Chapter 217
At the main gate of Leaf Village, the gatekeepers are Leaf Gate Guardians's Kamizuki Izumo, Kagetsu Tetsu.
These two incredibly powerful figures, whom even Pain dared not enter through the gate, still stand with their backs to the people of Konoha, guarding the Konoha's gates.
Then, upon seeing Li Yue, their eyes widened immediately.
"Quickly! Notify the Lord Hokage, it's Lord Otsutsuki Butler, who has returned!"
Kamizuki Izumo immediately nodded, then put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and ran like a ninja towards the Hokage Building, while Kagetsu Tetsu quickly ran to Li Yue's side.
"Master Butler, welcome back."
This is a super big shot who can use Wood Style and pin all the Konoha ninjas to the ground with a single kick. Although he didn't know where he had gone before, he has now returned, and he must be careful in receiving him.
Li Yue nodded with an arrogant expression.
"Hmm, how has my useless and incompetent clan leader been while I was away?"
"Forehead..."
Kagetsu Tetsu's expression froze for a moment before he immediately spoke.
"The Uchiha... oh no, the Otsutsuki clan head has already graduated from the Ninja Academy. He was the top graduate this year and immediately completed many missions after graduation, including an S-rank mission."
"Oh? An S-rank mission?"
"In a recent mission, he single-handedly defeated Momochi Zabuza from the Land of Water. The Lord Hokage believed that this mission was rank S, so the Otsutsuki clan leader was the first ninja among this year's graduates to complete an S-rank mission."
"Heh~ Although he's useless and incompetent, at least his performance is still bearable."
Li Yue nodded slightly in appreciation, but what she said made Kagetsu Tetsu's lips twitch, because this phrase had become very popular in Konoha recently.
"Where is that useless and incompetent clan leader? Take me to him."
"Um, the Otsutsuki leader should be taking the Chunin Exam right now."
"The Chunin Exam?"
"Yes, the second round of the Chunin Exam Konoha."
Chunin Exam? It's already this late?
The second event, the Forest of Death, involves Sasuke encountering Orochimaru. Orochimaru originally wanted Sasuke's body, so he placed the Curse Mark of Heaven on Sasuke. However, this time, Sasuke has abandoned his ninja powers and used the power of the Bleach. It remains to be seen what will happen when he encounters Orochimaru.
"Take me to the examination hall and tell me about the situation in Konoha during this time."
"Uh, yes!"
Kagetsu Tetsu sent a signal to the patrolling ANBU who received the signal to take over the gatekeeping duties, and then led Li Yue through the gates of Konoha.
Along the way, as Kagetsu Tetsu led Li Yue toward the Forest of Death, he also told Li Yue about Sasuke and Konoha's situation over the past few months. After all, Li Yue was now the strongest in Konoha, the kind of person even the Hokage wouldn't dare to raise his voice at.
After Li Yue left, Sasuke returned to the Ninja Academy. As a top student with only two months left before graduation, Sasuke, having obtained the power of the Bleach, became the strongest in the school. Although he was already the strongest, the other students in the school could still hold their own against him, throwing kunai or playing around with Taijutsu.
However, after Sasuke obtained the power of the Bleach, the students in the school were completely unable to face him. Except for a few students, the rest of the students could not even stand up in front of Sasuke. The Reiatsu was too strong to restrain the ninjas.
So Sasuke became the most powerful person in the school, even disregarding the teachers, who were helpless against him. Iruka could only leave him alone. Sasuke would constantly use the phrase "useless and incompetent," which was how Li Yue had initially criticized him. Then he started using the same phrase to criticize other students, such as Naruto!
This is why Kagetsu Tetsu's lips twitched when he heard Li Yue call him a piece of trash and incompetent; that line was Sasuke.
But Sasuke of Li Yue's swearing did not lower his popularity; on the contrary, it made him even more popular at school, and many people even started to imitate him.
Even after graduation, the class assignments remained the same: Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, with Kakashi still as their team leader.
Kakashi, as always, tried to steal the bell, but unfortunately, Sasuke couldn't defeat Kakashi.
Although he obtained the power of the Bleach, he was not trained by Li Yue for a long time, so he knew very few things. For example, he did not know Kido. He only knew Flash Step, Zanjutsu, and Reiatsu release. Of course, he knew the most important Zanpakuto release.
