I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Kurama]: First of all, let's get this straight. Although you look down on the Tailed Beasts, their lives are far stronger than yours.

[Nine Lama]: If I am considered a life form, then I have lived for a thousand years.

[Big Pillar Silly]: A thousand years?

Hashirama was surprised because in his memory, the Nine-Tails and other tailed beasts had always existed.

And his Konoha hasn't even been around for a hundred years.

【Nine Lamas】: Perhaps longer than a thousand years.

【Kurama】: The original name of the old man of the Six Paths is Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Everyone else fell silent while the Nine Lamas was speaking.

So everyone listened together as Nine-Tailed Fox told stories of the past.

·····

The Nine-Tailed Fox tells the story of the Six Paths Era, which is unknown to most people.

In Kurama's understanding, the chakra of modern people was actually given by the Sage of Six Paths, which is why the Sage of Six Paths is called the progenitor of the ninja world.

Therefore, he is also known as the Sage of Six Paths.

The Tailed Beasts are actually a collection of chakra sealed within the Sage of Six Paths.

Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths was the first Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast.

But the Sage of Six Paths died, so he released the Tailed Beasts, which led to the current situation.

The tailed beasts were all turned into weapons for the various villages.

"So, the tailed beasts and humans coexisting..."

"Fake, it's all fake!"

Nine-Tails remembers the words of the people who talked to her.

[The Nine-Tails is merely a creature lacking intelligence, only capable of being controlled by humans.] by Uchiha Madara

[Nine-Tails, your power is too great; I must seal you away.] by Hashirama Senju

[Nine-Tails, your existence brings misfortune to the world.] by Mito Uzumaki

[You can destroy the world, but I can control you.] by Kushina Uzumaki.

[Although I became a Jinchūriki halfway through, Kurama hopes you'll behave.] by Ehina Namikaze.

When the Sage of Six Paths released them, he said that one day the Tailed Beasts and humans would be able to understand each other and live together.

However, as things stand, the Tailed Beasts... are merely enslaved beings.

···

Although Kurama revealed secrets about the Sage of Six Paths and expressed his hopes for the Tailed Beasts and humanity.

But this kind of thing... is ultimately just an ideal.

Because, at present, the tailed beasts are still only used as weapons.

So that's not what Tobirama was concerned with.

Anyway, he never considered using the Nine-Tails as a weapon.

[Tobirama Senju]: So, what was the Otsutsuki era...?

[Might Guy]: I'm also curious. If the Sage of Six Paths' name is Otsutsuki, does that mean there are many other Sages of Six Paths?

[Nine Lama]: I'm not quite sure.

[Nine Lama]: After I gained consciousness, I only saw the life of the old man of the Six Paths.

【Nine Lama】: But what if an era truly arrives with many old men of the Six Paths of Hell?

It paused for a moment.

[Nine-Ra]: Then the ninja world can't beat them.

[Nine-Ra]: You may not know this, but decades later, the strength of ninjas has actually declined a lot.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: ...

Does this mean they are weak?

However, Mei Terumi agreed, because both the First and Second Hokage had excessive amounts of chakra. It was like using cheat codes.

So even she is a coward.

Then I had no choice but to cling to Kitahara Kaede's thigh.

But now, isn't it right to cling to a powerful figure?

[Unmarried Older Single Woman]: So, Nine-Tails, you said that Kitahara-kun's strength was at the Six Paths level, right?

【Nine Lama】: This is the feeling I get from him.

【Nine Lama】: But the old man of the Six Paths has been dead for too long, so I can't tell if there are any errors in his perception.

···

Oh, I see... Everyone was a little disappointed for a moment.

It's because in the future we will encounter attacks from many people with top-tier strength, similar to the Sage of Six Paths.

How terrifying that must be.

[Minato Namikaze]: However, I believe in my Mingbao!

[Minato Namikaze]: Didn't Kitahara-kun say that Naruho could be nurtured?

[Tobirama Senju]: That's true. If Naruto only uses taijutsu, he's probably equivalent to 0.8 Kakashi.

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: ...

For a moment, Kakashi doubted whether his genius status was genuine.

Why did it become a unit of measurement for strength?

[Nine-Ra: Hmph... But you should be worried about that brat Kitahara Kaede now.]

[Kurama]: I see now, he's being targeted by Orochimaru.

[Nine Lama]: I've seen that kind of look before, it's... the look of wanting to possess it.

"..."

[Big Pillar Silly]: Oh, right.

·····

Orochimaru is indeed looking at Kitahara Kaede right now.

Kitahara Kaede turned around and glanced at the Kusanagi ninja.

"Is there anything unusual?" Naruto asked.

“No,” Kitahara Kaede said. “By the way, it seems Sasuke has woken up.”

Has Sasuke... woken up?

Naruto quickly ran to the corner and put Sasuke, who had been unconscious the whole way, there.

Sasuke braced himself against the ground with one hand and then opened his eyes.

"I am..."

He quickly touched his eyes, "Could it be..."

"Congratulations on your advancement to the double-tomoe Sharingan."

Kitahara Kaede handed Sasuke a small mirror.

"So, I've become stronger!?" Sasuke immediately stared at his reflection in the mirror, noticing that his eyes had completely changed.

He could feel that although his body was a little more tired, the ease and flexibility he felt were completely different from before.

In other words.

When the Sharingan's eye techniques are improved, will the body's stats also improve?

Previously, because Sasuke's number of shadow clones was less than Naruto's, Naruto had caught up with him in taijutsu.

But now... Sasuke feels like he's... back to normal.

So he quickly grabbed the mirror with both hands and looked at it from left to right.

···

While keeping an eye on Sasuke, Kitahara Kaede also kept an eye on Orochimaru, the Grass Ninja, not far away.

It is a pity.

Sasuke's Sharingan went directly from a single tomoe to a two-tomoe Sharingan.

but!

Orochimaru showed no reaction.

"..."

This shows that Orochimaru is different from the original work; his focus isn't on Sasuke, is it?

So... Orochimaru's only focus... is on him, right?

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede felt that a peaceful life was quite nice, but if someone came to cause trouble, she had to deal with it a little more seriously.

His mission from the Third Hokage was to find and keep an eye on Orochimaru.

Now that we've confirmed Orochimaru's target is him, then... as long as we stay here, Orochimaru won't leave.

So we just need to wait for the reinforcements from the third generation to arrive.

However, given the Third Hokage's personality, even if Orochimaru appeared, he most likely wouldn't kill him.

So it's simply a waste of time for this awkward master and apprentice relationship.

········

Kitahara Kaede stopped paying attention to Orochimaru.

He walked up to the second floor of the central tower.

The sky was gradually darkening, but perhaps because it was approaching evening, the setting sun shone brightly, adding color to the sky. Combined with the excessively green forest, it created a unique beauty.

If you're just looking to watch the sunset, this is a great spot.

However, there were already people on the second floor.

It's three people.

From left to right, they are all Jonin from Konoha.

Mitarashi Anko was the chief examiner for the second exam, and Nara Shikamaru and his fellow Jonin Sarutobi Asuma were also there to guide them.

And then... there's also Hinata's Jonin instructor for Team 10 - Kurenai Yuhi.

"The two of us came here first."

"Red's idea is that since Orochimaru is impersonating a test-taker, it's highly possible he's already completed the exam."

"It turned out that we didn't rush to the outer perimeter but went straight to the central tower, and we actually made the right choice."

"That grass ninja is the Orochimaru that the Third Hokage mentioned," Asuma said.

“Orochimaru…” Anko paused for a moment.

Red Bean's former teacher was Orochimaru.
