Before Sasuke could wake up, Takagi was called away by two of Koba's Dark Group members. At the top of the thicket far away from the crowd, Tealwood looked at the two members of the Dark Group wearing animal masks in front of him and frowned slightly. "The people from the Dark Group appeared in the examination hall…Is there something wrong?”
One of them, who was wearing a bird-faced mask, explained,"Aoki Genin, I am now informing you of an order from Naruto. The third generation Lord Naruto requests that you immediately rush to the tower without delay.”Tealwood was baffled by this order. He asked,""Naruto's order? You want me to go to the tower immediately? Why?"
"Please ask Lord Naruto for the details. We will take our leave first.”With that, the two members of the Dark Group disappeared. Tealwood lowered his head and pondered. The third generation Naruto's order was a little strange, and…why did it have to come at this time? Although Tealwood was filled with doubts, he still decided to head to the tower first.
After returning to Xiao Ying and the others, Tealwood told them that he had to go first. Although Sakura was reluctant to part with him, she felt uneasy without Takagi's protection when Naruto and Sasuke were still unconscious. After Takagi gave Ino a look, Ino had no choice but to step forward and say,""Don't worry! How about we work together next? I'll protect you, Xiao Ying!"
" Hey, hey, what should we do with our scrolls?'Shikamaru asked quietly beside Ino. Ino suddenly remembered this and immediately felt awkward. Shikamaru helplessly covered his face with his hand. He felt that this woman was beyond redemption.
After bidding farewell to Sakura and the others, Tealwood immediately sped up and rushed towards the central tower. With his speed, he arrived at the tower in less than an hour. After tearing open the Book of Heaven and Earth in his hand and being taught by the Chuunin, Takagi went straight to the top of the tower without resting. He found Naruto III, who was watching the monitor with many Koba Ninjas.
"Qianyu, you're here." The third-generation successor put down his pipe and turned to Takagi.""I'm still worried." Worried? Worried about what? Although Tealwood had his doubts, he still answered obediently,""Koba Genin, Kakasiban member Aoki Chiyu reporting for duty.”It was only then that Takagi noticed a slender figure sitting behind Naruto III.
It was Mitarai Washing Red Bean. This Mu Ye was especially intolerant and was the invigilator of the second round of the exam. But why was she here? Takagi then noticed that Red Bean, who was behind the third-generation successor, was clutching the left side of her neck with a pained expression. Cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.
So that's how it is, a curse…Tealwood looked at Red Bean. This woman had lost her usual valiant self. She was like a frightened little animal, appearing extremely weak. Although his eyes were filled with unwillingness to admit defeat and hatred, the fear that was hidden even deeper could not escape Tealwood's careful observation.
"A dangerous person has entered Muye.”The third-generation successor took a few steps to the side and looked at Takagi.""In order not to expose you, I sent someone to order you to come here immediately.”Dangerous person…Tealwood narrowed his eyes and said,""Is it…Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas?”
The third-generation successor looked at Tealwood in surprise and said,""You know? Did Kakashi tell you?" As he spoke, the third-generation successor turned to look at Kakashi, who shook his head to indicate that there was no such thing. Tealwood replied nonchalantly,"I saw it with my own eyes. Of course, he didn't notice me."”The third-generation successor heaved a sigh of relief and nodded."That's good."
" Third generation master, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid that Orochimaru's purpose for appearing in Kogaha isn't simple…" As soon as Tealwood finished speaking, Red Bean, who was beside him, said in pain,""Hmph, you're smart, kid. "Orochimaru's goal this time is probably…" Before he could finish, the third-generation successor continued."Sasuke!"
"As a teacher, I can more or less understand what Orochimaru is thinking.”The third-generation successor's face was indescribably gloomy as he said in a self-deprecating manner," Come to think of it, I'm really not qualified to be a teacher…" At this moment, the third generation Naruto gave off the feeling of a hero in his twilight years. It made people sigh that the 'Ninja Hero' who had shocked the Ninja World had already aged.
"It must be Sherringan who targeted Sasuke, right?”Tealwood's words brought the third-generation successor back to his senses. He nodded and said,""Yes, that's why I asked you to hurry to the tower. We can't…let Orochimaru notice you.”Tealwood sneered at the third-generation successor.""Then, what about Sasuke who was targeted by Orochimaru? Why didn't you think of him, Lord Third Generation?”
"Qianyu! You're too rude!" Kakashi looked worriedly at the third-generation successor, his face darkening as he berated him. This time, the third-generation successor was really speechless. Could he explain the reason? Seeing that Naruto III did not say anything, Red Bean could not help but retort,""Kid, let me tell you! Orochimaru's power is not something you can imagine. If you hide Sasuke, Orochimaru will immediately launch an attack and bring a huge disaster to the ongoing Chuunin exam!”
"So you abandoned Sasuke!”Tealwood's heart was burning with anger, and he couldn't help but reveal his Shura Eye. He stared coldly at Red Bean and said,""Is this righteousness? Sasuke is just a pawn that you can sacrifice for the greater good, right?”
