"Orochimaru?"
Hearing Uchiha Kage call out his real name, Sasuke finally understood why this "Sound Ninja" was so powerful.
So it was Orochimaru, one of the Konoha Sannin, in disguise. No wonder he couldn't win.
"Orochimaru? What a weird name? And… who's Uchiha Madara?"
Naruto was completely lost.
"You deadlast, you must be sleeping through every class…"
He doesn't even know those two names?!
Reluctantly, Sasuke patiently explained the background of those two to Naruto.
"Orochimaru is one of the Konoha Sannin, but that was a long time ago. Now, he's an S-rank Missing-nin from Konoha. As for Uchiha Madara…"
This legendary ninja who founded Konoha with the First Hokage, but later betrayed the village and caused the First Hokage's death, was rarely mentioned in Konoha anymore.
Sasuke's feelings were quite complex about this person claiming to be Uchiha Madara appearing beside him.
Whether it was true or not, this guy was definitely an extraordinary madman.
"What? A big villain from the First Hokage's era… No way!"
Naruto looked disbelieving.
"He just saved you, and he helped us save Sakura before. How could he be a bad guy?"
Although he wore a strange one-eyed mask, his build was a bit like…
Naruto couldn't help but recall a certain Uchiha classmate wearing a mask on the bridge in the Land of Waves.
"This…"
Sasuke was also a little hesitant.
"When have you ever seen an adult dragging children into a fight?"
Typical Naruto, usually so clueless, how's he being so sharp now?
Noticing Naruto's suspicious gaze, Uchiha Kage hurriedly explained in Uchiha Madara's tone.
"Him!"
Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously turned their gazes to Orochimaru's face.
This shameless old guy still came back to the village to bully children.
"Hmph!"
Which village rule said adults couldn't bully children?
Orochimaru was somewhat angered and embarrassed by 'Uchiha Madara's' teasing, but he quickly thickened his skin.
"As expected of the legendary ninja, you can easily see through my identity."
Shhh.
Orochimaru expressionlessly tore off the human skin mask on his face.
"But, to dare say you won't kill me, even if you are Uchiha Madara, we'll have to fight to see who's stronger!"
Not only did he call out his disguise, but he also knew that he stole the bodies of the First and Second Hokage.
This 'Uchiha Madara' was too extraordinary.
And he specifically demanded the bodies of the Previous Generation Hokage from him. Could it be…
Could this 'Uchiha Madara' also use the Impure World Reincarnation technique?
Or did he also want to study the First Hokage's cells?
Either way, Orochimaru felt extremely wary.
"You're quite audacious, Konoha junior."
Uchiha Kage smiled slightly, then showed off his Mangekyo Sharingan again to Orochimaru, who was surprised by the name Uchiha Madara.
"But, you should know very well that in front of the Mangekyo Sharingan, all your Ninjutsu and tricks are just dust."
"You…"
Orochimaru felt like he had heard that line somewhere before.
Itachi!
Uchiha Itachi, that detestable guy, had said the same thing!
Remembering how he couldn't even beat Uchiha Itachi, a teenager, in the past, and recalling 'Uchiha Madara's' previous mockery, Orochimaru instantly turned red with anger.
"Uchiha Itachi, that idiot should have shown you the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, like this!"
Illusionary Technique: Demonic Illusion-Hell Viewing Technique!
Seeing Orochimaru get so angry, Uchiha Kage easily pulled him into an Illusionary Technique.
"You bastard!!!"
Orochimaru was shocked that this Masked Man knew he had been defeated by Uchiha Itachi, and even more shocked that he had fallen into the same humiliating and painful Illusionary Technique again.
Back then, Uchiha Itachi had used the same method to immobilize him.
Watching the huge iron nails being hammered into his body, Orochimaru abruptly stretched his neck and bit himself on the back.
Trying to use the Pain to dispel the Illusionary Technique's influence on him.
"Useless, you can't escape this technique."
Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique would embed heavy iron nails into all the joints of the caster's body. Any resistance would cause the affected person to suffer serious injuries, unless they stood still.
But standing still was equivalent to letting someone else slaughter you.
