I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Tobirama Senju]: Sarutobi did a bad job, but choosing you as the fourth generation is acceptable.

[Minato Namikaze]: Thank you for the compliment, Second Hokage.

【Might Guy】: Speaking of which, Kitahara Kaede and the others have already cleared the game.

[...Everyone...]: Huh!?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then everyone realized that they were all watching and chatting, while Kitahara Kaede's team had already brought Gaara to the destination of the second exam - the Central Tower.

The reason I say this is... Gaara was initially knocked unconscious by the slap, but he has now been shaken awake.

then……

Gaara was fed a soldier pill by Naruto, so he activated his Sasuke and flew directly over with everyone.

Flying is certainly faster than a ninja can run.

Because the Masaru is 5 meters off the ground, and it is 7 meters tall, that's 11 meters tall. It's huge, so the surrounding ninjas could only watch... and just watch as Gaara and the others floated past in this high-profile and arrogant way, heading towards the central tower.

······

“…” Mitarashi Azuko.

As the chief examiner, Mitarashi Anko naturally had to go directly to the central tower to prepare.

but.

“You guys are exaggerating too much,” Hongdou said.

As an examiner who had been in charge of the exams multiple times, she took a shortcut and, being a Jonin, moved very quickly. However, she had only just arrived when other examinees came over.

This is an exaggeration.

In the past, when she was the chief examiner, the fastest it took for candidates to get here was 5 hours.

But it's only been 2 hours and 02 minutes.

"Speaking of which... this..."

The examiner, Hongdou, looked up at the sky.

Gaara stood there, supported by a model of a woman made of solidified sand.

Hongdou felt that the child was not normal.

Gaara's behavior was indeed very strange.

He was like a mama's boy, sitting directly on his mother's hands, which were made of sand, and refusing to get down.

He lacked love growing up and always thought his mother didn't like him, only to find out... that he was the one his mother loved the most.

And so... I was instantly captivated.

This is how Gaara was driven mad, and this is how he's being calmed down.

He fell into absolute extremes.

Therefore, it is correct to call him a "mama's boy" now.

"what……"

"Is this what it feels like to have a mother...?"

"It turns out I've always been a happy person."

Gaara said.

But he was talking to the sand.

"..." Hongdou glanced at him twice and decided to give up communicating with him.

"So……"

Red Bean looked towards Kitahara Maple's team.

This is also Team 7, Kakashi's team.

Anko and Kakashi were in the same class, but Kakashi was a genius, so he graduated after only one day of study. To her, Kakashi was a relatively unfamiliar figure.

But as everyone knows, Kakashi is an elite.

and so……

Kitahara Kaede's team arrived in 2 hours and 02 minutes. Although there was a suspicion that they were taking advantage of Gaara's mother's Zou, they were able to arrive so quickly, which was also due to their own ability.

"Congratulations on passing the second exam."

Mitarashi Anko said.

Originally, the decision on whether to further reduce staff should be based on the number of people who completed the assessment.

However, Kitahara Kaede and his group arrived too quickly, and it would be impolite to make them conduct another assessment.

Therefore, Hongdou used the examiner's authority to pass Kitahara Kaede and the others' second exam.

Then Anko glanced at Hinata.

Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, has witnessed the rise of the Hyuga clan's power after the decline of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

So Hongdou does know this eldest daughter of the main family.

Hinata was also the first person she encountered in her career as an examiner to choose an individual or a team during the Death Forest exam.

And she did it.

However, Anko doesn't believe that Hinata just benefited from Gaara's mother's Zou.

Because... if they had just come by clinging to someone's leg, Hinata might have died when she first met up with Kitahara Kaede and the others.

The Hyuga clan has always been a coveted bloodline limit for ninjas from other villages.

Therefore, Hinata's ability to hold out and wait for backup demonstrates that she possesses sufficient strength.

"but……"

“If Gaara from Sunagakure arrives alone… then he cannot be deemed to have passed the test,” Anko said sternly.

