I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

This is Kosuke Maruboshi.

He served as a genin for 50 years.

His strength had reached the level of a Jonin, but he insisted on being a Genin, almost torturing himself.

"It seems Kosuke doesn't know either." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

Maruboshi Kosuke can be considered his fourth disciple.

Kosuke Maruboshi was born during the time of the Second Hokage and became a genin. However, due to his excessive desire to earn merit and performance, his poor command led his genin squad into an enemy trap, resulting in their complete annihilation.

He was in unbearable pain at that time, and even contemplated suicide.

The second-generation teacher noticed this situation and taught Maruboshi Kosuke the Water Dragon Bullet and Water Barrier.

I hope that Maruhoshi Kosuke can pull through and make the most of his regretful life.

Kosuke also insisted on this point and punished him by never being promoted. Later, he couldn't stand it and wanted to promote him, but was still rejected.

So he taught Kosuke the technique of creating shadow clones with shuriken.

Time flies... and now it's here.

However, even after 50 years as a genin... the seniority has become terrifying... but these questions are indeed difficult for an old man.

The Third Hokage even felt that... even Tobirama-sensei wouldn't be able to do it.

After all... these questions aren't the kind of questions students at the Ninja Academy learn!

These are all extracurricular activities, and they're even beyond the curriculum!

"What are you doing?" A voice came at that moment.

Then everyone realized that Danzo Shimura had come over.

The Konoha F4 were assembled instantly.

"The written exam questions for Ibiki's Chunin Exams this time were too difficult," Mitokado Homura said. "By the way, Danzo, you haven't been very active these past few days."

"I'm getting old, after all, and I need more rest," Danzo said, sounding somewhat sickly.

However, the reality is that he was neither injured nor sick, and he was in good health after receiving Hashirama cells in his body.

However... as expected, when he went to Kitahara Kaede's apartment, Kitahara Kaede directly exposed the secret of his Sharingan, which made him feel depressed for a moment.

The reason I'm here now is because... I want to see if Kitahara Kaede has used the Sharingan he gave him.

Once you've used... then you're one of his people.

Kitahara Kaede was the only successful subject of Orochimaru's Wood Release laboratory, unlike Tenzo, he was truly valuable.

That's why Danzo kept trying to hold on to it.

Seeing that if Kitahara Kaede were to use the Sharingan, it would mean he was getting closer to his side, how could he possibly let it go?

He was also worried... that Orochimaru and his gang's target infiltrated Konoha was Kitahara Kaede.

After finally letting Kitahara Kaede roam freely in the village for several years, Orochimaru comes to harvest her as soon as she grows up. Is he even human?

Danzo absolutely could not agree to this.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he was also thinking about how to deal with Orochimaru.

He has never given up on the position of Hokage. If he could use Orochimaru to bring Sarutobi down, or even have Orochimaru and Sarutobi die together, that would be the best solution.

Then of course we have to come to the site to make some plans.

Then we saw... Sarutobi and his two companions sighing and lamenting around a crystal ball.

···

"Oh……"

Danzo walked over and glanced at the crystal ball.

"These questions are very difficult."

"These are the exam papers Orochimaru set, Sarutobi, have you forgotten?"

"Because the difficulty level was too high, it was rejected by you."

"It was originally intended for testing Jonin," Danzo said.

"!" Mitokado Homura, who loved reading, exclaimed in surprise. "Yes, that's the test paper!"

"Because I could only solve 3 problems, I remember them very well!"

····

"Danzo, you are truly a genius!"

All three generations of Danzo were somewhat wary of him.

I never imagined that my companions who went astray in the past would ultimately come in so many useful positions.

The Third Hokage was quite grateful for everything Danzo had done for him over the years; otherwise, after the Nine-Tails' attack, Konoha's lack of talent would have been easily overcome by other ninja villages.

It was all thanks to Danzo's Root that he gathered intelligence and then sabotaged other villages, forcing them to passively give Konoha time to develop.

These are things that cannot be discussed openly. But the three generations all remember them.

“But isn’t this perfect?” Danzo continued. “Since it’s Orochimaru’s test, then… all we need to do is see who’s frantically writing down the answers right now, right?”

"Since Orochimaru set the exam, if Orochimaru is impersonating a test taker, then he can definitely answer the questions!"

“Right!?”

Danzo had a wonderful plan: to quickly capture Orochimaru, and then take advantage of Sarutobi's previous statement that he wanted to confront Orochimaru.

