Qingyu's Self-Destruct! [Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader "Not Enough"] (Part One, Two, Three)

"Clairvoyance, is that a special trait?"

Qingyu was surprised.

The name "Clairvoyance" reminded him of eyes in myths and legends that could see through three thousand worlds.

It's important to know that the maximum observation distance of the Byakugan is basically around ten kilometers.

Even from a great distance, it's difficult for Byakugan to observe the specific situation.

Of course, the higher the Purity of the Byakugan, the greater this distance should be.

But it's impossible to reach a distance of a thousand miles, unless the person with the Byakugan is surnamed Otsutsuki, not Hyuga.

Even if we discount the adjective "a thousand miles" by half, it still far exceeds the scope of ordinary Dōjutsu.

"It's just that I haven't collected these two traits before."

Qingyu stroked her chin.

He doesn't even have the two prerequisite traits needed to synthesize it yet, so thinking about it further is pointless.

Could it be that he has to wait until he becomes Chunin before he can collect the Chunin traits dropped by others?

What about the subsequent Insight Mastery?

How do I collect it?

Qingyu fell into deep thought.

He speculated that it was mostly related to Sensory Ninjutsu or the further development of the Sharingan.

"Hmm, I haven't made much progress with the Byakugan either. I need to spend more time with the Hyuga clan members."

97

Qingyu pondered.

He only Byakugan a portion of the bloodline; he hasn't fully acquired it yet.

After Qingyu pondered for a while, people began to emerge from the classroom.

This exam tests cheating; once the examiner finishes writing, everyone else can simply copy.

Therefore, the timeline is much faster than for a regular exam.

The first familiar face to come out was Yūhi Kurenai.

She spotted Qingyu outside immediately, her red eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards him.

"Qingyu, you're amazing! You finished your paper in just five minutes!"

Yūhi Kurenai bent down and got close to his face, her red eyes full of curiosity.

Several people around me were secretly asking who you were.

"It just so happens that all the questions I encountered were ones I knew how to answer. How did you do on the test?"

With her hands on her hips, Yūhi Kurenai confidently said, "It should be pretty good. I'm confident about most of the questions, and I copied the answers to the ones I wasn't so sure about."

She sat down on the bench next to Qingyu, tilting her head to look at him.

"Anyway, there's no way I can compare to you. The speed at which you handed in your paper, some people initially thought you were an examiner who had infiltrated the team."

"Could the examiner be that young?"

Qingyu smiled.

He continued talking with Yūhi Kurenai for a while, and not long after, someone else came out.

Might Guy looked serious and strode over to Qingyu as soon as he saw her.

"Qingyu- jun!"

Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Your youth burned so brightly; being the first to hand in your paper made my blood boil!"

"So how did you do on the exam?"

Upon hearing this, Might Guy's thumb bent slightly downwards.

"Well... I've written some, but there are still many questions I'm not sure about."

However, Might Guy's disappointment lasted only a few seconds before his fighting spirit was rekindled.

"It's okay! I'll make up for the points I lost on the written test by working hard in the exams that follow!"

"Really."

Qingyu nodded.

"Right? I knew Qingyu- kun would say that!"

Obito stepped out from behind Might Guy.

He felt dizzy just looking at the questions this time.

It was a lot of work to piece together all the answers.

Obito only hoped to get a passing grade on the test.

"Where's Lin? Has Lin come out yet?"

Obito looked around.

"Not yet."

Qingyu said.

Obito stood by the bench for a while, then plopped down on the steps next to Might Guy, resting his chin on his hands.

"Those questions were too difficult—I tried my best, but it felt like I didn't do anything at all."

He sighed, then looked up at Qingyu.

"Qingyu, how is your brain structured? How can you know everything?"

"I just reviewed in advance, didn't I already circle it for you?"

Qingyu answered casually.

"The content you've circled has way too much to review; how could you possibly remember it all?"

Obito grumbled and looked towards the entrance of the teaching building, clearly still waiting for Rin Nohara.

Soon, Rin Nohara appeared at the door.

"Lin!"

Obito waved at her.

"Hey over here, how did your exam go?"

Rin Nohara walked over, first smiling and nodding at Qingyu and Yūhi Kurenai before answering Obito.

"It should be pretty good. I'm confident I can answer most of the questions, and I should pass even without cheating."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qingyu again.

"But she's definitely not as good as Qingyu."

"Lin's ability is sufficient to pass; she wouldn't have a problem even without cheating."

"I'm not that amazing, Qingyu- kun."

Rin Nohara's voice softened, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

Obito stood between the two, sensing that the atmosphere had suddenly become awkward.

What happened?

Obito was confused; he felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Lin, is it too hot here? Your face is a little red."

Rin Nohara subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.

"Maybe they're still a bit nervous after just finishing the exam, and there were too many people in the classroom."

