Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Hatake Sakumo is indeed very handsome, which is within Gu Zang's expectations.

The slightly melancholy eyes and the clean little face make her charming enough even though she is not fully mature yet.

"At such a young age, you're so strong and handsome, you'll probably be the target of jealousy and slander~"

Gu Zang left Anbu after leaving these words.

Although the small Anbu has many detours, it is not a problem for Gu Zang.

He has no eyes or ears, but instead has more complete receptors, so it is impossible for him to get lost.

Sakumo was stunned. He watched Gu Zang slowly leave his training room.

No...guidance?

You just want to see what I look like under my mask? What kind of bug is this?

......

Early the next morning, Gu Zang followed Tsunade and the other two to training ground No. 7.

This place is already crowded.

There aren't many Genin, but the Genin's relatives, friends, and the like will fill the venue in large numbers.

Fortunately, Senju Tobirama was well prepared and had already set up an audience seat at the seventh training ground.

Even without Hashirama, civil engineering can still be done through the joint practical earth-style ninjutsu of the senior ninjas, but it will be a little more difficult.

Outside the venue, Tsunade and the other two finally squeezed to the door and looked at the list posted at the door. As expected, the three of them were on the list, which meant that they passed the written test.

"I told you, what's so difficult about the written test! Hahaha~"

Jiraiya laughed out loud, not caring that among the many people around him, there might be ninjas who had not passed the written test.

"Alright Jiraiya, get in there!"

Tsunade quickly pulled the shameful guy into the competition venue.

Hiruzen was already ready in the audience. As a high-ranking member of Konoha, he naturally had a special position. Teams like Tsunade and the other two who formed the Genin team also had fixed positions.

"This way."

Hiruzen led the three of them to a corner of the audience seats.

The viewing area was a building similar to a football stadium, with the spectator seats surrounding the arena. The position where Hiruzen and the others were located was a great place to watch.

"Hiruzen-sensei~ Do you have any inside information? Who is my opponent~~"

Jiraiya cast a coquettish glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen and inquired about the news in a "formal" manner.

"It's a random draw. Don't expect to get unexpected information from me, Jiraiya. You need to learn how to gather information on your own!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen skillfully pushed Jiraiya's head out, then picked up his old pipe and took two puffs.

Jiraiya curled his lips.

Orochimaru nodded in understanding.

He had learned from Hiruzen that the seemingly random draw was actually a fixed order of battles, and even the outcome of the battles had been roughly planned.

Although this may seem unfair, in fact, after understanding the level of most of the Genin participating in the duel, it is fairer to plan the battle order in advance.

Otherwise, if a Genin who just graduated and has no teacher in charge were to face the Uchiha... he would probably be so humiliated that he would collapse.

As the audience and Genin taking the exam entered the venue, the time for the competition approached.

At the main seat, which symbolized the Hokage, a figure flashed and Senju Tobirama sat there silently.

Many people were paying attention to that seat, and the moment Senju Tobirama appeared, there was an uproar.

"Is that the Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

"So handsome! As expected of the Nidaime-sama!"

"Wow! If the Nidaime wasn't so old, I'd really like to marry him!"

"Come on, the second generation is still young, but I don't like you~"

The commotion on the field was something that Senju Tobirama had expected.

Although Tobirama Senju had a grim expression, he was really cool when he showed up with Flying Thunder God, flicked his divine robe lightly, and slowly lifted up the Hokage hat with two fingers of his other hand.

Kozo saw everything clearly from his perch on Tsunade's shoulder, and even felt a little nauseous. "You're such a good pretender! But from now on, I'll be even more pretentious than you, Senju Tobirama!"

The high-profile appearance of Senju Tobirama is inevitable, and the Hokage is the mark of a village, the belief and symbol of a village. He must be respected by the people in the village. It would be sad if even the Hokage of a village was lost in the crowd.

Senju Tobirama pressed down with one hand to suppress the noise in the venue.

"It's another Chunin Exam. It's nice to see some energetic new faces, as well as some old faces who keep fighting."

Senju Tobirama's words were very thoughtful and he did not neglect one thing for another.

"Since I first established the Ninja School..."

Senju Tobirama's lengthy speech was not only to extol his own achievements, but most importantly to encourage the Genin who were taking the Chunin Exam, as well as the civilians in the audience who wanted to become ninjas.

Senju Tobirama himself is not good at public speaking. For him, doing is simpler and more effective than saying.

But as a Hokage, this is also an essential step.

Of course, this manuscript was written for him by Koharu Utane.

"...The inheritance of the Will of Fire! I believe everyone can't wait, so, let the Chunin Exams begin!"

Clang——

The sound of the gong seemed like a brain-awakening ninjutsu, awakening everyone who was under the brainwashing illusion.

Then, the examiner jumped down from beside Senju Tobirama.

Mito Menitis.

This person, who has always been low-key and has little presence, has been serving as the Hokage's bodyguard and senior advisor since the second generation when Senju Tobirama was in charge.

When Hiruzen came to power, he still existed as an advisor.

In fact, Mito Kado En's strength is comparable to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he is also an elite ninja of Konoha at this time.

"I am Yan, the chief examiner for this Chunin Exam. First, I will announce the rules of this Chunin Exam."

Mitomon En, many people think his surname is Mito, but in fact his surname is Mitomon and his given name is En.

It's the old-fashioned way of saying just enough, friendship comes first as always, and some other trivial rules are mentioned.

This time, the Chunin Exam simply added a new rule at the end.

"Finally, in this Chunin Exam, summoned beasts will not be allowed to enter. The basis of competition will be the ninja's own strength."

Gu Zang glanced at Senju Tobirama with disdain, but he didn't expect to meet his gaze. Fortunately, Gu Zang had no eyes.

Damn Senju Tobirama is targeting you, right?!

Although not allowing Gu Zang to help Tsunade was for the sake of fairness, in fact, Senju Tobirama was not considering whether Gu Zang could help Tsunade.

But the ancient Tibetans have a history of obtaining Hashirama cells and secret techniques.

There is no guarantee that he will attack other people who possess secret techniques during the Chunin Exam. With Gu Zang's unknown strength, Senju Tobirama may not be able to stop him if he starts fighting. Moreover, there will occasionally be casualties in the Chunin Exam. Even if Gu Zang takes action, he will not be able to do anything to him.

"Now, the two Genin shown by the lottery results on the screen will take the stage to fight."

After Mitomon En finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the big screen hanging on the wall of the audience seats and stepped aside.

The names on the screen scrolled quickly until two names stopped on either side.

Tsunade VS Kato Dan.
