The moment Kushina Uzumaki announced the official start of the Chunin Ninja Exams, the entire third floor of the Ninja Academy Kushina Uzumaki silent. Everyone awaited the content of the first Chunin Ninja Exams. At the same time, a look of seriousness flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes. He didn't believe that Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze would go easy on them, so as soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Uchiha Yue activated his Purple Eye to observe the surrounding situation.

World War II had only recently ended, and the Chunin Ninja Exams this period were far more difficult than those in the original story. Just like the genjutsu test that Uchiha Yue and others had previously taken, if Uzumaki Naruto from the original story had participated, they probably wouldn't even have qualified to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams; they would have been eliminated immediately.

Therefore, in order to successfully pass the first test of the Chunin Ninja Exams, Uchiha Yue, Hatake Kakashi, and Sarutobi Danzō all wore serious expressions, constantly paying attention to the surrounding intelligence. However, not long after Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, a group of Konoha Chunin at the third floor of the Ninja Academy. Originally, the third floor of the Ninja Academy was already very crowded with so many Genin who came to participate in the exams, and after these Konoha Chunin, the third floor of the Ninja Academy felt even more overcrowded.

However, Uchiha Yue's attention wasn't distracted by the large number of people. Instead, he used his Purple Eye to observe the arriving Konoha ninja with even greater focus. Moreover, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive the Konoha Chunin, he could detect that Chunin clothing was marked with the names of various foods and ingredients. Discovering this strange thing, Uchiha Yue naturally memorized it and even recited the various foods and ingredients noted on the clothing Chunin each Konoha.

Thanks to Uchiha Yue's extraordinary mental energy and photographic memory, he memorized the notes on the Uchiha Yue's uniforms in just three minutes. However, those Konoha Uchiha Yue on the third floor of the Ninja Academy Chunin Konoha full twenty minutes, until Kushina Uzumaki Konoha Chunin, at which point Chunin disappeared from the Konoha, each heading in a different direction.

Immediately afterwards...

After all the Konoha Chunin left, Minato Namikaze smiled and looked at the Genin before him, slowly saying, "Alright, let me explain the content of the first round of the Chunin Ninja Exams! Now, I'm going to distribute the list to each of your teams. You need to purchase the items listed on the list. Moreover, for every ingredient and material, you must purchase it from those Chunin just left. If you purchase any ingredients or materials in Konoha without permission, you will be disqualified from the exam."

Then, Minato Namikaze instructed his ninjas to distribute the list to Uchiha Yue and the other Genin.

Then, seeing that all the Genin teams in front of him were holding the lists they had been given earlier, Minato Namikaze paused slightly before continuing, "You all now have lists of the food and materials you need to purchase. Next, you need to buy those ingredients and materials from the designated Chunin within three hours. After you've finished purchasing, return to the assembly point. The team that successfully purchases all the ingredients and materials on the list within the allotted time and arrives here will have passed the first round of the Chunin Ninja Exams."

"Now, start the timer, let's go!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the Genin squad members on the third floor of the Ninja Academy responded simultaneously, preparing to search for the Chunin who had appeared earlier and purchase the materials and ingredients on their list from them. Of course, some were also frustrated because they hadn't taken any notes on what the Konoha Chunin like when they Chunin. Moreover, even if they could remember what the Konoha Chunin like, it wouldn't be so easy to distinguish which Chunin possessed which ingredients and materials.

Just like Sarutobi Danzō next to Uchiha Yue, he was pulling at his hair in frustration and sighing helplessly, "Tsuki-kun, Kakashi- kun, I didn't take any notes on what those Chunin looked like, and I didn't remember what ingredients and materials they had either. If we can't finish purchasing them within the time limit, we'll be eliminated! What are we going to do?!"

"It's okay, I've got it."

Hearing Sarutobi Danzō's words, Hatake Kakashi shook his head helplessly as well, saying, "The first test of the Chunin Ninja Exams is to test our intelligence gathering ability. When those Chunin appeared just now, I remembered their appearance and the markings on their clothes. However, finding those Chunin will still take some effort."

Hatake Kakashi then looked at Uchiha Yue in front of him and continued, "Tsukiyomi, you are a sensory-type ninja. The important task of finding those Chunin is entrusted to you!"

"No problem."

When Hatake Kakashi arrived, Uchiha Yue chuckled and nodded, saying, "I just noted down the appearances of those Chunin, as well as the markings on their clothes. So, finding those Chunin isn't too difficult. The real challenge is how to bring all the items on the list back here safely!"

At this point, Uchiha Yue's gaze shifted to the Genin who remained near the Ninja Academy, and he sneered, "See those guys? They didn't remember what the Chunin looked like, or the markings on their Chunin. So, they planned to steal the food and supplies the other teams bought when they returned. That way, they could easily pass the first exam."

"Therefore, we must be wary of other team members and prevent us from succeeding."

"Do you understand?"

"Um!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō both nodded heavily, and then they prepared to go find the Chunin.

In the vast Konoha, tracking down the Chunin Uchiha Yue. However, Uchiha Yue had already memorized the scents Chunin the Konoha Chunin, and his Purple Eye Konoha able to locate Chunin. But just as Uchiha Yue reached a Konoha and discovered that the markings on his clothes indicated the ingredients they needed, the Chunin turned and Chunin, leaving Hatake Kakashi and Konoha Sarutobi Danzō stunned.

"As expected, it's not that simple!"

Watching the Konoha Chunin to flee, Uchiha Yue smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Besides testing our intelligence gathering capabilities, it will also test our pursuit capabilities."

"The Chunin Ninja Exams are really interesting!"
