Konoha: There is a Kakarot inside me

'My life is so difficult. Not only do I have to be on guard against the opposite sex, I also have to be on guard against the same sex.'

"Seal to Seale Evil." Naruto tapped Sasuke's shoulder, and a string of black tadpole runes appeared on Sasuke's shoulder along Naruto's fingers. Then these runes surrounded the seal, and finally disappeared from sight together.

"Just deal with it this way for now. After this second exam, I'll help you clean this thing up completely."

Disappearance is only temporary, its essence still exists. Because Orochimaru's curse seal has part of his consciousness mixed in it, it will reappear as long as there is a chance.

"Go find the remaining scrolls."

The second round of the Chunin Exam is the Death Forest. To those who are truly powerful, this place is no different from an ordinary garden.

Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are basically ineffective against Chunin-level ninjas.

"I heard that someone has gathered all the scrolls and reached the tower." In the tower in the center of the Death Forest, several Chunins were watching the video footage in the surveillance room.

"It's the Sand Village."

One of the Chunins said as he looked at Gaara on the monitor.

"Four hours. This speed, let alone Genin, even ordinary Chunin can't be like him, right?"

"Hey, take a close look at that kid carrying the gourd." Another Chunin said, "Not only is his hair intact, but even his clothes aren't dirty."

"No way, when did the Sand Village produce such a genius?"

"Having broken the previous record for the fastest passage through the Forest of Death, do our Konoha Genin still have a chance this time?"

"Yes." A ninja dressed in ANBU clothing spoke up and pointed a finger, saying, "There is another team. It's faster than them."

For major events like the 'Joint Chunin Exam', the Anbu also needs to arrange manpower.

"Who?" asked a group of Chunins.

"Didn't you guys notice?" the Anbu ninja continued, "The Team 7 led by Kakashi had already arrived at the tower before this."

"What?!" Several examiners hurriedly retrieved the surveillance video from the tower, searching for clues frame by frame, and finally found traces of Naruto and his group in the video from two hours ago.

"When did this happen?"

Being able to arrive at the destination early under the noses of the examiners shows his terrifying strength.

"Team 7 is the class where 'that' and the Uchiha descendants are."

“I didn’t expect that only 10 teams would win.”

There are 40 ninja teams with a total of 120 Genin, and only 10 teams successfully collected the scrolls of heaven and earth, with an elimination rate of up to 75%.

On the high tower, the Third Hokage slowly walked up to the podium. A group of Konoha ninjas stood on his left, and on his right stood the leading jonin from other ninja villages.

Orochimaru, the leader of the Sound Village, was among them.

'Maki is coming.' Naruto glanced at the Maki jonin standing next to Orochimaru.

'Poor Fourth Kazekage, the most reliable subordinate in the entire ninja village is actually the teacher of his own children.'

Although he is not outstanding in front of the other jonin of Konoha, he is indeed one of the few outstanding jonin of Sand Village.

The leading jonin of the Snow Ninja Village was Langya Avalanche, but unfortunately the entire Snow Ninja Village was wiped out. The leading jonin of the Seed Ninja Village was a jonin of the Fuma clan, but the Seed Ninjas were also defeated.

On the contrary, Rain Village and Taki Village each had a team entering the third round.

The Third Hokage, standing on the stage, began to promote his argument that the Chunin Joint Exam was a microcosm of the war between ninja villages.

Naruto shrugged it off.

The so-called epitome of war is simply nonsense, it is just Konoha showing off its military power unilaterally. Among the five major ninja villages, except for the Sand Ninja who was forced to take this joint exam because they are allies, who cares about Konoha except for the Rock Ninja, Mist Ninja, and Cloud Ninja?

However, there is one thing that the Third Generation said was correct. The Chunin Exam was indeed held to demonstrate a country's national strength. Strong countries would be assigned more tasks, while weak countries would have their tasks reduced accordingly.

As for Konoha's share of the looting mission.

The Sand Ninja has not had any Genin enter the finals for several years in a row, and the Daimyo of the Wind Country is already considering simply canceling the tasks and funds assigned to the Sand Ninja and transferring all tasks to Konoha.

If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, Rasa would not have agreed to Orochimaru's plan.

If this continues, the Sand Village will become a second-rate ninja village.

As for other small ninja villages, the gap between them and the big ninja villages is not so easy to make up. Whenever there are outstanding ninjas in the Chunin Exam, most of them cannot escape the fate of being assassinated.

Which serious ninja village would send its own genius to participate in the Konoha Joint Chunin Exam?

There is only his Konoha family.

"Ahem. Lord Sandaime, my apologies." After the Sandaime finished his speech, a ninja who looked sick and had heavy dark circles under his eyes came up to him.

Konoha's special jonin - the transparent ninja - Gekko Gale.

The man who was named after the Wind but died before the Wind.

The Crescent Moon Dance, Sasuke and Naruto's favorite opening move, is his strongest trump card.

The third generation nodded to him.

Gekkou Gale turned around and said to the Genin who were passing through the Death Forest behind them: "I will be the referee for the third exam preliminaries."

There are 10 Genin in total in 30 teams, which is too many to participate in the third Chunin Exam.

You should know that during the third round of the Chunin Exam, Konoha invited daimyos and nobles from all over the world to watch, showing their strength and boosting the economy at the same time.

But the adults' time is precious and cannot be wasted. They are not interested in watching the Chunin promotion tournament for days and nights. Just a few games will be enough for them to watch.

Therefore, less than half of the thirty people who advance will be enough.

Hey, for the nobles to watch.

It's just like a monkey show in public.

In other words, the nobles who watched the game might have been watching a monkey show.

