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

Chapter 125 The Beginning of the Third Danzo's Disaster

A corner of the Death Forest.

Behind two large trees, two heads peeked out, one male and one female. The male had black hair tied up in a strange broom-like style, while the female had blonde hair tied in a cute ponytail with bangs covering the right side of her forehead. They both looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old.

The two carefully set up the warning lines, so that if any enemy approached, the bells hanging on the lines would ring.

They can also take cover immediately.

Behind them was an obese boy of the same age as them, with a strange horn-shaped hairstyle.

Compared to the former two's wariness, the latter simply took out potato chips from his ninja tool bag and started crunching them.

They are the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi.

"What are you doing, Choji?" Ino walked over to him and couldn't help but complain when she saw Choji start eating without any warning.

"Just a moment, I'm suddenly hungry." Choji grabbed a potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth in big bites.

"What are you saying all of a sudden? There are less than five minutes left before the exam starts," Ino said helplessly.

Just then, the warning bells placed around the area suddenly went off.

"Ino, hide." Shikamaru frowned, pulled Choji along, and hid in the bushes. Ino followed closely behind.

A moment later, footsteps approached, followed by a clear and melodious female voice, "Chien-no, Lady Doyu, weren't you going to find that Uchiha boy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman walked over.

The man was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and the woman covered her head and face. Both of them wore Rain Ninja headbands. They were Chiya and Yekura in disguise.

"Shikamaru, they seem to be looking for Sasuke. Were they the ones who triggered the alarm?" Ino asked in a low voice.

"No, that's not it," Shikamaru shook his head, frowning. He thought to himself, "I never expected it to be these two troublesome guys. This is bad."

As one of the few people in Naruto with an IQ over 200, Shikamaru naturally observed his opponents in secret before the second round of exams.

In his mind, the three members of Chiya, Gaara and his two companions from Sunagakure, Neji and his two companions, and even the three members of Sound Ninja were all extremely dangerous beings.

Especially Chiya and Gaara.

It gave him a truly chilling feeling.

He had only experienced this kind of situation with those Jonin.

Qianye glanced at the three people hiding in the bushes, pursed her lips, and said, "It's still early. We can find a roll of paper first and then go over."

Yekura also noticed Ino-Shika-Cho and chuckled, "Lord Doyu, it seems the scroll has been secured."

The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were shocked, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Shikamaru secretly groaned, wondering if they were doomed.

Suddenly, three kunai shot out, accompanied by the sound of sharp blades cutting through the air. Qianye didn't even look, caught them casually, and then threw them back in the direction they came from.

Ah...ah...ah.

Amidst a series of screams, three figures plummeted from the sky. Like Qianye and his companion, they too wore Rain Ninja headbands.

"They took down three enemies so easily." The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio felt increasingly terrified.

Yecang glanced at the three Rain Ninja corpses and said hesitantly, "Lord Doyura, it seems to be a Rain Ninja."

"It's alright. Since they're so blind as to attack us, they deserve to die."

Qianye shook his head indifferently, raised his hand and sucked out the scroll from the backpack of one of the corpses.

The scroll had the character "天" (heaven) printed on it, just like the scrolls of Qianye and the others; they were both scrolls of heaven.

"The same Heavenly Scroll, huh? But it doesn't matter." Yekura glanced at the scroll in Chiya's hand. Her ninja instinct to complete the mission made her walk towards the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

As Yekura slowly approached like the Grim Reaper, the hearts of the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were in their throats.

Just as Ye Cang was about to make her move, Qianye suddenly stopped her, "Forget it, there are plenty of scrolls anyway. Let them off the hook for the sake of that fat clansman."

After saying that, Qianye glanced deeply in the direction of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio before disappearing into the jungle.

Yekura followed closely behind.

After Chiya and Yekura left, the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio crawled out of the bushes, panting heavily.

"That scared me to death, I almost thought I was doomed." Choji grabbed a handful of potato chips, stuffed them into his mouth, and tried to soothe his wounded little heart.

"You idiot, what time is it? Still eating!" Ino kicked Choji angrily, then turned to Shikamaru and sighed, "Shikamaru, by the way, what kind of monster was that bandaged guy? Are they really genin? Luckily they didn't notice us, or we would have been in big trouble."

"How could we not have noticed?" Shikamaru clicked his tongue, recalling Chiya's words, then suddenly paused, looking at Choji and asking abruptly, "Choji, does anyone in your clan know any Amegakure ninja?"

Choji scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Probably not. None of our clansmen have ever had contact with the Rain Ninja."

"Then what did he mean by what he just said?" Shikamaru was very puzzled.

Not long after, following the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, under Chiya's deliberate intervention, the other three members of the Konoha Twelve—Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten—discovered him and Pakura.

The three stood atop the tree trunk, looking down at the two below. Tenten fiddled with the kunai in his hand and said with interest, "Neji, it seems we've run into two lone wolves. How careless of them to just swagger right in front of us like that."

Rock Lee turned to Neji and asked, "Should we make a move?"

Neji frowned. "Don't rush. There's still one person who hasn't appeared yet. He's very likely hiding in the shadows. Let me investigate."

Roll your eyes!

Neji formed hand seals, his pure white eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and hideous, terrifying lines appeared on the sides of his cheeks near his eye sockets.

Neji surveyed his surroundings and, finding no one else besides Chiya and the other person, turned his attention back to them.

The next second, he froze, large beads of sweat appearing from his temples.

"Run!" Without the slightest hesitation, Neji grabbed Rock Lee and Tenten and fled into the distance.

"Neji, what's wrong with you?" Rock Lee also moved and asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, Neji, with your strength, those two shouldn't be a match for you, right?" Tenten, who was always very confident in Neji's strength, asked in confusion.

"Enough talk. Run or you'll die!" Neji shouted, his brows furrowed as he quickened his pace.

The Byakugan can see the flow of chakra in a person's body.

In the original story, Neji used this to see that Kisame, in his substitute form using the Transformation Technique, possessed an unusually large amount of chakra.

Today, he also saw an extremely large amount of chakra in the two Rain Ninjas disguised as Chiya and Yekura.

In particular, the chakra contained in Chiyo's body far exceeded his comprehension.

He was certain that these two were not low-level ninjas.
