Me, Participating in the Chunin Exam, Was Broadcast Live!

I, who participated in the Chunin Exam, was broadcast live! Author: Naruto the Great

Kitahara Kaede, a Kage-level powerhouse, just wanted to slack off.

One day, a Myriad Realms Chat System was activated.

Kakashi, Might Guy, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, the Third Tsuchikage, Minato Namikaze, and Naruto Uzumaki all joined.

This chat group could broadcast Kitahara Kaede's whereabouts for three hours every day.

Then, during the Chunin Exam, the extremely difficult written test shocked everyone.

Hashirama Senju: Are the questions for the Chunin Exam wrong? I don't know any of them.

Tobirama Senju: Big brother, I told you to read more books, but it's not like you wouldn't know these questions... *, who would know these questions!

Madara Uchiha: Hmph, without me, Konoha is truly useless in everything!

Might Guy: Neji, you must not make an enemy of Kitahara Kaede.

Minato: Naruto-chan, keep it up, Dad loves you.

Naruto: That being said, I can't even understand the questions.

So everyone secretly peeked at Kitahara Kaede's...

Chapter 001: Naruto's Classmate!

The so-called ninja is a person who can endure.

What truly makes one powerful isn't how many ninjutsu they've learned or how much chakra they possess, but whether they have someone to protect behind them.

So, who is the person that he wants to protect now?

A black-haired youth, on his way to the Ninja Academy, began to contemplate his life.

His name is Kitahara Kaede, an ordinary Celestial Dynasty transmigator.

He died of exhaustion while doing homework all night.

When he woke up, he found himself transmigrated to Konoha, with his strength already at the Kage-level.

At the same time, he was the only successful test subject in the Wood Release laboratory.

Afterward, he accepted the Third Hokage's arrangement and began studying Wood Release.

Wood Release itself was created to control the Nine-Tails.

Therefore, he was sent by the Third Hokage to the side of Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, and became classmates with Naruto.

Naruto went to school, and he went to school too.

And now, the story begins—it's the timeline for graduating from the Ninja Academy.

"I'm going out."

He left his bachelor apartment.

Most of the characters in the Naruto world are orphans, and Kitahara Kaede's identity here is the same.

As a test subject, he was naturally an orphan from the war, eventually accepted by Konoha.

Perhaps considering his ability to use Wood Release, the Third Hokage treated him quite well.

Ordinary orphans only had a 45-square-meter small room, but he had 90 square meters.

Ordinary orphans received 30,000 Ryo in monthly living expenses, while he received double.

His basic living needs were guaranteed, and if he was frugal, he could even buy good ninja tools.

Kitahara Kaede had no complaints.

For him, dying from staying up all night doing homework in his previous life was too tragic.

So, in this Naruto world, slacking off and surviving until the finale would be a good experience.

Konoha had only one Ninja Academy, covering an area of 1500 square meters, which had continued from the Second Hokage's era to the present.

The academy had provided thousands upon thousands of ninja for Konoha, ensuring the normal operation of Konoha's ninja system.

The Ninja Academy taught theory, basic ninjutsu, and taijutsu, and upon graduation, students would become genin.

In the past era of war, they would be directly thrown into battle as cannon fodder, but the current era was more peaceful, so smiles could often be seen on the students' faces.

Kitahara Kaede put aside his thoughts because he noticed some classmates appeared ahead.

They were walking towards the school while chatting.

Among these girls, the most outstanding in appearance was a black-haired girl with white eyes.

That was Hinata Hyuga, the female protagonist from the original story.

Hinata-sama is quite a lovely child.

She has beautiful dark blue short hair, and a pair of pure white, clear Byakugan that attest to her bloodline.

Her features are exquisitely beautiful, and she has a timid, shy demeanor.

Her skin is very fair, and for a moment, she was reminiscent of a beautiful snow woman.

Although she is just a fledgling bird now, one could anticipate what she would look like when she grew up.

At this moment, Ino and Sakura were accompanying her.

"Oh no... Besides the written exam today, there's also the ninja tool exam, and all my kunai are at home..."

"I have to hurry home!"

"As expected of Piggy Ino, your memory is still so terrible. Wait a moment... I'm still wearing my slippers... I was too nervous about the exam—"

"I have to go home too—"

"Sorry, Hinata, it's rare for you to wait for us, why don't you go to school first..."

"No, it's fine."

The girl with black hair and white eyes gently shook her head, indicating it was okay. It was at this moment she found herself alone.

She didn't have much of a presence in the school, and the people she could call friends were very few.

So, she suddenly found herself alone.

Kitahara Kaede walked past Hinata.

"Um..."

"Please wait a moment—"

But Hinata called out to him from behind.

Kitahara Kaede turned his head.

"Um... Kitahara Kaede-kun... did you bring all your ninja tools for today's exam?"

Hinata looked at Kitahara Kaede as he turned, stammering slightly.

"If you didn't bring your ninja tools... I have a spare set here..."

"And for the written exam, I also prepared a spare set of pens. I have both black and blue pens ready..."

As she said this, she held up a small backpack with both hands.

The backpack indeed looked quite full from the outside, so it might have truly contained a spare set of exam supplies.

Kitahara Kaede gently crossed his arms. "I brought my own exam supplies."

"You don't need to prepare mine next time."

"Taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

"Mm... I, I understand."

Hinata seemed discouraged, clutching the backpack with both hands, appearing to have retreated into the shadows.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Hinata, or rather, Hinata Hyuga, the heroine from the original story, now also had another identity—his childhood friend.

Kitahara Kaede was discovered by the Third Hokage at the age of four as a Wood Release test subject.

He was then placed in the village.

Kitahara Kaede happened to see some children from the village bullying Hinata and casually chased them away.

However, he didn't expect any reward and didn't even tell Hinata his name.

But when he was sent to the Ninja Academy, in the same year as Naruto, Hinata recognized him.

And so, their current relationship began.

After Kitahara Kaede made a fool of himself by forgetting his pen during an exam, Hinata, who was more observant... took excessive care of him.

She always prepared double the amount of supplies.

Seeing Hinata's dejected expression, Kitahara Kaede reached into the ninja tool bag and appeared to search for something.

"Ah... I think I did forget my black pen," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Ah... really...? Here you go." Hinata quickly opened the small bag she was holding with both hands.

Kitahara Kaede noticed that her backpack contained not only exam-related items but also things like handkerchiefs and gloves specifically for boys.

He felt that these didn't need to be prepared.

"Here." Hinata quickly handed the black pen to Kitahara Kaede.

Watching Kitahara Kaede seriously put the black pen into their pocket, Hinata's mood seemed to clear up.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Chapter 002: The Whole Class Has No Vision!

Ninja Academy.

A young man wearing a green vest and with his hair tied up held a book.

His hands were broad, and a long scar ran across the bridge of his nose. It wasn't ugly; rather, it gave him a very gentle impression.

This was Iruka, a Chunin instructor at the Ninja Academy.

Iruka taught all subjects and had been doing so for several years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the current students were his life's work.

"Today is the Ninja Academy's graduation exam."

"All of you need to bring honor to yourselves."

"If you fail, I won't be able to hold my head up."

"Now, let's begin the roll call..."

"Why does it feel like someone is missing..."

Iruka held the roster, feeling a bit nervous himself. Although it was a time of peace now, unlike his childhood when graduation meant going straight to the battlefield, it was still daunting.

Therefore, the school had lowered its requirements for students significantly. But if students still failed under these relaxed conditions... his evaluation as a teacher would also suffer.

However... there were indeed problem students in the class.

"Naruto!"
