He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

The people in the ninja world have far more cells in their bodies than the people in the world of Isogen's previous life, which is already incredible. Moreover, the activity of Hashirama Senju's cells is a variant that has never appeared in the ninja world before. Even the Sage of Six Paths would be dumbfounded if he saw it.

The increasingly strong cellular activity provides even greater power when Hashirama Senju is in his complete state. However, once he engages in a fierce battle with a strong opponent of the same level, the resulting injuries can easily cause his cells to go out of control.

The good news is that back then, there were only a handful of people in the ninja world who could do this, and they were all from the same village.

Bad news: the deputy village chief has defected.

We entered through the main entrance.

There is actually a solution to this phenomenon: if Hashirama Senju learns from Madara Uchiha, his powerful Yang Release will draw in Yin Release, and his powerful Yin Release will draw in Yang Release, thus maintaining a balance between the two.

Unfortunately, he didn't live to see a way out.

Orochimaru was in a good mood after a small success on his path to immortality, but he did not forget the important task that Isogen had entrusted to him.

"I still have no clue about the data packets you asked me to study. The method of regenerating and transferring data by compressing its own data is the first time I've heard of it. It is similar to a previous idea of ​​mine, but it is more mature and reliable."

His original idea was to infuse the soul into a new vessel, but with the help of Fifty Strings, he realized that doing so would damage the soul and make it increasingly weak.

That would reduce his resistance to genjutsu, and eventually he might even fall into genjutsu with just a glare from a Sharingan with three tomoe.

"However, I'm making good progress on the Impure World Reincarnation plan," Orochimaru chuckled.

The Chunin Exams consist of a written test first, followed by a practical test, and finally a ninja competition.

The written test was unremarkable, except for one outsider ninja who deliberately provoked Hyuga Mizuki because of her gentle and weak appearance and easy-to-bully demeanor.

Hyuga Mizuki didn't even blink, and lightly raised her wrist.

Gentle Fist!

Peng!

The art of human disappearance!

The examiner in charge of proctoring saw this scene, then looked at the very familiar Hyuga Mizuki, hesitated to speak, and finally the chief examiner spoke up in time.

"Ahem, a ninja is someone who can endure in any situation. The previous person was clearly unqualified. Examiner Koto, please note this down: unqualified."

"Yes."

Hinata Mizuki gracefully took her seat, and those around her subconsciously moved aside, their faces showing apprehension.

The genin from Konoha Village were overjoyed and excited.

"Big Sister Mizuki is so cool!"

"No wonder Brother Ishigaki values ​​him!"

"It's a pity that Brother Wushixian didn't come to take the exam."

"My brother isn't a ninja, so why would he need to take an exam? Besides, even if he didn't take it, he could still mobilize the village's resources."

As soon as Uchiha Hikaru sat down, he heard a constant stream of discussions about Ichigen, which aroused his curiosity.

She hadn't seen these people during the time she had been with Wu Shixian, and she was curious as to why they were so familiar and friendly with each other.

"Of course it's because Brother Wuxian is the person we admire the most!"

"That's right, Brother Igarashi is a really good person. He often helped us train when we were in the Ninja Academy. Although we have graduated now, we can't let go of the fine traditions left by Brother Igarashi!"

"It's a pity I'm not strong enough. Last time I challenged the top, I failed before I even got close to the door."

Uchiha Hikaru looked confused.

There were schools in her time, but they weren't for ordinary people. The knowledge she learned was passed down from the elders of her clan and her parents, and she stopped attending school later.

After arriving in Konoha, she showed little interest in anything else. She spent her days following Isogen around or staying at home listening to Mito Uzumaki's teachings and taking care of the pregnant Rin Uzumaki.

So, this is what schools are all about: a group of people gathering together to determine the top, where strength speaks volumes, and the strongest person stands at the top, able to command everyone in the ninja academy.

"I see," she realized.

Once she grasped this point, her eyes instantly cleared, and a serious flame burned within them. Since that was the case, she was determined to give it her all to pass this test!

Given her knowledge base, the cricket definitely wouldn't pass the written test...

"..."

"The exam is over. Everyone, please hand in your papers."

The fierce-looking examiner spoke in a deep voice and began to examine each of the collected exam papers.

This exam is crucial to Konoha's reputation after the turmoil, so we must be serious and careful to ensure that no problems arise!

