People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Naruto shook his head and said, "The Chunin Exams have already started in Konoha. All the ninjas in Konoha are maintaining order in Konoha, and there are also ninjas from other villages. With only the two of us, it's not realistic to destroy Konoha directly. However, I heard that the Daimyo from various countries will be invited to attend the Chunin Exams finals. That would be a good opportunity."

"Naruto, do you intend to directly attack the Daimyo of each country?"

"That's right. I am a rogue ninja of Konoha. If I kill those daimyo on Konoha's territory, those countries will definitely retaliate against Konoha. At that time, Konoha will become isolated. If I kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha will definitely fall into chaos."

Naruto's eyes flashed with a cold light: "At that time, it will be much easier to destroy a chaotic Konoha."

the next day.

The second round of the Chunin Exams begins.

The second test was an extreme wilderness survival challenge.

Half of the teams received the Heaven Scroll, while the other half received the Earth Scroll.

To clear the level, you need to seize the scrolls from other teams.

After signing the consent form, the exam began as the proctor, Mitarashi Anko, announced the start of the exam.

All the teams poured into the Forest of Death.

Sasuke's team obtained the Earth Scroll, which means they need the Heaven Scroll.

Xiang asked Sasuke, "Sasuke, what do we do next?"

Sasuke felt a little excited at this moment, as this could be considered his first time acting on his own.

"Didn't we sign a death consent form? In this forest, we can kill anyone without bearing any responsibility."

Kaoru understood that Sasuke wanted revenge.

However, Shion was unaware of the reasons behind this; she was not aware of the grudges and feuds between the Uchiha clan, Konoha, and Kagerou Village.

Shion looked at Sasuke with a puzzled expression: "What are you planning to do?"

Sasuke didn't want Shion to know, so he changed the subject, saying, "Kaori, you protect Shion. You can go directly to the tower entrance where the exam is taking place and wait for me. I'll come find you with the Heaven and Earth Scroll then."

Although Kaori really wanted to act with Sasuke, Shion's safety was more important.

Moreover, given Sasuke's strength, even all the people in this Death Forest combined might not be a match for him.

Xiang nodded obediently: "I understand, then be careful."

Xiang left with a slightly excited Shion, while Sasuke acted alone.

Sasuke's target this time is very clear: the ninjas of Konoha and Kusagakure.

The grudges between Konoha and Kusagakure need no further explanation, and Sasuke wanted to avenge Kaori in Kusagakure.

Kusagakure was destroyed by Deidara's C3-18.

However, some people were lucky enough to survive and rebuild Kusagakure.

Although Kaori didn't say much, Sasuke sensed that she still felt a subconscious fear when she saw the ninjas from Kusagakure.

However, when leaving Kagero Village, Itachi instructed Sasuke not to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan unless necessary, as it would attract unwanted attention.

Sasuke chuckled coldly and muttered, "With just the three-tomoe Sharingan, plus ninjutsu and the Breath of Lightning, that's enough!"

Chapter 293 Hunt

Inside the Hokage's office at this moment.

Several Jonin from Konoha were among them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is monitoring the Forest of Death with a crystal ball.

And the target of their surveillance was none other than Sasuke.

At this moment, Sasuke was constantly traveling through the Forest of Death.

Kurenai asked curiously, "Why is this child acting alone?"

Yamanaka Inoichi analyzed, "Either his companion was attacked and unable to move, or he acted alone from the beginning. There are no signs of a struggle on him, which means he chose to act alone."

"So confident? You should know that the Death Forest is extremely dangerous."

"Whether it's confidence or arrogance, we'll soon find out. Just watch." Kakashi's eyes were filled with interest in Sasuke.

Sasuke has already located several genin from Kusagakure.

Sasuke made no attempt to conceal himself and directly blocked their path.

Upon seeing the uninvited guests blocking their path, the three from Kusagakure immediately went into battle mode, vigilantly observing their surroundings and searching for Sasuke's companions.

Sasuke placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking disdainfully at the three from Kusagakure: "Don't worry, I'm alone. Before entering this Forest of Death, you should have already written your wills, right?"

The three from Kusagakure were instantly enraged by Sasuke's provocation.

"Clone Technique!"

Countless illusory clones of the three Kusagakure villagers appeared around Sasuke, surrounding him.

The three from Kusagakure grinned maliciously and said, "Die, kid!"

