"Chunin Exams?"

Samui was indeed somewhat looking forward to Uchiha Kage teaching her the secret Lightning Release techniques.

But what she didn't expect was that he not only taught her the key, but also gave her the opportunity to go to the Konoha Chunin Exams exam hall with him.

"What? Don't want to go?"

Uchiha Kage stimulated Samui's acupuncture points with Lightning Release chakra, mentioning he would visit the Chunin Exam arena later.

"No… I… ungh…"

Her whole body trembled from the stimulation of the Lightning Release chakra, but Samui could indeed feel her body becoming more vibrant under this stimulation.

This was the Lightning Release Chakra Mode she had painstakingly trained for.

"I said I would help you, and I won't break my word."

Saying she wanted to kill him was the same. She would definitely do it!

"However, how do you know my acupuncture points so accurately?"

He could also keep the needle-like Lightning Release chakra circulating throughout her body without causing any damage.

Even with a thorough understanding of human acupuncture points, no one could be so precise.

"Because I have the Byakugan. I can see all your chakra points, no matter where they are."

Hmph … how could an Uchiha have the Byakugan…

He clearly had black eyes, yet he lied to her about having the Byakugan.

If he didn't want to tell her, fine, but he was using a lie that even a child could see through to brush her off.

"Alright, every night before you go to sleep, I will help you stimulate your acupuncture points. When you have memorized my technique, you will be able to skillfully activate the Lightning Release Chakra Mode like me."

"Got it…"

If only this guy wouldn't grope her when assisting her training …

However, no matter what, don't expect her to thank him!

Samui put on her clothes after the training.

She added a piece of cloth as a string to the bra with the broken back clasp and put it back on.

There was no way around it. This stingy Uchiha little kid never thought of preparing a few more sets of underwear for her.

She could only be thrifty like this.

"But, aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I learn it?"

After learning the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, theoretically, her speed could be comparable to the Fourth Raikage. If she ambushed him, she might be able to kill this hateful guy.

"You might not be able to kill me even in your dreams, but I won't discourage your confidence. Train hard, and then serve me well."

After admiring the female ninja tying the ribbon on her back and hiding her graceful figure under the black Anbu uniform, Uchiha Kage took her out of the house.

It was time to carry out the security mission Sarutobi Hiruzen had given him.

"Even if you're not afraid of me killing you, aren't you afraid that I will just run away like this?"

She remembered that the Konoha Death Forest was quite large. It might not be too difficult to escape…

But as soon as she said that, Samui realized her foolishness.

Her younger brother and several disciples were in Uchiha Kage's hands. How could she dare to escape?

"Yiyi, don't get any bright ideas. Be my obedient female slave, and I won't mistreat you. In the future, I might even teach you more ninjutsu."

"Don't… don't call me that!! One day I will kill you!"

No matter how powerful this guy was, he was still just a teenager, so arrogant.

He was actually letting his enemy become stronger. Sooner or later, he would suffer the consequences!

Samui thought angrily in her heart.

---

"Hiashi, did you see anything?"

The second stage of the Chunin Exams was almost at the elimination round.

Seeing the 'Fourth Kazekage' walk out of the post station to watch the match, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly followed.

Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha should be during the final exhibition match. There was not much time left to stop Orochimaru's actions.

He must bring his traitorous disciple Orochimaru back into the glorious embrace of his teacher as soon as possible.

But before that, he needed to be certain this 'Fourth Kazekage' was Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama, I can confirm that it is not the Kazekage, but he is also not…"

Because the Third Hokage said that the Fourth Kazekage who came to the village might be Orochimaru in disguise, Hyuga Hiashi quickly and secretly opened his Byakugan to investigate.

As a ninja who had pursued Orochimaru before, he was quite familiar with Orochimaru's chakra.

But the 'Fourth Kazekage' in front of him was definitely not Orochimaru, and it was unlikely to be the Kazekage either.

"Isn't?"

Not Orochimaru?

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the 'Fourth Kazekage' not far away. Indeed, the feeling this chakra gave him was nothing like his cold and gloomy disciple.

Hmph, is this Kazekage now disguised by Orochimaru's subordinates?

Then where did the real Orochimaru go now?

Danzo, Uchiha Itachi, Death Forest…

All of these people and places that Orochimaru would come into contact with seemed possible.

"Hokage-sama, is Asuma doing special training recently?"

