Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 598 Uchiha Itachi: Let's fight each other...

"Star Ninja Village Secret Technique! Star..."

"Snap"

Naruto slapped him across the face. "What the hell are you doing, using some kind of secret technique? What are you doing spinning around in front of me?"

The captain of the Star Ninja Village squad was so dizzy from the beating that any talk of secret techniques was obviously nonsense.

Nara Shikamaru, hands in his pockets, looked at the three members of the Hoshigakure team and said calmly, "Now, can you join our team?"

The captain of the Star Ninja Village squad, his face bruised and swollen, looked at Shikamaru and the others, and said in disbelief:

"The rules say we have to pitch tents at night to move around. Why are you all allowed to move around freely?!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Rules, rules, rules? Why the hell did you cause us trouble during the day?!"

Shikamaru was too lazy to waste words with the three of them. He directly asked them whether they were going to join him or not. If they weren't, Shikamaru would beat them half to death and force them to forfeit.

In the end, the three from Hoshinobi Village had no choice but to agree.

Naruto was somewhat puzzled by Shikamaru's choice.

"Why didn't you just eliminate them, Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, then the final score for this round of exams should be related to the number of participants."

"Number of people?" Naruto asked, somewhat puzzled.

Shikamaru didn't speak, but looked at Sasuke and asked, "Is anyone from the Uchiha clan here to serve as an invigilator for this exam?"

Sasuke nodded: "The only ones I know are my brother and Uncle Obito."

In the distance, Obito, who was eating in the Kamui dimension while watching the commotion, broke through his defenses.

Am I that old? I'm only in my twenties! Not even thirty yet! Where am I old? Where am I old?! How am I an old man?!

I'm suing you for defamation! He's defaming me! He's defaming me!

It's fortunate that Kakashi was also in the exam; otherwise, if he had seen this scene, he might have been tortured for a long time.

The thought of Kakashi's sinister face sent a shiver down Obito's spine.

Forget it, maybe I should just focus on my work.

Obito took out his phone and hesitated as he looked at the ten points displayed on it.

You can get ten million without doing anything. Ten million taels! Not to mention anything else, you can use the highest quality milk powder, diapers, and baby toys for your own kid.

Those damn manufacturers are inhuman; they sell a bunch of broken building blocks and toys for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

I'm really short of money...

and……

I actually wanted to have a few more children.

But raising even one child is already a bit too much; if we had more, it would be a complete disaster...

Some people might be asking this now.

With Obito's strength, how could he possibly be short of money?

Here we'll take a detour into Obito's daily life.

As everyone knows, Obito wasn't very bright.

He is very kind-hearted (Obito was indeed very kind before Rin died in the manga) and often helps the elderly, which leads to a problem.

He didn't do his job very well.

In short, although he is considered a captain in the current security department of Konoha Village, he often has to help the elderly or other people, which slows down his own mediation work. Therefore, his rating will not be very high when the quarterly review comes.

Therefore, it's unlikely that you'll receive a large year-end bonus each year.

I basically only get a fixed salary every month.

That is, about 800,000 to 900,000 taels a month.

This amount of money does seem like a lot, but in families in Konoha Village, mothers don't work.

Do not work for at least the first two years after giving birth.

Because I need to take care of the children.

Obito wanted to give his son the best of everything, which resulted in very high expenses.

Many times, he even needs his parents' help to make a living.

Obito's parents didn't object to this, after all, their grandson was their everything now. They had even put the house in his name. As for Obito...

Obito's parents said: Who is Obito? We don't know him at all. Let's not contact him anymore. I'm afraid our precious grandson will misunderstand.

Therefore, Obito's reason for signing up for the second round of the Chunin Exams is very simple.

He came here specifically for the guaranteed ten million.

But then again...

If I could really instigate internal strife...

Stirring up infighting within a team earns three points, which amounts to three million taels of silver...

How about giving it a try...?

Obito hesitated.

While he hesitated, the other proctors who had signed up for the exam took action.

Uchiha Itachi appeared before the first squad of Kumogakure.

"Are you the proctor for the first round of exams?"

The captain of the Kumogakure squad looked at Itachi Uchiha and asked him a question.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at the three of them, then raised his wrist to check the time.

Then, he stood in front of a wooden house, crossed his arms, leaned against the roof, and closed his eyes to rest.

The captain of the Cloud Village squad exchanged puzzled glances with his team members, the meaning of which was quite clear.

This guy's acting weird, should we give him a try?

The captain's reckless intentions were quickly stopped by his teammates.

Are you kidding me? If you lay a hand on a teacher, you're finished.

So, the three teams from Kumogakure immediately set off to rest.

Half an hour later, Itachi Uchiha opened his eyes, looked at the members of the Cloud Village team, and then smiled slightly and said softly, "Very good, congratulations on avoiding your fate of being eliminated."

As soon as Itachi Uchiha spoke, everyone in the Cloud Village team turned to look at him.

"What do you mean?" Naturally, someone asked Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha smiled slightly, then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and summoned Susanoo.

The overwhelming aura nearly made the three members of the Cloud Village team wet their pants in fear.

Itachi Uchiha withdrew Susanoo after only a few seconds of activation.

Then, Itachi Uchiha looked at the Cloud Village team in front of him and said, "If you had attacked me just now, you would all be eliminated by now."

Looking at the three children in front of him who looked terrified, Uchiha Itachi smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I won't kill you."

The captain of the Cloud Village squad steadied himself and then politely asked Itachi Uchiha, "I'd like to ask you, sir, what were you waiting for?"

Itachi Uchiha glanced at the captain of the Cloud Village squad, then said softly, "I was waiting for another squad to arrive here, but unfortunately, no other squad has come..."

So if you want to pass the second round of testing, you'll have no choice but to... fight each other...

Uchiha Itachi spoke thus.