After all, Gaara has teammates, but you are the only one who arrived, and you don't have the Book of Heaven and Earth, so you are not qualified.

"Wait a moment!"

At that moment, a sound came from outside.

Hongdou looked over and saw two figures rush in with two loud bangs. One of them immediately knelt on the ground, pressing his hands to the ground and breathing heavily.

The other one took down the huge fan behind him and pressed his fingers on it while panting.

This shows that both of them were rushing desperately on their way, and were exhausted and out of breath.

This is... Temari, Kankuro, from Sunagakure.

At first, they chased Kitahara Kaede relentlessly.

And then... just when we almost caught up and were about to see him... we discovered that Gaara had changed drastically!

Behind Gaara, the image of their mother was formed from sand.

The scene was so bizarre that the two of them were stunned.

But soon, they discovered that Kitahara Kaede and the others were actually standing with Gaara. Then, Gaara drove the giant sand mother towards the central tower like a porter.

So... the two of them had no time to think and could only chase after it desperately.

We finally arrived.

"This is... the Book of Heaven and Earth!"

Temari gasped for breath several times, then quickly took out the scroll.

"Okay." Hongdou conducted the inspection.

"You have also passed the exam."

Shortly after Temari and her group arrived, another group of people arrived.

"Our people from Kusagakure have arrived as well."

These are three Grass Ninja.

The leader was a tall man with a pale, somewhat sickly complexion and a middle-parted hairstyle. He gave off a subtle feeling.

This is Orochimaru, the Grass Ninja.

"We...Konoha...Konoha...Squad 33 has also arrived."

But from behind them, people from Konoha also arrived.

The team was led by an old man, and this old man was a living fossil of the ninja world - Maruboshi Kosuke, who had been a genin for 50 years!

Clearly, the Third Hokage had already discovered Orochimaru's identity, while the old man, Kosuke Maruboshi, had been closely following Orochimaru.

That's why they arrived one after the other.

···

"..."

Hongdou examined their scrolls one by one.

However, Orochimaru's Kusagakure produced the Heaven and Earth Scroll, but Maruboshi Kosuke's group failed to collect it completely, so they were disqualified from the exam.

Kosuke Maruboshi had no objection to this.

He was only there to monitor Orochimaru, not because he actually wanted to be promoted to Chunin.

"So……"

Suddenly, Kosuke Maruboshi clasped his hands together, and his two teammates beside him turned into smoke with a bang.

This means that his teammates were actually himself transformed.

He had no intention of taking the exam at all.

This scene is particularly unique.

"..."

But Orochimaru ignored him.

After all... for Orochimaru, Maruboshi Kosuke was nothing special; his target wasn't Maruboshi Kosuke, nor the Third Hokage.

But...

Orochimaru, the ninja from the Grass Ninja Sect, looked at the black-haired, golden-eyed boy who was talking to Sasuke and Naruto.

[It's been almost eight years, Kitahara Kaede.]

Orochimaru thought to himself.

After being expelled by the Third Hokage, he first joined the Akatsuki organization, then encountered Itachi Uchiha, and was defeated by Itachi's eyes. So he wanted to obtain the eyes of the Uchiha clan.

However, since the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the only option is Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

but.

Just as he was thinking about Uchiha Sasuke, he saw Kitahara Kaede activating Susanoo with one eye in the Forest of Death.

Kitahara Kaede was his most successful Wood Release experiment, which he left with the Third Hokage for many years. Now it's time to take him away.

This was the original idea.

However, he himself could not describe how powerful Wood Release was, but when he saw Kitahara Kaede activate Susanoo with one eye, he was convinced of it.

He wanted the Sharingan.

I want Kitahara Kaede's Sharingan.

So... if Kitahara Kaede can be considered the object of the Reanimation Jutsu... then wouldn't he have the Sharingan and Wood Release?

This is... a treasure!

·····

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Tobirama Senju]: Is this all the Orochimaru you're talking about? My mouth is watering.
