Saiyans in the Naruto world

"Konoha has never been afraid of trouble. If you dare to make a move, we'll crush you. I order that anyone who dares to cause trouble be executed immediately."

These words shocked everyone present. The ninjas, whether in the open or in the shadows, looked at Carrot with eyes full of anger and hatred.

"Yes, Lord Carrot."

A member of the Anbu ninja accepted the order. The Hokage's orders were far too weak; he hadn't considered that strict decrees were necessary to control a group of executioners.

"Oh, by the way, you have to pay for the cup you broke earlier, you know?"

"Yes, Jonin Hatake. I will compensate you for the cost. Thank you for your trouble."

Carrot was extremely satisfied with the Cloud Ninja's attitude and patted him on the shoulder to show he understood. This pat had a significant effect; the Cloud Ninja Jonin immediately collapsed to the ground. Carrot's hand hung suspended in mid-air.

"Hey, are you trying to scam me? I don't have any money for you."

"No, no, it's because my legs are numb and I can't stand steadily. It has nothing to do with Jonin Hatake."

This Cloud Ninja Jonin's only truly tough thing is his mouth.

"That's good, everyone should be my witnesses."

Carrot is innocent and should not be tainted by any false accusation.

"The rest is up to you. If there are any who are disobedient and you can't handle them, come to me. I want to see who's so stubborn and unafraid of death."

"Carrot gave the order," he said, then picked up the package and left.

Chapter 59 The exam is over

Inside the Hokage Building, Danzo, a working-class man with bandages wrapped around his neck, spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen, that Karot is so impressive, he gave the order on behalf of you, the Hokage."

Danzo brazenly stirred up trouble in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi. The pressure from Karot was immense, and he desperately needed to deflate Karot's arrogance.

"Alright, Danzo, Karot did this for the good of the village. The other ninja villages have been too lenient. They need to be taught a lesson."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained completely still, like a meditating monk, offering no reaction whatsoever. Karot's power was now unshakeable, and he could no longer be suppressed; even his own Hokage position was about to be handed over. Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, still wanted to step down with dignity.

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen."

Seeing that Hiruzen had no intention of cooperating with him, Danzo could only offer empty words.

"Danzo, put away your petty thoughts, otherwise you might still have a chance to retain power."

Hiruzen Yuan Fei advised Danzo, "Karot and Orochimaru are both intolerant of injustice. If you sabotage them now, they will kill you when they gain power."

In fact, Hiruzen Yuan Fei was wrong. Karot wanted to kill Danzo right now.

At this moment, on his way home, Carrot was suddenly surrounded by three ninjas.

"Hatake Karot, prepare to die!"

Without many words, their purpose was clear from the start: to take Carrot's life. Carrot never imagined that one day he would be hunted down by his enemies. It seemed he hadn't done enough, failing to ensure his family's safe return to the Pure Land.

Carrot then emitted three wisps of air from his fingers.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

The three ninjas died before they could even attack Karot. Not even their bodies remained, only three small craters.

"Who is it? It must be Danzo."

The question flashed through Carrot's mind for less than a second before he found the culprit. In short, who was the most corrupt person in Konoha? It was definitely Danzo, the "working-class" Danzo. Whether the blame was his or not, just pin it on him. Anyway, one more or one less thing wouldn't affect Danzo's image. (And thank you, Danzo's confession.)

Dealing with these three obstacles didn't affect Carrot's mood; after all, you can't stop others from courting disaster.

Karot's orders, endorsed by Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, resulted in the execution of several troublemakers. This demonstrated Konoha's iron-fisted stance to the ninjas of other villages, calming those who intended to cause trouble. Konoha's security improved.

The Chunin Exams were just around the corner. Karot wasn't interested in the first and second rounds, so he didn't bother watching and just stayed home as a shut-in.

Carrot didn't appear in front of the public until the third exam.

"Is that Konoha's Red Demon? He's just a kid, doesn't seem like anything special."

A ninja watching the match from the stands remarked, especially those from Sand and Iwagakure. Since Karot wasn't on their battlefield, they assumed he was a genius promoted by Konoha, and their attention was only due to his father being known as "Konoha's White Fang." The ninjas from Cloud and Mist villages gave them a look of pitying disapproval. Didn't they know the three rules of the martial world: children, women, and the elderly should not be underestimated?

The competition officially began. After explaining the rules to the ninjas, Karot emphasized that there could be no casualties. These were all elites from their respective villages, coming to Konoha to compete out of respect. If you couldn't even protect their personal safety, then Konoha would lose all face. This was also why Hiruzen Sarutobi had Karot in charge of the competition; Karot was strong enough to prevent the examinees from becoming bloodthirsty. Outside of Konoha, their fighting to the death was no longer Konoha's concern.

The first match is between the Mistkage and the Rockkage. The Mistkage is represented by Mei Terumi.

Upon seeing the two appear, Carrot already knew the outcome of the battle. Both of them were stronger than Chunin, and were undoubtedly potential ninjas who would seize this opportunity to make a name for themselves.

As Carrot predicted, Mei Terumi defeated Kumokage thanks to her own bloodline limit. Before leaving the arena, she didn't forget to give Carrot a provocative look, not forgetting Carrot's exorbitant demands during the negotiations.

The second match was between Konoha ninjas and Cloud ninjas. When the Konoha ninjas appeared, Carrot noticed that they did not have any clan insignia.

"Hmm? A commoner? Not bad!"

