After coming out of the open-air hall, Kabuto followed the route he remembered and returned to the hotel in a leisurely manner.
For a spy with multiple identities like him, he doesn't like to expose himself to unknown dangers.
Chiba Shiraishi, the military leader of the Kingdom of Demons, is a scary guy that even Orochimaru, who controls him behind the scenes, is reluctant to provoke.
Standing in front of that kind of existence, Kabuto always felt a sense of danger of being discovered. The feeling of being spied on all the time made Kabuto feel uncomfortable standing there.
It wasn't until he left the club that the strange feeling of being spied on slowly disappeared from his sensory world.
But in this way, my strength should not be noticed. Kabuto thought to himself.
Kabuto is still very confident in how to hide his true strength in this regard.
His method of hiding chakra is so special that even the Byakugan and Sensory Ninjutsu cannot distinguish it.
He was able to hide in Konoha for so many years without anyone noticing his identity as a spy, relying on this special hiding method that allowed him to perfectly protect himself from being noticed by the Byakugan and Sensory Ninjutsu.
Thinking of this, Kabuto felt relieved.
In any case, the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Ghosts should not have noticed a marginal figure like himself. As long as he is sure of that, his spy situation will be safe for the time being.
"You can relax now..."
Kabuto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
The last vacation I took was probably a few months ago.
As a spy with multiple identities, his vacation time is very rare. He has to deal with various confidential information every moment, and screen and classify it as appropriate. Which ones should be sent to Orochimaru, which ones Danzo needs, which ones can be covered up, and which ones can be reported...
This is very tedious and precise work.
This also caused his brain to act like a meticulous computer for a long time, working endlessly overtime...
Even he couldn't help but get tired of this repetitive work.
So next, Kabuto doesn't plan to do anything more attention-grabbing.
He needs to relax his nerves and be fully prepared for the next mission.
However, before the next important operation begins, it is very likely that by that time, I will no longer need to be in Konoha Village.
The game of pretending to be drinking with the Konoha ninjas is almost over.
While he was thinking this, Kabuto suddenly felt a sting in his ears.
Then he slowly took off the glasses on his face.
"Is it already like this? It seems it needs some repairs."
Kabuto looked at the scratches on the lenses. The paint on the frames began to peel off. Just now, some of the paint on the frames had peeled off, rubbing against his ears, causing him to feel a slight tingling sensation.
Judging from the various repair marks left on the glasses, this pair of glasses looks very old. If you didn't pay attention to maintenance, you should have eliminated them and replaced them with new glasses.
Kabuto sighed deeply.
To others, they would only think of him as a frugal ninja who would not replace an item with a new one unless it was so worn out that it could no longer be used.
But to him, this pair of glasses is often more than just a pair of glasses.
In his mind, this pair of glasses represents a kind of longing and extravagant hope.
A memory.
Every time he picked up this pair of glasses, a gentle and gentle face would naturally appear in his mind. That was the first time he realized what warmth is and what maternal love is...
Or perhaps, this is the only thing he can be sure of that makes his existence meaningful and tied to it.
You can find your true self from it.
But what followed was heart-wrenching pain, as well as infinite anger and hatred for Danzo.
When he couldn't calm down for a long time, a figure passed by him quickly.
For some reason, Kabuto smelled a familiar scent, a kind of loving warmth.
This kind of loving warmth was something Orochimaru had never given him, and it belonged exclusively to the beautiful memories of his childhood.
Kabuto turned his head subconsciously and looked at the woman who was walking forward with her back to him.
The other party was wearing a red and white miko uniform and a white hood on her head. Her face and hair were completely hidden under the hood, so her true appearance could not be seen.
A wandering witch from the land of ghosts? These guys are also very troublesome, like cowhide plaster, they are everywhere. Kabuto calmed down his inner rage and calmed down quickly.
Although the wandering witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts are not, strictly speaking, engaged in espionage work, but are staff responsible for maintaining medical and information transmission in various regions, and ultimately report to the military headquarters of the Kingdom of Ghosts on a regular basis.
However, because this group holds a large amount of intelligence, for those engaged in espionage work, if they are not careful to hide themselves, they will easily be targeted and become prey in their eyes.
Working as an intelligence worker in the name of practicing medicine and working part-time as a corpse processor are what wandering witches often do.
If they are regarded as doctors who hang their pots to save the world, they will definitely suffer a lot.
