The Chunin Exams End

Uchiha Inabi's outstanding performance, as well as his Great Fireball Inabi, captivated the ordinary people watching.

Wealthy merchants and nobles inquired about the boy's situation.

"That's a ninja from the Uchiha Clan."

"The Uchiha Clan is a family skilled in Fire Style techniques, and their Gunbai clan crest signifies their exceptionally powerful Fire Style abilities."

"The Uchiha Clan is the largest clan in Konoha."

The Konoha in the stands couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority towards these outsiders, and they all started to explain things to them.

These wealthy merchants, nobles, and a small number of Daimyo from minor states all showed expressions of admiration and longing upon hearing this.

Hyuga Hiashi upon hearing this.

Seeing Hyuga Hiashi 'Hiashi expression, the guard beside him secretly pondered and then understood.

"My Hyuga Clan is the number one clan in Konoha, don't get it wrong."

Hiashi, a guard Hiashi nearby, explained the Uchiha's fame to the Konoha of Konoha.

Upon seeing that it was the Hyuga Clan, the villagers all fell silent and did not argue.

Seeing the guards' outstanding performance, Hiashi's brows relaxed, and his expression immediately improved.

Thanks to the Uchiha Clan 'Naraku rule, the Uchiha Clan prospered.

This inspired the traditional Hyuga Clan to follow suit and utilize the ideas of young people.

Although the elders are experienced, they are too cautious. It's time for the Hyuga Clan to show some initiative.

Young people are undoubtedly the ones with a pioneering spirit.

And so, Hiashi's father, the old clan chief, abdicated and gave his position to Naraku Hyuga Hiashi around the same time as Naraku.

This decision was supported by many elders and the head of the Hyuga Clan.

The Hyuga Clan, a great clan with a history spanning thousands of years, is in a similar situation to the Uchiha clan, with numerous elders and clan heads, and many factions.

Fortunately, the Hyuga Clan possesses the Caged Bird Seal, which powerfully divides the Hyuga Clan into two families: the Main House and the Branch House.

The Main House is responsible for passing on the Hyuga Clan's Ninjutsu and reputation, Branch House is responsible for protecting the Main House.

Hyuga Hiashi was not yet twenty years old at the time, and was a classmate of Uchiha Nara. Naraku had been the clan head for many years, and his position in the clan was already secure.

Hyuga Hiashi is indeed very insightful. Having only been the clan head for two years, he has already sorted out the affairs of the Hyuga Clan. He has differing opinions on the Caged Bird Seal and the system of Branch House the main family from the Main House.

Hiashi did not adopt the arrogant and domineering attitude that often comes with controlling the fate of the Branch House, regarding his younger brother Hizashi Hyuga's Caged Bird Seal.

Although she appears indifferent and aloof on the surface, she actually feels guilty towards her twin brother and is helpless against the nearly thousand-year-old Caged Bird Seal.

Konoha 'Ten Thousand Person Arena

Both competitors have entered the arena. One young man, dressed in a white training uniform, stands out from the others with his pale purple pupils.

The Kusagakure was completely shrouded in a cloak, making it impossible to discern his true nature.

The referee stood in the middle of the field, waiting for the order to blow the whistle.

A member of the Anbu Ninja appeared beside Hyuga Hiashi Hiashi in Body Flicker Technique, handing him a note. After confirming that Hiashi had accepted the note, the member vanished in Body Flicker Technique.

Hiashi picked up the note and glanced at it. Upon seeing its contents, his brow furrowed, and a look of anger appeared on his face.

The note read, "Konoha has won too many matches, which is unfair. The Hyuga Clan is allowed to lose, but not win, in this match."

It turned out that the Hokage had ordered Hiashi to the Hyuga Clan that they could only lose, not win.

Hiashi took a deep breath and tucked the note into his sleeve.

The referee blew his whistle, and the fight began.

After the two Genin in the arena initially probed from a distance, the Kusagakure ninja Hand Seals.

Kusagakure is a village of ninjas that excels at learning, imitating and studying the Ninjutsu of various major countries.

Although the Kusagakure Genin was relatively unknown, his Hand Seals were incredibly fast.

A short while later, the Kusagakure Hand Seals, clasped his hands together, and completed the Tiger Seal.

It was a Fire Style ninjutsu.

Fire Style: Ghost Lantern!

Dozens of fireballs, each about the size of a fist, condensed beneath the feet of the ninja. They indeed resembled lantern flames. Controlled by the Kusagakure, the fireballs flew towards the Hyuga Clan ninja.

The Hyuga Clan ninjas seemed stunned, neither dodging nor evading, as countless fireballs bombarded them, causing small explosions that continued incessantly.

Naraku kept his Sharingan active, observing the scene, especially the unusual Ninjutsu from other countries, which piqued Naraku curiosity.

There are many Ghost Lantern, but they are not effective at explosives; their explosive power is not as great as that of the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.

"It worked?"

The Kusagakure Genin somewhat puzzled; he hadn't expected to win so easily.

A gasp of amazement came from the sidelines.

The Kusagakure, assuming the audience was impressed by his Ninjutsu, couldn't help but smile and look at the referee.

But the referee remained expressionless, Kusagakure Genin n't help but look doubtful.

Just as I was about to ask, I heard a voice behind me.

"You have now entered my Eight Trigrams Domain."

"What!?"

The genin struck a peculiar pose and attacked the Kusagakure genin from behind.

The Japanese ninja struck him sixteen times, finishing with a simultaneous attack from both hands.

The Kusagakure Genin took a full sixteen blows before being shoved face-first to the ground by the Hyuga Clan ninja behind him.

"Impossible! I was wearing soft armor under my cloak, and the soft armor had iron studs on it! How did you hurt me?!" the Kusagakure asked Genin.

"Everything about you is laid bare before my Byakugan. The Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist Technique can penetrate the body with Chakra. Your Chakra has been sealed by me. Surrender."

The Kusagakure Genin tried to gather Chakra, but was unable to do so; the key acupoints for Chakra in his body were sealed by needle-like Chakra.

The Kusagakure Genin realized he had lost and raised his hands in surrender.

The referee declared the Hyuga Clan ninja the winner.

The match wasn't particularly entertaining, but spectators outside the stadium were still asking about the winner.

These ninjas from small countries are all outstanding Genin from their respective villages. If they pass the Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha, they will receive more than just a promotion when they return home.

Chunin defected from Konoha usually Jonin in other ninja villages.

If Genin a small country can pass the Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha, he will be highly valued upon returning to the village and become an important Jonin.

Therefore, even though the Five Great Nations are powerful, when they hold the Chunin Ninja Exams, there is never a shortage of genin Genin smaller countries to challenge them.

Hiashi, watching from the stands, couldn't help but smile slightly as he saw the Hyuga Clan ninja defeat his enemy so swiftly.

His Uchiha Clan ninjas can shine brightly in the examination hall. But my Hyuga Clan is allowed to lose but not win? What kind of logic is that?

Hyuga Hiashi disobeyed the Hokage's instructions, ignoring the Hokage's notification.

On the high platform of the examination hall, Sarutobi Hiruzen, pipe in mouth, watched the match unfold, and the Hyuga Clan ninja emerged victorious.

"Heh, the Hyuga Clan is indeed quite impressive."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and praised him.

"Hmm, it's alright."

Mitokado Homura, oblivious to the atmosphere, offered a fair assessment of the ninjas present.

Danzo glanced at the Third Hokage and saw the Third Hokage's wide smile and cold eyes. According to facial expression studies, this contrast is a sinister grin.
