Chunin Selection Underway
In the following days, nothing more happened around Feng, Chunin Exams Konoha arrived as scheduled.
In the first written test, thanks to Feng's prior notice, Hozuki Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Yuki Haku didn't even start writing. They waited for Naruto Uzumaki to give them a long talk before submitting blank papers and passing the test.
When the examiner in charge of collecting the papers, Konoha's Special Jonin Morino Ibiki, looked at the four blank papers in his hand, his mouth twitched wildly; he was so angry he almost laughed.
The second exam was the Konoha Forest of Death free-for-all.
Aside from instructing Mangetsu and the others Genin kill any Konoha they encountered, Feng didn't give any other specific instructions.
After all, with their combined strength, even Orochimaru, who infiltrated the examination hall in the original story, would be no problem for them.
Not to mention that Sasuke is no longer in Konoha, and Orochimaru has lost interest in Sasuke's and other Bloodline Ninja ' bodies, so it's almost impossible for him to sneak into the exam hall this time.
In this way, only the examiner Mitarashi Anko and Gaara can threaten them in the entire chaotic battle of the Forest of Death, and that's only in a one-on-one situation. If the three of Mangetsu were to attack together, Anko and Gaara together would only lose.
And if something really happens, don't forget that they have another hidden identity in the examination hall, and his strength is no weaker than the three of them —Yakushi Kabuto.
If something still happens to Mangetsu and the other two with this setup, then Feng can only say that this is their destiny.
Clearly, none of the three were destined for misfortune.
Therefore, five days later, Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Haku successfully passed the test, and Orochimaru did not appear during the test.
Interestingly, these three eliminated Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji from Asuma Sarutobi's team, and naturally took their place in the Shikamaru Chunin Ninja Exams preliminaries in the original storyline.
Meanwhile, Konoha Root also sent a team to participate in the exam, led by Sai, who conveniently replaced Sasuke in the original story on the preliminary elimination round roster.
Thus, the one-on-one elimination preliminary rounds became:
The original match was between Sasuke Uchiha and Akadō Yoroi. Now it's Sai versus Akado. Akado's special ability is to absorb the opponent's Chakra by touching their body with his hands. However, he couldn't get close to Sai, who was fighting with the Ninjutsu: Super Beast Imitating Drawing. So Akado was defeated in no time.
Then it's the original Sakura Haruno vs. Ino Yamanaka, and now Sakura Haruno versus Suien (Haku). Without a doubt, Haku easily eliminates Sakura.
The original Shikamaru Nara vs. Kin-Tsuchi is now Kin Tsuchi versus Shizō (Kimimaro). It's an internal battle within the Otogakure on the surface, but Kin Tsuchi -Kimimaro's defenses, so the outcome is obvious.
The final match between Dosu Kinugami and Choji Akimichi turned into Dosu versus Saru-giri (Mangetsu), which was still an internal battle within the Otogakure. If you say there wasn't some behind-the-scenes manipulation, even a dog wouldn't believe it.
As expected, Dosu's sonic attack was powerful, but as Genin, he was too slow and was easily defeated by Mangetsu, who was skilled in swordsmanship and Jonin strength of Mangetsu.
Thus, neither Sakura Haruno nor Ino Yamanaka lost their fighting ability at the same time and were disqualified from the competition, nor did Dosu, who had defeated Choji, challenge Gaara to prove his strength to Orochimaru and was instantly killed.
This changed the original story's eight-person final elimination round a month later into a ten-person elimination round.
As for the final draw, it can only be said that Konoha went to great lengths to promote its own ninjas, even to the point of disregarding all shame.
Look at the match schedule. Originally, the first match should have been an internal Konoha battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyūga, but now it's Sai Naruto Uzumaki Temari, Sai Neji Hyūga Kankuro, Neji Hyuga versus Suien (White), Shino Aburame Saru-giri (Mangetsu), and Gaara versus Shizō (Kimimaro).
Not only did they avoid choosing any of the four Konoha Genin were to advance, but they also specifically picked their opponents and left Gaara, who was the most dangerous person on the surface, to the Otogakure.
In response, Feng secretly decided that, "Damn it, a month from now, not only will I empty Konoha, but I'll also have to go to Sarutobi's house and unleash another ' Formless Sword Intent' to cleanse my palate."
"Lord Feng, it seems that Lord Orochimaru is still hesitating about whether or not to actually kill the Third Hokage."
However, he has already traveled to the Land of Wind, planning to meet with Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure, to discuss how to attack Konoha.
And this is the information you requested, sir.
This Root the locations and information of several Root bases in Konoha; this contains information on the locations of some secret scrolls and the Book of Seals in the Hokage Tower; this is about the Kurama Clan ..."
A few days after the Chunin Ninja Exams preliminary elimination rounds ended, Yakushi Kabuto secretly visited Feng late at night.
Because he had been studying under Orochimaru and hadn't returned, his way of addressing Feng remained the same as before.
Faced with Dou's eloquent speech, Feng directly Teuchi and said:
"Stop! These aren't urgent, put them here for now, I'll look at them later."
"Tell me about your situation first, Dou. How's the human trial of White Zetsu Cells you mentioned before progressing? When will it end, and when will you return?"
Although the things Feng Yaodou was investigating were very useful, he wanted them all.
But in his heart, the results of the fusion of White Zetsu Cells and Uchiha, and Kabuto himself, were the most important, even more important than emptying the entire Konoha.
"My lord, the human experiments with White Zetsu cells have basically concluded, with encouraging results. Theoretically, the success rate of fusion with a single-tomoe Uchiha is over 50%, with two-tomoe reaching 70%, and three-tomoe reaching 90%. If it's the Mangekyou Sharingan, theoretically it's 100%."
Moreover, even if the fusion fails, the ultimate Yin Release of the Sharingan will suppress the opponent, preventing them from losing their lives; only their strength will decrease to varying degrees.
As for my subordinates, I promised Lord Orochimaru that I would help him complete the Konoha Crush Plan. Therefore, after Lord Orochimaru completes the Konoha Crush Plan during the Chunin Exams in one month, I will return to your command."
Upon hearing this, Dou's expression remained unchanged; he simply adjusted his glasses and then answered Feng's question.
But this time, he spoke much faster than before.
Clearly, Kabuto's heart was unsettled at the thought of returning to his adoptive mother, Yakushi Nonō.
"Will you come back after completing the Konoha Crush Plan?"
"Hehe, that's perfect. We're going to get involved too. When Orochimaru makes his move, come find us and we'll leave Konoha together."
"That works too. I'll let Lord Orochimaru know when he returns from the Land of Wind."
I would appreciate it if you could speak with Lord Orochimaru then. From what I understand, he currently considers himself no match for you and is willing to listen to your advice."
"Hehe, that's no problem at all. Let me know when he gets back and I'll go talk to him."
And once you return, I will not interfere in your life.
However, there's one thing: you must take the lead in fusing the White Zetsu Cells with the Uchiha. Once all the Uchiha have completed the fusion with the White Zetsu Cells, you can truly do whatever you want.
I hope you don't mind this.
"My lord, I understand. This is precisely the value I bring to you after my return."
I will complete this task without reservation, and train some people for you who can also perform White Zetsu Cells fusion surgery, so that your people can fuse White Zetsu Cells even without me."
"Haha, not bad, Dou, you really thought of everything."
"You flatter me, sir..."
With the news that Kabuto would soon be able to return with the White Zetsu Cells fusion technology, Feng and Kabuto had a very pleasant conversation afterward.