However, the aura that this miko gave him just now... was it an illusion?
That's right, how could that kind of aura appear on a witch from the land of ghosts?
That woman is already dead.
Although they were all 'witches', the person he respected in his heart was just a pitiful woman who had to pick up the knife in grief and anger again for the sake of the children in the orphanage, and was constantly being teased by fate in troubled times.
Because of my compassion, I missed the best opportunity for treatment.
When he returned, he had already disappeared.
Later I heard that it was recycled by the people at the root.
The corpse is still kept in the deepest base of the root, hidden from the light of day.
Just like her life, darkness is her final destination, whether in life or after death.
Are you feeling uneasy because you are about to leave Konoha? That's not my style at all. Kabuto shook his head mockingly.
Then, he withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward, no longer paying attention to the miko who passed him just now.
Kaguya Kimimaro (Mist) VS Yamanaka Ino (Konoha)
The names of the candidates who were about to compete appeared on the electronic screen.
"It's your turn, Kimimaro."
The guiding jounin of Kirigakure Village is a man in his twenties with a bandage on his face and a forehead protector deliberately crooked.
His skin is slightly dark, he is tall and muscular, and his arms and legs are extremely muscular. Behind his back is a decapitation knife that is more than two meters tall.
The gaze in his eyes was very cold, and just one look at it made people shudder.
This instructor is also scary and has no eyebrows. He is such a strange person. Naruto looked at the guidance jounin of Kirigakure Village with curiosity in his eyes.
The Kirigakure jounin also noticed the gazes of the people around him, but ignored them and instead said to the genin next to him.
"knew."
The Kirigakure genin named Kimimaro nodded.
He has very rare long white hair, green pupils, and two red dots between his eyebrows, making his gender look more neutral and soft.
The upper body is a loose gray gown and the lower body is black leggings. It looks a bit weak and will fall over if the wind blows.
Glancing at his opponent, Kimimaro quickly looked away. His face was neither sad nor happy, showing a very calm attitude, or perhaps a lack of emotion. He calmly walked down the observation deck and stood next to him. Fight your opponents on the center stage.
"Speaking of which, Kirigakure, what's behind you is a decapitating sword, right?"
Asuma seemed to find the decapitating sword on the back of the Kirigakure Jonin very familiar, and Asuma locked eyes with it.
"Why, do you also know the name of this broadsword?"
When the Kirigakure jounin saw Asuma recognizing the decapitating sword behind him, his eyes narrowed, giving people a colder feeling, as if he would not be shaken no matter what he encountered.
"But, I heard that the owner of the decapitating sword should be the Jounin of Kirigakure Village, Loquat Juzo."
Hong on the side also spoke.
She looked at the Kirigakure Jōnin in front of her, and she couldn't see that he was not the Loquat Juzo.
"Haha, that guy was defeated by Mr. Zabuza, so now Mr. Zabuza is the new master of the beheading sword. He said he wanted to teach young people a lesson, but ended up accidentally doing it himself. It's really shameful. "
Before the Kirigakure jounin could answer, one of his genin students couldn't help but interrupt.
This genin had white hair, purple eyes, and sharp teeth. After laughing, he drank from a water bottle.
"Zabuza? That demon Zabuza? I've really admired your name for a long time. I didn't expect you to become a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
Although there is no information about Kirigakure Village, Asuma and others still know some of the outstanding jounin in Kirigakure Village.
Especially ninjas like Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, focus on the target.
"It's a great honor for everyone in Konoha to know my name."
Zabuza was also very useful for this, everyone had vanity, even him was no exception.
As a spice in life, this is quite enjoyable for him.
"What are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"
Naruto asked this question stupidly, leaving everyone speechless.
"Naruto."
Kakashi looked over with a smile.
"What's going on, Kakashi-sensei?"
Seeing Kakashi smile like this, Naruto suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Go back and copy the book on basic ninja knowledge ten times. Thank you for asking such a boring question. It seems that I have been too lax in teaching you common sense these days."
Kakashi said.
"But, if you don't know, you just don't know. I don't have time to deal with things other than cultivation."
Naruto looked like his time was precious.
Kakashi looked defeated by Naruto.
Sakura said: "The so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen refer to the seven powerful ninjas of Kirigakure Village. It is said that the Kirigakure ninjas who can hold this title are all good with swords and can destroy Kirigakure Village. He is a very famous ninja in the world because he can use the seven swords passed down from generation to generation with ease."
