"Cough cough..."

As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi coughed lightly, then secretly gestured to Uchiha Yue, signaling him to explain the matter.

Uchiha Yue, also fearing Hatake Kakashi inappropriate, whispered to Kushina Uzumaki, "Kushina, the members of that Kirigakure team are all very strong, which is why we weren't able to defeat them in the first exam. But don't worry, you should have plenty of time in the second exam. Given enough time, I believe that with Kakashi's and my strength, we can definitely eliminate the entire Kirigakure team!"

"That's right! This is more like the moon!"

Hearing Uchiha Yue's boastful words, Kushina Uzumaki nodded with satisfaction and said, "However, Yue, don't go too far! The second exam is just the semi-finals; there's still the final round. So, you only need to eliminate some of the genin who came to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams. Genin the real opponents for the finals! Otherwise, when the finals come, we'll only be able to watch you, Kakashi, and Danzo compete!"

"Yes, I know."

Undoubtedly, both Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze believed in the strength of Uchiha Yue and his companions, confident they could easily eliminate all the Genin teams present. Therefore, when Uchiha Yue was about to eliminate all the Kirigakure teams, Kushina Uzumaki deliberately gave him an Uchiha Yue. However, even with their considerable strength, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi still faced some difficulties in defeating all the Genin teams before them.

After all, there are quite a few strong opponents in this Chunin Ninja Exams, such as Mei Terumi and Sasori of the Sasori of the Red Sands, whom Uchiha Yue wants to deal with in the finals. Opponents like Mei Terumi and Uchiha Yue. If he eliminates their teams too early, Uchiha Yue will find the Chunin Ninja Exams finals somewhat boring.

However, with the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams about to begin, Uchiha Yue was slightly worried about Sarutobi Danzō. At the very beginning of the Chunin Ninja Exams, Uchiha Yue noticed that Sarutobi Danzō's performance was poor, completely disproportionate to his strength. Ultimately, Uchiha Yue could only deduce that Sarutobi Danzō was nervous, causing him to underperform slightly.

Now, Uchiha Yue only hopes that Sarutobi Danzō can return to normal by the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams. Otherwise, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi will also face elimination, since the first two rounds of the Chunin Ninja Exams do not test the individual strength of ninjas, but rather the overall strength of the entire team.

It seems that Mei Terumi's and Sasori of the Red Sands's teams are well-established, with excellent teamwork among the members. During the recent battle against Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki's team, Uchiha Yue specifically observed Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki's coordination and found it to be incredibly skillful. Even another unknown Kirigakure ninja performed exceptionally well. Therefore, Uchiha Yue is now worried that Sarutobi Danzō back in the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Then, in order to ease Sarutobi Danzō's tension, Uchiha Yue started chatting casually with Hatake Kakashi.

At the same time, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, to avoid suspicion, also disappeared from the sight of Uchiha Yue and the others. Immediately afterward, Hatake Kakashi, realizing Uchiha Yue's intentions, deliberately teased Sarutobi Danzō, saying, "Yue, why didn't you tell Minato-sensei and Kushina- sensei the truth just now? If you like Mei Terumi, just be honest, why beat around the bush!"

"Kakashi, shut up!"

Undoubtedly, even if the goal was to alleviate the pressure on Sarutobi Danzō, Uchiha Yue would not want to use this method.

After all, Uchiha Yue had no interest in Mei Terumi, but Hatake Kakashi had always been like that, which made Uchiha Yue somewhat conflicted.

But to everyone's surprise, Hatake Kakashi started a very good topic, and then Uchiha Yue noticed that Sarutobi Danzō was interested, so he asked, "Tsuki-kun, do you like that girl from Kirigakure?"

"That's right, Yue likes her!"

Before Uchiha Yue could explain, Hatake Kakashi said calmly, "But Yue, don't blame me for being nosy, but if possible, it would be better to eliminate their team early. Even if it's just to make the finals a little more exciting, I feel we should still eliminate some strong opponents. Like Mei Terumi's Kirigakure team and Sasori of the Red Sands's Sunagakure team, they are both targets we need to eliminate. I can't wait to fight them, I can't wait for the finals!"

"Oh?"

Hatake Kakashi finished speaking, Uchiha Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Kakashi, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple: war!"

At this point, Hatake Kakashi's eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit. He said, "Moon, when we fought those Kirigakure teams just now, I felt that those kinds of battles were much more interesting. So, as soon as the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams begins, we'll go straight for Mei Terumi's Kirigakure team and Sasori of the Red Sands's Sunagakure team! Ideally, we'll eliminate most of the Genin teams participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, leaving only a few weaker teams!"

"The real finals will be our stage to shine!"

"At that time, our Konoha will take all the spots for advancement!"

"And I really look forward to seeing you in the finals, Moon!"

Hearing Hatake Kakashi's words, not only did Uchiha Yue look at Hatake Kakashi with great interest, but even Sarutobi Danzō felt his blood boil. Then, before Uchiha Yue could speak, Sarutobi Danzo nodded heavily and said, "Yuki-kun, Kakashi- Sarutobi Danzō, don't worry! I definitely won't hold you back in the second exam!"

"If possible, I hope to achieve our goal together with you!"

"That means eliminating all competing teams and having Konoha take all the qualifying spots!"

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō shared the same opinion, Uchiha Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Since you're both so interested, I won't say anything more. However, dealing with Mei Terumi and Sasori of the Red Sands's team won't be easy. So, don't forget the tactics we devised earlier, and make sure you coordinate well during the battle!"

Then, Uchiha Yue's gaze fell on Sarutobi Danzō, and he said solemnly, "Especially you, Danzo!"

Whether we can achieve our goal depends on your performance!