The three main bodies of the Hidden Grass Village were mixed into the clones and all rushed towards Sasuke.

Sasuke's Sharingan with three tomoe has appeared in both eyes.

His right hand was already gripping the hilt of the knife, and lightning surged throughout his body.

"Thunder Breathing? First Form? Thunderclap Flash? Six-Hit Combo!"

Sasuke channeled his power into his feet and unleashed a burst of energy, creating a sound like thunder tearing through the air. As he moved, he repeatedly changed his direction of attack using the surrounding terrain, as if he were streaking across six bolts of lightning.

Each time he swung his sword, thunder would rumble around him, as if lightning had struck nearby.

When the sound of thunder ceased, Sasuke had already sheathed his katana.

The three from Kusagakure were lying on the ground, with only the wounds on their necks indicating that they had been killed in one blow.

Before leaving, Sasuke suddenly raised his head and glanced upwards.

The Jonin who had been observing Sasuke through the crystal ball in the Hokage's office were all astonished.

He found out?!

Might Guy asked Kakashi in shock, "Kakashi, did you see his speed clearly?"

Kakashi shook his head, and even though his face was covered by a mask, his shock was still evident in his eyes.

"No, it's possible to see it clearly only by using the Sharingan's dynamic vision."

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't understand: "How could someone with this level of strength be a genin?!"

Nara Shikaku, acting as the strategist, said gravely to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, judging from Uchiha Sasuke's actions, he deliberately targeted Kusagakure, showing no mercy and aiming to kill them. I'm worried..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi guessed, "Are you worried that Sasuke Uchiha will hunt down Konoha's genin?"

Nara Shikaku nodded.

At that moment, his genin subordinates, who were then taking the exam in the Forest of Death, were terrified.

Everyone present knew about the feud between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

However, they did not expect Sasuke to be so bold as to choose to take revenge during the exam.

Moreover, given the strength Sasuke has demonstrated, none of these genin combined could possibly be his match.

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept smoking.

On one hand, the exam rules were set by Konoha itself, and all of them signed death consent forms, so Sasuke's actions were completely in accordance with the rules.

On the other hand, among the candidates from Konoha are children from the Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans, who are also the future hope of Konoha. If Sasuke's behavior is not stopped, these children from the ninja clans will be in danger.

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to remain firmly in the position of Hokage was because of the support of these large and small ninja clans, so he had to take action.

Having made up his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, Guy, you two go to the Forest of Death. If you confirm that Sasuke Uchiha is hunting down our Konoha genin, stop him immediately!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi warned again, "However, we can only stop him. Sasuke Uchiha's actions are still within the rules, since we were the ones who broke the rules first."

"Yes!"

Kakashi and Might Guy immediately headed towards the Forest of Death.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Sasuke in the crystal ball, who had already found the Konoha genin team, and frowned: "We must get there in time..."

Sasuke found two teams of genin who were facing off against each other.

Coincidentally, these people were all Sasuke's classmates at the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame.

Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino.

When the six saw Sasuke, Yamanaka Ino was the first to recognize him.

"You are...Sasuke?!"

Ino was overjoyed and wanted to catch up with Sasuke, but Shikamaru stopped her.

Shikamaru looked at Sasuke with a serious expression: "Wait a minute, Ino, he has no good intentions towards us!"

Ino didn't believe Shikamaru's words: "How is that possible? We used to be classmates at the same ninja academy."

Sasuke activated his Sharingan, his cold gaze fixed on the six people as he said, "He's right. I have no goodwill towards you; I'm here to kill you."

Sasuke tried to draw his sword to attack, but found that he couldn't move his body and was even controlled to throw his katana far away.

Sasuke looked down and saw a shadow connected to his own, and the owner of that shadow was Nara Shikamaru.

Nara Shikamaru was sweating profusely, realizing that his Shadow Imitation Technique wouldn't be able to control Sasuke for long.

Shikamaru shouted, "Run!"

Kiba Inuzuka, however, was unconvinced: "Didn't you already control him? Why are we running? Let's just defeat him! Watch me!"

Kiba Inuzuka lay prone with his hands and feet on the ground, while Akamaru stood on his back.

"Orc clone!"

Akamaru's appearance changed to that of Kiba.

"Tooth-to-teeth!"

The two spun rapidly, forming a shape resembling two tornadoes as they attacked Sasuke.
