The Chūnin Exams Are About to Begin

Itachi nodded. He thought Fugaku meant that Shisui had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Hahahahaha, as expected of my son!" Having received confirmation, Fugaku was overjoyed. He patted Itachi on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

There it is again. Every time, it's the same line.

Ye Wuyue held his forehead and silently complained to himself.

To his surprise, Fugaku turned around and began lecturing him instead.

"Sasuke, how many tomoe does your Sharingan have now?" After praising Itachi, Fugaku turned to Ye Wuyue and asked.

"Ahem, Father, you know me. I only awakened my Sharingan not long ago, and it's already at two tomoe." Ye Wuyue's gaze drifted away.

"Your brother had already reached the two-tomoe Sharingan when he was eight. You're nearly thirteen now, so why are you still at two tomoe? Although it's indeed remarkable that you created your own Kekkei Genkai, you must properly train the clan's Kekkei Genkai as well. Our clan made enemies tremble at the sight of these eyes."

Fugaku earnestly lectured Ye Wuyue. Though his second son was quite talented, he simply refused to properly train the clan's techniques. So far, he was only good at Fire Release; his Sharingan and Shurikenjutsu could only be considered decent.

"Uh, I understand. I'll definitely work hard to develop my Sharingan from now on," Ye Wuyue promised Fugaku.

Fugaku gave a faint grunt, then continued, "The Chūnin Exams are about to begin, right?"

Itachi and Ye Wuyue nodded at the same time.

"I plan to register Sasuke. His strength has long surpassed that of a Chūnin," Itachi said.

Ye Wuyue thought the same. If he became a Jonin sooner, he could go out and carry out missions on his own. Then he could leave the village to train his Bankai. His recent simulated Bankai training had improved his adaptability somewhat. He could now swing his blade within Flowing Fire's sea of flames, exchange several moves with it in Shinso's forest of blades, and barely touch Senbonzakura's body.

It could be said that he had improved considerably, but he still had a long way to go before achieving Bankai.

"Good. It's fine as long as you've registered." Fugaku nodded, then said to Ye Wuyue, "Although you'll be the only member of your team participating in these Chūnin Exams, if you get eliminated, don't call yourself a member of the Uchiha Clan ever again."

"There's no need to worry about that. If I can't even pass the Chūnin Exams, I'll dig a hole outside and bury myself in it," Ye Wuyue said confidently.

What a joke. With his strength and familiarity with the original plot, how could he possibly fail a mere Chūnin Exam?

The next day, Itachi registered Team Eleven for the Chūnin Exams. Since Sai was already a Chūnin, he was the only one from their team taking part this time.

In the end, the Chūnin Exams were set to begin on July 25. July 23 happened to be Sasuke's birthday, but Ye Wuyue would not be able to check in again.

The system calculated check-in time from the day he arrived in this world. In other words, he would have to wait until Naruto's birthday to check in.

That indirectly increased the connection between the two of them.

Because of the Chūnin Exams, Konoha had seen quite a few ninjas from other villages over the past few days.

These ninjas came from all kinds of shinobi villages throughout the ninja world. Not only did their strengths vary greatly, but so did their conduct. Recently, Konoha's Military Police Force had often received disputes involving foreign village ninjas.

At the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen, the increased foot traffic had created a long line. Ye Wuyue stood in it as well, carrying a lunchbox to pick up Flowing Fire's meal for the day. It had become something he did every day.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was finally his turn.

"Oh, Sasuke. The usual today?" Teuchi was already quite familiar with Ye Wuyue. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, please," Ye Wuyue said with a nod. By now, he did not even need to explain anything for Teuchi to prepare it for him.

While Ye Wuyue waited, an Amegakure ninja carrying a black umbrella suddenly stormed over from the back of the long line.

"Damn it, with a line this long, when will we ever get to eat? Kid, give me your ramen later. I'll pay you for it, understand?" The Amegakure ninja stood before Ye Wuyue and ordered him.

"If you want to eat, wait in line properly. Stop being an eyesore here."

Ye Wuyue glanced at him and replied calmly.

"What did you say!?"

Ye Wuyue's words instantly set the Amegakure ninja off. He reached out to grab Ye Wuyue by the collar.

Ninjas from other villages nearby watched on, waiting to enjoy the show.

"That Amegakure ninja is probably in for it. That kid is from the Uchiha Clan, yet he still dares to stir up trouble. Still, this works out nicely—we can see what Konoha's ninjas are capable of."

An Iwagakure ninja said this to the teammate beside him, his eyes fixed on Ye Wuyue.

Ye Wuyue grabbed the Amegakure ninja's hand, then slowly tightened his grip.

Crack, crack.

The Amegakure ninja's wrist began to deform beneath Ye Wuyue's grip. Strength was also one of the things Ye Wuyue trained when practicing Hakuda.

"Damn it, kid, let go of me already!" Pain twisted the Amegakure ninja's expression. He grabbed his own arm with his other hand, trying to pull free.

"I told you not to be an eyesore here. Can't you understand?"

Ye Wuyue released him and did not bother looking at him again. At least the man had offered to pay, so he was not completely disgusting. A slight punishment was enough.

The Amegakure ninja staggered several steps backward from inertia. Then his expression turned extremely ugly, his eyes filling with hatred for Ye Wuyue, who had humiliated him.

The surrounding chatter clouded his mind with hatred. He immediately pulled out the umbrella on his back and aimed it at Ye Wuyue.

"Damn you, go die! Shigure Senbon!"

The black umbrella instantly fired a massive number of tiny senbon from its canopy toward Ye Wuyue, catching several innocent ramen customers in its range as well.

Sure enough, there were more idiots in this world than anything else.

Ye Wuyue silently sighed to himself, picked up his still-sheathed Zanpakuto, and swung it.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Every senbon fired by the Amegakure ninja was knocked away by Ye Wuyue. The two ordinary villagers behind him crouched down in fear and covered their heads.

How is that possible?

Seeing that his attack had been utterly ineffective and so easily neutralized, the Amegakure ninja widened his eyes in disbelief.

While he was still stunned, Ye Wuyue used Shunpo to flash behind him.

Thud!

Ye Wuyue struck the Amegakure ninja across the neck with a hand chop. His eyes rolled back, and he immediately lost consciousness.

At that moment, two Konoha Military Police Force ninjas noticed the situation.

"Young Clan Head, are you all right?"

The two Military Police Force ninjas who arrived happened to be members of the Uchiha Clan.

"I'm fine. This Amegakure ninja used ninjutsu against ordinary villagers inside the village. You know how to handle that, right?" Ye Wuyue nodded, then spoke to them calmly.

"Yes!"

The two nodded and dragged the Amegakure ninja lying on the ground away.
