Evil Uchihas Don't Deserve to Be Chunin!

The first round of the exam was not quite the same as what Ruohuo remembered.

Come to think of it, it would be impossible to use the same test paper for decades, wouldn't it?

However, the content of the exam had some similarities.

For instance, mastering the art of cheating—or more accurately, the method of gathering intelligence—could earn you points.

In Ruohuo's view.

The final question about human nature that Naruto faced would certainly not appear during this period.

What a joke... The Third Ninja World War, the most dangerous time for Konoha, had seen the enemy push all the way to the doorstep of Jikyo Mountain.

In such a situation, when selecting people who could participate in the war, would they still prioritize human nature?

Then how should the death of White Fang be accounted for?

"Huh? White Fang?"

Ruohuo rubbed his chin. "At this time, White Fang should be heading out to execute that mission, right?"

If there was an opportunity, he could talk to Fugaku about backing White Fang up.

The system had already given a clear response.

After completing an S-rank mission, it seemed he could unlock a relationship module, which should support acquiring a few vassals or the like.

Although he didn't know if there would be more missions after an S-rank one—SS? SSS?

Regardless, having a few more helpers would certainly not be a disadvantage.

"Hmm... having White Fang find a widow in the Uchiha clan and marry into the family... that should be... impossible, right?"

Uchiha Sakumo? Uchiha Kakashi? That name would be a bit too long.

He felt White Fang wouldn't agree; after all, the Hatake clan was down to its last sprout.

"I wonder if Fugaku has the guts for it."

"If it really comes down to it, This Seat will have to step in personally."

Thinking this to himself, Ruohuo walked toward the second exam site.

"This exam should be more or less the same as the ones in the future."

Looking at the forest before him, Ruohuo felt he had it in the bag.

What he didn't know was that in front of the crystal ball, two old men were already arguing incessantly because of him.

"This is cheating! Monkey! This evil Uchiha does not deserve to be a Chunin!"

"But you were just saying he followed the rules!"

"That's different!" Danzo slammed his hand on the table. "He is violating the rules now. Cheating is not permitted; he should be disqualified!"

Third was furious. "This exam is meant to test the ability to gather intelligence. What on earth are you talking about, Danzo!"

"If he dares to cheat in the exam today, he will dare to steal Konoha's confidential intelligence for the Uchiha tomorrow. This is the inherent vice of the Uchiha; they are born evil, Monkey!"

"He is still just a child, Danzo!"

"Monkey... you disappoint me too much. Have you forgotten the teachings of our teacher?"

"How many times do I have to tell you, he is still a child! Danzo!"

"But the evil blood of the Uchiha flows through his veins!"

"You have gone too far, Danzo!"

"It is you who are too weak, Monkey. A brat like this doesn't deserve to be a ninja!"

"I am the Hokage!"

"You will regret this!"

One has to say, a ninja's physical constitution is truly excellent.

Even after arguing to this extent, neither of them showed any signs of high blood pressure or heart disease.

The two old men glared at each other for a full minute this time, and neither backed down.

Third didn't even bother to pay attention to the results being announced by the proctor in the crystal ball.

In the exam hall where Ruohuo was, only two teams besides him had passed the exam.

The pass rate was less than half...

Among them, Might Guy, relying on his years of exam experience and his experience as a Genin, had written down over thirty pieces of intelligence by himself.

This included the detailed identity information of several candidates in the same hall who had participated in the exam last year but failed, as well as the proctor himself...

Yes, this proctor was a former teammate of Might Duy; over a decade ago, they were students in the same year at the Ninja Academy...

"Regardless, he has already passed the first round of the exam."

Third sat back in his seat, relit his pipe, and said in a deep voice, "For the second round, this child has no teammates."

"No teammates?" Danzo narrowed his single eye. "Then why did you approve his participation in the exam?"

Danzo froze for a moment after he finished speaking.

He had almost forgotten; it seemed the Monkey hadn't wanted this brat to graduate from the very beginning, had he?

Then, what were they just doing...

"Orochimaru came to ask me before he went on his mission; he thinks very highly of this child."

The Third took a puff of his pipe. Once he calmed down, he realized how redundant that argument had been.

It was just a habit formed from years of bickering...

Whenever Danzo started, he always fell right into the rhythm.

"Time was tight, so there wasn't enough time to match this child with teammates, and there are no other solo candidates in this batch."

The Third said in a deep voice, "I never intended for the children to advance too quickly; this Chunin exam will serve as an experience."

The Third had effectively set a flag.

"Hmph!" Danzo let out a cold snort and didn't continue.

A six-year-old brat, wanting to pass the Chunin exam alone?

"Hmm?" Danzo narrowed his eyes.

The Monkey might do some foolish things, but based on his understanding of Orochimaru, that guy was not like his teacher...

Could it be that Orochimaru actually believed this brat had the ability to pass the Chunin exam?

If that were truly the case...

"What are you thinking about?" the Third suddenly asked.

"I am thinking about that brat's cheating behavior just now."

Danzo said coldly, "Although he violated the exam regulations, I must say, he caught the loopholes in the exam twice in a row."

"Catching a loophole does not equate to a violation, Danzo." The Third continued to smoke, staring at Danzo as he spoke.

"Irrelevant... What I value is the talent for espionage he possesses."

Having said that, without waiting for the Third to respond, Danzo shook his head with feigned disdain. "It's a pity he's an Uchiha; otherwise, Root might have considered cultivating him."

"..." The Third continued to smoke, staring at Danzo for a long time before finally shifting his gaze back to the exam arena.

"If Kagami were still alive... Danzo, you would disappoint him greatly."

"If Kagami were still alive, he would have kept the Uchiha in check, Monkey."

At the mention of their old friend, both old men tacitly chose silence.

But Danzo knew.

He had won this round of confrontation...

Inside the crystal ball.

Ruohuo stood with the other remaining candidates in front of the gate to the second exam arena.

A scroll had already appeared in his hand.

"The time limit for this exam ends at the same time seven days from now."

"The only thing you must do is use any means necessary within the arena to collect both the 'Heaven' and 'Earth' scrolls."

"Then, head to the central tower; doing so will be considered passing the exam."

"Take note: if you cannot hold on during the exam or encounter danger, you may open the scroll immediately, but it will be considered as forfeiting the exam."

The female examiner explained the rules, which were similar to those in Ruohuo's memories.

It was just a pity she wasn't wearing fishnets, and her figure wasn't as hot as the future Anko.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen little Anko in a long time."

"I wonder if that girl has missed me..."

While silently recording all the candidates in his mind, Ruohuo chewed on a rice ball and thought to himself.
