The teachers at the Ninja Academy were still waiting for the things Obito and Rin had prepared. They didn't chat for long on the street before parting ways, and the bored Yemo finally found something interesting to do to pass the time.

After Obito with Obito, Yemo immediately headed to the Hokage's office. Walking through the streets, he saw shops lining both sides of the road. These streets, like blood vessels, supplied blood to the entire village, and the starting point of these blood vessels was the Hokage Rock Hokage's office. It was the heart of Konoha, and every order and mission originated from here.

From the air, the entire Konoha is fan-shaped, with the Hokage Rock at the top. The high walls and village gates form an arc. The main streets are arranged vertically, and from the Hokage Rock to the high walls, the secondary streets are arranged longitudinally. The main streets are arranged horizontally and vertically, dividing the village into huge areas.

Some of these areas belong to large clans like the Hyuga and Uchiha, while others are comprised of several clans combined. Some areas serve as entertainment and shopping centers. The entire village resembles a miniature kingdom, appearing somewhat chaotic but actually quite evenly distributed.

Yemo walked straight down the street, and at the end was the Hokage's office. Looking at the shops on both sides and the ninjas walking around, you could feel the prosperity of Konoha, the first great ninja village in the Shinobi World. This was a scene that no other ninja village could see.

Looking up at the Hokage Rock, the huge faces of the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Third Hokage are carved into the cliff face, like the most loyal guardians protecting Konoha.

In the anime, the Hokage Rock initially had four faces, but the Third Hokage is still in power. Minato became the Fourth Hokage after the Third Shinobi World War, which hasn't started yet, but it's close to that point in time.

The Third Hokage's rule began with the death of the Second Hokage in the First Shinobi World War, and continued through the Second Shinobi World War until the present. If the First Hokage created Konoha, ending the Warring States period of internecine warfare among various clans, he ushered in a new era of ninja villages and nations that were interdependent.

After the First Hokage died in the Battle of the Valley of the End, Konoha, which had only been established for a short time, fell into turmoil. The Second Hokage took office and single-handedly stabilized Konoha during its most turbulent period, establishing various rules and regulations and outlining the future development direction of Konoha, making it the strongest among the major ninja villages.

The one who truly led Konoha to the throne of the number one Shinobi World was the Third Hokage. Konoha's prosperity was achieved under the Third Hokage, who led Konoha to victory in the First and Second Third Hokage, as well as the upcoming Third Shinobi World War.

Although each Shinobi World War resulted in heavy casualties for Konoha, the wars also laid the foundation for Konoha's prosperity. As the ultimate victor in each war, Konoha received compensation from the other Shinobi villages in a victorious manner. While the other Shinobi villages not only suffered heavy losses from the war but also had to pay large sums of resources in reparations, Konoha not only reaped the benefits of the war and quickly recovered its strength but also accelerated the construction and development of the village. Each Shinobi World War further solidified Konoha's position as the number one Konoha.

We've digressed a bit. Getting back to the main point, Yemo has arrived at the foot of the Hokage Rock. The Hokage's office building stands there like a sleeping beast.

Upon arriving downstairs, Yemo noticed that there were a lot of ninjas here today. Although it seemed that many ninjas usually came here to accept missions, there were far more ninjas than usual today.

Moreover, many of them were Genin weren't much older than him. They were all in small teams with their Jonin instructors, and it's no surprise that they had all signed up for the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Walking among the crowd and listening to the conversations around him, Yemo sensed something was amiss. He overheard people talking about how this Chunin Ninja Exams was unlike any other, even the grandest one in recent years.

Filled with questions, Yemo entered the building. There was a sign at the entrance indicating the Chunin Ninja Exams registration hall. Yemo didn't even need to look for it; he simply followed the sign to the registration hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, Yemo finally understood what a sea of people meant. The bustling crowd and the hundreds of square meters of registration hall were completely surrounded by numerous ninjas.

Stunned, Yemo looked at the large number of ninjas in front of him and smiled wryly. He quickly found a line that seemed to have fewer people and joined it. However, he was even more puzzled. What was going on with this Chunin Ninja Exams? Why were there so few teams signing up?

There were so many ninjas who came to register that Yemo waited in line for more than an hour before finally getting to the front of the line. The person in charge of registering was a female ninja with some freckles and a slightly chubby face.

