Chapter 049: Gaara Enters the Village, Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden!

Within the Tsukuyomi space, everyone had just agreed with Minato's statement.

Kakashi had a shadow over him regarding Orochimaru, but that was when Kakashi was young and would be afraid of Orochimaru. However, the current Kakashi had grown into his prime.

Therefore, Kakashi at this time should not be afraid of Orochimaru.

So, as long as Orochimaru was defeated within genjutsu, it would be done.

Orochimaru = Fear.

Defeat Fear.

Thus, psychological trauma is healed.

However…

"Ah…" In the Tsukuyomi space, Kakashi was crushed by the Orochimaru conjured by Kitahara Kaede with one hand.

He let out an incredibly painful scream.

The intensity of the sound moved even the Senju brothers and Izuna, who had been in a chaotic battle.

But the most terrifying sight was that the Kakashi who had just been crushed in the previous moment was quickly replaced by an identical new scene.

Little Kakashi's eyes widened in terror.

But the Orochimaru conjured by Kitahara Kaede once again grabbed his neck with one hand.

"Ah…" Kakashi let out another painful cry.

And so.

Back and forth.

After five instances of Kakashi being crushed, followed by a new scene appearing and repeating, the Orochimaru conjured by Kitahara Kaede finally spoke.

"You harbor fear towards Orochimaru."

"Normally, there are two solutions."

"One gentle method is for you to defeat Orochimaru."

"The other is, you encounter something you fear more than Orochimaru, and then even if you truly encounter Orochimaru, you will find that you are no longer afraid of him."

"Because the Orochimaru you see again will not be as dangerous as this!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Ah…" Kakashi was already being crushed at this moment.

Actually, he was thinking, since there were two methods, why not let him experience the gentle one?

Why resort to such a painful, withdrawal-like approach?

[Observe Kitahara Kaede?(^_-) Small Group]

[Hashirama Senju]:This guy is terrifying.

[Tobirama Senju]:Uh… I misjudged him too.

[Might Guy]:A bit too terrifying.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:Fortunately, I didn't become his enemy.

[Minato Namikaze]:Fifth Mizukage, are you online?

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:Mhm, I've arranged for Genin from Kirigakure to take the exam. Naturally, I can be online.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:However, I think Kitahara Kaede's method is actually quite good.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:Because when Kakashi faced Orochimaru, he was still young, and now Kakashi has grown up and his strength has also increased. But Orochimaru has also become stronger.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:So Kitahara Kaede is simulating a cruelty that even an strengthened and enhanced Orochimaru couldn't achieve.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:Having experienced ultimate brutality, when Orochimaru appears before Kakashi again, there will be no need to fear him.

[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]:Because the real Orochimaru is not as cruel as this.

[Brother of Hashirama Senju]:So that's how it is. But Kakashi is quite miserable.

[Brother of Hashirama Senju]:He clearly possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, but… it seems completely ineffective.

Izuna had died too early, and the full potential of the Sharingan had not been unlocked, so he didn't understand it very well.

But there was one thing he understood now… even among the Uchiha… no one was better at using the Sharingan than Kitahara Kaede.

[Might Guy]:Ah… I'll pray for Kakashi.

[Might Guy]:But with this kind of genjutsu, will Kakashi's body be injured?

[Tobirama Senju]:It shouldn't be damaged. But… mentally…

Tobirama didn't finish, but everyone's vision continued forward. They saw over a dozen more small scenes of Kakashi almost being choked to death.

On average, a new scene would appear every ten seconds.

In other words, Kakashi was experiencing a near-death situation every ten seconds, which meant six times a minute.

"..."

Truly tragic.

The lucky ones discovered that only ten minutes remained in their three-hour observation period of Kitahara Kaede for the day.

So they also entered the Tsukuyomi space. This meant they only needed to watch for ten minutes.

However, once the small group's observation session closed for the day, there was no telling how long Kakashi... would continue.

Kakashi was groggy.

Kakashi was groggy.

"Teacher Kakashi!"

"Kakashi!"

In his daze, Kakashi heard someone calling his name.

"Kakashi..." Kakashi saw Kitahara Kaede before him, and then Kitahara Kaede raised a hand.

"Ah!" Kakashi woke up instantly.

He then opened his eyes and found himself in the familiar Konoha Hospital, seeing the ceiling of the hospital.

But.

"I feel like... I've been through something... but I've forgotten," Kakashi said as he pushed aside the covers.

He felt like he had lost a bit of his memory.

He noticed that the three disciples of his Team 7 were also here.

"What happened to me?" Kakashi asked.

"We finished our training and saw you collapsed on the roadside, so we brought you to Konoha Hospital," Naruto said.

"Oh—" Kakashi drew out his vowel.

"So how much time has passed?"

"You've been here for 2 days!" Naruto said. "Teacher Kakashi, hurry up and go see Grandpa Third!"

"Huh?" Kakashi was confused.

"Tomorrow is the final deadline for the Chunin Exam applications. We went to the Ninja Academy to apply, but Genin who just graduated need a guarantee letter signed by their Jonin Instructor to participate."

"They said it's a measure to protect new ninjas," Naruto said nervously.

He wanted to be recognized, he wanted... to prove he could be a ninja.

He wanted to shut up those who disliked him and looked down on him.

Therefore, he needed the stage of the Chunin Exam.

So Kakashi falling behind meant he was failing them.

"I almost forgot." Kakashi quickly stood up, and when he looked at Kitahara Kaede again, he found his legs shaking.

???

Why?

He felt an intense fear of Kitahara Kaede.

At the same time, he felt like he could face anything.

It was a peculiar sensation.

After Kakashi went to register, the students of Team 7 walked through the streets.

They weren't planning to train today.

Or rather, it was usually Sasuke and Naruto training while Kitahara Kaede watched from the side.

However, perhaps because the Chunin Exam was approaching, the number of Genin examinees from other ninja villages coming to Konoha was increasing.

"So this is Konoha Village, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages—"

"It's certainly big."

"And the layout is clear, with only one main gate for both entrance and exit."

"Even the guards are Chunin."

"They definitely have strength."

Three individuals dressed like members of the Sand Village walked from ahead.

Then they stopped.

Kitahara Kaede's team also stopped.

"It seems Konoha doesn't just have Yamato with strength... the person is quite handsome too."

The speaker was from

"What a good-looking man..."

There was a hint of teasing in her tone, but her cheeks were also slightly flushed.

This was Temari, the ignorant village beauty from the Sand Village.

So this Sand Village team was naturally the group of the Fourth Kazekage's three children—Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara—from the impoverished little village of Sand Village.

"He's indeed a good-looking man!"

"His strength looks good."

"I'll give it a try." Gaara was the most eager of the three, but he exuded a dangerous aura.

The corner of his mouth split into a slight grin.

Then, Gaara, carrying his gourd on his back, suddenly disappeared from Temari and Kankuro's sides. With a raise of his hand, he appeared before Team 7.

"BOOM!"

However, Sasuke and Naruto moved in unison. The two attacked together, jointly punching Gaara away.
