I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

. . . . . .

Just as Shinji had predicted, early the next morning...

Maki brought genuine sincerity.

It indicates that the Kazekage has agreed and sent a message back last night, instructing people to prepare supplies to be transported to Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi was very grateful and asked for the transportation route, preparing to send someone to meet her.

Maki quickly said no, but Terumi Mei insisted.

Finally, having no other choice, they had to agree.

Delaying the process is impossible, and trying to fool people with fabricated supplies won't work either.

Maki had no choice but to hurry back, and after obtaining the Wind Shadow's permission, he sent another message back.

Maki's attempts to use tricks were repeatedly foiled, which made him realize how difficult the advisor named Akagi was to deal with.

However, after mentioning it, Fengying didn't take it to heart.

So what if they're difficult to deal with?

Even the most formidable strategist will die if stabbed.

Moreover, if one only focuses on these petty gains, their life's scope will remain the same, and they are not worth fearing at all.

Kazekage Rasa looked down at the entire Leaf Village with a triumphant air, then slowly clenched his fists as if he wanted to hold the whole Leaf Village in his hands.

Time passed quietly, and Konoha hadn't been this lively in a long time.

The joint Chunin Exams thus began.

During the first written exam, Shinji didn't go anywhere; he spent all his time eating, sleeping, and beating up Hidan.

Don't ask why Hidan got beaten up. He was just bored anyway, so he might as well get beaten up.

So much so that after Hidan got beaten up, he would go and beat up Tobi. But every time, Tobi would cry out in pain, while Hidan was the one who actually suffered.

This really annoyed Hidan.

So, for no apparent reason, he went to cause trouble for Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu didn't tolerate his bad habit either, so the two had a fierce fight.

One of them is immortal, and the other knows the art of water transformation, so there's no need to worry about them killing each other.

The problem is that the result is the same, but the process is completely different!

Every fight ended in a draw, and then Hidan would return covered in blood, while Hozuki Mangetsu, pale-faced, would chug his water...

This left Hidan speechless.

Why is it always him who gets hurt?

The results of the first written test came out quickly.

Half of the 170 people were eliminated...

"...I thought this was probably the end for us. Naruto, who knew nothing, handed in a blank paper. But luckily, the last question tested team cohesion, and that idiot Naruto passed it by accident."

Sasuke was rambling on and on about what happened during the written test to Shinji, completely unaware of why he, who was usually aloof, always felt a sense of closeness when facing Shinji, and was willing to tell him many things that were kept in his heart.

If Shinji were to answer this question, he would definitely say, "It's Sharingan Yupo. I have Sharingan Yupo hidden on my person."

There's no other way; this thing is a powerful cursed artifact formed from the souls of the entire Uchiha clan.

There must be some trace of Sasuke's parents in it, so it's normal to feel an instinctive sense of closeness.

Otherwise, given Sasuke's personality, he wouldn't talk so much, nor would he easily trust a stranger.

All I can say is that it's fate.

If Shinji hadn't gone to dig up that treasure map, he might not be in all this trouble today.

“I understand how you feel. When there’s an idiot teammate on your team, you always have to find a way to pay for the stupid things he does.”

As he spoke, Shinji raised his head listlessly, gazing in a certain direction.

Hidan, who was fighting Hozuki Mangetsu at that moment, couldn't help but shudder, and his attack immediately stopped. Hozuki Mangetsu seized the opportunity and used his twin swords, Hiramekarei, to smash Hidan's head repeatedly!

Meanwhile, on the other side, someone and Sasuke were still exchanging sympathetic glances, feeling a sense of mutual understanding because of the resonance they had just experienced.

That's right.

Even after twice leaving Sasuke in the hospital, Shinji showed no sympathy for him.

However, knowing that Sasuke had a troublesome, idiotic teammate, he showed a pitying look.

"Sigh, it's such a shame that you've had to suffer such pain at such a young age."

Shinji sighed, feeling a deep empathy for Hidan.

"Mr. Akagi really understands me."

"Call me 'Big Brother,' 'Sir' sounds a bit too formal." (It's "Big Brother," not "Older Brother," don't get it wrong.)

