Participating in the Chunin Exam, I Was Broadcast Live!

"Kidney deficiency Hokage": Hmph!

Kakashi looked as if he had been startled.

Minato, however, continued speaking.

"Minato Namikaze": Kakashi, I really like Jiraiya-sensei's books too. How about you take this Icha Icha Paradise with you when you meet Kitahara Kaede tomorrow? That way, I can see it too during the three hours I'm observing Kitahara Kaede.

"Hashirama Senju": That's great, I want to read books too.

"Kidney deficiency Hokage": !!

Kakashi's spiritual body's face was about to turn red enough to smoke.

"Tobirama Senju": Kakashi, you can't do it? You can't even do something this simple? Don't you know that for us who have passed on, time feels like it's stopped, except for the small group chats? It's very boring.

"Kidney deficiency Hokage": This... that...

Kakashi's spiritual body immediately bubbled.

"Kidney deficiency Hokage": Uh, I might have to log off early today!

With that said, Kakashi actually forced himself offline.

"Might Guy": Oh ho... I think I've got Kakashi's weakness.

"Hashirama Senju": ???

"Tobirama Senju": Kakashi ran away? Minato, what's going on with your disciple?

"Minato Namikaze": My apologies, First Hokage, Second Hokage... Kakashi wasn't very social before either, perhaps he's a bit introverted.

Kakashi wasn't introverted at all.

"Ah%..."

"My head hurts!"

After logging off from the group chat, Kakashi immediately clutched his head with both hands.

"Couldn't you have just told them?" Might Guy came up to him. "Said you were reading about the Imperial Uncle."

"I can't bring myself to say it!" Kakashi exclaimed. "Everyone seems to think I'm a good kid, but who knows that my true nature is... someone who hides under the covers and reads Icha Icha Paradise!"

"My image would be completely ruined!"

"Oh... is that so..." Might Guy didn't think it was a big deal for Kakashi to read about the Imperial Uncle, because Kakashi had always been his lifelong rival!

There was no need to maintain an image; he already felt Kakashi was a genius and very cool. And then... his lifelong rival!

Ps: Thanks to cwk000 for the reward.

Ps: So many flowers... I never expected it.

All I can do is type frantically to repay you all.

Chapter 034: Opening Sharingan When You Say So, Don't You Uchiha Have Any Pride?! (Seeking Data)

While Kakashi was offline, avoiding reality, Kitahara Kaede was still listening to Hinata speak.

He had thought about it.

The world of Naruto was highly dangerous. To be safe, one needed absolute strength.

And how to become stronger?

Protecting others.

Once you have someone you must protect in your heart, you can become stronger.

The person he chose was Hinata Hyuga.

Therefore, cultivating their relationship now was not wrong.

"So, you're feeling anxious right now?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

Hinata had a minor issue.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, just like in the original story, she joined Team Ten, led by the Special Jonin Kurenai Yuhi.

Her teammates were Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame.

Special Jonin were a special existence between Chunin and Jonin.

They were individuals whose abilities didn't quite meet the standards of a Jonin, but who possessed talent in certain areas, leading to their special promotion.

The reason Kurenai Yuhi was promoted was... her Genjutsu.

She had a perfect score of 10 out of 10 in Genjutsu.

After the Uchiha Clan was annihilated, Konoha's Genjutsu masters' strength plummeted instantly, so she was promoted.

In reality, she was quite strong.

She didn't have a Bloodline Limit, but she had cultivated her Genjutsu to the highest level achievable by ordinary people, which was already very commendable.

However, Kurenai Yuhi was not suited to lead Team Ten.

Even though she tried very hard to impart knowledge to her disciples, it was useless.

Hinata and the others simply couldn't learn her Genjutsu.

So, since taking over, everyone had been practicing their clan's secret techniques.

This was also a unique aspect of Konoha.

They said it was a ninja village, meant to be without clans within the village, but each major clan still kept their secret techniques very closely guarded, only allowing their own clan members to practice them.

Others could not interfere.

Or rather, their future was to use their clan's secret techniques.