On the viewing platform of the elimination round, several Konoha Jonin had also arrived here to wait for their respective disciples who had passed the Death Forest test.

And the cautious Hyuga Hiashi also scanned these people after opening his Byakugan.

What he didn't expect was that he actually saw an unusual chakra in Sarutobi Asuma's head.

"What do you mean!?"

This sudden sentence immediately stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous thoughts and turned his attention to his son Sarutobi Asuma.

"It's like this…"

Hyuga Hiashi told the Hokage-sama what he had seen through the Byakugan.

And euphemistically said that if he was not undergoing ninjutsu training, Sarutobi Asuma was likely to have been controlled by an Illusionary Technique.

And it was a very powerful Illusionary Technique.

"There's such a thing!?"

The matter of Danzo and Uchiha Itachi had not been clarified yet, and now even his son…

Could it be that Sarutobi Asuma's recent quarrels with him were all because he was under someone else's Illusionary Technique?

"It's not 100% certain, but…"

There was definitely a problem.

Hyuga Hiashi was also very surprised by his discovery.

A Jonin in the village was actually being controlled…

Who could have done this?

"Go call the Intelligence Unit… Forget it, I'll go to the resting room myself. You let Sarutobi Asuma come to see me alone."

Family scandals should not be publicized. It was better for him to handle this matter himself.

As a ninjutsu doctor, although he was not as specialized in people's brains as the Yamanaka clan's secret technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen had his own set of methods to identify Illusionary Techniques.

"Yes!"

---

Without mentioning what sudden situation Sarutobi Hiruzen encountered.

Uchiha Kage, who brought Samui to the Death Forest exam hall, also encountered someone he didn't want to meet.

"Squad Leader-san, why didn't you tell me about the mission arranged by Hokage-sama?"

Sai, who had also come to the Death Forest, was waiting for Uchiha Kage to bring him along.

"I didn't tell you, but you knew about it anyway? It seems your news is very well-informed."

Uchiha Kage really didn't like this squinting guy.

Even if he couldn't see the other person's face every time, he could still imagine the disgusting fake smile that must be on his face.

"I am also following Hokage-sama's orders. Squad Leader-san, please don't wrong me."

Sai was shocked. His words almost slipped up.

But fortunately, as long as he claimed that Hokage-sama personally ordered it, this young Squad Leader-san would not be able to verify the truth of his words.

However, this teenager, who was about the same age as him, showed a completely different personality from when he was in front of Hokage-sama.

Sai even vaguely felt the killing intent coming from Uchiha Kage.

"Moreover, this is our squad's first mission. Doesn't Squad Leader want to bring me, his subordinate?"

While slightly lowering his posture, Sai curiously looked at the female ninja next to Uchiha Kage who was also wearing an Anbu Mask.

"Also, is this big sister a new recruit? Can Squad Leader-san introduce her?"

After saying so much, Sai thought that Uchiha Kage would respond with a few kind words, and then everyone would just get by and continue to carry out the mission.

But he didn't expect that the young Uchiha boy would not say a word, but just look at him with a playful expression.

"Heh."

He even made a sneering sound that made him a little nervous.

"You're just a trainee who hasn't been in the Anbu for long, but you can keep track of my, the Squad Leader's, whereabouts at any time? You're even ordering Hokage-sama around?"

"I…"

Damn it, this guy wasn't playing by the rules. He actually insisted that he was lying?

Sai was really sweating now.

But soon, he felt that he was overthinking it.

"What evidence does Squad Leader have for saying that?"

Just an Uchiha who hasn't awakened his Sharingan, even if he has some strength, he won't be stronger than him, an elite of Root.

So what if he knew he was lying? Was there any evidence?

What could he do to him?

"You can't tell your own identity anymore? You dare to question me?"

Uchiha Kage moved his gaze from Sai to Samui next to him.

"Go break the limbs of this disobedient guy and let him get to know you, his new teammate."

He originally planned to deal with Sai later, but he didn't expect him to jump out.

Uchiha Kage had no choice but to clean him up along the way.

"Are you sure?"

Samui had been feeling quite suppressed recently. She was being messed with by this guy every day, and she really wanted to find a place to vent her anger.

"Hokage-sama told me that we are all comrades from the same village, so we can't go too far."

Uchiha Kage said pretentiously while whispering in Samui's ear.

"As long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want. But if you can't even beat him, don't even think about coming out to help me in the future."

"Are you looking down on me?"

