Hashirama looked aggrieved.
"I thought your thoughts had changed after you were resurrected."
Ban clenched his fist.
"Shut up."
You must apologize to me.
You're the one who should apologize.
I was terrified!
The two glared at each other across the tree branches.
Hashirama raised his hand to push Madara.
Ban grabbed his wrist.
Just as the two were about to continue their antics, a strange Chakra suddenly swept past from below.
The aggrieved look on Hashirama's face vanished instantly.
Ban also released his wrist.
They both turned their heads at the same time.
That Chakra appeared for only a moment.
Its intensity far exceeds that of ordinary test takers.
The other party seemed to be testing their surroundings, and quickly withdrew their Chakra.
Hashirama closed his eyes to perceive.
Ban's gaze also swept over the crowd below.
A few seconds later, the two simultaneously locked onto a Kusagakure.
The other person was standing at the edge of the crowd.
He was wearing a ninja outfit from the Land of Grass, with a large purple bow tied around his waist.
There was no apparent abnormality in the skin on his face.
However, in Hashirama and Madara's perception, that face did not belong to them at all.
They lowered their voices Hashirama.
"Human skin mask."
Spotted head.
"There's another face hidden underneath."
" His Chakra is also considerable."
Hashirama stared at the Kusagakure.
"With that kind of strength, why would you pretend to Genin?"
"He even wore a human skin mask."
Ban did not answer.
Hashirama continued to sense his surroundings and soon looked towards Gaara's location.
" The One-Tail Jinchuriki."
"And this top-tier ninja wearing a human skin mask."
"Why are so many people here for the Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha?"
He stopped abruptly as he spoke.
An idea suddenly popped into my head.
Hashirama turned to look at Madara.
"Are they planning to attack Konoha?"
Ban's tone was calm.
"Possibly."
Hashirama was startled by his own guess.
" Sunagakure sent in the One-Tail Jinchuriki."
"Another powerful individual disguised himself as a candidate from Kusagakure."
"Now, ninjas from all the villages have gathered in Konoha."
"If someone were to coordinate an attack from within, Konoha would be caught completely off guard."
The spots are close to the tree trunk.
So what?
Hashirama glared at him.
" Konoha might be attacked!"
"It has nothing to do with me."
"Spot!"
"The boss didn't give the order."
Madara looked at Hashirama.
"You can't just take action without permission."
"If you disobey orders, I will stop you."
Hashirama opened his mouth, then immediately deflated.
He crouched back down on the branch, looking down at the Hokage Rock in the distance.
" Konoha was founded by us together."
"Someone really attacked the village, but I could only watch."
"What's this?"
Ban ignored him.
Hashirama hugged his knees and buried his face in his arms.
"Never mind."
"Anyway, you don't care about Konoha at all."
What happens to the village is none of your business.
"I'm not doing anything."
Ban stared at him for a while.
Hashirama is usually very noisy.
It's strange that he's suddenly stopped talking.
"Alright."
The Hashirama did not raise their heads.
You don't need to worry about me.
Ban remained silent for a few seconds.
"If that person really attacks Konoha, I won't stop you."
Hashirama suddenly raised his head.
"Real?"
"Only if someone initiates an attack on Konoha."
"Good!"
Hashirama instantly regained his composure.
He stepped over the tree branch and hugged Ban tightly.
"Ban, I knew you were the best!"
Ban's body stiffened.
"Release!"
"Don't loosen it!"
" Hashirama!"
"Who just said they were going to stop me?"
"I've changed my tune!"
"I won't loosen it!"
Madara raised his hand to push Hashirama's face.
Hashirama, however, held on even tighter.
The two started fooling around in the tree canopy again.
As for the mysterious powerful figure below, they didn't take him seriously at all.
Don't say there's only one.
Even if all the strongest ninjas in the entire Shinobi World came to the Forest of Death, they would not be able to threaten them.
At the edge of the crowd, Orochimaru stood in the Kusagakure group, his back already covered in a layer of cold sweat.
He only released a small amount of Chakra just now.
He intended to investigate whether there were any powerful Konoha members around the examination hall.
As soon as his Chakra swept across the treetops, two unfathomable auras locked onto him simultaneously.
In that instant, Orochimaru almost wanted to flee.
powerful.
It's so strong you can't see the bottom.
He wasn't even sure he could leave alive, provided the other party was willing.
Orochimaru forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around.
Don't panic.
This is Konoha.
The Chunin Ninja Exams are also related to the various villages.
It's quite normal for Konoha to assign several elite ninjas to protect them secretly.
The fact that those two auras didn't make a move suggests they were merely monitoring the situation.
As long as I continue to conceal my identity, they may not interfere.
The Konoha Crush Plan has been in preparation for so long.
Sunagakure had also made arrangements for their operation.
We cannot give up immediately just because of two unknown ninjas.
Orochimaru stopped releasing Chakra.
He kept his head down, continuing to disguise himself as an ordinary Kusagakure examinee.
Just then, a cold bottle was handed to him.
"Want some?"
Orochimaru raised his head.
Zhang Yu had appeared beside them without them noticing.
He was holding a bottle of iced cola.
Almost every other test-taker around me had a bottle.
Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata were standing not far away, drinking.
Orochimaru looked around and lowered his guard slightly.
"For me?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu handed the Coke forward a little.
Orochimaru reached out and took it.
The bottle is cool to the touch.
The tension I felt earlier lessened considerably.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and took a sip.
Bubbles welled up in my mouth.
The refreshing taste relaxed his tense body.
"It tastes good."
A woman's voice came from his mouth.
Ino stopped drinking her cola.
Sakura suddenly turned her head.
He scrutinized Orochimaru Tenten.
Hinata stared at him blankly.
Everyone heard it clearly.
The Kusagakure in front of me clearly has a man's face.
But it came out in a woman's voice.
Ino spoke first.
"Are you a woman?"
Sakura stared at Orochimaru's face.
"But he clearly looks like a man."
Tenten touched his chin every day.
"Could he be a cross-dresser?"
Ino shook her head.
He wasn't wearing women's clothing either.
"That's the cross-dressing master?"
Sakura said, "The point isn't the clothes."
Hinata whispered a reminder.
"That was definitely a female voice."
Orochimaru, holding the can of cola, froze.
He relaxed so quickly that he forgot to adjust his voice.
You misheard.
He immediately switched to a hoarse male voice.
"My voice has always been like this."
Ino looked doubtful.
"But what you just did..."
"Cough."
Zhang Yu interrupted her directly.
"He drank too fast and choked on the bubbles."
"A slight change in voice is normal."
Orochimaru turned to look at Zhang Yu.
Although this explanation is far-fetched, it at least gave him a chance to cover it up.
"That's right."
He maintained a hoarse male voice.
"I just choked a little."
Tenten, she still felt something was wrong.
However, the Forest of Death assessment was about to begin, so she didn't press the matter further.
Orochimaru looked back at the cola in his hand.
Zhang Yu took the initiative to help him out of the predicament, so he probably didn't notice the disguise.
It seems to be just an ordinary businessman giving drinks to the test takers.
