Chapter 461 - Chapter 461 has been patched; you don't have to use it, but you can't be without it.

I saw this scene on the large screen with a black border.

  Hiashi Hyuga's face turned ashen.

  He knew... it would turn out this way.

  Although... even if it really happens, he can't change it.

  Moreover, I'm not really resistant to it.

  but...

  I'm just not happy.

  Suddenly, both were gone.

  Moreover, they were all extremely pure eye-rolling.

  Damn it!

  Naruto Uzumaki, born evil, with black-rimmed glasses!

  ...

  ["Hinata~"

  "Let's go."

  Hinata had just stepped outside when she saw Ino and Sakura already waiting there.

  She smiled faintly and stepped forward, joining the two women as they headed to the arena, the location of the third exam.

  Meanwhile, Naruto also set off.

  [Erzhuzi, who came along to freeload, was with him.]

  Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

  [Afternoon.]

  Everyone who was supposed to come has come.

  The spectator stands for the third round of the Chunin Exams are now completely open.

  Countless ninjas and civilians poured in.

  Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the head seat.

  [Look at the figure below, chewing a toothpick.]

  He nodded involuntarily.

  [Very good, at least we've changed the examiner and judge.]

  [By the way, where has Moonlight Hayate been all this time?]

  Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi's bespectacled secretary stepped forward and placed several scrolls down.

  [A few words whispered.]

  Hiruzen Sarutobi is being praised to the skies again.

  Even when utterly exhausted.

  [He continued reviewing the scrolls despite the presence of many onlookers.]

  [Perfect timing, it's time for everyone to see this too.]

  This Hokage was truly dedicated and hardworking.

  A good Hokage who is devoted to the village.

  [Third generation, now old, are they still capable of fighting?]

  The answer is yes!

  With that thought in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi worked even harder.

  [Below.]

  [Behind the arena, the fighters' preparation area.]

  [Whoosh—]

  [Genma Shiranui arrived in an instant.]

  [Glance around.]

  His gaze lingered on Naruto's face for a moment.

  Then, with a toothpick in his mouth, he casually put his hands in his pockets.

  Then, with a smirk, he changed the direction of the toothpick.

  ["So."]

  "Everyone, have you all remembered your order of appearance?"

  "After you go out through this door and see the person return, the next player can take the stage."

  "After the opening ceremony, the participants in the first match will be able to enter the arena."

  "Alright, that's all I wanted to say."

  "Please wait a little longer."

  [Whoosh—]

  [The words fell.]

  Genji Shiranui then vanished in an instant.

  The other proctors also left.

  Naruto looked at the spot where Genma Shiranui had left.

  [Somewhat surprised.]

  [As far as he knew, Genma Shiranui also had Raido Namiashi and Iwashi Tatsubo; the three of them formed the Flying Thunder God Genma Squad.]

  [He was a bodyguard of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.]

  [As a guard.]

  [Naturally, he is more familiar with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, than the average person.]

  [That look in her eyes just now, she definitely recognized me.]

  However, to Naruto's surprise, Genma Shiranui didn't seem to have any other ideas.

  Her eyes quickly returned to normal.

  It's not that he doesn't care about it.

  [The Flying Thunder God Technique requires the combined efforts of three people to perform; calling them guards would be giving them too much credit.]

  [His main role was as a bodyguard to the Fourth Hokage.]

  Clearly, given Minato Namikaze's personality, it's unlikely he would have any misunderstandings or disagreements with them.

  [Naruto was already used to recognizing him but pretending not to.]

  What surprised him was that Minato Namikaze, after his resurrection, hadn't contacted them even once.

  It seems... Minato Namikaze's transformation, influenced by Kushina, is indeed quite significant.

  Of course, Naruto was only slightly surprised, and his attention was quickly diverted.

  If it is a true and complete resurrection.

  Perhaps Naruto felt slightly different about Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

  However, he was resurrected using the method of creating a clone.

  [Similar to how the big fox uses a clone of a little white creature to achieve an alternative form of resurrection.]

  Therefore, strictly speaking...

  The soul has found a completely new vessel.

  [More precisely, it's not a complete soul, but rather a shadow clone with chakra and memories.]

  [A completely new vessel, with no blood relation whatsoever.]

  [Naruto's true parents.]

  At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki's soul resides in the Pure Land.

  [Minato Namikaze's soul is still inside the stomach of the Shinigami who appeared after he used the Reaper Death Seal.]

  Okay, the patch is installed.

  [The match list for the third exam.]

  [Match 1: Naruto Uzumaki vs. Hinata Hyuga]

  [Match 2: Nara Shikamaru vs. Tenten]

  [Match 3: Rock Lee vs. Shino Aburame]

  [Fourth Match: Uchiha Sasuke vs. Gaara]

  [Toss has a bye.]

  [Tos is finished.]

  Ignore him.

  [Hiruzen Sarutobi looks at the match list.]

  [I just can't suppress the urge to smile.]

  There are nine people in total.

  Seven of them are from Konoha.

  The difference in strength is so obvious, it's almost like a precipitous cliff.

  Those powerful and wealthy people are just rich, not stupid.

  [Later, I will travel between Sunagakure, Konoha, and other smaller ninja villages.]

  There's no need to overthink which village to choose for the mission.

  This is the true purpose behind Konoha's hosting of the Chunin Exams.

  [in this way. ]

  The Sand Village is on the verge of financial ruin, almost driven to the brink by its so-called allies.

  What's even more terrifying is that if Konoha produces a Chunin this time... Sunagakure doesn't have one.

  Within the Land of Wind, employers might choose to seek out employers from afar, rather than staying close by.

  This is the most fatal flaw.

  If this continues...

  [Sunagakure is destined to be at the bottom.]

  [It might even... be worse than other small villages.]

  [He was ultimately abandoned by the daimyo of the Land of Wind.]

  [It was then swallowed up and replaced by other rising small ninja villages.]

  [...]

  [The contestants are preparing indoors.]

  Naruto looked at Hinata, whose face was full of confusion, and patted her head helplessly.

  "Are we really going to fight?"

  "Is it the same as usual?"

  Hinata shook her head.

  "I don't want to... I absolutely don't want to fight Naruto-kun..."

  Hinata's voice was very soft.

  [Tian Tian, ​​standing to the side, said with a face full of envy:]

  "I also want to fight Naruto-kun."

  Then, he glanced at Shikamaru, who was dozing off.

  Tian Tian sighed.

  [Her fight against Shikamaru...it's practically bullying him.]

  Shikamaru has absolutely no motivation.

  [Since changing our combat methods.]

  [Tian Tian's combat power is skyrocketing.]

  [And so... she naturally became much more belligerent.]

  On the other side.

  Gaara sat on a bench with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

  Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

  [He first glanced at Hinata and Tenten.]

  [He thought to himself, "My perception that day was indeed correct."]

  [Then she looked at Sasuke, who was standing to the side with his hands in his pockets.]

  "Uchiha Sasuke."

  "I don't want to hurt you, so just admit defeat."

  [Uchiha Sasuke: "???"]
