Alone and Infinite

Indeed, this is the case; even the Hokage has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of such large families.

Ibixi, who had been able to sit firmly as the captain of the interrogation unit for more than ten years, was not a man as rugged as his face suggested.

"That's good."

Li Xia waved his hand; his position was actually more like a prestige-enhancing trophy given to him by the Hyuga clan.

Used to enrich one's resume, with a focus on a relaxed approach.

He could tell that Ibixi was very interested in him, but Li Xia had no interest in getting entangled with Ibixi.

Time passed by, and the proctors on both sides occasionally called out to eliminate some people.

Either take swift and decisive action to kick out anyone who dares to cause trouble.

The classroom gradually emptied out.

After 45 minutes, the last question, which had been hidden all along, was finally revealed.

You can choose whether or not to answer question 10.

If you choose to answer but do not answer correctly, you will be permanently disqualified from the Chunin Exams.

Choosing not to answer will be considered a forfeit, and the entire team will be eliminated.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense.

Faced with the immense psychological pressure of 'interrogating Ibixi,' people kept raising their hands to quit.

Ibixi also continued to exert pressure.

Finally, just as the steel wire in the hearts of most test takers was about to break.

A boy wearing an orange jacket shakily raised his hand.

He then slammed his hand on the table, making a loud, crisp sound.

Naruto Uzumaki stood up and roared:

"I will not run away, even if it means spending my whole life as a junior ninja, I will never run away."

I will pass the exam in one go and become Hokage.

"To live up to my word, that is my ninja way!"

'Bye-ten-tsu' is online!

This was the first time Ibiki had witnessed the power of the "Betsukuchi" (a type of mouth technique). With just two simple sentences, the atmosphere in the entire examination room suddenly became heated.

The remaining 78 candidates seemed to have all their fear and anxiety swept away.

They sat there in their chairs, looking at Ibihi with a hint of provocation.

Seeing this scene, Ibixi knew that the exam could not continue.

The magical effect was like brainwashing; even if he continued to intimidate them, these test-takers would not back down.

So he took off his headscarf and used the hideous scar on his head to frighten the examinees.

The result was announced decisively:

"First test, everyone else—passed!"

----------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Today's average daily value: 1642

I rewatched the Chunin Exams flashback, and the entire exam process sped up.

Chapter 272 Awoo's Resurrection?! The Strongest Squad!

After Ibixi announced that all the remaining people had passed, the entire lecture hall erupted in thunderous cheers.

While these genin were excited, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and lingering fear.

I was so close, so close to giving up.

If it weren't for that blond kid

Although I don't know his name, thank you anyway!

Li Xia also looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was holding his head in disbelief.

All I can say is that Bie Tian's mouth is terrifyingly powerful!

As expected of Naruto Uzumaki, a master of talk-no-jutsu.

Even though what he said was just some of the passionate words that immature teenagers often say.

But it has an inspiring power.

After Ibiki announced the date for the next Chunin Exams, he chased away the genin who were still basking in the joy of passing the first round, like herding ducks.

Neji and Hinata wanted to greet Li Xia, but they were instead surrounded by their happy teammates and dragged away to celebrate.

All I could do was keep turning back and waving.

"I thought there would only be less than thirty people left, which would reduce the workload for the colleagues who came after."

Ibiki had somehow reappeared, watching the genin disappear around the corner.

"Both of the Hyuga children are quite good. I remember the one named Neji; he used to be very gloomy, but now he finally looks like a young man."

Li Xia glanced at him, not wanting to pay him any attention.

"So indifferent? I'll release Moriyama in a bit."

Ibihi revealed a sinister smile.

"Thank you very much."

Li Xia waved his hand and left directly. He knew why Ibixi always tried to get close to him.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't reveal what the Hyuga family had asked him to investigate.

But what if Li Xia accidentally reveals some information while chatting with him?

Ibiki would collect all of this information as intelligence and hand it over to the Third Hokage.

The connections are complex; in short, it involves village, family, responsibilities, and balance.

The warm sunlight bathed the entire leaf.

The streets were busier than ever before, with ninjas and their accompanying support staff from various countries being the best source of income.