Look at the Hyuga Clan, look at the Nara Clan, look at the Yamanaka Clan.

These were all fixed.

So, Jonin Instructors... were rather useless.

Hinata's surname was Hyuga, from the Hyuga Clan, and she was the daughter of the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

Naturally, she practiced the Hyuga Clan's secret technique – the Gentle Fist, which required the Byakugan.

She was learning the Gentle Fist Sixty-Four Palms.

Although she knew how to perform the sixty-four palms, she didn't have enough training time.

With the Chunin Exam starting in half a month, she felt the pressure.

In other words.

Her strength was insufficient, and participating in the Chunin Exam might bring her shame.

But not participating would also bring shame.

Because if everyone else participated and you didn't, your evaluation would be very low.

She was also the clan leader's daughter... and even more so, she was the focus of attention within the Hyuga Clan...

Thus, Hinata fell into a predicament.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede didn't respond immediately. Because of his appearance, Hinata was slightly different from the original story; that is, Hiashi hadn't given up on her.

After all, if Hinata's relationship with him was good enough, the Hyuga Clan would gain the goodwill of a Wood Release awakened, and it might even change their Hyuga Clan's bloodline from then on.

Making it possible for future clan members to awaken Wood Release.

Everyone knew that Wood Release could conquer the world!

Therefore.

The temptation was too great.

Linglong: 856323613

After the Uchiha Clan was gone, the Hyuga Clan declared themselves the number one clan in Konoha, so their ambition surged.

As such.

Unlike in the original story where Hinata was abandoned, she was now being cultivated.

And her younger sister, Hanabi... became the next head of the branch family, and was being trained as such.

She had also been implanted with the Caged Bird seal at the age of four.

This was a completely different aspect from the original story.

And in the eyes of the Hyuga family, as long as Hinata could maintain her reproductive ability, they didn't care about her ninjutsu proficiency.

But saying such a thing... to Hinata was too cruel.

After considering it for a moment.

"So, you're saying that with a little more time, you'll be able to fully master sixty palms of the Gentle Fist, right?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Mhm... but, maybe... it will take another month."

Hinata said a little shyly.

She knew her talent wasn't strong.

Neji, her older brother who was one year older than her, had not only mastered the sixty-four palms but had even mastered Rotation.

And Rotation wasn't something the branch family could learn, so it was a technique Neji had developed himself through his understanding of Gentle Fist.

That was genius!

Of course, she didn't compare herself to Neji. She felt that... if she participated in the Chunin Exam, then Kaede-kun would also participate...

And then... if she performed too poorly in front of the person she liked... she would feel very ashamed.

"A month." Kitahara Kaede's fingers lightly tapped the table.

"Then it's not difficult," Kitahara Kaede said. "I'll get you a month."

"Get... a month..." Hinata, however, froze for a moment.

"Could it be... they're going to postpone the Chunin Exam?"

[Kitahara Kaede (^_-) Observation Group]

[Tobirama Senju]: This kid is acting a bit impulsively, changing the rules for a woman.

[Hashirama Senju]: I think it's quite good.

[Hashirama Senju]: Romance is all about wanting to give the other person the best.

[Tobirama Senju]: Big brother, shut up!

[Hashirama Senju]: Sniff ... Sorry, Tobirama, I brought up your sad memories.

[Brother of Hashirama Senju]: I get it. Tobirama Senju, are you going to be a virgin loser until you die?!

[Brother of Hashirama Senju]: So embarrassing.

[Tobirama Senju]: Izuna, shut up! What do you know, you who died without even a chance at love?

[Tobirama Senju]: It's not that I don't date, it's that I have too much to do! Do you know how much I have to do!

[Brother of Hashirama Senju]: Hmph!

[Minato Namikaze]: Esteemed sirs, I think we can wait. Kitahara-kun doesn't seem to be trying to stop the Chunin Exam.

[Tobirama Senju]: Then what is he doing?

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]: He took out the Sharingan.

Only then did everyone notice that Kitahara Kaede had installed the double-tomoe Sharingan left by Danzō.
