Naruto: My setting is above yours.

While she may not be as charming as Tsunade, she is still a great beauty and exudes a vibrant and energetic aura.

Upon closer inspection, it does indeed possess a unique charm.

This is in stark contrast to fennel.

Fennel appears gentler, but also more delicate; its strength lies hidden beneath.

After the two approached, Xuanma took the initiative to greet them: "Sister Huixiang".

Fennel was less nervous around Genma, but still a little reserved: "Just call me by my name."

Genma smiled and then greeted Kushina Uzumaki: "Hello, Kushina-neechan. I'm Genma Mikaze, Kakashi's classmate and friend."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed, "Genma-kun, I know you, Sakumo-senpai's disciple, the brat Tsunade mentioned, hahaha!"

This personality... is indeed suitable for being a Jinchūriki.

Genma laughed along, "Yes, I am that brat, but I believe Lady Tsunade will soon stop calling me that."

Kushina Uzumaki blinked, then asked earnestly and with great curiosity, "Eh, why is that?"

She gestured to indicate Genma's height: "You are indeed a little taller than Kakashi and the others, but you're only 9 years old now. It will be many more years before you become an adult!"

Genma was full of confidence: "Because I made a bet with Lady Tsunade, and she will definitely lose."

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but put one hand on her hip and burst into laughter: "That's right, you're really smart!"

"However, I've learned this method now, you won't mind, will you?"

Xuanma shrugged: "Of course not."

"However, as a friendly reminder, Lady Tsunade is someone who would definitely lose to me."

Kushina Uzumaki raised her chin: "Really?"

"I do not believe!"

Xuanma is indeed a reminder.

It's fine if Tsunade loses, but it wouldn't be a good thing if she won.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha interjected, "Master's wife, weren't we talking about eating?"

"My stomach is about to burst!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kushina Uzumaki grabbed his shoulder and gently threatened, "Very good. Now you need to fill your stomach properly so you'll have the energy to train."

"If you don't eat properly..."

Kushina Uzumaki smiled brightly and brandished her fist: "You'll die a horrible death!"

Obito Uchiha's face turned pale instantly.

Compared to the gentle teacher Minato Namikaze, his wife Kushina Uzumaki was practically a violent maniac.

Fennel then gently beckoned to everyone, "Come and eat!"

Minato Namikaze smiled and thanked him, "Thank you."

"Let's all eat together, Kakashi, Rin, and Genma, don't be shy."

Genma reached out and took the biscuit from Fennel's hand: "Thank you."

Fennel smiled gently: "You're welcome."

Everyone enjoyed the food together in a harmonious atmosphere.

However, Genma didn't stay long. When Kushina and the other left, he also took his leave.

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage's lounge in the Hokage Building.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was practicing calligraphy, with great dissatisfaction: "That girl named Kurenai is also from the Uzumaki clan. Tsunade brought her back from outside. If that's the case, why hasn't she made any moves?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued writing calligraphy with his head down: "She is currently learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade. Tsunade said that she has a high talent in this area and can become an outstanding medical ninja in the future."

Danzo scoffed, "Medical ninja?"

"For the village, having a backup Jinchūriki is the most important thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up: "She might not be suitable."

Danzo immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Give her to Root; Root can make her a suitable candidate."

"Hiruzen, you know that Root has this ability."

The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, with no father or mother, is perfectly suited to the Root.

Regardless of whether they can become backup jinchūriki, Root can gain a valuable asset.

In particular, this person can influence the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo, understanding his intentions, and feigned a headache, saying, "Danzo, she's Tsunade's person, and Kushina wouldn't allow her childhood friend to join Root."

Danzo was furious: "Everything is for the village, and anyone needs to be sacrificed."

"Since we are under the protection of Konoha, we need to make corresponding contributions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi countered, "Can you convince Tsunade?"

"And what about Kushina? If this causes negative repercussions, can you afford the consequences?"

Danzo's expression immediately turned ugly: Isn't this something you, as the Hokage, should do and bear the responsibility for?

Seeing that Danzo remained silent, Hiruzen Sarutobi set the tone: "Let's leave it at that."

"The Uzumaki clan is an ally of Konoha. Back then, the village was powerless... It was our duty to protect an orphan of the Uzumaki clan."

Danzo left, seething with anger.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, put down his brush, and picked up his pipe to smoke.

Based on intelligence from various sources, he had already vaguely sensed the unrest in the ninja world.

Only a few years have passed since the last great war, and several ninja villages are already starting to stir.

This is especially true of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

The village has not yet fully recovered from the last Shinobi World War, which makes Hiruzen Sarutobi feel uneasy.

Fortunately, the situation is now stable internally.

Thinking that Hiruzen Sarutobi would take out a list.

It was during this Chunin Exam; the names are highlighted on the document.

Leading them were Genma Mikazuki and Kakashi Hatake.

"Lan also gave birth to a good son. Sakumo is indeed a discerning person."

Looking at the list, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of joy.

The Wind-Riding Black Horse was an absolute surprise for him.

Kakashi was a genius who became famous very early on.

Although Genma Yufeng had excellent grades at the Ninja Academy, he wasn't as prominent as Kakashi and was often overlooked.

According to reports from Sakumo Hatake and the Anbu, he is now considered a genius who surpasses Kakashi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a lot of anticipation for the upcoming Chunin Exams.

But seeing her youngest son's name made her sigh with a headache.

That's too rebellious!

Thank goodness for Shinnosuke!

……

Time passed day by day, and soon the day of the first Chunin Exam arrived.

A classroom at the ninja academy.

Three months later, Xuanma returned here.

The exam papers were being handed out, and then the classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Obito Uchiha rushed in, covered in sweat.

The examiner glanced at them and continued distributing the test papers.

Looking at Uchiha Obito, Genma almost thought that this guy was a program, and that he was really late on time.

Then he suddenly thought of a conspiracy theory.

It is said that the old lady who was helped by Obito Uchiha was actually a White Zetsu in disguise.

White Zetsu!

Xuanma was somewhat tempted.

If you catch this thing, it's quite useful.

Would you like to take a look?

As Xuanma was thinking, the exam paper arrived in his hands.

Chapter 42 A Decisive Strike (Please read on Tuesday!)

The first written test was very easy for Genma, whose knowledge base was vast, comparable to that of a Jonin.

The fact that Obito Uchiha finished the exam and handed in his paper in half an hour made him very envious, as he was biting his pen and racking his brains.

"Sigh, I should have studied harder."

Obito Uchiha sighed inwardly, filled with regret.

After leaving the examination hall, Genma thought for a moment and then created a clone to activate Wood Release Chakra Mode.

He knew that ordinary sensory ninjutsu would definitely not be able to find White Zetsu.

But the Wood Release Chakra Mode might be different.

After all, White Zetsu is in a vegetative state!

After activating Wood Release Chakra Mode, Genma's clone immediately used a transformation technique to turn into a crow and flew to the vicinity of the Uchiha clan's settlement area.
