I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"It seems it really is my influence." Kitahara Kaede's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Seeing Neji's dejected expression, Kitahara Kaede continued...

“I gave Hinata special training before, so she may have developed a new personality.”

"And the emergence of personality is often the result of the accumulation of negative emotions."

"And Neji, you should also be careful."

“You have quite a few negative emotions too,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." These words left Neji speechless.

because.

How can he possibly believe that?

Is this how negative emotions accumulate?

Hinata doesn't give him a chance to retaliate right now!

So, does the accumulation of his negative emotions make them stronger?

of course not.

Because Kitahara Kaede wasn't by his side.

Watching Neji limp away, Kitahara Kaede gently patted Hinata's arm.

It was alright when Mei Terumi hugged me in the Land of Waves before.

But that's because the Mizukage is older; Hinata is still too young.

Holding his hand like this would only make him feel like he's being prickly and uncomfortable.

···

"hey-hey!"

Neji left, but Hinata Black remained where she was, unaware that Kitahara Kaede somewhat disliked her flatness.

She continued to hold onto Kitahara Kaede's arm with great enthusiasm.

After all, this was her first appearance.

Although it seems that a less gentle side was seen, it has been successfully rectified.

Kitahara Kaede even took the initiative to find out the reason for her appearance, so... it means he acknowledges and accepts her, right?

And then... he even got the chance to spend time alone with Kitahara Kaede.

This is simply... a steal!

·····

Kitahara Kaede led Hinata Kuro out of the alley.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

The sky is now completely dark, officially night has arrived, and you can see twinkling stars in the sky.

The world of Naruto is less polluted, so the starry sky looks like a spider web. Although it's high-definition, it's still a bit disgusting to look at.

"I've eaten... oh no, I haven't." Black Hinata was about to pat her stomach but quickly changed her mind.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

"Then let's go get some donkey meat sandwiches together," Kitahara Kaede suggested.

This kind of boiled oden-like food won't fill you up, so you can have some even after you've eaten a meal.

"I like this!" Hinata Kuro immediately expressed her satisfaction.

Kitahara Kaede has discovered that this Black Hinata is more lively and daring than Hinata herself.

However, since it's a personality that I created by accident, it would be a bit of a waste to just give it up.

Therefore, Kitahara Kaede decided not to interfere much.

Anyway...

Kitahara Kaede glanced at Hinata Kuro, who was holding his arm and seemed very interested.

It doesn't matter which Hinata it is, as long as you like her, that's enough.

Chapter 053 The Chunin Exams: Testing the Five Kage? The Kage's Exam Grounds! (My darlings, please subscribe!)

On July 7, the weather was sunny.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

"Kitahara-kun——"

"Kitahara-kun——"

Three classmates were waiting in front of Kitahara Kaede's house.

From left to right are two men and one woman.

They are Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata Hyuga.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede didn't expect that the three of them would choose to come to his door at the same time to pick him up for the exam.

However, faced with his companion on one side and his girlfriend on the other, Kitahara Kaede's choice was quite straightforward.

"Hinata, you've changed back." Kitahara Kaede chose to speak to Hinata first. ①

"Hmm~"

Hinata nodded slightly.

She appears reserved and a little shy. ①

This is Hinata Hyuga, whom everyone knows. 6

Yesterday and the day before, she was in her Black Hinata form, but today she's back to her original form. 7

This further proves that Black Hinata is merely an alternate personality of Hinata.

The triggering mechanism is still unclear, but it's confirmed that the timid Hinata that Kitahara Kaede is familiar with still dominates the main personality.

····5

"Speaking of which, Sasuke, Kitahara-kun, and I are on the same team."

"And Kakashi-sensei also said that the Chunin Exams will be conducted in teams of three."

"Hinata, you're not in the same group as us, so why are you looking for Kitahara-kun so early!?"

Naruto, who was standing to the side with half of his body sticking out, asked curiously.

"..." Kitahara Kaede, Hinata.

It has to be said that Naruto is still quite close to his current age, and his mental maturity is not enough.

Why not learn from Sasuke?

You should know that Sasuke is a very self-disciplined person.

He never spoke to Hinata.

···

"I asked Hinata to help me prepare some things," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Ah... um—" Hinata quickly took out a scroll.

This is a sealing scroll; it can be used to seal some ninja tools.

She handed the scroll to Kitahara Kaede.

The entrance to the Ninja Academy displays a list of permitted and prohibited items for the Chunin Exams.

It has been confirmed that the first exam will be a written test, but you do not need to bring your own pen or paper.

However, as ninjas, practical skills will definitely be tested, so ninja tools and the like are allowed. Even summoning beasts or ninja dogs are permitted.

This made Naruto, who had seen the instructions, feel a little frustrated, because he hadn't learned anything about summoning beasts.

However, Naruto remembered that Hinata's teammate Kiba Inuzuka had a dog.

·····

"Speaking of the ninja tools we need to prepare..."

Sasuke also sneered.

He took out a whole stack of explosive tags from his ninja tool bag with one hand.

He divided the detonator into three parts.

All equal.

Each serving contains approximately 30 explosive tags.

Then he kept one portion for himself and gave the rest to Naruto and Kitahara Kaede, dividing them equally.

“I’ve also prepared some ninja tools,” he said.

"Explosive tags!?" Naruto was unusually sensitive to explosive tags. "Aren't these things very expensive?"

He had also visited ninja tool shops to prepare for the exam, and knew that explosive tags cost between 1000 and 5000 taels.

They only receive 500 ryo for completing a D-rank mission, so explosive tags are something that genin can only dream of.

Even Chunin would feel the pinch.

However, the explosive tag was very effective because it was a sealing talisman that sealed the fire-style ninjutsu.

And it can be detonated from a distance.

Therefore, attaching an explosive tag to a shuriken and throwing it is equivalent to throwing a grenade at the enemy.

This is devastating compared to the generally high-attack, low-defense dynamics prevalent in the ninja world.

Therefore, there is a compulsory ninja tool course in ninja academies - that is, the use and detection of explosive tags.

Lest... you run out and get blown up.

Take Senju Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, as an example; he suffered a terrible fate.

Because of the incident involving Rope Tree, the Ninja Academy added this course.

······

“Explosive tags are expensive,” Sasuke replied to Naruto. “But if you make them yourself, the cost is much lower.”

"A single talisman only costs 50-100 taels of silver."

"As you all know, the Uchiha clan is best at using explosive tags... I mean, fire-style ninjutsu."

"So I put the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique into the explosive tag myself."

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, our effects are comparable to those of explosive tags available on the market."

Sasuke said proudly.

Kitahara Kaede and Naruto thanked him and accepted the money.

Because even though Sasuke makes it sound easy, even geniuses experience failures during the creation process, let alone Sasuke, who is merely excellent but not a genius.

So even with nearly a hundred explosive tags, it probably took him a lot of time.

The evidence is the dark circles under his eyes.

It must have been made while staying up all night.

Although he didn't think the explosive tags were necessary, Kitahara Kaede accepted them considering it was Sasuke's effort.

Although he knew that the young lady of the Hyuga clan must have prepared a whole bunch of ninja tool scrolls for him.

And at this moment.
