Sound Ninja Trio

The Chunin Exams had clear rules: applicants had to register in teams of three.

"No teammates?"

"Kid, are you here to mess with us? Go on, get lost. Go wherever you can cool off..."

The Chunin in charge of registration impatiently shooed Zhi Ge away.

Zhi Ge: "..."

Jiraiya was way too unreliable when it came to handling things, wasn't he?

He had thought Jiraiya had already made the arrangements. Who would have thought that he did not even qualify to register now?

This was totally Barbie Q!

At this rate, he was probably not going to complete the system mission!

Zhi Ge was utterly speechless.

He raised a hand to his forehead, feeling a little headache coming on.

But in the next moment, his eyes drifted toward Kakashi beside him, and they suddenly lit up!

He looked intently at Fifty-Fifty Hatake and chuckled. "Senior, have you read Silver Vase Plum?"

"???"

Kakashi Hatake looked up at Zhi Ge's faint smile, and his eyes immediately widened.

Zhi Ge looked at Kakashi with a faint smile, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Kakashi leaped up from his seat at once, staring at Zhi Ge with a face full of excitement and disbelief.

"Y-you... what did you say?!"

Zhi Ge glanced at the registration desk and calmly said, "Senior, do you want to read the latest chapter of Silver Vase Plum?"

Kakashi's eyes widened. Well, not both eyes. Just one.

Of course he did!

As a seasoned pervert, how could he not? He dreamed about it!

Make-Out Paradise was good, but it was nowhere near as good as Silver Vase Plum!

"What? You know Silver Vase Plum too?"

Kakashi asked in a low voice.

"Heh! Of course."

Zhi Ge chuckled.

"To be honest, Senior, I am the author of Silver Vase Plum."

"Tch! You're lying, right? You're just a kid. How could you possibly write that kind of novel?"

Naturally, Kakashi did not believe Zhi Ge. His face was full of disbelief.

"Senior Kakashi, please look here!"

As he spoke, Zhi Ge brought out his trump card.

It was the latest chapter of Silver Vase Plum!

"Senior, this is the newest unpublished chapter of Silver Vase Plum."

Zhi Ge waved the novel in his hand with a wicked grin.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!! Holy shit!!!"

He had never expected this brat to be the author of Silver Vase Plum!

There was no way this could be wrong. Only the author could have the latest Silver Vase Plum, and an unpublished chapter at that.

Kakashi loved Silver Vase Plum far too much.

It had taught him so much knowledge he had never understood, and so many positions he had never known.

Zhi Ge calmly watched Kakashi, then glanced at the registration desk without saying a word.

Kakashi understood immediately. He slowly walked toward the Chunin in charge of registration. "Register him first. I'll report this to Lord Hokage afterward."

"But..."

The Chunin all twitched at the corners of their mouths. Still, none of them dared offend Kakashi, so they could only obediently let Zhi Ge register his name.

"So this is Konoha? What trash. A piece of trash without even a single teammate can register? What a joke!"

At that moment, a mocking voice came from behind them.

Zhi Ge frowned slightly and turned toward the voice, only to see an arrogant man approaching.

The man had gray-black hair spiked upward like a wolf's mane. Three red characters for "death" were printed on his ocher outer garment, and Zhi Ge saw wind holes in the palms of his hands.

Zhi Ge knew this man. His name was Zaku.

Two others stood behind him, one with spiky hair and one with long hair.

The Sound Ninja Trio!

They were all Orochimaru's subordinates!

Zaku looked at Zhi Ge with disdain and sneered, "I could destroy trash like this with the lift of a hand, yet Konoha treats him like treasure. Looks like Konoha is nothing special either. I really..."

But before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

Because Zhi Ge had already left an afterimage behind and punched him in the face.

Bang!

With a dull thud, Zaku was sent flying, carving a deep scorched trail across the ground.

Zhi Ge turned back and gave him an indifferent look. "Did I give you permission to speak?"

Everyone: "..."

After a long while, Dosu, the one with spiky hair, finally came back to his senses and roared at Zhi Ge, "Brat, you're courting death!"

But...

The instant his voice fell, Zhi Ge had already closed in!

Dosu's expression changed drastically!

He clearly had not sensed the slightest Chakra fluctuation from this brat. It did not look like ninjutsu.

And it did not seem to be genjutsu either.

If it was neither ninjutsu nor genjutsu, then it had to be Taijutsu.

But how could Taijutsu be this strong?!

That speed was too fast!

Before he could react, the other party's attack had already arrived.

Bang!

Dosu was sent flying as well, slamming heavily into Zaku.

The two of them ended up in intimate contact.

Zhi Ge dusted off his clothes and spoke blandly. "The Sound Ninja Trio, is this all you've got? What trash! You dare enter the competition with this level of skill? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourselves?"

After speaking, he turned and indifferently looked at Kin, who stood off to the side, completely dumbfounded!

He merely watched her in silence!

For some reason, a chill instantly ran down Kin's spine!

Her face turned slightly pale, and her body trembled faintly.

She had clearly been stunned by what Zhi Ge had just done.

Silence!

At that moment, the area was as silent as death!

A pin could have been heard dropping!

The Chunin stared blankly at the scene, their faces filled with shock.

Wasn't this boy a little too strong?

Shikamaru gave Zhi Ge a deep look from the side but said nothing.

"Ah! You're dead! You fucking bastard, you're dead!"

After a long while, Zaku and Dosu slowly rose from the ground. Veins bulged on their foreheads as they stared fixedly at Zhi Ge, clearly enraged beyond measure.

The two exchanged a glance and charged madly at Zhi Ge. At the same time, Kin followed close behind.

Three against one!

Shikamaru's expression tightened slightly as his hands rapidly formed seals before his chest.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ge looked at the Sound Ninja Trio charging at him, his expression calm, and then...

Instead of retreating, he advanced!

At that moment, the Chunin in charge of registration were all stunned!

One against three!

And those three Sound Ninja were clearly quite strong.

Yet instead of backing down, this brat was taking the initiative to attack?

"Hmph! Courting death! Then go die!"

Seeing Zhi Ge charge toward them, Zaku was briefly stunned. Then a cold curve formed on his lips, and killing intent spilled forth.

Thud!

At that moment, a figure stepped between Zhi Ge and the Sound Ninja Trio.

Kakashi held Make-Out Paradise in his hand. He turned around and gave the Sound Ninja Trio an indifferent look.

Just one look.

Zaku and the other two turned pale and subconsciously swallowed.

They felt killing intent from that eye!

Intense killing intent!

The three exchanged looks. Zaku coldly said, "Bullying the weak with strength, is this what Konoha..."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

Kakashi kicked him away.

Then he gave the terrified Dosu and Kin an indifferent glance and spoke coldly.

"This is Konoha! If you don't like it, feel free to call whoever you want. Anyway... I'm Fifty-Fifty Hatake. Do whatever you want!"
