Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Yu Ming smiled and said, "I can try my best."

The three goddesses stood in three directions from Yu Ming and began to unleash their ninjutsu.

"Let's begin. We'll help you attract natural energy, and you can manage your chakra and spiritual energy yourself."

Yu Ming nodded. "Mm."

The time it takes for Yu Ming to cultivate immortal techniques is no longer something he can grasp with just a glance, as it used to be.

However, it went very smoothly for him.

Natural energy continuously flowed into Yu Ming's body.

Yu Ming showed absolutely no sign of transforming into a snake.

It only had some facial makeup on its face, but there was no sign of it turning into a snake.

This situation has never occurred in Ryūji-dō before, in more than a thousand years.

The three goddesses were all stunned.

"This kid is actually cultivating towards the perfect level of immortality. He's just a human, how could he be so successful?"

The Three Goddesses couldn't believe it; Yu Ming was actually cultivating towards a perfect level of immortality.

Although he has not yet succeeded in his cultivation, it must be said that Yu Ming's cultivation is progressing very smoothly.

When the White Snake Immortal learned of this, he was also somewhat incredulous.

He personally came to Yuming's place to take a look.

In the end, it actually came to protect Yu Ming in person.

For so many years, Ryuchi Cave has never produced a single cultivator at the perfect level of 0.7.

However, Yu Ming already has this tendency.

At this moment, Yu Ming had entered a state of selflessness, his body constantly absorbing the natural energy from the outside world. His spiritual energy and chakra were tightly integrated with the natural energy, forming a large amount of Sage Chakra deposited in Yu Ming's body.

Moreover, when the White Snake Sage was protecting Yu Ming, he was once again amazed by Yu Ming's chakra reserves, saying, "This kid's chakra reserves are too vast, they're even comparable to those of a tailed beast."

Yu Ming's chakra reserves have now reached a level where he can contend with ordinary tailed beasts.

Because his chakra reserves have even surpassed Naruto's combined chakra reserves with half of the Nine-Tails.

This is a terrifying amount of chakra.

It was several times the chakra reserves of the Third and Fourth Raikage, whose combined chakra reserves were comparable to those of tailed beasts.

Chapter 102

Yu Ming continued his study of immortal arts in Longdi Cave for a very long time.

After all, Yu Ming's Sage Mode is at a perfect level, so it requires a long period of training, and he also needs to learn the corresponding ninjutsu.

Yu Ming, who had been training in Ryuchi Cave for a month, only learned that the Chunin Exams had begun when Shinya came to inform him.

Yu Ming sent a shadow clone to participate, but he didn't go at all.

In this Chunin Exam, Yu Ming's opponent has not been determined yet, because he has been given a bye again. It is unknown whether the Third Hokage did this on purpose.

In the end, it was decided that the winner of the elimination round would become Yu Ming's opponent.

Yu Ming's shadow clones were completely distracted during the Chunin Exams.

Hongdou sat next to Yuming's shadow clone. She knew that Yuming was currently in a shadow clone, but she wanted to ask him how his cultivation of immortal techniques was progressing.

After learning that Yu Ming's cultivation was going smoothly, Hong Dou breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried about Yu Ming before. Dragon Cave was a very dangerous place. If he couldn't cultivate successfully, he would probably be swallowed by those giant snakes. Although Yu Ming had the Flying Thunder God Technique, Hong Dou was still a little worried.

Now that she knows Yu Ming's cultivation is going smoothly, she is finally relieved.

However, after a month and nine of training, Hongdou was very curious to know how strong Yuming had become.

Anko was quite shocked when she saw Yu Ming defeat Orochimaru. She wondered if Yu Ming, who had learned Sage Mode, would be even more terrifying.

However, we don't know yet.

Yu Ming's shadow clone stood calmly on the sidelines, watching the battle unfold on the field.

He didn't feel anything. Even in his current shadow clone form, he could still defeat everyone on the field, including Orochimaru, who was sitting on the stage disguised as the Fourth Kazekage.

But he definitely won't make a move.

The exam proceeded smoothly while Yu Ming was away.

Finally, after Gaara went berserk, the entire exam ended.

The Third Hokage was also taken hostage to the rooftop of the arena.

Orochimaru's four subordinates activated the Four Purple Sun Formation, surrounding Orochimaru and the Third Hokage.

Anko froze, staring wide-eyed at Orochimaru on the rooftop.

At the same time, the entire audience in the arena was subjected to a genjutsu by Kabuto Yakushi.

A chaotic battle ensued between the Anbu ninjas and the Sunagakure ninjas. Anko tried to reach the Third Hokage but was trapped by the Sunagakure ninjas.

To ensure the success of this attack, Sunagakure mobilized more than a hundred ninjas.

They carried out purposeful destruction within Konoha Village, and many of the village's ninjas were killed before they could even react.

However, Yu Ming's shadow clone did not go to support the Third Hokage, but instead went to chase Gaara.

