When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

Naruto Uzumaki: "Why?"

Xiao Li: "Because all I know is physical combat!"

Naruto Uzumaki: "Damn, you seemed so honest, but I didn't expect you to be such a scheming guy!"

Xiao Li: "..."

After the truth about the indoor arson case came to light.

Jiang Cheng and his group continued walking towards the examination venue.

The venue for this Chunin Exam is room 301, which is located at the very back of the third floor!

It's only a short distance from the indoor training ground where Uchiha Sasuke and Lee sparred!

When Jiang Cheng and his group arrived at the venue.

From afar, they spotted Kakashi standing at the entrance of the classroom.

"Huh? What's Kakashi-sensei doing here? Aren't Jonin instructors not allowed to be in the exam hall?"

Sakura looked puzzled.

The three of them quickly arrived in front of Kakashi.

However, upon seeing them, Kakashi couldn't help but frown: "What? Sasuke didn't come?"

Naruto Uzumaki gloated, "Sasuke just set fire to the room and has been disqualified from the exam!"

"Arson inside the house?"

Kakashi was slightly taken aback: "Could it be that the fire over the indoor training ground was caused by Sasuke?"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said, "Yeah, but it's fine this way. Anyway, as long as Team 7 has me, Naruto Uzumaki, it's enough. It doesn't matter whether Sasuke comes or not!"

Kakashi sighed: "Then you two should go back too. Team 7's exam qualification is revoked!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto was immediately dumbfounded: "Huh? Why? We didn't start the fire!"

Kakashi explained, "Actually, I forgot to tell you guys that the Chunin Exams are organized by class. Only if all three members of a class apply to participate can they qualify for the exam!"

"The pre-exam test I gave the three of you was to prove your strength. If even one of you fails, Team 7 will not be able to apply for the Chunin Exams!"

"It's a pity that although the three of you passed the pre-exam assessment, an accident occurred on the way, which prevented Uchiha Sasuke from taking the exam. Therefore, Team 7 is missing one person, and their exam qualification has to be cancelled!"

At this point, Kakashi shook his head with a regretful expression and said, "Never mind, the Chunin Exams are held every six months anyway, so you guys should go back and prepare well for the Chunin Exams in the second half of the year!"

[Tobirama Senju: Huh? I didn't expect the Chunin Exams to have rules like this nowadays!]

Minato Namikaze: The main purpose of this rule is to make test takers pay attention to the importance of teamwork.

After all, Chunin are sometimes the leaders of a mission squad, and it's difficult to be a leader if you don't care about your squad members!

[Uchiha Madara: Tch~ A mere Chunin, yet he pulls so many tricks!]

[Hashirama Senju: I actually think this exam rule is pretty good. After all, one person's strength can never match the strength of a team!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, it's one thing for those good-for-nothings to say something like that, but I never expected it to come from your mouth!]

[Hashirama Senju: Am I wrong? Unity is strength! Wasn't our original intention in founding the ninja village for the great unity of the ninja world?]

Madara Uchiha: It seems that even after being dead for so long, you still haven't figured out that principle!

There are two main reasons why people around the world unite.

One reason is that they have a common enemy, and the other is that they share common interests.

If that common enemy disappears, or their interests are threatened, do you think they will still unite?

[Hashirama Senju: But...]

Madara Uchiha: No buts, just look at the current power structure of the ninja world and you'll understand.

On the surface, the five kingdoms stand in a tripartite balance, checking and balancing each other, but countless small kingdoms survive in the cracks between them.

Even after three Shinobi World Wars, this situation remained unchanged.

Even in this era of peace, nations are still engaged in open and covert struggles, and conflicts continue. Do you know why?

[Hashirama Senju: Why?]

Madara Uchiha: Because they don't have a common enemy. If now suddenly an enemy appears that even the Five Great Nations can't deal with.

I'm certain that the fragmented ninja world will eventually unite!

[Hashirama Senju: Is this the violent method of suppressing everything with force that you told me about back then?]

[Uchiha Madara: Am I wrong?]

[Hashirama Senju: ...]

[Tobirama Senju: You're right, but this kind of unity achieved by threatening others can only be temporary.]

Unless, of course, that person can live forever!

[Uchiha Madara: It seems Tobirama, you're the smartest one!]

At this point, Madara Uchiha's gaze suddenly turned cold.

He murmured to himself: "It's coming soon. This immortal person will soon appear in the ninja world!"

"But Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say last time that participation in the Chunin Exams was voluntary?"

Sakura Haruno panicked when she saw that she had been inexplicably disqualified from the exam.

She remembered that when Kakashi told Team 7 about the Chunin Exams last time, he clearly said that participation was voluntary.

Why has it suddenly become that all three students from the same class must participate at the same time?

