Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 650 Second Round

Regardless of what methods Minato Namikaze used to get the Queen of the Land of Snow to help him, he brought his daughter to Konoha to hold a concert, even though it was only for a year.

In short, the area under Naruto's jurisdiction had the largest population of all areas at the end of the year.

Nobody seemed to care about this result at all.

If we lose, we lose. Candidates aren't judged solely on their grades.

Of course, no results are also unacceptable.

However, at the very end of the list are Kakashi and Shikamaru Nara.

These two guys didn't seem to care much about the candidates in the first round.

For them, making it to the second round would be fine, but if they couldn't...

So it seems like nothing's wrong?

Most of the ten candidates did not show any particular emotion regarding the final ranking.

Only Naruto and Sasuke showed great excitement.

Naruto stated that this was the first time he had defeated Sasuke outside of combat.

Sasuke stubbornly insisted: "You got this because of your parents! It doesn't count! It absolutely doesn't count!"

Naruto chuckled: Why doesn't that count?! My parents are my strength too, didn't you ask your brother for help?

Sasuke stubbornly insisted: "It doesn't count anyway."

Yeah, those two are arguing again.

After the first round of population testing is over, the second round of testing will follow immediately.

The second test: innovation and invention.

No matter what kind of research it is, as long as you can come up with something new, this round will be a success.

None of the candidates in the first round crossed Youya's bottom line, so no one was eliminated.

These people either can't think straight and never even considered doing things that would stop at nothing to attract people.

For example, Naruto.

Naruto even used the money he swindled from his sister to invest; he simply didn't have the mindset to do anything to meet the conditions.

And the other one...

Those are people who have brains and have already thought of ways to increase the population by any means necessary, but they just haven't tried it.

That's right, it's Nara Shikamaru, Sasuke, and the others.

They clearly know exactly what methods can be used to attract population in a short period of time, such as enacting some extremely effective policies to attract population.

Or they could simply give a certain amount of money to each person who comes, which is different from the kind of encouragement for childbirth.

Encouraging childbirth is in a way exactly what Yua wanted, because even now, Konoha Village is still severely lacking in population.

Encouraging childbirth would be exactly what Yuya wanted, wouldn't it?

As long as you don't resort to any means to increase population, Youya won't eliminate you from the game.

The candidates had basically guessed this.

It goes without saying that people like Uchiha Shisui, who had served before, could also see that something was wrong with this assessment.

They just give a population requirement and then don't mention any other hidden conditions?

Hehehe, how come this looks so much like their Chunin Exams?

Oh, I forgot, the Chunin Exams were actually this Hokage's doing!

If you only focus on the final result, you won't even know how you got eliminated.

Therefore, it's better to avoid doing things that might cross the line.

These people would rather do nothing.

However, Minato Namikaze's evil tricks set a precedent for these people.

That's right, in the first round, Minato Namikaze helped his son win first place.

But there are still two years left, and two more assessments.

So it's really uncertain who will ultimately win the Hokage title.

Moreover... Minato Namikaze's actions this time set an example for others.

That's how they tested where Youya's bottom line was.

That makes things much easier.

As soon as the questions for the second round of the exam were announced, one person immediately received several invitations.

That's right, Orochimaru.

It's understandable, since the assessment was for the position of Hokage, and it's perfectly normal for these people to use every means possible.

Although Orochimaru is disgusting in appearance and even more disgusting in his experiments, conducting human experiments in the lab every few days, his relationship with Yua is quite close.

Back in the day, when Orochimaru was driven away by Yua, countless people rejoiced.

In the end, it was discovered that Orochimaru was not at peace even after leaving the village; he was still conducting experiments outside!

Later, it was confirmed that Orochimaru had been receiving financial support from Yua.

Well, this incident was originally going to damage Yua's reputation.

However, with the rapid development of the medical field, many people have been spared from death in hospitals, and more and more people have come to understand Youya.

