Very soon.

Apart from the Sand Village, which did not participate in this Chunin Exam for various reasons, the participating shinobi from all other ninja villages had arrived. Even the smaller ninja villages, like the Star Village and Grass Village, had sent their shinobi.

Therefore, with so many people, passing by the milk tea shop and the yakiniku restaurant... I wanted to eat.

Fu You also made a lot of money during this time, and incidentally, his reputation grew. He thought that by now... he should be able to directly expand his businesses into other countries in this era of underdeveloped commerce.

Moreover, he was still a little short of leveling up. His turnover had increased significantly with the operation of the yakiniku restaurant. He wondered what the next industry sector would be?

And today.

The joint Chunin Exam begins!

At the same time, the morning's intelligence (cheating) exam had ended, and the shinobi who had advanced to the next round were now being led by Konoha examiners into the renowned Forest of Death in the Ninja World!

After an explanation.

Obito understood that on that night, they had simply gone out for ramen. It was just because he had seemed eager to drink milk tea that Rin hadn't called him.

Therefore, it was all a misunderstanding!

And he hadn't made it clear to Rin... what he wanted was to accompany Rin, not to actually eat or drink anything.

If it weren't for Rin... he wouldn't want that detestable guy to earn even a single cent from Uchiha Obito!

It was too much of a bullying!

At this moment.

"Clap clap clap~" A round of applause sounded, attracting the attention of the group of shinobi who were boasting about how easy the exam was and how they could have passed with their eyes closed.

"I am the chief examiner for the second stage, Orochimaru."

As he spoke.

The genin candidates present were all stunned, staring at the effeminate-looking man.

A legend of the Ninja World!

One of Konoha's Legendary Sannin!

Lord Orochimaru!

Even Asuma and Obito, who had been walking with extreme arrogance, were taken aback, "Lord Orochimaru?"

Why was he here?

Wasn't he out on patrol?

But Orochimaru didn't seem to explain to these genin why he had specifically rushed back at this time. Instead, he licked his lips and said with a sinister smile, "This exam is very simple. You just need to pass through this forest within three days."

As he spoke.

Everyone was stunned again. It sounded too easy!

However.

"But, someone complained earlier that it was too simple, so you should all know that I have a summon called the Giant Snake..."

"?!"

Upon hearing the Giant Snake, everyone couldn't help but shiver. After all, it was a powerful summon from one of the legendary Three Great Sage Regions, the kind that could swallow children in one bite!

"Don't be nervous, you're not being asked to defeat the Giant Snake or anything like that. Of course, if you can do it, I'll be very happy!" Orochimaru smiled gently, looking at the now quiet genin, and continued, "I've placed 22 stone tablets with the Giant Snake. Yes, just as you thought, as long as you obtain the stone tablets from the Giant Snake and bring them out of the forest, you will pass. So..." He licked his tongue, "For Team 44, only 22 of you will pass~"

Then, ignoring the nearly collapsing shinobi, he said with a smile, "So, those who agree to proceed with the exam, come forward and sign the death waiver. Those who are afraid can still withdraw!"

As he spoke.

Silence fell all around.

Hearing the name Giant Snake, some shinobi began to hesitate.

After all, people could actually die!

However.

At this moment.

A black-haired young man wearing the Uchiha clan crest stepped forward!

"Don't joke around! I'm the man who will become Hokage, how can I give up my ninja way here!" Obito said firmly, raising his fist, "If you're scared of even this, why become a shinobi? Where do I sign? Before I become Hokage, this great me will absolutely not die!"

Instantly.

The shinobi from other villages seemed to be infected by his foolishness.

"That's right, if you don't even have the courage to participate in the exam, what kind of shinobi are you?"

"Only the weak choose to run away!"

"That guy looks foolish, but I didn't expect him to say something so reasonable!"

"Hey, hey! Who said that? Step forward, you Uchiha Obito!"

"Idiot!"

"Damn it, Kakashi, if you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one!"

"Get lost!"

Everyone's spirits immediately soared. Only the Cloud Shinobi... looking at Obito, who was different from a few days ago, their hearts sank. "As expected... we were all deceived by him!"

They exchanged glances and nodded implicitly, as if they had made a decision!

From then on, no one who remained said anything more. They signed waivers and, under the arrangement of the Konoha Shinobi, resolutely entered the Forest of Death.