97

Obito nodded in sudden realization, without giving it any further thought.

"I'm incredibly nervous too, my palms are sweaty. I can only hope I can score more points in the second and third games."

"If Obito, he'll definitely be able to pull the score up later."

Rin Nohara gave him an encouraging smile.

Obito at her smile, Obito couldn't help but grin as well, completely forgetting the subtle unease he had felt earlier.

Hehe, Lin really cares about him.

During a break in their conversation, Kakashi also came out from the doorway.

How did the exam go?

Qingyu asked him.

"Good."

Kakashi said.

"I finished shortly after you came out. I spent the rest of the time checking and thinking about whether there were more solutions, which is why I wasted some time."

"I see."

Qingyu nodded.

Subsequently, Hyuga Ginka, Sarutobi Asuma Genma Shiranui, and Shizune also emerged one after another.

"Qingyu, I feel I did okay on the test. I happened to see a few of the questions in the notes you gave me."

97

Shizune lane.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Obito immediately regretted it, wishing he had carefully reviewed everything Qingyu had given him.

"Of course it's true."

Shizune lane.

Sarutobi Asuma walked over with a lollipop in his mouth.

"I think I've got it all figured out. The difficulty of this written test wasn't too bad. All those books my dad used to make me read finally came in handy."

Genma Qingyu, carrying Senbon in his Genma Shiranui, followed behind Asuma, nodding slightly to Kiyoha without saying a word.

Once everyone had arrived, Yūhi Kurenai clapped her hands, her red eyes sweeping over everyone present.

"Now that everyone's finished the exams, how about we go grab something to eat? There's still some time before the results are announced, and waiting on an empty stomach is too unbearable."

Ichiraku Ramen!

Obito was the first to jump up and raise his hand.

I second that.

Sarutobi Asuma pulled the lollipop out of his mouth.

"I'm going too! Youth is all about recharging after exams!"

The group marched in a large procession toward the Ichiraku Ramen.

I saw this large group of people walking towards me Teuchi afar, their faces full of warm smiles.

The aroma of steaming bone broth, mixed with the scents of miso and scallions, filled the air. After finishing a bowl of Obito, even Obito, who had been frowning the whole time, perked up again.

When I got back after eating ramen, the results of the first exam were just being announced.

The bulletin board was crowded with people, and Qingyu was pulled to the front by Yūhi Kurenai's wrist.

Rin Nohara watched as Yūhi Kurenai held Qingyu's hand, bit her lip, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Yūhi Kurenai helped Qingyu the way.

The two successfully squeezed to the front.

A large sheet of paper was posted on the bulletin board, listing the written test scores in order of exam number.

Qingyu's gaze swept down from the first line to the next to his exam number, and as expected, it was a perfect score.

Kakashi followed closely behind, coming in second.

Yūhi Kurenai ranked in the teens, while Rin Nohara's ranking was slightly lower but still quite high; both of them passed the written exam smoothly.

Sarutobi Asuma is ranked 30th, Genma Shiranui is ranked 35th.

Shizune's results were even better than she had predicted, and she actually made it into the top 25.

Obito searched the list for a long time before finally finding his ranking near the very end.

"Sigh, I knew it."

Obito immediately lost interest in continuing to watch.

Obito discovered that Might Guy's score was actually higher than his.

Just then, footsteps came from the side.

Everyone turned around and saw Minato Namikaze walking towards them with a smile.

"Thank you all for your hard work. You all did very well in the first exam."

He nodded to Qingyu and Kakashi, then addressed everyone.

"Next is the second exam. Please follow me."

The group followed Minato Namikaze through the streets of Konoha and headed towards the outskirts of the village.

After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding buildings gradually became sparse, replaced by increasingly dense trees and bushes.

At the end of the road, a huge iron mesh wall rose from the ground, with the mesh on both sides hidden in the shadows of the dense forest, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In the very center of the iron fence was a large, open metal gate, above which hung a rusty sign that read "The Training Ground 44".

Several figures stood in front of the gate.

The one leading them was none other than Orochimaru.

He wore a green vest Jonin Konoha, his long black hair cascading over his shoulders, and his pale face remained expressionless.

Everyone's here.

Orochimaru stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.

"I am Orochimaru, the proctor for the second exam."

The candidates present immediately fell silent, and many of them became serious.

"It's Lord Orochimaru!"

"I've heard that Lord Orochimaru is very strict."

"Sigh, I hope this year's exam will be easier than last year's. This is my third time taking it."

The test takers whispered among themselves.

Sannin, one of the Legendary Orochimaru, personally served as the examiner, which means that the difficulty of the second exam will definitely not be low.

"The second exam will be held in the Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death."

Orochimaru pointed to the vast forest behind him, enclosed by iron netting.

