While they were talking, Naruto felt a breath approaching them.

He was familiar with that breath, it was the strange Kusagakure examinee, he moved very fast, faster than anyone Naruto had ever seen.

Naruto thought for a moment, the other party seemed to come alone, without teammates, and there were no other examinees around them, even if there was an accident, he could take Sasuke and Sakura away at any time.

After careful consideration, he decided to meet the Kusagakure examinee.

The other party's breath was too strange, it seemed that he had used some kind of technique similar to the fusion technique, but it was definitely much lower than the fusion technique, because the fusion technique would superimpose the breath of two people and increase the strength exponentially, and the Kusagakure examinee was a person with part of the breath of other people mixed in his body, it looked like a simple one swallowed the other.

He informed Sasuke and Sakura that someone was approaching, and the two nodded knowingly, pretending to be indifferent, but they were already ready for a fight.

Just when the opponent approached a certain distance, Sasuke suddenly jumped up and quickly formed seals with both hands: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Sakura quickly threw several shurikens at the opponent, while Naruto aimed at the opponent and raised his hand to launch a hole wave.

Boom!

The opponent's premonition of crisis was terrifyingly strong. Almost at the same time as they made a move, the opponent jumped directly from his hiding place and jumped onto the tree branch in three or two steps at an extremely fast speed, avoiding all the attacks of the three people just now.

"I haven't been back for many years. The Genin of Konoha has really improved now." The opponent looked down at the three people with a slightly hoarse voice.

Naruto felt a sense of crisis. The identity of the opponent seemed to be not simple. Just now, he launched the hole wave first, and the speed was so fast, but the opponent easily dodged it. This kind of combat awareness and skills are definitely not what a Genin would have.

For a player like Gaara, his hard power may have reached the level of Jonin, but he can't win against a real veteran Jonin, because the opponent's combat experience and awareness completely crush him.

But the performance of this Kusagakure Genin just now made Naruto vaguely feel that even Kakashi couldn't do it so neatly.

"Sasuke, Sakura, be careful and be ready to run away at any time."

Naruto stared at the Kusagakure Ninja on the tree, and his body instantly burst into red flames.

Kaio-ken!

"Red aura? Is it the power of the Nine-Tails? No, it's just the appearance." For a moment, he thought he had met Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but he still knew the Nine-Tails Chakra, which was very violent and definitely not the power of the other party.

"Nine-Tails?" Naruto remembered that Konoha's history books mentioned that a tragedy called the Nine-Tails Night occurred more than ten years ago, and the then Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died at the hands of the Nine-Tails.

"It seems that the village has strictly blocked the news of the Nine-Tails, and even an excellent newcomer like you doesn't know."

Just from the power of Naruto's ninjutsu just now, and the chakra that is now surging in Naruto's body, Naruto's strength is far beyond the normal level of a normal ninja. If such a talent were in the past, he would probably be tempted and want to take him as a student.

Naruto leaped up, and the unique sound of breaking through the air with the Kaio-ken echoed in the forest. He launched an explosive attack. The opponent didn't seem to expect that his speed would be so fast. He was caught off guard and only had time to cross his arms in front of him, and was kicked hard by him.

The mysterious Kusagakure ninja took this kick, and his arms felt like they were about to break, but he was not angry, but looked at Naruto with an extremely perverted and surprised look.

"What a strong body, it's just perfect." He couldn't help but stick out his tongue. The strange thing was that his tongue was like a snake and very long.

Being stared at by that perverted look, Naruto felt a chill in his body.

Who is this guy? A 2x Kaio-ken kick didn't do anything to him, but that kick would have killed or maimed the other candidates.

Before he could react, the opponent suddenly pounced on him at an alarming speed, and in an instant he was beside him. Naruto, who was using 2x Kaio-ken, almost didn't react.

"Kaio-ken, triple!"

Without any hesitation, Naruto instantly raised the Kaio-ken to a higher power, squatted down to narrowly avoid the attack, and then engaged in physical combat with the opponent.

