Chapter 43: Is there really a fool who dares to block the door before the finish line?
With so many soldier pills, Kizaru was confident that he could restore his Haki cultivation to its peak in a short amount of time.
Moreover, he finally had the power to protect himself.
The improvement in strength brought about a change in his mindset.
Kizaru had a new idea: since he could now survive in this dangerous Ninja World, it was time to let his original title, "Kizaru," shine throughout the entire Ninja World.
He wasn't worried that this would expose his secret.
The reason was that he had already devised a perfect plan, absolutely flawless!
Having been in this world for so long, he had noticed that powerful Ninja in this world, besides their names, all had their own titles: "Konoha's White Fang," "Yellow Flash," "Konoha's Pot King," etc... Wait a minute, it seems... something strange got mixed in there, what the hell is "Konoha's Pot King"?
He always felt there was a great deal of karma associated with that title.
Never mind that for now, in short, in this world, there are "personal" titles.
So, for him to take the title "Kizaru" is absolutely not excessive!
Moreover, in the original Pirate World, Kizaru was just his title; his real name... what was it again?
Why did he feel like he couldn't quite remember it?
Oh, right, it seemed to be Borsalino... He used his title so much that he almost forgot his real name, which he rarely used.
Kizaru secretly glanced at Sakura and Sasuke on either side. "Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei's title is 'Copy Ninja', right? Why don't we come up with our own titles too?"
Sasuke:???
Sakura:???
Kizaru: "What are those expressions on your faces? It's just coming up with a title, that's all."
Sakura was truly amazed by her teammate's wild imagination and his lack of common sense. "Don't you know that titles are given by others? Who gives themselves a title?"
Kizaru looked up at the sky, a proud expression on his face. "How can I, Kizaru, be like those ordinary people? Of course, I have to come up with my own!"
"Kizaru???" Sasuke and Sakura exclaimed in unison, looking completely bewildered!
"Of course it's Kizaru! This is the title I've given myself!" Kizaru said as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "You two remember, from now on, you have to call me [Kizaru]!"
Sakura helplessly spread her hands. "Alright, alright." She agreed, but with a hint of impatience.
Kizaru glanced at the two. "You two can also come up with your own titles."
Sakura turned her face away. "Who wants to come up with something like that? It's like having chuunibyou, so embarrassing!"
Sasuke tilted his head and said, "Then let's call it [EZZ]~"
Sakura's face fell, and she looked at Sasuke in disbelief. "Sasuke-kun, this..."
"What's wrong?" Sasuke looked at Sakura in confusion.
Sakura stared blankly at Sasuke's current state.
At this moment, Sasuke... his delicate face held confusion, innocence, and a touch of natural cluelessness.
It was absolutely adorable!
Sakura immediately had no objections. "As long as Sasuke-kun thinks it's good!"
As for Kizaru, he found the name a bit strange!
[EZZ] Why choose such a title full of letters? Usually, titles with letters carry a hint of mystery.
Is this guy trying to act mysterious?
Never mind him, I'll just keep calling him Er Zhu Zi!
Wait a minute... Er Zhu Zi, [EZZ], in his memory, these three letters seemed to be... the pinyin initial abbreviation of the three characters 'Er Zhu Zi' in the language of a certain powerful country?
Indeed... is it still Er Zhu Zi?
...The Death Forest is, after all, not a place for cultivation.
Although most of the Ninja here are Genin, there are still dangers.
Especially... Orochimaru, that guy, is still hiding somewhere in this forest, and no one knows where.
With such a powerful and mysterious enemy hiding in the shadows, capable of launching a fatal attack at any moment, daring to cultivate here is no different from seeking death.
The most important thing now is to quickly reach the tower at the finish line and end this perilous Chunin Exams.
Only then can he have free and enjoyable, exhilarating cultivation!
"Next step..." Kizaru raised his right hand high and pointed sharply in a certain direction. "To the finish line!"
Er Zhu Zi quickly said, "Wait, Naruto, now is not the best time to go to the finish line..."
Kizaru's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at Er Zhu Zi with a frosty expression, letting out a soft snort!
Er Zhu Zi immediately understood. He quickly said, "Kizaru, Kizaru..."
Having been used to calling him Naruto, it was still a bit unfamiliar to suddenly call him Kizaru.
However, on second thought, this guy has yellow hair and a personality as jumpy as a monkey, so the title "Kizaru" is quite fitting!
"Why isn't it the best time?" Kizaru always felt that his brain had been acting up recently, constantly feeling like it was cramping.
Could it be... that the brain is not only affected by the soul but also by the body's hardware?
Then... how stupid must the original owner of this body have been!
That's not right either; clearly, this body learns Ninjutsu incredibly fast.
And the amount of Chakra is also terrifying.
This is clearly a protagonist template, so how could it be... all brawn and no brains?
Even more wrong!
Perhaps,
it's the way this body thinks about things that's wrong.
In other words... a peculiar way of thinking?
Sasuke looked at Kizaru in front of him with curiosity. He had some doubts: is this guy, who can't think of anything, really the same person as the powerful one who could make Orochimaru flee in disarray?
How could someone so strong not see such a simple reason?
"Nar... no, Kizaru," seeing Kizaru's expression about to change, Sasuke immediately corrected himself. "Everyone knows the conditions for passing this exam: collect the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, and then reach the central tower..."
"No problem!" Kizaru nodded.
"Then tell me, what will a Ninja team that has collected the scrolls do?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course, they'll go to the central tower," Kizarureplied without thinking, then suddenly he understood, "Wait, you mean..."
"Some Ninja teams will ambush near the finish line, ambushing teams that have collected the scrolls!"
Kizaru was shocked!
Are these little brats in the Ninja World really so devious?
Teenagers, still just Genin, are already so good at schemes and tricks?
Terrifying!
Sasuke nodded, his expression solemn. "Not only that, those who dare to ambush are confident enough in their own strength, and most of them haven't collected the scrolls!"
"Do you think there might be powerful teams that have collected the scrolls, but are deliberately guarding the finish line just to eliminate other competitors?" Kizaru thought of a possibility.
"Very likely!" Sasuke's heart tightened.
Kizaru was almost amused into anger~
There were dozens of Ninja teams when they entered, and even though many had been eliminated, there was still a huge number!
No way, no way, there can't really be any idiots stupid enough to block the entrance at the finish line, right?
