Wu Di was speechless.

How could he encounter such a bizarre thing even after transmigrating to this world!

"Boss, what is this?" Sasuke asked softly.

Wu Di's face darkened, and he said with great embarrassment.

"This contains a set of extremely lethal dance-style Ninjutsu."

"Dance-style Ninjutsu?" Everyone was shocked.

This was the first time they had ever heard of dance-style Ninjutsu.

So, they quickly perked up their ears and listened carefully.

"This dance-style Ninjutsu is called 'Ji Ni Tai Mei,' and it needs to be used in conjunction with the squeaky chicken in your hand."

"Before releasing the dance-style Ninjutsu, squeeze the squeaky chicken three times, and the dance-style Ninjutsu will be released naturally!"

Sasuke was extremely excited upon hearing this.

Naruto had previously scratched off a combined Ninjutsu here.

Now he had also scratched off Ninjutsu, and it was a dance-style Ninjutsu he had never heard of before.

He couldn't control his excitement.

He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the squeaky chicken.

Seeing this, Wu Di slapped the squeaky chicken out of his hand and said with a sweat-covered face.

"This Ninjutsu is an area-of-effect Ninjutsu. If you release it here, you'll harm innocent people!"

"Thank you for the reminder!" Sasuke said gratefully and seriously.

Then he turned to pick up the squeaky chicken.

This trip to the scratch-off ticket store had yielded something for each of the Twelve Rookie Ninjas.

They walked out together, laughing and chatting.

Not long after they left, suddenly, at a street corner, two figures, one yellow and one black, flashed by in succession.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he shouted.

"Ebisu-sensei, wait!"

Upon hearing the devil-like voice, Ebisu shivered and instinctively took out his wallet.

Turning around, he said tearfully, "I beg you, pick someone else to rob, even Iruka would do!"

Seeing his appearance, Naruto burst out laughing and casually took his wallet.

"Iruka is my teacher, how could I bear to rob him!"

"Besides, I really didn't intend to rob you this time, but since you took it out so readily, I'll accept it."

Ebisu's face instantly turned ugly.

"If you didn't want to rob me, why did you call out to me!"

Naruto's lips curled.

"I just wanted to find Konohamaru. He promised me before that he would take me to pull off a big heist."

Ebisu let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands.

"In that case, can you return my wallet to me?"

Naruto glanced at him and raised two fingers.

He immediately trembled. "Never mind, I'll give you the wallet. There isn't much money in it anyway!"

Naruto smiled without speaking and sped off.

"Konohamaru, wait for me!"

Konohamaru's ears twitched. Hearing that it wasn't Ebisu calling, he slowly stopped.

Turning around, he saw Naruto chasing after him and was overjoyed.

"Master, you've finally come to find me!"

Naruto landed in front of him, a mischievous grin on his face. "You said last time that you wanted to pull off a big heist with me, when are we going?"

Konohamaru chuckled and leaned in.

"Let me tell you, I saw Grandpa put a thick stack of silver notes in his pocket that day!"

"If you let me be your disciple, I'll find a way to lure him out. You take him down, and the silver notes will be ours."

Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief. "You want to rob the Third Hokage! Are you crazy!"

He snorted, "Who told him to force me to learn Ninjutsu all the time."

"So, are you in or out? If you're in, we'll act now. The earnings will be split three and seven, you get seven, I get three."

"But there's one condition, and that's for you to take me as your disciple."

Seeing Konohamaru's very serious expression.

Naruto rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

He had just heard that the Third Hokage's wallet was stuffed with a thick wad of silver notes.

If he exchanged those silver notes for scratch-off tickets, how many good things could he win?

At this thought, his greed began to burn uncontrollably.

He looked down at Konohamaru, "Okay, let's do this together!"

With that, the two bumped fists and ran towards the Hokage Building together.

"Master, you hide on the roof later, and I'll go call the old man out."

"After he comes out, you'll grab him from behind and use the technique on him!"

"Once he's frozen, the silver notes will be ours!"

Naruto swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitating slightly.

However, thinking of the silver notes he was about to get, he decided to take the risk.

He crept alone to the roof of the Hokage Building and hid by the stairwell.

Not long after, Konohamaru indeed led the Third Hokage up.

"Konohamaru, if you want to learn Ninjutsu, you can just find Ebisu to teach you!"

The Third Hokage's voice grew closer, and Naruto's heart pounded wildly.

"I just want you to teach me, will you teach me?" Konohamaru said stubbornly.

At this moment, he had already come up from the stairwell ahead of them.

The Third Hokage followed closely, laughing, "Teach, of course..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto rushed over and shouted, "Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique!"

The Third Hokage calmly raised his hand and placed it on Konohamaru: "Heaven and Earth Great Shift First Style: Transfer!"

Instantly, the effect of the Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique was transferred to Konohamaru.

Konohamaru froze completely.

The Third Hokage chuckled.

"I saw you two sneaking in from the beginning! Speak, what do you want to do?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head and said awkwardly.

"Grandpa Third, we didn't want to do anything."

The Third Hokage snorted, "Do you think I believe you?"

"I don't believe you..." Naruto's eyes changed, and he quickly formed hand seals, "Wood Release: Thousand Year Impale Technique!"

The Third Hokage took a deep breath, "Heaven and Earth Great Shift Second Style: Rebound!"

Instantly, the wooden stake that should have appeared beside the Third Hokage disappeared and instead struck Naruto.

The wooden hand that should have appeared behind the Third Hokage also appeared at Naruto's feet.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Naruto finally understood how Sasuke must have felt!

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

He cried out miserably.

The Third Hokage, with his hands behind his back, appeared unruffled as he pulled two ropes from his sleeve.

Humming a tune, he tied up Naruto and Konohamaru.

Then he dragged them to the edge of the Hokage Building, tied one end of the rope to the railing, and threw them out, suspending them in mid-air!

"Konohamaru, I'm going to kill you!"

Naruto cried, swaying back and forth.

But Konohamaru was still frozen and stared ahead in shock.

The third round of the Chunin Exam arrived as scheduled.

Naruto entered the exam venue, clutching his backside, walking gingerly.

"The third exam is a one-on-one elimination round. We will now begin the drawing of lots for the rankings!"

Gekko Hayate coughed lightly, looking sickly as he spoke.

All the Genin who passed the exam gathered around and drew their lot numbers from the draw bucket.

Soon, the match list was posted.

Everyone looked at the match list, each with their own thoughts.

"The first match will now begin. Sasuke of Konohagakure versus Dosu of Otogakure. The match begins!"
