The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

After returning to the central tower of the Death Forest, Xia Li came to the top of the tower and looked at the bright moon, her thoughts racing for a while.

From a sentimental perspective, he definitely wanted to save the Third Hokage.

Xia Li didn't want to care about the reputation of the previous three generations of Hokages. He only knew that the other party was good to him and sincerely considered him, giving him the Flying Thunder God and many resources to improve his strength.

Although the price is to become Jiraiya's disciple, can that be considered a price...

Besides, he said that Sasuke's brother was a white-eyed wolf every day. Now if he chooses to stand by and watch when he has the ability, then who does he have the right to say anything?

And from a rational perspective, is it a good thing to just sit back and do nothing? Not necessarily.

After all, from the perspective of interests, Xia Li thought it was best for the third generation to survive. After all, Xia Li was still young and could not have any conflict of interest with the third generation. On the contrary, the other party could protect his interests.

What's more, the third generation's purpose of waiting for him to grow up should not be too obvious. The only disadvantage is probably that if he really becomes Hokage, the third generation will probably become a consultant. By then, the third generation's indecisive character will indeed be troublesome.

But in general, the benefits to Xia Li of surviving the current three generations are definitely far greater than death.

Maybe not changing the plot can be considered an advantage?

But Xia Li couldn't remember much in the first place. He only remembered some of it when he reached some memorable points, and in fact, he had changed the plot a long time ago.

Because if he was afraid of changing the plot, he wouldn't be able to kill so much in ANBU. Doesn't what he does in ANBU have any impact? No, it's just not highlighted yet.

What's more, Sasuke has no intention of surrendering to Orochimaru now, and Xia Li has no intention of letting Sasuke go to Orochimaru later.

Since so many changes have been made, are you still thinking about not changing the plot? Is there something wrong with your head?

Although it seems that not much has changed yet, the world must have taken a different path.

All these things made Xia Li's heart become more determined. Then he would follow his heart and do his best to save the third generation.

As for the Leaf Village...

Xia Li was a little silent. His initial thinking did not include the interests of the Leaf Village. After all, he was a 'selfish' person who only cared about himself and the people around him, so he remained silent after the third generation said that principle.

Xia Li really didn't expect that the third generation would really care about this rule and sacrifice his life for it. If not, would Orochimaru really be able to trap the third generation in the Four Purple Flame Formation?

Without being trapped, could he kill three generations just by relying on his imperfect reincarnation? Not to mention the distance, the nearest Seven Gate Kai can make Orochimaru eat a pot!

So, Xia Li stretched out her hand and looked at the moon through her fingers. Is he really suitable for the position of Hokage with such selfishness?

Not necessarily, Xia Li's eyes flashed. If he was the Hokage at that time, Konoha would have become his private property. How could others get involved in private property?

No, Xia Li frowned. In that case, he should work hard for this at this time and try his best to reduce the damage to Konoha's living forces. Wouldn't it be better to take over a intact Konoha?

It seems reasonable, but...

Forget it, Xia Li nodded. He himself also found that he had this old problem, that is, he always likes to think too much, and he hasn't changed his horoscope yet.

Besides, his current strength is not enough, so he still needs to work hard to become stronger. He doesn't want to be a Hokage trapped in that position.

What can support his ideas is strength.

But it's coming soon. After this incident is over, he should be able to start learning the magic of immortality. This is also the last opportunity he can think of to make rapid progress.

The amount of chakra should be barely enough, and the perception has already reached the requirements, which is the last step.

Xia Li estimated that even though his sage mode was not as perfect as Naruto as the protagonist, it should not be as half-finished as Jiraiya.

Xia Li is still looking forward to his own immortal mode. What will it be like?

After thinking about everything, Xia Li returned to the tower and waited quietly for the end of the second round of exams.

…………

"Finally we're here, it's been a lot of trouble along the way." Shikamaru said lazily, looking at the central tower in front of him.

"In this case, we have passed the second round of the exam." Ino also said a little happily, getting closer to Xia Li this way.

"Yeah, yeah!" Choji also nodded happily eating snacks, especially since these snacks were given to him by Ino, they tasted even more delicious.

"Well, it should be successful if you open the Sky Scroll and the Earth Scroll at the same time." Shikamaru said.

"Okay, Shikamaru, let's open it together." Ino said and took out a scroll with the character for sky, and Shikamaru also took out the scroll with the character for earth.

Soon, the two scrolls were opened at the same time and placed on the ground.

"This is..." Shikamaru looked at the writing on the scroll with a look of surprise.

The next moment, a line of white smoke rose, and at the same time, a figure also appeared at the intersection of the heaven and earth scrolls.

"Well done, Ino. Of course Shikamaru and Choji." Xia Li looked at the three of them with a smile.

"When you hear it, you can tell that Choji and I are being treated extremely perfunctorily." Shikamaru curled his lips and said, and then watched Ino rush forward in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh, it always felt so difficult.

After working so hard for so long, did Ino end up meeting her boyfriend? A bit raw!

"How have you been feeling along the way?" Xia Li held Ino's little hand and asked with concern.

"Well, fortunately, we didn't encounter any danger. Usually dangerous things were avoided by Shikamaru in advance." Ino said and couldn't help but look at Shikamaru. With him here, even the Chunin Exam felt really good. It's like turning on simple mode.

"Well, Shikamaru does have a very powerful mind." Xia Li also nodded, and he still recognized Shikamaru's mind.

"No matter how powerful your mind is, there is nothing you can do without the corresponding means. The reason why it is so simple is because Ino and Choji are very powerful." Shikamaru said.

Although Ino and Choji didn't say anything after hearing this, they also smiled.

Xia Li looked at Shikamaru, and then smiled as well. As expected, he was the only ninja in the original book who became a chuunin after the interrupted exam. Shikamaru did have this qualification.

"Okay, have a good rest. I guess the second round of exams isn't over yet." Xia Li glanced at the people in the tower and said.

"Are there too many people?" Shikamaru also saw that there were a lot of people in the tower.

"Yes, after all, the third exam will be watched by daimyo and some high-ranking officials. All the participants must be elites. Otherwise, if the daimyo sees the battle between two three-legged cat kung fu ninjas, it will be an embarrassment to any village. ." Xia Li said.

"Tch, it's troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed again after hearing this, why did he have so many things to do during the exam.

Ino and Choji also had serious expressions on their faces and concentrated on resting, but the way they rested made Shikamaru's eyes twitch.