The Jonin of their Kumogakure Village were no worse than those of Konoha. She couldn't possibly lose to a teenager at Chunin-level.

However, in order to show her value, Samui cautiously and without reservation took out her ninja sword.

She didn't want to go back to the cell where she was being assaulted by someone day and night!

"Hey, Squad Leader-san, casually attacking comrades in the village, Hokage-sama will…"

How could this Uchiha Kage be even more casual than the way they did things in Root?

If a few words were not right, he would directly attack?

Wasn't this guy afraid that he would report him to Hokage-sama?

Although Sai was prepared to fight two against one, he was still ashamed of Uchiha Kage's personality of attacking as soon as he said he would.

"It's just disciplining a disobedient subordinate. How could Hokage-sama care about such a small matter?"

He just happened to have badmouthed him in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in advance.

Uchiha Kage wasn't worried.

As long as he didn't kill him, it would be fine.

"Go ahead, Yiyi. Let me see the results of your training."

"Don't call me by that name!"

This bastard!

She would kill him sooner or later!

But now…

She would use this Konoha Ninja as a practice opponent first!

Samui transferred all her resentment towards Uchiha Kage to this Konoha Anbu wearing a mask.

And Sai, who had previously thought that he would not be at a disadvantage even if he fought two against one, soon tasted the bitter fruit because of Samui's amazing speed.

Pfft…

If it wasn't for the extreme reaction he had been trained to have from the pile of dead people, he might have been pierced through the heart by this female ninja the moment they met.

But even if he dodged the first attack, Samui's shoulder was cut with a deep wound.

How could this be? This newcomer actually had body art comparable to a Jonin, or even faster than a normal Jonin?

The calmness on Sai's face could no longer be maintained.

Even his subordinates were so powerful, what would Uchiha Kage's strength be like?

---

"Shika… Shikamaru, did you… did you hear any sounds?"

In the perilous Death Forest.

There were also more dangerous ninjas from all walks of life.

Yamanaka Ino was as frightened as a frightened deer here, and could only hold up tree branches for camouflage with Shikamaru and Choji, lurking in the bushes.

"I heard it."

Seriously, the ninjas in this Chunin Exams were too strong, right?

One playing with sand was killing people everywhere he went.

One with Sharingan was also robbing people everywhere he went.

If they weren't Konoha Ninja, they would have been easily solved by Sasuke.

Shikamaru was also very depressed.

If he had known it would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have come to participate in the Chunin Exams.

"The potato chips are finished. What should we do next…"

Choji also sighed beside him.

"What time is it? You're still thinking about eating… I hear this sound, it seems like it's coming to us soon. Should we run?"

Ino asked Shikamaru.

"Let's hide. Maybe they won't find us."

Listening to the movement not far away, Shikamaru judged that the person coming was likely a speed-type ninja. Rashly coming out of the grass would only make them die faster.

It was better to continue squatting in the grass like salted fish.

Moreover, hiding in the dark might allow them to ambush the other party later.

Although the three of them were not very strong at the moment, if they could cooperate, they could still do something.

"They're coming…"

Lowering his voice even more, Shikamaru reminded his two companions.

Woo … if Kage was here, that would be great…

Listening to the increasingly closer sound of swords and kunai colliding, Ino couldn't help but shiver.

The scene of the Sand Village ninja who played with sand cruelly killing ninjas from other villages was still vivid in her mind.

No, even if she died, she wanted to die beautifully.

She didn't want to become a rag that was squeezed with blood and flesh!

---

Ninja Art: Super Beast Caricature!

Sai, who had been injured in many places, finally found a chance to use his unique ninjutsu.

First, he summoned two paper warriors from the painting scroll to contain the enemy in front of him. Then, Sai quickly drew an eagle on the scroll.

If he could fly into the sky, he would be able to avoid the female ninja's pursuit.

Then he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Hmph!"

What a tough little brat to kill.

Are all Konoha brats this troublesome?

Looking at the Konoha Ninja who had been stabbed in several places but could still insist on moving, Samui couldn't help but become more and more annoyed.

She was a Jonin, but she didn't manage to knock down the other party with one blow, and even let the other party escape for so long.

It was really too embarrassing.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Samui decided not to hold back anymore.

He didn't want her to kill, but she insisted on killing. Anyway, the one with a headache was him, not her.

