Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 601 Three Days, Preparation

When Kakashi said they had passed the second round of the test, everyone present was filled with doubt.

Only Shikamaru was the first to react.

"I see. So, apart from all of us here, all the other teams were eliminated either due to internal strife or other reasons...?"

As Shikamaru spoke, he looked at the others.

Naruto, looking completely bewildered, stepped forward: "But, but, didn't Kakashi-sensei just say that our team passed? But there are so many teams here..."

Hinata sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, while Sasuke chopped Naruto on the head with a chop: "You idiot! Didn't Kakashi-sensei say it's 'our team'? It's a team made up of all these teams!"

Naruto finally realized, "Oh! I see! I understand now!"

With that, Naruto lunged at Sasuke: "You bastard, you damn Sasuke! Can't you just talk properly?!"

The two started fighting, and the people around them couldn't bear to watch.

However, some people looked at Shikamaru with thoughtful expressions.

Gaara, however, looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who were playfully fighting.

Without a doubt, Naruto is Gaara's strongest competitor for first place in this exam.

That was before.

Now...

Gaara looked at Nara Shikamaru.

This guy...

So you figured out the rules for this second round in just one day...?

and……

Thinking back to earlier today, if it weren't for that team from the Star Ninja Village questioning Shikamaru...

It seems Shikamaru really will just carry everyone through the game.

It wouldn't be like now, with only 18 people passing through.

but……

Gaara thought of something.

He remembered that before the Chunin Exams, the Hokage of Konoha Village seemed to have arranged rewards for everyone from first to 100th place...

In this situation...

How should we arrange them?!

……

How to rank the rewards is You Ya's business, not something these candidates should be concerned with.

Therefore, after Kakashi announced the end of the second round of exams, all the examinees were informed by Yua that they could leave the Forest of Death.

Three days later, the third and final round of the Chunin Exams will begin.

This exam will determine who is the strongest candidate in this round of Chunin Exams.

It was also an opportunity to show his face in front of the entire ninja world.

After the second round of exams ended, since it was late at night, everyone went home.

It's so late, they really should rest.

Soon, Konoha Village fell into silence.

But beneath this silence, undercurrents are stirring...

……

Obito sighed as he looked at the ten points in his hand.

Ultimately, he didn't resort to any manipulative tactics against the other teams.

He really wasn't cut out for it.

I don't know how my minimum score is. How much money will I get in the end?

Soon, he arrived at the place where the proctors were gathered.

Here, Yamanaka Inoichi, Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, Obito, along with Uzuki Yugao and Yuhi Kurenai, form the team of six proctors for this exam.

They were also the main force behind this attempt to incite infighting among the test takers.

Obito looked at the others and shrank back, feeling that his score was probably the lowest.

However, when Nara Shikaku appeared and took out his phone, he said to them, "Now let's announce the rankings: Uchiha Itachi, 19 points, ranked first; Yuhi Kurenai, 16 points, ranked second; Uzuki Yugao and Yamanaka Inoichi, 13 points, ranked third and fourth; Uchiha Obito, 10 points, ranked fifth; and Hatake Kakashi, 1 point, ranked last."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Obito burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! Kakashi! You only got 1 point?! 1 point?!"

Kakashi calmly looked at Obito, then said softly, "At least I tried. Unlike some guy who hides in his own little world and is too afraid to come out."

Obito snorted coldly: "I don't care, the fact that you have a lower score than me is something I'm going to laugh at for the rest of my life."

Nara Shikaku looked at the data in his hand and then said to Kakashi, "It's a real pity. If Kakashi hadn't been caught in his hands and passed the second round of the exam, his score would have been 16 points. That would have put him in a tie for second place."

Kakashi shook his head: "There's nothing to regret. Shikamaru is indeed very smart. Even if it weren't for me, others would have fallen into his hands. He realized that the essence of this second round of exams is to make these candidates cooperate rather than compete, so it's impossible for anyone to succeed in instigating it."

Obito's eyes widened, and then he looked at Kakashi in shock.

Because the test taker failed, 15 points were deducted, but that didn't reduce the score to zero...

Am I really that useless?

Obito fell into self-doubt.

"Alright, let bygones be bygones. Now, the six proctors, go and prepare for the third round of exams. You will be responsible for the safety and order of the third round of exams."

As soon as Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Obito gaped in shock, then quickly asked, "Wait! Wasn't there only a second round?"

Shikaku looked at Obito with a puzzled expression: "Of course there can't only be a second round. Didn't you say when you signed up that you wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams? Since the Chunin Exams aren't over yet, you naturally have to continue participating."

Obito was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How many rounds are left in the Chunin Exams?"

"This is the final round. The next round will determine who the ultimate winner is," Shikaku explained.

Obito breathed a sigh of relief.

If that's the case, then it's acceptable.

If the Chunin Exams end too long ago, won't I not see my son for many days?

That won't do.

Kakashi glanced at Obito, snorted coldly, and didn't bother to reply.

Kakashi actually hoped the Chunin Exams could last a little longer.

after all……

Before he had a girlfriend, that old geezer Sakumo Hatake kept urging him to find one.

Now that he's brought Karin back, that old man Hatake Sakumo keeps asking him when he's going to marry Karin.

Damn it, is it going to be that after I marry Hualing, you old bastard will start nagging me every day about having a grandson?!

Ha, I know exactly what you're thinking, Old Deng!

Kakashi had absolutely no respect for his father.

He could see that since his mother's death, Hatake Sakumo had completely let loose.

Basically, his future life has only one goal: to see him get married and have children.

What? You mean Kakashi doesn't want to get married and have children so soon?

Let this little one experience what fatherly love is all about!
