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

He overheard the answer from behind the video recorder about why the Sunagakure genin group went out again after entering the tower.

The genin of Sunagakure were not unaware that opening the Heaven and Earth Scroll would end the exam.

The reason they chose to stay in the Forest of Death was to satisfy the bloodlust of that genin named Gaara.

Iruka didn't know whether he should tell Naruto and the others the reason.

This seems a bit too cruel to them.

But then Iruka thought again, Naruto and the others might face Gaara in the next exam.

Iruka still told them the truth.

Muzan had anticipated this and remained calm.

Naruto and Sakura weren't as calm as he was.

The two stared wide-eyed, struggling to process the news.

Seeing this, Iruka sighed inwardly and led them to the location of the next exam.

"follow me."

Naruto followed behind Iruka-sensei with mixed feelings.

Muzan looked around aimlessly, completely unaffected.

"arrive."

Iruka stopped in his tracks.

They entered the center of the tower.

What came into Muzan's view was a room at least ten times larger than the previous small room.

The room is spacious with a ceiling height of at least five meters.

The staircases on both sides of the main entrance extend to the grandstand, with a stone sculpture of a ninja's mark standing in the middle.

A black electronic screen was hanging on the wall in front of Muzan and the others.

"You all have to stay here until the second exam is over. Make the most of this time and get some rest!"

Iruka said to Naruto and the others.

Naruto turned around and watched Iruka's departing figure.

Muzan stretched and said, "Let's guess what will happen after the second exam!"

Sakura looked around and thought it over carefully: "I think it might be a one-on-one battle!"

Muzan glanced at Sakura with surprise.

That's pretty smart!

Sakura clenched her fist: "I'm going to use the rest of my time to train hard!"

Naruto looked at Sakura, who was full of energy, and nodded vigorously: "Me too."

Sasuke silently moved his shoulder; a slight pain was still affecting his movements.

He pursed his lips. If he used his chakra, the pain would spread throughout his body, burning his meridians and rendering him unable to move.

But the Chunin Exams weren't over yet, so he couldn't possibly not use his chakra.

"Sasuke."

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Naruto and the others.

"elder sister!"

Naruto rushed over immediately: "Sister, what brings you here?"

Rei Amamiya ruffled Naruto's hair and walked towards Sasuke.

"Sasuke, come with me."

Naruto was taken aback.

His gaze lingered between Rei Amamiya and Sasuke.

"But...but the exam isn't over yet..."

Naruto's eyes were filled with confusion.

Sasuke gritted his teeth: "I still need to continue the exam."

He didn't want to give up.

Sakura looked at Sasuke's stubborn profile and lowered her eyes.

"I know."

Rei Amamiya nodded and explained, "I will send you back before the next exam begins."

Sasuke's pupils dilated slightly as he stared at Rei Amamiya in shock.

Rei Amamiya pointed to Sasuke's shoulder: "It will affect your battle."

Naruto walked towards Rei Amamiya and Sasuke, looking at Sasuke curiously: "Sasuke, are you hurt?"

Sasuke instinctively covered his shoulder.

Naruto was startled by his actions.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, then shook his head at Rei Amamiya: "No, I can hold on."

Rei Amamiya: "..."

He didn't understand what Sasuke was thinking.

"I don't want to break the exam rules."

Sasuke lowered his eyes.

If he follows Amamiya Rei, then even if he wins, it would be considered cheating.

He didn't want this kind of victory.

"Take me with you!"

Muzan jumped up and walked up to Rei Amamiya: "It's so boring in here, I want to go out and eat barbecue!"

Rei Amamiya glanced at Sasuke, not even sparing Muzan's eyes, and said to Sasuke, "I respect your decision, Sasuke."

After he finished speaking, the space rippled, and his figure vanished from Muzan's sight.

Muzan sat down in disappointment and opened his sealing scroll again.

A pile of snacks appeared in front of him.

He glanced at Naruto and the other two and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Naruto: "..."

