Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Chapter 91 Tattoo

Losing to Naruto isn't a big deal; Sasuke's already used to it.

Sasuke calmly asked, "What's next?"

"The scrolls have been collected, and we can head to the tower anytime, but before that—"

Naruto pointed at Sasuke's cursed seal and asked, "How do you feel about the power of the cursed seal? Do you need me to get rid of it for you?"

After much deliberation, Sasuke chose to hold back—although he still couldn't defeat Naruto, he could clearly feel the enhancement the cursed seal provided to him.

"Come out with me for a moment."

Naruto brought Sasuke to a surveillance camera's viewpoint, activated his Rinnegan, used the Human Path technique, and extracted Orochimaru's soul fragment from the cursed seal.

Orochimaru's phantom emerged, exclaiming in shock, "The Rinnegan?! Naruto Uzumaki, it really was you—"

Naruto ignored Orochimaru's nonsense and used Uka-Mitama to crush the soul fragments into pure soul energy—then used Kamiko-Murakure to give life to the cursed seal.

The cursed seal came to life and obeyed Naruto's commands.

"Congratulations, Sasuke, for becoming the first ninja in the ninja world to enter the tattoo era."

As he spoke, Naruto manually drew out the curse seal, slightly altered its shape, and reattached it to Sasuke's arm.

However, the exam went smoothly over the next four days without any major problems.

A total of twenty-four people successfully passed the exam.

The twelve Konoha ninja, three from Kirigakure, three from Otogakure, three from Inazuma, and three from Sunagakure.

Led by Red Bean, the group left the tower in the Death Forest and arrived at a spacious competition venue.

"Lord Hokage, is this how Konoha treats its guests? You forcibly stole our Sand Village's ninja tools and techniques—"

On the adjacent stands, Maki was leering at the Third Hokage.

He already knew what happened in the Forest of Death: Temari was robbed of everything by the son of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

The Third Hokage, with a pipe in his mouth, took a puff before slowly saying, "That was a bit excessive. Don't worry, I'll definitely talk to him when we get back."

Something is wrong!

Something's very wrong!

Based on past experience, at this point—in order to win over Sunagakure—the Third Hokage should take the initiative to apologize and offer to return the ninja.

It should be tools and ninjutsu.

Maki's mind raced, and he tentatively asked, "Could you return our Samsung fan first? We need it for the temari match later."

The third generation pondered for a moment and said, "Well—I'll send someone to ask."

One of the secret agents received orders to leave, but soon returned with a reply of refusal.

Maki said with a hint of anger, "You're the Hokage, can't you make a decision?"

The Third Hokage sighed, "Alas, to be honest, the Hokage is not omnipotent, nor can he act independently. He must consider the opinions of his subordinates more often."

He rambled on and on, spouting a bunch of nonsense; it was clearly just a perfunctory response.

After finishing his speech about the third generation, he went to give his opening remarks for the third round of exams, leaving Maki with a grim expression.

Konoha, do they already know about Sunagakure's plan?

"Before the next match, let me say a few words—"

"I'd like to add two more points—"

"I have two points to add next —"

-

Finally, I'd like to say two things—

The three generations of rambling on and on, as if they were going to talk until tomorrow.

"Such a powerful hypnotic effect—"

Naruto yawned, feeling drowsy, as if he were dreaming back to his past life when he was taking advanced mathematics class.

The others also looked impatient. If the old man hadn't been the Hokage, some of them might have already rushed over and beaten him up.

That's when the Warriors appeared.

"Lord Hokage, cough cough—please forgive my rudeness."

Gekko Hayate knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Please leave the rest to me, Gekko Hayate, who will make the final decision. Ahem—"

"————Alright then."

Just as the three generations were getting into the conversation, they paused, glanced deeply at Moonlight Gale, and nodded in agreement.

Moonlight Gale turned around, coughing as he introduced himself.

Before the official competition, a preliminary round is required to eliminate half of the participants, followed by one-on-one sparring. Anyone who feels unwell can raise their hand to withdraw.

After a short wait, no one left.

Moonlight Gale announces the start of the match.

Please look at the big screen—Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kankuro.

"Why fight this monster? There's no way we can win. He's even more terrifying than Gaara—"

Kankuro, inwardly groaning, looked at Naruto and saw Naruto grinning menacingly, making a throat-slitting gesture at him.

"I abstain!"

Kankuro immediately raised his hands in surrender. Gekko Hayate was taken aback and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Kankuro nodded repeatedly; he didn't want to fight that monster, people would die.

Gaara coldly replied, "Useless!"

Kankuro's face was filled with resentment. "If I'm trash, what are you? You lost to him too—"

Temari comforted him, "Kankuro, you did the right thing. We are indeed no match for him. Admitting defeat is a wise move. Besides, don't forget our goal—"

Execute the Konoha Crush Plan!

Temari, who initially felt some reluctance, has become more determined after Naruto's robbery—this despicable village must be destroyed.

"This is boring, I'm not scared at all—so why did I even participate in the Chunin Exams?"

From the stands, Naruto's slightly confused voice reached Fu Hua's ears.

Fu Hua tilted her head: "This—wasn't this what you wanted to do?"

"It seems so, but it also seems not."

Naruto didn't experience any of the thrill of playing dumb to outsmart others, probably because his nature wasn't like Sasuke's, who enjoyed showing off.

Yes, it is like that.

Da da da————

The little girl Hanabi, wearing wooden clogs, approached Naruto and angrily pointed at him, saying, "Hey, you bad guy, how could you flirt with other women like that? How could you do this to my sister?"

"I've done nothing wrong, what have I done to apologize for? — Here, sister-in-law, don't think too much, have a lollipop."

To prevent the little girl from pestering him, Naruto took a lollipop out of his pocket, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

"Ugh—I don't want it—Hmm? Banana milk flavor!"

Hanabi stopped struggling, happily licking her lollipop. She glanced at Naruto and scoffed, "Don't think you can bribe me with this. Tell me honestly, what's your relationship with her?"

"Can't a lollipop shut you up?"

Naruto rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought, and then took out two more lollipops and stuffed them into the little girl's mouth.

Finally, they stuffed the little girl's mouth full, and she sobbed, unable to speak.

stare!

stare!

One gaze held a hint of reproach, the other was cold and indifferent—both eyes simultaneously turned to Naruto.

Hinata and Hiashi witnessed Naruto bullying Hanabi.

Naruto's expression remained unchanged: "Look at Hanabi, she's eating so happily—"

"Waaaaah—Sister, Father, he's bullying me—"

Hyuga Natsu pulled the lollipop out of Hanabi's mouth, and Hanabi could no longer hold back her tears. She threw herself into Hinata's arms and accused Naruto of his brutality.
