Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Gaara? Neji? Or Rock Lee?

Neither Sasuke nor Naruto believed that these three people could be a match for Yu Ming, who could even kill a Jonin.

So Sasuke and Naruto looked at Yu Ming with envy.

Although Sasuke kept it well hidden, he was indeed envious.

Sakura, however, laughed happily and said, "I'm so envious that Yu Ming can be promoted directly to Chunin."

She had mixed feelings about Yu Ming.

She knew perfectly well that she liked Sasuke, but she didn't know why she felt a sense of affection for Yu Ming, yet there was also a distance between them.

It's even more distant than the distance between him and Sasuke.

Although on the surface, Yu Ming seems easier to approach than Sasuke.

But only when you get closer do you realize that Yu Ming is distant from everyone.

However, she was still happy for Yu Ming.

Naruto and Sasuke clenched their fists and said, "This time I must upgrade to Chunin."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi with some helplessness. He knew Kakashi's little scheme; he was using him as a target for Naruto and Sasuke.

Set Yu Minglai as a target for Sasuke and Naruto to compete against.

However, Yu Ming didn't care much.

After chatting with them for a while, Kakashi let them in.

Kai walked over, looked at Kakashi, and said, "Are you really comfortable with them taking this exam? There's nothing to worry about with Yu Ming, but Sasuke and the others might not necessarily have a hard time passing this exam."

Guy and Kakashi have a good relationship, and Guy doesn't want Kakashi to act recklessly and cause mistakes.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "I have confidence in them. Maybe this time my student will successfully become a Chunin, while your student won't?"

Guy, who originally wanted to persuade Kakashi, was speechless. "How can you be so confident? My students have been following me for over a year. I know their strength best."

"Moreover, Neji is among them. He was the top student when he graduated and is also a ninja from the Hyuga clan. He has a very high talent."

Kakashi thought of Neji and nodded. "He is indeed very strong, but he also has a major flaw, and that flaw is one that you cannot change."

Neji's biggest flaw is that he is a member of the Hyuga branch family. He has great talent, but he is destined to never have the opportunity to use it.

His potential has been completely limited.

Actually, if Neji were a member of the main branch of the family, Kakashi would rate him even higher than Sasuke.

Unfortunately, he was one of the people who separated from the family.

Kai fell silent. He had always been a cheerful person, but unfortunately, he was powerless to help his disciple in this matter.

"But if you make them participate in the Chunin Exams now, and something happens to them, you'll feel really guilty, right?"

Kakashi smiled and said, "Nothing is ever smooth sailing. If they fail, it just means that they are not yet qualified to become Chunin."

"But believe me, each of them is already close to being a Chunin."

They are all Chunin, but their strength varies greatly.

Kai said helplessly, "If something really happens, you'll regret it."

Kakashi didn't answer him, and looked at the examination room.

Naruto opened the door and went inside.

At a glance, one could see that the examination hall was packed with people.

This imposing aura immediately overwhelmed Naruto.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.

Under this imposing aura, both Sakura and Naruto felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Sasuke was somewhat normal.

Yu Ming stood behind the three of them, calmly looking at everyone in the classroom.

He remained calm and unperturbed by the pressure they exerted on him, showing absolutely no pressure whatsoever.

The people in the classroom looked at Yu Ming and his group with unfriendly expressions.

Ninjas from several other villages even unleashed their auras at the four of them.

For a moment, even Sasuke felt a lot of pressure, and sweat dripped down his forehead.

But at that very moment, an even stronger and more domineering aura suddenly erupted from Yu Ming's body, shaking back all the other auras.

Inside the classroom, all the ninjas were looking at Yu Ming, and they suddenly felt their breathing become rapid.

He felt immense pressure. "This guy is definitely not a genin. Who is he? How can he have such an aura? Even the aura of a jonin instructor is far less terrifying than his."

Many of the lower-ranking ninjas had just wanted to put some pressure on the Konoha ninjas.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yu Ming alone released an aura powerful enough to suppress everyone.

Gaara sat in the crowd, looking at Yu Ming, his heart filled with excitement. "Interesting, really interesting. I must kill this guy with my own hands. It will be quite interesting to kill him by my own hands."

Gaara trembled all over, not from fear, but from excitement.

(Okay) But the other ninjas were trembling all over because they were really intimidated by Yu Ming's aura just now.

Kabuto, standing in the crowd, frowned as he looked at Yu Ming. "Is that the mysterious Yu Ming? He is indeed very strong. He can actually unleash such an aura, and he can even contend with Lord Orochimaru's killing intent. It seems that Lord Orochimaru will have a difficult time taking Sasuke away this time."

Kabuto Yakushi knew something about Yu Ming, but only about things that Konoha Jonin knew.

