...that makes sense."

The person who spoke first nodded, then continued, "So, do you know who's smarter?"

The group looked at each other for a moment, then made a joint decision...

Never mind, let's get going first.

And so, the first squad from Kumogakure set off.

A short while later, this squad encountered another squad.

Interestingly, they encountered examinees from Takigakure.

"Hahaha! It's like having a road to heaven but not taking it, and getting it all without any effort at all."

The three people from Kumogakure stood in front of the group from Takigakure, laughing heartily.

Back in Takigakure, the children were puzzled and began to whisper among themselves...

"There's no door to hell, is there?"

"That's a dead end!"

"Shut up! Is that the key point?!"

One of them patted his companion with some dissatisfaction, and then the group faced the Hidden Cloud Village at the same time.

One of them spoke softly, "If you want to fight us, then the Takigakure village will fight you to the bitter end."

At this point, one of them pointed to a child from Kumogakure and asked, "But... are your teachers allowed to come in too?"

The person whose name was mentioned immediately broke down: "I'm only 13 years old! I just graduated, okay?!"

"13?! You fucking 13?! You're almost two meters tall, aren't you?!"

"So what if I eat a lot and grow well?!"

"Damn it, your physique is totally cheating!"

"None of your business! Fight or not! Just say it!"

"Fine, I'll fight! Are you scared of me?"

"Come on! Let's do it!"

"You go first!"

"Why should I make the first move if you're not going to?!"

"Hey, I have a short temper, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Come on! Let's fight!"

The two-meter-tall strong man from the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, ready to attack the other party.

Just then, someone nearby pulled him back.

"Wait, something's not right."

The two-meter-tall burly man looked at his companion with the puzzled expression of a child.

Seeing the childlike confusion on his face, his companion's lips twitched.

To be honest, if I weren't from the same village as you, I'd want to curse you too.

How did it grow up to look like this?

The man took a deep breath and then said in a low voice to the people of Takigakure, "Have you obtained any information related to this exam?"

The captain of the Takigakure squad, arms crossed and a nonchalant expression, said, "What's it to you?"

"You!" The two-meter-tall man took a step forward, but was stopped by his captain.

The captain took a folded piece of paper from his pocket: "Intelligence exchange, how about it?"

The captain of the Takigakure squad narrowed his eyes.

Then, he chuckled lightly: "Tch, it seems that not everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village is a fool."

As they spoke, the captain of the Takigakure squad walked over, and the two exchanged papers and began to read them.

What Takigakure saw was a sheet of paper with all the rules correct.

What the Cloud Village captain saw was this sentence:

—The entire squad that attacks the enemy first during the battle will be eliminated—

The captain of the first squad of Kumogakure immediately raised an eyebrow: "You're quite the schemer."

The Takigakure squad leader handed the paper back to the Kumogakure captain: "Hmph, it's so-so."

The two exchanged the information back, and the people from Takigakure prepared to leave.

As they were leaving, one of them couldn't help but turn back to confirm, "Is this guy really only 13 years old?"

"You he@#!&/+?*"

After a period of birdsong and fragrant flowers, the two groups parted ways and went off to explore in two different directions.

……

Hokage Meeting Room:

"Not bad, that kid from Takigakure really figured out how to bluff," Yua praised with a smile.

The representative from Takigakure also smiled.

Without a doubt, this scene alone has made Takigakure famous throughout the entire ninja world.

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly.

Just as he was about to brag about the people from his village, he heard Onoki, who was standing next to him, look at the Fourth Raikage with a puzzled expression: "That kid... is he really only 13 years old?"

This is a bit...

The Fourth Raikage was stunned for a moment, then instantly broke down: "You!"

Yuya quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, we examined that child in Konoha Village. His bone age is definitely 13 years old. Appearance can be faked, but bone age can't be faked."

That child didn't grow up the way he wished.

Ōnoki nodded in agreement with Yua's statement.

To reiterate, targeting the Hidden Cloud Village is fine, but targeting the children of the Hidden Cloud Village because of this...

That would be rather inhumane.

That's so tasteless.

……

Konoha Village's Nara Shikamaru Squad:

Choji Akimichi jumped up a big tree and took a piece of paper from it.

Look at what's written above:

—A mysterious enemy will attack the test takers tonight; you need to find a way to drive them away.—

Shikamaru stroked his chin and said, "This so-called mysterious enemy should be Ino, your father's proctors..."

Do we need to find the corresponding method...?
