The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"According to this examiner's testing method, even if you don't write a single word on the entire exam paper, you can still pass. Doesn't the result matter whether you participate or not?"

Hinata Zechen shook his head, his expression clearly showing his disagreement.

Naruto Uzumaki glanced around and, taking advantage of the fact that the genin next to him weren't paying attention, quickly hid the exam paper on the table into his sleeve.

"I'll say it one more time: get out of here right now! Your Chunin Exam qualification has been revoked!"

Seeing that Hinata Zechen ignored her words, Anko rolled up her sleeves and strode over. Her aggressive demeanor left no doubt that if Hinata Zechen hadn't left, she would have personally thrown this disobedient examinee out.

"red beans……"

Unlike Anko, who had been on missions outside the village and only returned a few days ago, Morino Ibiki, as the captain of the Konoha Torture Division, was extremely well-informed. As long as Hyuga Zetsu's actual strength was half of what was rumored, he was someone who could rival these special Jonin.

"I remember that although the rules for the Chunin Exams differed from village to village, there was a special rule for Chunin Exams jointly organized by other villages: if a candidate did not accept the examiner's judgment, they could request to resolve the dispute through a fight. As long as the candidate could defeat the examiner, they would be considered to have passed the exam."

The candidates present looked at each other in bewilderment. Was there really such a rule?

Anko also looked bewildered, since in previous years the Chunin Exams were held individually by each ninja village, and joint Chunin Exams were held very rarely.

"There is indeed such a rule."

Seeing that Anko was looking over, Ibiki Morino nodded.

This special rule originated from Kumogakure (the Hidden Cloud Village). These dark-skinned ninjas have always believed that might makes right, and they often resolve disputes through fighting, making them extremely belligerent. During the last Joint Chunin Exams, this rule, so characteristic of Kumogakure, was directly written into the regulations.

"Very well. As an examiner, I am not supposed to fight with the candidates. Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me!"

Hongdou deliberately made a ferocious face and even cracked the bones in her fists.

“There’s an open space downstairs. I’ll show you the consequences of daring to talk back to the examiner.”

Anko walked up to Hinata Zechen, grabbed his clothes, and revealed a malicious smile.

To establish the examiner's authority, Hongdou originally wanted to find someone she disliked to make an example of. Since Hinata Zechen himself stepped forward, she could save herself the trouble of choosing a target.

"Why go through all this trouble? We can just fight right here. It'll be over in a second anyway, won't it?"

The two were so close that Hinata Sawatatsu could clearly feel the faint feminine fragrance emanating from Anko and catch a glimpse of her voluptuous figure.

It's a pity. She was still a stunning beauty then, but how did she turn from a red bean into a sweet potato after just over ten years?

Sweets really do have a lot of harmful effects!

"It seems you are quite self-aware!"

Hongdou shifted her sleeve, and a brown venomous snake peeked out, its mouth opening to bite Hyuga Zechen.

Just as the exposed sharp fangs were about to touch, the snake's body suddenly stiffened, and it fell directly to the ground from Hongdou's sleeve, lifeless.

The next moment, Hongdou's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and she let go of the collar she was clutching.

"I hereby announce that you have qualified to participate in the second exam!"

-----------------

"You used genjutsu to control a special Jonin without forming hand seals?"

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at the crystal ball in front of him, his tone filled with doubt.

The Byakugan does not enhance the power of genjutsu, so we have only ever heard that the Uchiha clan is proficient in genjutsu, but we have never seen any ninja from the Hyuga clan who is known for genjutsu.

"Old man, I told you long ago, wouldn't it have been better to just give him the Flying Thunder God Manual obediently? Why did you set conditions? Do you really think geniuses have no temper?"

Jiraiya sat to the side, staring intently at the three-piece magazine in his hand, and nodded as he chimed in.

Chapter 34 Orochimaru's Hint

"Hmph, your Konoha examiners and genin are in cahoots, cooperating with each other. Do you really think we're all blind?"

A Sound Ninja stood up from his seat and started cursing, trying to provoke the surrounding ninja examinees.

The next moment, Hyuga Zechen turned his head and glanced at the crew-cut Sound Ninja in a nonchalant manner.

The Sound Ninja, who had just been so arrogant, suddenly stiffened. Then, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly lay down on the ground, raised his head, and crawled out of the classroom on all fours, barking loudly like a dog.

"I only have one question: who here agrees and who disagrees?"

Looking at the classroom, which had become eerily silent, Hinata Sawatatsu's lips curled up slightly. He then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared with a bang.

"Tch, just a shadow clone?"

As soon as Hyuga Zechen's figure disappeared, Uchiha Sasuke's lips twitched. He immediately realized that being suppressed by the other party's massive aura was a very embarrassing thing.

However, even Sasuke didn't notice the envy that flickered deep in his eyes.

correct.

Sasuke suddenly turned around, wanting to find Kabuto Yakushi's whereabouts and ask him if he had any of Hyuga Sawatatsu's ninja cards.

