In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 123 A Gathering of Young Heroes

Chiya subtly scanned the surrounding genin for reference.

First, let's skip over all the minor characters who don't even have names.

Rain Ninja and Taki Ninja can be skipped.

The Grass Ninja should pay attention to two people; one of them is Orochimaru disguised as a Grass Ninja.

The other one is Karin, who hasn't become a power bank yet and doesn't have any bite marks on her body.

Because the early part of the story was too far in the past, Chiya only remembered that Karin appeared during the Chunin Exams, but forgot which village she came from.

Therefore, I didn't specifically go to rescue her.

Seeing the headband from Kusagakure Village now, I suddenly remembered.

I reckon her mother has already been drained dry by the Hidden Grass Village.

We could consider handing her over to Tsunade for training later.

As for whether Erzhuzi can withstand the beatings he suffers in the future without Karin as his "power bank," that's not his concern. Anyway, he has the protagonist's halo, and the old man, the Sage of Six Paths, will be watching him secretly.

If all else fails, his stepfather could step in and help him if necessary.

Then there's the Six Paths of the Sound Village, and the sacrifices of the First and Second Hokage, Kin and Zaku, who were resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

It has to be said that Orochimaru really went too far in his attempt to artificially elevate the Third Hokage's strength and create the illusion that he was the "strongest Hokage of all time."

The power that can be exerted by Impure World Reincarnation is related to the offerings made.

This is especially true for the most powerful ninjas.

The extent to which one can exert their former strength depends almost entirely on the strength of the offering.

Two genin were prepared as sacrifices for the First and Second Hokage, and they were resurrected using the still immature Impure World Reincarnation technique.

No wonder it was so disappointing.

Moreover, both Hokage, under complete control, lacked any combat intelligence.

If it weren't for the fact that he was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, he probably would have been killed countless times by that old man, the Third Hokage.

After Sound Ninja comes Sand Ninja. I've already met Gaara, Kankuro, and the three siblings Temari, so there's nothing to worry about.

In the end, only Konoha remained.

At that moment, Team 7, which included Naruto and Sasuke, entered.

Excluding Class 7, the only ones whose names we can recall are Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, Tenten, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Kabuto.

Among them, Chiya glanced at Hinata, the little loli, a few more times.

Thinking back to those two winter days.

Upon meeting this little girl, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Qianye's face beneath his bandages.

Compared to the original work, Hinata is still shy, but Chiya can sense that she seems to have become much stronger.

At least, he's not much weaker than Neji, who is also a member of the Hyuga clan.

It seems that this little girl has really changed.

Perhaps it was some kind of premonition, but Hinata noticed Chiya looking at her. The moment Chiya looked away, Hinata turned her head and glanced at him, a strange flutter in her heart. She asked in confusion, "Why is that Rain Ninja looking at me? I don't think I know him."

Orochimaru and Kabuto also noticed Chiya's gaze.

As an old acquaintance.

The two recognized Qianye at a glance, and were shocked to see each other, a look of seriousness appearing in their eyes.

Orochimaru, disguised as a Grass Ninja, sat behind Chiya, the two back to back.

"I really didn't expect that Senya-kun would actually come. I suppose this lady over here must be Ms. Yekura. May I ask who this is?" Orochimaru glanced at Itachi out of the corner of his eye. Unlike his usual deep and hoarse voice, his voice was somewhat sharp, and it was actually a woman's voice.

Chiya knew that Orochimaru was currently possessing the body of a female ninja. He guessed that the voice was the original female ninja's voice.

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing nearby, naturally recognized Kabuto and Orochimaru, but he did not reveal his thoughts. He simply crossed his arms and lowered his head, making it impossible for Orochimaru to recognize him.

Seeing this, Chiya felt there was no need to reveal anything to Orochimaru, and simply said, "Just a new intern. The boss asked me to bring him over to broaden his horizons."

Qianye also changed his voice, making it somewhat deep.

"Interns, that's quite interesting." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with suspicion as he asked with interest, "So, Chiya-kun, what are you preparing for by coming all this way to take this boring exam?"

"Didn't you come here to participate too?" Qianye asked instead of answering.

"I've come to test whether Sasuke is qualified to be my vessel. I'm sure Senya-kun won't break our agreement," Orochimaru answered frankly, knowing he couldn't hide it from Senya.

The moment those words left his mouth, Chiya's Observation Haki clearly sensed Itachi's emotion. He smiled and said calmly, "Whatever you say, just don't harm the Jinchuriki's life."

As the two conversed in hushed tones, Naruto, the most restless member of the examination hall, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, raised his right hand above his head, pointed at the crowd, and shouted, "I am Uzumaki Naruto, and I will absolutely not lose to any of you. Understand?"

These words caused an uproar in the large examination hall. Everyone expressed hostility and ridicule towards Naruto.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of smoke erupted from the podium in the examination room with a loud bang.

A group of Konoha examiners, led by Ibiki Morino, made a dazzling appearance.

The first round of the Chunin Exams has officially begun.

The first round of exams can be difficult in some ways, but easy in others.

Nine extremely difficult competition questions. Cheating is not allowed in any clumsy way. Cheating must be done without the knowledge of the proctors and a third party. Two Chunin who know the answers are writing down the correct answers. Being caught five times will result in elimination. The competition tests the Genin's criminal investigation skills or basic abilities. You can do the questions even if you can't cheat.

There's one bonus question that tests the team cohesion of the genin; those who don't give up will pass.

Including Itachi Uchiha, everyone present either copied or wrote it themselves.

Only Chiya, Yekura, and Naruto have not yet started writing.

Yekura was able to do it because Chiya had given her a heads-up beforehand, while Naruto simply didn't know anything.

Ultimately, encouraged by Naruto's social skills, they faced Ibiki Morino's bonus challenge.

Many people were eliminated in the first round of exams.

However, in addition to the original number of successful applicants: 26 groups to 78 people, there were three more, including Qianye.

"I am Mitarashi Anko, the examiner for the second round of exams. Come with me, juniors."

However, before everyone could rejoice, a black package burst through the classroom window and transformed into a curtain, fixing itself on the exam platform.

Mitarashi Anko makes her appearance in an extremely exaggerated way.

Everyone in the room stared at Mitarashi Anko, speechless.

The same applies to Chiya.

However, he wasn't speechless about the way Hongdou appeared.

Instead, they were speechless at the image of the red bean.

Her fluffy, light purple, ear-length short hair was tied into a loose ponytail. She had a sweet face with a slightly quirky personality. Her flesh-colored fishnet bodysuit showed off her hot figure, and she wore a beige trench coat over it, making her look very dashing.

Chiya had no idea how such a beautiful woman could transform into a fat middle-aged woman in Boruto.