This is one of the reasons why Konoha is happy to hold such an exam.

Those who come to Konoha on official business are mostly powerful and wealthy people from small countries.

These people have strong spending power, so even the merchants are smiling more often.

With the 500,000 taels he had just received in his pocket, Li Xia wondered if he should go buy some snacks.

He only sat for an hour during the first exam and already received 500,000 yuan.

This treatment would make a genin weep, a chunin fall silent, and even a jonin would only shake their head and sigh.

Hiashi Hyuga isn't really assigning himself work; he's clearly just finding ways to give himself some pocket money.

"Boss, is the kitten almost here?"

Awoo poked its head out and looked around for a while. It hadn't seen the kitten for so many days, and it was starting to miss it.

"Yes, that's a good time to go pick it up outside the village."

When I passed by an eatery, I bought a few grilled fish to let Heitan try.

Perhaps because of the joint exam, Konoha's defenses have actually become much lax.

On the contrary, external defenses have become more stringent.

Aowu and Li Xia chatted and discussed how to get high scores in the war.

They strolled leisurely toward the main gate.

As they chatted, Aowu suddenly veered off-topic again:

"Boss, I noticed that Iwagakure Village is involved in the mission. Why is that?"

Orochimaru already hired Akatsuki to cause trouble in the Land of Earth, didn't he?

Li Xia sighed: "We can only say that we've alerted the enemy."

The current Tsuchikage, Onoki, is a very powerful figure.

During his decades as Tsuchikage, he brought the strength of Iwagakure to its limit.

And he was the one who hired the most members of the Akatsuki organization.

Li Xia guessed that the Tsuchikage had actually figured something out from the Akatsuki's unusual attack.

Furthermore, based on the current major events in the ninja world, it can be deduced that something might happen to Konoha.

Be prepared in advance.

So the characters in the story aren't static; when you want to control someone, you really don't know who's controlling whom.

All I can say is that Li Xia's disguise as an Otsutsuki was exceptionally well done.

A large part of the reason is that the Hyuga clan is willing to believe that he is a member of their own clan on the moon.

The main road of Konoha was bustling with people, and the Chunin Exams, which were jointly organized, also attracted many wealthy and leisurely people to watch the competition.

They hadn't received an invitation and could only obediently register at the gate.

Li Xia suspected that at least half of them were from Sunagakure.

Considering that Sunagakure (the village of Sunagakure) loves to wear white, it's not surprising that they would stage a "white-clad river crossing."

"Whoosh!"

A figure about half a meter tall darted out of the woods and headed straight for Li Xia.

Konoha's two gatekeepers, Gangzitetsu and Shingetsu Izumo, changed their expressions and instantly disappeared from their original positions.

"who?"

As he spoke, the sharp kunai in his hand flew towards the dark figure.

"Dang! Dang!"

With two crisp, consecutive sounds of impact, Li Xia casually flicked the kunai away with his finger.

Then he caught the shadowy figure.

"summer?"

Wearing a green vest, Li Xia has been incredibly popular in Konoha Village lately.

Even the two who guarded the gate year-round knew that Hyuga was a special Jonin who always seemed very relaxed.

The two looked at Li Xiaju's dark figure in mid-air with a mixture of doubt and wariness.

Just a moment ago, they definitely sensed chakra.

"Xia, this is..."

"Oh, this is my summoned beast. I'm sorry, I just formed a contract with it and didn't report it to anyone."

As Li Xia spoke, she deftly took out the Konoha headband and tied it around Kurotan's neck.

Psychic beast?

The two relaxed. Although there were relatively few animal spirit beasts, it wasn't something they needed to pay special attention to.

"I see. But it's best to register, otherwise the reconnaissance unit will have to verify with you, which would be very troublesome."

Li Xia smiled and nodded in agreement, hoisted the black charcoal onto his shoulder, and walked towards Konoha.

The two little ones, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were already chatting excitedly in the team channel.

The main story of "Awoo" is about the thrilling battle with Zabuza from the Abyss.

"You don't know how powerful Zabuza of the Abyss is. He wields a large sword, has a dark complexion, is eight feet tall, and has a waist circumference of eight feet."
