The Konoha Chunin Exams officially began.
Different outsiders started entering Konoha's gates one after another.
And all these individuals had to pass through Satoru's eyes.
Ninja from Hidden Sand Village, Village Hidden in the Sound, Grass Village, Hidden Rain Village, and some smaller Ninja Villages.
More Villages were revealed than when he watched the anime of the original work.
Small Villages like Smoke Village and Roast Ninja Village.
Some Satoru had never even heard of, like that Roast Ninja Village; he heard it was a small Ninja Village near the Land of Fire.
It didn't belong to the Land of Fire, nor to any other country.
It was a Village that liked to roast meat with Ninjutsu; according to them, their Village was even promoting a new profession called "Gourmet Ninja" in various countries.
They were specifically responsible for hunting food.
They abandoned the traditional Ninja work of assassination and espionage.
Surprisingly, this unconventional philosophy allowed their Village to survive very well in the Ninja World, and Gourmet Ninja also became prevalent in some small areas.
It was similar to Nadeshiko Village, which he encountered in the Land of before, a relatively remote Village.
But according to Satoru's investigation, these small Villages were all out to see the world; many didn't intend to make a big splash.
Being small Villages, they didn't have much room to make a big splash either.
Anyway, Satoru had investigated all related Villages, and there were quite a few Villages that took an unconventional path, even using the opportunity to come to Konoha to promote their own ideas.
Just like Nadeshiko Village only trained female Ninja, and Roast Ninja Village researched food.
Many small Villages had their own unique set of philosophies.
"An eye-opener."
This was Satoru's thought.
It was far from watching the original story; although the main plot was similar, the real world was much richer.
Moreover, these small Villages all had their own unique Ninjutsu.
Nadeshiko Village combined dance to develop unique Ninjutsu.
Roast Ninja Village's Ninjutsu was very suitable for cooking, developed for food research.
There were also Ninja Villages that could use gems to activate Ninjutsu and other secret techniques; in short, they were all very strange and peculiar.
Satoru had never really paid much attention before.
"So this is Konoha, it's not that great!"
Just as he was thinking, behind a handsome figure, a group of youths wearing Village Hidden in the Sound headbands looked around and complained about the environment.
"Dosu, the Land of Fire is the richest country in the world in terms of resources, but its development level...
It really doesn't seem to be in line with the rest of the world."
One of the girls said, a hint of disdain in her tone.
"Kin, this must be the pride of a big Village, thinking that being a big Village makes them great,
No need to learn from other countries, it's understandable.
We will let them know that Village Hidden in the Sound is the strongest and make the adults look at us with new eyes."
Dosu's long sleeves almost dragged on the ground as he spoke with contempt to Kin Tsuchi.
Zaku Abumi: "Heh heh heh, Konoha is nothing special, right, Lord Ibiki?"
Their leader, the handsome young man at the front, smiled at the remark: "Don't underestimate Konoha's Ninja, that will cost you dearly."
Then he looked at Satoru and the other two at the registration booth.
"Registration."
He walked up, pulled out the credentials from the Village Hidden in the Sound in the Land of Rice Fields, and handed them over.
Izumo Kamizuki next to him took the credentials, glanced at the person in front of him, and after frowning, completed the registration.
Dai Ibiki, what a strange name.
People from the Land of Rice , no wonder it's so strange.
The surnames in the Land of Rice Fields are a bit different from those in the Land of Fire.
"Thank you."
Ibiki even politely said thank you.
Then he looked at Satoru: "So this is Captain Satoru of Konoha, I've heard much about you."
How vigilant, they even use such a ninjas to guard the gate.
Or rather, is Konoha's power already so abundant?
He sneered inwardly.
"Hmm, you have good taste. Are you a fan of mine from the Land of Rice ?
How about this, I'll sign an autograph for you. I'm telling you, even though I'm not a celebrity,
My autograph can also be sold for money. Seeing as you're a fan,
I'll give you a discount."
Satoru stifled a laugh and said to him.
But he was also very impressed inwardly.
Orochi-style Transformation Jutsu, it's really amazing!
If he didn't know that Village Hidden in the Sound was created by Orochimaru, and that name also meant legless reptile, he would have suspected that the real world was very different from the plot!
He was full of admiration for this Transformation Jutsu.
It even bypassed his perception.
At this moment, Orochimaru's Chakra was completely different from when he encountered him before.
"..."
Orochimaru was speechless inside, but also found it interesting.
This guy's personality, at this moment, was not like a Ninja at all.
But to avoid trouble, he still pulled out a book from his body and handed it to him for an autograph.
"Just sign here. I didn't expect to meet you, so I'll have to make do."
The Village Hidden in the Sound team behind him frowned at the sight.
What's wrong with Lord Ibiki, why is he a fan of someone from Konoha?
Dos, Kin and the other Village Hidden in the Sound elites also frowned, not understanding what was going on with Lord Ibiki.
However, Dosu had some suspicions in his heart, but not knowing the truth, he could only swallow the words he wanted to say.
"make-out paradise? And the Super Collector's Edition?"
Satoru looked at the book, greatly surprised.
"What?"
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, hearing this, put down their pens and leaned over.
"It's actually real, you actually have the Super Collector's Edition make-out paradise, of which only ten copies were issued worldwide?"
"That's right, it has Lord Jiraiya's autograph here."
The two looked on with envy.
As adults, they had also read this best-selling book.
Although not as obsessed as Kakashi, they also liked it very much.
"This is a very coincidental thing; it was given to me by a very important friend of mine,
I'm afraid I cannot give it to the two of you."
Orochimaru said.
"You have good taste, to actually put me and Lord Jiraiya on the same level.
I wish your Village many more strong members."
Satoru, with a flourish of his pen, signed his name on it.
Orochimaru: "Thank you."
Then, after everyone behind him had registered, he led them to the hotel specially arranged by Konoha.
Watching the people from Village Hidden in the Sound depart, Kotetsu Hagane sighed: "Damn it, why don't I have such a good friend to give me a Super Collector's Edition!
Izumo, you're so disappointing, why don't you have one, sigh!"
"...Kotetsu, why is it that you don't have one? If you had one, wouldn't it be like I had one?
You too, as my best friend, you're disappointing!" Izumo Kamizuki was also not polite and retorted.
And Satoru, listening to their words, was secretly laughing in his heart.
Orochimaru is my fan too now.
I've signed an autograph for Orochimaru.
It feels much better than fighting him.
I wonder what Orochimaru's expression would be if he knew the truth.
However, there were quite a few Ninja from Village Hidden in the Sound... twelve just to participate in the Chunin Exams, more than he imagined.
Each of the Sannin is a good teacher in the Ninja World!
Their teaching ability is top-notch.
Thinking of him, Satoru, the students he personally trained... never mind, he wouldn't talk about it. Besides Inuzuka Kiba, who hadn't grown up yet, only Ibara Keisen was a Jonin.
He was truly defeated.
