The Chunin Exams Arrive

Ōnoki rolled into the ruins in an instant.

Chuan Yu slowly turned around.

The wounds on his body were healing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

Rasa frowned and struck first.

He manipulated the golden sand to close in on Chuan Yu.

Chuan Yu kicked a long blade from the ground, driving it into the gold dust.

"Sage Art! Lightning Flow!"

Lightning rapidly spread across the surface of the sand.

In an instant.

It was like loose sand.

Everything collapsed and scattered.

Rasa's arms were immediately struck with numbness.

Bolstered by the Sage Art.

Chuan Yu summoned his Susanoo once again.

This time.

The color on its surface shifted.

Seven-colored light danced around its body.

The massive arm reached out and gripped Rasa directly.

Crimson flames surged toward him without end.

The searing heat forced a scream from Rasa's lips.

Ōnoki flew out from the ruins.

He pressed his palms together.

Dust Release was unleashed once more.

The arm of the Susanoo was severed instantly.

Rasa tumbled to the ground.

"To possess such strength..."

"Kid, who exactly are you!"

Ōnoki stared coldly at Chuan Yu.

In his memory.

Konoha clearly had no such figure.

Moreover, Chuan Yu was still just a child.

Chuan Yu knew.

If he wanted to end the war.

He had to strike at Ōnoki.

If he couldn't defeat him.

Perhaps Kotoamatsukami would be the best choice...

During the previous battle with Danzō.

Chuan Yu had used Kotoamatsukami once.

This had sent Kotoamatsukami into a cooldown period.

But after slaying Danzō.

Chuan Yu had obtained a small amount of Hashirama Cells from Danzō's right arm.

This had allowed Kotoamatsukami to quickly bypass its cooldown.

"Does the Rock Village truly wish for the chaos of war to affect the village?"

Chuan Yu spoke slowly.

He released Kotoamatsukami silently.

Ōnoki did not notice it at all.

As these words entered his mind.

They began to loop infinitely.

This time.

Chuan Yu had cast Kotoamatsukami solely upon Ōnoki.

As for Rasa.

He would surely not escape Orochimaru's sneak attack upon his return.

The Konoha Crush Plan was imminent.

"You may go."

Chuanyu said to Rasa indifferently.

Upon hearing that Chuanyu would let him go, Rasa immediately fled the command post with Baki.

The Sand Village withdrew its troops.

Meanwhile, the Rock Village, while compromising, also signed a peace treaty.

All of this was thanks to Chuanyu.

A hero, truly deserving of his name.

This battle.

Uchiha Chuanyu's name resounded between the two nations.

Uchiha Fugaku's face was filled with unconcealable pride.

After returning to the village.

The village returned to its former peace.

And Chuanyu, hailed as the Hero of Konoha.

Suddenly received a challenge letter.

The sender called himself a worthy opponent...

No need to think.

Chuanyu knew with his toes who it was.

Ichiraku Ramen.

Chuanyu was savoring a bowl of delicious ramen.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him.

Thick eyebrows, large eyes.

A green, tight-fitting suit.

A shiny black watermelon-shaped hairstyle.

"Boss!"

"Give me eight hundred bowls of noodles!"

Chuanyu, who was eating ramen, almost choked.

"Cough cough..."

"Might Guy..."

"Can you calm down for a bit..."

Chuanyu wiped his mouth and said dejectedly.

Might Guy stared intently at Chuanyu with his wise eyes.

"Let me join Root."

"Or fight me!"

"Choose one!"

Chuanyu finished his ramen soup and patted his belly with satisfaction.

"Root is currently all Uchiha clansmen."

"Even if you join, you'd be an outsider."

"As for fighting you..."

"You should find Kakashi instead..."

"Boss, the bill!"

Chuanyu stood up and took out his wallet.

Teuchi looked at Might Guy, dumbfounded.

It was probably because Might Guy's order of eight hundred bowls of noodles had startled him.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

So he still hadn't reacted.

"As a strong person!"

"Whether it's training!"

"Or eating!"

"You must charge forward! Be the first!"

"You're full after just one bowl!"

"This is an insult to youth!"

Chuan Yu's jaw nearly dropped.

"Excuse me..."

"What does eating have to do with youth..."

Might Guy was dismissive.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

He slammed the table hard.

"Bring food!"

And so...

While eating noodles, Might Guy stared fiercely at Chuan Yu.

As if to say...

Look how awesome I am!

Can you do it?!

Then...

In a corner of the street.

Might Guy buried his head in a trash can...

"Gag..."

"Gag... I won!... Gag!"

Chuan Yu patted Might Guy's back with a helpless expression.

"Sigh..."

"Youth is practically a treasure to you..."

Graduation season.

Sasuke successfully graduated from the academy.

Naruto also gained Iruka's approval.

Kakashi naturally became their teacher.

Almost forgot...

There was also Haruno Sakura...

That pink-haired annoying ghost...

After the battle with Zabuza Momochi.

Sasuke had clearly grown a lot.

But what was interesting was.

When he blocked the ice needles for Naruto.

Sasuke's left eye awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.

His right eye was still one-tomoe.

A 1.5 version Sharingan?

Interesting...

The Chunin Exams arrived.

The five great nations sent their students to Konoha to compete.

And what Chuan Yu looked forward to the most.

Was still Sasuke's growth.

Although Chuan Yu was very harsh on Sasuke on the surface.

He still cared about him deeply in his heart.

Because of Itachi's betrayal.

Chuan Yu cherished the bond between brothers even more.

He did not want Sasuke to tread that path once again.

And he certainly did not want to face Itachi's departure ever again.

"Why are there so many people I've never seen before in the main arena?"

Naruto looked around, feeling dejected.

Every face here was a stranger.

Yet Konoha only had four teams present.

In a daze, Chuan Yu caught a glimpse of Yakushi Kabuto.

And right beside him, the trio from the Sound Village were there as well...

It seemed Rasa had already met with misfortune...

Orochimaru had already infiltrated Konoha...

"I suddenly have a feeling that something isn't right today..."

Kakashi leaned against the railing and said lazily.

"You feel it too?"

Chuan Yu furrowed his brows, vigilantly scanning the crowd.

"Yeah..."

"Might Guy isn't here today..."

"No wonder..."

Chuan Yu looked at Kakashi, feeling sullen.

Kakashi glanced sideways and offered an awkward smile...

In the backstage preparation room, Might Guy was adjusting his attire.

"While everyone is here!"

"Once the Chunin Exams are over, I shall challenge him directly!"

"The strongest man in Konoha versus the hero of Konoha!"

"I am so looking forward to this..."

After checking himself in the mirror, Might Guy curled his lips in a narcissistic grin.

The massive screen above the exam arena suddenly lit up.

The matches were about to begin.

As the students entered the main arena, Chuan Yu spotted Sasuke right behind Naruto.

"I've put Sasuke through some brutal training during this time."

Kakashi suddenly spoke up.

"Are you telling me this to prove something..."

Chuan Yu turned his head and said indifferently.

Kakashi chuckled.

"That sword technique you showed off back then..."

"Would it be possible to..."

Chuan Yu looked at Kakashi with confusion.

"I thought it was something important."

"That's it?"

Hearing Chuan Yu's response, Kakashi immediately began nodding his head frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

"No."

In an instant, Kakashi fell silent...
