This Child Is So Fun~

"That Anbu..."

Second floor.

Kankuro's face twitched slightly: "It's a good thing we didn't clash with him earlier."

Temari also furrowed her brows: "His chakra volume and intensity far exceed those of his peers, and his taijutsu is unfathomable. I never expected there to be someone even more..."

She didn't finish the second half of her sentence, as Temari immediately realized her mistake and snuck a glance at Gaara.

However, she discovered that Gaara was using...

Hm?

What was that?

Something resembling...

Adoration?

Good heavens!

What am I seeing?!

Am I dreaming?

In the arena.

Sasuke finally recovered, stood up, and questioned Jingxin: "Why didn't you finish it?!"

"Because you aren't qualified enough for me to strike first." Jingxin's tone was incredibly calm.

It must be said, as a transmigrator, he knew exactly how to insult people.

In Sasuke's nightmares, this sentence had appeared more times than he could count.

Of course... those had all come from the mouth of Itachi Uchiha.

"You!"

The Sharingan in Sasuke's eye sockets spun frantically.

Jingxin watched this scene with anticipation, even adding fuel to the fire: "You're practically mud that won't stick to a wall. If it weren't for your teammates, you would have died in the Land of Waves."

Ahhhhh!

Sasuke, eyes reddened, launched an attack at Jingxin.

But the gap in strength between the two was too vast; his nearly irrational attacks posed no threat to Jingxin at all.

In less than a few seconds, Sasuke was kicked to the ground once again.

"Hey! Kintsuchi, what are you doing?!" Naruto stared "fiercely" at Jingxin with those azure eyes: "You'd already won, why humiliate Sasuke?!"

"You just wait! I will definitely... mmmph!"

"Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing?"

Kakashi blocked Naruto's mouth from behind, one hand raised to the edge of his mask: "Shh~ He is helping Sasuke."

As a user of the Sharingan, and a former teammate and close friend of Obito.

Kakashi knew some of the secrets of the Sharingan.

Helping Sasuke?

Naruto's brows locked together, and he looked down in confusion.

Under Jingxin's repeated provocations, the Two-Tomoe Sharingan in Sasuke's eye sockets spun faster and faster.

But it still didn't seem to be enough.

There's no other way.

Jingxin's pupils turned scarlet, and he activated a genjutsu.

Sasuke's body stiffened as he once again saw that night of despair and terror.

When Sasuke woke up again, he had already appeared on the second floor, surrounded by a group of Konoha ninja.

The result of the battle was self-evident.

"Wow! It's true!" Naruto pointed excitedly at Sasuke's eyes: "Look! There's an extra tomoe!"

What?!

Sasuke immediately began to sense his own changes; the increase in his Sharingan's ocular power was very clear.

He stood up and cast his gaze toward Jingxin, who was standing quietly not far away.

"Hahaha~ Sasuke, you should really thank Kintsuchi." Naruto patted him on the shoulder: "Even though you lost, you won!"

Just then, Sasuke saw Jingxin's mask turned toward him, as if observing him.

Sasuke wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to open his mouth; his face flushed bright red, and in the end, he lowered his head deeply like an ostrich.

At the very, very end, Sasuke spoke in a very strange tone, stuttering: "Tha... thank you..."

Jingxin watched this scene with great interest and nodded.

Although his body was only twelve years old, his soul was that of a man in his thirties.

If he had married early, his son would be about the same age as Sasuke.

No wonder Itachi loved Sasuke so much.

This kid was so amusing.

It was a pity... Itachi had already turned into a weasel.

Now, it was his turn to play.

In truth, the reason Jingxin could maintain such a healthy mindset and not transfer his hatred for Itachi Uchiha onto Sasuke was simple.

It was mainly because Jingxin's parents in this life had sacrificed themselves for the village, rather than dying at the hands of Itachi.

This led Jingxin to hold Konoha accountable for this debt, rather than Itachi.

Otherwise, Sasuke might not have survived until now.

Suddenly, Jingxin sensed something amiss. He turned his head and discovered Neji staring at him, the veins around his eyes bulging.

Jingxin raised a hand to greet him.

Neji's eyes slowly widened, his mouth agape: "You!"

Tenten noticed this scene and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Neji?"

Under normal circumstances, Neji was quite aloof.

It was rare to see him display such an expression.

"Ahem!" Neji quickly signaled: "It's nothing."

A smile curled at the corner of Neji's mouth.

He had been wondering who it was.

To be this strong.

So it was Jingxin.

Then everything made sense.

Neji's peripheral vision swept toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, then immediately retracted.

Regardless of Jingxin's objective, since he was wearing a mask, it meant he did not want his identity known.

Therefore, there was no need to meddle.

All he needed to do now was wait—wait for news from Jingxin.

When that time came, the so-called fate within the Hyuga clan would cease to exist; after all, even Konoha would be gone...

The subsequent matches were also quite noteworthy.

Gaara vs. Akado Yoroi: a total crush.

Akado Yoroi could absorb chakra through physical contact, but he had the misfortune of running into Gaara.

Deidara vs. Kiba Inuzuka.

Kiba Inuzuka was toyed with by Deidara for a while.

Fortunately, due to Jingxin's influence, although Deidara's personality remained mischievous, he had restrained himself significantly, and Kiba Inuzuka only suffered minor injuries.

Neji Hyuga vs. Hinata.

Neji still emerged victorious, but the situation where three jonin had to intervene to stop him was absent.

Neji pulled back at the critical moment and said calmly: "Go and double your training."

As Hayate Gekko announced Neji's victory.

Neji looked up toward Jingxin.

That Anbu mask gave an imperceptible nod.

Neji felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Once, Jingxin had been the strongest student at the Ninja Academy in Konoha.

But only Neji knew just how strong Jingxin truly was.

What he loved most was sparring with Jingxin, as it allowed him to improve his strength rapidly.

And during the breaks, he would listen to Jingxin describe a social environment that left him yearning.

He just didn't know when Jingxin would make his move.

But regardless, he, Neji Hyuga, would definitely be there to lend a hand.

But for now.

Since Jingxin was not revealing his identity, he would avoid contact with him as much as possible.

Soon, the matches came to a complete end.

The genin who had passed the test gathered together, listened to Hayate Gekko drone on about the time and location of the final exam, and then dispersed on the spot.

Ōnoki led the Jingxin squad back to their lodging.

Ōnoki was in a great mood today.

This was because Hiruzen Sarutobi had many things to give him a headache.

First: how to confess his true parentage to Naruto.

Second: how to conceal Naruto's true parentage from the outside world.

Third: among the ninja students who advanced this time, the proportion of Konoha genin was small, which did not align with Konoha's strategic goals for this Chunin Exams; how was he going to resolve that?

Ōnoki called everyone into the room: "You all performed very well."

"However, the real show is in the final exam."

"Regarding this point, Jingxin knows what will happen; when the time comes, do not hold back, and bring a little turbulence to the ninja world."

Jingxin nodded solemnly: "I will, Teacher."

Ōnoki nodded in gratification; even he, in his old age, could not help but feel a bit stirred.

Since he had chosen to expose them, he would expose them thoroughly.

He seemed to already see the scene in the near future where Jingxin's name would ring out across the ninja world.