Obito's team also split from Asuma's team.

"I will definitely pass!" Obito, who had believed in love again, had returned to being a simpleton. He looked confidently at Kakashi, "Just lie down and wait, Kakashi!"

"Idiot!" Kakashi rolled his eyes. "If I don't use that move... I'll let you have one hand, believe it or not?"

However.

Suddenly.

Kakashi's expression changed, and he looked around with a grave expression.

"What's wrong? Kakashi," Obito walked over curiously. "Scared?"

"Shut up!" Kakashi ignored him, still staring at their surroundings, and said in a low voice, "We're surrounded!"

As he spoke.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

Kakashi and Obito's expressions changed. They turned their heads to look at the source of the explosion, which was less than three meters from Rin!

"Rin!" x2

Amidst their cries, Rin was sent flying.

"Not bad, it seems the medical ninja handled it! You truly are the exemplary Hatake Kakashi! I've heard of your reputation." A playful laugh came from a tree. "Compared to that idiot, I believe you are the true genius!"

At this moment.

Kakashi and Obito, hearing the voice, immediately looked up and saw the person standing on the tree.

A Cloud Shinobi!

And...

"It's you!" Obito's eyes turned red, his expression seemingly twisted. He glared at him furiously, "Bastard! What did you do! I'm going to kill you!"

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred. This was the same Cloud Shinobi who had ambushed him and kicked him away at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant last time when he wasn't paying attention!

And Rin... she was injured!

Although she wasn't dead!

She had recovered, but she was injured!

"Obito, I'm fine! Calm down!" Rin said, her face pale, clutching her right arm. "It's a minor injury, it's already been treated!"

However, "Uchiha Obito! Everyone says you're a genius," Amu looked at Obito, still provocatively disdainful. "But I, Amu, don't believe it! I originally wanted to fight you, but unfortunately, time is pressing, and I won't play with you anymore! Today, Konoha's genius will die here!"

As he spoke.

"Swish swish~" Several figures appeared, surrounding the three of them with over a dozen people. The headbands... even included ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village!

"Don't waste time, attack!"

Instantly.

Obito's expression also turned serious. Kakashi stood back-to-back, protecting the injured Rin. "Damn it! Cloud Shinobi, Mist Shinobi, I will definitely beat you all soundly!"

"Heh heh, still talking tough?" Amu said disdainfully. "Is it that hidden ninjutsu? I heard you're hiding a very powerful ninjutsu, use it!"

As he spoke.

It was now Kakashi and Rin's turn to change their expressions.

"Obito, you..."

But before they could finish, they saw Obito's eyes turn red. Filled with anger, he stared intently at the Cloud Shinobi.

He was seen muttering in a low voice, "Teacher, I'm sorry!"

"Ah-choo!"

"Brother Minato, caught a cold?" Fukutomi looked at Minato across from him, then took the 30,000 he had played. "A pair! Your luck isn't great today! You can't even beat the Nine-Tails!"

Although the Nine-Tails hadn't appeared, it was controlling Kushina. The two of them cooperated, leading to multiple "critical hits," which almost drove Kushina crazy.

But the Nine-Tails was too noisy.

If she didn't play according to its wishes, it would pester Kushina by her ear, which was too annoying!

What a bad beast, with such big ambitions!

"No, I just felt a sudden stuffiness in my heart! Maybe I've been playing for too long." Minato smiled helplessly, stretched, and then looked at the cards in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up. "Fukutomi, it looks like it's my turn to win this round~"

The words fell.

Draw!

Instantly, his eyes lit up, and he held his breath. Just as he was about to push his cards away.

Suddenly.

A shinobi ran in, his face filled with panic.

"Minato! You're here!" The Konoha Jonin saw Minato and immediately grabbed his hand excitedly. "Come on, come on! Hurry and come with me to the Forest of Death!"

"What's wrong? I'm off today!" Minato looked at the Jonin in confusion. "Did someone have an emergency and need me to cover for them?"

"No! No one has an emergency! No, no, no! It's you who has something going on! Minato, you have something going on!"

"???"

What's going on with me?

Did I lose too much money?

While Minato was still confused, the shinobi said exaggeratedly and excitedly, "They're on a killing spree! Minato! Your disciples are on a killing spree!"

"Huh?"
