The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

Ding.

Fortunately, Mirai blocked the black light's attack in time with her ninja sword. Upon closer inspection, it was a scythe that resembled a chain.

"Huh? They managed to stop us even like that?" The young man from the Grass Ninja clan smiled and said, "That's quite unexpected."

"Your murderous intent just now, was it real?" Ignoring his teasing, Future asked seriously. "You...wanted to kill my friend?"

"Ah. Strange question." The young man from the Grass Ninja clan tilted his head and laughed, "This is a life-or-death battle, not child's play."

“I see.” Nodding, Mirai said expressionlessly, “Then, I was truly rude just now.” She raised her right arm, and terrifying clusters of chakra condensed in her palm.

The young man from the Grass Ninja clan's pupils contracted. The technique his opponent had used reminded him of some peculiar memories. His expression finally turned serious.

Future raised the chakra ball high and infused it with fire-type chakra. "Die with repentance!"

Fire Release: Rasenshuriken!

call out.

The sphere, brimming with terrifying chakra, was thrown directly by Future. It hurtled towards the young man from the Grass Ninja Village at incredible speed.

Rumble.

Before it even touched the young man's body, the giant spiral shuriken exploded in mid-air. A streak of fire shot straight into the sky.

"What terrifying power!" Yuuki, who was pulled from the ground by Mirai, stared in disbelief. She had seen Mirai use the Lightning Release: Rasengan before, but that was an incomplete version. In terms of both destructive power and attack range, it was far inferior to this Rasenshuriken.

hula.

A strong wind blew up and down.

A terrifying shockwave spread wildly outwards from the center of the entire area.

"what happened?"

"What exactly is this terrifying fluctuation?"

"Could it be that someone is fighting there?"

"No, that can't be! How could there be such a terrifyingly strong person in a mere Chunin Exam!"

Her commotion was so loud that it caught the attention of the other examinees nearby, who all turned their gazes toward her.

Hoo-ha.

The future, which caused such a terrifying uproar, wasn't in a good place either. That attack just now almost drained most of her chakra. All for a single, fatal blow!

"Oh dear, oh dear." But the result was beyond her expectations; the other party was not dead at all. "What terrifying talent, terrifying skills, terrifying bloodline! If I hadn't been prepared, I would have almost died!" A human covered in wounds appeared before their eyes.

The skin on the other person's face and body slowly peeled off, revealing clothes covered in scorched black.

"How is this possible!" Yuuki's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "How could she survive such an attack?"

"That's all thanks to my little darling." The young man from the Grass Ninja clan looked back. There, in the area where the explosion occurred, were the remains of a giant snake.

"You really are Orochimaru." After a moment of silence, Mirai let out a sigh of relief. "As an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha, you actually dare to show your face here?"

"Hehehe." Torn off the human skin mask, Orochimaru revealed his pale face. "I've always been very bold. Unless I'm facing your father, I really have nothing to fear in this ninja world."

What he said was true. There were many people in the entire ninja world who could defeat him. But the only one who could truly kill him and instill genuine fear in him was Yuhi Mugetsu.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Future asked in a deep voice.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you two exceptionally talented women." Orochimaru grinned exaggeratedly, sticking out his long tongue. "Of course, it would be even better if I could take you back for research."

"You're dreaming!" Before Mirai and Yuuki could speak, another female voice suddenly rang out. "Orochimaru. Do you really think Konoha is your home, where you can do whatever you want?"

Swish.

A figure flashed over; it was Hongdou, her face expressionless.

"Oh, a troublesome fellow has appeared." Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. He knew about the women of Mugetsu. And he knew very well that none of them were easy to deal with. Even the youngest one in front of him, Anko.

"Today, you will be brought to justice, you traitor!" With a cold snort, Hongdou raised her hands and formed a strange hand seal.

Barrier - Sealed Heavenly Prison!

Boom boom boom.

Four semi-transparent walls suddenly rose up, trapping Orochimaru from various positions. But this wasn't the end. After setting up the first barrier, Anko's hands moved again.

Barrier - Shadow Assault!

Thick black fog rose from within the transparent barrier array. Countless roars, like those of vengeful spirits, emanated from the black smoke.

"What kind of technique is this?!" Orochimaru was completely astonished. He had never encountered this strange technique before.

"Savor the seal and barrier of the Uzumaki clan. Traitor!" Anko said coldly, her face expressionless. "Experience the pain of hell!" As her words fell, the black mist in the barrier grew thicker, enveloping Orochimaru completely.

Visibly, his flesh began to peel away. It was as if he had been shaved off by countless razors, and in an instant he was reduced to a pile of bones.

Chapter 0429 Wings of Fallen Power

died? !

The legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, an extremely powerful legendary figure, died so easily here?!

Whether it was Yuuki or the future, everything felt unreal at that moment. Sakura, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. With her limited perspective and understanding, she simply couldn't comprehend Orochimaru's power. Naturally, she felt no shock or astonishment.

"You've already obtained the scroll, haven't you?" With a soft sigh of relief, Red Bean turned her gaze to the future. "In that case, let's head straight to the central tower. Don't linger here."

“Auntie…” The serious and earnest admonition from the other party made Mirai very uncomfortable. She asked weakly, “What exactly happened? Why is Orochimaru here?”

“At this point, there’s no need to hide it from you anymore.” With a sigh, Anko said, “Actually, this so-called Chunin Exam is just a facade. Your father’s ultimate purpose in holding this exam was to lure those rats hiding in the shadows.” As she spoke, she glanced cryptically at the skeleton in the center of the barrier.

