Narration system starting from Konoha

The ANBU ninja, carrying the red copper armor and sword, disappeared into the forest.

In the dim forest, a sharp blade flashed, and before the ANBU ninja could react, a sword pierced his heart from behind.

Orochimaru emerged from the shadows with a playful expression, his fair face radiating amusement.

"What a useless piece of trash."

Kenmei slowly opened his eyes, only to be greeted by a sharp longsword and a huge wound on his throat that could not be closed.

Orochimaru slowly disappeared, and the three figures were swallowed by the mud, their whereabouts unknown.

In the towering primeval forest, the four found a relatively secluded cave and rested quietly.

Sasuke's limping gait severely slowed down the team.

Sakura was heartbroken to see Sasuke's injuries and tried several times to carry him on her back, but was refused each time.

"It seems our team needs a medical ninja. Getting injured on missions will be commonplace in the future, and without a teammate who knows medical ninjutsu, things will only get more and more complicated," Sora said.

Sakura secretly vowed that after the Chunin Exams, she would learn medical ninjutsu; she never wanted to be called a burden to the team by the narrator or anyone else again.

"It seems Sakura is starting to realize something and is finally showing some ambition."

The weakened Orochimaru gradually approaches the location of Team 7. This time, Orochimaru does not intend to attack head-on, but instead launches a sneak attack, leaving a mark on Sasuke.

The entire Team 7 was shocked, but Orochimaru was likely to be disappointed. The spot he wanted to bite was protected by a steel ring, and if he bit down, it would definitely break his molars.

Orochimaru remained completely unmoved, easily disarming himself with a single steel ring.

Sakura was still waiting for the Anbu medical ninja, unaware that the Anbu members who went to report had been killed by Orochimaru, including two spies, and had all disappeared without a trace.

"Heh, I never expected that the legendary Sannin Orochimaru would repeatedly cause trouble for us newly graduated ninjas."

"Shh."

A kunai flashed past, heading straight for the eyes of the hollow metal mask.

The empty head tilted slightly to one side, dodging the kunai's attack. At that moment, two pythons shot out from the dark forest.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"

One opened its mouth wide and bit at the unprotected area of ​​his thigh, while the other wrapped around his body.

Kong only had time to lower his arms and pierce one of the snake hands with his spikes. The other snake hand instantly wrapped around his body and moved through the gaps between the spikes.

At the same time, countless venomous snakes rushed out, heading straight for Naruto and Sakura.

Along with that came Orochimaru's long neck and head, his face grim, heading straight for the terrified Sasuke.

"Full of bromance."

An invisible needle pierced Orochimaru's neck in an instant and disappeared.

Sasuke, with a hint of fear in his eyes, quickly retreated, but his injured thigh was not very flexible, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

Orochimaru, who was originally going to bite Sasuke's neck, instead stuck to Sasuke's face, and their lips met.

"vomit."

In an instant, Sasuke began to gag; Orochimaru was truly disgusting to him.

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then quickly slid his neck around Sasuke's neck and bit down on his shoulder.

As a ninja who had experienced many wars, this was the first time Orochimaru had such close contact with someone of the same sex, but he forgot about it completely in an instant.

So-called emotions, ethics, companionship, and bonds are all stumbling blocks on the path of science. In Orochimaru's heart, scientific research always comes first.

Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. Why? Why wasn't it him? Last time it was Naruto, and this time it's Orochimaru. When will it be Sakura's turn?

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. The repeated kisses with Sasuke had left a shadow in his heart; finally, it was someone else's turn.

[All I can do is sigh, it seems Sasuke is destined to be unlucky with women in this life; all the people he's close to are of the same sex. Fate is truly unpredictable.]

"Sasuke-kun, I look forward to our next meeting. If you want the power to take revenge, then do your best in this Chunin Exams."

Just as Orochimaru's long neck was about to retract, a black smoke bomb landed in the cave passage and detonated.

"Boom."

A black mist filled with a pungent stench enveloped the entire cave, and the Shadow Serpent Hand ran even faster than it had come.

Kong didn't stop at all, ran out of the cave, and vomited profusely.

Chapter Fifty-Six Rain Ninja

Sakura and Naruto ran out with Uchiha Sora, vomiting profusely.

Outside the cave, Orochimaru was nowhere to be seen. It seemed he had left in a hurry, without even having time to cover up any obvious traces.

It'll probably pop out a little later.

"Ku, what are you using? Ugh... Did you bring Konoha's latrine here? Ugh..."

Sakura vomited and screamed, almost throwing up her intestines. As soon as she stopped, the pungent smell rushed into her brain, making her feel like she was in heaven and hell.

Naruto was lying on the ground, his eyes rolled back, and his body was covered in filth.

The stench spread from the cave outwards, and even from a distance, the nauseating odor could be smelled.

"This is my latest top-secret weapon. The reason Orochimaru retreated last time was because he couldn't stand this smell."

"Being reeked is better than being killed. I heard Orochimaru likes to use human heads as sake cups. You don't want us to use sake cups made from your head as offerings to you in the future, do you?"

