Even the two examiners were caught off guard, so the genin Genin were naturally even more stunned. Everyone wore a look of shock, including Rock Lee and Neji.
Sasuke, who was walking forward in the crowd, was also somewhat shocked.
He didn't recognize the person who suddenly appeared, but Naruto and Sakura did, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the same time.
It's him!
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Kimimaro's three.
Sasuke had already fainted when Haku appeared, so Sasuke didn't recognize him. However, when he saw Kimimaro and Karin walk out of the crowd and come to Haku's side, Sasuke instantly understood.
The only people who could possess such speed are probably those three powerful Amegakure ninja.
"Sorry, if we're going to fight, please dispel that Genjutsu first, then let us pass."
Bai blocked the examiner's hand from reaching for Tenten, but his tone was not cold at all; instead, it was gentle.
The two examiners exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes. At that moment, they also noticed the Forehead Protector of Amegakure worn by Kimimaro, and the other two.
"As expected, the examiners specifically instructed us to do this..."
The two made way for each other and simultaneously dispelled the Genjutsu, no longer obstructing the way.
Both of them were aware of the special circumstances of Amegakure, and they knew that Kimimaro and the other two could not be regarded Genin. However, when they thought about Haku's speed just now, they still found it difficult to calm down.
"Those three people... are all very strong."
Neji, Rock Lee, and the others looked at Kimimaro and the other two with great seriousness. They knew from Might Guy how terrifying these three Amegakure were. Today, although they only caught a glimpse of them, their speed in just an instant was enough to tell them a lot.
Tenten stood there in astonishment, but quickly realized that Bai had blocked an attack for her. While amazed by Bai's speed, she thanked him.
Bai smiled nonchalantly, then walked over with Kimimaro and the others.
The first test set by the two examiners had been solved, so the two naturally didn't stay and left directly. As for the ninjas, they suppressed their shock and filed in one after another into the examination room.
The examination room was almost full of students.
Kimimaro and the others, who had entered earlier, were casually sitting in a corner, completely ignoring the noise in the room, as if the three of them and everyone else were not in the same space.
Naruto, Sasuke, and the others who entered were shocked to see the examination hall almost full, as it was their first time participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams.
Ino didn't pounce on him like in the original story. Instead, she stared at Kimimaro, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.
Almost all the ninjas present looked fierce and menacing, but Kimimaro looked like a handsome young man with delicate features, while Haku, although not wearing any women's clothing, also looked more like a beautiful man than a handsome one.
Soon, apart from Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Tenten, all nine other Konoha who graduated in the same year were gathered together.
However, most people's attention was focused on Kimimaro and his two companions in the corner.
Because almost all nine of them had received warnings from their respective Jonin instructors not to provoke the three ninjas from Amegakure, and to surrender immediately if they encountered them as enemies.
"It seems you've all been warned as well." Shikamaru Nara's eyes flickered with a strange look as Kimimaro and the other two.
Even they had received warnings from Asuma Sarutobi. Noticing that Naruto Sasuke seemed to have all been warned as well, Nara Shikamaru Nara had elevated the threat posed by Kimimaro and the other two to an extremely high level.
"They seem to be Uya- sensei's subordinates."
Without a doubt, Hinata was the only one who addressed Uya as "teacher." She looked at Kimimaro, and the others in the distance, a curious expression on her small face.
At that moment, Kimimaro and the others also looked at Hinata, because they all had the Second Stage of Sage Body and could sense the special nature of the Natural Energy.
In this place, there are Genin who can utilize Natural Energy, so their identities are naturally beyond guessing.
"That is Lord Uya's disciple."
"There shouldn't be any mistake."
" Hinata Hyuga, that's her."
Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin each chimed in with a comment, all three expressing some envy. To become Uya's disciple was equivalent to gaining Uya's approval, and so far, none of the three had been truly recognized as Uya's disciples.
Karin and Kushina may have had a very close and somewhat special relationship, but Karin was never recognized as a disciple by Uya.
Moreover, Kimimaro, and Karin, who were recognized as disciples by Uya, were mostly envious, without any jealousy or resentment, because it was Uya's will.
They would absolutely obey Uya's will without the slightest doubt.
"Teacher Uya?!"
Sakura looked at Hinata in surprise and said, "You call that Lord Uya' teacher'?!"
Sakura's exclamation drew everyone's attention to Hinata, making Hinata hesitant to look up. She could only weakly reply, "Yes."
Naruto and Sasuke were also somewhat incredulous. They both knew from Kakashi that even Kakashi had only been instructed by Uya and called Uya" Uya," not "teacher."
But among these nine graduates, one of them was actually Uya's disciple?!
However, Hinata doesn't seem to be very strong at all.
"Tell me, just who exactly is this Uya?"
Somewhat confused, Ino looked at the people in the room and asked with a strange expression.
Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and the others all looked at Hinata with curiosity, but Hinata only lowered her head shyly and remained silent.
Shikamaru Nara's expression became extremely solemn from the moment he heard the name Uya. Despite his abnormally high IQ, he had heard of Uya, even though he had never met Uya.
He could never forget something he had heard of, but he didn't intend to speak up because he felt that casually discussing Uya might cause him trouble.
At that very moment, Kabuto Yakushi, who had infiltrated Konoha as Genin with a special identity, stood among the crowd. He first scrutinized Kimimaro and the others, revealing a hint of apprehension, before turning to look at the nine Konoha members, including Naruto Sasuke.
Looking at Naruto, Sasuke, and the others, a glint flashed in his eyes behind his round-framed glasses.
Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha... and Naruto Uzumaki Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki... That's interesting.
"I said, you guys would better keep quiet." (To be continued.)