Kakashi knew that Yu Ming on the field was just a shadow clone, so he sent him to chase Gaara so that Gaara could not harm Sasuke.

Kakashi wasn't sure how strong Yu Ming's shadow clones were, so he didn't send Yu Ming to the rooftop to support the Third Hokage.

After discarding his Kazekage robe on the rooftop, Orochimaru looked at the Third Hokage and laughed, "Hahaha, Sarutobi-sensei, it seems you were prepared too."

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru with a very serious expression. "Orochimaru, how dare you impersonate the Fourth Kazekage? You are incredibly audacious."

However, the Third Hokage now clearly understands that Sunagakure has likely already cooperated with Orochimaru.

Sure enough, Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Sarutobi-sensei, look around at how many Sunagakure ninjas are here. Do you think I'm impersonating someone else?"

The Third Hokage frowned, but now was not the time to think about this. Looking at Orochimaru, he said, "I saw you in the Forest of Death before, how could I not be on guard? I just didn't expect you to dare to impersonate the Fourth Kazekage."

"What happened to the Fourth Kazekage?"

The Third Hokage wasn't concerned about the Fourth Kazekage; he simply didn't want to provoke a war between Sunagakure and Konoha.

Neither Konoha nor Sunagakure can withstand the blows of war.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "The Fourth Kazekage, he was very strong at the time, but unfortunately, no matter how strong he was, he could not have imagined that I would assassinate him."

The Third Hokage frowned. "So you really did it. You wanted to start a war between Konoha and Sunagakure, didn't you, you wicked disciple?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Never mind all that. Today I've prepared some gifts for you. You can just destroy Konoha along with it. It's all your fault for not choosing the right Fifth Hokage, hahaha."

"If that guy were still here, my plan might be difficult to implement, but now, I don't know where he's gone. It's like even God wants you dead, teacher."

Orochimaru chuckled.

The Third Hokage was somewhat unsure who Orochimaru was referring to, and who else in Konoha was like that.

Kakashi? Or Guy? Or perhaps Jiraiya?

Actually, the Third Hokage was still unaware of Jiraiya's return to Konoha.

However, apart from Jiraiya, there was no one else who could threaten Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at the Third Hokage's gloomy face and laughed, "Sarutobi-sensei, you probably don't know who that person is, do you? Death Forest, why do you think I suddenly left?"

The third generation pondered for a moment, "The Forest of Death, could it be?"

Upon realizing this, the Third Generation trembled. "The person you're talking about, could it be Yu Ming?"

Orochimaru laughed, "Sarutobi-sensei, you're really getting senile. You don't even know you have such a powerful ninja by your side. But he's not here now. The one on this field is just a shadow clone."

"If he hadn't been there, my plan might not have been able to succeed, haha."

The Third Hokage frowned and asked, "What exactly happened to Yu Ming?"

He had absolutely no idea what Orochi 243maru meant.

Orochimaru laughed, "That guy's strength is far more than what you see. But that's normal. Living in Konoha, how could he reveal his full strength? Besides, his teacher is Kakashi."

"Back in the Forest of Death, he killed me with just two ninjutsu. If I hadn't been able to revive with the power of the cursed seal, I would be dead by now. His strength should have surpassed yours by now. It's just a pity that this guy doesn't have the Sharingan. What a shame, otherwise I would have chosen him as my reincarnation subject."

"What a beautiful gem! It's a pity that Konoha is about to be destroyed. Even after I get Uchiha Sasuke, I won't lose to him."

The Third Hokage was genuinely shocked that Yu Ming was able to kill Orochimaru.

To kill one of the Legendary Sannin, Yu Ming only used two moves. This means that Yu Ming's strength must have already surpassed his opponent's, and Yu Ming is only twelve years old.

A terrifying talent.

However, the Third Hokage showed no sadness or regret. Looking at Orochimaru, he smiled and said, "Hehe, I believe that Yu Ming will lead Konoha to become stronger in the future. He is not here now, but when he returns, he will resolve the issues between Sunagakure and Konoha."

"And today I will deal with you, this wicked disciple, even if it costs me my life."

Chapter 103

Orochimaru smiled. "Teacher, your personality hasn't changed at all. Do you think I came here unprepared today?"

Orochimaru didn't waste any words with the Third Hokage this time and began forming hand seals.

"The technique of reincarnation in the Impure World".

As Orochimaru completed his hand seals, three coffins slowly rose in front of him.

Upon seeing these coffins, the third generation immediately realized something.

He quickly tried to stop Orochimaru's actions.

"Orochimaru, you actually toy with the souls of the dead. You are truly beyond redemption."

Orochimaru laughed heartily.

After the three coffins were raised, the Third Hokage threw out shuriken.

It hit the third coffin perfectly.

With his hands forming a mudra, he forcefully pressed the coffin down.

After seeing that the Third Hokage had stopped the third coffin, Orochimaru laughed and said, "What a pity, but it's enough for now."

The people inside the two coffins were clearly identified by the inscriptions on the outside.