Even if it was raised to triple, the opponent could still keep up with Naruto's speed, and from the excitement in his eyes, he hadn't used his full strength yet, but was just admiring Naruto's strength.

"It's wonderful. Konoha actually has such a gem hidden. How strong can such a body become in the future?"

Seeing the other party's eyes becoming more and more abnormal, Naruto felt that he could no longer hide it. He took two steps back. At the moment when the other party stood up and caught up, Naruto put his hands together, formed a frame with his fingers, and locked the other party's figure like a scope.

"New Qigong Cannon!!!!"

Chapter 49 Orochimaru

"What?!"

Even though the other party had experienced many battles, he could not have imagined that such a level of output skills would be played out by a Genin.

The rich combat experience played a role again. If it were someone else, he might be stunned for a while and then be hit on the spot, but he immediately made the fastest reaction and formed seals with both hands in one second: "Summoning Technique!"

A huge python suddenly appeared in front of him. He kicked the python without thinking, and used the reaction force of the other party's body to bounce himself out, barely avoiding the direct attack of the new Qigong cannon.

The unlucky python directly hit the new Qigong cannon, and its body was instantly evaporated, and many trees behind it were cut into a gap. Fortunately, Naruto fired this shot diagonally upward. If it was facing a certain direction, it would probably penetrate the forest and kill some unlucky candidates.

The Kusagakure ninja who barely dodged the attack looked up with lingering fear, and exclaimed in his heart: "Such a terrible output... Is it Dust Release? No, it doesn't look like it. What kind of ninjutsu is this, a new blood limit?"

The look he gave Naruto became more intense. This Genin brought him too many surprises. Whether it was his body or his technique, he was impeccably strong. This was because the other party had not grown up yet, and he was already a strong man equivalent to the shadow of a village. If the two sides fought at the same stage, he would probably die miserably.

"Hehehehehe... I've decided. I'll list you as the first choice for the next body!" His neck suddenly became extremely long, and he attacked Naruto like a twisting python, as if he wanted to bite Naruto with the snake fangs in his mouth?

This direct attack certainly could not threaten Naruto. Although he was very fast, Naruto used teleportation to dodge the attack the moment he reacted, and teleported directly behind him. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent stretched his head and his body reaction ability was slow, he released a hole wave directly to him.

"What?!"

In the previous battle, Naruto deliberately did not use teleportation in order to be able to kill at the critical moment. Obviously, this plan worked. The opponent did not expect Naruto to have such a special skill. Even if he had rich combat experience, he could not be prepared behind him while stretching his head.

In a hurry, he only had time to twist his body, so that the hole wave that would have hit the vital point only made a hole in his abdomen.

Such a result has already satisfied Naruto. Now he has the advantage on the scene, but it is not certain if the fight continues.

The opponent had not used his full strength, as if he wanted to force him to use more skills to see where his potential limit was. However, even so, Naruto had been forced to use even the Kaio-ken and the new Qigong Cannon.

If it weren't for the ability to escape by teleporting, Naruto would have had to consider using the Kaio-ken to the limit and go all in with the opponent.

"Goodbye!" After the attack was successful, Naruto did not want to fight, and retreated quickly to Sasuke and Sakura, using teleportation to take them to the other end of the map.

After the three retreated, the injured Kusagakure ninja didn't care much about his wounds, but just covered his abdomen, with some strange colors flashing in his eyes.

"I really didn't notice it... Take a closer look, the boy looks very similar to him, and the unique instant body technique, is it Flying Thunder God? It was passed down?"

The smile on his face gradually faded, and there was a hint of disappointment.

"What a pity. So, he is probably the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, right? Then he is not suitable to be a vessel."

His intelligence network has long collected information about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. Originally, the old man of the Third Generation had been blocking the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, making it impossible for him to start.

But someone inside released the news, as if deliberately targeting the boy, which allowed him to get some information about the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

Today, he finally guessed why the news leaked out.

With yellow hair, twelve or thirteen years old, and the instant body technique, he could figure out who Naruto's child was and what his background was even with his toes.