"As expected of the Hyuga family's young lady, even without attending the Ninja Academy, her skills are frighteningly solid." After praising her, he looked at the next card.

"..."

Blank paper.

Let's look at the name again.

Uchiha Hikaru

"call"

My dear young lady!

The people sitting around you are cheating so badly they're practically flying, and you're really going to answer the questions honestly?

The first item essentially tests intelligence gathering ability, after all, this is a required course for ninjas and a necessity for survival.

He had been specifically instructed before coming, and he originally thought that this Uchiha young lady, who came from who-knows-where, had amazing methods, and that even he, a senior examiner, would not be able to find any trace of her.

So, it turns out you never even considered answering the question?

Looking at the four brightly lit characters in the name column, he remained silent for a long time before decisively skipping over it.

Full of light!

Several quick-witted and sharp-eyed genin nearly popped their eyes out when they saw this scene. They instinctively wanted to shout that it was unfair, but then they suddenly remembered the ninja from the small village who had suddenly left using Blood Release, lacking martial ethics and manners.

They turned around and left.

The second exam venue is the Death Forest.

At this moment, two enormous tailed beasts, each as large as a mountain, stood in the forest, surrounded by Konoha ninja scattered like stars in the sky.

The Forest of Death is completely surrounded by Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage robes and a suit of armor he never parted with, was looking solemnly toward the entrance.

Swish.

"Lord Hokage, everything is arranged. If a battle breaks out, civilians and nobles can be transferred to a safe area at any time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, his gaze serious.

"Biwako, Shinnosuke, Asuma, I hope this battle can end peacefully."

Chapter 60: The Pinball Game, the Truth-Seeking Jewels are Pinballs

At this moment, Cixian, who had waited and endured for so long, gazed into the distance.

"Finally, it's here."

Do you know how much he's suffered in this village these past few days?!

Sometimes, when he was so annoyed that he wanted to explode, Konoha's patrolling Anbu or police would quickly arrive, making him wonder if Konoha had discovered something.

But then I saw that some other people had experienced the same thing.

The anger that had been building up in my chest suddenly had nowhere to go.

It wasn't targeted; it was just an accident.

He would rather it be targeted than this outcome.

He can appropriately punish those people, but dealing with unexpected situations is much more troublesome. After all, his main goal is to avoid too much trouble, and escalating the incident will definitely lead to more complicated consequences, which is not conducive to his valuable time.

Therefore, it is simply incomprehensible that the powerful Otsutsuki had to endure the harassment of the ninja world's troublemakers!

Fortunately, all of this will be over today.

In the Forest of Death, the Five-Tailed Fox and the Eight-Tailed Fox are communicating.

"I can sense it; he's definitely a very troublesome guy."

"There was a similar smell to the old man's, which I had almost forgotten after all these years."

The demon's eyes flashed fiercely: "Regardless of whether he is or not, we must capture him today!"

Heaven have mercy.

The tailed beasts have had a hard time these past few decades. Just when things were starting to look a little better, another one appeared, wandering around with a wild Ten-Tails. If the other party were to recover to its peak, he wouldn't believe that he wouldn't capture all nine of them and feed them to the Ten-Tails. He would tear off all of the Nine-Tails' tails.

"Three tailed beasts, that saves me some time."

Jigen sensed the three massive sources of chakra from the three tailed beasts of Konoha and smiled.

His ten-tailed fox had been starving for the past thousand years, and now that the resurrection plan was completed, it would be a good meal for it.

At this moment, in the dense forest of the Death Forest, a few figures could occasionally be seen flashing by, before silence returned.

Wu Zixian strolled slowly through the area, his steps light, following behind the two girls.

Natural energy automatically concealed his form and aura; now he was a tree, a flower, a grass, a moss, and the forest itself.

Even if you catch a glimpse of him with your naked eye, your brain will keep reminding you that the place is empty and there is no one here.

Isogen surveyed the tall trees and enormous wild beasts he saw along the way.

Some speculate that the forest surrounding Konoha was a barrier created for the village by the First Hokage using the power of Wood Release.

In a sense, that's not wrong.

With a schedule of 365 days a year, he comes to the Death Forest almost every day to cause some amusing little destruction, so he knows exactly where the pits and traps are in the Death Forest.

Don't ask how the pit came about yet.
