Rin took a deep breath.
Then she dropped to one knee.
Using the etiquette of a ninja paying respects to a Kage, she bowed to Bai Hao.
"Your subordinate greets the Holy Lord!"
"Choose a codename."
Bai Hao nodded slightly. "You are a core member.
You may choose your own codename.
A codename cannot be changed, and it must be a type of plant."
"Then... then I'll be Strawberry."
"Very good."
Bai Hao nodded.
Then, with a casual flick of his hand, he tossed out the Elf Card.
Time slowly passed.
Before long, it was deep into the night.
Hinata had woken up long ago.
After waking, Bai Hao had sent her back home.
Rin had also woken up long ago.
However, Bai Hao had locked her in the attic.
In his plan, every operation by the organization required at least two core members.
Therefore, until he found a suitable teammate for Rin, he would not let her leave.
And at that moment, he was heading out under the cover of night, preparing to resurrect a new subordinate.

"The Uchiha Cemetery is really desolate."
Looking at the Uchiha Cemetery before him, Bai Hao could not help but sigh.
Then he stopped hesitating.
He closed his eyes and quietly began sensing the aura here.
Very soon, he found his target.
"Come back to life.
Izumi Uchiha."
A hexagram Magic Circle suddenly appeared at the center of the cemetery.
Rainbow light flashed, followed by a flock of rainbow Ho-Oh.
For every Elf Card Bai Hao gave to a subordinate, he himself would gain the exact same skills and special effects as that subordinate.
Therefore, what he used at that moment was the same Resurrection Skill as Karin's.
As the Resurrection Skill was cast, very soon, a maiden with a beauty mark beneath the outer corner of her right eye was resurrected by him!

"Although there isn't a suitable Elf Card for now, I believe.
You will become an outstanding offensive member of the organization.
The Phoenix King's Resurrection Skill came with an extremely terrifying boost in power.
Rin was already much stronger than she had been before her death.
But I believe you will undergo even greater changes.
After all, you can possess a Kekkei Genkai.
I wonder just how far your Three-Tomoe Sharingan will evolve."
Bai Hao silently admired her for a moment.
Then he hurriedly took out some clothes and helped her put them on.
Afterward, he put away the warning tools he had placed around the area.
Carrying Izumi Uchiha on his back, he quickly and cautiously left.
The journey was peaceful.
After returning to the bookstore, Bai Hao arranged for Izumi Uchiha to stay in a bedroom on the second floor.
He also used his power to make her sleep even more deeply.
For the time being, he did not have a suitable Elf Card for Izumi Uchiha.
To avoid trouble, he planned to keep her asleep for now.
Once he obtained a new Elf Card, he would wake her up.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Chunin Exams arrived.
Over the past few days, quite a few people had come looking for Bai Hao.
There was Bai Hao's teacher, Iruka, as well as the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
They had come to ask whether Bai Hao was willing to participate in the Chunin Exams.
But Bai Hao refused.
Then there was Sakura.
She felt that she was too weak and did not know whether she should continue participating in the Chunin Exams.
She had suffered a severe blow.
Because she had realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could never become as strong as her two teammates.
On top of that, the person she liked had already given up being a ninja.
As a result, she had lost the motivation to keep going.
Seeing this, Bai Hao naturally persuaded Sakura to give up on the Chunin Exams.
After all, once Sakura withdrew, Naruto and Sasuke would also lose their chance to take the exam.
That way, the plot would undergo a huge change!
Bai Hao could simply lie back and reap a massive wave of Plot Points.
However, for some reason, Sakura changed her mind in the end.
She had originally agreed to withdraw from the exams.
But just two days later, she inexplicably came running back.
She solemnly declared that if neither half of a couple was a ninja, it would be extremely detrimental to raising the next generation.
After saying that, she ran off with a red face.
Leaving Bai Hao completely baffled.
Still, he did not care.
After all, with Karin here this time, he would definitely be able to harvest a huge wave of Plot Points!
Classroom 301, where all those taking the Chunin Exams had gathered, was bustling with activity.
Karin sat in a corner of the classroom, quietly staring at the entrance.
She was waiting for her target—Sasuke Uchiha—to appear.
Over the past few days, she had felt as though she were living in an incredibly unreal world.
First, she had encountered a boy as handsome as a god.
Then, that boy had bestowed power upon her.
And finally...
The attitudes of every ninja in the village toward her had undergone a complete one-eighty!
That day.
When she returned to Kusagakure's camp, she had been questioned by the other Kusagakure ninja as well.
One jonin had even tried to teach her a lesson directly.
But then...
She had instantly knocked that jonin down.
And because she had failed to control her strength, she had beaten him so badly that he was seriously injured.
At once, the world fell silent.
Everyone looked at her with eyes filled with awe and fear.
And...
A trace of greed.
Such an enormous change left Karin feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
At the same time, it also left her at a loss.