However, due to the closed management method of Kirigakure Village, outsiders are not very well informed about the updates and iterations of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
For example, as Sakura knows, the owner of the decapitating sword among the seven ninja swords should be a Kirigakure elite jonin named Loquat Juzo.
But now it fell into the hands of other Kirigakure ninjas... If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone might not have known that the seven members of Kirigakure's ninja swords had begun to exchange blood.
"Is that so?"
Naruto nodded in understanding. Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, it was enough to know that they were seven powerful ninjas. His mind couldn't remember things that were too complicated.
While they were communicating, the two contestants on the stage were already in place, standing facing each other.
Compared to Kimimaro's calmness, Ino's expression was a bit nervous. Her intuition told her that the handsome guy with a neutral appearance in front of her was not a simple ninja.
The huge amount of chakra in the opponent's body was much greater than his own, and it was not at all the level that a genin should be.
The lower limit and upper limit of a ninja can be seen from the amount of chakra.
Fighting with such a ninja must be done quickly, with one move deciding the outcome.
Thinking of the characteristics of his ninjutsu, Ino felt a little at ease.
As long as she catches the air attack for a moment, she will win the battle.
It only takes a moment.
"Are you two ready?"
Onigashima Ninja asked.
Kimimaro nodded.
Ino also nodded solemnly, his eyes alert.
Normally she would have struck up a conversation with such a handsome guy, but now it was an important exam period, so all she could do was say sorry.
"Then, let's get started."
Onigashima Shinobu gave an order, and Ino immediately started to move his hands, making a weird seal. His hands seemed to be arranged like a camera, locking Kimimaro's body from the center.
"Heart turns around"
Without any warning, Kimimaro's body disappeared from her eyes.
When Ino reacted, a figure suddenly rushed in front of her. Before she could use the ninjutsu, the other person pressed a palm directly on her abdomen.
boom!
Ino's mind went blank. While vomiting blood, he flew backwards and rolled to the edge of the stage before he could stop and stop sliding.
Looking at Ino who fell to the ground and had completely passed out, Onigashima Shinobu took a breath and announced:
"The winner is Kaguya Kimimaro."
There were no surprises or any extreme fighting.
The opponent just charges straight up, and then strikes out with an ordinary palm, ending the battle.
The total combat duration is no more than three seconds.
The speed Kimimaro showed even surprised him, a Jonin.
For a genin, this is a very impressive movement speed.
As long as the opponent's mobility cannot keep up with his pace, the opponent will become his living target.
"No, that Ino, who has always been nervous, was defeated all at once..."
Shikamaru looked at Ino who was instantly defeated in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.
"There is no way, the opponent is too strong. Without Shikamaru's secret technique, the power of Ino's ninjutsu can be said to be greatly reduced."
Choji said while eating potato chips.
Like his doubling secret technique, Ino's secret technique is also a technique that starts slowly but has excellent actual combat effects.
But the problem is that it starts slowly.
As long as the opponent's speed is slightly faster, it will be difficult for Ino to catch the opponent's traces alone, and he will become a living target in the eyes of others.
Because others will not just stand there stupidly and let the secret arts attack.
That's why Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique is so important.
Any one of the three secret techniques of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Clan has fatal flaws, but after complementing each other,
These weaknesses will all be eliminated, and produce a terrible effect where one plus one plus one is far greater than three.
Letting them, who already focus on the team, engage in one-on-one combat would completely expose the weaknesses of their ninjutsu, and their attack patterns would be easy to see through.
"That's it, that guy's speed is too fast, and my ninjutsu can't catch him."
Shikamaru was troubled.
Why are there so many monsters appearing in this Chunin Exam?
He knew very well that even if he were to play, he would probably end up like Ino.
When the difference in strength reaches a certain level, the so-called strategy has no place to use.
The others also looked cautious. Kimimaro was very fast, too fast for a genin. And according to the other party's casual expression, this speed is not his limit.
"Are you a ninja who is good at taijutsu like me?"
Xiao Li's face was solemn, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
The speed shown by the other party was no different from his normal speed, and was even one point faster.
Without a lot of physical training, it would be impossible to have such a fast speed.
Xiao Li is looking forward to a battle with the opponent.
"Is it the Kaguya clan? He is really sharp and straightforward in taijutsu. His strength may have reached the level of a jounin. It seems that Kirigakure also has a good talent."
