Chapter 100: Changes in Mentality

Sasuke changed his words. Since he couldn't find the person Ye Feng mentioned, and the person in front of him had a lot of information about the candidates, he might as well change his thinking: "You have collected a lot of information about the candidates, and you should have some understanding of the strength of each candidate. In your opinion, who is most likely to get the first place this time? Or which ones should I pay attention to?"

Kabuto Yakushi showed an interested look, looked at Sasuke and said: "You are confident in your own strength, but it happens that I have analyzed it."

He pulled out a few cards from the neatly arranged cards and put the rest into his pocket. Then he showed the cards to Sasuke and said, "I think these people can make it to the end."

While speaking, Kabuto Yakushi did not forget to input chakra into the card, causing a half-body image of a person to appear on the blank card.

The half-length portrait is in the upper right corner of the card, and the upper left corner is the basic information of the owner of the half-length portrait, including age, expertise, teammates and instructors.

The lower half of the card shows the number and level of tasks completed, as well as a pentagonal pattern that is evenly divided into five equal spaces. The five corners are written with body, ninja, ninja tools, illusion, and blood respectively.

In the corner of the card, there is a bar chart corresponding to the various values ​​in the pentagonal pattern. The colors are different, so people can see at a glance what the owner of the half-length face is good at.

Pointing to one of the cards, Kabuto Yakushi said, "This is Rock Lee, one year older than you. His mission experience is 20 D-level missions and 11 C-level missions. His leader is Might Guy."

"Rock Lee is good at physical skills, especially after graduating from the Ninja School and following Might Guy, his physical skills have improved very quickly in this year, but he is completely bad at other aspects."

"He was well-known last year as a very capable Genin, but he did not take part in the Chuunin Exams. Like you, he will be taking part for the first time this year, with Tenten and Hyuuga Neji as his teammates."

Everyone listened very attentively. Rock Lee was a graduate one year older than them. They had met each other in school, but they didn't have much interaction. They just heard that there was a student who only knew physical skills but not other ninjutsu.

At that time, they were still wondering, who is this Rock Lee? How did he pass the school's admission selection?

How can you be successful if you only know Taijutsu? This is an era where Ninjutsu is rampant, and they have never heard of anyone who has become famous in the Ninja world by Taijutsu.

Forgive their ignorance. In fact, before Emperor Kai almost kicked him out in the finale, who would have thought that someone could master physical skills so well?

Sasuke and the other two didn't show much change in expression. They had come into contact with Rock Lee and knew how abnormal his physical skills were. Ye Feng was right, Rock Lee was indeed their formidable rival.

Even Sasuke, who possesses the three-magatama Sharingan, doesn't dare to say that he can definitely beat Rock Lee. Well... in terms of physical skills alone, although his eyes can see Rock Lee's movements clearly, he can't keep up with the speed, so he can only become a target to be beaten.

The others had never met Xiao Li and didn't know what was special about him. They just saw Pharmacist Dou introducing him in a serious manner, and their expressions were more or less solemn.

Shikamaru even kept yelling: "The Chunin Exam is troublesome. I don't want to fight with others. It's too wasteful. How long will it take to recover?"

He didn't pay attention to Shikamaru's complaint. As a member of the Nara clan, Shikamaru's information was already on Kabuto Yakushi's card list. He knew that this family was lazy, so Kabuto Yakushi just smiled and said, "It is worth noting that Rock Lee's teammate, Hyuga Neji, is also a strong opponent."

"He was born into the Hyuga clan, which is as famous as the Uchiha clan. Although he is a branch clan, his talent is definitely the strongest in the Hyuga clan. I don't know his strength, and no one knows it either, because no one has ever seen him use his full strength."

"But according to my guess, just a guess, with his Byakugan and the soft fist technique passed down from his family, his strength is probably even higher than Rock Lee's."

"Well, it's definitely better than him." Sasuke thought to himself.

He had also seen Neji's strength. With one move, 'Kaiten', all his moves were rendered ineffective. The all-round defense was like an indestructible turtle shell, making him feel like he had no idea where to start.

Rock Lee's attack couldn't break Neji's defense.

Of course, it was just a simple sparring at the time, and no one was serious. It was hard to say whether Rock Lee's full strength could break it, but Sasuke knew that Neji definitely had more than one trick up his sleeve, and he must have other tricks up his sleeve.

"Unless you are in a truly desperate situation, you should always have a trump card in your hand no matter what the situation is." This is what Ye Feng told them. Ye Feng also said, "One trump card is just the bottom line. The more trump cards you have, the better. This way, no one will dare to touch you easily. Before they do, they will think about whether they can withstand the counterattack from your unknown trump card."

"Only you know your trump card. If others know your trump card, it is no longer called a trump card."

Sasuke felt that what Ye Feng said made sense, so when Ye Feng asked him to try not to use the Sharingan, he agreed immediately.

The Three-magatama Sharingan is his trump card, and it is also his only trump card so far.

The only person who knew that his Sharingan had three magatama besides himself was Ye Feng, and Sasuke still trusted Ye Feng very much.

Even he himself didn't know why he trusted Ye Feng so much. Even in the illusion, he was worried about Ye Feng's death. Even though he knew it was fake, he still panicked at that moment.

Perhaps, it was because Ye Feng was completely unreserved in front of him?

This was the only answer Sasuke could think of.

Before meeting Ye Feng, Sasuke always thought that the culprit that led to the genocide of the clan was his brother Itachi. He also couldn't understand why Itachi's temperament suddenly changed and not only killed his beloved parents, but also killed other clan members who he lived with day and night.

Why? Why?

He wanted to kill Itachi to avenge his dead clansmen and parents. He also wanted to find Itachi and find out why he did this.

