In addition, Kakashi trained in the Hatake family's swordsmanship for half a year, joined another team to carry out a mission, and performed exceptionally well, which made the Hatake brothers' reputation spread rapidly throughout Konoha.

Previously, the title "Konoha Twins" was only known within the Ninja Academy, but as the brothers began to distinguish themselves, the title was also accepted by the ninjas of Konoha.

Just as Carrot was training in his own training ground, an eagle suddenly circled overhead.

"Is another mission coming up?"

Carrot quickly packed up and headed to their usual meeting place.

"Matsushita-sensei, what kind of mission do you have this time?"

When Carrot arrived, the other three were waiting for him.

"No, this is not a mission."

Matsushita Hokuto shook his head.

"If this isn't a mission, why did you gather us here?"

Carrot was filled with doubt.

"Because this matter concerns you, and we are a team, both of them came to support you."

Seeing the three of them smiling, Carrot became even more puzzled.

"I won't lie to you, it's the Chunin Exams."

"Oh."

Carrot looked like he suddenly understood, "Oh, that's what it is!" Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was the only genin in the entire team.

"The reason for this gathering is to ask you if you would like to participate."

"Matsushita-sensei, aren't the Chunin Exams conducted in teams?"

"Teams can participate, individuals can participate, since it's all individual combat in the end, so either is allowed."

"Alright then! I'll participate."

Seeing that Carrot had agreed, Hinata said.

"You'd better be careful, you'll definitely be targeted if you're alone with your team."

After a year of getting to know each other, the team members have developed a very harmonious relationship.

"This is the intelligence I obtained; you can take a look."

The Hyuga are a large clan in Konoha and have their own methods for gathering information.

As soon as Carrot received the information from Hyuga, Miwako gave him a large bag of healing supplies for the wounded.

"I can't help you with anything else, and I hope this won't be of any use to you."

Because Carrot often needs Miwako's help, the two get along somewhat like siblings.

Matsushita was overjoyed to see how loving his students were.

Back home, Karot saw Kakashi, the mission fanatic. Because of Karot, Kakashi tried his best to catch up with Karot's back, hoping not to fall too far behind.

When Carrot saw that Carrot was at home this time, he realized it was for the Chunin Exams.

Kakashi watched as Karot carried large bags and small packages, because Karot had gone shopping.

"This is the treatment for those who participated in the Chunin Exams, and this is medicine for injuries."

Without hesitation, Karot shared what he had acquired with Kakashi.

How did you get these things?

Kakashi asked.

"It's all because your brother is so kind; it was a gift from my teammates. Didn't your teammates give you any?"

Karot said smugly, not forgetting to mock Kakashi.

"Hmph, I don't need it."

"Oh, you don't need that? How about I give you some water so you can become the youngest Chunin in Konoha?"

"I don't know why, but I really enjoy seeing Kakashi get bullied; I find it hilarious," Karot said, ruffling Kakashi's hair. Perhaps that's just the rule of the Naruto world: brother complex.

"unnecessary."

Kakashi shook off Karot's movement and said in a calm tone.

"I will defeat you in the Ninja Exams and prove my strength to become the youngest Chunin."

Perhaps the trials of the past year made Kakashi arrogant, leading him to believe that he had surpassed his older brother.

"Is that so? I hope you don't run into me during the matches again. Otherwise, it'll just be a Chunin's one-day trip."

As the older brother, I have a responsibility and obligation to help my younger brother face reality.

"cut."

Kakashi felt a pang of heaviness at the mention of Karot. After a year of studying the Hatake swordsmanship, Kakashi felt confident he could fight Karot. However, he was unaware that the Hatake swordsmanship in Sakumo's hands was completely different from that in Kakashi's.

The next morning, the two brothers arrived at the examination venue early. This was no different from the Chunin Exams that Karot remembered; both started with a written test.

