Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

The shuriken immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Surprisingly, despite the deadly attack, Yuzuki remained seated, focused intently on the grilled fish in front of her.

Why didn't he dodge? Or did he not react in time?

In the end, there was no twist, and the scene that everyone had imagined—Yuzuki dodging the attack at the crucial moment—did not occur.

The shuriken struck squarely.

"Could it be someone with connections?"

"These major ninja villages are truly corrupt. Even in places like the Chunin Exams, people can pull strings."

Some people couldn't help but sneer.

Shuriken aren't anything special; even a low-ranking ninja could react to them.

But the other party just stood there dumbfounded, not making any move at all.

How could one not suspect that he got into the exam room through connections?

Do you really think the Chunin Exams are child's play?

This can kill people...

Just when everyone thought a tragedy was about to unfold, an accident occurred.

The shuriken that should have hit its target was deflected!

The clanging of metal was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

It was as if it was striking not the fragile human body, but hard steel.

"How is this going?"

Everyone instantly descended into chaos.

Until I heard that casually mentioned sentence:

"The birth of the tree world."

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

For a moment, the whole world seemed to freeze.

The ground suddenly churned like waves, and the sturdy trees seemed to be summoned by some unknown force, growing wildly upwards!

The target of these trees is obvious: the direction from which the shuriken just flew.

"What is this thing?!"

A terrified scream came from the darkness.

But in an instant, he was tightly bound by countless entangled tree roots, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free.

His teammates stepped forward to try to untangle the tree trunk, only to find that they couldn't move the solid, impenetrable obstacle at all.

"Where did this attack come from?!"

"They appeared out of the ground in an instant! Without any warning!"

On the other side, Yuzuki gently raised the grilled fish in her hand to her nose and sniffed it:

"Hmm...it should be just right."

He carefully placed the food aside, then slowly rose and turned toward the forest shrouded in night.

"Wow, so many friends have come..."

"Were they all attracted here by my grilled fish?"

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Everyone fell silent, only daring to steal glances at the figure sitting around the campfire, his face glowing red in the leaping flames.

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.

Logically, they were the ones who took the initiative to surround and attack this guy; but now, they are instead being held back by an inexplicable pressure.

Finally, one group of test takers could no longer withstand the invisible pressure and turned to run away.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

"Lightning Whirlwind Slash!"

With a deafening roar, a colossal pillar of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, appeared in his hand.

It formed a giant lightsaber that shone with a white light.

As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire Death Forest, making it as bright as day.

The figures of all the candidates hiding in the corners of the night were immediately exposed.

Including that look of panic and astonishment on his face.

Looking at the divine weapons suspended in mid-air before them, resembling those from mythical legends, the group of young people almost burst out with their resentment and anger:

"What is this thing?! Tell me it's not real!"

"You people from Konoha Village, how dare you say he's only a genin-level ninja?"

"Unfair competition! How can someone like this be allowed into the Chunin Exams?!"

Now, these people understand perfectly well that Youyue is not someone with connections at all.

He dares to be so flamboyant all by himself because he's not afraid of anyone at all!

With a deft wave of her arm, Yu Yue unleashed a massive energy blade that pierced the heavens and earth, sweeping across the ground with overwhelming force.

Everything that was touched vanished instantly.

Without any deafening noise, the whole process was as quiet and smooth as erasing notes.

Those candidates who were the first to turn around and leave have now stopped moving.

He stared, trembling, at the wide chasm that had suddenly appeared before him.

If we take just half a step forward...

Or pause for a moment.

Now, probably no one can stand here complaining about how incredible all of this is...

"Alright everyone, please line up here in order, and remember to put your hands on your heads and squat down."

Yuzuki said in a calm tone.

The crowd trembled slightly, but still obediently followed orders and stepped forward in an orderly fashion.

After counting the number of people, Yuyue discovered that there were seven or eight teams, totaling more than twenty people, standing in front of her.

He couldn't help but shake his arm and give instructions:

"Right here, squat down."

A huge crowd of people obediently squatted down with their heads in their hands.

In the crowd, someone looked up at Youyue for a moment and then quickly looked down again.

A look of shock and trepidation flashed in his eyes; he had just thrown a shuriken at this person.

The examinee from Longyin Village suddenly remembered a legend that had been passed down in the village.

A rumor has been circulating in his village for a long time.

It is said that Kakuzu, the legendary ninja of Longyin Village, was once ordered to assassinate the legendary First Hokage.

However, he only threw a shuriken from a great distance.

He figured that Kakuzu's situation at the time must have been similar to his own.

After settling everything in, Youyue returned to the campfire and slowly picked up the skewer of grilled fish that exuded an enticing aroma to continue enjoying it.

"Hmm...this fish is still warm."

Chapter 186 I am a student, can you give this to me?

Another corner of the Death Forest.

Although the bright lightsaber only appeared for a moment, Naruto naturally wouldn't miss such a clear sight.

He looked up at the night sky, at the very spot where the lightsaber had appeared, and a chill ran down his spine.

"That was dangerous! Who used that ninjutsu?"

Even a fleeting glimpse of that lightsaber sent chills down Naruto's spine.

However, besides fear, he also felt an irrepressible fighting spirit welling up in his heart.

"This is definitely a formidable opponent; I absolutely must find him and challenge him!"

Naruto clenched his fists and grinned, as if he couldn't wait to face the challenge.

"Naruto, come and have something to eat."

Sakura, smiling gently by the fire, handed Naruto a plate of freshly prepared food.

"Ha, thank you."

Naruto accepted it generously, smiling broadly.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke still hasn't returned?"

After taking a bite of food, Naruto looked at Sakura with a puzzled expression.

Sasuke was nowhere to be seen from morning till night, and he left no trace.

"Don't worry, Sasuke is so strong, he should be fine."

Sakura explained with a smile, "As long as he returns here within five days, that's fine."

Hearing this, Naruto felt a little relieved and nodded, saying, "That makes sense."

After finishing his meal, Naruto lay down on the spot and rested his head on his hand.

"Sakura, you should get some rest. I'll take care of the guard duty tonight."
