Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 45 Kabuto Yakushi's Disarrayed Escape

Tetsuya's outburst was so fast that none of the Konoha members present had time to stop him. By the time they reacted, Kabuto Yakushi's life was already in Tetsuya's hands.

"Sasuke, aren't your companions going a bit too far?"

Although Kabuto's attitude had a lecturing quality that displeased everyone, his tendency to attack without warning and go straight for the vitals only fueled their discontent. So, Choji mumbled something while eating potato chips.

"If I was only suspicious before, now it's almost certain. This Kabuto-senpai is clearly a spy sent to Konoha by another ninja village, isn't he?"

Tetsuya smiled, emphasizing the word "senior".

Kabuto Yakushi's tragic life was a product of the distorted structure of the ninja world's endless war, and an insignificant link in countless tragedies. However, no one can deny that Kabuto's talent and intelligence were among the most outstanding of the natives. Despite lacking a distinguished family background and the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, he rose from a lowly double agent to one of the masterminds behind the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Well, to add one last thing, the entire responsibility lies with the Kageyama Danzo.

Although Kabuto has not yet reached his complete form, that does not prevent Tetsuya from making preparations in advance.

Whether it's Kabuto Yakushi's later refined Impure World Reincarnation technique or the Sage Mode he learned from Ryuchi Cave, both are good options for Tetsuya.

spy?

The crowd, who had originally intended to intervene and help those in need, suddenly felt a chill and their eyes became more cautious.

Most of the Konoha Twelve were from Konoha ninja clans, and their knowledge and experience far surpassed that of ordinary civilian ninjas. Although they were skeptical of Tetsuya's words, they all went on high alert, ready to take action at any time.

"Heh, what do you newbies know? Do you really think the Chunin Exams are that easy to pass? Countless Konoha ninjas spend their entire lives as genin, never passing the Chunin Exams even until their deaths..."

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi's acting talent was on full display. He spoke with great emotion, and even had tears welling up in his eyes.

Kabuto's words weren't entirely unreasonable, since in Konoha's system, genin were the strongest.

"I don't know about the others, but there's definitely something wrong with you. In my perception, your strength is comparable to Kakashi-sensei, so how could you fail the Chunin Exams?"

His strength is comparable to that of elite Jonin Kakashi?

Tetsuya's words shocked everyone. At the same time, black insects silently crawled towards Kabuto Yakushi from under Shino's feet, who had the lowest presence. At the same time, Shino gently tugged at Hinata Hyuga's sleeve.

"Byakugan, activate!"

Hinata immediately understood Shino's meaning and instantly activated her Byakugan, bringing both Tetsuya and Kabuto's internal conditions into her field of vision.

"Both of them... have enormous amounts of chakra, even more than Kurenai-sensei."

Hearing Hinata's words and noticing the subtle changes in everyone's expressions, Kabuto Yakushi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was already considering retreating.

Kabuto Yakushi infiltrated the Chunin Exams with the intention of observing Sasuke's performance for Orochimaru, but little did he expect that his identity would be exposed before the exams even began.

Although Tetsuya had no evidence, Kabuto Yakushi knew that his identity could not withstand scrutiny. Once he fell into the sights of Konoha's higher-ups, many things would be impossible to hide.

In the original timeline, Kabuto Yakushi's sudden withdrawal from the Chunin Exams aroused Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicion, forcing him to wear a mask and disguise himself as an Anbu member, making it impossible for him to appear openly in Konoha.

"Tetsuya-kun, I'll remember you."

The fake smile on Kabuto's face vanished abruptly, and his eyes became incredibly sharp, a stark contrast to his previous harmless demeanor.

Bang!

With a flick of his finger, Kabuto released a small white ball that landed abruptly, spewing out a cloud of smoke that instantly filled the entire classroom.

Many ninjas only inhaled a little bit before their eyes rolled back and they collapsed to the ground, causing chaos at the scene.

Tetsuya felt his fingers slip, and the neck he had been holding suddenly stretched out, becoming soft and boneless. In an instant, Kabuto Yakushi broke free of Tetsuya's control, then flashed to the window and leaped out. With a few Body Flicker Techniques, he left the ninja academy's range and headed towards the edge of Konoha. Finally, his chakra fluctuations suddenly disappeared in a civilian's house, and even Kagura's Mind's Eye could not find a trace of him.

So, that's where Orochimaru is hiding in Konoha?

Tetsuya deliberately stirred up trouble, not for Kabuto Yakushi, but for Orochimaru behind him.

Soon, the chief examiner, Ibiki Morino, arrived with a group of examiners after hearing about the situation and quickly brought the chaotic situation in the classroom under control.

"It's anesthetic smoke used by medical ninjas; they'll wake up soon."

After checking on the unconscious genin, Morino Ibiki stood up and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There were as many as twenty or thirty unconscious genin, more than half of whom were genin from other ninja villages. If they died here, it would inevitably cause a serious diplomatic incident.

"Take them all out. They fell for such a simple trick; they're all out of the game now."

With a wave of his hand, Ibiki Morino carried away the unconscious ninjas, much to the relief of the genin who hadn't been affected.

Soon, Ibiki Morino found out everything. He whispered a few words to Tetsuo Kouko and told him to report the situation to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Then, Ibiki Morino announced that the exam had officially begun.

As the hair curling test began, the many genin present each displayed their unique abilities, using different methods to gather answers from others. As long as it was done discreetly enough, none of the examiners interfered.

Tetsuya, who understood the true content of the exam, did not submit a blank paper like Naruto. As a member of the nine-year compulsory education system, Tetsuya's theoretical grades during his time at the Ninja Academy were not bad, and he managed to answer seven questions.

As the exam was about to end, Morino Ibiki indeed brought out the intimidating tenth question. Many genin who couldn't withstand the pressure left, reducing the number of people in the classroom by more than half.

As Ibiki Morino announced that all the ninjas who remained in the classroom had passed the first exam, the ninjas present cheered. Tetsuya, however, turned his head slightly and looked towards the window.

Mitarashi sweet potato... um, now it's red bean, here it comes.

Unexpectedly, a boy with such strong sensory abilities would appear among the genin. It's no wonder that the spy was exposed.

Ibiki Morino's gaze fell on Tetsuya's face, surprised by the other's perception ability.

Bang!

As shards of glass scattered across the floor, Mitarashi Anko appeared beside the classroom podium in an extremely flamboyant manner.

"This is not the time to be happy. I am the examiner for the second exam, Mitarashi Anko. Ninjas who wish to participate in the second exam, follow me!"

Faced with Anko's extremely exaggerated tone and actions, the entire classroom fell silent. All the ninjas stared at Anko in disbelief, unable to react for a moment.

"There are still so many teams left... Hmph, I'll eliminate at least half of them in the second exam."

Red Bean was clearly very dissatisfied with the candidates' silence. After muttering a few words loudly, she told the candidates to go find the class ninja in charge to ask about the meeting place and time for tomorrow, and then announced that the class was dismissed.