"Ah!!!!"
The screams wouldn't disappear, only transfer.
Orochimaru desperately resisted the Illusionary Technique, causing one of his hands to be severed and fall to the ground.
"Hand over the things, I'm not interested in taking your life."
Uchiha Kage pointed a Kunai at Orochimaru in front of him.
"Or do you want more Pain?"
Poof!
The Kunai mercilessly pierced Orochimaru's body.
"You, you're not Uchiha Madara!"
Orochimaru smelled Uchiha Kage's scent.
Years of experimental life allowed him to distinguish a person's age by scent alone.
And the guy in front of him, just by smelling him, you could tell he was definitely very young.
"Still not going to take it out?"
Uchiha Kage kicked Orochimaru to the ground.
[Ninja Fragment x1]
He also successfully obtained Orochimaru's ninja fragment.
"You can kill me, but I won't give it to you!"
It wasn't that Orochimaru wasn't afraid of death, but even if this body died, he had other ways to revive himself.
So he was fearless.
"Then go die."
Prying open Orochimaru's body was indeed a bit difficult, but after obtaining Orochimaru's fragment, Uchiha Kage also obtained most of his Ninjutsu.
Which naturally included his modified Impure World Reincarnation.
"Orochimaru, I've finally found you!"
However, just as Uchiha Kage was about to kill Orochimaru in front of him to see if he could find a way to extract part of his Soul, a team of Konoha Ninja suddenly ran over from not far away.
The Round-faced female ninja in the lead, Uchiha Kage remembered, seemed to be Anko, Yuhi Kurenai-sensei's good friend.
Also Orochimaru's former Disciple.
"The Konoha insects are here? Hmph, consider yourself lucky, Orochimaru."
Uchiha Kage pretended to be imposing and disappeared little by little in front of everyone, but in reality, he just used his Transparency Release to become invisible.
With Anko's strength, she definitely couldn't kill Orochimaru, even if he was injured.
But Orochimaru wouldn't be able to continue targeting Sasuke.
Next, he should go 'pick up' other people's ninja fragments.

"Asuma? What are you…"
On the Konoha Street, Yuhi Kurenai looked strangely at Asuma, who was being "escorted" home by a group of Konoha Anbu.
What happened?
"Kurenai? You really returned to the Village unharmed!"
Ever since he learned that Yuhi Kurenai was going on a decoy mission, Asuma had been very worried.
Now that he saw her return to the Village, he was relieved.
"I'm fine, it's just that the Old Man is getting more and more muddle-headed, don't worry about me! And be careful of Uchiha… One day, I'll find a way to kick the Old Man off the Hokage throne, and then come out to see you!"
Asuma solemnly promised.
Then he thought of his three Disciples who were still participating in the Chunin Exams.
"Also, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji, I'll have to trouble you to take care of them for now, Kurenai."
"So what exactly happened?"
Looking at Asuma, who had been taken away by the Konoha Anbu, Yuhi Kurenai felt a little helpless.
Asuma had said so much, but he hadn't answered her question at all.
And being a son but wanting to kick his Father off the throne… it really made people not know what to say.
But, it didn't matter, Asuma didn't seem to be in any danger.
Yuhi Kurenai shook her head and stopped worrying about it.
"But, the Chunin Exams?"
For some reason, the Village hadn't been issuing any missions recently, and Yuhi Kurenai was happy to have some free time.
"I'll go find Hinata and Shino later, promote everyone to Chunin a step earlier, and then take them back to the Exam Hall to watch the other students take the exam, it will definitely make them happy."
As for Uchiha Kage, who she wanted to find the most…
There was no way, that guy couldn't be found at all, so she simply didn't bother with him.
Yuhi Kurenai had first gone to the Uchiha clan's Clan Grounds to look for him, and then went near Terumi Mei's mansion.
She couldn't find him, which made her feel both relieved and a little disappointed.
However, the Third Hokage, that muddle-headed old fool, must have arranged another secret mission for Kage!
That's why she couldn't find him.
"Wait, Asuma seemed to ask me to take care of Ino, that Yellow-Haired Girl?"
Hmph…
She'd take on that job.

