Chapter 76: Excellent Matchmaking Mechanism
"Sasuke, take off your clothes."
Kakashi's expression was solemn.
Who exactly was Orochimaru?
One of the legendary Sannin.
They were idols to countless people, and naturally, that included Kakashi.
He had grown up listening to their stories, and Jiraiya was his teacher's teacher.
Kakashi understood them better than other Ninjas.
Because he understood, he knew how troublesome this was.
Especially Orochimaru.
That dangerous and charming villainous character.
His personal charisma was beyond doubt.
Sasuke noticed his expression, and his small face also became solemn.
That beautiful loli was definitely a big shot.
Otherwise, Kakashi wouldn't be so on guard.
He took off his shirt.
"It really is a Cursed Seal."
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh; things had ultimately developed in the direction he least wanted to see.
Without a doubt, Orochimaru had his sights set on Sasuke.
Just like with Anko back then, this was definitely a dangerous situation.
"Teacher, who exactly is she?"
Sasuke couldn't help but ask.
"He is Orochimaru, who along with Jiraiya-sama and Lady Tsunade is known as the Sannin. He's the Hokage-sama's disciple and an S-rank rogue Ninja."
Kakashi said in a low tone.
He didn't hide it.
Since Orochimaru had targeted Sasuke, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
"...?"
Sasuke was a bit dazed.
He remembered that the legendary Orochimaruwas supposed to be a cold, handsome guy.
But why was the one he saw an extremely cute loli?
Was there a problem with the legends?
Seeing his expression, Kakashi thought he was scared and comforted him, saying, "It's okay. As long as Hokage-sama is here, Orochimaru won't dare to act recklessly in Konoha."
Found it!
The cause of Hiruzen Sarutobi's death!
The real culprit was you!
Naruto, who hadn't spoken on the side, couldn't help but look up.
Kakashi's face radiated intense confidence.
Is this the reason you stopped Guy from rescuing him?
My Hokage is invincible under heaven?
Sasuke nodded.
In his impression, the Hokage-sama was indeed the strongest.
So he didn't question Kakashi's words too much.
"Sit down, I'll help you temporarily seal this Cursed Seal."
Kakashi began drawing circles; tadpole-like characters covered the ground and Sasuke's body.
Naruto's perception spread out.
In the original work, Orochimaru appeared during this sealing, and after intimidating Kakashi, he left coolly.
A perfect illustration of 'pose and run'.
But he didn't detect any trace of Orochimaru.
It seemed he was very satisfied with Sasuke.
Naruto saw that the sealing was finished and left the room.
The three days' time couldn't be wasted.
He was teaching Karin Ninjutsu.
Because she was in the Grass Hidden Village, no one would ever be her teacher.
Except for her mother.
But her knowledge was limited.
However, Naruto didn't come away empty-handed either.
He had obtained Kagura Minds Eye and Adamantine Sealing Chains.
Well, the benefit was that he could use iron whips to lash Kurama at any time in the future.
Back then, even in a weakened state after giving birth, Kushina could use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to subdue Kurama.
So wouldn't it be even easier for him?
The sleeping Kurama suddenly shivered.
Why was there a sudden surge of intense malice?
But it came quickly and left just as fast.
It just treated it as an illusion.
A moment later, it fell back into dreamland.
"The gathered cries will become an arrow of echoes piercing the sky, becoming a shining path of light! Appear! Tailed Beast Ball!"
Naruto shook his head helplessly.
How could this guy be so chuunibyou even in its dreams?
In the future, when it comes out to fight Uchiha Madara and the others, does it plan to use chuunibyou lines to embarrass them to death?
It's over, it's all over, this terrible art style.
Naruto's goosebumps were already popping out.
Oh my god, luckily I didn't give the Magical Girlcard to Kurama.
Otherwise, the Ninja World would be doomed.
The Six Paths Sage's heart wouldn't be able to take such a blow either.
Three days passed in a flash.
Karin's crash course could only be described as mediocre.
Thinking of the tough guys who passed the second stage, Naruto planned to have her forfeit depending on the situation.
Anyway, for her, these Chunin Exams actually had no meaning.
The interior of the vast tower was like the Roman Colosseum of old.
The only difference was there were no seats for spectators.
When Naruto's team arrived, many people were already standing at the gathering point.
Besides the Genin taking the exam, there were also Konoha's Jonin.
Naruto scanned the crowd and saw Orochimaru, who had changed his face.
The Fool had spent some time with him and understood some of his habits, so he could see through his disguise.
Of course, that was provided Orochimaru wasn't deliberately hiding.
After Naruto received the memories, the experience was naturally all inherited.
Hinata subconsciously looked at him.
She had arrived late and hadn't greeted Naruto yet.
But there were too many people, and she was a bit too shy to step forward.
Further behind her.
Rock Lee looked at Naruto with eyes full of youthful passion.
His teammate Neji, however, rarely had his gaze linger on Hinata.
Lately, he had been dreaming about things from his childhood.
Hinata following behind him, calling him 'brother'.
The strangest thing was hearing a few lines of English popping out from nowhere every now and then.
"What exactly does 'Trace on' mean?"
Neji frowned.
It was as if something flashed through various parts of his body.
"Congratulations to everyone for passing the second test."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing his Hokage Robes, spoke with a smile, "But before the third stage begins, we have a preliminary round..."
Naruto suddenly thought of a problem.
Due to his influence, the Ninjas currently present were already very different from the original work.
For example, the addition of Karin.
This meant that the upcoming preliminary matches would not be the same as the ones in his memory.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's opening speech ended, and Captain Dragonfly—oh wait, the referee Gekkō Hayate appeared.
"*Cough, cough*, if anyone feels unwell, *cough, cough*, you can raise your hand to withdraw, *cough, cough*."
Coughing three times in one sentence.
Naruto was worried he would cough out his lungs.
And the most coincidental thing was that just like the groom in Stephen Chow's 'Hail the Judge', he had an extremely beautiful wife.
And both of them were short-lived.
Yakushi Kabuto raised his hand.
He was worried about blowing his cover.
Naruto only remembered this person when he saw him.
Mainly because the story of the legend of the white snake was too shocking, causing him to forget Yakushi Kabuto.
Damn, Auntie Snake led me astray.
"*Cough, cough*, is there anyone else who wants to withdraw?"
Gekkō Hayate's voice was as ethereal as someone who had gone seventeen times in one night.
After waiting for a dozen seconds, he said, "Now, we formally begin."
The large screen behind him began to scroll.
The excellent matchmaking mechanism was activated.
Hyuga Neji vs. Zaku.
Naruto let out a small 'eh'.
As expected, it was different.
Zaku came from Otogakure and had special devices installed in his body, specializing in long-range Decapitating Air Waves.
Neji stepped into the arena.
The onlookers on Konoha's side all had extreme confidence in him.
After all, he was the genius of the Hyuga Clan.
Zaku jumped in front of him, opened up some distance, and gas spewed from the black holes in his hands.
He began his infinite Decapitating Air Waves.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid.
He naturally knew the fame of the Gentle Fist.
So he planned to attack from a distance.
Neji didn't care at all.
It wasn't like the Gentle Fist didn't have long-range attacks.
But for some reason, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind at this moment.
If only I had a bow...