However, no ninja from other villages participated; it was all from their own village. This was probably due to the Fourth Shinobi World War; they were afraid of being unable to defend themselves and suffering injuries or even death. After all, the ninjas who could participate in the Chunin Exams were the apple of their village's eye, and losing any of them would be a huge loss.

Chapter 16 Different Rules

The first part was a written test.

Carrot looked at the test paper in his hand. He recognized every word, but he didn't know the answers to the questions.

For Carrot, who had only attended classes for a week and spent most of his time sleeping, this was undoubtedly a difficult situation. He wanted to hand in a blank paper like Naruto Uzumaki, but he wasn't the chosen one and dared not. Getting a zero wouldn't be good either; Kakashi would laugh at him for the rest of his life.

"Host, do you need any help?"

Look, this is timely rain; after the darkest hour comes the dawn.

"want."

Simple and easy to modify

With the theoretical advantage of the system, Carrot wrote furiously, aiming to get just enough passing grades. Otherwise, he'd easily become arrogant, and more importantly, he'd feel embarrassed to accept his achievements.

As expected, everyone passed the written test, since not every ninja asked for leave.

Just as everyone was celebrating passing their first exam, the classroom door was pulled open from the outside.

Then, a man with long hair, a pale face, and an unapproachable demeanor walked in.

Upon seeing this person, the entire classroom fell silent, because everyone recognized him. He was none other than Orochimaru, one of the three great disciples of the Hokage, also known as "Cold-hearted Lord." Anyone who was targeted by him felt as if they were being targeted by a highly venomous snake.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'll leave the second exam to you."

The Jonin in charge of the first exam bowed to Orochimaru and spoke with utmost respect.

Orochimaru during this period was a hero of Konoha, having saved the lives of many fellow village ninjas on the battlefield and earning great respect.

"I never expected that he would be in charge of the second exam."

Carrot thought to himself, "It seems the Third Hokage values ​​Orochimaru highly and is paving the way for him."

Orochimaru seemed to sense Karot's gaze and glanced in Karot's direction.

"Such keen senses, Orochimaru."

"No one was eliminated. It seems the exam was too easy. But it doesn't matter. After my assessment, there won't be more than ten left."

Orochimaru's words put immense pressure on the examinees, as none of the ninjas who came to participate in the assessment wanted to be eliminated.

Orochimaru was not only renowned for his power but also for his ruthless and cold-blooded methods. His words filled the genin with anxiety about the upcoming exams.

"Anyone who sets off for the second test location and fails to arrive within ten minutes will be considered to have automatically forfeited their exam."

After saying that, Orochimaru turned into white mist with a "bang" and disappeared in front of everyone.

The genin then headed to the Forest of Death, the location of the second exam. Karot didn't rush, and along the way, he bought a few skewers of dumplings. He tasted them, but they were too sweet. He couldn't understand why the Naruto characters liked to eat them so much.

When Carrot arrived at the Death Forest, he wasn't the last one. About a third of the people weren't on time.

"Boom."

Leng Jun makes his appearance. Without further ado.

"Now, I will announce the rules for the second assessment: the top ten. The top ten will reach the central tower and pass the assessment."

The simple rules are truly baffling, especially since previous assessments involved finding the "Book of Heaven and Earth." This time, the rules are straightforward: it all comes down to who reaches the central tower first.

These seemingly simple rules only allow the top ten to pass, while the remaining fifty-odd ninjas are eliminated. Who would be willing to accept that?

One can imagine that the battles that would ensue would be extremely fierce. Anyone could be your opponent, and teammates would no longer be a reliable support.

"Psychic art."

Orochimaru bit his thumb, then formed a hand seal and slammed it to the ground.

"Boom."

Three enormous snakes appeared on the ground, each as tall as a three-story building. The ninjas on the ground looked like lambs to the slaughter.

"To make this assessment a little more interesting, you can see I've put in a lot of effort. I might get injured, so please don't let my efforts go to waste."