Sakura felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of the scene. Suddenly, she felt something was missing and looked into the cave.

A scream echoed through the Death Forest:

"Sasuke!!!"

Sora only felt a gust of wind flash by, and Sakura had disappeared and appeared in the cave. She didn't even care about the stench in the cave and picked up Sasuke.

"Sasuke is fine. He's probably just having trouble moving around and got choked unconscious," Uchiha Sora said.

[He's getting a bit tired. He has to worry about one or two kids at a time, acting as both father and mother. Who's really the lazy one here?]

"Let's go, the cave smells too bad. Let's find another place so they can rest for a while."

Sora lifts Naruto up, while Sakura hugs Sasuke.

Sakura was incredibly excited. She was finally able to get close to Sasuke. This time, she wouldn't let go of him unless he woke up. Sakura planned to take advantage of any moment when Sasuke wasn't looking to kiss her a few more times and make up for all the previous kisses.

“Your thoughts are dangerous. I will keep a close watch on you and will never let you tarnish Sasuke’s innocence.”

If Sakura weren't outmatched, she would have absolutely beaten Uchiha Ku to a pulp.

"Don't think about such nonsense anymore. You should be grateful that you have such a strong teammate as me. Otherwise, you would be left with two unconscious burdens in Class 7."

"Those two are not a burden."

[Ku is shameless. Sakura feels that Uchiha Ku is the real culprit. If it weren't for his ridiculous smoke bomb research, Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't have fainted.]

[I feel like Sakura is just an ignorant little brat. Her understanding of Orochimaru is still based on ninja games. Orochimaru wouldn't kill Naruto and Sasuke, but a useless girl like Sakura could probably kill him with a snap of her fingers.]

Sakura was speechless. This wasn't the first time she had felt like a burden to Team 7. She used to call Sora a lazy bum, and Sora had turned the tide several times.

[Kong was speechless. He had two burdens to carry, and now he had to listen to an ignorant young girl lamenting about life.]

Sakura looked at Uchiha Sora with resentment in her eyes.

As dusk settled, the thick, ancient trees cast countless shadows, making the Death Forest even more eerie. Coupled with the occasional howl of a ferocious beast, it was a scene straight out of a horror movie.

"Sora, Sasuke's body is starting to get hot."

Sora touched Sasuke's forehead and said, "Orochimaru is so unhygienic. He didn't even brush his teeth before biting. It might be a bacterial infection."

Sasuke won't die. Let's find a place to rest and get some food and water.

The two found a relatively dry tree hollow and put Naruto and Sasuke inside.

A ball of fire rose into the sky, and after removing all the steel equipment from my body, I felt instantly relaxed.

Carrying dozens of kilograms of weight for a whole day and going through multiple battles, Uchiha Sora didn't collapse from exhaustion, which is already considered to be a testament to his good physical condition.

"Kong, wouldn't a campfire be too conspicuous? Many rules we learned at the Ninja Academy taught us that open flames not only attract wild animals, but also easily expose our position to the enemy."

"The foundation is solid, but how can we attract the enemy without starting a fire? We don't have the Heavenly Scroll yet. And this is also slowing down our progress."

Those who are quick enough have probably already collected all the scrolls and entered the tower.

“But Naruto and Sasuke are unconscious now. Can the two of us handle a three-person team? There are many powerful opponents in this exam.”

"Just take good care of Naruto and Sasuke. I'll take care of the rest. Let me make some arrangements first."

After a short rest, Kong got up and set up the traps. The outermost layer was smoke bombs, followed by detonating smoke bombs, and a poison gas bomb was buried closest to the fire.

He then leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Time passed slowly, and the forest gradually quieted down, with only the occasional bird calls adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Sora's eyes suddenly narrowed a crack as he used the system space to identify the enemy: a group of Rain Ninja.

Three uninvited guests arrived in the quiet forest. They originally intended to assassinate someone at close range, but their whereabouts were exposed by the narrator.

[Uchiha Sora, who had been pretending to be asleep, could only open his eyes and look at the enemy. Sora was somewhat surprised. Didn't the narrator say that the Rain Ninja would die at Gaara's hands? How did they end up here?]

Naruto, who had been unconscious, also woke up, but he was dizzy and had been choked by the stench, so he was temporarily unable to move.

[Three teams of ninja from the Rain Village came in total. Gaara only killed the strongest team. The narrator knows the past and future, so please do not question the narrator's deductions.]

Hehe, what an arrogant system.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this the arrogant Uchiha Sora from before? I never thought you'd end up like this."

I remember that Konoha has a rule that only three people in a four-person team can participate in the battle.

Two are lying down now, clearly they both participated in the fight. The woman can't participate in the fight, otherwise we'll file a complaint.

[Kong was speechless. Didn't the narrator say that the Rain Ninja were skilled in assassination? Does that mean that being hesitant and indecisive is the Rain Ninja's assassination technique?]

"You're asking for death, kid. Hand over your scrolls, or you'll only face death."

The Rain Ninja are prepared. Even if they get the scroll, they will break Uchiha Sora's limbs and cripple him. They all remember how arrogant Uchiha Sora was during the written test.