In the audience, Shiraishi looked at Kimimaro who was walking back to the observation deck, thoughtfully.
"A few years ago, he was able to reach this level only by using the ability of the blood successor. It seems that his physical skills have become more refined in the past few years."
Kazuji, who was sitting in the audience at the back, said.
She once studied abroad under a pseudonym in Kirigakure Village. Kimimaro was one of her teammates at the time, so she knew the opponent's strength very well.
Bai Shi was about to say something when suddenly there were footsteps nearby and he turned his head.
It was Liuli and Ayane who came over.
After finishing the matters at hand, the two of them arrived belatedly.
"You are here."
"How about it, Shiraishi-kun, we shouldn't have missed the match between Sai and Asuka."
Ayane smoothed her hair and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's not their turn yet. But if you come a little later, you might miss their game."
Shiraishi turned his head, looked at the field again, and pointed at the electronic screen that changed again.
Aya Chiba (Ghost) VS Akimichi Choji (Konoha)
"Well, it seems it's just the right time. After all, as a mother, it's a bit unreasonable not to come to watch your child's game."
Ayane sat down next to Shiraishi, while Liuli walked to the other side and sat down, sandwiching Shiraishi in between. His eyes stopped for a moment on Kai on the opposite observation deck, nodded to him, and then turned back to the arena.
Shiraishi was sandwiched between the two. The surrounding Jōnin from the Kingdom of Demons, including Uchiha Yan, silently moved two or three seats away and sat down again, as if they were afraid of causing harm to Chiyu.
Feeling the unspeakable dull atmosphere, the smile on Shiraishi's face was a little forced.
Yi Ji was still sitting in the back, showing a devilish smile, her eyes seemed to be cheering, as if she was saying something like "Let's fight, let's fight."
"Old man, you must be very happy now."
Bai Shi's face turned dark.
This little cotton-padded jacket not only doesn't keep you warm, it also leaks air.
"A descendant of the Akimichi clan? It seems things will be a little tricky."
Liuli said at this time.
As the Akimichi clan among the three pig, deer, and butterfly clans, they have always been famous for their offensive abilities among the three clans.
The secret technique is a doubling technique, which can greatly increase one's own destructive power.
When you practice to an advanced level, you can turn yourself into a large psychic beast, rampage on the battlefield, and become invincible.
Ruri, who had fought against Akimichi Tifeng, a disciple of the Second Hokage, was deeply impressed by this.
With the help of the doubling technique, the opponent was once able to compete with the four-tailed Nine-Tails, although in the end he was at a disadvantage.
But it also shows the merits of the doubling technique.
A ninja from the Akimichi clan, he is the strongest attacker in the Inorakacho lineup.
Ayane did not make any comment on this. Her attention was not on the genin of the Akimichi clan, or her own son, but on one of the white-eyed ninjas in the Metkai team - Ichigo Neji.
Ayane couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's wrong?"
Shiraishi asked in confusion.
Ayane coughed, straightened her face and smiled: "It's nothing, I just happened to see a caged bird looking pitifully at the sky."
Shiraishi didn't say anything to this and focused on the next game.
"It's your turn, Choji. Your opponent is a ninja from the Kingdom of Demons. Don't be careless."
Shikamaru said, patting Choji on the shoulder.
Ino had been taken away for treatment by the medical ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts and did not appear here.
"That's right, if you can win this game, Chouji, let's go have a luxurious barbecue dinner tonight. By the way, the barbecue here is rich in variety and extremely delicious."
Asma also smiled and said, knowing how to encourage her students.
BBQ! Dingji's nostrils suddenly spurted out white air, and he felt extremely excited.
So much so that only the word "barbecue" remained in his mind.
Is the opponent a fat guy? With that size, it would be very troublesome to get hit if you were to use the Multiplication Technique. Cai observed Choji's body shape and knew that it was the body shape that the Akimichi clan maintained specially in order to ensure the power of the secret technique.
A very vivid comparison was made.
The premise is not to be hit by the opponent.
No matter how powerful the attack is, it is meaningless as long as it misses.
"Brother Asuka, Xianglin, I'm on the stage."
Cai said something and walked towards the competitive stage.
"Bon Voyage."
The flying birds' congratulatory words came.
"I went too, for the barbecue."
