To hand it over? Or not to hand it over?
This was not even a question.
Uchiha Un-chidori felt that his main body was still alive, and what was the difference between that and being dead? Now, only he, this sole sapling, remained.
Aside from agreeing to Yuuki's small request, Uchiha Un-chidori had no other choice.
During the teaching process,
Orochimaru (Uchiha Un-chidori) felt like a scapegoat. After all his troubles,
He had split off two bodies and picked up a great treasure, but in the end,
The treasure he picked up was handed over, the bodies he split off were handed over. Everything returned to how it was before, and he got nothing.
After the handover was completed,
The sealing runes that lit up the office gradually dimmed, eventually disappearing.
Yuuki walked up to Uchiha Un-chidori with a smile, extended his right hand, and said,
"Orochimaru-senpai, it was a pleasure working with you!"
Uchiha Un-chidori, with a forced smile, shook Yuuki's hand.
"Yuuki-kun, it was a pleasure working with you!"
In the middle of the night, Uchiha Un-chidori left Konoha that very night, taking Haku and Karin, who had only arrived in Konoha a few days prior, and others with him.
Orochimaru, who had originally planned to pretend to be young to participate in the Chunin Exams and coincidentally trick some backup bodies, now had no such thoughts.
Konoha? Not even a dog would stay there!
Holding the proof issued by Yuuki, Orochimaru took his subordinates and, after leaving Konoha, swiftly moved through the forest.
Konoha was located in a vast forest, surrounded by an endless expanse of trees on all sides.
Only at the main gate was there a road directly leading to the outside world, specifically prepared for ordinary people.
Ninja, as always, did not take the usual path.
In the opposite direction from Orochimaru, four figures stood on the treetops, looking at the brightly lit Konoha from afar.
The four giant Hokage Rock carvings were clearly visible, especially Yuuki's carving.
On one hand, Kazuma and the others, as top Jonin, had excellent eyesight.
More importantly, there were lights illuminating them. The carvings of the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage were illuminated by several large but low-power spotlights.
Yuuki's carving, however, was illuminated by bright white, high-power spotlights, even benefiting Minato Namikaze's carving slightly.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, not only was there no light, but he was also covered by a large camouflage cloth of the same color as the rock face.
This camouflage cloth was an excellent piece of equipment essential for Ninja travel. Even in broad daylight, ordinary Ninja would find it difficult to detect any abnormality without specifically looking.
The Hokage Rock of Konoha, now, looked like four carvings, two on each side, with the center position vacant.
"What a beautiful Village, much stronger than the Hidden Sand Village, but what a pity."
Hearing his subordinate's praise, Kazuma felt a surge of displeasure. The more prosperous Konoha was, the more Kazuma disliked it.
All of this should have belonged to the Daimyo-sama.
Especially Konoha, using the funds provided by the Daimyo, was wasting it on such meaningless things.
"Alright, no more sentimentality. Let's move quickly and be careful to remain hidden!"
The next day, 8:00 AM.
The first stage of the Joint Chunin Exams was held as scheduled.
The examination venue was the Konoha Ninja Academy, and as for the students, they were all on holiday, of course.
The Ninja Academy naturally had more than enough space to accommodate a written exam for over seven hundred people.
The Genin, of course, did not know that everything had already been decided internally and were still diligently working on their test papers.
The written exam lasted a total of six hours, with over a thousand questions, continuing until 2:00 PM.
The candidates inside the examination hall groaned inwardly.
This included some contestants who were highly anticipated to win, such as Kabuto.
Out of over a thousand questions, only a mere hundred or so truly tested Ninja knowledge.
As for the rest, it wasn't entirely unrelated to Ninja, but it was a bit far-fetched.
For example:
[The strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World today, the sacred land in the hearts of Ninja, Konoha Village, was founded in which year?]
[A. 59 years ago B. 60 years ago C. 61 years ago D. 62 years ago]
How to put it, most Genin, aside from a slight complaint about the question stem, could still answer this question.
The absurd ones were similar to the following questions:
[During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha Village, which fought to maintain peace in the Ninja World, dispatched ( ) Ninja to the Eastern Battlefield, successfully ending the war and saving ( ) civilians in the Land of Waves.]
.....
Over nine hundred questions carried a strong political color and brainwashing effect.
Even if they couldn't answer them, just by reading them, these Genin would have some persistent ideas implanted in their minds.
After such a long time, it was still far from the time to release the answers. At this time, proctoring was extremely strict. Making noise, looking around, or even sleeping would result in a warning.
Repeat offenders would be kicked out of the examination hall. After several unruly individuals in each hall were thrown out like chickens,
The order in the examination hall became quite good. What to do when you couldn't sleep for so long and were bored?
They could only look at those questions that polluted their eyes and minds.
While the Genin were happily taking their exams in the Ninja Academy,
Four streaks of lightning rapidly extended from several kilometers around Konoha, eventually converging in the center of Konoha.
When the lightning flashed, the Sensory Division immediately detected the anomaly.
A piece of intelligence was swiftly delivered to Yuuki's desk. Looking at the intelligence that seemed familiar to him,
Yuuki took over ten seconds to recall the plot from the original work. To be honest, Yuuki had never taken the Daimyo seriously.
As for the Twelve Guardian Ninja, they were even more of a joke.
It took him a long time to remember the minor villain from the original work who was killed by Asuma.
