The Guardian Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: Chakra is gathered in the palms and strengthened into needles. The hands are quickly swung to create a semi-circular "Return to Heaven" that will shatter any objects that get close. It is a defensive technique that uses defense as offense.

"Admiring the host every day, I have received the reward [Flame Bullet]."

Fireball: Summons a spherical flame from a scroll to attack enemies.

Then, he glanced at Gaara without making a sound, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

He has now far surpassed Gaara; the ceiling for genin has changed.

Clang!

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.

"That's enough, all of you go back to your seats."

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket and with a scar on his face walked in.

"I am the examiner for your first exam—Ibiki Morino."

"The first test is a written exam."

Ibiki Morino placed a stack of papers on the table and said in a deep voice:

"Now, hand in your application, take your number, and return to your seat."

"Pen, written test~"

Naruto nearly collapsed after hearing the exam content.

And so the first exam began.

While hundreds of ninjas in the classroom were struggling with this, Neji simply turned the test paper upside down on the table.

Since this exam paper is completely useless, why bother with it? Knowing everything was going to happen, he wasn't worried at all.

Just as Neji was relaxing and cultivating his mind, the examination hall erupted in chaos, with all sorts of methods being used, each displaying their unique abilities.

Sasuke was so angry that he awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan.

Yes, that's right. Seeing others writing so scribbling away, Sasuke felt that the reputation of his Uchiha clan was being greatly challenged.

With a growing number of rivals emerging lately, and Naruto almost catching up to him, he found it even more unbearable.

As a result, in a moment of passion, my blood boiled, and my eyes turned red.

Sasuke glanced in Neji's direction and said confidently, "I can definitely defeat you."

If Neji knew what Sasuke was thinking, he would definitely say disdainfully, "Foolish Sasuke, you know nothing about power."

Time passed slowly, and the peak of this exam finally arrived.

Ibiki Morino skillfully employed his interrogation techniques. Under immense mental pressure, many people tremblingly raised their hands and left the scene one after another.

Everyone was engaged in a fierce internal struggle, but Neji remained completely unfazed throughout the entire scene.

Ibiki Morino secretly admired Neji, who remained calm and composed.

As expected of a genius from the Hyuga clan, he's really steady.

"Snapped!"

Naruto slammed his hand on the table again, once again demonstrating the power of his talk-no-jutsu.

As a result, even those who were initially inclined to give up were infected by the enthusiasm and impulsively chose to answer, thus passing the exam in a daze.

call out!

Ibiki Morino looked out and saw a pebble break a third-floor window, and Anko Mitarashi jumped right in.

Ibiki Morino said helplessly, "I mean, you should at least be a little more mindful of the occasion."

Neji's eyes lit up as he looked at Mitarashi Anko on the stage. She was Orochimaru's disciple, and he could learn some of Orochimaru's ninjutsu from her.

Neji's lips curled slightly, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Oh wow, so many people are still left? Ibiki, your methods aren't working."

Mitarashi Anko glanced at everyone and said with a smile.

Ibiki shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it, the genin this time are all pretty good."

Mitarashi Anko laughed heartily: "In that case, I'll eliminate the other half of the people for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. They wanted to eliminate half the people again?!

Ignoring the murmurs below, Mitarashi Anko waved her hand and said:

"I am the examiner for your second exam, Mitarashi Anko."

"There's no time for you to dawdle. Now, everyone, head to the second assessment point."

After everyone left, Ibiki Morino started tidying up the papers. When he saw Naruto's blank paper, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Naruto Uzumaki, how interesting."

However, when he saw Neji's test paper, his face immediately turned ashen, and he wished he could slap himself.

I just praised him!

puff!

I, Morino Ibiki, have spent years interrogating people and studying psychology, yet I was defeated by a mere brat. I'm so angry!

Before long, the group arrived at the Forest of Death to begin the second test.

Mitarashi Anko looked at the genin behind her and waved her hand, saying, "The second test will be simple and brutal."

“Each of you will receive one of the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, and your goal is to collect all the Heaven and Earth Scrolls within five days and then reach the tower in the center of the Death Forest.”

"By the way, the number of Heaven and Earth Scrolls is equal," Mitarashi Anko said with a strange smile.

"So does that mean half of us are going to be eliminated?"

"No, no, no..." Mitarashi Anko shook her fingers. "Who knows?"

Mitarashi Anko excitedly explained the rules of the exam, but Neji's attention was completely elsewhere.

Right now, there's a Kage-level ruthless person hiding here. Neji glanced cautiously in the direction of the three Grass Ninja out of the corner of his eye, carefully investigating.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru's sensitivity to chakra was extraordinary, and he quickly realized that someone was watching him, but he didn't know who had discovered him.

"I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly." Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled eerily.

"Now, things are getting more and more interesting."

Chapter 24 This is destiny

Soon, Neji and the others received their own scrolls, which were scrolls of heaven.

"Neji, you should keep this." Tenten said.

All three of them are quite strong, but Neji is the strongest. Moreover, the Hyuga clan's taijutsu is both offensive and defensive, so it is undoubtedly the safest place for Neji to keep the scroll.

"Okay, let's go then."

The three of them then entered the Forest of Death.

"We have five days to reach the tower and obtain the Earth Scroll from other teams."

Tian Tian rubbed his forehead. The Death Forest is huge, and time is a bit tight.

"Don't worry," Neji said. "They'll bring it to us on their own."

"What? Neji, are you still half asleep?"

"Since the ultimate destination is the tower, why should we bother going to find them?"

"Oh!" Xiao Li tapped his hand, suddenly realizing.

"I see, so all we need to do is lie in ambush at the tower," Tian Tian said.

“Yes,” Neji said.

"In that case, let's hurry up and set up an ambush at the tower. I can't wait to fight those powerful figures," said Xiao Li.

"As expected of Neji," Tenten said.

At this moment, Neji suddenly stopped and turned his head to say, "Tenten, Lee, you two go to the tower and wait for me."

After saying that, Neji disappeared without a trace, leaving the two of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the Forest of Death, Neji leaped about, constantly searching for Naruto and the others.

"Strange, they definitely came in from this direction, so where did they go?"

boom!

A violent explosion resounded through the sky, and instantly a plume of black smoke rose into the air.

Seeing this, Neji had an idea and immediately and cautiously headed towards that place.

The closer they got, the more intense the heat became. Neji could even clearly sense an extremely turbulent chakra.

A moment later, Neji arrived there, but the smoke obscured his view, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Blind eyes!"

After activating his Byakugan, Neji finally saw the battle situation clearly. Naruto was exhausted, and it seemed that the Nine-Tails' power had been sealed.

Sasuke, on the other hand, fought Orochimaru to a standstill thanks to his Sharingan.

"As expected of the Sharingan, I'm becoming more and more interested in your body, Sasuke."

Orochimaru then made his signature face-licking gesture, which disgusted Sasuke. Remembering how he had just been so frightened by this disgusting person that he dared not move, Sasuke became even more furious.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The symphony of kunai clashing rang out, sparks flying everywhere. Gradually, Sasuke mastered Orochimaru's movements, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"I've already seen through your moves."

Sasuke spun his kunai, gripped it tightly, and swiftly slashed down at Orochimaru.

With a series of clanging sounds and no clear exchange, Orochimaru gradually began to play on the defensive.
