And it was a "great achievement", but Zhizhen knew that this time the battle with Orochimaru had little effect, and it did not meet Zhizhen's expectations at all.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhizhen was the hero who "forced back" Orochimaru, but in fact, he only forced Orochimaru back, and did not cause substantial damage to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is still alive, and his plan has not been hindered in any way.

Even, because of this battle, Orochimaru was able to formulate a more perfect plan to attack Konoha after understanding Konoha's strength.

Therefore, for Zhizhen, this battle appeared to be won on the surface, but in fact he "lost" completely.

Therefore, Zhizhen didn't dare to take the credit, he was not thick-skinned to the point where he had to take the credit when he obviously failed to do anything.

"Hokage-sama, don't make fun of me too much." Zhizhen said hastily, "It's all thanks to everyone that we were able to push back Orochimaru this time, and I dare not take credit for it."

"Really?" Faced with Zhizhen's humility, Sandai was very satisfied, but he said: "It's good that you have such an idea, but don't be too humble, Zhizhen."

Zhizhen knelt down on one knee when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "My lord, I am not being humble, but the truth. After this battle with Orochimaru, I deeply understand my own shortcomings, whether it is strength or wisdom, including mentality. , I still have many deficiencies in all aspects.”

After a pause, Zhizhen looked up at Sandai, and said truthfully, "Like this time, I could have done better. If I had been stronger, maybe Orochimaru wouldn't be able to escape."

"Really?" Listening to Zhizhen's words, Sandai looked at Zhizhen seriously, and seeing that Zhizhen's expression did not seem to be fake, he slowly suppressed his smile and asked, "Are you trying to kill Orochimaru?"

"I thought it would be okay." Zhizhen didn't lie, nor did Sandai like Orochimaru to hide his thoughts.

The third generation fell silent when they heard the words, and after a few seconds of silence, they smiled and said kindly: "You, I can't see that you are so arrogant."

"?" Zhizhen was taken aback when he heard the words, before he could speak, he heard Kakashi say: "Don't be too complacent, Zhizhen."

Zhizhen looked up and saw Kakashi raised his dead fish eyes and said, "Although you have great power now, don't think that you are invincible."

"Senior, how can I have it?" Zhizhen was a little confused, what is this, he was clearly admitting his mistakes, but was called arrogant and proud by Sandai and Kakashi.

"Zhizhen, where do you have the confidence to kill Orochimaru?" Kakashi said.

"Hmm..." Zhizhen lowered his head and said, "No, it's not me. Although I think I can't do it myself, I think I can do it with my senior and Hokage-sama." Zhizhen said truthfully: " However, I didn’t expect that this would allow him to escape.”

"That's why." Kakashi touched the back of his head and said, "Since Orochimaru escaped from all of us, why do you still blame yourself?"

"Uh..." Zhizhen looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi said again: "Zhizhen, no one asked you to kill Orochimaru right now, but it can be said that you have been able to persist with Orochimaru alone for so long It’s beyond everyone’s imagination, and it’s done well enough.”

"Senior." Zhizhen suddenly came to his senses, that's what Kakashi meant.

"Speaking of which, if you can solve Orochimaru by yourself, it would be too exciting." Kakashi said.

Zhizhen laughed when he heard the words, and Kakashi said again: "So, don't do this again in the future."

Hearing this, Zhizhen was taken aback for a moment, he understood what Kakashi meant, and then nodded: "I see, senior."

The third generation nodded, and said: "Zhizhen, you are only 17 years old now, it is normal to have shortcomings, as Kakashi said, you have done well enough, beyond my imagination. "

"It's not your responsibility that Orochimaru ran away this time. You don't need to put more pressure on yourself, understand?"

"Yes, my lord." Zhizhen glanced at Midai with emotion, indeed, judging from the situation, it is really not about Zhizhen's business that Orochimaru escaped, and as Midai said, Zhizhen has done well enough.

But Sandai didn't know that Zhizhen knew everything.

It is understandable for Zhizhen to blame himself for playing the cards like this when he knows everything.

The third generation said again: "Of course, since you feel that you have shortcomings, you have to work hard to make up for such shortcomings. Although there is no need to blame yourself, you still have to work hard where you should work hard. Zhizhen, understand?"

"Yes, my lord. I will learn the lessons from this time." Zhizhen said.

"You are a smart boy, I think you know what to do, get up." Sandai continued: "So Zhizhen, you have made great contributions to the village this time, as Hokage, I should reward you."

Zhizhen didn't refuse when he heard the words, and it seemed that he was hypocritical when he refused, but Zhizhen really felt that he would not be rewarded for no merit, so he said: "I would like to listen to the adults' arrangements."

"Well, I've already considered what kind of reward I'll give you. Come to me to pick it up after your rematch invigilation is over." Sandai said with a smile.

Zhizhen nodded when he heard the words, and didn't think much about what kind of reward the third generation would give him, until the moment he got the reward, Zhizhen was really frightened.

Of course, this is something.

When Kakashi heard about the rematch, he immediately said, "Speaking of which, Zhizhen, have you thought about how to take the rematch?"

Hearing this question, Zhizhen suddenly had a bitter face, he didn't have time to think about the exam, he said: "Not yet."

But Zhizhen is not to blame. It is difficult to play tricks in a competition of personal strength in the rematch.

It is an exam that determines the winner by strength, adding some miscellaneous rules is not very good.

Moreover, the point is this exam, what should be done to benefit Naruto and the others?

Otherwise, let's have a team competition?Let all the villages hold their own groups?
Zhizhen directly vetoed it. How is this different from the survival match in the dead forest?
It's really meaningless to come to a small team to compete in groups, just remove the survival and scrolls.

And this does not mean that it is beneficial to Naruto and the others.

Hey, how should I take the exam?Zhizhen couldn't think of it for a while, and looked a little bitter.

Seeing Zhizhen's expression, Kakashi said, "Well, if you can't figure it out, just go one-on-one."

Zhizhen nodded and said, "It's still the same sentence, if there are too many people, it will be too slow to fight."

He thought for a while and asked, "Senior, Hokage-sama, do you have any ideas?"

Kakashi spread his hands, Sandai smiled and said: "This is your job, think about it yourself."

"Then let's change the question, Hokage-sama, senior, if you can't help your own people, what should you do to benefit your own people?" Zhizhen asked.

The third generation shook his head and laughed, Kakashi complained: "So you guys have such an idea."

Zhizhen smiled, and Sandai warned: "Zhizhen, this is an exam held by Konoha, if it is not fair, Konoha will become a laughing stock."

Even so, there was no displeasure in Sandai's tone.

That's right, the third generation is originally a protective character, so how could he blame Zhizhen for thinking about his own people?Just talking.

Kakashi said: "It's actually very simple. In a fair exam, it's impossible to favor one's own side. So what we have to do is to make the other party's disadvantage."

"Huh?" Zhizhen's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something.

Three generations said: "It is an undeniable fact that in an examination like an individual competition, the stronger person has a higher winning rate. So what do you think can make the opponent's winning rate smaller?"

Kakashi didn't say much, Sandai smiled and said nothing.

But Zhizhen thought about it carefully, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately had a plan for the exam.