"You! You…this pair of eyes!" Red Bean stared at Tealwood's scarlet eyes with her mouth agape, her hand trembling as she pointed at him. Kakashi felt a headache coming on as he looked at Tealwood, who had shirunan eyes. Looks like I really can't hide anymore!'The third-generation successor silently turned around and looked out the window, his back facing Tealwood.
"I'm sorry, I was rude. Farewell!" Tealwood suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly. Then, he turned around and left the room. As soon as Takagi left, the other Koba Ninjas started whispering to each other. Red Bean even asked Naruto III,""Third generation lord! That Aoki Chiyu's eyes…What was going on? Wasn't Sasuke Uchiha the only descendant of the Uchiha family?”
Kakashi explained," Qianyu is a mixed-blood of the Uchiha family. One of his parents should be a member of the Uchiha family…I think so."”Red Bean was obviously not satisfied with this ambiguous answer. Just as she was about to continue asking, the third-generation successor interrupted,"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore!”
After leaving the room, Takagi was led by a chuunin to the lounge. It was a small room that wasn't very spacious, and there was only a single bed for him to rest in. Tealwood lay down on the bed, thinking about what had just happened. He didn't think much of it when he read the manga, but when he thought about it from the perspective of Sasuke's friend, or rather, his comrade, he realized how cruel Koba's behavior was to Sasuke.
His family members became the victims of a political conspiracy, and although they had only themselves to blame... in the end, even Mu Ye, who had lived with him for 12 years, abandoned him and allowed him to be taken away by Orochimaru. Takagi could understand why Sasuke's heart was so twisted when he finally found out the truth from Ban.
Tealwood couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He didn't know if he still needed to stay in Muye. After exposing his Shura Eye, he was destined to become the victim of the internal strife between Muye's higher-ups. If Tealwood wasn't a grateful person who always remembered the many favors he had received from the Zhu, Lu, and Die families when he was young, as well as Shikamaru and the others, perhaps he would have made up his mind to leave Muye long ago.
And White, what would happen to Moonless Water after he left Muye? Bai didn't like to fight, and Tealwood didn't want her to follow him and defect to Muye, leading a precarious life. Moreover, without the protection of the tree, unless he had the terrifying strength of the Six Paths Immortal, he could do whatever he wanted without being restrained. Otherwise, he would sooner or later attract the covetous eyes of evil people because of his strength.
Although he would not die so easily as long as he was careful, the fact that he was not a real human would be exposed.
The growth of strength and the maturity of thinking did not go hand in hand. Tealwood, who was not weak, was still very naive and childish in his way of thinking. Even though he knew a lot of dark and ugly things, when it came to himself or related people, he was still not calm enough.
After thinking about it for a few days in the tower, the second exam finally ended. Tealwood left the room and headed to the main hall of the tower. There, he met the Genin candidates who had passed the second round and survived. Although some of the 12 cockroaches were injured and battered, at least they had made it here alive, which made Tealwood feel gratified.
Tealwood stood in line in the main hall and secretly greeted the Kioba Cockroaches he knew. On the steps, the third generation Naruto was the leader. Behind him were the teachers leading the teams, Koba Jounin, as well as many of the invigilators, Chuunins. There was also the leader of the Sanin team, Kounin Maki, and Orochimaru, who was disguised as the leader of the Onin team.
However, when some of the Muye Jounin and Chuunin looked at Tealwood, their gazes were strange. Kakashi, who knew what was going on, sighed to himself. He then ignored Kel, who was competing with him. Of course, the examinees present were also observing Tealwood's special Kinoha Genin. In particular, among all the examinees present, only Tealwood and the three members of the I Love Luo team did not have any injuries on their bodies. Even their clothes were not dirty.
Shouju and Kankuro, who knew I Love Luo's strength, didn't think much of it. They only looked at Tealwood with fear.
Next, the third generation Naruto announced the preliminary examination before the third round of examination to these examinees. Although the rules were a little strict, they had already reached this point. No one wanted to fall. Other than Dou, who calmly raised his hand to indicate that he would withdraw from the next exam, the other examinees who had arrived at the tower decided to stay and continue the exam.
However, Sakura was a little worried about Sasuke's physical condition. Even with Tealwood's suppression, the eruption of the curse in Sasuke's body still caused him severe pain. He could not even use the Shura Eye. However, Sasuke stubbornly did not choose to quit. Instead, he stayed behind to continue taking the exam. Because to him, it didn't matter if he could become a Chuunin in this exam.
He just wanted to fight with those experts. He wanted to know how strong he was…after obtaining the power given by Orochimaru. At the thought of this, Sasuke ignored Sakura's pleas and stared at Takagi with a burning gaze. Seeing this, Tealwood felt somewhat helpless. After all, he could not persuade Sasuke to withdraw from the exam.
Soon, it was time to announce the name list. Before this, the referee Moonlight Gale said,""I have to make it clear that since you have exactly 21 people, one of you will be a bye. Don't think that you're lucky, because sometimes, luck is also a part of strength.”
" Then, the first match is…" The screen above the hall suddenly showed the names of two people.
"Sasuke Uchiha versus the red copper armor!”Moonlight Gale announced in a half-dead tone,""Then please bring the two examinees whose names appear on the announcement board to the front. The rest of the unrelated people can wait until the second level stands.”
"Then, let's begin…"
