Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 165 Teacher, Long Time No See (First Update)
Bright sunlight dappled the leaves.

Today is clearly a fine day, and many residents of Konoha Village got up early.

They chatted and laughed as they headed toward the village's largest training ground, after all, today was the final competition of the Joint Chunin Exams!
“There are so many people.”

In the stands, Deidara looked at the dense crowd and immediately turned to look at Kitagawa Gen.

"Hey, you bastard, you're not going to run away today, are you?"

"How dare you accuse others of running around? Aren't you running around all day yourself?"

Before Kitagawa Gen could even speak, Kurotsuchi, who was standing next to Deidara, couldn't take it anymore.

"Putting aside the fact that you ran with the participating teams, you actually abandoned them afterward. That's going too far!"

"Tch, what's that compared to this guy? Hmm."

Deidara pursed his lips and looked at Kitagawa Gen with displeasure.

"That damn guy! He promised an art competition, but when something went wrong, he ran away faster than anyone else, keeping me indoors for a while now! Ugh!"

"Idiot, you're the one who's brainless and you're blaming me?"

Kitagawa Gen almost rolled his eyes. He leaned on the railing and looked down at the crowd with disdain.

"Your junior sister probably knows that the village would be under strict surveillance for such an important exam. You caused such a commotion and didn't even run away. Are you blaming me?"

"Ugh?"

Deidara was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and glanced at Kurotsuchi, who was covering his face and didn't want to talk. His face turned red for a moment.

"Damn it, I was just absorbed in art! Yeah, that must be it!"

"cut."

Kitagawa Gen was too lazy to answer him, but he still asked out of curiosity.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you going to the Tsuchikage's side?"

"It doesn't matter, I have free time now, I can do whatever I want."

Deidara replied nonchalantly, leaving Kurotsuchi speechless.

But at this moment, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but take a closer look at Kitagawa Gen.

She had heard this name before, both from Deidara and from her grandfather; it was a name that resonated deeply with her!
She had always been curious about who made her grandfather so vigilant, and who Deidara admired so much.

"His strength isn't clear yet, but Deidara said he can fight against Dust Release, so he must be really powerful. And he looks pretty cool too."

Heitu muttered to herself, but soon she felt a little depressed.

Deidara was so excited, pulling Kitagawa Gen around and asking him all sorts of questions, while Kitagawa Gen looked disgusted.

She remembered that when she looked for Deidara, he seemed to be in a similar situation.
"senior."

Before Kurotsuchi could figure it out, she suddenly saw a red-haired girl running over, while Kitagawa Gen looked up.

"Oh, it's Karin. How is she?"

"Senior, we've already checked, and we haven't found anything unusual in the venue yet."

Karin nodded, glanced at Deidara and Kurotsuchi beside her, and then spoke softly.

Karin is not participating in this Chunin Exams. She is currently training with Tsunade and also has a mission in this Chunin Exams.

Her sensory abilities are too strong, so Konoha will naturally let her make good use of them; this can be considered her 'Chunin Exam'.

"That's fine."

Kitagawa Gen smiled, and after thinking for a moment, he still offered a reminder.

"However, you should still pay attention to everything around you, and no matter what happens, don't be too surprised."

"what?"

"It's nothing, just relax and watch the game."

"Oh."

Karin didn't know what Kitagawa Gen meant, but in the end she still nodded obediently.

She then stopped thinking about it and focused her attention on the game.

This was the first time she had ever watched a competition like this.

On the high platform in the venue, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the people beside him with a big smile on his face.

"Everyone, it's truly a rare opportunity for us to get together."

"That's truly rare."

The Fourth Raikage glanced at the person beside him and sneered.

"I'm afraid only your Konoha has the courage and strength to bring everyone together."

"Yes."

Onoki laughed as well, especially when he saw the empty sleeve on the Fourth Raikage's left arm; his smile became even more pronounced.

"Konoha's strength is truly extraordinary."

"you"

The Fourth Raikage knew exactly what Onoki meant, but before he could say anything more, Onoki had already turned to look at the other two.

"It's a pity that the Fourth Mizukage didn't have the chance to come, but I heard that Kirigakure is recommending the Fifth Mizukage? Isn't he still very young?"

"."

Yuan Shi was quite shrewd; he just smiled awkwardly and ignored him, while Onoki continued to look at Rasa.

"Also, I heard that Sunagakure even sent their own Jinchūriki to the exam. Tsk tsk, they really are allies."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Ōnoki unleash his attacks from both sides, he could only quickly interrupt him.

"The competition is about to start, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Indeed, let's just enjoy the game."

Rasa nodded, but the Fourth Raikage still sneered.

"I just hope everything goes well today."

The Fourth Raikage's words silenced many in the room, as no one knew how things would turn out in such a situation.

"It seems I'm too late."

