Konoha: The female ninja's life collapsed after the diary was exposed.

Why is Naruto Uzumaki, that brat from Konoha, here?

other side,

And why would they attack themselves?

Maki's eyes widened as he tried to make a sound.

Unfortunately,

With his heart pierced, he quickly lost all signs of life.

After killing Maki, Naruto Uzumaki also took care of two Sunagakure ANBU members hiding in a house.

After cleaning up the scene, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from the spot.

After finishing his diary entry today, Naruto Uzumaki focused most of his attention on the system's rewards, but he also kept abreast of Temari's situation.

He had already sensed it the moment Temari went to find Maki.

To ensure the plan's success, Naruto naturally wouldn't allow Maki, who knew the truth, to continue living.

"Orochimaru, Maki discovered your identity, and I've already taken care of him."

Naruto Uzumaki appeared out of nowhere next to Orochimaru and spoke.

The other person has the Flying Thunder God mark he left on them.

Therefore,

Through the Flying Thunder God Technique,

He can teleport to Orochimaru's side at any time.

"I see."

"I'll handle the rest."

Orochimaru was only slightly surprised by Naruto's sudden appearance at first, but quickly returned to normal.

He had already discovered that he had the Flying Thunder God mark on his body.

only,

Orochimaru didn't seem to care much.

As long as he wants,

This body can be discarded at any time through the Reincarnation of the Undead.

Regarding Maki

Orochimaru didn't ask any further questions.

In his eyes, Naruto Uzumaki harbored too many secrets.

I'm not strong enough right now.

It's best not to meddle in other people's business.

"Temari is my friend, don't lay a hand on her."

Naruto Uzumaki thought for a moment and said.

Although Temari didn't appear in anything in the original work, things might be different now.

Therefore,

He felt it necessary to remind the other party.

"Hehehe... Naruto-kun, you really always manage to surprise me."

Orochimaru's gaze toward Naruto was somewhat complicated.

The other person is like that.

I can't believe I care about so-called friends.

This was quite unexpected for him.

but,

Orochimaru nodded.

"Don't worry, I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Konoha Village.

Central Arena.

"This Chunin Exam is finally coming to its final round. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Yes, those who made it this far are all the best of the new generation in the ninja world."

"The Uchiha clan's genius orphan, the Hyuga clan's genius siblings, the Kazekage's child, the Tsuchikage's granddaughter... I wonder who will have the last laugh."

In the stands,

It was already packed with people.

now,

Almost everyone was excitedly discussing the upcoming Chunin Exams.

after all,

The lineup for this year's Chunin Exams is truly amazing.

Even the lords of various countries were alarmed.

Such a grand occasion

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-century event.

In the center of the arena,

The best seats in the stands,

Several men dressed in splendid attire, surrounded by guards, watched the crowd inside chatting and laughing.

These are the daimyo of the five most powerful countries in the ninja world.

"Oh ho ho~~~ I really didn't expect that a ninja promotion exam could be held in such a grand manner."

"Yes, they're just a bunch of the lowest of tools, yet the scene is quite grand."

"Don't say that. If the venue is too shabby, it won't be very interesting for us to look at."

"If these guys can please me, I might consider increasing this year's financial support."

"I advise you not to have too high hopes; it's just a contest among a bunch of low-level ninja."

"Speaking of which, it seems that all 680 ninjas from the Land of Lightning were eliminated in the second exam. That's quite funny."

"Hmph! These brainless bastards, I'll cut their funding this year when I get back!"

"Indeed, they should be punished for embarrassing us."

The five famous figures chatted and laughed in the stands.

Compared to the tense relationships between the various ninja villages, they didn't have much animosity.

after all,

Compared to ninjas,

They are more like businessmen.

As long as it provides benefits, there are no permanent enemies.

On the opposite side of the stands where the daimyo was located were the positions of high-ranking officials such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Rasa, and Onoki.

now,

They were all dressed in the shadow robes of their respective villages, and wore straw hats symbolizing "shadow" on their heads, quietly waiting for the start of the final exam.

Below the arena,

Hinata Hyuga, Lee, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, and others have all adjusted themselves to their best condition.

No matter who our opponent is later,

This time,

With so many people watching

They must show their talent.

Compared to Konoha ninjas like Hinata Hyuga, ninjas from other villages were relatively quiet.

their gaze,

Most of the attention was focused on Naruto Uzumaki, who was yawning boredly to the side.

With this freak around,

They had absolutely no hope of winning.

Chapter 76: The Showdown Between the Underachiever and the Genius Ninja!

As time passed, a melodious bell rang out.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, gave a brief speech.

This also signifies that,

The final test of the Chunin Exams

it has started!

As the referee, Hayate Moonlight appeared in the center of the arena with a teleportation technique.

"The rules for this exam are 1v1 battles, and the two sides will be randomly selected."

"Win and advance to the next round."

"Until the top three are decided."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if we fail."

"The results of this battle will be determined based on the ninjas' overall performance in the fight."

"This means that if you perform well in a battle, even if you lose, you may still be promoted to Chunin."

After briefly explaining the rules of the exam, Moonlight Gale raised his right arm.

"I hereby declare... the exam is now beginning!"

As Moonlight Gale finished speaking, the names of the candidates participating in this assessment began to scroll rapidly on the large screen above the arena.

"Hahaha... I wonder which two people will be facing off in the first match. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Whoever it is, they're sure to deliver a fantastic match, right?"

"I love these simple and straightforward rules. Battles based on pure skill are what make them exciting!"

As Moonlight Gale announced the start of the exam...

The audience in the stands also became excited.

quickly,

The large screen stopped scrolling.

Two huge names appeared in the center of the screen.

Naruto Uzumaki VS Rock Lee!

Upon seeing these two names, Shino Aburame, Suigetsu Hozuki, Kankuro, and the others, who had been somewhat nervous, all breathed a long sigh of relief.

That's great.

I successfully avoided that freak in the first round.

That guy named Rock Lee,

That's really pitiful.

Everyone silently mourned for Rock Lee for a minute.
