Five Kage Gather! The Exam Begins!

Chunin Ninja Exams.

Adjacent to the Forest of Death, a massive venue appeared.

The sun shone brightly that day, and the venue was bustling with activity, filled with a dense crowd of people brimming with excitement.

Ninjas maintained order, while the Byakugan and sensory ninjas of the Hyuga Clan constantly observed the crowd in the venue.

Ordinary merchants and villagers without Chakra gathered in one place, while those with Chakra gathered in another.

It perfectly separates ordinary people from those who possess Chakra, with each area having ninjas from the Barrier Team.

Once the seats are full, the Barrier Team will erect a barrier to protect the audience, claiming that some of the ninjas in this Genin battle have reached the Jōnin level, and they are afraid of accidentally injuring them.

There were also dignitaries from various countries, seated in luxurious seats, protected by a barrier, with ninjas on guard within the barrier at all times.

The guards from various noble families, because they possessed Chakra and were outsiders, were also assigned to a separate area and protected by the same barrier.

The appearance of the barrier gave people a sense of security, but it also served to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Even before the Chunin Ninja Exams began, the huge venue was already bustling with noise.

The Sarutobi Clan.

Sarutobi Asuma walked slowly into his clan's compound with his head down, then tossed a medicine bottle aside.

"Creak."

The door opened, and inside the room, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was still the same as before, staring blankly at the huge calligraphy and painting of the word "forbearance".

"Father!"

With a hoarse laugh, Asuma slumped to his father's side and began to mutter to himself.

"I can't handle the clan's fighting faction anymore, I really can't handle it. They've actually secretly colluded with the Sand Ninja..."

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, for the sake of the Sarutobi Clan's bloodline, for the sake of Konohamaru, I choose..."

Overwhelmed with grief, Sarutobi Asuma shed two tears, then tremblingly and slowly took out the Chakra weapon, Flying Swallow, that his father had given him from his bosom.

"Father!"

Tears streamed down, dripping onto the wooden floor. Flying Swallow, channeling Wind Release Chakra, was about to pierce her father's heart.

But at that moment, his dull and lifeless eyes suddenly brightened.

"Asuma!"

At the sudden call, Asuma's eyes trembled, and he looked up, his tear-streaked face filled with shock.

"Father! Father!"

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly turned his head, revealing a hoarse voice, and the blank expression on his face had long since disappeared.

It turned out that all these years had been a facade. At this moment, Asuma seemed to understand something, but it was precisely because he understood that he found it even more unbelievable.

If all of this is true, then who is the leader of the martial arts faction within the clan? And who is colluding with the Sunagakure?

This was the last thing Sarutobi Asuma wanted to see.

"Asuma, you've grown up."

A relieved smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face as he heard the hoarse yet familiar voice.

Sarutobi Asuma's blank stare was filled with disbelief the next moment!

"Father! You! Did you do all this?! Why did you collude with the Sand Ninja?! Why?!"

Seeing his son's incredulous tears, the Third Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, his eyes finally hardening with determination.

"Asuma, Konoha cannot fall into the hands of the evil Uchiha!"

"Just for this! Is this why you colluded with the Sand Ninja?!" At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma roared and questioned madly.

In his mind, no matter how despicable his father was, he would never be associated with traitors who colluded with the Sand Ninja, but right now!

Asuma's heart was breaking, but Hiruzen Sarutobi just snorted coldly when he saw this.

"Asuma, for Konoha, for the village!"

"Father, then what about the family?" Asuma demanded loudly.

Faced with his son's questioning, Third Hiruzen Sarutobi remained resolute.

"Asuma, rest assured, everything I've done is for the village. What you call colluding with the Sand Ninja was actually a tactic Father used to divert the Uchiha's attention, and it was a deliberate act of exposure..."

With Hiruzen Sarutobi explanation, Sarutobi Asuma finally understood everything.

He understood, but he still couldn't comprehend it!

At this moment, Asuma looked at his father with pain, almost unable to recognize him.

"Father, for what you believe to be the Will of Fire, you used the entire family as bait! Do you know what will become of the family?"

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi said hoarsely, "I know! But for the village, for the Will of Fire, I would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Sarutobi Clan."

"The village cannot fall into the hands of the evil Uchiha. Asuma, don't worry, this time your father is making amends for his mistakes. Tsunade and Jiraiya."

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, anyone but Uchiha would do. Not to mention that if his plan succeeded, Konoha would definitely fall into Tsunade's hands in the end.

He was, after all, his disciple.

The Third Hokage's mindset was that anyone who wasn't Uchiha was better than Uchiha.

Pfft!