The female ninja Genin slightly surprised by Yemo's age, noting how young he was as a genin. Recovering quickly, she maintained her smile, took out a registration form, and pushed it in front of Yemo, saying, "Please fill in your team, instructor, and team members on this list in order."

"Thank you, beautiful sister!"

Yemo said sweetly, based on her experience from her previous life, as long as it wasn't a woman in her thirties or forties, or a little kid younger than herself, calling any girl "beautiful" was always the right thing to do. Sure enough, when the female ninja heard Yemo call her "beautiful," a happy smile appeared on her face.

After glancing at the registration form, Yemo tiptoed and quickly filled it out with a pen. The platform was built quite high, and Yemo had to stand on tiptoe to reach it. In less than half a minute, he finished filling it out under the stunned gaze of the female ninja.

While somewhat surprised by how quickly Yemo filled out the form, the female ninja picked it up and glanced at it, then froze, taking a long time to react.

A wry smile appeared on her pretty face as she said softly, "Little friend, you haven't finished filling it out yet. You haven't filled in your teammate's information." No wonder she filled it out so quickly; she had only filled in his information.

Shaking his head, Yemo stood on tiptoe and said, "Beautiful sister, I don't have any teammates, I'm all alone."

Hearing Yemo's words, the female ninja was taken aback, not believing it. Every Genin was assigned to a team upon graduating from the Ninja Academy and then placed under the guidance of Jonin. Not to mention her, even the ninjas who came to register were somewhat surprised to look at Yemo.

Some Genin watched Yemo with amusement. They were all quite surprised to see Yemo, who was so young, come to register. Now, after hearing what Yemo said, they were even more convinced that this was just a kid from the Ninja Academy causing trouble. Some Jonin looked at Yemo and fell into deep thought.

However, judging from Yemo's expression, he didn't seem to be lying, and there seemed to be no need to lie about this kind of question. Thinking to himself, "Where did this mischievous little devil come from?" he said, "Little friend, you didn't fill in your teammates and instructors..."

"Yes, beautiful sister, I filled in my mentor at the bottom," Yemo said, pointing to the mentor section at the very bottom of the registration form.

The female ninja had just glanced at the team information panel at the top and hadn't looked at the bottom yet. Now that Yemo mentioned it, she looked down and saw that the instructor had indeed filled in the information. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Orochimaru was listed as the instructor's name.

Upon seeing these three words, the female ninja was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god!" This shout attracted the curious gazes of the surrounding ninjas, who, seeing the utterly astonished female ninja, wondered what had happened.

After a long while, the female ninja finally reacted, turned around and looked at Yemo, who was only showing a small head, and exclaimed in surprise, "You are Lord Orochimaru's only disciple, Yemo Uzumaki of the Uzumaki Family."

"Beautiful lady, didn't you even look at my name?" One can only imagine the extent of Yemo's psychological trauma at this moment; it turns out she hadn't even looked at her own name.

Hearing Yemo's words, the female ninja smiled awkwardly. She looked down at the registration form and, sure enough Yemo Uzumaki's name was there. She had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't looked closely at it.

The female ninja's voice wasn't quiet; because of her surprise, it was very loud, and everyone heard it. As a result, many ninjas in the registration hall looked at Yemo in astonishment, and most of the Genin were sizing Yemo, wondering what this genius who could make Lord Orochimaru's heart flutter looked like.

"He's nothing special, just an ordinary person. Why would Lord Orochimaru take him as a disciple?"

"Who knows? Maybe he used some connections. You know, even those clan disciples wouldn't give Lord Orochimaru a second glance."

"Don't underestimate him. Just the fact that he became Genin at his age is extraordinary. And I seem to have heard that he didn't even attend the Ninja Academy; he was directly promoted to Genin by the Lord Hokage."

"Really? Is he that powerful? That the Lord Hokage himself needs to investigate?"

Immediately, the numerous Genin began to discuss among themselves. Some were curious, some were surprised, some were indifferent, and naturally, some were jealous... In short, all eyes were on Yemo.

Yemo didn't care about the stares around him. He wasn't the kind of person who wanted everyone's attention. All he wanted right now was for the beautiful woman in front of him to help him register so he could participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams.

But ideals are beautiful, reality is cruel. The female ninja said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yemo Uzumaki, you still can't sign up!"

"Why!"

Upon hearing this, Yemo exclaimed in confusion, "All these Genin can sign up, so why can't I?"