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes and said, "That's right, I did say that back then, but I was just kidding!"

Sakura Haruno looked puzzled: "Why?"

Kakashi: "Because of you!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's expression changed drastically. He pointed at Kakashi and roared, "Ah! Kakashi-sensei, do you also like Sakura? Teacher-student relationships are a heinous crime! I'm going to report you to the Hokage!"

"Idiot... Idiot, how could I possibly be with a brat like Sakura?"

Kakashi punched Naruto Uzumaki on the head.

To avoid any misunderstanding, he could only continue to explain, "The reason I lied to you is because if I told the truth, you and Sasuke would definitely force Sakura to take the exam!"

"And Sakura will definitely be reluctant to take the exam because she's afraid of dragging the class down, am I right, Sakura!"

Finally, Kakashi's deadpan eyes suddenly glanced at Sakura.

However, Sakura said resolutely, "Kakashi-sensei, you're wrong. I was originally planning to participate in the Chunin Exams, but not for Team 7, but for myself!"

When did this girl become so confident in herself?

Kakashi was slightly taken aback.

This Chunin Exam!

Although he recommended the three members of Team 7 to the Third Hokage at the time.

But in reality, he only favored Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

He didn't have high hopes for Sakura Haruno!

After all, the other party's personality is still somewhat weak!

It's like a child who has just been separated from its mother's embrace.

The Chunin Exams are still a bit too early for them!

However, he did not expect it to be so.

Sakura Haruno's performance today far exceeded his expectations.

They not only performed excellently in the pre-exam assessment.

Moreover, even her gentle personality has become completely different from before.

Kakashi said with satisfaction, "It seems that Sakura has made more progress than Naruto and Sasuke during this period!"

Xiaoying didn't say anything, but silently glanced at Jiang Cheng standing beside her.

Her cheeks flushed slightly!

He thought to himself: Of course I have to work hard, otherwise how can I catch up with Jiangcheng!

"Now that everything has been explained to you, Team 7 is free to do as they please during the Chunin Exams!"

Kakashi waved and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly called out to him: "Kakashi-sensei, I wonder if I could take the exam in place of Sasuke and participate with Naruto and Sakura!"

"You want to replace Sasuke?"

Kakashi's eyes flickered as he looked at Jiang Cheng.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "As far as I know, the Chunin Exams are supposed to be in groups of three, not necessarily from the same class, right? Right now, your Team 7 is short one person. If I join, we'll have exactly three people, won't we?"

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the Chunin Exams!"

Kakashi said with a look of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly asked, "Kakashi-sensei, is what Jiang Cheng said true?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "That's right, the Chunin Exams can indeed be participated in as a group of three!"

"Great! Now I can keep showing off during the Chunin Exams!"

With hope rekindled, Naruto Uzumaki jumped up and down with joy.

Sakura also breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Being able to continue participating in the Chunin Exams would certainly be the best outcome!

"Since Jiang Cheng is willing to replace Sasuke, then you should hurry up and get in. I will handle the application and registration. Well then, good luck!"

After saying hello, Kakashi disappeared in a puff of white smoke!

"Jiang Cheng, we really owe you a lot this time. Sasuke is such an unreliable guy. It's one thing for him to be disqualified from the exam, but he almost got me and Sakura into trouble too!"

Naruto Uzumaki laughed loudly, his eyes filled with excitement.

[Fugaku Uchiha: That brat! You were the one who betrayed Sasuke, and now you're saying Sasuke is unreliable?! How despicable!]

[Minato Namikaze: Ahem~ Fugaku, you're wrong to say that. There are security cameras there. Even if Naruto doesn't say anything, Sasuke will eventually find out!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Get lost! He's your son, of course you're protecting him!]

[Minato Namikaze: No, I was just stating the facts!]

[Fugaku Uchiha: My poor Sasuke, it seems his Chunin promotion speed will be six months slower than others!]

Jiang Cheng: "Don't worry, your son might become the next eternal genin after Might Guy!"

[Uchiha Fugaku: ...]

[Might Guy: I think being a genin is pretty good. I walk the dog every day, sweep the streets, and help out the elderly living alone in the village. I don't have to do any high-risk missions. It's safe and comfortable!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Is this your reason for remaining a perpetual genin?]

[Matt Day: That's right!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: What a lack of ambition!]

[Matt Day: ...]

[Minato Namikaze: Speaking of perennial genin, I do know a very powerful ninja. Although he's also a genin, his true strength far surpasses that of a typical jonin!]

[Tobirama Senju: Fourth Hokage, is the person you're talking about also a ninja from our Hidden Leaf Village?]

[Minato Namikaze: That's right, also from Konoha!]

[Tobirama Senju: Who is it?]

[Minato Namikaze: The Second Hokage should also know him; his name is Kosuke!]