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was explaining, a voice suddenly rang out, and the precious Chakra Metal weapon, Flying Swallow, emanating Wind Release Chakra, pierced directly through his chest.

"Asuma!"

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "Well done, Asuma."

With a bang, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned into a puff of white smoke, while Asuma, whose eyes were glazed over, was shocked.

"Father! You've gone mad! You've really gone mad!"

"For your self-righteous Will of Fire, you have destroyed your family and now you have to bear the infamy!"

Upon seeing that his father was Shadow Clone, Sarutobi Asuma screamed wildly.

He knew it was too late, everything was too late!

His own father had used the Sarutobi Clan as bait and must be at the Chunin Ninja Exams venue now, but it was too late for him.

"Damn it, the water source is poisoned!"

"Oh no! A barrier has appeared and trapped us!"

At that moment, the Sarutobi Clan was in complete panic, but all of their former top-tier Jōnin had vanished without a trace.

Inside the Sarutobi Clan's secret chamber, a group of Jōnin lay on the ground in agony, their faces pale and writhing weakly.

With a swish, the door opened and a tall figure walked in.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Sarutobi Clan were Jōnin and their eyes widened in fury.

"Asuma! You traitor!"

"You scoundrel! You'll die a horrible death!"

"Traitor, you actually slaughtered your own family..."

Vicious curses echoed, but what awaited them was a brutal massacre.

With blood splattering everywhere, Flying Swallow was now covered in the blood of his kin, and Sarutobi Asuma looked like a demon who had walked out of hell.

Tears streamed down her face, but her hands never stopped, and her eyes went from pain to numbness.

When he had slaughtered the last man, Sarutobi Asuma looked at the mess and blood-soaked ground, and he broke down in a fit of mad laughter.

"Ha ha, you wicked race, you all deserve to die! You all deserve to die, ha ha!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes were contorted with madness; he had fallen into a frenzy and lost all reason.

After bursting out of the clan's secret chamber, Sarutobi Asuma killed anyone he saw, like a tiger among sheep in the clan's territory where there were no Jōnin.

The elderly and children were all killed without any mercy.

Hidden in the shadows, Sharingan Obito a bewitching, bloodthirsty light. Upon seeing this scene, he laughed, his twisted laughter growing louder and louder.

"Haha, kill them! Once you come to your senses, there will be no turning back."

When Asuma's mind was on the verge of collapse, Obito with his Obito seized the opportunity and used the Sharingan's powerful Genjutsu to draw out Asuma's evil and bloodlust.

At this moment, the surrounding barrier had completely sealed off the Sarutobi Clan.

Upon sensing the presence of those outside, Masked Obito smiled. "It seems I need to help Asuma. At the very least, Asuma needs to complete his masterpiece before Jiraiya and his men break in."

Meanwhile, on the other side of Konoha, the Chunin Ninja Exams were in full swing.

The Chunin Ninja Exams venue.

With the arrival of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the Fourth Raikage Ay, and the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak.

Amidst the resounding cheers, excited people were shouting everywhere.

"Welcome."

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, are the only two women among the current Five Kage. They stood up with heroic bearing to welcome the arrival of the Three Kage.

The gathering of the five great Shinobi World Five Great Kage in public is practically a grand event in the Shinobi World.

"Heh, as expected of Konoha."

The cunning Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, spoke with a chuckle, but his words were full of provocation.

Tsunade, of course, understood and laughed heartily, "That's Jiraiya. Now that Konoha and Mist Ninja are one family, it's naturally the strongest village."

The two were talking at cross purposes.

However, Tsunade was not one to suffer in silence. Looking at the guards brought by the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, she couldn't help but shake her head and say, "They're all so old, and Iwagakure really doesn't even have a single person worth mentioning."

As the saying goes, you shouldn't insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses, Tsunade only knows how to expose their weaknesses.

Ōnoki's face stiffened instantly, his heart filled with resentment, but he had to suppress it and forcefully put on a relaxed expression, laughing loudly, "With this body of mine, I can work for another ten years or so without any problem."

Mei Terumi chuckled softly, "Tsunade- neechan, our village has quite a few rising stars. I feel like I'm getting old."

Damn it, I know you guys have a lot of geniuses, but you can't be this cocky.

Ōnoki, who was practically cursing under his breath, had to maintain a smile in front of so many people.

As the Five Kage took their seats, the entire venue erupted in another round of thunderous cheers.

Five Kage hats, Five Kage converge, and just then a voice slowly rose from behind.

"They're all here."

It was a very soft sound, yet it traveled throughout the entire venue. This sound caused the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Kazekage to change their expressions, a look of apprehension flashing in their eyes.