But this time the monkey show is different from the past and it is very interesting.

“If anyone is feeling unwell or does not want to participate after listening to my explanation, please raise your hand.”

"If not, we'll start the preliminaries. Ahem."

Gekko Hayate said in a formal manner. This was not the first time he served as the examiner of the Chunin Exam. In his opinion, few ninjas who could make it to this point would give up.

But what I didn’t expect was that this time some people actually chose to abstain.

"I" only saw Dou slowly raise his right hand while saying: "Abstain."

Moonlight Gale glanced at the list in his hand and found Kabuto's information: "Yakushi Kabuto, you have failed the Chunin Exam seven times in a row. This is your eighth time to take the Chunin Exam. Are you sure you want to give up?"

"Yes, I am covered in wounds now." Kabuto pointed at the wounds on his body and the blood-oozing bandages, "My body won't allow me to continue fighting."

"Instead of being eliminated, it is better to retain your strength and prepare for the next exam."

"A wise choice." Moonlight Gale nodded, agreeing with what Kabuto said. He then said to the other Genin, "Does anyone else want to withdraw? This preliminaries is based on individuals. If you want to continue participating, please think carefully."

"I'll give up too." Following Dou's abstention, another person raised his hand.

"Me too."

No, there are three of them.

The three of them are in the same team.

Karin's temporary team.

"Karin, Nobuyuki, Sai, are you sure you want to give up?" Moonlight Gale looked at the three of them and frowned slightly.

What's going on? Normally, any Genin who came to the third exam would fight to the end, so why did they all choose to give up this time?

The examiner of the second exam, Hongdou, frowned as she looked at the information of Karin and the other two and said, "Sir, there seems to be a lack of information on these three people."

"Don't worry, I know the situation of these three." The third generation waved his hand and said leisurely.

Sending people to take the exam and then giving up halfway. Danzo, what do you want to do?

Recently, Sandai has become increasingly confused about what his old friend is thinking.

Kabuto smiled and said hello to the Konoha Genin, then turned and left. The moment he left the venue, Karin's temporary team followed him.

When walking out of the tower and about to leave the outskirts of the Death Forest, Karin and the other two stopped Kabuto.

"Senior Kabuto, please wait a moment."

"There is a gentleman who wishes to see you."

"Karin-scholar." Kabuto smiled and said to Karin and the other two, "You can see that I am covered in wounds. I need to go to the medical room."

He said as he casually approached the three people.

When she was two steps away from the three people, Karin spoke again: "Senior Dou, if you get close to me and use the Palm Immortal Technique to attack, please control your murderous aura to the minimum first."

"Yeah, you found out everything." Even after being exposed, Dou still kept smiling, and the murderous aura on his body did not diminish at all: "If that's the case."

He instantly appeared beside Karin and slashed towards Karin with the chakra scalpel in his hand.

"Ding" I saw a sword blocking his attack.

Then several pure black monsters appeared behind him and surrounded him.

"Senior Kabuto, this is what Danzo-sama meant."

"If you continue to attack, I will regard it as an attempt to go against the wishes of Danzo-sama."

"Oh my, the new Root people nowadays are really amazing."

Dou said this, lifting his glasses on his nose, the lenses reflecting strange light in the sunlight.

"The game is one-on-one, with no restrictions on any form or method, until the other party dies or admits defeat."

"For the sake of your lives, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Moonlight Gale reminded while explaining the rules of the game.

It is similar to the World Martial Arts Tournament, but because it is a battle between ninjas, the use of weapons is not prohibited. If the opponent is stubborn and refuses to surrender, the winner can be killed.

An electronic screen appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Please ask the contestant whose name is displayed to compete."

"First Match: Haruno Sakura vs. Koto Hamura"

"I'm not as weak as you Konoha ninjas." Qin started trash-talking Sakura as soon as she came on the court: "Your long hair is even more beautiful than mine, let me shave it clean for you this time."

She just looked at Sakura with malice.

Otogakure has never been a kind place. It believes in the rule of the jungle.

And she is also an outstanding existence among the Genin of Sound Ninja.

Qin, who came out of there, has a natural superiority over the Konoha ninjas who came out of the greenhouse.

It's a pity that she doesn't understand that in the Naruto world there is something called talent.

The most important thing in this world is talent.

Sakura took a step forward and instantly came in front of Qin. Before the other party could react, she punched Qin hard in the abdomen. The sound of the heavy object hitting the target made the eyelids of the Genin present twitch.

Poor Qin was knocked down by a blow before she could perform.

"You talk too much, just shut up!"

Even though Sakura's strength is far from that of Sasuke and Naruto, she is not comparable to any ordinary person.

"Game 2"

There's nothing interesting about the Genin level match. Except for Gaara, they are basically all weaklings.

An unfortunate Taki ninja encountered Gaara and was instantly killed by his Sandstorm Funeral, becoming the first person to sacrifice.

After killing the Taki ninja, Gaara gave Naruto a bloodthirsty smile.

It's like announcing that you're next.

It seems that the greeting before the Chunin Exam did not make him restrain himself, but instead stimulated him even more.

"Kuroma, it seems that you don't hold a high position in Shukaku's heart."

"It's so noisy, so noisy!" Kurama muttered, turning over and facing away from Naruto.

Yesterday, Goku forced him into a fight and now he was half dead. He wasn't going to pay any attention to what Naruto said.

Soon, the candidates who would officially take part in the third exam were determined, a total of thirteen people.

All members of Team 7, where Naruto was, advanced, as did Neji and Rock Lee, and all three members of Gaara advanced, as well as Hinata, Shikamaru, Shino, Toss and a Rain Ninja.