However, Sasuke searched the entire classroom but couldn't find the bespectacled, friendly-looking boy.

What's wrong with me?

Only then did Mitarashi Anko's dazed eyes regain their liveliness, and the memories from just now flooded back to her mind.

"hateful!"

Hongdou clenched her fists, kicked the wooden table in front of her in two, and then tried to rush out the window to settle scores with Hinata Zechen.

"Red Bean, don't forget your duty!"

Hearing Ibiki Morino's reminder from behind, Anko frowned and looked at the group of examinees in the classroom.

"We'll be meeting at a different location tomorrow. As for the time and place of the meeting, ask your Jonin teacher. That's all for now, dismissed!"

-----------------

The following day, early morning, Konoha's 44th training ground.

Looking around, one sees huge ancient trees with diameters exceeding ten feet, which remain unmoved even as strong winds blow by.

"This is the venue for your second exam, the Forest of Death."

Red Bean pointed to the dark, forested area behind her, her eyes filled with ill intent, and began to describe the situation of the Death Forest.

"No matter what you say, you can't scare me away."

As Naruto wiggled his buttocks in an incredibly strange way and imitated Anko's tone in a bizarre manner, Anko's eyes changed, and she swung a kunai that barely grazed Naruto's face, leaving a scratch on his skin.

The kunai shot past and embedded itself deep into the ground, severing a section of the long hair of a grass ninja standing behind Naruto Uzumaki.

"Children like you are usually the first to die..."

Using the Body Flicker Technique, she appeared behind Naruto, who was stunned by the killing intent. She wiped away the bright red blood with her fingers and put it in her mouth. Finding Naruto's body stiff, Anko revealed a mischievous smile.

As expected, that brat from the Hyuga clan was just an exception; this is the kind of reaction a low-ranking ninja should have.

If it weren't for the Hokage's orders forbidding me from seeking revenge, I would definitely have disqualified Hyuga Zechen from the exam today!

Just then, Hongdou flicked her sleeve, and another kunai appeared in her hand. She turned her body and made a defensive gesture behind her.

"I have no way to repay you."

A long, purplish-red tongue, carrying the kunai that had just been thrown, came up behind Anko.

"Thank you for your help!"

Hongdou's eyes twitched slightly as she reached out and took the kunai.

"But don't stand behind me with murderous intent, if you don't want to die young."

Beneath a huge straw hat, the woman from the Grass Village, whose face was mostly obscured, retracted her tongue, which had been sticking out for nearly two feet, into her mouth.

"Sorry, I get really excited when I see blood..."

After giving Anko a long look, the woman from Kusagakure turned around and rejoined the crowd.

"Orochimaru gave such obvious hints, how come Anko didn't notice anything amiss at all?"

Hinata Sawatatsu, who suddenly appeared in the crowd, looked at this classic scene and couldn't help but mutter a comment in his mind.

Well, perhaps we can't blame Anko. After all, Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, actually possessed a woman's body. Who could have imagined that?

Even cross-dressing men seem relatively normal in front of Orochimaru.

"Brother Zechen..."

Hinata noticed Hyuga Zechen's appearance immediately and ran over with a hint of excitement.

She was constantly worried that Hinata Zechen would be late again and be disqualified from the exam by that red bean examiner.

"Now, everyone who wants to take the exam, come over and sign the consent form..."

Hongdou took out a stack of white papers from her bosom, her face full of ill intent.

"Signing the consent form proves that I bear no responsibility whatsoever for the people who die inside."

Looking at Anko laughing heartily, most of the genin present appeared very serious.

Of course, there were also those who were completely unconvinced, such as Gaara with a bloodthirsty look on his face, and Orochimaru who was excitedly sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.

"Hinata, keep this box with you."

After signing the consent form, Hinata Zechen took out a palm-sized box and handed it to Hinata.

"Ok."

Trusting Hinata Sawatatsu, Hinata didn't ask any questions and placed the box with the blue eyes engraved on its surface close to her body.

This was naturally a backup plan that Hyuga Zetsu had left on Hinata.

"The second test is a battle for the scrolls. Only by collecting the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth and reaching the tower in the center of the training ground from different entrances within five days can one pass the test."

After explaining the exam rules, Hongdou waved her hand, and the exam staff led the small teams to different entrances.

"Given your actions yesterday, I, the chief examiner, will personally guide you. How about that? Aren't you touched?"

In the blink of an eye, all the examinees standing outside the Forest of Death had dispersed, leaving only Hongdou and Hinata Zechen.

Looking at the ill-intentioned Red Bean, Hinata Zechen's expression remained unchanged as he opened his palm.

Where is my scroll?

Hongdou slowly took out a Book of Earth from her bosom and handed it over.

Just as Hinata Zechen reached out to take it, Anko suddenly squeezed the Book of Earth to pieces with her five fingers.