Without them noticing at all, Uchiha Yoru suddenly appeared.

I saw another chair where the Five Shadows were sitting, and under the big word "God", the figure of Uchiha Ye appeared.

Instantly Chunin Ninja Exams erupted in a cacophony of noise, with countless people cheering excitedly and wildly.

"God of Night!"

Amidst the tremendous cheers, mostly from the book ninjas and commoners, the faces of the high-ranking officials and nobles from the daimyo's Daimyo's Mansion were rather grim.

In recent years, the weakening effect of the God of Night on the Daimyo's Mansion cannot be explained in just a few words.

As Uchiha Yoru arrived, many ninjas in the venue bowed respectfully, and many even showed signs of fanatical worship.

This scene instilled a deep sense of fear in the ninjas from various villages who came to visit. What terrifying charisma! They could understand it from the expressions of the Konoha and Mist Ninja.

"The Chunin Ninja Exams may begin."

Uchiha Yoru's casual remark was immediately understood by the ninjas who were already prepared in the venue.

"The Chunin Ninja Exams Selection Tournament, Round One, is now beginning! Contestants, please come forward!"

Sasuke Uchiha VS Naruto Uzumaki.

Son of the Former Uchiha Clan Head VS. Posthumous Son of the Fourth Hokage.

This is a battle between Second Generation VS Second Generation, and also a Battle of Geniuses.

"Yo! Naruto Uzumaki arrived!"

Just then, Naruto Uzumaki, dressed in orange, descended from the sky and gave everyone a thumbs-up as he landed.

Swoosh~

As a gentle breeze blew and a leaf fell, Sasuke Uchiha appeared.

However, the moment Sasuke Uchiha appeared, countless ninjas present showed astonished expressions, but these were quickly drowned out by the excited cheers of the audience.

Sasuke Uchiha Pure white kimono and black trousers beneath his cool and aloof expression. His chest was open, slightly revealing his eye-catching muscles. Dark black arm guards covered his forearms and extended to his hands. Black rope belt was tied around his waist, and a Ninja straight sword was tucked horizontally into it.

This scene shocked countless people.

Especially among the Konoha Jonin, many looked at each other in bewilderment, gazing in the direction of Uchiha Yoru.

Even the Fifth Generation Tsunade and Mei Terumi on the stage narrowed their eyes when they saw it.

"Night, no wonder you admire and value this brat so much."

"No wonder your talent is far inferior to others, yet you favor this brat so much, Night."

Good heavens, Tsunade and Mei Terumi's words immediately created an awkward atmosphere. Of the Three Kage, only the Kazekage remained silent, oblivious to the Kazekage. The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, even revealed a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Ōnoki seemed to be saying, "The young people are really good at this; I admire them."

Among the Jōnin present, Zabuza Momochi, unusually, turned to Kakashi and whispered, "Kakashi, could this kid be Lord Yoru's child?"

Many of his other colleagues also cast curious glances at him, as Hatake Kakashi was Uchiha Yoru's classmate and now his right-hand man.

Kakashi sighed, rubbing his forehead. It was too much of a coincidence; Sasuke Uchiha and Uchiha Yoru looked exactly alike in their youth, especially in their attire.

If it weren't for Uchiha Yoru's current hairstyle, which makes their hairstyles somewhat different, they would practically look like they were cut from the same mold.

"Well... I'm not sure either."

Although Kakashi wanted to say no, looking at Sasuke's expression, he became suspicious and fell silent.

Sasuke Uchiha was born the year of the Nine-Tails Night. He and Yoru were 14 years old, so Sasuke's birthday would be in July. If we count backwards...

Night had already passed away when he was 13! Thinking of this, Kakashi shook his head awkwardly.

Considering the number of women Uchiha Yoru with her now, it does seem quite possible.

She already had this ability at the age of 13, not to mention that people in the ninja world develop even faster.

However, at this moment, Sasuke Uchiha appeared in the venue, full of arrogance. In his heart, Teacher Yoru was his idol, and he dressed up like this to prove himself.

"Stinky Sasuke."

When Naruto Uzumaki saw Sasuke dressed like this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He pointed at Sasuke and shouted angrily, "If I had known this would happen, I should have changed into a new outfit to show off too!"

"Tch, Dead Last."

Sasuke Uchiha a haughty snort; this time, he was going to prove himself in front of everyone.

Sasuke Uchiha was able to become Teacher Yoru's disciple because he had the ability and talent.

After his initial shock, the referee smiled at Sasuke, secretly deciding that he couldn't afford to let anything happen to him and that he had to keep a close eye on him the entire time.

"The first duel shall now begin!"

Please support me.