However, he could sense that Yu Ming was not as simple as he appeared, and his strength might even have reached the level of a Jonin.

Such a genius actually came to participate in this Chunin Exams, which completely overwhelmed everyone else.

Neji and Lee also felt this pressure, and they sat in the crowd.

This was the first time Neji had sensed the immense power emanating from Yu Ming. This power made him believe that Yu Ming's strength was definitely above that of a Chunin, perhaps even many times greater than his own.

Chapter 80

The most shocked people in the classroom were probably Yu Ming's classmates.

Shikamaru's team and Kiba's team were both shocked by Yu Ming.

They couldn't believe that this person, who was quite ordinary in school, now possessed such an aura.

Ino and Hinata walked over, and Ino hugged Yu Ming very boldly, but she was too short, so she only reached Yu Ming's mouth.

So when she held Yu Ming, it was like a little sister holding her older brother.

"Yu Ming, I miss you so much! Why haven't you come to see me all this time?"

Yu Ming actually had a lot of free time during this period, but he was either cultivating or meditating at home, so he didn't have time to go and play with Jing Ye.

Hinata said shyly, "Yu Ming-kun, it's so good to see you again."

Sakura, standing to the side, felt a pang of jealousy for some reason. "Damn it, Ino, don't bother Yu Ming in public!"

Ino turned to look at Sakura and smiled, "What's it to you?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yu Ming calmly said, "Alright, stop arguing. We're in the exam room now, so be quiet."

Sakura and Ino exchanged a glance, then each turned their heads away and huffed.

Yu Ming looked at the two of them speechlessly.

Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Shino were all very curious as they looked at Yu Ming. When did Yu Ming become so popular?

Previously, Yu Ming was just an ordinary student at school.

Shikamaru walked up to Naruto and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why is Yu Ming in your team? And he seems to be quite popular."

"That aura he just released must have been from him. When did he become so powerful?"

Naruto glanced at Yu Ming, and although he was a little envious and jealous, he still explained, "Actually, Yu Ming was just pretending when he was in school. He's actually very strong."

"He can even kill Jonin, and killing Chunin is a piece of cake. Last time we went to the Land of Waves on a mission, we encountered a Jonin from Kirigakure. Even Kakashi-sensei had a hard time defeating him, but he was killed by Yu Ming. Moreover, the first time he was defeated, it was only thanks to Yu Ming that he was defeated. The second time he came, Yu Ming killed him directly."

"Moreover, that Jonin had a guy with Ice Release by his side who was also very powerful. Sasuke and I were both defeated by him, but Yu Ming killed both of them, including that Jonin."

"Yu Ming's strength is still a mystery, and we don't know exactly how strong he has become."

"But no matter what, his strength is definitely above that of a Jonin, so when you encounter him during the exam, you should avoid him."

Although Naruto thought Shikamaru and Choji were two idiots, it must be said that when they were children, they were the first to accept Naruto and had no prejudice against him.

Therefore, Naruto and Shikamaru have a very good relationship.

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru was shocked. "Are you kidding me? That guy actually has strength surpassing that of a Jonin? Do you even know what a Jonin is?"

Shikamaru felt that Naruto probably didn't understand how terrifying Jonin were.

But Naruto rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're an idiot and you still argue back. Even Kakashi-sensei couldn't handle him. Are you sure he's not a Jonin? To kill a Jonin, you must have had at least Chunin-level people around him who were also killed. What do you think Yu Ming's strength is? Do you think he's still a Genin?"

At this moment, Naruto revealed a different kind of shrewdness.

Shikamaru didn't disbelieve it; he just couldn't imagine it.

This is so surprising. Yu Ming was just an ordinary nobody at the Ninja Academy. Although he was good-looking, his grades were always average.

But now Naruto is telling him that Yu Ming's strength may have surpassed that of a Jonin. How can he accept that?

However, thinking about the aura that Yu Ming had just released, he felt that perhaps Yu Ming really did possess that kind of strength.

Thinking about it this way, Shikamaru suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

Looking at Ino chattering away beside Yu Ming, Shikamaru thought to himself, "Could it be that Ino already knew? She was with Yu Ming every day back then, she must have known for a long time."

In fact, although Ino and Hinata knew that Yu Ming was very powerful, they did not know exactly how strong he was.

Kiba and Shino were also somewhat curious about Yumei.

Why was Yu Ming able to unleash such a terrifying aura just now?

However, neither of them were very familiar with Yu Ming, so it was difficult for them to inquire.

Kiba's biggest concern is Sasuke, and he has always regarded Sasuke as his rival.

Compared to Naruto, Sasuke still saw Kiba as someone who could compete with him.

So the two actually had a good relationship.