"The rules are simple: each team will be randomly assigned either a Heaven Scroll or Earth Scroll before entering the forest."

Your mission is to seize another different scroll within five days, and then bring both scrolls to the tower located in the center of the forest.

He paused, then gave a playful smile.

"Remember, any team that fails to reach the tower within five days will be eliminated. Teams with any member dead or all members incapacitated will also be eliminated. The scroll cannot be opened before reaching the tower; violators will be eliminated."

Are there any other questions?

Orochimaru said.

No one spoke.

"Very good, now let's draw the scrolls in team order."

Orochimaru spoke.

Each team stepped forward in turn and received the sealed scroll bag from the Chunin Examiner next to Orochimaru.

Qingyu's team drew the Earth Scroll. Kakashi put the scroll into his Ninja Tool Pouch, Hyuga Ginka warily observed her competitors around her.

After all the teams had received their scrolls, Orochimaru cleared the way to the gate.

"From this moment forward, the gates to the Forest of Death are officially open. The countdown begins."

At that moment, no one took the first step.

After all, walking in front carries the risk of being followed.

"Should we find a place to hide and observe the situation first?"

Hyuga Ginka suggested.

"Need not."

Qingyu shook her head.

He took the Earth Scroll directly from his Ninja Tool Pouch and, to Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka's astonishment, held it high above his head.

"Now I have something to announce."

Qingyu spoke.

His voice was clear to everyone.

Orochimaru also turned his gaze over, wanting to Qingyu was planning to do.

"What I have here is the Earth Scroll. Anyone who wants the Scroll of Heaven and Earth, feel free to come and take it."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, the atmosphere became restless.

"?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Qingyu became a suicide bomber the moment she stepped onto the field.

Candidates in several directions heard Qingyu's announcement and their eyes all focused on the scroll in his hand.

These ninjas were clearly carrying the Heaven Scroll.

Let's go.

Qingyu put the scroll back into the Ninja Tool Pouch, and then had Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka follow.

Despite their doubts, the two followed Qingyu.

As the three workers entered the forest, the rotting leaves at their feet rustled softly.

The surrounding trees were astonishingly large, their sturdy trunks covered with dark green moss.

The dense canopy of trees almost completely blocked out the sky, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.

After the three workers went inside, they walked for a while, Hyuga Qi suddenly activated his Byakugan and quickly scanned the surroundings.

"There are no other squads nearby, and the nearest Chakra fluctuations are over 800 meters away."

She closed her Byakugan, and her white pupils turned towards Qingyu.

"Qingyu, doing this will attract all the teams from the Heaven Scroll."

Hyuga Kizuki spoke with a magnetic tone.

Kakashi was also curious about this question and looked at Qingyu.

"Those teams with the Heaven Scroll will come to us even if we don't actively seek them out. Instead of chasing them one by one, we might as well let them deliver themselves to us."

Furthermore, your Byakugan can see all Chakra fluctuations within a one-kilometer radius, so even if they swarm in, we can track them in advance.

Qingyu offered an explanation.

"Let's go, head straight towards the Tower."

The three workers no longer concealed their tracks and proceeded along the short donkey route leading to the tower.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Forest of Death.

Beside a stream, Sanci Shangying was crouching behind a bush.

Inuzuka Fuji squatted on a large, moss-covered Taiseki, his right hand resting on the head of his gray-white Ninja Dog, Gray-White Maru.

The Gray-White Maru's nose was twitching rapidly as it was stuck into the well, while its tail swayed incessantly behind it.

"Woof, I smell it! Three of them, about two kilometers away, moving towards the tower."

The Gray-White Maru spoke, raising its front paw and pointing forward.

"The one with black hair in the middle is the one holding the scroll."

"Really."

Inuzuka Fuji jumped down from the rock, revealing an excited smile.

"Qingyu doesn't care about anyone else at all."

The Aburame Shiki, pushed up her sunglasses, and several Kikaichū silently flew out from her sleeve, circled in the air, and then landed back in his palm.

"It's going to be really exciting later."

Aburame Shiki's eyes, behind her sunglasses, sparkled with anticipation.

Standing behind the two, Mizuki Kei frowned.

Why is it considered excellent?

"If we try to ambush Qingyu, the other teams holding the Heaven Scroll will take the opportunity to slip away. Even if we defeat Qingyu, we won't get the scroll—"

Mizuki Kei spoke.

Do you think the other workers won't try to stop him?

Inuzuka Fuji patted Mizuki Kei on the shoulder and chuckled.

"You're too naive. With so many people participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, how could they possibly not have the strength of someone like Qingyu from Inashiro?"

"Those arrogant guys, those who refuse to admit defeat, and those who want to take advantage of the chaos—most of them are probably heading towards Qingyu right now."

He paused, then looked down at the Gray-White Maru.

