After handing the wax-sealed Kiviak to Gekko Hayate, Naruto left a Shadow Clone behind and rushed straight out of the competition grounds.
Of course, whatever biological weapon leak happened there afterward had nothing to do with him.
He had warned everyone more than once.
But before he could leave the Forest of Death, a series of system notifications rang in his ears.
[Ding! Received 5 million shock points and 10 million negative emotion points from the Jonin leading the teams from various nations!] [Ding! Received 200 negative emotion points from the participating Genin of various nations!]
"Holy crap."
Naruto had known this stunt would earn him plenty of points, but he had never expected this many.
"Tsk, just a few foreign Jonin, the Third, and the contestants from each nation gave me this many points all at once. What about when the finals start a month from now?"
Indeed, having watched Naruto twice, he knew the Chunin Ninja Exams were one of the biggest climaxes of the early story.
Not only would the Fourth Kazekage of the Land of Wind be invited to watch, but plenty of people from the Land of Fire would come as spectators too. In this era when messages traveled by ox, a round trip for a national leader took half a month.
"Heh, the Dead Last facing off against an acknowledged genius. How many points will I rake in then?"
Naruto darted past one towering tree after another before landing steadily in front of a puddle.
"The Third and the others all know Snake Aunt came back to Konoha for Sasuke. They must have hidden him somewhere very secret."
As he spoke, Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, formed hand seals, and murmured, "Ninja Art: Telescope Technique."
Whoosh.
A surge of mental energy