Thinking of this, Samui increased her speed again, easily passing through the paper warriors summoned by Sai like a blue lightning bolt. Then, with one blow, she cut off the eagle that was about to flap its wings out of the painting.

At the same time, she also cut off the scroll that Sai had placed on the ground.

"What…"

Could this woman's speed be increased again?

Sai completely failed to capture the other party's movements this time. Before he could take out a new scroll, he was heavily pierced through the chest by the other party, and then kicked into the bushes.

"Hmm!? There are other people?"

Samui followed the ninja she had pierced through to the vicinity of the bushes, and then saw three Konoha Genin rushing out from inside.

"You are… Konoha Anbu?"

Shikamaru, who originally planned to ambush the person, saw the other party's attire.

He didn't seem to be a ninja or enemy from another village?

"This… shadow?"

Was it Konoha's Secret Technique?

Just as Samui was about to move her feet, she found that her feet seemed to be tied up by a group of shadows that had stretched over.

She couldn't move for the time being.

"Ah! Why is this person a piece of paper!"

Ino, who was next to him, looked at the corpse full of blood that was flying over, and before she could scream, she saw that the corpse suddenly turned into a piece of torn white paper.

"Not good, it's a clone!"

After seeing Sai's body disappear, Samui immediately realized that something was wrong.

"What good luck!"

Seeing that the female ninja who was chasing him was actually trapped by other people, Sai certainly wouldn't let go of this good opportunity.

Ninja Art: Serpentine Strike!

Boom!

After a cloud of white smoke.

Countless white paper snakes turned into entities under the effect of chakra, and rushed towards Samui and others from the grass with their bloody mouths open.

"Damn it!"

This shadow was actually so tightly entangled…

Samui was really a little unable to break free for a while.

However, with just this kind of ninjutsu, don't even think about dealing with her…

Although her feet couldn't move, Samui's hands could already break free and form Hand Seals.

"It's too chaotic!"

She was actually about to break through my Shadow Imitation Jutsu so quickly. This was definitely not the level of a Genin…

And that Anbu who was knocked down earlier was attacking all of them indiscriminately.

Could it be that these two guys wearing Konoha Anbu outfits were both enemies?

Shikamaru didn't understand the current situation, but looking at the female Anbu who was about to break free from her restraints, and the white python that was about to come to the top of their heads, he quickly released the Shadow Binding Technique and rolled to the side with Choji.

Ino was a little farther away and should be able to run by herself… right?

"Ah!"

But what Shikamaru didn't expect was that Ino was too afraid of snakes and was too frightened to move.

"Ino…"

She would be bitten by the indiscriminately attacking python if this continued!

Shikamaru quickly used his shadow again.

But it was still too late.

Boom!

The python with its bloody mouth bit down fiercely on the ground.

"Huh?"

When the smoke cleared, the scene of Ino, who was cowering in the same place, being bitten by the giant snake did not appear.

There were only a few pieces of shredded paper and a big hole smashed out by the python on the grass.

"Ugh…"

Opening her eyes, Ino, who thought she was about to be swallowed by the giant snake, found herself in a warm embrace.

"Are you okay?"

"I… you, you are?"

After realizing that she was being held in the arms of a man, Ino instinctively wanted to leave the other party's body.

But after hearing this familiar voice and smelling the familiar aura on the other party's body, Ino stopped her movements.

"Kage!?"

Ino reached out and took off the Anbu Mask on the person's face, and then, as expected, she saw Uchiha Kage's face under the mask.

"It really is you. I knew you would come to save me!"

The delighted Ino quickly hugged Uchiha Kage's neck and leaned on him even more.

This was the first time she had been carried by Kage.

"Yeah."

After gently putting down the girl who was reluctant to leave him, Uchiha Kage looked at the battle situation between Samui and Sai.

Sai, having run out of options, was pinned to the trunk of a large tree by Samui with a ninja sword.

He was now bleeding and breathing weakly.

Although Samui crushed Sai the entire time, she handled the sudden situation very poorly.

If Shikamaru hadn't released the Shadow Binding Technique in time, not only Ino, but Samui would have likely been injured by Sai's ninjutsu.

The latter quickly pulled out the ninja sword that had pinned Sai to the tree and returned to his side.

Instead of standing perfectly in front of Sai, who was still barely alive, like she was now.

"So it's Kage, are you in the Anbu now?"

Shikamaru and Choji both breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the person who came was Uchiha Kage.

"However, what are you guys doing?"