Clearly, she meant that this "Orochimaru" was also one of those rats.

“What happens next may be even more dangerous.” After a pause, Hongdou continued, “If you encounter an invincible enemy, do not hesitate to use the life-saving scroll that your father gave you.”

"Yes, I understand." After a moment of silence, Future nodded obediently.

She wasn't the kind of hot-blooded fool who lacked common sense. On the contrary, she was very clever and able to discern the seriousness in her aunt's expression. Most importantly, for her seemingly invincible father to go to such lengths, those rats were clearly not to be underestimated.

"Good, I understand." Hongdou nodded and added, "Be careful." Then, she vanished in a flash.

"Let's go too." Future glanced at her departing figure and took a deep breath.

However, unexpectedly, Yuuki seemed unmoved. She just stood there blankly, lost in thought. It wasn't until Future's hand patted her that the girl reacted. "What's wrong?"

“That’s what I should be asking you.” Future looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, “Why are you standing here like that? You should be leaving.”

·

"Hmm, I understand." Xi Yue nodded, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

After witnessing Orochimaru and Anko's terrifying power, she felt a great upheaval within her. She began to question her former confidence—the confidence that she could rightfully earn that man's acknowledgment.

She discovered that she was utterly powerless against truly strong individuals. Pitiful, weak, and helpless, she lacked even the courage to face them. Could someone like her truly gain that man's approval? She probably didn't even deserve to stand before him!

The moment she had this question, something forbidden within her seemed to be touched. A peculiar voice echoed in her mind: "Do you crave power? Do you crave recognition? Do you crave to defeat that man and make him receive the punishment he deserves? Then come to me, I am your true power."

The voice sounded so abrupt, yet so real, leaving Xiyue feeling somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? What is this thing? Why is there this voice inside me?

Walking along the path leading to the central tower, Yuuki pondered repeatedly. True power—what is true power?

In that fleeting moment of her thoughts, the scene before her suddenly changed, and she seemed to find herself in a dark and chaotic space. There was no time, no space, only absolute darkness. Yet, she felt no loneliness or desolation. It was as if she herself were the embodiment of this space.

And just then, a person appeared before her. It was a woman with an exquisitely beautiful face, silver hair, and a pure white divine robe. Between her brows, a scarlet eye stared intently at her. "So, you've finally come this far."

"Who are you?" Xi Yue asked softly.

"You already know, don't you?" The woman's eyes finally opened slowly, revealing grayish-white pupils. "The answer lies within your heart."

"You...I'm me?" Xi Yue was stunned, and said incredulously, "You're another me?"

“No, we have always been one.” The woman spoke calmly, like a queen reigning over all. “Believe me. We will soon be inseparable again, very soon. Very soon.”

……

……

In the scorching heat of the burning wasteland, a pale skeleton lay on the ground. Then, from the charred black wasteland, a pale arm suddenly burst forth from the earth.

"Hoo-ha." That was Orochimaru; he was still alive. "What a terrifying barrier. Even the chakra around me is in disarray. If I hadn't used the life-replacing scroll beforehand, I probably would have turned into bones."

“You should be glad I reminded you,” a black head emerged from the center of the earth, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Heh, then thank you very much." Orochimaru sneered, "However, since you made me the bait to awaken her power, this life-saving grace can be offset, right?"

Chapter 0430 Special Rewards

"Congratulations on completing the second assessment."

Inside the training ground of the central tower, Hongdou looked at the group of examinees before her and said, "Although most of you have been disqualified from continuing the exam, the fact that thirty of you remain is enough to impress me."

silence.

None of the thirty candidates spoke; they all turned their gazes toward the high platform.

"Clearly, you are all good students." With a smile, Hongdou said, "However, you cannot be complacent because of this. The real test of your strength is about to begin."

Just as she was speaking, figures poured in from the entrances on both sides of the platform. These people were the instructors leading the students below. There were not only Konoha and Sunagakure, but also Otogakure and Kirigakure.

Meanwhile, in the very center of the arena, beside the gate marked with hand seals, a white figure approached from afar. He wore a red Hokage hat and a white divine robe, radiating an indescribable aura. It was none other than the Fifth Hokage of Konoha—Yuhi Mugetsu.

"He did make an appearance after all."

"Is that the Hokage of Konoha?"

"You look really young."

"Konoha Heavenly Dragon, Konoha Heavenly Dragon..."

Whether it was the instructors from other ninja villages or the students, their faces immediately showed expressions of awe, curiosity, and doubt upon seeing Mugetsu.

"Welcome, everyone, from afar." Standing in the center of the high platform, Wuyue looked around. "As the organizer of this Chunin Exam, I first want to thank you for your participation." A kind smile appeared on his face, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Well, you might not know this," Wuyue chuckled and continued, "The ultimate purpose of this exam isn't actually to see you fight. It's peace! That's right, true peace. To reflect on the harm and destruction caused by battle, so that we can contribute to the cause of peace."

Peace my foot! You wrecker, how dare you talk to us about peace?

These ninjas from other villages had obviously heard more or less about Mugetsu's deeds and rumors. A guy who could wipe out an entire army at the drop of a hat, yet he called himself a peace envoy? How ridiculous!

"I know you might not trust my peace speech." Shaking his head, Wuyue naturally understood their thoughts. But what he said was indeed the truth. If he could, he truly didn't want the war to continue. But, there was no other way. He himself knew that if he and the other ninja villages couldn't reach a genuine consensus, a decisive battle was inevitable. "But that's alright, I will prove my intentions with my actions. And then..."

Make your choice, dear host.