Later, he learned from Ye Feng that there was another hidden story behind the genocide. Although Itachi was the one who did it, it was not his own intention, but someone forced him to do so.

The hidden story and the person behind this are in the village.

It’s right in the village, ridiculous, really ridiculous!!!

If Ye Feng hadn't told him the truth, Sasuke couldn't even imagine what would happen in the future.

Maybe one day, I will kill my brother Itachi. Maybe the person behind the scenes wants to see me do this. Maybe, I will spend the first half of my life and the second half of my life with hatred and regret.

Your whole life will be kept in the dark and controlled by the person behind the scenes.

It's really ridiculous. Sasuke didn't believe that the village leaders didn't know the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, but no one told him even a little bit.

An entire family was wiped out, a big family like the Uchiha, and the village guards didn't even notice it and said it was done by one person?

This is ridiculous. How old was Itachi at the time? How could he have the power to kill all the Uchiha clan members? And quietly?

It’s terrifying when you think about it, isn’t it?

Whenever he thought of this, Sasuke felt a chill all over his body. Previously, he was blinded by hatred and did not notice anything unusual. After Ye Feng pointed it out, Sasuke realized that this official statement was full of loopholes!

No one thought there was anything wrong with the horrible thing, and the civilians behaved normally. The Uchiha clan became their after-dinner topic, and only when it was mentioned would they think of the existence of such a family in the village. Older people might even mutter a few words about how bad this family was.

And those families that were ranked high in the village all pretended to be deaf and dumb. Sasuke didn't believe that they didn't get any news at all.

After being enlightened by Ye Feng, Sasuke could also understand that no one wants his family to be framed with a false crime and the destruction of the family becomes history.

Ye Feng told him a lot and spoke highly of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke had never heard such an evaluation from anywhere else. He still remembers what Ye Feng said - the Uchiha clan is not an evil clan, but a clan born with love!

Sasuke liked this comment very much. He even wrote it on a piece of paper as a slogan and pasted it at the end of his bed so that he could see it every day when he opened his eyes.

The appearance of the uncle has changed me a lot. Although he sometimes speaks harshly and always plays pranks on me, I like such pranks. Who said that in order to open and upgrade the Sharingan, you must witness the person you care about getting into trouble? Well, the uncle has found a new way.

Sasuke was distracted, thinking about a lot of things in his mind.

Who is good to you, who is not, who speaks badly to you, and who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, a person who knows this can feel it himself without being reminded by others.

Sasuke thought of Naruto. Naruto's life experience was semi-public in the village. Everyone who knew him knew that Naruto's parents were both dead and he had lived alone since he was a child.

Although he received help from the village, the previous Sasuke really couldn't understand what kind of mentality Naruto had. He couldn't understand how Naruto could remain optimistic despite being excluded.

Now, he could understand it a little bit, because he also had no parents and no family.

From another perspective, Sasuke is even more miserable than Naruto. Naruto has never felt the warmth from his family, nor the love from his parents. Everything exists in Naruto's fantasy, but Sasuke has experienced it in reality.

He once had a family, parents, a brother who loved him, and tribesmen who had watched him grow up, but after one night, everything was gone.

Isn’t there a saying that once having something is more regrettable than never having it at all?

Sakura touched Sasuke's shoulder, feeling a little worried. Everyone else was listening carefully to Kabuto Yakushi's explanation, but she was not.

She already had a goal in her mind. Excluding Shikamaru, the title of Chunin was the one she cared the least about. The one she cared about the most was Sasuke.

After spending a long time with Sasuke, she got used to his temper and could feel the changes in his mentality, especially in recent times. Sakura could feel that Sasuke was becoming more and more cheerful. He used to be lifeless and full of worries. He would only smile sarcastically when competing with Naruto, or smile excitedly when fighting with the enemy. Now he can even smile when talking with other people. Although the smile was forced, it still surprised her and she was looking forward to Sasuke's next change.

She wanted Sasuke to be able to fit in with normal life.

Sakura knew that Sasuke's change was inseparable from Ye Feng, because she had seen that only when Sasuke was with Ye Feng could he let down his guard and laugh happily.

It has been a while since she felt that gloomy aura from Sasuke, but just now, the aura that made her feel uncomfortable emerged again, making her a little worried.

Sasuke came back to his senses and shook his head to show that he was fine.

"Are you really alright?" Sakura asked with her eyes, "How about we go back and not take part in the Chunin Exam this time, and wait for the next time..."

Sasuke stopped Sakura from continuing with his eyes: "No, now that we are here, if we go back without doing anything, I will be laughed at by the uncle for a long time."

"But...your previous condition?" Sakura was still worried. She was really afraid that Sasuke would return to his old state.

"It's okay, I just thought of something just now, and I'm fine now." Sasuke insisted on staying.

He came to take part in the Chunin Exam not only to test his own strength, but also to complete the task assigned to him by Ye Feng.

The day before the exam, Ye Feng called himself and Ningci aside and explained something to them. He could not quit until the task was completed.

As everyone knows, when Ye Feng asks someone to do something for him, he will explain the benefits in advance. The benefits may not be given immediately, but they will definitely make your wait worthwhile.

At least Sasuke thought it was worth it.

"What are you talking about?" An uninvited guest joined the eye contact group. Naruto looked left and right, confused.

The eye contact group was closed, Sasuke and Sakura left, no one answered Naruto's question, and Naruto didn't care, he was already used to this kind of sudden closure of the group chat.

Ino was so angry watching from the side, she only saw Sasuke and Sakura flirting with each other. She wanted to get angry, but was worried about attracting the attention of other candidates in the classroom again. She could only suppress her anger and decided to settle the score with Sakura after she got out.

Sasuke will only be mine! You have a broad forehead, what can you compare with me? Ino sneered in her heart.