To be able to enter the third exam as an ordinary citizen shows considerable talent.

The Cloud Ninja examinee's aura was much stronger than that of the Leaf Ninja examinee. His strength was almost at the Jonin level. After more than ten rounds of fighting, the Leaf Ninja had been knocked to the ground and had no ability to resist. However, the Cloud Ninja did not give up. Instead, he took a kunai and rushed towards the unconscious Leaf Ninja.

Upon seeing this scene, Carrot instantly rushed in front of the Cloud Ninja, pinched a kunai between two fingers, and coldly spoke to the Cloud Ninja.

"Didn't you hear my rules? No death is allowed, or are you going to challenge my rules?"

As he finished speaking, a faint but palpable killing intent emanated from Karot. The Cloud Ninja sensed this killing intent as well, instantly snapping out of his killing frenzy. Having participated in the Third Shinobi World War, he had witnessed firsthand the ruthlessness of this man. His body was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Weakened, he collapsed to his knees before Karot with a thud. It was a Cloud Ninja who helped him away.

Carrot announced that the Cloud Ninja had won the second match. The third and fourth matches then concluded. This time, it was a familiar face again: Uchiha Izumi, whose opponent was a Kirigakure ninja.

The two fought fiercely, evenly matched, until Uchiha Izumi used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the Kirigakure's fatal blow. This looked familiar to Carrot; it resembled Shisui's style. Shisui, a veteran of the Kirigakure battlefield, knew the fighting methods of the Kirigakure ninja inside and out. Out of respect for his admirer, Uchiha Itachi, he taught it to his "good friend," Uchiha Izumi. Uchiha Izumi narrowly won, but a wound on his body bled profusely.

Finally, the last match arrived: Itachi Uchiha versus the Sand Ninja. This match was completely uninteresting; the Sand Ninja was suppressed by Itachi throughout and easily defeated. Aside from some mental issues, the Uchiha clan's talent is undeniably admirable.

Konoha had three members from the Uchiha clan become Jonin this time—you read that right, three. There was also Obito Uchiha. He won the match in a comical fashion. After being trained by Madara Uchiha, Obito has already reached Jonin level. Once he awakens his Mangekyou Sharingan, he'll be a Kage-level ninja. It's uncertain if he'll have another chance. If Rin hadn't died, it's unknown if Obito would have awakened his Sharingan.

Carrot's career as an examiner came to a perfect end. After standing there being stared at like a monkey all day, Carrot vowed never to do that kind of work again.

Chapter 60 Teaming up with Minato

With all the ninjas leaving Konoha, the fervor surrounding the Chunin Exams began to wane. However, things weren't so easy for Karot.

Hyuga Sanada, a close friend, sent a wedding invitation, specifically requesting that Karot be his best man. He then proceeded to torment Karot. Karot, of course, couldn't be left to suffer alone, so he called his junior, Uchiha Shisui, for help. Since it was a branch family wedding, Sanada's ceremony wasn't very grand, only inviting close friends and relatives. Because Sanada's parents had died in battle years earlier, Matsushita Hokuto was chosen to represent the elders. His relationship with Sanada was that of both teacher and friend, making him the perfect choice. This was a pity for Matsushita, who remained single, even though his disciple was married. Karot helped him greet the guests. Shisui was relegated to the role of a mere doorman.

"Lord Orochimaru has arrived."

Zhishui did a very good job as a doorman.

Orochimaru was followed by Kabuto carrying gifts as he entered.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru. Please have a seat."

Carrot knew Orochimaru was only there because of him. Carrot was also very happy to be able to ensure his friend's wedding was a success.

Carotra brought Sanada over to offer a toast.

"Lord Sakumo Hatake has arrived."

Another important figure has arrived, which greatly surprised the relatives and friends who came to attend Sanada's wedding. Sanada actually has such great influence that even the legendary Sannin Orochimaru and Sakumo-sama have come.

"Father, you've come too."

"It's your friend's wedding, so of course I have to come and have a drink. And when else, Carrot?"

Carrot was deeply embarrassed; this was truly inappropriate and inconsiderate pressure to get married. He fled in a disheveled state.

Then came even more exciting news: the Hokage himself was coming, completely pushing the wedding to its climax. Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige in Konoha was currently at its peak; riding the wave of victory in the great war, he truly deserved the title of Hokage.

Sanada was overjoyed to see that even the Hokage had come to his wedding. However, he also knew that it was because of Karot's influence.

"Thank you, Carrot."

Sanada sincerely thanked Carrot. He had only intended to host a few tables, but Carrot slapped him in the face with the money, lecturing him, "Money's no object."

"If you want to thank me, just give me all the gift money later!"

"Never mind then, pretend I didn't say anything."

"Hahaha."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

After the guests left, Carrot collapsed into his chair. He'd never been this tired from training, let alone Shisui, whose mouth was hoarse from shouting.

Matsushita Hokuto was alright; he just served as a mascot. Kazuko stayed with the bride the whole time.

"Getting married is so tiring, I'm never getting married again."

"Carrot complained."

"How can you think like that at such a young age? Isn't it good to have a loving companion when you get married?"

"I can't believe it," Matsushita Hokuto countered.

"And what about you, teacher? You're quite old too."

Carrot's decisive strike utterly routed Matsushita Hokuto, leaving him speechless.

"Alright, Carrot, stop making fun of your teacher."

At this moment, Kazuko came out to plead for Matsushita Hokuto.

"The teachers have been going on blind dates lately."