Then they won't give Sarutobi a way out, forcing him to fight Orochimaru.

If they win, Sarutobi should be seriously injured; if Sarutobi loses, he will definitely have to take responsibility for letting Orochimaru go again.

So... even Sarutobi will be dragged down.

in this way.

Kitahara Kaede, Sarutobi has been dragged down, so who else can you choose besides me?

So that means... the position of the Fifth Hokage, plus the Wood Release experimenter, are all in our hands!

It's absolutely perfect.

Orochimaru is practically his lucky star!

Danzo thought to himself.

“That makes sense!” said Koharu Utatane, who was a little simpler-minded. “Sarutobi, widen the field of vision of the crystal ball.”

"Good!" The Third Generation still doesn't know that the comrade he once protected is determined to kill him.

The view from the crystal ball has changed.

Then everyone found the person who looked at so many difficult questions and then... quickly solved them. The person who could solve the questions so fast must be Orochimaru!

And this person... is Kitahara Kaede.

"Eh!?" X4

The Konoha F4, including Danzo, were somewhat bewildered when they saw this scene in the crystal ball.

Since it's Orochimaru's test, Orochimaru himself would definitely answer it, so at this point only Orochimaru should be able to answer fluently. But now... why is Kitahara Kaede answering?

Because no one around him knew how to write, the area became very quiet as they watched him begin to write and listened to the sound of Kitahara Kaede's pen strokes.

Even... a little... envious.

Kitahara Kaede has already begun answering.

He is currently the only candidate in the room answering questions.

Very eye-catching.

The sound of students answering their questions was very noticeable in the exam room.

·······

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's Group (^_-)]

As long-time observers, the group members naturally noticed that Kitahara Kaede had started writing.

Tobirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: ...

Everyone noticed that Kitahara Kaede had already started writing.

Although he wrote a few swear words on the test paper at the beginning, Kitahara Kaede quickly started answering the questions.

but.

[Unmarried older single woman]: Haha, I knew I was right, Kitahara-kun is indeed a genius, this kind of question is definitely no problem for him.

As a woman who had long since clung to Kitahara Kaede's coattails, Terumi Mei was Kitahara's number one fangirl.

but.

[Tobirama Senju]: Something feels off.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama, what do you think is wrong?

[Tobirama Senju]: After observing for the past few days, do you think Kitahara Kaede is the kind of person who likes to show off?

[Big Pillar Silly]: No.

[Minato Namikaze]: Kitahara-kun is the type who doesn't move when someone else is doing the work.

[Minato Namikaze]: So it's a little strange that he's now taking the initiative to answer questions in front of everyone.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: It's not just that!

【MattKai】: What does that mean?

Through the screen, Akai could see his three disciples were bewildered. After all, even he, their master, couldn't answer these questions.

However, when Kai focused his attention on Kitahara Kaede's exam paper, he suddenly paused for a moment.

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: Guy, you've noticed, haven't you? Kitahara Kaede's answer... is different from Orochimaru's!

Kakashi joined in.

As a former genius... a 7-year-old Chunin... well, he glanced at the questions again and found that he could solve 2 of them.

But this is the limit.

It's no wonder it's Orochimaru's scroll.

However... although Kakashi had always thought Kitahara Kaede was top-notch, after comparing the answers, he realized something was off.

Kitahara Kaede's answer is wrong!

[Big Pillar Silly]: Yeah, his answer is completely different from the answers given by Orochimaru, who is sitting in the two seats behind him!

Kitahara Kaede started answering the questions 10 minutes after reading them, but Orochimaru started answering them immediately upon seeing them.

Therefore, when Kitahara Kaede started answering, Orochimaru of the Grass Ninja had already finished writing the standard answer.

There was even a question where he made some mistakes when he originally set it up, and the answer he left was also wrong, so he has now corrected it and written down the real answer.

And that would be a standard answer.

However, those in the group can see that what Kitahara Kaede is writing now... is completely different from Orochimaru's...

[Big Pillar Silly]: I'm a little confused.

[Minato Namikaze]: Confused +1

[Minato Namikaze]: I can answer about 7 questions, and the answers I get are the same as those of Lord Orochimaru.

Minato is highly intelligent and has always been a good student.

He is also very studious and enjoys researching to improve his own abilities.

Therefore, he is the type of student who excels academically.

In addition, his gentle personality led him to address the rogue ninja Orochimaru as "Lord Orochimaru."