After all, it's a life-saving ability. Orochimaru, you can be a little disgusting if you want.

Later, Yuya recruited both Orochimarus and had them work together to develop faster networks.

No one found it strange that there were two Orochimarus.

It's not surprising that anything happens to this guy, you know?

Moreover, this guy publicly announced the possibility of a method for achieving immortality and the actual test subjects.

Yes, it was him.

result……

Countless people eagerly pursued immortality, only to be dumbfounded when they saw the various creatures that had shed their skin and been reborn from snakes and other animals.

Is this immortality?!

You've turned into an animal and you're telling me it's immortality?!

Yeah, in a sense it is indeed immortality, but...

What kind of immortality is this?!

They're not even human anymore!

After that, the fact that Orochimaru was a pervert was recognized by the entire ninja world.

Orochimaru also has something to say: Does he even know what it means to suffer the pain of flesh and blood?

Do you even know what evolution is?!

They're always making movies about all sorts of mechanical bodies, with brains stored in culture chambers and then they create mechanical bodies...

No, this is even more perverse than my method of evolution!

Hmm... It's very likely that the audience knows it's fake, but the things Orochimaru creates are real!

If we don't boycott you, who will we boycott?

However, putting aside all these abnormal behaviors, Orochimaru is indeed the most outstanding scientist in the entire ninja world.

Although this scientist devoted all his energy to biology, the technologies he developed, lured by the promise of profit, have now genuinely changed people's lives.

All I can say is that if this guy were willing to give up biology and devote himself to physics, then Youya might have already led everyone out of the planet and conquered the universe.

And now...

This second round of testing will assess innovation...

Inventions and creations...

Do you really think this thing is simple?

joke……

If it were that simple, the ninja world wouldn't be in its current state.

However, it can be difficult in some ways, and easy in others.

Orochimaru's abilities are absolutely sufficient to perfectly handle this test.

That's when they started harassing him directly.

Thus, the Land of Grass:

Orochimaru stared expressionlessly at Jiraiya, who was looking gloating, and then glanced at Himiko beside Jiraiya.

"I never expected that someone like you would be willing to take others on a tour of the ninja world."

Jiraiya chuckled and poured Orochimaru a glass of wine: "I've already toured the ninja world with Himiko, but before we only went to sparsely populated areas. This time, I plan to visit the capitals of various countries and see just how much has changed."

Orochimaru picked up the wine glass but didn't drink. Instead, he looked at Jiraiya and said, "So you were just passing by and thought you'd come see me?"

Jiraiya scratched his cheek and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right! That's exactly it, that's exactly it."

Orochimaru sighed: "You know what, you really can't lie."

Jiraiya coughed awkwardly, but still stubbornly insisted, "I was indeed passing by, but someone did ask me for a favor."

Orochimaru downed the sake in his glass and calmly looked at Jiraiya: "It's your student named Minato Namikaze, right?"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in surprise: "You actually know Minato?"

Orochimaru rolled his eyes: "This isn't a closed place isolated from the human world; it's connected to the outside world. I have your student's information here."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up: "That makes things easier. Orochimaru, come help my disciple's son. He's practically my grand-disciple!"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with disdain: "I'm not going."

Jiraiya smacked his lips and then gave a smug smile: "Hehehe, I knew you were thinking that way."

It's okay, it's fine if you don't come to help, but...

I just slipped some drugs into your drink. If you don't want to embarrass yourself later, you'd better say yes.

Orochimaru looked calmly at Jiraiya: "My body is immune to any toxins."

Jiraiya chuckled, revealing a lewd expression: "Of course I know that, so it's not poison."

Orochimaru frowned: "What kind of medicine is that?"

Jiraiya coughed, and Himiko, who was standing next to him, raised her hand to cover half of her face.

How embarrassing...

However, Jiraiya said that she had to be present in order to lull Orochimaru into a false sense of security.

