The moment arrived swiftly.
Uchiha Sasuke finally encountered Yakushi Kabuto.
Before the written test of the Chunin Exam, all the Genin participating in the exam would gather in the preparation room, and among them naturally was Kabuto.
Unfortunately…
The preparation room was crowded and noisy with many people.
However, Kabuto was extremely active in the preparation room, proactively approaching Uchiha Sasuke, almost as if he knew Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun."
With a stack of Ninja Technique Scrolls documenting the participants of the Chunin Exam in his hands, Kabuto pulled out Uchiha Sasuke's scroll and said with a smile, "In my Ninja Technique Scroll, you're considered the strongest person in this Chunin Exam..."
"Hmph..."
"For me, it's just a boring walkthrough exam..."
Uchiha Sasuke felt that Kabuto was deliberately mocking him. As the third-generation leader of the Root, he joined the Chunin Exam with a group of Genin and was still rated as the strongest Genin…
Doesn't that sound ludicrous?
"I still want to see some powerful ninjas during the exam..."
Uchiha Sasuke ignored the Ninja Technique Scroll nonsense; his eyes were fixed on Kabuto as he spoke in code, full of seriousness.
"You'll let me see them, right, Senior Kabuto?"
"..."
Kabuto's smile suddenly became playful.
This kid delivered himself to me!
Did he know about my hidden strength, or did he know that Lord Orochimaru had also infiltrated this Chunin Exam!
"..."
Kabuto stared at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him.
After a long time, Kabuto couldn't help but curl his lips into a mysterious smile, nodding with a grin, "Of course… I can."
This kid is truly walking into a trap...
It's perfect...
He was also searching for a new vessel for Lord Orochimaru!
This kid's talent and power, even his handsome appearance, all meet the requirements to become Lord Orochimaru's new vessel. He will hand over Uchiha Sasuke's intel to Lord Orochimaru, hoping that Lord Orochimaru can bring some more interesting events to the Ninja World!
"That would be even better."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded in satisfaction.
The first round of the Chunin Exam, the written test, soon began.
For other ninjas, this was an exam testing cheating and willpower; especially for Naruto Uzumaki, it was sheer torture. However, for Uchiha Sasuke and those who had already taken the Chunin Exam before, it was merely familiar territory.
Uchiha Sasuke was more curious about Karin and Kabuto, especially Karin, who was dressed shabbily, her eyes somewhat dazed while doing the test, looking like a completely different person from the Karin in the real world.
Anyway…
He would soon find out.
After all, after the first exam, the second would be battles between ninja squads. Karin would undoubtedly reveal her true colors, especially with Kabuto willing to help connect him with the hidden Akihara Kagura…
Hmm…
Everything was moving in the direction he hoped.
If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps he could return to his own world today. Should he properly deal with his teammates before leaving?
The Kakashi and Naruto of this world weren't doing too well...
After all, during this time, this world's Kakashi Hatake took good care of him, and his relationship with that idiot Naruto Uzumaki wasn't bad either…
After the first written test concluded.
All the Genin who had passed the test rushed to the venue for the second exam, the Forest of Death. Uchiha Sasuke continually scanned his surroundings, waiting for Akihara Kagura to appear, but he sensed an unsettling familiar dark Chakra nearby.
"Hmm?"
Turning his gaze, Uchiha Sasuke saw a Hidden Rain Ninja wearing a straw hat, whose stature was quite large.
Possibly aware of Sasuke's gaze, the Hidden Rain Ninja lightly lifted his hat, revealing a sinister smile, licking his lips with his tongue.
That familiar action…
Uchiha Sasuke immediately recognized the person's identity.
Wasn't that Orochimaru?
Orochimaru was truly persistent, appearing even in this world? Or could it be that Akihara Kagura was here, hence Orochimaru emerged?
Whatever.
The appearance of Orochimaru was also beneficial.
He was also someone closely connected with Akihara Kagura.
Uchiha Sasuke's gaze swept back and forth, quickly bypassing Orochimaru, as if he didn't pay him any mind, still fixated on the positions of Karin and Kabuto.
"Hehehehe… little kid from the Uchiha clan..."
Orochimaru, appearing to have discovered something amusing, spoke in a low, sinister voice, "It seems this time I can obtain an excellent vessel…"
Perfect…
Seizing the opportunity during the Forest of Death's second exam, he could thoroughly evaluate Uchiha Sasuke's talent. He had long desired a vessel with the Sharingan!
The second exam was focused on capturing the Heaven and Earth Scrolls. Each team held either a Heaven Scroll or an Earth Scroll, and they would need to battle other teams to capture the scroll they needed and reach the central tower in the Forest of Death to pass.
Therefore…
Battle in the Forest of Death was mandatory for all Genin!