Looking at the situation where the other two Konoha Anbu were killing each other until one of them was left, Shikamaru still didn't quite understand what was going on.

"It's just solving a traitor within Konoha. It has nothing to do with you."

Uchiha Kage gave Samui a wink.

"Things almost went wrong. I'll teach you a lesson later when we get back."

After Samui came over, Uchiha Kage whispered his evaluation of the female ninja's battle just now.

"I…"

How could she have known that there would be three people lurking in the grass?

Samui wanted to retort, but she stopped herself.

Because she knew that retorting would only make her suffer more at night.

"So it's a traitor. No wonder he attacked us!"

Ino looked at Sai lying in the pool of blood with a look of resentment while excitedly pulling on Uchiha Kage's arm.

This guy almost made her meet Kage in a mess.

"By the way, Kage, why aren't you participating in the Chunin Exams?"

Although she had learned from Sakura that Uchiha Kage would not participate in the Chunin Exams, Ino was still a little confused about the reason why Uchiha Kage was not participating.

"Because I have other missions."

After patting the golden hair on the girl's head, Uchiha Kage took out two scrolls that he had picked up on the road from his pocket after notifying the Medical Ninja to collect Sai, who was still barely alive.

"This is for you as compensation for implicating you just now."

"Thank you, Kage!"

Ino happily took the Heaven and Earth scrolls that were necessary to pass the Chunin Exams from Uchiha Kage's hands.

For the current girl, the Death Forest, which was originally a nightmare, suddenly became lovely after Uchiha Kage arrived.

However, the good times didn't last long. After Uchiha Kage said that he had other missions to carry out and couldn't accompany them, Ino immediately became dejected again.

"However, this sister named 'Yiyi' is fine, so let her escort you to the tower and enter the next round of the Chunin Exams."

This Chunin Exams was indeed a bit dangerous, and Uchiha Kage didn't want Ino to have any more accidents.

"You… are you helping them cheat like this? Does Konoha care?"

Samui was anxious. Even her closest relatives had never called her by this name.

But only this guy…

"Where's the cheating? What evidence do you have? We were originally here to protect the Konoha examinees."

Uchiha Kage ordered Samui while preparing to say goodbye to Ino and others.

"Okay."

Seeing that Uchiha Kage was helping her like this, Ino didn't ask the other party to be with her all the way.

However, Kage was really amazing. He was actually a ninja in the Anbu at such a young age.

Moreover, those two people just now were his subordinates.

As expected of the person she liked.

"Thanks, this way we can slack off a bit, but is it really okay for you to help us so much?"

Shikamaru knew that the chances of the three of them passing this Chunin Exams were not high, and he didn't plan to struggle anymore.

He still had to surrender in the upcoming elimination round if he could.

But Uchiha Kage gave them the Heaven and Earth scrolls and sent Anbu ninjas to escort them to the next exam location. Would doing this have a bad impact?

"It's okay."

Uchiha Kage waved his hand, but before leaving, he took another look at Ino, who was still staring at him reluctantly.

"I prefer long hair. In the subsequent elimination round, try to give up if it doesn't work."

He was quite fond of Ino's long hair, and hoped that the girl would not tear her hair everywhere to fight with Sakura like in the original book.

"Yes! I got it!"

Without Uchiha Kage saying more, Ino didn't want to continue this Chunin Exams anymore.

However, he came all the way to save her and left behind such caring words…

Kage really did like her the most!

Even after Uchiha Kage's figure had completely disappeared, Ino was still standing there blankly looking into the distance.

"Hmph, another little girl who has been deceived by him."

Samui just snorted coldly at the golden-haired girl's obvious reaction of liking Uchiha Kage so much.

However, she didn't have time to care about these small matters.

Anyway, the Konoha Ninja had nothing to do with her.

However, that guy seemed to be deliberately sending her away. Was he going to do something big?

Samui was a little puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, this guy shouldn't let her go alone.

Because this perverted little kid always wanted to touch her body…

Forget it, it was better to let her act alone.

Shaking her head, Samui stopped thinking about Uchiha Kage's affairs. It was not easy to escape the guy's clutches for a while, and she was happy to be relaxed.

---

On the other side, Sasuke and his party, who had encountered Orochimaru, officially fought against each other.

And Uchiha Kage also came nearby to watch the show.

However, what was surprising was that there seemed to be a few other ninjas who had strayed into this area to watch the show besides him.
