Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 25 Uchiha Itachi, you certainly didn't disappoint.

People tend to have low expectations of bad people.

Even if this villain only did a good deed by chance, it would change people's attitudes towards him. Kabuto Yakushi believes that Akihara Kagura is not a completely cold-blooded child.

This is a kind-hearted boy.

Kagura Akihara, who had always harbored resentment towards him and Yakushi Nonou, was willing to tell him important news about the headmaster. Perhaps the boy's murderous intent wasn't that strong; he had simply been blinded by jealousy and hatred all along.

Kabuto thought for a moment and decided to extend his goodwill: "I've gathered some information about the Chunin Exams. The first written exam will most likely be conducted under the supervision of proctors, testing the candidates' criminal investigation and intelligence gathering abilities..."

"What a coincidence."

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face. "I don't seem to be very good at gathering information, so this written test looks like it might be a bit difficult for me..."

"So..."

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and said softly, "Then, may I help you with something small?"

"..."

Akihara Kagura's smile immediately deepened.

If you truly want to help someone who deserves it, you must respect that person and not offer help from a superior position.

Kabuto Yakushi is a man who truly understands human relationships and social dynamics.

but…

There is another set of rules for interpersonal relationships.

If someone owes you a huge favor, it's best not to ask them for even a small favor. This creates a situation where quantity is exchanged for quality, and neither of you will ultimately be satisfied.

"I don't need it."

Akihara Kagura's expression suddenly turned cold.

The boy refused Kabuto's offer, saying coldly, "I can handle this small matter myself. Go to Iwagakure and carry out the mission Lord Danzo assigned you!"

"it is good."

Kabuto slowly nodded.

Kagura Akihara stroked her chin, gazing back at the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant in the distance: "I wonder how long it takes Kakashi-senpai Hatake to eat at Ichiraku Ramen..."

"..."

Kabuto and Yakushi turned around together, puzzled.

The entrance area for the Chunin Exams.

The room where the first written test was held was very large.

A group of genin were chatting idly in this place.

As everyone present chatted, their eyes would inevitably drift to a figure in the corner—a very handsome young man.

Uchiha Itachi.

Most of the eyes in the room were on him.

The genin examinees present were all more or less older than Uchiha Itachi, and they were all a little unhappy to see this ten-year-old kid in the examination room. In addition, this child came from the Uchiha clan, which the villagers hated and feared the most.

"A genius of the Uchiha clan..."

"I heard that kid is going to take the exam alone?"

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan has always been arrogant. It's normal for them to think they can pass the Chunin Exams on their own. Kid, you're really arrogant..."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi stood quietly in place.

Despite being only a ten-year-old boy, Itachi Uchiha showed more patience than the older genin; he seemed to be able to stand there quietly forever.

Even though people around him were talking about him, he didn't care at all, as if he couldn't hear anything and didn't care about other people's opinions.

Clang!

The room door suddenly cracked open!

As the door was kicked down, the room fell silent instantly. A white-haired figure strode into the room, his tone clearly impatient!

"It's so noisy!"

"Your room is the noisiest in the whole building!"

"..."

The group of genin immediately fell silent, too terrified to utter a sound.

Because the newcomer was wearing a green Konoha Jonin uniform, he wasn't someone they, as Genin, could casually discuss or insult.

even…

Many genin recognized his identity.

Kakashi Hatake, a renowned genius Jonin in the village, is said to have graduated from the academy at the age of five, become a Chunin at the age of six, and a Jonin at the age of twelve.

In the ninja world, he is mostly known as the cold-blooded Kakashi or Sharingan Kakashi. In terms of both fame and strength, Kakashi Hatake far surpasses the other Jonin in the village.

"The first exam of the Chunin Exams has been moved to a different exam room."

The Jonin waved his hand at them, looking impatient, and said, "You can leave now. Go to the Hokage Building and check the latest announcement."

"What?!"

Why was the exam venue suddenly changed?

"We weren't notified in advance!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

The Konoha Jonin coldly silenced the group of noisy Genin, his eyes clearly showing contempt: "This is the Hokage's order. This place is to be used as a meeting room for an allies meeting. Are you going to let your Genin exams delay such an important matter for the village?"

"..."

The genin present were seething with anger, but dared not utter a sound.

"Kakashi-senpai..."

Two adults stepped forward.

These two adults were responsible for assisting with the written exam of the Chunin Exams. They were not Genin, but Chunin who had infiltrated the Genin ranks.

After all, the first written test mainly tests the genin's reconnaissance and intelligence gathering abilities. The two chunin will impersonate genin during the test and write down the correct answers to all the questions, providing the intelligence gathered by the genin.

"The Chunin who were responsible for assisting with the written exam have all reported to the new exam venue!"

Kakashi Hatake's expression was full of impatience, as if he had seen through their identities at a glance, but he did not expose them. He continued loudly, "Alright, let's hurry up and go. Don't be late for the new exam room. This place needs to be cleared immediately for the Konoha Allies Meeting."

"..."

The group of genin could only silently leave in a group.

When they left, they didn't even see any Chunin maintaining order around them, so it seemed that this really wasn't the written exam venue for the Chunin Exams.

These genin had no choice but to obediently head to the Hokage Building to see the new exam venue announcement.

No one noticed that in a small attic on the stairs, two Chunin responsible for maintaining order were lying unconscious, staggering about.

The entrance area of ​​the entire written examination room quickly became empty.

Kakashi Hatake glanced around, his gaze settling on Itachi Uchiha, the only one who hadn't moved: "Hmm? Kid, why aren't you in the new exam hall?"

"What new exam venue?"

Itachi Uchiha slowly raised his head, but the gentleness of his youth was gone from his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why did you deceive them into going to the new examination hall?"

"Isn't that incredibly rude to your senior?"

Kakashi Hatake stretched, seemingly displeased: "Kid, even if you're a genius of the Uchiha clan, shouldn't you at least show some respect to your seniors?"

"The senior Jonin in the village wouldn't be as rude as you..."

Itachi Uchiha reached for his ninja tool pouch, shook his head, and said, "The Chunin Exams are a major event for the village, and it's unlikely that we'll change the exam venue just before the exams begin."

"Most importantly..."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes faintly glowed red, and his voice gradually became serious: "Although your transformation technique is very skillful, under the gaze of the Sharingan..."

"Tsk..."

Kakashi Hatake's figure instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.

A young boy revealed his true form, a smile playing on his lips: "Hello, Uchiha Itachi. Danzo-sama was right, you certainly didn't disappoint me..."
