Heh, They're All Liars

Aside from Kengo, many other ninjas from other hidden villages also had their eyes on Miya.

Miya, being alone, was their best target.

"Even though I'm handsome, you don't need to look at me like that!"

Ignoring the unfriendly stares around him, Miya flicked his bangs with his fingertips and said in a very narcissistic manner.

"A bunch of ugly bastards, not beauties!"

After saying that, Miya muttered something under his breath.

However, the ninja present, who wasn't particularly good-hearing, and the others with unfriendly expressions, almost couldn't resist making a move.

"Damn it! Who are you calling ugly?"

"I'll admit defeat if I let you leave this forest."

"All you have left to do is use your words."

The intense reaction from those around him pleased Miya, and he ran his fingertips across his bangs once more.

Yes! He really is handsome!

"Oh! So you can hear me?"

"Whoever responds, that's who we'll talk about!"

Miya, feigning surprise, said something that was infuriating.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you."

The Amegakure had just responded couldn't stand being called ugly by Miya, and Genin jumped up, ready to have a full-blown fight with Miya right there.

"Imai, let him be arrogant for a while, the exam is the important thing."

However, before Imai could make a move, his teammate grabbed him.

"Hmph. You're dead in a minute."

After being persuaded by his teammates, Imai calmed down, then left angrily with a remark before turning away.

He was afraid that if he saw Miya's arrogant face again, he wouldn't be able to resist taking action.

One by one, names were signed on the life-or-death waiver. After receiving the Heaven Scroll or the Earth Scroll, they quickly entered the Forest of Death.

Miya, who was at the very back, signed the death warrant and smiled at Orochimaru, saying:

"Orochimaru- sensei, please go back and tell the Third Hokage that the Chunin Ninja Exams the remainder of this year will not be held."

"I hope that considering how hard I've worked and how much I've contributed to Konoha, he can add some extra reward, maybe three or five million would be fine."

After saying that, Miya walked past Orochimaru, who was slightly taken aback, picked up the last Heaven Scroll, and stepped into the Forest of Death.

Watching Miya's figure disappear into the forest, Orochimaru smiled wickedly and said to one of the proctors beside him:

"Jonin Hirotomo, could you please make a trip there? Just relay everything Miya just said to the old man."

Hirotomo was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Ignoring Hirotomo's departure, Orochimaru gazed at the silent Forest of Death, eagerly anticipating what Miya would do next!

In the Forest of Death, Sato said with a somewhat solemn expression:

"Pakura, you felt it, didn't you? That brat just now."

"What? Sato, are you scared? That brat was so arrogant, it's questionable whether he'll even survive today. If he runs into me, I'll definitely kill him here."

Sato's other teammate, Gansanji, clenched his fists and said in a fierce, deep voice.

"That guy gives me a dangerous feeling, and besides, he deliberately provoked the people around him, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve. If we really run into him, we need to be careful."

Unlike Gansanji, Pakura was not optimistic. Instead, she gave her two teammates a serious reminder.

"Knew!"

Gansanji disagreed, believing that the three of them working together could easily defeat Miya.

However, Sato completely agreed with Pakura's statement.

After entering the Forest of Death, Miya strolled along the forest paths, searching for any trace of the enemy.

That unhurried manner was just like...

I'm strolling in the park—no, I mean, the back garden.

Miya, who had been hunting in the Forest of Death for several years, felt a bit nostalgic returning to the place.

"Was my taunt not strong enough? How come I didn't encounter an ambush? This doesn't make sense!"

Miya was in a bad mood because he hadn't encountered any attacks and hadn't seen any good prey.

I really want to kill someone.

Killing someone just because you're unhappy—that's a terrifying idea...

In Miya's mind, he had done the math: if he could defeat his opponent in two exams, that would be 5 million per exam, and 3.35 million in three. No matter how you looked at it, two exams would be more profitable.

Therefore, he planned to deal with everyone in his own "backyard".

He had just launched a scathing attack on it.

And then, what was the result?

Upon entering, there wasn't a single ambush attacker in sight, not even a shadow of a person. The Rain Ninja who had just threatened to kill him was nowhere to be seen.

Ha~ Liar!

However, Miya was unaware of this.

He is now Genin the surveillance of the same group of Amegakure were there before, and they have set up an ambush three hundred meters directly in front of Miya.

"Hayato, Imai, that brat just appeared, about 300 meters ahead."

Genin Hayato, who had just stopped Imai's rampage, Shinji, a genin from Amegakure, stood with his eyes closed, his hands forming a mudra, and spoke calmly.

Ninja Art: Water Reflection Technique.

"Hayato, you won't stop me this time, will you?"

Hidden behind the treetops, Imai heard Shinji's words and spoke with a grim expression, his murderous intent palpable.

"No, I'll join you."

At this moment, Hayato's eyes also flashed with a fierce light. Miya's words just now had also included him in the insults.

Appearance is a factor.

He has always been Hayato with three scars on his face, a slightly crooked mouth, and a face that looks like a big monkey—a pain that will never fade in his heart.

He didn't get angry like Imai just now, simply because his composure and cunning were superior to Imai's.

Besides, it was Imai who responded to Miya at the time, not him.

"That brat was so arrogant just now. Once he falls into our hands, I'm going to torture him to death."

Imai drew his Kunai, ready to fight at any moment. The thought of how he was about to torture Miya made him smirk slightly.

"I have a feeling something's not right. That guy has his own team; Konoha wouldn't let him participate in this exam unless he's incredibly strong."

You need to be careful.

Shinji, who was monitoring Miya, looked somewhat serious and said with a hint of worry in his heart.

"Don't worry! He's just a foul-mouthed brat. With the three of us working together, he's definitely doomed. Once we've dealt with him, we might even be able to collect all the Earth Scroll! Then we'll find a place to hide, and we'll be the first to pass this exam."

Imai's murderous aura remained undiminished. He pursed his lips and said excitedly.

"But I still think it's too small..."

"Alright, get ready to do it!"

The leader of the three, Hayato, interrupted Shinji's warning to be careful with a low shout.

Directly in front of them, Miya was completely unaware that a transparent water bag was hanging from the treetop above their heads, and his reflection in it was being watched by Shinji.