"They're all trash, not even worth killing."
Death Forest.
Covering the dark circles under his eyes with his hand, Gaara easily killed another ninja examinee running away from him with sand.
His siblings, Temari and Kankuro, frowned at the bloody scene.
But due to Gaara's strength and temperament, they didn't dare to say much.
"Gaara, it's not the agreed time that Maki-sensei said yet, we shouldn't attract too much attention from Konoha…"
It wasn't until Gaara stopped to rest that Temari dared to say cautiously.
"Who is it!?"
Gaara didn't care about his Older sister at all, but instead focused all his attention on the strange Masked Man who suddenly appeared in front of them.
"The Jinchuriki of Sunagakure? I didn't expect to see you in Konoha."
Uchiha Kage reached out towards Gaara's neck.
While thinking about whether to make a bigger commotion, or just take the fragment and leave.
"You dare to attack me?"
The sand on Gaara's body automatically defended against the Masked Man reaching out, but what surprised him was that any of his attacks passed through the opponent's body as if they were passing through air, without any effect.
"Sleep for a while."
Grabbing Gaara's neck, and then using the Mangekyo Sharingan to successfully put him to sleep, Uchiha Kage entered the One-Tail Shukaku's consciousness space and beat up the One-Tail Shukaku, who was constantly nagging at him.
"Let go of Gaara!"
Equally shocked that Gaara's sand was ineffective were Temari and Kankuro.
The two took out their fans and puppets to save Gaara, who had been knocked unconscious while being held in the opponent's hand.
But similarly, after the 'Masked Man' threw down Gaara's body, none of their Ninjutsu attacks and puppet attacks had any effect on the opponent.
"That way, the Eight Tails, Three-Tails, and One-Tail are all accounted for."
Only the remaining six were left.
After obtaining Gaara's ninja fragment and the One-Tail's fragment from Gaara's body, Uchiha Kage didn't do anything else.
If he made too much noise, it wouldn't be easy to explain his surface identity.
After all, his original mission was to protect these examinees from suspicious ninja…
"Boring weaklings."
Casually waving his hand to wrap Temari and Kankuro's bodies in sand, and then throwing the two aside, Uchiha Kage slowly disappeared from the spot.
Ninja fragments increased by two again.
Although they were just mosquito legs, but Temari…
She was also quite good-looking, and her thighs were quite meaty. He wondered if she would also appear in the Dream Space at night.
It didn't matter, anyway, for him now, having her was just icing on the cake.

"Kage, although he's cold on the surface, I didn't expect him to help us so much this time."
As they were about to leave the Death Forest and arrive at the Tower for the elimination round, Shikamaru couldn't help but praise Uchiha Kage again.
If it weren't for him, he would definitely have encountered a lot of trouble along the way.
But now everything was smooth sailing.
"Yeah, when our Chunin Exams are over, let's treat him to barbecue."
Choji was also very grateful for Uchiha Kage's thoughtful escort service.
"You guys are only realizing it now, it's too late!"
Ino, while proudly showing off the person she liked, secretly mocked Shikamaru and Choji for not having an eye for talent before.
"Kage has always been like this, he seems unapproachable, but he's actually quite gentle…"
Unconsciously recalling an incident from her childhood when Uchiha Kage protected her, Ino's eyes became even gentler.
"…"
Samui, who had been following these Genin here and heard them praising Uchiha Kage all the way, just wanted to roll her eyes up to the sky.
She had seen the real Uchiha Kage, he was a lecherous, shameless, despicable, and degenerate beast who only used threats to bully women!
His only advantages were his high strength and his outwardly impeccable appearance, but he was still a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Only these naive Little Kid who only knew one side of him would praise him as the only one of his kind in the heavens and on earth.
Especially this Yellow-Haired Girl…
Whenever she mentioned Uchiha Kage, that stinky guy, her eyes were full of little stars.
She was completely poisoned by that guy's appearance.
But, she wondered, what kind of expression would this Yellow-Haired Girl have if she knew that guy injected his stinky thing into my body every day?
"Big Sister, why aren't you talking?"