Danzo, a notoriously petty guy, was obsessed with the position of Hokage beyond everyone's imagination. At that time, Danzo felt that he had no hope of getting promoted, so he wanted to nominate him as the Fourth Hokage and be the man behind the scenes, but was intercepted by Minato Namikaze halfway.

As for this matter, Orochimaru, the person involved, was quite open-minded. If he was not elected, then he was not elected. Now that he thinks about it, Minato Namikaze is indeed impeccable as Hokage, and he does not feel any resentment.

Danzo, on the other hand, seems to have more resentment because of this matter.

Since the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the child of the Fourth Generation, it is not surprising that Danzo can do this.

In fact, since leaving Konoha, Orochimaru slowly discovered that Danzo really contributed a lot of enemies to Konoha.

He briefly joined the Akatsuki organization. Although he did not obtain much information from that organization, he learned a little that the Akatsuki organization was hostile to Konoha, and it seemed to be related to Danzo.

The reason why his most capable subordinates changed from the original Konoha people to his people was also a good thing done by Danzo.

The Uchiha clan was originally an important fighting force of Konoha, and they made a lot of contributions in many ninja world wars. The reason why this clan fell and was destroyed seems to be inseparable from Danzo.

He still remembered that Danzo once said to the Third Hokage in a high-sounding manner, "As long as I am here, I will face any danger together with Konoha." Well said, then why is there so much danger in Konoha? Probably because of him. Naruto's matter was just as Orochimaru expected. When Naruto's identity was leaked, the Third Hokage quickly traced it to Danzo, and the two had a big fight over it.

No one knows the specific content, but we only know that Danzo slammed the door and walked out, saying "Sarutobi, you will regret it."

Then a sentence floated out from the office of the third generation, "Danzo, I am the Hokage."

On the other side, Naruto took Sasuke and Sakura and teleported directly to the other end of the examination room, hiding from the Kusagakure ninja far away.

He was sure that the other party was definitely not the examinee himself, and it was very likely that he had borrowed the other party's identity to sneak in.

That guy's strength was definitely far above Kakashi. The only one who could be stronger than Kakashi was the Kage of a village.

"I said that this Chunin Exam was not easy. Even a Kage-level strongman sneaked in. It felt like something big was going to happen."

After thinking it over and over again, Naruto felt that the seriousness of the matter had exceeded his imagination. It was very likely that someone was planning something big against Konoha.

There were still many people in Konoha that he cared about, and he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Sasuke, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

Naruto put two fingers on his forehead, ready to teleport to the Third Hokage and report to him about the appearance of a Kage-level strongman in the exam.

..........................................

Answer a question that has been discussed a lot in these two chapters

1. Does Orochimaru know Naruto's identity and that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

A: He doesn't know, because in the comics, Orochimaru said belatedly when Naruto exploded the Nine-Tails Chakra: "Could it be that this kid is..."

Later, Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra continued to explode, and Orochimaru confirmed: "That look, there is no mistake"

That is to say, Orochimaru really knew nothing about Naruto before the Chunin Exam, and Senior Kabuto's intelligence work was still not in place ()

2. Why has the Nine-Tails not appeared in this book so far?

Answer: It is mentioned in the setting book that the Nine-Tails can only release chakra in response to Naruto's emotions. Konoha's sealing technique is indeed something. Only when Naruto gets too excited in the battle can the Nine-Tails take the opportunity to leak a little bit of skin. At other times, the Nine-Tails has no sense of existence at all.

In this book, Naruto's emotions are too stable, so the Nine-Tails can't leak anything beyond the seal.

As for why Naruto didn't take the initiative to find the Nine-Tails, it's because... he didn't know.

Yes, in the early stage of the comics, although the people of Konoha targeted Naruto openly and secretly, no one really talked about the Nine-Tails to his face. Naruto didn't know his identity until the Mizuki incident. The orders of the Third Generation were indeed effective, and no one dared to talk about this matter.

Chapter 50 The Third Generation is on the move

When Naruto found the problem, the ninjas of Konoha also found three bodies outside the examination room.

