The bandaged Genin's exam journey

Konoha, the former home of the Uchiha Clan.

Danzo stared grimly at the crackling fire burning before him.

This fire ruined everything he had planned.

The corpses of the Uchiha members were all buried in this sea of fire.

He lowered his head, his fingers tracing the bandage wrapped around his head, his expression so sinister it could drip water.

The main reason for the rush to eliminate the Uchiha was for those Sharingan.

His own Sharingan was forcibly taken away by the Masked Person who suddenly appeared.

They had originally planned to recycle and reuse the eyes of these missing-nin.

Let them contribute their remaining energy to the village one last time.

Little did they know that this fire would spread, and all their plans would fall through.

Who set the fire?

Did Uchiha Itachi do it?

Is it still that Masked Man's completely covered up?

He got involved in this too?

Could it be that his goal is also the Sharingan?

Fine, he won't let either of them get away with it.

Danzo cut off the thought that was running through his mind and led the Root members to retreat.

Since the Uchiha Sharingan has been burned away, there is no value in leaving this place behind.

Completely eradicating the Uchiha Clan could be considered a gain, at least in a way.

A member of the Root organization standing behind him suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"I saw it all."

Danzo froze in place, his expression changing.

Which one?!

He turned around abruptly.

What met my eyes was a pair of blood-red pupils.

Mangekyō Sharingan?

He is Uchiha Itachi!

Danzo's pupils shrank to pinpoints as he stared at the other man in disbelief.

How did he end up here?

Beneath the mask, Uchiha Itachi's face revealed no emotion whatsoever.

His eyes were frighteningly deep.

"I saw it all."

"And I will continue to keep an eye on it from now on."

"If you dare to lay a hand on Sasuke, I'll expose all the village's secrets to the enemy nation."

He finished speaking.

Before Danzo could react, Itachi was reduced to a flock of Crow, scattering right under Danzo's nose.

On the other end.

With the help of Uchiha Fugaku and a few others, Shisui quickly disguised the scene.

Using Genjutsu and scrolls, they told a colossal lie, creating the illusion that everyone was dead.

Then a huge fire broke out, burning everything that could expose their secret to the ground.

After finishing, I used a teleportation scroll to travel to the distant Land of Beautiful Eyes.

Just then, Wu Chiwu finished delaying Obito Uchiha and returned to the Land of Beautiful Eyes to meet up with everyone.

"Seriously, is it really okay for us to just Sasuke of the party?" Wu Chiwu asked, mumbling as he ate a skewer of Three-Color Dango.

"To prevent the plan from leaking out, this is the only way we can do it for now," Shisui Uchiha explained patiently.

"It's alright, kids need to get used to things to grow up," Uchiha Fugaku with a smile, holding his teacup.

"Doing this is a precaution; Itachi is too perceptive."

"Right now, everyone's eyes are on Sasuke, so it's not convenient to approach him. We can only observe and wait before making a decision."

The group of people took turns drafting the policy, seemingly not taking it to heart.

Wu Chiwu picked up another string of Three-Color Dango, pondering with an innocent expression.

This time, you really can't blame me!

They were the ones who acted inhumanely first!

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, in the territory of the Land of Beautiful Eyes.

Wu Chiwu, dressed in a black robe, was vigorously wrapping bandages around his arm.

"Wu Chiwu, what are you doing?" Bai Zhan asked, looking puzzled.

What is Lord Wu planning to do today?

Although we've spent quite a bit of time together, there are still times when I can't figure out his ways.

Shisui, standing nearby, also frowned and looked over with a strange expression.

"You?"

"What kind of trick are they up to now?"

Are they planning to cause trouble in other countries again?

His reputation as the "Bandage Maniac" in the black market carries considerable weight.

The bounty amount far surpasses that of ordinary S-rank missing-nin.

I have no idea how he ended up like this.

This made Shisui hesitant to let the man out easily, fearing he might cause some trouble again.

Even if it's just a simple outing for a meal or to a temple fair, this person can still get into a lot of trouble.

Destroying a few ninja black market outposts is just the most ordinary thing in that pile of trivial matters.

Shisui Uchiha shook his head and sighed sullenly.

Someone who almost abducted a foreign princess while just strolling through a temple fair is definitely not to be underestimated.

I really don't understand how such a strange appearance, completely wrapped in bandages, could attract people.

"Of course I'm going to take the Chunin!" Wu Chiwu with a bright smile.

"Isn't the Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha in a few days?"

Chunin Ninja Exams?

Shisui Uchiha's lips twitched, and he stared at him with wide eyes.

"Why would a Jonin you go and take the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

He was once Jonin of Konoha, and now he has to compete with a bunch of kids. Doesn't he have any shame?

His gaze toward them grew increasingly disdainful.

Wu Chiwu wasn't bothered by that expression at all, and remained completely calm and composed.

He looked at Shisui Uchiha with a righteous expression.

"I don't understand what you're babbling about. I'm just an ordinary Genin."

"Right, Bai?"

Upon hearing Wu Chiwu's words, Bai nodded in perfect unison, "Yes."

You two are really in sync!

Seeing this, Shisui Uchiha gave a weak, indifferent smirk.

Alright!

Do whatever makes you happy.

After quickly packing his things, Wu Chiwu, along with Bai and Hozuki Kagetsu, set off for Konoha.

Hozuki Kagetsu is a girl he happened to save in the Land of Water a few years ago.

Because of his Kekkei Genkai, he was feared and shunned, leaving him nowhere to go.

Wu Chiwu then sent the person to the Land of Beautiful Eyes.

Coincidentally, the Land of Beautiful Eyes is also in need of a ninja village that can be nominally named after it.

He casually set up a ninja village entirely composed of children.

But this ninja village...

While traveling.

"By the way, what excuse should we use to take the Chunin Ninja Exams?" Hozuki Kagetsu suddenly asked.

"Of course, we'll use our village's name," Wu Chiwu replied casually.

"Our village?" Hozuki Kagetsu's expression suddenly turned strange.

To put it bluntly, their village's reputation outside the village might not be very good to the general public.

If I just walk straight past like that, won't I get a beating up with a sack over my head?

Wu Chiwu touched the bandage covering his eyes, his expression serious and solemn.

He was currently wrapped in a long, black robe, with white bandages peeking out from his collar as he moved.

The eye on his face was completely covered by white bandages and stray hairs.

That's right, it's time to make our village famous and revitalize our home!

Perhaps the moment they stepped out the door was the moment they were surrounded and beaten to death.

Haku and Hozuki Kagetsu, standing nearby, silently added a comment in their minds.
