Naruto the Genius

Chapter 10 Chunin Examination
After some trouble, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura went to submit their applications. Naruto did not say anything about the low-level illusion at the door being easily solved by Sasuke and Sakura. Xiao Li just nodded when he saw Naruto. However, Xiao Li still wanted to challenge Sasuke next, because Naruto's teammates must not be too bad.

Although it was the first time we met, he was still hopelessly attracted to Sakura, but unfortunately, he with thick eyebrows was the type that Sakura hated.

Sasuke is also a belligerent type. After a simple conversation, the two began to fight. With the Sharingan activated, Sasuke can easily see through the opponent's movements, even ordinary ninjutsu. However, Xiao Li is a pure physical ninja, and Sasuke keeps suffering losses after several rounds.

Although he could see through the opponent's movements, his own movements could not keep up. Sasuke could only defend against Lee's series of punches and kicks. However, in the face of Lee's powerful strength, using both hands to block and defend was basically ineffective. And Naruto had no intention of attacking either. In Naruto's opinion, Sasuke needed to suffer more blows in order to grow.

Just when the outcome was about to be decided, Kai showed up in time to stop Xiao Li, and then... Naruto and the other two were sweating profusely at the behavior of this strange master and disciple.

However, Naruto is very confident of Gai's strength. Opening the Eight Gates can surpass the strength of the Hokage. Ordinary people would probably be killed instantly. Although the Eight Gates are time-limited and risky ninjutsu, their power is undeniable. However, this way of training is obviously not suitable for Naruto.

The appearance of Kai also shocked Sasuke and Sakura, and made Sasuke eager to become stronger. A small episode happened in the middle, and soon he officially went to participate in the Chunin Exam.

When they walked into the venue, they found that most of the people were older. Naruto, who was only 12 or 13 years old, could be called a kid. He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he pulled Sasuke and Sakura to the corner. But the kind-hearted Kabuto Yakushi still came over to explain the basic situation of the Chunin Exam to them, which scared Sakura a lot.

The first exam was about to start. Ibiki's exam rules and extremely difficult questions really scared most of the candidates, but Naruto had learned a lot of knowledge and would not get zero points without cheating, so he passed the written exam easily. However, he did see a variety of cheating methods, or methods of collecting intelligence.

But what really interested Naruto was the second exam that was about to begin. The second exam might be a life-and-death battle, and he would definitely face his most powerful opponent so far, Orochimaru. As soon as the first exam was over, Mitarashi Anko appeared in the exam room. She was surprised that there were 26 groups left, but she knew that the number would definitely be reduced to less than half. So, she led all the students to the second exam location, the Forest of Death.

The name of the training ground is quite fitting, so you have to sign a death agreement before entering. After signing the agreement, the rules are introduced. Each group carries a scroll, one for the Book of Heaven and one for the Book of Earth. You must collect both and reach the high tower in the middle to pass, which means that at most half of the people will pass. And you must stay in the Death Forest for five days and you must arrange your own food and accommodation for five days. Each group hands in three consent forms in exchange for a scroll, chooses an entrance, and enters the Death Forest at the same time when the time comes. In this way, you don't know which entrance the other teams are at, which scroll they are holding, and who holds the scroll.

Soon, everyone handed in their consent forms, changed their scrolls, chose different entrances, and entered the Death Forest at the same time. Naruto's group's scroll was naturally given to Naruto, who had the strongest strength. With a start, everyone quickly entered the Death Forest.

Not long after entering, someone screamed. It was obvious that he was killed. Naruto found someone secretly following them, so he left with an excuse. Soon, the enemy transformed into Naruto to deceive Sakura and Sasuke. Unfortunately, Sasuke saw through his trick and immediately fought with the person. However, the person's skills were obviously not as good as Sasuke's, and he fled soon. At this time, Naruto hid in the bushes because he realized that there were other enemies hiding in other places ready to act.

What made Naruto feel ridiculous was that the enemy transformed into Naruto's appearance again, but was still discovered by Sasuke. Seeing that the transformation technique was meaningless, he undoes the transformation technique and asks his companions to leave so that he can deal with it alone.

The next move was even more incomprehensible. He actually knew that Naruto and the others were holding the Book of Heaven, and then he took out his Book of Earth to show Sasuke. This was obviously not in line with common sense, but then he actually swallowed the scroll in his hand.

Seeing this action, Sakura and Sasuke were just surprised, but Naruto's pupils shrank. He could swallow anything and was still teasing Sasuke to fight him. This person must be Orochimaru. I didn't expect him to appear so quickly. From the current situation, he seems to have not discovered that Naruto is hiding in the dark, but if the trio is missing one person, even an idiot knows that the other person is temporarily away, not to mention Orochimaru who has extremely rich combat experience. Therefore, Orochimaru just doesn't know Naruto's specific location for the time being, or he clearly knows his location and chooses to ignore it.

Because Orochimaru knew how powerful Itachi was, so in his opinion, only Sasuke who possessed the Sharingan could become a strong man, and people without Uchiha bloodline could not open the Sharingan. Currently, besides Itachi, only Sasuke is known to have this bloodline limit.

But that would take time for Sasuke to grow up. At this moment, Sasuke was already defeated by Orochimaru's murderous intent. Facing Orochimaru's murderous intent, Sasuke and Sakura were unable to move at all. At this time, Orochimaru looked at the bushes not far away: "How long do you plan to hide? Why don't you come out?"
