Ibiki Morino

Zhi Ge watched as Zaku stood there in a daze, too startled to waste any words as he abruptly spat the air from his stomach in an instant.

Zaku failed to dodge in time, and was knocked out cold head-on by his own Air-Cutting Wave.

"Hold on!"

Right at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Zhi Ge. Zhi Ge glanced back and saw that it was actually Kin from the Sound Ninja Team.

"What? You wouldn't happen to want to ambush me, would you? I have no interest in hitting women, you'd better stand aside!"

Zhi Ge said coldly.

Hearing this, a trace of awkwardness immediately appeared on Kin's face.

Yet as a member of the Sound Ninja, she had to fight.

"Sorry! But please let me teach you a lesson, you arrogant little brat!"

With that, Kin launched an attack straight at Zhi Ge!

"Boom!"

Kin's fist smashed fiercely toward Zhi Ge.

Seeing this, everyone else held their breath.

"Humph!"

Zhi Ge let out a cold snort, twisted his body, and dodged Kin's attack cleanly.

Even though this woman's attack power was quite strong, it was a pity her speed wasn't fast, and her strength wasn't particularly formidable either. In his eyes, it was practically like slow-motion playback!

"What?! What are these wires?"

After dodging Kin's attack, Zhi Ge suddenly discovered that there were two thin wires on his clothes that were hard to spot with the naked eye.

These two thin wires kept wrapping around his body, making his flesh feel an inexplicable sense of numbness.

This feeling was very strange, as if he were being bound by an invisible force!

"What's going on? Why can't my body move?"

Just as Zhi Ge was wondering, a voice suddenly appeared by his ear.

Hearing this, Zhi Ge was startled and hurriedly looked up.

He saw that Kin was looking at him with a cold smile, while ten extremely sharp senbon were held in her hand.

"You!"

Zhi Ge was alarmed, not expecting this woman's attack to be so ingenious. This didn't look like a method a woman should have at all, but rather more like the effect brought by some kind of ninja tool!

"That's right! This is my ninjutsu, controlling the senbon through special wires. Even though you are strong, it's just a pity that you are going to die under my blade tools right away!"

As Kin spoke, she let her ten fingers flick fiercely. Those senbon flew rapidly toward Zhi Ge as if they had encountered a magnet.

"Interesting! I admit you have more brains than that wind guy from before, but this level is nowhere near enough for me!"

"What?!"

"Gum-Gum Machine Gun!"

Just as Zhi Ge finished speaking, his arms directly stretched out at high speed, and in that instant, his fists struck Kin's body like raindrops.

The body of this woman named Kin was as frail as paper, completely unable to withstand a single blow!

Bang bang bang bang!

One could only hear the sound of Kin's bones snapping ring out continuously. Her body was like a shattered ragdoll, batted away by Zhi Ge again and again, slamming heavily onto the ground.

Her entire body was beaten until it swelled up, and there wasn't a single patch of intact skin left.

"Wow! Am I going a bit too far? This is practically an enhanced version of the Return-to-Youth Fist!"

Looking at Kin, who had been beaten into a pig's head as she lay on the ground, Zhi Ge couldn't help but sigh.

It really was so violent!

Yet this kind of violence possessed an unspeakable aesthetic!

"Cough cough..."

At that moment, Kin coughed a few times and turned her head toward Dosu.

Dosu was the captain of the Sound Ninja Team, yet at this moment, his two teammates had been directly taken down by Zhi Ge in under a minute.

Isolated and helpless, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"How about it? Still want to continue provoking me?"

Seeing Dosu's cowardly appearance, Zhi Ge couldn't help but ask teasingly.

Upon hearing Zhi Ge's words, Dosu shook his head hurriedly, indicating that he would not continue to make a move.

Though he still felt a hundred times unconvinced in his heart, there were more important matters waiting for him to carry out on his shoulders.

He could not expose his trump cards before the eyes of the Leaf Ninja prematurely.

"Sorry! We were too rash! I apologize to you on behalf of my two teammates!"

Seeing this fellow named Dosu apologize to him with a sincere attitude, Zhi Ge couldn't help but be taken aback.

It seemed this guy was also a sensible person!

However!

Regardless of whether he was sensible or not, he was definitely going to settle this score today!

With a cold look in his eyes, Zhi Ge gazed at Dosu, and then his figure flickered and vanished right where he stood.

At the sight of this, Dosu was instantly startled.

Damn it!

Was this brat hiding in the dark, preparing to ambush him?!

What was he trying to do?!

Panic struck Dosu's heart, and he hurriedly tried to run away, but his speed was nowhere near a match for Zhi Ge. In a mere second, Zhi Ge appeared behind him and made an attacking motion.

Zhi Ge said coldly:

"I won't kill you! However, after mocking me, it's impossible to retreat unscathed right in front of me!"

"Stop!"

Right at that moment, a deep, raspy voice halted Zhi Ge, who was about to strike.

Everyone looked back and saw a Leaf Jonin with a scar across his face.

"You're Zhi Ge, right? There's nothing wrong with teaching ignorant people a lesson, but you at least have to give me, the proctor of this first exam, some face. Don't go too far."

Looking at this fellow covered in facial scars and stubble before him, Zhi Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

How could a guy like this be the proctor?!

"Yes, Proctor Sir!"

Zhi Ge pulled back his fists, then lowered his head and answered mockingly.

"Alright! I am Ibiki Morino, the proctor for the first exam of the Chunin Exams! I've come to inform you that the first exam of the Chunin Exams is about to begin. This time it's a written test, and I hope you'll all perform well. Please follow me!"

With that, he turned and walked forward with an arrogant and haughty demeanor.

"What?! There's even a written test for the Chunin Exams?! God! Tell me this isn't true!"

Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, I'm saying, Naruto, this is the Chunin Exams after all. You wouldn't want to lose, would you?"

Seeing Naruto look like this, Zhi Ge couldn't help but banter.

"I... I'll definitely win!"

Naruto parted his lips, then flashed a signature, hearty laugh.

Just like that, the numerous examinees led by proctor Ibiki Morino entered the examinee classroom.

Along the way, many people were discussing Zhi Ge's performance just then.

This nobody that nobody knew had truly made quite an impression in front of everyone.

Although his combat techniques weren't much to speak of, the combat awareness and strength he had just unleashed made the hearts of many examinees feel a profound sense of shock.

As expected of a descendant of the Uchiha Clan, he truly wasn't to be underestimated!

This fellow was probably a hidden talent with great potential.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the battle from moments before, proctor Ibiki Morino had already led them to sit down at the very back spots.