Choci also quickly got off the observation deck with excitement, and walked to the competition stage almost simultaneously with Cai.
This is a very rare move for a fat man who hates exercise to take such drastic action.
Seeing the two of them taking up their positions, Onigashima Ninja glanced around and announced as usual: "The game has begun."
Boom!
The moment the first two words fell to the ground, Sai immediately ran and rushed towards Chouji.
Choji didn't hesitate. When he stood on the stage, he began to concentrate his chakra.
Therefore, at the same moment, the body suddenly expanded and turned into a huge meat ball. The limbs were retracted into the sleeves, facing Cai's body, and rolling with strong force on the stone slab at high speed.
Wherever it passed, the stone slabs let out a terrifying whine and were crushed into powder.
The rolling meat ball has the destructive power to easily crush rocks.
If you touch it directly, your fingers will become useless.
Sai's Byakugan observed that Choji's body contained an amazing amount of chakra. The nature of this chakra,
It is Yang-type chakra that can greatly improve physical abilities.
This is the essence of the Akimichi clan's doubling secret technique.
It is a secret technique developed by refining high-concentration yang chakra and exercising it.
Direct confrontation is not a wise move.
Cai kicked the ground hard, leaped up, and let the huge rolling meat ball hit the air.
Then he turned his body and waved his palms towards the ground.
"Bagua Kongzhang!"
The terrifying invisible impact struck directly from above and hit the huge meat ball rolling away.
puff!
Like a deflated rubber ball, the speed of the rolling meat ball dropped sharply. Choji rolled out in embarrassment and was forced to release the meat ball state.
"This guy…"
Choji was filled with disbelief when he saw his current state.
But he didn't have time to think about the principle of his opponent's moves, because after Cai released his meat ball state,
He landed quickly and started running towards him again.
He ran so fast that there was a roaring sound in the air.
So fast! Dingji didn't dare to be careless and concentrated his chakra again.
"Doubling Technique!"
boom!
Choji's size instantly increased, cracking the floor under his feet, and his height directly reached a height of three or four meters. Compared with Aya, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, Choji now seems to be a strong figure. Giants.
"For the barbecue!"
Choji's face became exaggeratedly distorted. It can be imagined that doubling it to this extent is also a burden for him.
However, Choji did not stop the trend of expansion and continued to expand his body further.
This hasn't reached his limit yet.
Seeing this, Cai's eyes became sharp, and her gaze was like a blade, piercing Chou's body, which was rapidly growing in size.
"That guy Choji actually takes the initiative to fight!"
Naruto stared in surprise at Choji who was excited to fight, feeling like he got to know Choji all over again.
In his impression, Choci has always been a fat man who doesn't like sports and is always lazy.
This is the first time I have seen such active fighting.
"This is the charm of barbecue. The calories consumed can be replenished later."
Shikamaru said with a smile.
"What a youth, Choji."
Asuma also had a happy smile on her face.
boom!
When everyone at the observation deck thought there would be a close and passionate battle, there was a sudden explosion.
It made everyone's ears tremble, and their bodies began to tremble violently.
No, it was not that the body was shaking, but the ground shook for a moment, making them mistakenly think that their bodies were shaking.
The stage was instantly covered in smoke and dust from the explosion, and a large amount of gravel flew out.
A huge figure four to five meters high, covered in dust and gravel, flew out from the stage and landed hard on the audience seat, creating a big crater there.
"Fa, what happened?"
Everyone looked at Dingji who flew backwards in shock. They thought that what followed would be a very exciting and passionate battle. Unexpectedly, when Dingji started to attack, the battle came to an abrupt end, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Cai's small figure emerged from the smoke, her body unscathed except for some dust on her face.
Byakugan also returned to normal, staring at Choji who fell in the pit and was seriously injured.
"I always feel that letting you use that move will make the situation very difficult. Unfortunately, your starting move is too long..."
On the observation deck, Shikamaru's smile froze on his face. He couldn't believe that Choji in that state would be knocked away with a single blow.
Such a huge body can be easily knocked away by someone. How terrible strength is required.
No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a powerful ninja.
"His chakra burst out from his palm in a very short period of time... What happened to his soft fist?"
Neji frowned.
It was obviously a soft fist fighting stance, but the last move was inconsistent with the traditional soft fist image. Instead, it looked more like a powerful and domineering steel fist attack.
It was like thunder detonating instantly, erupting with power that made the earth tremble.
