Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

With that, Sasuke leaped into the forest, followed closely by Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karin.

"Damn it! Chase after them!"

How could they let Naruto Uzumaki go so easily? The group immediately chased after the direction Naruto had fled.

However, others realized they had no chance of catching up with Naruto, so they gave up the chase and began searching for the badges.

A minute later, Naruto glanced back and saw no one there. He asked Kurama if anyone was around, and after receiving a "no," Naruto breathed a sigh of relief...

After Hagoromo Otsutsuki spoke with Kurama, Kurama, while not acknowledging Naruto Uzumaki, was noticeably more agreeable. At least he wouldn't deliberately trip him up and would offer some help.

The speed gradually decreased, and Sakura and Ino were hidden in the dense canopy.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Something's wrong." Ino raised her hand, showing the minor burns, and said, "My hand... not only hurts a lot, but it almost dislocated."

To be honest, Naruto's previous movement speed was simply outrageous. Her vision was always blurry, and she couldn't see her surroundings clearly at all.

How did Naruto manage to see the road?

Ino thought to herself.

Naruto in his One-Tailed form would require dynamic vision at least at the level of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to see his movements...

"Does it hurt a lot? Let me treat you!"

As she spoke, a green light shone from Sakura's hand.

"Sakura, how come your hands are alright?" Ino looked at Sakura's slightly red hands, which looked like they had been scalded by hot water for a while but had no visible marks, and then looked at her own "scarred" hands, expressing her confusion.

What's going on?! Naruto, are you discriminating against me?!

"I guess it's because I have protective gear!" Sakura said.

After all, she had been practicing superhuman strength recently, so she naturally had to be careful to protect her hands when punching rocks.

"Is that so..." Ino's lips twitched slightly. I feel like I'm the weakest of the three people here.

"Alright." Ino withdrew her hand, which had regained its fair and supple appearance.

"How long are we going to stay here?" Ino asked after examining her hands for a moment.

"Let's rest for a while, then we'll go to the forest exit and ambush them."

Fortunately, the forest had an entrance and exit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use this tactic.

"Alright then." Sakura and Ino recalled that in the last Chunin Exams, they were the ones being ambushed, but this time, it was the other way around.

This should be considered progress, right?

During his rest time, Naruto's expression would change from time to time. After the shadow clones disappeared, his memories returned, letting him know some information, most of which was useless.

As for the enemy's ninjutsu...

Naruto said there were too many people to remember them all.

His motto is that miracles happen with sheer force; he has so much chakra that he can throw Rasengan around like it's free.

"Let's go."

After their rest, Naruto, Sakura, and Ino headed towards the forest exit.

at the same time……

"Suiyue."

Sasuke uttered a slightly cold voice, and a certain child, baring his teeth, stepped forward carrying a large sword.

"Hi, hi, hi..."

His tone was one of helplessness and displeasure as he defeated the three grass ninjas single-handedly, then taunted, "So weak!"

"Do you have a badge?" Sasuke asked.

"No," Shuiyue replied.

“The little bird told me it had seen the badge.” Jugo’s voice drew the attention of the other three.

"You can talk to him?" Shuiyue looked surprised.

"I guess so!" Jugo's answer was ambiguous.

"Really amazing?" Shuiyue praised in a questioning tone.

"Jugo, lead the way." Sasuke skipped the conversation and immediately ordered, "Karin, watch your surroundings."

"Yes." Karin nodded slightly. She hadn't yet developed the tomboyish personality she would later become; she was still quite gentle.

The group began to move.

As for the puppet team controlled by Kaguya and the others, they headed straight for the forest exit, having no intention of searching for the badges in the forest at all.

Hydrangea and the others were diligently searching for the badges, defeating all the enemies they encountered along the way. After half a month of intensive training, the three of them had significantly improved their strength...

Among the test takers today, only a few can pose a threat to them.

Compared to the teams that are doing quite well, the other teams are in a worse situation.

Not only did they fail to find the badge, but they also frequently encountered enemies.

The enemy I encounter most often is someone's shadow clone...