However, his combat experience was still too weak, and his Reiatsu was at most at the level of a low- Seated Officer. So, after Kakashi withstood the Reiatsu and took out his Sharingan to enter serious mode, the inexperienced Sasuke still lost.
After that, he joined a team to carry out missions, such as catching cats and dogs and pulling weeds. Then came the classic Land of Waves storyline. After losing to Kakashi, Sasuke trained hard and improved his combat skills. Then, using his Bleach power, he used the First Encounter Kill to kill Momochi Zabuza without giving him a second chance.
And now, he is participating in this Chunin Exam as the chief.
Compared to the previous Chunin Exam which only included the Land of Fire Land of Wind, the Land of Rain, the Nation of Grass, and the Sound Village, this time the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning have also joined.
Of course, the reason they joined this Chunin Exam wasn't really for the Chunin Exam themselves; they were there for Sasuke.
Before leaving, Li Yue declared that anyone, regardless of nationality, could become Sasuke's wife, the wife of the Otsutsuki clan's patriarch, and receive Li Yue's protection, as long as they gained Li Yue's approval.
This temptation is far greater than the Chunin Exam!
Therefore, apart from the Land of Water, which had not yet completely cleaned itself up, the other three large villages all sent people to participate.
The key point is to see if the news of Otsutsuki Sasuke World Marriage is true, and whether it is true that the Otsutsuki Butler possesses powerful Wood Style Ninjutsu!
After all, Wood Style is far too powerful a deterrent to the ninja world.
"That's roughly the situation, Butler. This is the Forest of Death."
As they were talking, Kagetsu Tetsu had already brought Li Yue to the outside of the Forest of Death.
"It's the fourth day of the second exam, and the exam is almost over. Would you like to wait here for a bit, or..."
Kagetsu Tetsu didn't dare to ask Li Yue anything, so he could only ask tentatively.
"You can go now. I'll wait here for a bit, because your village chief is coming."
"Village head?"
Kagetsu Tetsu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"So you mean the Lord Hokage, I understand."
Kagetsu Tetsu stepped back slightly, then instantly disappeared from the spot. Less than a minute after Kagetsu Tetsu vanished, a figure appeared behind Li Yue.
"Looks like the Fifth Hokage hasn't been chosen yet. You'll have to be the village chief, kid."
Li Yue spoke without turning her head.
"I'm sorry, butler, none of my disciples have returned, so I have to temporarily assume the position of Hokage."
The newcomer was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Village Leader of Leaf Village, who was dressed in the Hokage's uniform and explained with a helpless expression.
"Let's go, take me to the examination hall. I want to see if my useless and incompetent clan leader has grown even a little bit in the past few months."
Li Yue didn't say much, and directly gave the order, to which Hiruzen Sarutobi helplessly.
"I understand, please follow me."
388. I'm here to help with your wedding.
The second round of the Chunin Exam took place in the Forest of Death.
It was here that Sasuke came into contact with Orochimaru and was given the Curse Mark of Heaven. Under Orochimaru's temptation, he wanted to leave Konoha in pursuit of power.
But now, after Li Yue appeared, Sasuke will still pursue power, but he definitely doesn't care about Orochimaru's power at all.
The tower in the center of the Forest of Death is the final destination of the Second Chunin Exam. Those who obtain the Heaven and Earth Scrolls and then arrive at the tower will pass the Second Chunin Exam.
There's an interesting detail: in the original storyline, Sasuke and his two companions obtained the scrolls and opened them together at the tower. Then, Iruka Umino appeared in the middle of the scrolls. Opening two scrolls allows someone to appear—what's that called? That's called summoning teleportation!
Good heavens, what incredible black technology! Even the Flying Thunder God Technique can teleport, only a handful of people can actually use it. How many of these scrolls are there? This is a mass-produced product, made at will! Mass-produced teleportation scrolls, invincible in Konoha!
Li Yue was taken by the Third Hokage to a tower in the Forest of Death, where she met Team 7 had already reached the tower.
"Ah! It's you, that arrogant butler!"
The moment Naruto saw Li Yue, he pointed at Li Yue and started yelling.
"Naruto, you can't be rude!"
Kakashi quickly pressed Naruto's head down with one hand and apologized to Li Yue.
"I'm sorry, Butler, this child isn't very bright."
This guy is ruthless enough to hang up the entire Konoha and whip it all by himself. Naruto, are you out of your mind?!
"I'm so sorry, Butler, Naruto is just being unreasonable!"