Jiraiya, far from being ashamed, proudly declared, "It's a miraculous medicine that allows someone my age to regain his virility!"

Himiko couldn't help but punch Jiraiya in the chest.

Orochimaru frowned.

Then, he looked at Jiraiya and said calmly, "I see, but..."

Orochimaru pulled a small, still-pulsating ball of flesh directly from his mouth: "My digestive system is completely independent, so even if you give me this kind of medicine, it won't work."

Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru with his mouth agape in shock: "Is something like that even possible?!"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya calmly: "If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."

"etc!"

Jiraiya lunged forward and grabbed Orochimaru's leg.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya speechlessly: "You're still as shameless as ever."

Jiraiya chuckled, "Well, considering our past friendship... how about I lend you a hand? I don't need much, just your independent digestive system technology!"

Orochimaru: "..."

You're really good at talking...

……

"What?! They say new biotechnology has been discovered in Naruto's area?!"

Yuya looked at Nara Shikaku, who was reporting to him, with a completely bewildered expression.

Nara Shikaku nodded: "Yes, Hokage-sama, this is our latest report."

Nara Shikaku said, flipping open the folder in his hand: "It is said that the relevant technology was obtained from Lord Orochimaru."

Yuya sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Seriously, what's Orochimaru thinking? Why does he have to get involved in something like this?"

Nara Shikaku continued flipping through the report: "It's said that Lord Jiraiya was freeloading at Lord Orochimaru's place and causing trouble in Lord Orochimaru's laboratory. Lord Orochimaru had no choice but to hand over this technology in order to get rid of Lord Jiraiya..."

Yuya looked at Nara Shikaku in shock: "Is Orochimaru out of his mind?! Why doesn't he just kick Jiraiya out?!"

You Ya realized he had said the wrong thing as soon as he finished speaking.

Regardless, Jiraiya's strength is undeniable.

And this guy is also an expert in infiltration.

In the manga, Jiraiya already demonstrated his superb infiltration skills during his battle with Pain.

Orochimaru could only prevent Jiraiya from dying by shutting down all the laboratories.

Orochimaru definitely wouldn't agree to that.

It really is true that getting rid of Jiraiya is the only solution...

You Ya sighed, "Forget about him, let's just leave it at that. What exactly is the function of this technology?"

Nara Shikaku quickly glanced at the information and then said, "This can rebuild another digestive system in the human body."

For patients with anorexia, a completely different digestive system can be introduced, which can even subtly change the patient's appetite.

Meanwhile, patients with stomach damage can have their systems directly replaced, and there are many other medical options available.

Most importantly, because the digestive system is independent, if poison is ingested through the mouth, this independent digestive system can control the poison, and if the reaction is quick, it may not even have any effect on the body.

"Hiss..." You Xi took a deep breath. Orochimaru, that guy...

Sure enough, he's got some skills...

"In that case, Naruto should be number one in this assessment."

Youya shook his head.

Nara Shikaku scratched his cheek, thought for a moment, and said, "If it's this, it might not really be Naruto..."

Yuya looked at Nara Shikaku with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"

Nara Shikaku handed the report in his hand directly to Yua: "Hokage-sama, you can take a look at this. It's... Hyuga Neji's... innovative work."

Youya blinked.

Neji Hyuga's innovative creation?!

Could it be like Naruto, where someone behind him somehow got his hands on it...?

You Ya opened the folder, and then, when he saw the contents, his eyes narrowed.

You really shouldn't say that...

If that's the case, then it's something that only a master of Gentle Fist like Hyuga Neji could create.

A design drawing of a robot incorporating the Gentle Fist style of the Hyuga clan.

This robot only has two arms; the rest is just a piece of sheet metal connected together.

Although it looks extremely simple, but...

The brochure says that this thing can store chakra and can be used to perform Gentle Fist and even techniques like Rotation.

If this is true...

Neji would be awesome then.
