The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The window on the left side of the classroom shattered.

A tall, slender figure flashed in, and as the curtain unfurled, a young woman dressed in a mesh bodysuit and a light yellow trench coat came into view of Menma and the others.

"You bunch of arrogant brats, now is not the time to be happy and relax. I am the chief examiner of the second round of the Chunin Exams—Mitarashi Anko. The next exam is about to begin, you bunch of bastards, hurry up and keep up with me!"

An incredibly flamboyant entrance.

And that deliberately raised tone.

Upon seeing the young woman who suddenly appeared and claimed to be the chief examiner of the second round of assessments, most of the genin below showed a petrified expression.

"Is this examiner out of his mind?"

Sakura, Kiba, and the others even had this thought that they all felt was very impolite.

And they both subconsciously glanced at Naruto on the right.

do not know why.

Judging from the atmosphere alone, Sakura, Kiba, and Choji felt that Naruto and the examiner were somewhat similar.

Even Mianma's lips twitched slightly.

The situation became almost completely awkward.

Hongdou was completely embarrassed at this moment, and the smile on her face became a little forced.

"Nobody's paying attention to you, Red Bean, that's why I said you need to consider the atmosphere."

Ibiki stepped out from behind the curtain and calmly delivered a fatal blow to Anko, making Anko's expression even more subtle.

"Cough cough."

However, based on the principle that as long as I am not embarrassed, then it will definitely be someone else who is embarrassed.

Hongdou coughed lightly, directly skipping over the scene from just now.

After glancing down at the number of remaining test takers, Hongdou frowned slightly.

"Sixty-four people? That's a bit too many, Ibixi. Was the first round of assessments this year really that easy? How come there are still so many left?"

Red Bean turned to look at Ibiki beside her and said something that sounded like she was dissatisfied.

Although Naruto didn't deliver the same passionate shouts as in the original story, this resulted in more than a dozen more test takers choosing to give up at the last moment compared to the original story.

But the number is 64.

Hongdou still felt it was too much.

"Hehe, there are many excellent genin among the participants this year, so the number of those who pass will naturally be a bit higher."

Ibixi responded with a faint smile.

"Well, it doesn't matter. In the second round of assessment, I'll probably eliminate at least half of you again, kids. You'd better be prepared."

Red Bean gave a cold laugh, licked her lips in a manner very similar to Orochimaru's, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the genin below with eyes that seemed to be eyeing prey.

These were words spoken in a cold and eerie tone.

This also made the candidates feel a chill.

Looking at these candidates whose faces changed drastically.

Hongdou also revealed a very happy smile.

"Ah, I'm suddenly feeling really excited! I'll just say hello to everyone for now. We'll talk about the exam details tomorrow, and I'll let you know the specific time and location later. That's all, dismissed!"

After saying that sentence.

Hongdou vanished from the spot in a flash, like a gust of wind.

A group of candidates, seemingly still in shock, were left standing there dumbfounded.

'Was that Orochimaru's only disciple in the village? I wonder why Orochimaru took a liking to him in the first place...'

Menma looked in the direction where Anko had left, a faint look of doubt in her eyes. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this Mitarashi Anko didn't seem to have anything special about her.

The first round of assessments has ended.

Although too many people were mentioned in Anko's words, the actual elimination rate of this round of written tests was already quite exaggerated. Even most of the genin who passed the test still felt a little unreal.

Furthermore, the sudden appearance of Hongdou has filled them with various doubts about the second round of assessment.

But they had no way to ask right now, so they could only keep it to themselves and leave for the time being.

After finishing the exam, Menma went straight home.

The first round of assessment is just a transition.

For Menma, the most important thing is to have a 'friendly negotiation' with Orochimaru in the second round of assessment.

If you're not sure how to proceed, you'll have to revise your plans for the future.

Orochimaru is not the only option.

But it is definitely the most reliable and suitable choice at this stage.

The dough needs such a springboard.

Menma wasn't sure if he had enough leverage to persuade Orochimaru, so he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

I hope everything goes smoothly from now on...

After carefully considering how to persuade Orochimaru if they encountered him, Menma went to bed early to rest, silently thinking to herself.

At the same time.

In a dark area of ​​Konohagakure.

A figure dressed in the uniform of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu suddenly appeared, scanning the surroundings before fixing his gaze on a dark corner on the left.

"Hehe, they truly deserve to be called the elite of the Root."

At the same time, a clear voice rang out from that corner.

next second.

A tall, straight figure stepped out from there, and under the slightly bright moonlight, his face was revealed—it was Yakushi Kabuto.

Where is the stuff?

The Root member before him still looked at Yakushi Kabuto coldly, his slightly low voice devoid of any warmth.

Kabuto Yakushi was used to it; to be honest, he was once a member of Root.

"This is what we agreed on beforehand, but..."

Kabuto Yakushi took a scroll directly from his pocket, but instead of throwing it over, he looked at the Root member opposite him with a smile.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 81 Meeting

That Root member clearly understood what Yakushi Kabuto meant.

He pulled out several glass bottles containing green liquid from his pocket, but more importantly, the eyeballs inside them shone with a dazzling, terrifying crimson color against the backdrop of the night.

The interplay of black and red light and shadow.

Different numbers of magatama.

Each of these glass bottles contains the strongest proof of the Uchiha clan's bloodline—the Sharingan.

Upon seeing the Sharingan contained in these glass bottles.

Without hesitation, Kabuto threw the scroll in his hand, and the Root member threw the glass bottles at him in return.

After verifying that the contents of the scroll were indeed the items requested by their Lord Danzo, this Root member did not utter any further words.

"Whoosh!"

With a leap, he disappeared directly into the deep night.

And it was after this member of the Roots left.

"Swish"

A very faint sound suddenly came from behind Yakushi Kabuto.

A slightly thin figure stepped out from where Yakushi Kabuto had been hiding, and the dark clouds that followed made the moon shine even brighter.

Bathed in moonlight.

When that eerily pale face was revealed.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Kabuto immediately bowed and greeted him.

"Heh, that old coward Danzo is still so cowardly. He has to go to such great lengths for a few Sharingan eyes."

Orochimaru glanced at the spot where the Root member had stood, at the hoarse voice that had just been spoken, and a hint of mockery appeared in his pale golden snake eyes.

What appeared to be a private meeting between Kabuto Yakushi and that Root member was actually backed by Orochimaru, and the Root member was surrounded by two squads of elite Root members.

Ultimately, Danzo and Orochimaru's relationship was nothing more than mutual exploitation.

trust?

Stop being funny.

Is there any trust between people like them?

Danzo could be ruthless even to his closest friends of decades, so who else could he not bring himself to harm?

The current Danzo prioritizes fulfilling his inner ambitions above all else.

A mere Orochimaru?

If he weren't of any use, Danzo would have turned against him long ago.

Orochimaru was the same. Whether he joined Root in the village in his early years or maintained contact with Danzo after his defection, it was all for his own benefit.

"How is it? The items are all in order, right, Pocket?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru. Two pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan, and the rest are single-tomoe Sharingan. There is no problem with the quantity."
