Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Conference room in the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not present, and Rei Amamiya sat at the head of the table, with the village's ninjas lined up neatly in front of him.

Rei Amamiya's gaze swept over them as she spoke:

"The reason I called everyone here today is about the Chunin Exams."

"Konoha and Sunagakure will jointly host the Chunin Exams, and all preparations for the competition are complete."

“The genin from Sunagakure and other ninja villages have been arriving in Konoha one after another.”

"You are all currently the instructors of the village's genin. No one knows the strength of genin better than you. Whether to recommend a genin in your team to participate in the Chunin Exams is up to you."

As soon as Rei Amamiya finished speaking, the Jonin exchanged glances.

Matt Kay was the first to speak.

"I, Might Guy, hereby recommend Team 3 members Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Tenten to participate in this Chunin Exam."

Matt Kay's face radiated powerful confidence.

Hyuga Neji is Rei Amamiya's apprentice, and he knows better than anyone else Neji's current strength.

Hyuga Neji's current strength is already at the Jonin level.

Rei Amamiya nodded and handed three Chunin Exam application forms to Might Guy.

"I, Sarutobi Asuma, hereby recommend Team 10 members Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji to participate in this Chunin Exams."

Sarutobi Asuma put the cigarette out of his mouth and said seriously.

He had barely finished speaking when Kurenai Yuhi's voice rang out.

"I, Kurenai Yuhi, hereby recommend Team 8 members Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame to participate in this Chunin Exams."

Sarutobi Asuma looked towards Kurenai Yuhi and found that Kurenai was staring intently at Rei Amamiya.

Sarutobi Asuma's smile froze. What happened to their tacit understanding?

"I, Kakashi Hatake, hereby recommend Team 7 members Muzan Kibutsuji, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno to participate in this Chunin Exams."

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Iruka, who was standing behind him, raised his head, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Amamiya," Iruka said anxiously, looking at Rei Amamiya, "Naruto and the others only recently graduated from the Ninja Academy. Isn't it too early for them to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Rei Amamiya looked at Kakashi, who turned to Iruka, who had walked up to him, and reminded him, "I'm the Jonin leading Naruto and the others. I know very well that they are strong enough to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Chapter 402 Neji in a hurry!!!

"But……"

Iruka was about to say something when Rei Amamiya raised his hand to interrupt him, smiling at Iruka: "Iruka, I also support Kakashi's decision. Naruto and the others have indeed reached the standard to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Naruto was raised by Rei Amamiya and lived with her every day.

As for Muzan, there's no need to even mention him.

Since Rei Amamiya had said so, Iruka had no choice but to put aside his worries. He believed that Lord Amamiya would not make a wrong decision.

"The first Chunin Exam will be held in a week. Jonin, please remind the Genin who are taking the exam to submit their application forms in three days."

Rei Amamiya said to them.

"Yes."

……

On the Nanga River Bridge.

Naruto hung himself on the railing.

Located downstream of the Namga River, the water flows slowly, so even if you fall in, you won't drown.

Muzan sat on the railing, occasionally tossing the daifuku in his hand into Naruto's mouth.

Naruto couldn't help but say, "Muzan, slow down, I can't finish eating!"

Before I could even finish the previous daifuku, the next one was already in my mouth.

Naruto felt like he was about to choke to death.

Muzan stopped what he was doing and looked at Sakura.

Sakura quickly covered her mouth: "No! Girls will gain weight if they eat this!"

Muzan pouted: "You look better when you're a little chubby!"

Sakura sighed, marveling at Muzan's aesthetic sense: "In Muzan's eyes, 200 pounds is the most suitable weight!"

Muzan nodded: "Aren't chubby and cute?"

There's so much meat we can't finish it!

Sakura: "..."

Well, Muzan's aesthetic sense is beyond saving.

Sasuke reached out his hand towards Muzan, his expression rather indifferent.

Muzan immediately stuffed the entire bag of daifuku in his hand into Sasuke's hands.

Sasuke leaned against the railing, slowly devouring Daifuku.

Sakura: "..."

Then she should eat some too.

When Kakashi-sensei appeared before her, Sakura was surprised to find that she had unknowingly finished all the daifuku.

Sakura touched her face in horror.

Oops!

Eating sweets will ruin your skin!

She must learn medical ninjutsu from Muzan!

"Kakashi-sensei, you're late again."

Naruto stood up from the railing and looked at Kakashi with displeasure.

Kakashi cleared his throat, skipped the topic, and took out four Chunin Exam application forms.

"This is the application form for the Chunin Exams. Those who wish to participate should submit their applications to Ninja Academy Room 301 in three days."

Kakashi's words were concise and to the point.

Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw the application.

He jumped onto Kakashi and climbed all over him like a monkey before finally jumping down, satisfied.

Kakashi: "..."

He sent the application to four people.

Muzan looked at the application form in his hand and handed it to Naruto; he was too lazy to take it.

Naruto carefully packed both application forms.

When he turned around, he found that Kakashi-sensei was gone.

"Is everyone going to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke and Sakura.

Sasuke snorted, his eyes revealing a powerful confidence.

Sakura hesitated slightly.

She ran to Muzan's side: "Muzan-sensei, my wallet is ready. Let's work hard together from now on!"

Sakura clenched her fists and shouted loudly with great determination.

Muzan's lips twitched. Sakura was too realistic!

Whenever they need him, they run over and call him teacher.

Tsk tsk.

Who could resist Muzan's urge?

"alright."

Muzan nodded reluctantly.

"Yes!"

Plans are in place!

A glint flashed in Sakura's eyes.

"Then you'd better listen to me these next few days!"

Muzan made a request.

He made Sakura eat whatever he wanted her to eat.

He didn't want to hear the sinful word "diet" again.

"no problem!"

Sakura nodded firmly.

"I'm going to find my sister!"

Seeing this, Naruto quickly turned around as well.

He wanted his sister to teach him a few more powerful ninjutsu techniques!

As Naruto walked, he realized something was wrong; someone was following him!

Naruto turned around and saw the arrogant Sasuke.

Why are you following me?

Naruto questioned.

Sasuke: "...Who's following you? I'm going to find Rei Amamiya."

Naruto: "...Isn't that still following me!"

On the same road, two people stood a meter apart, neither wanting to get close to the other.

At this moment, Rei Amamiya was neither in the office nor at home.

He was in the forest of Konoha, watching Neji train.

Neji stood ten meters away from Amamiya.

He was in the middle of the forest, surrounded by towering trees.

His presence was almost imperceptible, as if he had merged into the forest.

The veins on his cheeks bulged, and the whites of his eyes emitted a pale purple light.

at the same time.

The roots of the cedar tree, the tender grass on the ground, the moss on the bark, the green leaves on the branches...

The air was filled with humid moisture.

Crystal-clear water droplets float in the air.

Each transparent water droplet reflects the shadow of the entire forest.

Neji frowned, his perspective expanding to an unprecedented degree.

The perspective lost due to the caged bird has also been compensated for.

The entire forest was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Beetles hiding in the grass, water snakes swimming in the river, squirrels munching on nuts in tree trunk burrows...

Chakra surged continuously within his body, like flowing water.

Neji felt as if his limbs and bones were being burned, and a fine, persistent pain emanated from him.