Ino was a little curious about this Big Sister who had been protecting them along the way but hadn't said a word.
She also felt a bit of a sense of crisis.
With such a hot female subordinate, would Kage be seduced by this woman?
"Don't want to talk."
"Big Sister, how did you become Kage's subordinate? Was it assigned by Hokage-sama?"
"It was…"
She was kidnapped by that guy, would you believe it?
Samui clenched her fists.
I just said I didn't want to talk, is this girl deaf? Still asking?!
"I see, but Big Sister has short hair, and he likes long hair, so he shouldn't…"
Kage shouldn't like her, right.
Ino stroked her smooth, long blonde hair triumphantly.
Kage said he liked my long hair, rounding up, it means … Kage likes me!
"Yeah."
He just liked using her every day, he really didn't like her. [Translator's Note: "Using" is used here as a euphemism for sexual activity, as the original text implies.]
Samui continued to clench her fists.
"But it doesn't matter if Big Sister likes him, after all, Kage is such a good person, every girl would like him."
Since short hair wasn't Kage's type, then this Big Sister shouldn't be much of a threat.
Ino naturally relaxed a lot.
"I won't like him…"
Even if the Sage of Six Paths was his son, I could never fall in love with this despicable and shameless guy!
However, just as Samui was refuting Ino's words, a man she loathed actually arrived near the Tower one step ahead of them.
"Is that so? I don't like you either."
After wreaking havoc on most of the ninja in the Death Forest, Uchiha Kage had changed back into his original attire and returned to Samui and Ino's side.
As for the commotion in the Death Forest…
Sorry, that was done by Orochimaru and the 'Masked Man', it had nothing to do with him, Uchiha Kage.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Uchiha Kage appear, Samui snorted heavily.
He didn't like her, but he still grabbed her and used her as a stress reliever?
What a shameless and lying man!
"Kage! You were actually secretly protecting me all the way, right?"
"No."
Faced with the Yellow-Haired Girl rushing towards him, Uchiha Kage could only choose to catch her.
"Hmph hmph, is Kage embarrassed? But it doesn't matter, I knew you were the best to me…"
"Cough cough!"
However, before Ino could jump into Uchiha Kage's arms and act coquettishly for long, an uninvited guest came to interrupt her.
"So you're here too, my good Disciple!"
Yuhi Kurenai, who was wearing a Jounin vest and appeared at the entrance of the Tower with Hinata and Shino, happened to witness the scene of Ino "shamelessly" jumping into Uchiha Kage's arms.
She searched for this stinky Disciple for a long time, but she didn't expect him to be here getting intimate with a Yellow-Haired Girl…
Also because her attention was entirely on Uchiha Kage, Samui, who was standing to the side, trying to reduce her size as much as possible, and wearing a mask, wasn't noticed by her.
"It's Yuhi Kurenai-sensei…"
Hmph, it's that Female Teacher who's going for younger men again.
Although Ino was interrupted by Yuhi Kurenai, she didn't intend to leave Uchiha Kage's arms just like that.
Thus, the two Female Ninja, one big and one small, glared at each other outside the Chunin Exams elimination round Exam Hall.
"This is really interesting, this guy has finally gotten his comeuppance."
If she wasn't mistaken, this was the legendary love triangle that only a womanizing man would have, right?
Samui coldly watched the scene in front of her, thinking happily in her heart.
He must be in a mess, the womanizing stinky man!
However, before Samui could be proud for long, an unexpected uninvited guest very simply interrupted the love triangle that Uchiha Kage was facing.
"Ino! The Exam Hall is inside, what are you still standing outside for!?"
"Father!?"
Why was Father here?
Ino completely didn't expect to meet her Father here, so she could only slip down from Uchiha Kage's body in disgrace.
"Haiichi-senpai."
And Uchiha Kage, who never felt like there was such a thing as a love triangle, didn't have any other reaction at all.
He even took the initiative to bring up official business with Yamanaka Haiichi in front of him.
"Is Hokage-sama inside? I have something important to report."
The Orochimaru and 'Masked Man' who appeared in the forest before were top priority matters, Uchiha Kage had to make the Third Hokage have a headache.
