Chapter 253 Kabuto: The scroll is yours. Whether you pass the Chunin Exams or not doesn't matte
The central tower of the Death Forest marks the end of this assessment.
Sasuke and his two companions traveled smoothly to their destination, and the only battle they encountered along the way was actually a sneak attack by the Root ninjas.
"Sasuke, are you alright?"
Upon reaching the destination, Haku, who had remained silent the entire way, finally couldn't help but ask about Sasuke's situation.
"Me? I'm fine."
"Are you really alright? When the Hokage of Konoha came out earlier, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to hold back and would rush up and attack."
"Really? Karin, were my emotions that obvious just now?"
Karin shook her head, somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong? Sasuke seemed perfectly normal when the Hokage appeared just now."
"It's normal that Karin doesn't look it. She's been too well protected in the Land of Grass and hasn't experienced any fighting."
But for people like us who have witnessed too many life-or-death battles, the killing intent you just displayed was far too obvious, even though you quickly suppressed it.
However, I think since I've already noticed, the Hokage must have noticed as well.
"Oh no, the Hokage found out! Will he target us now?"
Sasuke said nonchalantly.
"No, with the Daimyo here, he wouldn't dare do that. Besides, this is a joint Chunin Exam. If he dares to target us, and it gets discovered by people from other villages and countries, then Konoha will be disgraced."
As for whether he'll wait until after the Chunin Exams to make his move against us...
As he spoke, Sasuke, who always had a stern face, smiled.
"He can't wait until then."
Haku and Karin nodded in agreement. They didn't need to wait until the Chunin Exams were over; as long as Orochimaru initiated the Konoha Crush Plan, the life of the Third Hokage of Konoha would begin its countdown.
"Yo Sasgei, you guys are here pretty early."
A voice suddenly rang out, which immediately alerted Shiro and Karin.
"Don't be nervous, it's an old acquaintance."
Sasuke gestured for his two teammates to relax and looked at the newcomer.
"You're pretty fast too, Dou. We came straight here, but we were delayed a bit on the way. But you, you arrived so quickly too."
"Hey hey hey, this is the benefit of participating in the Chunin Exams a few more times. I know this place too well."
Dou smiled, adjusted his glasses, and then asked.
"So, you haven't collected all the scrolls needed to clear the level yet?"
"Yes, we plan to wait here and wait for them to come to us."
"I see."
Dou nodded in approval. This was indeed a good method, eliminating the need to spend time and effort searching for other teams.
"But I have an even better idea. What kind of scroll do you need? Heaven or Earth? It doesn't matter, I have them all."
As he spoke, Dou took out two scrolls from his pocket, one for heaven and one for earth.
"You gave us the scroll, but what about yourself?"
"Hey, don't worry, I still have some."
As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi pulled out another pair of Heaven and Earth Scrolls, bringing the total number of scrolls in his hand to four.
Karin was somewhat surprised and asked curiously.
"Where did you get so many scrolls?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just ran into a few unlucky guys fighting each other, and then I just happened to steal one."
Sasuke didn't stand on ceremony with Kabuto and directly took the scroll he needed.
"Since you also have a pass scroll, let's go in together."
"I won't go, I have things to do. You guys go ahead, I'm just here to go through the motions anyway."
Dou didn't care whether he passed the assessment or not; it was just a title and didn't represent his actual ability.
"Alright then, let's go in first."
Sasuke didn't hesitate. He knew that Kabuto was also part of Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan. He said there was another mission, so it must be a mission related to the Konoha Crush plan.
Bye-bye, see you later.
After saying goodbye, Kabuto Yakushi also left in the opposite direction.
Upon entering the tower, the three arrived at a large gate, where two Konoha Jonin were stationed.
The two were somewhat surprised to see someone arrive so quickly, and even more surprised when they saw that Sasuke was the first to arrive.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Is this the Uchiha clan? They were truly terrifyingly powerful. How did such a powerful clan like the Uchiha get wiped out?"
However, now is not the time to dwell on these issues, a security guard stepped forward.
"Please show us your Heaven and Earth Scroll."
Sasuke took out two scrolls and handed them over. After confirming that the scrolls were intact and not broken or opened, the two opened the door.
"Congratulations on successfully passing the assessment. After entering, turn right and someone will take you to the temporary rest area. After the other candidates have finished their assessments and the final statistics are compiled, we will prepare for the next round of assessments."
The three of them remained silent as they passed through the gate and followed the guide to the rest area.
Meanwhile, the other examinees in the Forest of Death were still undergoing their assessments.
root.
"Danzo! You have disappointed me greatly!"
Ignoring the Root ninjas' attempts to dissuade him, Hiruzen Sarutobi kicked open the door and roared furiously at Danzo.
"How dare you disobey my warning and act rashly! Do you know what would have happened if I hadn't led men to stop you in time?!"
"Hmph, they're just three brats. What will become of them? I've already made a meticulous plan. I had them lure away other teams nearby. Once we take down the three of them, no one will be able to find out."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead veins throbbed.
"Danzo, Danzo, when did you become so foolish? Even if you manage to capture those three, what if the Land of Grass comes asking us for them after the assessment?"
"Hmph, that's easy. Just find three scapegoat corpses, use fire jutsu to destroy their features, and pass them off as the corpses of the three of them."
This assessment was inherently dangerous, with the risk of death. They were simply outmatched and killed; who can they blame but themselves?
Hiruzen Sarutobi was trembling with rage.
"I've realized that you're not only stupid, but also naive. I can name at least five ways to verify the authenticity of a corpse right now."
"Besides, do you know that the Root ninjas you sent out were no match for them at all? If I hadn't arrived in time with my men, they would have been wiped out, do you know that?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. They are all elites from my root. They could never possibly lose to three brats."
Even though all three of them possessed Bloodline Limits, I had already thoroughly investigated their situation. How could they possibly be no match for three brats?
Seeing Danzo's disbelieving expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up directly.
"Uchiha Sasuke has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan."
"What! How is that possible? He's so young!"
Danzo's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and greed.