The examiner, Azuki Mitarashi, immediately rushed to the scene to observe. The three bodies did not suffer serious external injuries. They seemed to have been killed by a single blow. At the same time, their faces had disappeared, as if they were dissolved and stripped off by something. The bodies looked very creepy.

Although the faces were no longer recognizable, through some objects and other evidence on the bodies, it was finally identified that the three bodies belonged to three ninjas from Kusagakure.

But this led to a new problem, that is, the ninjas from Kusagakure successfully participated in the second round of exams. Each of them was sent to the exam room by the examiners themselves. How could they die so far away from the exam room?

Moreover, according to the identification of the medical ninjas who came later, the three bodies died at least yesterday, that is, the three Kusagakure ninjas who entered the exam room must have killed them and used their identities as counterfeits.

This vicious incident immediately attracted the attention of the examiners, and the one who reacted the most was the examiner, Azuki Mitarashi, because she knew who was responsible for this method.

That was her teacher, who had taught her the method.

More than a decade ago, she was still a fledgling Genin. At that time, she was accepted as a disciple by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha. At that time, she felt that this was a supreme honor, but she didn't know that this matter would trouble her for many years.

Hongdou herself admitted that the two did have a master-disciple relationship. Orochimaru taught her wholeheartedly. Her achievement of the position of special jonin today was also the result of Orochimaru's careful teaching.

However, Orochimaru eventually became a traitor to Konoha. He did too many things that were unacceptable in Konoha. In order to study ninjutsu, he not only used living people for human experiments, but even used Hongdou as a test subject when studying a forbidden technique called "curse seal".

Fortunately, Hongdou was the only one who survived among that batch of test subjects, but the psychological shadow left at that time might be difficult to dissipate in this life.

Until now, there is still a special power called "curse seal" on her neck, which has been sealed by relying on the power of the third generation of Hokage.

When she saw the three dissolved bodies, she immediately understood that this was her former teacher, Orochimaru, who had returned to Konoha.

This might be the most dangerous time for Konoha since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, because Orochimaru was one of the "Three Ninjas" of Konoha, and had a power comparable to that of the Kage of a village, and even many Kages were not as powerful as Orochimaru.

If he had come back ten years ago, the Third Hokage would have been able to subdue him steadily. After all, the Third Hokage was Orochimaru's teacher, known as the professor of ninjutsu, and one of the strongest in the ninja world in recent decades. He led Konoha to win the second and third Ninja World Wars and was the most trusted hero of Konoha ninjas.

However, no matter how powerful a hero is, he cannot resist the passage of time. The Third Hokage is now about to turn seventy years old. In addition, he participated in the Ninja World Wars for many years, leaving many hidden dangers. His body has weakened greatly in recent years. Although he is still a Kage-level strongman, he no longer has the dominance he had before.

It is really bad news that Orochimaru returns to the village at this juncture.

Konoha Village has lost too much power in recent years. In fact, Konoha has had many Kage-level strongmen, but they either died in battle, defected, or left the village for other reasons. Now, in such a big Konoha, only the Third Hokage can be used.

Theoretically, Danzo's strength is also unfathomable, but he is rarely seen taking on tasks, so he cannot be counted in the battle force.

Hongdou was extremely anxious, but for now she could only activate the alert, order her subordinates to report the matter to the Hokage, and activate the Anbu to investigate here. At the same time, she decided to go deep into the Death Forest and use the forbidden technique that Orochimaru had taught her, and try to die with Orochimaru.

Before her message was conveyed, an uninvited guest arrived in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was holding a pipe, puffing on it while handling official business on the table.

This month, the funds given to the village by the daimyo were not particularly abundant, and the repair of the western street might have to be postponed. The remuneration for the ninjas for doing tasks was not reduced, and even with the ups and downs in the past few years, various commissions have increased.

"Alas," the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh.

He has experienced three Ninja World Wars. During the First Ninja World War, he was still young and inexperienced. His master, the Second Hokage, died in that Ninja World War, and he took over temporarily.