"Yes, Shinji... Big Brother."

Shinji suddenly felt that Erzhuzi seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"The next exam is scheduled for the day after tomorrow in the Death Forest?" Shinji suddenly asked, remembering something.

Sasuke nodded, puzzled.

"Since you call me 'big brother,' I'll give you a heads-up. This Chunin Exam might not be peaceful, so be careful and don't overexert yourself."

Because there were some things he couldn't tell Sasuke yet, Shinji only gave Sasuke a subtle hint.

However, Sasuke clearly did not understand his intention. Instead, he said confidently, "Kakashi-sensei is teaching me an extremely powerful ninjutsu. Once I learn it, I will definitely get first place in this Chunin Exam."

Then, after passing the test, he joined Shinji's evil god cult!

The last sentence is what Sasuke really wanted to say, but it's too early to say it now, as it might leave a bad impression.

Shinji smacked his lips twice, as if to say that wasn't what he meant, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.

Even if you tell Sasuke some things, it won't change anything, because Sasuke doesn't have the strength yet.

After Sasuke left, Shinji seemed to be still thinking about something and remained standing still.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Aren't you coming out? If you don't come out soon, I'm going back."

A figure flashed past from behind the tree and appeared in front of Shinji.

"So it's Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja from Konoha. Don't you know that eavesdropping on other people's conversations from the shadows is very impolite?" Shinji looked at the newcomer and spoke slowly.

"I was unaware that my reputation had already spread to Kirigakure, which is far away on the sea. Although what I did was indeed somewhat dishonorable, I hope that Advisor Shinji Akagi can understand the feelings of a teacher who cares about his disciple."

Although Kakashi spoke casually, the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

I know who you are, don't even think about messing with my disciple!

Shinji wasn't surprised by Kakashi's appearance; in fact, he thought Kakashi would have come to him sooner.

This is Konoha; Sasuke's whereabouts cannot be kept secret from anyone.

Fortunately, some of the dangerous conversations had already been completed when no one was around. Sasuke now knows what he can and cannot say, so Shinji doesn't need to worry about him.

Shinji really wanted to tell Kakashi that no one wanted to steal his disciple; it's just that his disciple thought he was a useless teacher!

And what's even more heartbreaking is that this is a fact!

Aside from his Chidori technique, Kakashi doesn't really have anything else worth teaching others.

Of course, this excludes some basics and experience.

Let's look at his three disciples in the seventh class...

Sasuke was kidnapped by Orochimaru.

Naruto and Jiraiya went to do some research.

Even Sakura, the most skilled teacher, couldn't resist becoming Tsunade's student and learning medical ninjutsu.

None of his three disciples were actually taught by him.

It's clear that Kakashi's role as a teacher was truly complicated.

He was very responsible and didn't hold back his knowledge.

Unfortunately, he's just not cut out for this.

"I see, I understand. But next time you can be more open and aboveboard. There's nothing shameful about it, so why be sneaky and furtive?"

Kakashi, unperturbed by the mockery, feigned ignorance and went along with it, saying, "That's great. I'll come along next time Sasuke visits."

"what ever."

Seeing the other person's open and honest expression, Kakashi became somewhat hesitant.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

What exactly does this guy want to achieve by getting close to Sasuke?

[Chapter 232. Snake Hunting (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)]

"What? You want to interfere in the next exam?"

Mei Terumi was stunned when she heard Shinji's purpose for coming.

"Yes, I suspect someone has infiltrated the candidates; there might be some kind of conspiracy."

Shinji's reason for wanting to intervene in the next exam is simple: it's not to thwart anyone's conspiracy, but to keep an eye on Sasuke.

Because he suddenly remembered that if Orochimaru hadn't died, he might have disguised himself as an examinee and sneaked in, just like before.

If Orochimaru manages to trick Sasuke away, wouldn't his mission be a failure?

Moreover, the cursed seal is only somewhat useful in the early stages; it becomes useless later on. There's absolutely no need for Sasuke to use this method to increase his strength.

So after much deliberation, even if it was just for the mission reward, he had to smash that little snake.
