Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

The two people behind him showed no intention of removing their masks.

"This..." Yamashiro Aoba hesitated.

Morgan's tone became deep and magnetic at this moment.

"When the two of them are protecting me closely, their hands will never leave their samurai swords, so you can take them off for them yourself."

“This… alright.” Yamashiro Aoba reached out and removed the red demon mask from the long-haired samurai.

When the hand was halfway out, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Gulp..." He swallowed hard, cold sweat trickling down his nasolabial folds beneath his sunglasses.

What's going on... this oppressive feeling of dense clouds without rain?

I have a feeling that if I take off this mask right now, something bad will happen...

Crows are birds that can foretell misfortune.

Aoba Yamashiro's summoned beast is a crow.

After a moment of inner struggle, he finally withdrew his hand.

Mr. Morgan is one of Konoha's biggest financial backers.

If we really cause unpleasantness, we will be the ones who suffer.

He adjusted his sunglasses, using a calm tone to conceal his lapse in composure: "No need. Since he's Mr. Morgan's personal bodyguard, he must be trustworthy."

"Oh, right. This is for you."

He took out a piece of gold cardboard from the pocket of his ninja outfit.

"Mr. Morgan, this is your special guest certificate. With it, you can enter and exit Konoha's top business travel agencies and sit in the specially designated VIP seats when watching the game."

"Thank you for your kindness." Chen nodded, and Samui stepped forward to take it.

"Alright, please enjoy the local customs and culture of Konoha. I wish you a comfortable and pleasant trip. I'll take my leave now!"

As Yamashiro Aoba left, she thought to herself.

This tycoon is truly extraordinary; he exudes an aura of nobility that even famous people lack.

"Hmph, he's smart enough to know his place. If he had actually taken off my mask just now, I would have had no choice but to ask him to dance."

Madara's voice came from beneath the red demon mask.

Obito asked with great interest, "Chen, what's the deal with your Morgan?"

The streets of Xirang were bustling with people.

Chen leaned on his walking stick, his steps unhurried, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

“Morgan, my identity in the dark world, ‘Ross,’ is a matching light identity, used to attend certain public and formal occasions.”

Madara asked, "You've also invested in the Five Great Ninja Villages? Do you have too much money to spend?"

Chen laughed and said, "Money that sits there doing nothing is just a bunch of meaningless symbols. But if it starts to circulate, it will generate power, the power of capital."

"The power of capital can naturally resolve many things that even ninjutsu cannot resolve."

"Not everything can be resolved by force."

"The intervention of capital can make things smoother and more tactful, allowing us to use our energy in more efficient ways."

"Whether it was the Akatsuki organization in the past or the Kara organization today, they all made a lot of money in their early stages of development, and that's the reason why."

Ban seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

After coming to Chen's side, he witnessed the diversity of this world.

The world he once defined was actually a narrow cage imbued with his strong individualism.

He himself was also one of those who were imprisoned.

"The first and second rounds of the Chunin Exams are held indoors and will not be open to the public. The third round, the finals, will be held outdoors. In the meantime, let's relax and have some fun."

Chen turned around and smiled.

"Well, for the two of you, it's like returning to familiar territory."

spot:"……"

Obito: "..."

Registration area for contestants.

Snow, wind, dare to help.

The three children did not specify their surnames in the application.

After signing the participation agreement, I received their participant permission certificate.

Among the five great ninja villages present, some genin who were born with a sense of superiority began to whisper among themselves.

"Look, those three kids' headbands, I've never seen them before."

"It seems to be called the Dark Ninja Village, a village that was just established in the Land of Birds this year."

"The Land of Birds? What kind of godforsaken place is this? How dare a low-ranking ninja from such a desolate village come to participate in the Chunin Exams?"

"What three ignorant brats!"

"That's right! In our Hidden Mist Village, a kid like this who looks so weak wouldn't even graduate from the Ninja Academy!"

Ignoring the gossip, the three of them found three empty seats next to each other at the contestants' table and were about to sit down.

The three members of the Cloud Village group walked towards us.

The leader, Yurui, stood with his hands in his pockets, blowing bubble gum, and said in a cold voice.

"Hey, you country bumpkin! That seat over there is ours!"

Chapter 69 Exam Day, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

As soon as Yurui finished speaking, all sorts of gazes were cast into the not-so-large players' room, most of them gloating and waiting to see what would happen.

Haha, a country bumpkin from a remote village has run into the arrogant Cloud Village! This is going to be interesting!

As the three men with fierce eyes and taller than average children approached, Ganju instinctively felt a chill: What should he do? Kumogakure is a legendary great ninja village. These guys must be very strong, right? Losing a fight would be a small matter, but bringing shame to the village would be a big deal.

Looking at the leader, Yurui, Feng's handsome face was filled with unspoken thoughts: Yunyin, huh? Although my childhood memories have faded, I still remember that because of my father's status, Xiaohua and I suffered a lot of cold looks and exclusion.

Looking at that face, that stomach ache came back up again.

However, I don't like to argue with people.

If it comes to taking action, I wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

Feng's face was cold as he quietly reached for his waist, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the true backbone of the three, his younger sister, the hidden princess, Uchiha Yuki!

