When Mirai returned to Ayame's home, Ayame was still wrapped in a bath towel, hiding motionlessly in silence.

The moment she saw Mirai appear, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Chunin Exams were about to take place, and ninjas from various villages were currently gathered in the village.

So Ayame was afraid that the ninja on the roof earlier might have been from another village.

After all, if they were not Konoha ninjas, no one knew whether ninjas from other villages would dare cause trouble in Konoha.

"It's alright now!"

Mirai pulled Ayame up, wrapped his arms around her, and gently patted her back.

"Mhm!"

In Mirai's embrace, Ayame finally relaxed.

Then, she suddenly seemed to realize that she was naked beneath the towel, and her entire body instantly stiffened.

"Mm..."

At that moment, Mirai suddenly kissed Ayame, and the two fell into a sweet, lingering kiss.

Bang bang bang...

A sudden knock sounded at the door. Ayame jumped in fright and hurriedly pushed Mirai away.

The bath towel slipped from her body, exposing Ayame completely before Mirai.

She hurriedly grabbed the towel to cover herself, then, mortified beyond measure, rushed into her room and slammed the door shut.

Still savoring the sight, Mirai reluctantly walked to the entrance and opened the front door.

"Karin, why are you here?"

Seeing Karin standing shyly at the door, Mirai looked puzzled.

Clearly, he had no idea why Karin had suddenly come over at this time.

"Q-Mirai, tomorrow is the Chunin Exams. I was wondering if you'll be participating!"

Hearing that, Mirai smiled and gave her a head pat.

"As a Konoha ninja, of course I'll participate! I remember you're a contestant too, right? You need to do your best as well!"

Karin nodded with a flushed face and said, "Then Mirai, you have to do your best too!"

After saying that, she immediately ran off.

Mirai's hand remained awkwardly suspended in midair.

Watching Karin run away, Mirai shook his head and closed the door again.

"Ayame! Open the door and let me in!"

Mirai quietly approached Ayame's bedroom door. He had intended to open it silently, only to discover that it was locked.

"Q-Mirai, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first. You still have the exam tomorrow!"

Ayame's voice came from inside the room, intermittent and bashful.

"Ah... seriously?"

Mirai's face was filled with disappointment.

Then, with a bang, the bedroom door opened. Ayame kissed Mirai on the face, then hurriedly shut the door again.

"This is to encourage you to get good results in tomorrow's Chunin Exams!"

Ayame's voice came from inside the room again, slightly faint.

But Mirai heard it clearly.

Besides Ayame's voice, Mirai could also hear her heart pounding violently.

"Alright, then I'll be going. Make sure you get some rest too!"

With a faint smile, Mirai used the Flying Thunder God and left.

Only after hearing no movement outside the door did Ayame open it, standing there blankly with a flushed face.

By the time Mirai returned home, he realized it was already very late.

"System, I want to check in!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received the check-in reward: Indra's Origin, Peak Sage Body!"

Stunned!

Mirai had only one word to describe himself right now: stunned!

Indra's Origin—everyone knew about that. It was Hashirama's origin.

As long as Mirai obtained Asura's Origin as well, he would be able to use the two origins to gain the Rinnegan.

Once he obtained the Rinnegan, he could activate Six Paths Mode and become a new Sage of Six Paths.

As for the Peak Sage Body, that was truly fucking awesome.

This was Senju Hashirama's physique—at the peak of his strength, no less.

One had to know that at his peak, Senju Hashirama's ninjutsu could practically be called forbidden techniques.

And to use ninjutsu that could be considered forbidden techniques, it was impossible without an equivalent supply of chakra.

This Sage Body was the pillar supporting Senju Hashirama's repeated extravagance.

One had to know that peak Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha had fought a battle at the Valley of the End.

That battle had shaken heaven and earth, even more intense than a battle between tailed beasts.

One could imagine just how powerful the ninjutsu had been at the time, and how enormous the chakra consumption was.

And now, with this peak Sage Body, according to Mirai's estimate, it should be Senju Hashirama's peak physique from the time of the Valley of the End.

In other words, from now on, he no longer needed to worry about chakra.

He could use it whenever he wanted—running out of mana was no longer a problem.

Thinking of this, Mirai grew excited once more!

"Chunin Exams, here I come..."

Chunin Exam venue!

The first round was a written test.

Mirai sat in the classroom he had once used, his face full of helplessness.

A written test—why was it another written test?

But this young master wasn't afraid. He had the Sharingan.

At that moment, a tall man with a face covered in scars walked in.

"My name is Morino Ibiki. I am the proctor for this exam!"

After briefly introducing the rules of the written test, Morino Ibiki handed out the papers.

Once everyone received their test papers, they began their own campaign.

Watching the various cheating methods everyone employed, Mirai could only call them brilliant.

As the saying went, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each displaying their own divine abilities!

Hinata activated her White Eye and copied answers openly, not nervous in the slightest. She could look at whoever's answers she wanted.

Ino was impressive as well. Once she used the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique, she too could look at whoever's answers she wanted.

Other than a few special cases, they could practically be said to fear nothing.

As for Tenten, a good student had no need to copy.

Naruto kept looking around, wanting to copy but unable to find anyone to copy from.

Sakura was the same as Tenten—a good student needed no explanation.

As for Sasuke, his Sharingan was activated, and he was copying answers.

"What's this?"

At that moment, Mirai spotted a sand eye lying beside Sakura, looking at her test paper.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Gaara's method. It was quite clever too.

Mirai pinched two fingers together, and a lightning needle appeared at his fingertips.

With a chuckle, he flicked the lightning needle toward the sand eye.

With a soft pfft, the sand eye silently burst apart.

When the sand eye shattered, anger rose in Gaara's heart. He looked around, trying to find out who had done it.

Seeing no one, Gaara could only suppress the anger in his heart and release another sand eye.

Just as the sand eye went out and prepared to peek, it was attacked again and silently vanished.

Seemingly noticing that Gaara was having a problem, Kankuro immediately controlled his puppet and hurriedly sent answers to Gaara.

Then, just as the puppet arrived in front of Gaara, Mirai's lightning needle struck again.

The puppet instantly fell apart before Gaara, turning into piece after piece of debris.

And at that moment, Gaara finally realized that Mirai had done all of this.

Gaara stared fixedly at Mirai, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Kankuro was the same, glaring at Mirai in fury.
