“The Hokage is busy. Right now, we only need to consider the handover issue, but as subordinates, we have a lot more to think about.”

Having said that, the Jonin present remained silent.

They all felt that what the Hokage Assistant was saying was right, but they also felt that this Hokage Assistant seemed unreliable.

However, they quickly reacted and tacitly turned their gazes to Kakashi, as if the source of the problem lay with Kakashi.

“I…”

Kakashi was stunned when he saw everyone's gazes. At this moment, he seemed to realize something.

He was going to take the blame for Hideki again.

“The exam rules are like this, so now distribute the papers and wait for the exam to begin.”

Ibiki mechanically finished explaining the rules, then instructed the proctoring ninjas to distribute the papers.

He was still hesitating whether to bring out the 'tenth question'.

The ninjas sitting below had different expressions. Some had already understood the core of this exam, while others had not.

“The purpose of this exam is to gather intelligence!”

Sasuke was still very smart. He nodded secretly in his heart, knowing what he had to do.

“Tch, free points.”

Karin adjusted her glasses, she was also very confident.

As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, her perception was super strong, and gathering intelligence was too easy for her!

But after glancing at the people around her, especially after discovering that Neji and Lee were the only ones from her grade, she couldn't laugh anymore.

“It's finally here!”

Naruto was also very excited at this time. He couldn't help but rub his hands together. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Moreover, he had seriously learned a lot of things over the years, and he felt that he should have no problem handling the exam.

As soon as the test paper came down, he began to read the questions carefully.

“I can do the first question, the second question is also no problem, the third question is okay too…”

Naruto kept reviewing, and the confidence and smile on his face slowly began to bloom.

“So confident, it seems like there's no big problem, right?”

Ibiki naturally saw this scene, which made him feel a little inexplicable and couldn't help but nod.

“It seems that Lord Hideki is still too worried.”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He felt that he only needed to say hello to the other proctors later and pay less attention to these little guys.

However, what he didn't notice was that as he continued to leave, Naruto's face gradually became stiff and pale.

In the end, the only thought remaining in Naruto's mind was—

“I'm done for!”

“How is the situation, Orochimaru?”

In the Land of Fire, within a secret forest, the Akatsuki members had quietly gathered here.

In an underground cave dug out with Earth Release, Obito Uchiha came to Orochimaru's side, feeling the strange aura on Orochimaru's body, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

“Very good, even better than I imagined.”

Orochimaru gently licked his lips. He felt that his current state was much better than he had imagined!

But this also made him couldn't help but glance at Obito Uchiha. It seemed that this guy had more and better things in his hands than he thought.

“It's good that you feel good, but unfortunately there are still too few of these biological constructs.”

Obito Uchiha seemed to see through Orochimaru's thoughts, he deliberately shook his head and said helplessly.

“That guy Zetsu needs to split himself to condense a biological construct. Splitting two at a time is already the limit.

I hope there won't be too many problems this time, and what I'm most concerned about now is you. Are you sure you can control the people you summon?”

Obito Uchiha really went all out this time. He didn't discuss it with Black Zetsu, but directly took out White Zetsu and gave it to Orochimaru.

But he still left some thoughts. He knew that he couldn't take out too much at once, and he couldn't let Orochimaru get these things easily.

That's why he deliberately put on an act and took out two, and said those words just now, and now everything depends on this guy Orochimaru's performance.

“Don't worry, everything is under control.”

Orochimaru gently clenched his fist, he said in a deep voice.

“Although the Second Hokage and the First Hokage are brothers, the gap between the two is very large, so the investment in the Second Hokage does not need to be so much.

Therefore, I cut off an arm and integrated it into my own body. Although this will accelerate the collapse of my body, it will not be a big problem to deal with this time.”

Although White Zetsu's cells are good, and have been modified by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can use!

Fortunately, Orochimaru has already developed 'Reanimation', he has already transformed his body, and now his body is simply someone else's.

Even if it collapses, he doesn't care. For him, to get a glimpse of the power of the First Hokage is his greatest pursuit!

“However, I hope that next time that guy can split his body, he can prepare another one for me.”

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then he suddenly said.

“This body is worth studying, and at the same time, if I want to better control the power of these guys, I also need a stronger body.”

“Okay.”

Obito agreed without hesitation, but agreeing is agreeing, and whether there will be a next time is not easy to say.

Agreeing in advance is good for dealing with the current situation, he will not lose anyway.

He doesn't know what the power of the First Hokage is, but Orochimaru has made a lot of adjustments, and the aura of the First Hokage is extraordinary!

What's more, he doesn't need to worry about Orochimaru slacking off in order to deliberately get those White Zetsu's bodies.

