Chapter 93: Clearing All Obstacles in the Path of Lord Yuto
Hearing Zabuza's voice, Suigetsu shrugged his shoulders, a look of helplessness on his face. "The two of us are being held up by four Konoha Ninja, right, Kimimaro."
After speaking, Suigetsu looked toward Kimimaro beside him, but Kimimaro still did not speak. "I knew it," Suigetsu sighed, holding his forehead.
Ringo Ameyuri, standing on a tree branch to one side, spoke softly, her pointed teeth involuntarily exposed. "Lord Yuto and Ranmaru have already gone ahead some time ago; we are late due to our cultivation training, so we need to speed up."
Looking at Ringo Ameyuri, Zabuza raised an eyebrow, a trace of excitement flashing in his eyes. "Oh, are you suggesting..."
"Directly break through!" Kimimaro, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Silence!
As Kimimaro spoke, the people present instantly quieted down, and all eyes focused entirely on Kimimaro. "Life itself holds no meaning, and the only reason people live is to search for the meaning of life."
"To clear all obstacles in the path of Lord Yuto is the meaning of my life now!" Kimimaro spoke in a detached tone, and simultaneously, he pushed slightly with his feet; his entire figure had already vanished from the spot, charging toward the front.
"Tch, what a troublesome brat."
After a moment, Zabuza stood up and looked in the direction of Konoha Village, his tone indicating dissatisfaction, yet his eyes gleamed with excitement. It was not only Zabuza; varying degrees of excitement also appeared on the faces of the others.
Houtarou, who was positioned near the edges of the group, stretched and glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, quietly muttering to himself. "As expected, I am still not suited to stay together with a group of fellows like this."
"That, are we not waiting for the Hidden Mist forces?" Haku asked softly, looking at Zabuza and the others.
"They are too slow, we will simply clear the path for them up ahead!" Zabuza let out a cold laugh; the next moment, his entire figure disappeared without a trace.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...
Accompanied by a series of sounds of rushing air, the figures of everyone present completely vanished.
As Kimimaro, Zabuza, and the others began to move, the official finals of the Konoha Chunin Exam had already commenced. Intense cheers echoed throughout the surroundings.
The massive stands were already full of people. The Third Hokage of Konoha and the Fourth Kazekage of the Hidden Sand were seated at the highest point of the entire stands.
"I did not expect the Kazekage to be able to come personally this time; you must be tired from the journey." Hiruzen looked at the Kazekage next to him and spoke with a slight smile.
"It is fortunate that this time it is held at the Konoha venue. If I had asked you to travel especially for the meeting, I imagine it would have been very exhausting for the Hokage. I suggest you decide upon a successor soon." Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, looked at Hiruzen, his voice containing a trace of coldness.
Hiruzen let out a hearty laugh, his face showing no sign of anger because of Orochimaru. "Do not treat me like an old man; I intend to keep going for another five years."
After speaking, Hiruzen stood up, walked to the edge of the stands, and announced loudly to the people present: "To all distinguished guests, I express my sincere thanks to all of you for coming to Konoha to observe the Chunin Selection Exam."
"Now, let the eight candidates who passed the preliminary round proceed with the formal selection matches!" Upon hearing the Third Hokage's address, the lively clamor and commotion once again erupted!
In a slightly secluded corner of the surrounding arena.
Ranmaru raised his head to look at the Third Hokage standing at the highest point, and after looking intently for a moment, he withdrew his gaze. "Lord Yuto, is that person our enemy? Should Ranmaru go over and kill that person right now?"
Hearing Ranmaru's words, Yuto revealed a trace of helplessness on his face, and reached out to stroke Ranmaru's little head. "If you go now, you will suffer a loss, and besides, someone is already dealing with that person."
Ranmaru nodded innocently, and spoke softly. "Haruna told Ranmaru not to do anything that would result in a loss."
Yuto raised an eyebrow. As expected, having Ranmaru stay with Haruna was not without benefit.
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the surroundings. In the battle center below, the first match had already begun: Naruto Uzumaki versus Neji Hyuga!
Excited cheers came from the surrounding stands. Being able to witness the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan in the very first match was definitely a competition worth watching for many people.
Yuto calmly looked down at the two people below, Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga, a look of interest flashing in his eyes. Yuto was quite interested in both Naruto and Neji.
To say nothing of Naruto Uzumaki, who was already part of Yuto's plan, Yuto naturally paid attention to matters concerning Naruto.
And the other person, Neji Hyuga! In Yuto's view, he was also a rare and talented fighter.
"To leave such a person in Konoha is truly a waste," Yuto commented to himself, looking at Neji Hyuga below.
"Lord Yuto, did you come here for these two people below?" Ranmaru glanced at the two people fighting below, a curious expression on his face.
"That's right, these two people might become our companions in the future, but they are still somewhat insufficient at the moment." Hearing Ranmaru's voice, Yuto nodded slightly.
Ranmaru's eyes lit up, and he quickly directed his gaze downwards. Anyone Lord Yuto cared about, Ranmaru cared about too.
At this moment, the battle below had also progressed to an intense stage.
"You guy! Why do you always come to conclusions so arbitrarily!" Looking at Neji Hyuga across from him, Naruto tightly clenched his fist.
"In that case, are you suggesting that anyone can become Hokage as long as they try hard?"
"Those who can truly become Hokage are few and far between. Face reality, that is not something you can become just by wishing." "This is destiny."
"Everyone must live on in a destiny that cannot be resisted. In this world, only one kind of destiny treats everyone equally—and that is death."
Neji Hyuga spoke with an indifferent expression and a cold voice. A faint trace of hatred was present in his white pupils.
In one of the stands located at the center of the arena, Hiashi Hyuga watched Neji Hyuga below, his eyebrows lightly furrowing involuntarily. "That look, is he still hating the Main House?"
Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat silent in his expression. Although he carried a measure of guilt in his heart, he had no other choice.
Because this is the clan; from the moment of birth, it is already decided who is the Main House and who is the Branch House.
