From Hokage to Visionary

Naruto scratched his hair and asked in surprise, "But, it should be three people to take the exam, right?"

"The Hokage has allowed me to attend alone."

Eri's voice was cold and expressionless.

She has always been indifferent to people she doesn't know or people she is not interested in, and she is used to this expression.

"It's so cold."

Naruto shrank his neck and suddenly felt that Sakura was better.

At least, not that cold.

"Go ahead, and be careful."

Uchiha Sogetsu patted the girl's back gently and gave her a warning.

"Ah."

Eri nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, I will protect you!" Naruto stepped forward and patted his chest, confidently saying, "Although we just met, since you and Sasuke are good friends, you are my friend!"

"Hehe, you should take care of yourself first, you're the last one."

Sasuke sneered. Only she knew the deep meaning behind Mr. Uesugi's instructions.

It's not about asking Eiry to be careful with them, but asking Eiry to be careful and not be too harsh, so as not to leave psychological trauma on these people.

"For the first exam, please enter the examination room in the order in which your numbers are called."

Just as everyone was chatting, the Chunin in charge of this exam came out and called people one by one according to the order on the paper.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, examination room number 1."

"Eri, Ishida Noto, Matsushita Nagaya. Examination Room 2."

Because there were too many people taking the Chunin Exam, Konoha implemented a strategy of dividing the examination rooms.

"What a pity, it's not even an examination room."

Sasuke was a little dejected.

"It's okay, we'll see you in the second game."

Eri smiled gently and comforted her.

"Yeah, that's an appointment, see you at the second game!"

Sasuke cheered himself up, smiled and waved goodbye to Eri.

As for Uchiha Sotsuki, after seeing off Eri, he came to the reception room specially used for watching the exams, where most of the senior ninjas sent by various countries gathered together.

The examination process was exactly as described in the original book.

The chief examiner, Morino Ibiki, has a natural "villain" face and uses torture techniques to constantly squeeze the psychological limits of the examinees.

However, since there were too many people taking the exam, the Chunin in charge of supervising the exam was many times stricter than in the original work.

More than half of the 1,200 Genin were eliminated in the first round of the exam!

The expressions of the jonin from various countries were very interesting. After all, it was extremely embarrassing to see their own genin being eliminated, and in front of other countries.

"Haha, next is the Forest of Death."

The Third Hokage smoked his pipe and said with a smile: "Everyone, please follow me to the Forest of Death."

Everyone agrees.

Uchiha Sogetsu was naturally among them, but he could feel that from beginning to end, the gaze of the 'Third Hokage' was vaguely paying attention to him.

"Strange, for such an important exam, not only Kakashi is not present, but even Asuma Sarutobi is absent." He glanced at everyone, a little surprised.

It was understandable that Kakashi was not here, since he was a habitual latecomer.

However, as a member of the Sarutobi family, the absence of Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, is a bit intriguing.

Never mind, he is not an important person and is not worthy of His attention.

Forest of death.

The rules of the second exam were simple. Each team was randomly assigned a scroll.

According to the words on the scrolls, if you can collect the two scrolls of "Heaven" and "Earth" within five days and reach the center of the Death Forest, you will pass the exam.

In a sense, it can be regarded as the Konoha version of "Battle Royale".

Since Eri is the only one and is considered to be the strongest, she is not given an initial scroll. She needs to get two scrolls to qualify.

Eri herself didn't have any opinion on this. After all, she was just here to have fun, and whether she could pass the exam was no longer a consideration.

The invigilator for the second exam was naturally Mitarashi Anko.

Each group was asked to set off in order every half an hour, and soon it was Sasuke and his group's turn.

"Eri, let's go in first!"

Sasuke waved and said with a warm smile: "If you meet us, remember to show mercy~"

Soon, all members stepped into the Forest of Death.

Sasuke and his team were stuck in the middle, not very good, but not very bad either.

At this time, Uchiha Sogetsu looked at a quiet figure meaningfully, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Come on, let me see how much you have improved after so many years."

After entering the Forest of Death, Sasuke immediately led the other two and headed at full speed towards the central tower of the Forest of Death.

"Wait, Sasuke!" Naruto asked, a little confused. "We haven't collected all the scrolls yet. Even if we reach the central tower, we can't pass it!"

"Idiot Naruto."

Sasuke glanced at the yellow-haired man in a reproachful manner and said, "We should go to the central tower in advance, occupy the advantageous terrain, set traps, and wait for other teams to come. We can catch them all in one fell swoop when they are tired and weak. This way, we can save energy and avoid the initial melee."

"I see."