Ever since summoning the Second Hokage, Orochimaru and Konoha have had no room for reconciliation!

This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of winning big.

"Then, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Orochimaru lightly licked his tongue; he could see that Obito had some ulterior motives.

However, he didn't care; even deliberately pointing it out wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, the complexity of some things exceeds his imagination!

But for him, it's not a bad thing.

"That black-clothed guy seems more interesting than I thought."

Orochimaru licked his lips, involuntarily thinking of a certain black figure.

However, standing in the middle, he doesn't need to overthink.

The two looked at each other, then nodded involuntarily, seemingly satisfied with everything at the moment.

It's just that what they were thinking was completely different.

"How does it feel to be back in Konoha?"

In another part of the underground cave, Kakuzu's beady green eyes focused on the silent Uchiha Itachi.

"After all, you killed your whole family; I wonder how the Konoha ninjas see you."

"I'm afraid the Konoha ninjas will be very interested in him."

Sasori said casually while adjusting his puppet, without even looking up, but his words were full of mockery.

"After all, killing his entire family, and even personally killing his parents, such a ruthless person is rare to see in the entire ninja world."

"That's really amazing; I've killed so many people, but I haven't killed my own family yet."

Hidan looked at Uchiha Itachi with some interest, his morbid face full of excitement.

"Hey, tell me, what does it feel like to kill your own parents? Is it the ultimate pleasure?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes, his expressionless face looking coldly at Hidan.

"Alright, stop talking."

Jūzō Biwa sat aside, looking speechlessly at his teammates; it was one thing for Kakuzu to spout nonsense.

Sasori followed suit, and as a result, Hidan, who had joined in recent years, was directly provoked; he had seen such scenes many times.

Although he didn't like people like Uchiha Itachi either, he and Uchiha Itachi were teammates, so he could only helplessly smooth things over.

"I don't know what it feels like to kill parents, but I do know what it feels like to kill teammates, kill comrades, kill classmates; anyway, I can only say it's very painful."

"That's your Mist Village's problem, the Blood Mist Policy, I've heard of it."

Kakuzu shrugged, then spoke again with malicious intent.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the one who controlled the Mizukage back then was still-"

"Enough, don't talk about the past."

Jūzō Biwa really wanted to tear Kakuzu's mouth apart; why bring up what shouldn't be brought up?

"Instead of talking about these things, it's better to talk more about this Konoha operation.

We've dealt with that Shiwara Shūzawa so many times; do you think there's any hope this time?"

Is there any hope?

This question instantly silenced everyone present; if you think about it carefully, from the time they faced off against Shiwara Shūzawa, they never seemed to have won.

Even though they were the most elite ninjas, they lost every time and were beaten into submission every time.

Is it really okay to ask this question?

"Whether there is hope or not doesn't really depend on us, and we are not the key."

However, just when the atmosphere was at its most oppressive, Kakuzu suddenly opened his mouth with a smile.

"Konoha's eyes have always been on those they hate the most, such as that Uchiha Obito.

Besides that, there's Orochimaru; perhaps our leader counts as one, but our relationship isn't that great.

Oh, of course, I almost forgot."

Speaking of this, Kakuzu's eyes turned to Uchiha Itachi again, his face full of wicked smiles.

"When you exterminated your clan, you seemed to only focus on your parents, forgetting that there might be others still alive.

That woman probably won't let you go; how about it, do you have confidence?"

Everyone in Akatsuki looked at Uchiha Itachi again; actually, thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

Over the years, perhaps everyone except Hidan has accumulated rich experience in failure, and has a deep accumulation of the ability to run away.

Besides, instead of thinking about themselves, it's better to watch the fun and look at Uchiha Itachi.

Such a ruthless person is rare to see once in a lifetime in the entire ninja world!

"No, where's your confidence from just now?!"

The Chūnin Exams are still continuing, and the time for the first exam is running out.

Ibiki, the proctor, began to slowly patrol the hall, but when he came to Naruto's side, he was instantly stunned.

He clearly remembered that Naruto was very confident before the start of the exam, so how did he become like this now?

It's not that this guy really handed in a blank paper; at least he wrote something for some of the questions.

But such a paper will not pass!

"This is going to be the death of me..."

Ibiki cursed inwardly; Shūzawa had clearly pointed out that he should focus on Konoha's group of 'second generations'.

The proportion of 'second generations' in this class of students is extremely high; to put it bluntly, if someone were to kill this group of little devils, the Fourth Shinobi World War might break out!

In some ways, Shūzawa's 'social skills' were really not wrong...

And now, Ibiki really felt a huge pressure.

He had already instructed those proctors to pay less attention to these little guys.
