It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

"Yes, Lord Xutong."

Zhi Xue: ... (You didn't hear a thing, did you?)

Seeing Zhixue's somewhat dark complexion, Ziyanghua quickly changed her form of address. The main reason was that the Akatsuki organization was a high-ranking organization that brought peace and productivity to Amegakure and even the entire Land of Rain. Although most common people only knew about gods and angels, she still admired these people. Because they were both from the Akatsuki organization, Ziyanghua subconsciously placed Zhixue in the same category as her master, who was called "Angel Lord".

"Alright, I don't have any rules. From now on, we'll be teammates. Let me first give you a detailed introduction of myself."

Seeing the curious look in the hydrangea's eyes, Zhixue also spoke up.

"Xuan Tong is skilled in illusion techniques, eye techniques, and fire release, and knows a little bit of water release and swordsmanship."

"Hydrangea is skilled in unsealing techniques and summoning techniques similar to summoning tools. Please feel free to ask if you need anything, Senior Hollow Eye!"

Stop Snow: ...

Looking at the respectful hydrangeas before her, Zhixue felt somewhat ashamed.

Can't you just omit the suffix? (Annoyed)

After they teamed up, at Zhixue's request, the team, which was originally supposed to be three people, was reduced to two.

Two people are just right. If there are too many people, it will reduce their mobility, since their goal is not really to participate in the Chunin Exams.

After setting off, Zhixue waved goodbye to Xiaonan and left Amegakure for a while before turning her gaze to Ziyanghua, who was walking behind her.

Seeing Zhixue staring at her intently, Ziyanghua's little face also blushed.

"Lord Xu Tong, is there a problem?"

"Ahem, actually it's nothing, just remember to stick close behind me after we enter Konoha and don't fall behind. Also, take this with you." Zhi Xue took out a Sunagakure headband from her pocket and put it in Zi Yang Hua's hand.

Ziyanghua was also taken aback when she saw the headband in her hand.

This pattern... seems to be from Sunagakure. Could it be to better conceal their identity, so that if they are exposed, they can draw attention to Sunagakure? As expected of Lord Hollow Eye.

After carefully placing the headband in her ninja tool pouch and using it as a base, Zhixue chatted with Ziyanghua on the way.

Zhi Xue actually quite liked this little girl who was even more peaceful than herself. Although she didn't know how she died later, it wouldn't be difficult for her to save her once.

Just a few days after Zhixue set off, Sunagakure, Kusagakure, and Otogakure also sent their genin who were participating in the Chunin Exams to converge on Konoha. Meanwhile, Orochimaru was in the western part of the Land of Fire, preparing to meet with Rasa and have a heart-to-heart talk with him, believing that Rasa would not have the heart to refuse.

Chapter 215, Barbecue Restaurant

Because she was going to Konoha to take an exam, Zhixue slightly modified her appearance so that the people of Konoha would not recognize her.

"How about filling in 'Purple Eyes' as the name? That'll be your older sister." Zhi Xue asked Zi Yang Hua, looking at her disguise in the mirror.

"Ah, if Lord Xutong is willing, of course."

He smiled as he looked at the cute girl sitting in the distance, wearing a black and brown trench coat and with two black pigtails.

"Then it's settled. Remember to follow me closely after entering Konoha." Zhi Xue stood up from her chair and turned to say to Zi Yang Hua.

"Yes, Lord Xutong."

After Zhixue set off, it took him nearly three days to arrive at Konoha.

After showing the Chunin Exam certificate and seal to the two gatekeepers of Konoha, Zhixue and Ziyanghua arrived at this peaceful village.

Looking at the lush greenery and the noisy sounds of the streets, the hydrangea curiously observed everything around it.

This place seems quite different from Amegakure. There are no towering steel pipes and iron towers, no continuous raindrops and gloomy skies, only fresh air and vibrant life on the streets.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Zhixue took out 2000 taels of silver from her pocket, looked at Ziyanghua and said, "Alright, we've arrived in Konoha. Let's find a shop to rest for a bit. We're one of the early arrivals for the Chunin Exams."

Ziyanghua nodded to Zhixue, and after the two rented a shop, Zhixue handed a black stick to Ziyanghua.

Inside the wooden room, Ziyanghua looked at the black stick in her hand with some confusion.

Was this pulled off from Lord Camille?

"Keep this safe. If you encounter any emergencies, remember to transfer chakra into it. I can sense it."

"Ming, I understand!"

After explaining a few things to Ziyanghua, Zhixue bid farewell to the place.

It's been so long. Now that we're back in Konoha, let's go have a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen first, and then go see Sasuke and Nii-san.

"Six years have passed... I wonder how they are doing now..." Zhi Xue walked towards Yi Le Noodle Shop according to her memory. The area she passed through was indeed a little different from what she remembered, but it didn't matter much.

Just as Zhixue stopped outside Ichiraku Ramen, she looked at the four seats inside and found them already full and felt a little distressed.

"Looks like the place is already full."

"Yeah, if it's full, it looks like we'll have to eat somewhere else." Hearing Kakashi's voice, Zhixue quickly looked behind her and saw that Kakashi was looking at Ichiraku Ramen with some regret, while the three little ones around him were also a bit angry.

"No way, Kakashi-sensei clearly said he would treat us."

"Since Ichiraku Ramen is full, why don't we go next door for some yakiniku (grilled meat)? It feels like it's been ages since I've had it." Naruto said excitedly, just thinking about the sizzling oil on the grill.

"Oh, eating too much oily food might cause pimples..."

Kakashi looked somewhat embarrassed after hearing Naruto's suggestion.

Sigh, with Naruto's appetite, it looks like his wallet won't be able to fill up for a while if they eat barbecue...