After hearing the whole plan, Naruto showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but soon became angry and said, "I've told you a hundred times, don't call me an idiot!"

"So I call you the tail end?"

Sasuke raised the corners of his lips and said with amusement.

"No, you can't ask me to be the last one!"

Naruto was so angry that he was about to explode. If Sasuke wasn't a girl, he would have beaten this guy up long ago.

Oh, of course there is another reason, which is that we simply cannot defeat him.

From childhood to adulthood, Sasuke's "dominance" is unquestionable. Anyone who faces him will be defeated, so he is dubbed a "genius".

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Sasuke stopped and stared ahead vigilantly.

"what happened?"

The person in front of him braked suddenly, and Naruto didn't have time to react and crashed into him.

A refreshing fragrance spreads across the nose.

The girl's unique soft body made Naruto's face steam like a steamer, and his skin was as red as a roasted shrimp.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Naruto shyly distanced himself and tried to explain.

However, the two streams of blood flowing from the nose made Haruno Sakura next to her look shocked, with an expression of "Are you BT?" on her face.

"Stop it!"

Sasuke's voice suddenly rose several pitches.

In an instant, Naruto and Sakura both realized that there was a high probability that a very difficult problem had arisen!

Otherwise, Sasuke would never speak in such a tone.

"Hehehe. Have you been discovered?"

At this moment, a hoarse and cold voice came from the depths of the dark and lush woods.

It was as if a snake's tongue was sweeping across their skin, damp and cold, filled with chilling murderous intent, which made the three of them feel a chill!

"As expected, you are the last bloodline of the Uchiha family."

A figure suddenly appeared on a branch deep in the jungle.

The long black hair that falls naturally, the unnaturally pale face, and the weird snake-like pupils are all enough to make people tremble with fear.

The moment he saw the other person, Sasuke realized that this was definitely not a terrifying enemy that they could currently match!

Without his naked murderous intent, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on one's body. The oppressive feeling coming from all directions made one feel as if one was in an ocean ten thousand meters deep. One's skin and even one's hair were trembling, and one's soul seemed to be crushed into pieces, emitting a painful wailing cry.

Every cell in the body is sending fear signals to the brain.

"We are willing to hand over the scroll."

Sasuke sweatdropped and carefully took out the scroll marked with 'Earth' and put it down: "Please let us go."

Sakura was completely frightened. The murderous intent was even more terrifying than Zabuza's!

No, to be precise, Zabuza's murderous intent was as immature as a baby's in front of this man.

"Sasuke?!"

Naruto stared at the scroll in shock. He had never seen the proud Sasuke lower his head and beg the enemy to let him go.

Immediately, a surge of anger surged up in his head, and he even broke through the restraints of the killing intent: "Sasuke, are you kidding? You actually bowed your head and begged for mercy from the enemy, are you really the Sasuke I know?!"

"Shut up!"

Sasuke clenched his teeth and his face turned pale.

How could she give up her pride and dignity and bow down to an enemy?

the reason is simple.

That person's strength is too terrifying. His murderous intent alone is enough to shock them. He is definitely not a 'character' that should appear in the Chunin Exam!

"Giving up the scroll in exchange for survival is a smart choice."

The man licked his lips, but there was a chilling light in his eyes. He grinned and said, "But if I want to kill you and then take the scroll, what then?"

Looking at those strange eyes filled with murderous intent, Sasuke's inner expectations gradually cooled down.

She knew that the other party was serious!

"Then, we can only fight!"

Since there is no hope of "surrendering", then give up all illusions!

Uchiha Sasuke's pupils suddenly turned blood red, and his two symmetrical magatama slowly rotated. He said in a cold voice: "Naruto, take Sakura away immediately and go find the invigilator to report that there is an intruder in the Death Forest. It is suspected to be a jonin, no, an elite jonin!"

"how about you?"

Naruto asked dumbfoundedly.

"I'll hold him back!"

Sasuke resolutely drew out his kunai and stood in front of the two of them.

Yes, she is the only one among the three who has a hope of escaping from the other party, so she is the only one who can carry out the task of covering the others!

Chapter 430 Transaction (Part )

Delay him?

Looking at Sasuke's confident look, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile.

A mere Genin wants to hold him back? !

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

He looked at the group of people calmly and said calmly: "It's just right, it allows me to see the remaining bloodline of the Uchiha family."

As the words fell, an aura as deep as the abyss lapping against the forest like a surging wave.

The fallen leaves flew in the strong wind, like tangible cold murderous intent, stimulating and stirring the fragile nerves of the three people. The feeling of oppression was even heavier than before, making them unable to breathe for a moment.