The food I ate this morning hasn't been digested yet.

Sakura shook her head in horror.

No!

She will gain weight.

"I need to seize the time to cultivate!"

Sakura ran to the side, determined to stay away from the sinful food.

"Sasuke, don't move. Sit down and rest for a while."

Muzan patted the floor next to him.

Sakura and Naruto are training, so Sasuke doesn't need to join in.

What Sasuke needs most right now is to sit still, relieve the pain of the cursed seal, and get used to the pain.

Chapter 417 Caring for Companions? ??

Muzan sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, with a blue electronic screen displayed in front of him.

His finger swiped across the blue electronic screen.

Sasuke remained silent beside him, glancing at Muzan's strange movements before looking away.

The scene in the Forest of Death would occasionally flash through his mind.

He was too weak.

It's impossible for someone like him to defeat Itachi Uchiha.

Sasuke placed his hand on the cursed seal behind his neck.

Muzan glanced at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye, then focused his attention back on the screen in front of him.

[Please select three skills from the following list for fusion and upgrade: Universal Pull, Kotoamatsukami, Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk, Blood Curse, Tailed Beast Ball, Octopus Leg Clone Technique, Koi-rei Yae-ko, Black Thunder Heaven Drive, Shadow Binding Dance, Senra Thousand Realms, Eight Prisons Collapse, Universal Blood Curse, Abyssal Heart Domain, Eight Trigrams Piercing Clouds, Corrupted Bone Hidden Crack, Summoning of the Hundred Demon Acid Sea... Click to expand]

Muzan hasn't yet figured out what skill to give the Hundred Demons' Acid Sea.

Let's fuse and upgrade the other skills first!

Muzan actually had an idea.

Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk is a pretty good skill, but it needs to be upgraded.

He has found two skills that match the Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk skill for the time being.

【Ding! 】

[Please confirm whether to fuse and upgrade Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk, Rat Tail Jade Seeking, and Sealing Art: Vajra Sealing Barrier?]

【whether】

[Yes] Muzan touched it.

The Rat Tail Seeking Jewel is a skill that Amamiya Rei obtained from the Two-Tails, but he hasn't had the chance to use it for a long time.

Rat Tail Seeking Jewels involves releasing multiple chakra balls and manipulating chakra threads with the ten fingers to control the direction of the attack. The chakra balls can explode when they get close to the enemy, producing extremely hot flames after the explosion.

Judging from the attack methods, this skill is quite suitable to be combined with Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk.

As for the Adamantine Sealing Chains, there's not much to say. After the chakra erupts, countless golden chains extend from the body, which can bind not only humans but even tailed beasts.

What skill will we get after fusing and upgrading these three skills?

Muzan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

【Ding! 】

[Blood Demon Art: Spider Silk, Rat Tail Jade Seeking, Sealing Art: Vajra Sealing Blockade successfully confirmed!]

[Integration in progress...]

[Skill fusion successful!]

[The fusion skill is currently being upgraded...]

【1, 2, 3...】

[Skill upgrade successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new skill—Heavenly Net!]

Tianluo, this name is quite suitable for this new ability.

The card in front of Muzan flipped over, revealing the skill descriptions on the back.

[Tianluo Skill Introduction: Spider silk evolves into Annihilation Silk, which is indestructible. Each thread contains compressed Two-Tails chakra, and an explosion occurs upon contact with Annihilation Silk. The spider silk can freely switch between blade mode and sealing mode. In sealing mode, sealing runes appear on the surface of the threads. Once touched by the spider silk, the body will lose control and become unable to move. After the threads create wounds on the body, the sealing runes can remain on the body surface, and the seal will not be obstructed.]

Muzan tapped the skill card in front of him, and the card disappeared.

There's a lot of room for improvement in this skill!

Footsteps reached Muzan's ears. He stood up, walked to the railing, and looked down.

Neji and the other two came into his view.

"Muzan?"