"Moreover, those who want to get special points in this exam will all regard Qingyu as a competitor of Donkey University."

Instead of relying on luck in the third exam draw, let's take advantage of our numerical advantage in the second exam and work together to eliminate him first.

Mizuki Kei remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Then let's finish this quickly. While the others are keeping Qingyu occupied, let's find an opportunity to steal his scroll."

Inuzuka Fuji patted Gray-White Maru's head, and the Ninja Dog immediately dashed off towards the tower.

The three followed closely behind, wading across the stream and disappearing into the shadows deep within the Forest of Death.

Inside the Tower of the Dead, Orochimaru had already used the "Reverse Summoning Jutsu" to travel directly from the entrance of the Forest of Death to the center of the Forest of Death, which was the Tower of the Dead.

He stood in the monitoring room, the screen in front of him displaying images of Qingyu and other workers.

"Hehe, interesting."

The examiner, who was responsible for taking notes, carefully inquired about the magnetic field:

--

"Orochimaru, should we send men to interfere at the mine? Such arbitrary actions could trigger a large-scale civil war."

"No need."

Orochimaru raised his Teuchi him.

"There's no rule in the Chunin Ninja Exams that forbids being high-profile, so let him cause trouble."

After thinking about it, I agree.

It seems there isn't such a rule.

On the other side, Qingyu Mikami continued towards the tower.

Hyuga Qicong's Byakugan senses the surrounding environment every few minutes, feeding back the location and movement trajectory of all nearby Chakra fluctuations to Qingyu and Kakashi.

"A small team is approaching from about one kilometer to the left rear; they're moving very fast."

Hyuga Ki suddenly stopped mining and pointed to his left rear.

There's another one 900 meters to the right rear.

"Two teams."

Kakashi drew Aya's short sword.

"Qi Congyi and I will take charge of one side, Qingyu, you'll provide support from the middle."

"No rush."

Qingyu shook her head.

"Let's get to the tower first. If they want to chase us, let them."

Seeing this, Kakashi and Hyuga Kikka had no choice but to continue following Qingyu.

Along the way, Hyuga Gencho's advances became more and more frequent, and the number of squads gathering around Qingyu continued to increase.

Three, four, and even the Kang branch—small teams from different directions, like iron filings drawn by Shi Shihao, converged unanimously on Qingyu's location.

Qingyu quickened her pace instead.

As dusk fell, Qingyu and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the special tower.

"Let's wait here."

Qingyu.

Ten minutes later.

Some ninjas, whether driven by greed or simply wanting to watch the spectacle, were all converging on the tower.

If someone else had acted so arbitrarily, I doubt many ninjas would have come.

But Qingyu's reputation has gradually spread.

Coupled with the actions taken in the first exam, the gravity was immediately maximized.

It can be said that every candidate in this year's cohort knew the name Qingyu.

"The tower is just ahead; we need to hurry, or others might snatch the spoils."

The speaker was Shimura Otani, a ninja from Shimura Otani Shimura Clan.

He was a burly man, wearing tight-fitting sleeveless chainmail.

His exposed arms were covered with both new and old scars.

The two companions behind him were one thin and strong, and the other short and stout; all three of them wore Konoha's symbol on their Forehead Protector.

"Let's be careful."

The short ninja spoke.

"Hmph, they've been around for three years, while Qingyu is just a newly graduated mining ninja."

Shimura Daitei interrupted the others.

Therefore, even the short ninja no longer objected.

Whoosh whoosh!

San Gong quickened his pace.

"It's finally here."

Qingyu looked at the things outside.

How many squads' Chakra fluctuations are there around?

Hyuga Kikka opened her Byakugan, her white pupils quickly scanning the surrounding area:

--

"There are at least 30 squads near the tower, three of which are within 300 meters and are approaching, while two others are observing from a distance and have no intention of approaching for the time being."

"Thirty?"

Qingyu called out to the dense forest, "Stop hiding! Since you're here, come out together. It's too much trouble to pack up one by one."

There was a moment of silence in the tree-lined area.

Then, a magnetic shadow slowly emerged from behind the tree trunk, from the bushes, and even from the branches.

Ninjas dressed in different clothes and from different clans entered the empty well in front of the tower one after another. Their eyes were all on Qingyu, and their expressions were all different.

"Even if you're a genius, how long can you hold out against so much attention all by yourself? You don't really think one person can take on all the squads in the entire Death Forest, do you?"

A squad of ninjas sneered.

Murata Yejì, standing next to him, pulled a Kunai from his Ninja Tool Pouch and twirled it between his fingers, his small, exposed eyes full of disdain. "I think he's gone crazy trying to be a hero, or maybe he simply doesn't know the thickness of the Magnet Heaven Well?"

These two were among the stronger candidates in this batch, and naturally they possessed some arrogance.