Xue was already seated in the middle seat, arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at Yurui and saying, "You said the seats are yours, but we're already sitting down. What are we going to do?"

"!" Yurui frowned. He had thought that a bunch of unknown genin from an unknown village would scare them and then slink away and give up their seats.

I never expected them to dare to stand up to them!

He was at a loss for what to do. According to the latest rules of the Chunin Exams, if a fight breaks out before the exam, the organizers will disqualify the party who starts the fight.

At that moment, Xue's gaze fell on the bull's head ornament around Yurui's neck, and a thought struck her.

"That pendant around your neck, if I'm not mistaken, is it the Eight-Tails?"

"There shouldn't be many in Kumogakure who are qualified to wear this ornament. So, you're Killer Bee's disciple? A candidate for the next Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"

These words immediately enraged Yurui.

You wild brat, who do you think you are? How dare you address Lord Bull Demon and Master by their names!

It was just a seat, I could have let it go, but now...

"You think I'm being too nice to you?!" Yurui transformed into a roaring younger brother and immediately threw a punch.

Xue's lips twitched almost imperceptibly: Father said that the people of Yunyin were all short-tempered and easily angered, and he was right. Now, we are the ones in 'self-defense,' and we have a legitimate reason to fight.

She was about to raise her arms, which were crossed over her chest.

"Snap!" A hand slashed from the side and grabbed Yurui's wrist.

The owner of the hand glared at Yurui with his azure eyes and said, "Hey, they were the ones who sat down first, why are you causing trouble!"

"Huh?" Yurui chewed his bubble gum, glancing sideways at him. "Where did you come from, you pineapple head?!"

"What pineapple head? My name is Boruto! I can't stand people bullying others!" Boruto said righteously.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, teammate Troy whispered, "Yuruy, let's forget it. We're actually in the wrong here. It'll be bad if they find something to use against us..."

Yurui was actually quite scared of his impulsive actions earlier.

If I were disqualified before the competition, it would become a laughing stock.

"Tch!" He used brute force to shake Boruto's hand away and pulled his hand back.

Their eyes were drawn to each name in turn.

"You, you, you, all three of you, and you too, I've remembered you all. If we run into each other in the next exam, you'd better get what's coming to you!"

After saying that, he left with his teammates Tarui and Troy.

Boruto rubbed his slightly sore hands and asked Yuki with concern, "Are you alright?"

Boruto… I’ve heard this name from my father. Is he the son of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki?

Xue crossed her arms, looked up, and said, "I'm fine. But your hand must be hurt, right?"

Boruto laughed and said, "It's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a little while."

Xue raised her chin and said, "It's not your palm. I've seen you clutching your wrist several times since you came in. Were you already injured?"

"!" Boruto was startled, then subconsciously clenched the metal plate on his wrist.

Xue lowered her eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "Thanks for earlier."

"Huh?" I looked up and saw that Boruto had already walked away.

How strange, this guy is sometimes a social butterfly and sometimes a social phobic...

Boruto returned with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Sarada teased, "What, you rescued me, and I don't appreciate it?"

Boruto said, "What do you mean by 'thank you'? I just can't stand seeing people bully those weaker than me!"

Mitsuki smiled softly, "Boruto-kun, you've made a formidable rival. That Yurui is actually very strong. It's said that he already has the strength of a Chunin or higher, but he missed a year of training with his master. This time, he's competing as a seeded player from Kumogakure."

"Forget about seeds~. None of them are a match for me!" Boruto said confidently, backed by scientific ninja tools containing hundreds of ninjutsu techniques.

Unaware of the truth, Sarada adjusted her glasses and smiled admiringly: "Not bad, I approve of that spirit~ Keep it up!"

The loudspeakers in the contestants' room announced the call to action for the first exam.

The brief incident quickly faded from public attention, and the contestants left in groups to head to the examination venue.

One person went outside but didn't move around immediately. Instead, he jumped onto the roof and stared at the snowy figure in a daze.

By the way, he was wearing a headband from Sunagakure and had red paint patterns on his face.

His name is Shinki, the adopted son of Gaara, the Kazekage. He possesses the same Sand Magnet Release as the Third Kazekage, is the seeded player of Sunagakure this year, and is also Gaara's chosen successor as the next Kazekage.

In the original timeline, during the final round of the Chunin Exams, Shinji once pushed Boruto to the brink of defeat. Boruto used the power of scientific ninja tools to unleash 'Purple Lightning', which allowed him to finally defeat Shinji.

This clearly demonstrates Shinki's formidable strength.

Teammate Yoto, who had jumped onto the roof with him, followed his gaze and asked, "Shinki, are you concerned about those people?"

Shinki said, "Don't you guys find it a problem? The three people from Ankugakure, especially that girl from earlier, were able to casually mention the name 'Killer Bee,' who was a Jinchuriki like our adoptive father back then."

"Moreover, she was clearly doing this on purpose to provoke them and force them to make the first move."

"This insight, boldness, and composure don't seem like those of a low-ranking ninja from an unknown village."

Another teammate, Araya, said, "Aren't you overthinking it?"

"Hopefully," Shinki said cautiously. "In any case, we must pay extra attention to the Dark Trio; they could become a major obstacle for us in our quest to win the championship representing Sand!"
