"Cultivate yourselves well, for the future of the village depends on you."

Faced with the praise from the Jonin and the Hokage, Shingetsu Seiun gave a shy smile.

"Lord Hokage, I will continue to work hard."

Then, amidst a group of surprised gazes, she retreated back to Asuma Yuhi Kurenai's side.

"Nebula, you're amazing." Sarutobi Asuma gently nudged Shinzuki Seiun's shoulder and whispered, "You were so cool just now."

Shenyue Xingyun glanced at him: "What, are you no longer just a useless, glamorous exterior?"

Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head awkwardly: "What are you saying? I don't understand."

"Let's continue watching the game."

The next challenger was Uchiha Obito.

When he took the stage, he immediately encountered a problem.

His original plan was to challenge Shingetsu Seiun, defeat him honorably, then say a few harsh words to win Nohara Rin's heart and reach the pinnacle of the ninja world... but unexpectedly, someone else thwarted his plan.

What's even more outrageous is that Shenyue Xingyun has somehow developed such arrogant swordsmanship.

The perfectly planned scheme has fallen through.

He could only reluctantly choose an opponent from the remaining Chunin.

Ibiki Morino? He looks pretty fierce.

Mute... Absolutely not for girls.

Hey, where did Mizuki go? Oh right! Mizuki got kicked off the field by Might Guy.

Obito Uchiha continued to scout around. Of the remaining people he could challenge, some were quite formidable, while others were women. What to do?

"Obito, hurry up and choose your opponent." The proctoring Jonin had already begun to urge him on.

Having no other choice, Obito Uchiha looked at the Chunin and randomly picked one.

"I challenge Genma Shiranui."

Compared to the other boys who seemed intimidating, Genma Shiranui didn't seem to have any impressive reputations.

Aside from liking to hold a senbon stick in his mouth and act all high and mighty, the other person didn't seem aggressive at all.

It's him!

"Obito Uchiha versus Genma Shiranui, the challenge begins."

Genma Shiranui entered the arena and stood facing Obito Uchiha. The two formed the opposing hand seals and then assumed a ready stance.

"You bastard," Genma Shiranui said, his face displeased. "Do I look weak?"

Obito Uchiha took it for granted, but said aloud, "It's just a coincidence."

Genma Shiranui held a kunai in one hand and picked up a few senbon needles in the other: "It doesn't matter."

"Bring it on, let me see where you get the courage to challenge me."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's lips curled into a proud smile. The next second, a striking red light emanated from his eyes. Within each pupil, a black tomoe slowly rotated, radiating an oppressive aura.

Genma Shiranui: "..."

He gripped the kunai and senbon needles tightly in his hands, feeling a sense of absurdity.

If you're not Obito, when did you awaken your Sharingan? And why did you choose me?

Not only him, but also the other ninjas and the proctoring Jonin showed a look of surprise.

Sharingan!

A genuine Sharingan!

There's an unwritten rule in Konoha: among the Uchiha who awaken the Sharingan, there are no weaklings.

Obito Uchiha was already a qualified genin to begin with, and now with the amplification of his Sharingan, his chances of winning against a newly promoted chunin are extremely high!

Everyone looked at the goggles-wearing boy in the arena and secretly raised their assessment of his strength by a level.

Sensing the astonishment of the crowd, Obito Uchiha suppressed his smirk, trying to maintain a cold demeanor. He gripped his kunai tightly and said in a cold voice, "Take this, Genma."

Genma Shiranui also wore a solemn expression.

"Make your move, Obito. Even with the Sharingan, I won't give up."

"Whoosh!" Obito Uchiha dashed off.

With the power of his single-tomoe Sharingan, he felt he maintained a high degree of control over his environment and himself even while running. He was confident he could achieve victory quickly!

Just as he approached Genma Shiranui, suddenly, Genma Shiranui's eyes widened!

Ignoring the approaching Obito Uchiha, he looked into the distance and suddenly let out a loud shout!

"Lin! Watch out!!"

Chapter 99 News from the Front

As Genma Shiranui exclaimed, the familiar name made Obito Uchiha's heart skip a beat!

Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly turned around! When he was halfway around, a suspicion began to rise in his mind that the other person might be lying to him.

But he needed to see it to be sure!

Wherever there is a battle, Lin is of utmost importance.

He seemed to hear two faint sounds, and Obito Uchiha felt a sharp pain in his back.

He saw Lin, who looked worried, but nothing happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Genma Shiranui, who had deceived him, wanting to teach him a lesson.

However, as the stinging pain in his back turned into a numb itch, Obito Uchiha stumbled the next second.

My head is getting increasingly dizzy.

The scene before him seemed to grow increasingly heavy, and he could vaguely hear Genma Shiranui's voice.

"Sorry, Obito, your weakness is too obvious."

"Thump!~"

Seeing Obito Uchiha collapse on the field, the proctoring Jonin was speechless for a moment.

He was initially excited when the Sharingan appeared, but it turned out to be just like that.

Was Genma Shiranui's behavior shameless?

It's just a simple deception; for ninjas, such methods are commonplace and not shameless at all.

To his surprise, Obito still fell for it. He really didn't know whether to call the other person kind-hearted or incredibly stupid.

"The victor is Genma Shiranui."

With the final challenger's victory decided, the Chunin Exams finally came to an end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped to the front of the stage and addressed the group of genin who had come to participate in the Chunin Exams, as well as the newly promoted chunin. After reiterating the importance of upholding the Will of Fire, Hiruzen Sarutobi announced a sudden piece of news.

The war has begun.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the restless ninjas below and spoke slowly.

"A young ninja."

"This war was initially launched by Kumogakure against Sunagakure, and it has now spread rapidly, affecting the entire ninja world."

"At this time, the border has become the front line of war, and brave ninjas are shedding their blood to protect the village."

"They are Konoha, who burned themselves to light up the village."

"Now, it is time for the new buds of Konoha to go to the front lines and grow rapidly amidst the flames of war."

"There awaits your achievements."

"Remember, your partners and relatives live in the village behind you."

"Where leaves dance, fire will burn. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout."

"Go on, children."

"Grow up quickly, the future of the village depends on you!" The inspiring speech ignited the fear in the genin, who had been hesitant moments before, and quickly fueled their courage to defend Konoha. They couldn't wait to don their armor and charge into battle, to earn merit on the front lines.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fulfilled their wishes.

"Go back and prepare well."

"Spend some time with your family."

"Tomorrow we will line up and depart for the border."

……

It was already evening when I got home.

Upon entering the house, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of food. Hearing the door open, Izumo Kamatsuki, who was busy in the kitchen, saw that it was his elder brother returning and said, "Wash your hands, the food will be ready soon."

After Shingetsu Seiun washed his hands, Shingetsu Izumo had already served the food and put it on the table.

"Eat."

"This was prepared especially for you."

Looking at the fairly plentiful meal, Shenyue Xingyun nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Is that all?"

Izumo Kamatsuki was taken aback, then looked up and said, "Isn't this enough?"

How much can you eat?

Shenyue Xingyun said, "I mean there's nothing else?"

"Like... a cake or something?"

Izumo Kamui: "What cake?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "A cake to celebrate passing the Chunin Exams."

"Brother, don't joke around." Izumo Kamizuki couldn't help but laugh: "Your skills are only good enough to teach me a lesson."