It can create thousands of shadow clones at once, and ensure that each shadow clone has a considerable amount of chakra and a certain combat power.

Many people were thinking to themselves, "What an outrageous guy."

Simultaneously use various clone techniques to speed up the search for the badge.

The examinees in the forest were working on their papers, while the audience in the stands were watching with great interest.

Many viewers praised Naruto for creating thousands of clones at once.

The ninjas were marveling at how terrifying Naruto's chakra reserves were and how outrageous his physique was. They were equally astonished by his subsequent movement speed.

Most people in the know can associate that orange-red chakra with tailed beasts.

"Minato, look... Naruto is amazing!"

“Indeed.” Minato nodded slightly; it was the first time he had seen shadow clones used in this way.

After all, the senses of a shadow clone are transmitted back to the original body. Ordinary people like Naruto, who use shadow clones like this, simply have no chance of resisting it...

"It seems the training plan needs to be changed."

Minato muttered to himself, silently revising Naruto's training methods.

With such a good physique, it's natural to make good use of it...

Meanwhile, ninjas from other villages were also mentally planning their own training programs based on the performance of their own genin.

Those who perform well should naturally be nurtured diligently...

Those who perform poorly must practice more...

Chapter 267 Exhibition Match

About half an hour later, all the badges in the forest had been found, and the exam was coming to an end. All the teams of examinees rushed towards the forest exit, and a chaotic battle between the teams ensued...

Naruto's team, which had the most badges, was not ganged up on because Naruto had already demonstrated his strength, defeating all the teams in just a few dozen seconds by himself when they attacked from all sides.

After that, apart from some foolish teams with poor intelligence gathering and analysis abilities, the other teams did not provoke Naruto Uzumaki.

Just as Naruto was about to leave the forest, the team without badges could no longer hold back and launched a full-scale attack on Naruto, attempting to steal the badges.

As fellow villagers, they naturally helped each other, and some teams with badges joined the battle.

A massive melee ensued...

Of course, there were also teams that lacked a sense of camaraderie, ignoring the other teams in their village and bypassing the battlefield to head towards the exit.

"Ban, you said..."

"How many teams will be left after this chaotic battle?"

In response to Hashirama's question, Madara replied, "If Naruto were a little more ruthless, there would be at most three teams left, three teams from Konoha."

There's a reason why the Nine-Tails is called the strongest tailed beast.

Consider Jiraiya, one of the renowned Legendary Sannin, whose strength was undoubtedly Kage-level, yet he was brutally beaten by the Nine-Tails with four tails and severely injured.

Now consider Orochimaru, also one of the renowned Legendary Sannin, whose strength is undoubtedly Kage-level. However, when facing the Nine-Tails with its four tails, he was at a disadvantage and was severely beaten by the Nine-Tails.

Then there's Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki. With the Rinnegan, he was stronger than the previous two, perhaps even above the Kage level, yet he still couldn't defeat Kurama.

Even if Naruto Uzumaki couldn't unleash the full power of the Nine-Tails, how much power would he need to deal with some genin?

"Is it……"

Hashirama smiled: "It seems you think so too."

Naruto's actions did not seem to indicate an intention to annihilate all enemies; rather, he was repelling the enemy and escorting his teammates to the exit.

"Tch~" Uchiha Madara curled his lip.

They could easily defeat the enemy, but they were unwilling to use more force to completely incapacitate the enemy.

Just like someone else...

Despite possessing the power to conquer the entire ninja world, he was stopped by some trivial matters...

This is really... annoying!!!

Fifteen minutes later, the second exam ended, and the candidates went to the hospital for medical checkups. The third exam was scheduled for two weeks later...

According to the original plan, the third exam was an individual competition, a one-on-one battle, until only one person remained.

However, Fang Rui found it boring, so he switched to battle royale mode and started a free-for-all.

The ultimate winner was Kaguya… the puppet she controlled.

All the examinees were defeated by Hagoromo, Hamura, and Black Zetsu, and then the three of them put on a great show for the audience with their superb acting skills, and then...

Kaguya became the winner.

Kaguya: "..."