"If you're going to eat barbecue... want to join us? I heard there's a discount for a four-person platter." Kakashi was also taken aback when he saw the twin-tailed little girl who suddenly walked up to him with one hand on her hip.

Five minutes later... watching the sizzling oil on the grill and smelling the aroma of grilled meat in the air, Naruto was also very excited.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, you've finally shown some generosity, haven't you, fellow forum members?"

Kakashi:......

Saying that makes me seem stingy... If he hadn't become a Jonin leader and been doing C-rank and D-rank missions all the time, he wouldn't be so poor.

Lost in his thoughts, Kakashi turned his gaze to Zhixue, who was reading a book across from him.

This decor doesn't seem like something a local would do...

"Little sister, are you also one of those preparing to participate in the Chunin Exams?" Kakashi asked Shiki, who seemed engrossed in watching.

"Ah, I guess so. I'm a genin from Amegakure, and I'm here to become a chunin. Since I'm new to the area, I need to make some friends." Shiyu put down the comic and smiled at Kakashi.

I can't believe how much has changed in six years. Kakashi, who used to work so hard, seems to have transformed into a kindred spirit who has come to terms with things. And Sasuke has grown to be almost as tall as her now. It feels like just yesterday he was a cute little boy who loved to play with her. Ah, that's life...

"Is that so?" Kakashi looked at Zhixue in front of him. For some reason, he felt that this guy seemed a little familiar.

"What Chunin Exams?" Naruto, who was always oblivious and ranked last in academics, scratched his head in confusion when he heard the words "Chunin Exams."

"The Chunin Exams were a system invented by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, as a means for neighboring great nations to conduct friendly exchanges," Sakura explained when she heard Naruto's question, then secretly glanced at Sasuke.

At this moment, Sasuke, just like Kakashi, kept staring at Zhixue in front of him.

Why does it feel so strangely familiar?

"Why are you all looking at me?" Zhixue asked, looking somewhat confused as she felt their gazes.

Could it be that her disguise has a flaw? That's impossible.

"Ahem, it's nothing," Kakashi said awkwardly, looking away.

Perhaps the girl in front of me only has a similar temperament to the people I've met in my memory?

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, can we also participate in the Chunin Exams, buddy?" Naruto stood up from his chair and excitedly asked Kakashi.

That's a Chunin! If he successfully advances to the rank of Hokage, he'll be one step closer to becoming Hokage.

Kakashi:......

Although Sasuke didn't say anything, he actually shared the same thoughts as Naruto.

The Chunin Exams? It seems it's time to let the ninjas from other villages experience the crushing power of the Uchiha clan's genius. He's determined to win this exam!

Looking at Erzhuzi's slightly upturned lips from across the table, Zhixue felt a little regretful.

Poor Sasuke, it's a pity this isn't your home turf. I hope you don't run into Gaara during your exams...

Watching her two disciples fight, Zhixue wasn't feeling too good. And judging from the current situation, Gaara was really strong enough to make Sasuke's own mother unrecognizable.

Chapter 216, The Chunin Exams Begin

In the barbecue restaurant, Zhi Xue ate the barbecue, and the incredibly delicious, crisp, and tender taste made her feel happy.

A shop that dares to open near Ichiraku Otsutsuki is definitely something special.

While Kakashi's team was still discussing the Chunin Exams, Shiyuki interrupted them.

Wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, Zhixue smiled at the group and said, "If you're going to participate in the Chunin Exams, you'd better go easy on me, a ninja who's not very strong."

"Don't worry, I, Naruto Uzumaki, would never bully a girl!"

Seeing Naruto still full of energy, attracting everyone's attention in the barbecue restaurant, Kakashi couldn't help but facepalm and pull him down.

Having such a carefree, hot-blooded idiot in the team is quite a troublesome thing.

After talking with the three people in the shop for a while, Zhixue learned about the Chunin Exams. When she heard that the examiner for the third round was Uchiha Shisui, Zhixue's pupils dilated slightly. Kakashi noticed this subtle change and was puzzled.

Has the fanbase for Shisui of the Flicker Body or the heroes of Konoha already spread overseas?

After finishing her barbecue, Zhixue used the excuse of wanting to see other parts of Konoha to leave.

"Is my brother actually the proctor for the third round of the Chunin Exams? I wonder how he is now. Let's go see him..." Zhi Xue looked around, turned around and disappeared into the alley where the clutter was placed. When Zhi Xue reappeared, she was already in the police station.

Looking out from the big tree at Zhishui in the conference room, who seemed to be in relatively good spirits, Zhixue felt somewhat relieved.

It looks pretty good for now, at least. But there's no rush to say hello; let's talk about it during the Chunin Exams.

Zhixue turned around and disappeared using the first level of her ability, while Zhishui also seemed to sense something and looked at a tender branch outside the window that had lost a few leaves.

“It’s already autumn… This is the sixth year, isn’t it?” Zhi Shui pulled out a childhood photo of herself and Zhi Xue from her pocket, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Zhi Xue has not returned since he left after the last New Year. In the past six years, he has been to many places in the ninja world, but he has not found him. If it weren't for the white snake sent by Ryuchi Cave saying that Zhi Xue was still alive and well, he probably wouldn't be sitting here at ease.

"What is Zhixue doing right now...?"

Shisui pondered for a while, then shook his head regretfully.

Possessing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan should grant him unimpeded freedom in the ninja world. As someone tasked with protecting his village and clan, after searching for half a year without success, perhaps all he could do was pray for her…

After watching Shisui, Shiyuki wandered around Konoha, joining in the fun and observing the changes over the past six years. Unbeknownst to her, as time went by, more and more ninjas from other villages had entered Konoha.

One group of handsome, swaggering guys caught Zhixue's attention.
