Tachibana Ukyo in Naruto World

Seven days later.

Ninjas from various villages participating in the Chunin Exam began arriving in Konoha.

The village quickly became lively.

At the same time, the security level of the village increased significantly.

Patrol teams could be seen everywhere.

Occasionally, members of the Uchiha clan were also spotted.

"So this is Konoha?"

"It's quite different from Kirigakure."

"I wonder if Konoha has any formidable figures this time."

...

The group from Kirigakure, led by Jonin Hoshigaki Fuguki, officially entered Konoha.

This time, Kirigakure sent three teams, totaling nine ninjas, to participate in the Chunin Exam hosted by Konoha.

No sooner had the Kirigakure ninjas arrived than the Kumogakure team followed.

In comparison to Kirigakure's nine-person team, Kumogakure's team was noticeably larger, consisting of five squads, totaling fifteen people.

"Yo, this is rare. Didn't expect those arrogant guys from Kumogakure to show up?"

"It is quite rare. These guys usually look down on the so-called Chunin Exam."

"Who knows? This should be interesting. I wonder if these guys can handle our Kirigakure assassination techniques."

The leading Jonin from Kumogakure naturally noticed the Kirigakure group.

However, he didn't show any sign of acknowledgment.

This indifferent attitude undoubtedly provoked the present Kirigakure ninjas. Even Hoshigaki Fuguki, the leading Jonin, felt annoyed.

"These guys are really arrogant!"

"Should we kill one or two to liven things up?"

"That sounds good!"

The malice from the Kirigakure ninjas was noticed by the Kumogakure team.

They not only showed no fear but seemed eager for a fight.

"A bunch of mice who only hide and sneak around. If you have the guts, come out and let's have a go!"

"That's right. With your pathetic tricks, do you really think you can withstand even one of my sword strikes?"

"Draw a line, and let's see who's the coward!"

Kirigakure and Kumogakure began to argue, with the situation escalating rapidly.

It seemed only a matter of time before it turned into a full-blown fight.

Neither of the leading Jonin, Hoshigaki Fuguki from Kirigakure nor Furoi from Kumogakure, made any move to stop it.

On the contrary, they seemed to enjoy the unfolding drama.

Despite their focus on each other, they remained aware of their surroundings.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Konoha intervened.

However, to their disappointment, Konoha showed no signs of intervening. In fact, many Konoha ninjas were watching from a distance.

Were they just here for the show?

Both Jonin felt a wave of irritation.

"Yo, this looks lively!"

At that moment, the Iwagakure team arrived.

The leading Jonin, Kitsuchi, smiled at the sight of the confrontation between Kirigakure and Kumogakure.

As for the ninjas he brought, they were also eager spectators, occasionally egging them on.

Faced with this unexpected turn, the Kirigakure and Kumogakure ninjas calmed down.

They exchanged cold glances and stopped arguing.

Not long after, the Sunagakure team led by Jonin Pakura arrived.

"Is Sunagakure out of options? Sending just one female ninja?"

Hoshigaki Fuguki glanced at Pakura, a bit surprised.

"What? Underestimating female ninjas?"

Pakura wasn't one to be trifled with. Her gaze towards Hoshigaki Fuguki turned sharp.

"So what?" Hoshigaki Fuguki retorted.

"Then let me show you that female ninjas are not to be underestimated!"

With that, a blazing fireball appeared in Pakura's hand.

The surrounding people immediately felt a wave of scorching heat, causing many to change their expressions.

Furoi from Kumogakure and Kitsuchi from Iwagakure didn't dare delay and quickly led their teams to retreat.

Just as the two were about to clash.

"Stop, both of you!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared between them, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opening, the three black tomoe within particularly striking.

This is...

The Sharingan!

Unexpectedly, they saw the legendary Sharingan!

The newcomer was Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan and the Konoha Police Force.

"Hmph!"

Seeing an Uchiha, Pakura coldly glared at Hoshigaki Fuguki for a moment before dispersing the fireball in her hand.

"The Chunin Exam is about to start. Everyone, follow me!"

With that, the storm subsided.

Once the participants from various villages had mostly arrived, the Chunin Exam finally began.

At this moment.

The exam room was crowded with people.

A rough count showed over eighty participants. The five major villages occupied the majority of the spots, with only a few from smaller villages.

Standing among the crowd, Tenya scanned the surrounding ninjas, noticing several with faintly concealed auras.

Whether it was his imagination or not, these ninjas gave him an inexplicable sense of pressure.

It's worth noting that Tenya now possessed the strength of a Special Jonin, and those who could pressure him were at least of the same level.

In other words, some of the people present already had the strength of a Special Jonin or even higher.

These concealed auras came from ninjas of the five major villages.

Looks like Kakashi was right.

This Chunin Exam was clearly different.

For the five major villages to simultaneously choose to cheat was unprecedented.

It was evident that the upcoming exam would be a bloodbath.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Tenya spotted a familiar face in the Kirigakure team.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was—

Kisame Hoshigaki!

A future member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wielder of Samehada, member of the Akatsuki, and Itachi Uchiha's partner.

However, currently, Kisame Hoshigaki was still a young boy.

He had a long way to go to reach his future prowess.

Sensing Tenya's gaze, Kisame Hoshigaki turned his head.

Their eyes met.

A pair of cold, emotionless eyes stared back at Tenya, as if seeing a prey.

His sharp teeth parted slightly, revealing a faint, sinister smile.

"I wonder how much of his peak strength Kisame Hoshigaki has now."

Tenya stared at him for a while before averting his gaze.

Compared to Kisame Hoshigaki, the other concealed auras in the Kirigakure team posed a greater threat.

Scanning the other village teams, he didn't see any more familiar faces.

While Tenya was observing other ninjas, they were also scrutinizing the Konoha participants.

Most of the looks were unfriendly.

Tenya even sensed no fewer than ten hidden killing intents.

Clearly, Konoha had become a target for everyone!

Looks like things will get busy!

As the participants murmured among themselves, a ninja entered the room.

Leading the group was a Konoha Jonin, Tenya's former team leader.

Shinku Yuhi.