However, just as everyone was silent, a voice suddenly rang out.

Turning my head, I saw Danzo slowly walking up the platform.

"Danzo, you're here." Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't liked the heavy atmosphere just now either.

"I was worried you'd refuse if I invited you over."

"Such a grand occasion is hard for me to refuse."

Danzo Shimura shook his head, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a blank expression.

"Besides, didn't you want to talk to me? I think now is the perfect time."

On the high platform, all the wise men had gathered, while Jiraiya, Kakashi, Tsunade, and others were gathered around the railing below.

"Have all the necessary arrangements been made?"

Jiraiya asked in a low voice.

"Where's Yuan? Where did he go? Why didn't he come?"

"There it is."

Tsunade pointed to Kitagawa Gen, who was with Deidara not far away.

"That brat from Iwagakure is bothering him again. I really don't understand what's wrong with that kid."

"It seems to be something about art or not, I'm not sure."

Kakashi shook his head, then smiled and spoke.

"Yuan said it was because of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but that's fine too. That kid's destructive power is extraordinary, and he's close to Yuan."

"Perhaps it can influence some of Onoki's thoughts, after all, he is Onoki's beloved student."

Jiraiya, of course, knew what Kakashi was thinking, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"This kid has even learned Dust Release, it's unbelievable."

"Anyway, he's participating, Jiraiya-sama. How have your preparations been going this past month?"

Kakashi shook his head; he was somewhat curious about Naruto's situation.

"Naruto is pretty good. Although I still can't do anything about the two chakra within him, he has learned the Rasengan and the Summoning Jutsu that even Genji didn't learn."

When Naruto was mentioned, Jiraiya laughed, clearly quite satisfied with Naruto's performance. Kakashi also laughed upon hearing this.

"Not bad. I also taught Sasuke how to use the Sharingan, and he's learned Chidori. Maybe he can learn Genji's Purple Lightning in the future."

"Why do you two start by mentioning Kitagawa Gen?"

Tsunade looked at the two of them with amusement, which surprised them both.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. Perhaps they both subconsciously regarded Kitagawa Gen as a role model?

Just as they were chatting idly, Genma Shiranui began drawing lots according to the predetermined order.

The opponent in the first match.

Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga.

"Yay, I'm the first one!"

Naruto seemed exceptionally excited, but Neji Hyuga remained silent. He glanced at Naruto and then walked out.

"Be careful of Naruto, he's really strong."

Sakura muttered something to Naruto with some concern, but Sasuke glanced at Neji before speaking.

"Hey, idiot, don't embarrass yourself."

"Pshaw, there won't be any problems!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up and then headed towards the arena.

However, no one present noticed that Obito Uchiha's voice quietly appeared on the high floor above the players' rest area.

"What a grand occasion!"

"really."

Black Zetsu nodded beside him, then spoke in a low voice.

Orochimaru's Sound Village has already assigned tasks, and he has made considerable preparations.

It's hard to say what will happen to the other Kage, but the Fourth Raikage won't let this go easily.

Furthermore, Sunagakure brought their own Jinchūriki, which gives us an even better opportunity.

"That's right, it will be very interesting to see both tailed beasts unleash their power at the same time."

Obito Uchiha nodded, then looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

"I'd like to see how Kitagawa Gen will handle this, and whether Otsutsuki Genji will actually come!"

"yes."

Black Zetsu nodded upon hearing this, even though 'Otsutsuki Genshiki' had been unusually quiet during this period.

But the very existence of such a person is terrifying; he dares not slack off in the slightest!
"I'm also waiting to see if he'll show up."

"Alright, let's go. Let's catch one first."

"Hmm, we need to deal with the first tail first before we can handle the nine-tailed fox!"

Just as the two were making their move, Hiruzen Sarutobi was watching the battle between Naruto and Neji from the high platform.

Naruto, who has improved significantly, performed quite well. At least he wasn't overwhelmed by Neji; in fact, the situation was reversed!

"It's really interesting that they're sending a Jinchuriki into the first match."

However, at that moment, Danzo suddenly laughed.

"Not only that, even the One-Tailed Beast is here. I really don't know if you're too confident, or if Konoha's defenses are just too lax."

"Ok?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, but before he could finish speaking, he immediately sensed a different kind of chakra fluctuation!
This surge of chakra immediately made Rasa stand up, and he looked incredulously at the players' building not far away.

"That's... Shukaku's chakra, Gaara's."

"If you're not Danzo, then who are you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared indifferently at Danzo Shimura before him, seemingly having made a guess.

Danzo shook his head slightly, his face full of amusement.

"You've really gotten old, otherwise you wouldn't have failed to recognize me."

"Long time no see, teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more powerful burst of chakra erupted, and the One-Tailed Beast's roar resounded through the sky.