Sakura also helped explain from the side. Although she usually disliked Naruto, now that she was a member of the team, she still hoped that Naruto would be alright.
"Hmph, this kind of brainless guy can't say a single nice word. There's no need to pay him any attention."
Sasuke his arms and spoke coldly, but Kakashi could tell that he was speaking up for Naruto.
"But you, you suddenly ran away, leaving me with a ton of trouble, and only now you're back. Is this how you act as a housekeeper?"
Sasuke was filled with resentment towards Li Yue for leaving without saying goodbye for several months. He had finally found someone who claimed to be the butler of his clan, which was almost like adding a family member to Sasuke family. However, after only knowing him for a few days, this family member ran away and then disappeared for several months. This really made him feel unhappy.
"Heh~~"
Li Yue sneered as she watched Sasuke strutting around with his arms crossed.
"It's precisely because you're useless and incompetent that I'm leaving. This way, I can make you understand that if you don't work hard, you'll always be useless!"
#!
They've hardened, their fists have hardened, that familiar feeling is back, and the first thing they say upon returning is that they're useless and incompetent!
Even if you try your best, you'll most likely still be a loser.
Blanch!
Otsutsuki Sasuke's eyelids twitched violently.
Hold on, Sasuke, you have to hold on, you can't beat him!
"Haha~~"
Sakura also stood by Sasuke's side, trying her best to comfort him. After all, even she could see that Sasuke was trembling with anger after Li Yue's two words.
"So, Butler, what brings you back this time?"
Kakashi noticed that the topic had shifted away from Naruto, so he simply started a new one.
"Of course, it's for this useless and incompetent clan leader."
Li Yue looked at Sasuke with disdain.
"As I said before, anyone who can gain my approval can become the wife of the Otsutsuki clan's patriarch. I have made my promise, so I will naturally keep it. Therefore, after I go out for a while, I will naturally resolve this matter when I come back."
"So, you're here to resolve Sasuke's marriage problem!?"
Upon hearing Li Yue's words, Sakura immediately screamed with joy.
"That's right. He is currently the only member of the Otsutsuki, so he represents the Otsutsuki. If the Otsutsuki is to continue, he must get married and have children."
Sasuke looked at Li Yue speechlessly. Li Yue had mentioned this matter in front of the entire Leaf Village, causing the whole ninja world to know about it. This caused him a lot of trouble for a while afterward. Every day at the academy, he was surrounded by a large group of girls. But as Li Yue disappeared for longer and longer, he felt that the matter was over and he didn't need to care about it anymore.
As a result, this was the very thing Li Yue had to do after switching back, which left him speechless.
He has finally graduated from school and gained great power. Now he only wants to gain even more power so that he can kill Uchiha Itachi. He has no time to care about marriage!
"Cough cough cough~~"
The Third Hokage, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but cough twice to make his presence known after hearing everyone's words.
"So, Sasuke, do you have someone you like?"
Apart from Li Yue, everyone present looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in shock.
"Third Hokage, you... you care about this kind of thing too?"
Kakashi stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi in shock. He hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would still care about something like this.
"Ahem, after all, I'm getting older, so I tend to care more about things that young people do, and that's why I'm more interested in these kinds of things."
The Third Hokage explained with a smile, because he did care about this matter very much.
After all, Sasuke now has Li Yue standing behind him. Li Yue's existence puts immense pressure on Konoha. He single-handedly suppresses an entire village and has even declared that Sasuke's wife can come from any village.
As the village chief of Leaf Village, the Third Hokage naturally hoped that Sasuke could find his future wife in his own village, rather than someone from another village.
If we find someone from another village, and with Li Yue's protection, it wouldn't be good if the Uchiha bloodline spread to other villages!
As soon as she said this, Sakura looked at Sasuke. She also wanted to know if Sasuke had someone he liked, or rather, she wanted to know if Sasuke had taken a liking to her.
"I..."
"It doesn't matter who he takes a liking to; it's up to me who will become the clan chief's wife."
Sasuke was about to speak when Li Yue interrupted him, leaving Sasuke speechless, and everyone present stared at Li Yue in disbelief.
I've forgotten what the butler said before—that I had to get his approval. But now it seems that getting his approval is all that's needed; I don't even need to care whether Sasuke is willing or not.
As for whether Sasuke would be unwilling, they were certain that even if Sasuke was unwilling, it would be useless, because he couldn't win.
"So, Mr. Butler, have you taken a fancy to anyone?"
