It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

I didn't expect to be suddenly attacked in the examination room.

While Yakushi Kabuto was stunned, he barely dodged the punch coming towards him at the last moment.

However, although he had avoided the attack, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly fell to his knees, spitting out blood from his mouth.

"Small ninja village? The ninjas of Konoha are really arrogant..."

The young Otonin who had his head wrapped in bandages and attacked Kabuto Yakushi expressed his dissatisfaction with Kabuto Yakushi's comments about the Otogakure Village.

Then, while he was talking, his companions from the Otonagakure came to his side.

They are a young boy with a huge "Death" written on his clothes, and a girl with long black hair.

"Kabuto-senpai!"

Naruto, who was closest to Kabuto Yakushi, hurried to Kabuto Yakushi who was kneeling on the ground.

The blood that Yakushi Kabuto spat out on the ground was also scattered with the broken lenses from his glasses frame.

"Are you OK?"

Naruto grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's arm and helped him up, concerned about his physical condition.

"Cough cough!"

Yakushi Kabuto coughed up another mouthful of blood, and then he came to his senses and answered Naruto: "It's no big deal, thank you, Naruto."

"Humph, no wonder you're still a Genin even though you've participated in the Chunin Exams so many times. You're so weak that you dare to speak so harshly to the Otogakure just because you're a ninja from Konoha."

The bandaged Oto-nin boy sneered, "Update your outdated intelligence and remember the three people from Oto-gakure - Toss Anvil, Sack Stirrup, and Koto Hammer. They all easily became Chunin in the seventh Chunin exam, which you are destined to fail again!"

Toss raised his hand again, revealing the helmet with holes on his arm. Judging from his posture, he obviously did not intend to let Yakushi Kabuto go.

Tos's companions, the boy named Sack and the girl named Qin, also sneered.

"hateful!"

Sasuke also took out a kunai. He didn't care about the life or death of Kabuto Yakushi, but he was very worried that Toss's next attack on Kabuto Yakushi would indiscriminately attack Naruto as well.

Naruto's expression remained calm.

Those examiners hiding in the dark will not allow the fight between candidates to escalate.

Fighting and killing is the content of the second exam.

"That's all for me!"

With a roar, thick smoke suddenly appeared on the podium of classroom 301.

The smoke cleared, and a group of examiners of the Konoha Chunin Exam, wearing cement-colored uniforms, appeared in front of everyone.

The ninja leading this group of Chunin examiners is the captain of the Konoha interrogation corps, whose face is covered with hideous scars and whose ninja rank is a special jonin.

——"I am the examiner of the first exam of the Chunin Exam, Ibiki Morino."

I briefly introduced myself to the candidates in the examination room.

Ibiki's eyes were on the Otogakure trio: "Do you want to be disqualified from the exam?"

"It's just a normal ninja exchange. Isn't that the purpose of the Chunin Exam? To unite ninjas from various countries to assess their ninja strength."

Toss answered, and although his words were sharp, his tone softened his attitude towards Ibiki.

"Oh, you see it clearly."

Ibiki said nothing more and motioned the Chunin beside him to come forward.

The Chunin examiner with a bandage on his nose was holding a cardboard box in his hands.

"Now you will have five minutes to draw your seat numbers."

Following Ibiki's order, all the candidates lined up and began to take out the numbered seat number slips from the cardboard boxes.

"That examiner with a bandage on his nose, and the examiner next to him... don't they look a bit like the two people who blocked the door on the second floor before?"

Sakura, who was standing behind Naruto in the line, whispered her observations.

"The chakra feels about the same, so it should be correct."

Naruto also glanced at Gang Zi Tetsu and Kanzuki Izumo who had returned to their original forms, but didn't pay much attention to them.

He quickly retracted his gaze and focused on Kabuto Yakushi who was in front of the team.

He was thinking about whether his previous action of supporting Kabuto Yakushi would make Kabuto Yakushi feel uncomfortable under the circumstances at that time.

The result of thinking is that it is reasonable.

Originally, Kabuto Yakushi approached Naruto and the others with a "good intention" attitude, and it was because Naruto "asked too much" that he asked about the information of the Otonagakure Village.

Yakushi Kabuto was attacked because his description of Otogakure Village made Toss and the others dissatisfied.

Naruto and Kabuto Yakushi are actually acting.

Kabuto Yakushi's performance is to strengthen his "weak" strength in the eyes of others as he has never been able to pass the exam to become a Chunin, and to create his image as a harmless Konoha ninja senior.

This is a preparation for Kabuto Yakushi to have deep contact with Uchiha Sasuke in the Forest of Death.

In deep contact, look for the answers to Kabuto Yakushi's own confusion that may exist in Sasuke.

Naruto simply added his own drama to Kabuto Yakushi's performance.

While supporting Kabuto Yakushi just now, Naruto had already prepared his own backup plan.

That is the Flying Thunder God Mark.

Konoha's Forest of Death, the second Chunin Exam where killing people is legal... Naruto will "legally" eliminate Kabuto Yakushi, a huge hidden danger in the future.

"next."

Tsunako Tetsu, who was in charge of drawing the seat numbers for the candidates, shouted.

Naruto took a step forward to the podium, his hand reaching into the box and pulling out a random piece of paper.

"next."

Tsunako Tetsu repeated his cry.

Naruto tactfully left the podium, glanced at the number on the piece of paper, and walked towards the seat with the corresponding number.

Until Naruto passed by Hinata who was already sitting in her seat.

Naruto then showed a hint of surprise.

His seat for this exam wasn't actually the same as Hinata's?

Naruto walked towards the back of the classroom again and finally stopped in front of Ino.

"What...what?"

Ino was also stunned when she saw Naruto appearing in front of her.

"Humph……"

Naruto found it amusing that Ino's expression was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him.

"Laugh! What are you laughing at?"

Ino finally realized that she always subconsciously lowered her posture when facing Naruto.

She is not usually like this. She should be the one who takes more control of the initiative!

Thinking of this, Ino glared at Naruto fiercely.

But the aura displayed by Ino was completely different from what she thought, she was just bluffing.

"You're quite amusing."

Naruto left his comments on Ino, started walking again, and passed by Ino.

Ino finally realized that Naruto's seat was not at the same seat with her!

Just now, she was the first one to ask Naruto when she saw him coming over, showing timidity, and Naruto took the opportunity to tease her.

hateful!

Has this guy become more annoying than before?

Ino complained in her heart...

But think carefully about how cold Naruto used to be.

Although the current Naruto is a little "annoying", Ino is more willing to get along with the current Naruto.

Naruto doesn't have the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, so he can't hear or see what's going on in Ino's mind.

He stopped in front of Ino earlier because he was surprised by his neighbor.

In order to conceal his extreme surprise, he teased Ino and made it seem like the reason for his sudden stop was because of Ino.

Naruto finally sat down in his seat.

And his desk mate was Temari.
