Kiba turned around and said to Naruto and his group.

However, due to the scroll turmoil in front of them, the interest of the people in Class 7 was not high and they did not talk to each other.

The expected moment of ruthless talk didn't happen. Ya felt bored and took the lead in pushing the door open and walking in.

-

"So, do you think his purpose this time is Uchiha Sasuke?"

Konoha, in the Hokage's office, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is receiving a report from Mitarashi Anko.

Not long ago, Red Bean had a fight with Orochimaru. Although she was determined to die, she was still far from being Orochimaru's opponent.

"He told me that he wanted the exam to continue, 'If you take away my fun, the end of Konoha Ninja Village will come'."

As Hongdou relayed Orochimaru's words, the Third Hokage's brows became more and more furrowed.

You must know that the princes and famous figures from various countries are already on their way. If the exam is canceled rashly, it will have a big blow to Konoha's prestige.

Orochimaru, what exactly do you want to do?

Perhaps, as he himself said, all he wanted was Uchiha Sasuke;

Or he may have a grudge against him for driving him out of the village and plot to assassinate him;

Even war.

"In short, all activities will continue as normal. But all departments must pass on the order, increase their vigilance, and pay close attention to all actions related to Orochimaru!"

After thinking for a long time, the Third Hokage made such an arrangement.

"Yes!"

Just as Anko was about to retreat, the Third Hokage suddenly stopped her again: "Also, ask Kakashi to come over."

The Third Hokage stared at the trees outside the window.

Among the branches of a tree, a nest of young birds is trying to spread its wings. At first, they can only spread a small part of their wings, while the adult birds gently support them.

With more practice, the young birds were able to spread their wings more and more. One brave little bird walked to the tree first and began to prepare for gliding tremblingly.

"咚咚-"

Kakashi knocked on the door and stood respectfully at the door: "Greetings, Hokage-sama."

The third generation turned around and waved his hand, indicating to close the door.

"The autumn wind has begun, and the warm days may be coming to an end." The Third Hokage sighed.

Kakashi pondered for a moment: "Lord Hokage, are you worried about Orochimaru?"

"Yes," the third generation nodded, "there is an important task that needs you to complete."

"Yes!" Kakashi stood up straight.

"According to the current intelligence, one of Orochimaru's goals this time is very likely to get Uchiha Sasuke. From now on, I want you to never leave Sasuke's side for a moment."

"Yes"

Protecting his students was Kakashi's duty, and there was no need for special instructions from the Third Hokage.

But Kakashi also knew it. Currently, he is not Orochimaru's opponent. If the other party really wants to snatch it, I'm afraid I may not be able to resist it.

The Sandaime seemed to have seen through Kakashi's mind and said slowly: "I know that Orochimaru is very powerful and cannot be matched by you. Just do your best. No matter what happens, I will not blame you."

Kakashi was silent.

"By the way, in this mission, your life must take precedence over the target itself. Don't force it."

Sandai instructed.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Kakashi felt warm in his heart, only hating that he was not strong enough.

At present, Konoha's talent is withering, and it is precisely because of this that the Hokage has to make such a deployment.

After Kakashi retreated, an old man with the right side of his face covered in bandages walked in through the side door.

"Kakashi can't stop it."

The person who came was none other than Shimura Danzo.

"I know."

The Third Hokage answered quietly.

"It is difficult to save Uchiha Sasuke, but there are many other ways to prevent Orochimaru from getting a living Uchiha."

Danzo said.

The Sandaime remained silent.

"Anyway, leave it to me!"

Danzo understood in his heart and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The Third Hokage suddenly stopped him.

"Don't act rashly until the last moment! Sasuke still plays a very important role for us."

"I know."

Danzo laughed at his old friend's worries in his heart. He had been doing this for so many years, but he still understood the rules.

I saw a sneer on his lips, turned around and left.

"For the future of Konoha."

Looking at the flying birds outside the window, the Third Hokage spoke earnestly to the air.

Forest of Death, in the central tower.

Ever since the Monkey Orange incident, the atmosphere in Class 7 has been very subtle.

Fortunately, Kakashi's arrival broke the embarrassment in time.

"Not bad. As expected of my proud subordinate, he passed the second round so smoothly."

Kakashi held "Intimate Paradise" in one hand and greeted the three people with a smile.

Hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke both showed awkward expressions.

"Anyway, there is some luck involved, ha, ha ha ha." Sakura tried hard to break the embarrassment while cursing what the hell she was talking about.

"Compared to this, Sasuke, the wound on your neck" Kakashi put away the book with a serious look on his face.

After hearing this, Naruto finally realized that he had been too indulged in his own emotions before and had temporarily ignored this fatal problem.

"Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it must be very troublesome."

At this time, Sasuke couldn't help but cough. The battle with Orochimaru, the high fever caused by the curse seal, and the experiment of forcibly activating the curse seal had already exhausted his energy.

"But it doesn't matter. There's still a little time before the next stage. Maybe I can help."

Chapter 10 The beginning of a turning point

Inside the darkroom.

Sasuke sat cross-legged with his upper body naked. He used a kunai to draw two circles on the ground, one large and one small, surrounding Sasuke in the middle.

Kakashi dipped his hands in cinnabar and kept writing on Sasuke's back. The densely packed spells spread from the ground to Sasuke's shoulders, and finally gathered at the cursed wound.

"Okay." Kakashi said, "Just be patient."

Sasuke nodded.

Kakashi quickly formed seals with his hands, pressed his right hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and shouted:

"Seal of evil!"

The immense pain made Sasuke unable to help but scream. He saw the originally still runes rapidly compressing and moving, and began to rotate around the curse seal.

Finally, an irregular circle framed the outer edge of the curse.

"With the power of the evil seal, the next time you use ninjutsu, the curse will not be triggered. However, this sealing technique is based on your willpower. If you give up your resistance to the power of the curse, , the curse seal will erupt again."

Kakashi explained.

Sasuke nodded, his face as white as paper.

"There's still one day left, so take a good rest."

On the upper floor of the central tower, a rest room was prepared for the ninjas who finished the game ahead of schedule. Although it was not high-end, it was neat and tidy.

Compared to sleeping in the wild for the past three days, Sasuke finally lay on a warm and soft bed tonight.

After dinner, Naruto and Sakura came to the room to visit him.

"Sasuke-kun, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Sakura asked.

Naruto followed behind, looking worried.

"Well, Kakashi-sensei helped me control the curse seal. I just need to take a good rest and regain my energy, and then I'll be fine."

"Ah, great! Kakashi-sensei is really amazing." Sakura smiled.

After a brief silence, Sasuke turned to Naruto: "About the weird monkey orange, it's really..."

"Ah! I've already thought about it!" Naruto interrupted Sasuke and showed a big smile, "Every ninja has his own way of doing things! Although I don't like Uncle Monkey's way, maybe, then It’s also a form of tolerance in this world!”

"However, I still insist on my opinion. In the next exam, I will use my own way to become a chuunin and win everyone's recognition! After all, I am the man who wants to become Hokage!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up, looking proud.

"Really, idiot." Sasuke smiled and shook his head.

Afterwards, the three of them talked and laughed for a while, and analyzed the strength of other players for a while. It wasn't until Sasuke couldn't help showing a tired look that the two of them left in a hurry.

Perhaps, this is the bond of friendship.
