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

Page 49

The goal is to spend time with the children, so fighting should be avoided if possible. Well, if Momoshiki were to appear, that would be a different story.

The reason Naruto and Sasuke did Xue's makeup was because they had seen the family photo.

Xue'er's hair was tied into a long, straight ponytail, with the tied part tucked into her collar, giving her the appearance of straight black hair like an itachi.

Samui applied makeup to her delicate face, subtly adjusting her facial features through outlining.

A single adjustment may not show any change, but when combined, they magically transform into the face of another beautiful girl.

It's pleasing to the eye.

"Samui's makeup skills are truly amazing..."

Samui wore a black leather sleeveless bodysuit with gold thread, her curvaceous figure changing shape as she moved around the dressing chair.

"If we don't hone our skills, these expensive luxury cosmetics won't show their true value."

The eyebrow pencil she was using to draw Xue's eyebrows was worth 40 taels each, and all kinds of models were available, with a whole box costing 500 million taels.

This is just the cost of the eyebrow pencil alone.

Not to mention that makeup is a comprehensive art, including eye makeup, lip makeup, base makeup, and even makeup for special areas, each with a wide variety of tools.

The items displayed on Samui's dressing table alone are conservatively estimated to be worth no less than 3500 million taels, equivalent to 1.16 heads of the Earthly Realm.

This was the first time Xue'er had ever worn makeup, and she couldn't help but worry: "Auntie, will this makeup smudge during battle?"

"Don't worry, this is all cutting-edge technology and hard work. Once the makeup is set, it can't be washed off with water."

Samyi smiled, picked up a bottle of setting spray that cost 60 taels of silver, and sprayed it on Xue'er's face.

"Okay~".

"Auntie, I want to draw too!"

Xiaoyue said in her childish voice.

After applying classic Japanese-style makeup to Xiaoyue, Samui also did her own makeup, changed into a black evening gown, and covered half of her face with a veil under her hat. From a distance, she looked like a well-maintained and well-proportioned noblewoman.

With everything prepared, we arrived at the courtyard of the mansion, which boasted a large swimming pool.

Madara and Obito were dressed in samurai robes, with samurai swords at their waists, and wearing the Red Oni Mask and the Blue Oni Mask respectively.

Their identities at the Chunin Exams were those of samurai bodyguards hired by the wealthy tycoon Chen.

Even Chen himself had his chakra concealed by the 'Extinction Technique,' so it was impossible to detect unless he made a move.

Ban said, "We've finally come out of this door."

Obito said, "Try to understand. Samui didn't sleep half the night in order to cover up the Edo Tensei cracks on our clothes."

Ban said, "No, I'm not complaining, I'm just reflecting. It's amazing how people can be so bored as to delve into so many things outside of battle and spend so much time on them. I didn't understand it before, but now I think I understand it a little better."

"But some things, even if you understand them, are hard to agree with!"

That's right, a battle maniac like you would never understand this kind of enjoyment in life.

Obito imagined to himself: If I were going out on a date with Rin, I would gladly wait for her even if she spent the whole day putting on makeup, hehehehe.

Nadeshiko, Kaze, Hana, and Kansuke stood respectfully.

Hua: "Wow, after Xuemei put on makeup, she looks just like Snow White from the storybook."

Feng: "I actually still think Xue Mei looks better without makeup."

Incidentally, Kaze and Hana are twins, a boy and a girl.

The wind follows Dad's black hair, and the flower follows Mom's blonde hair.

The two left Kumogakure before they were six years old and followed Samui to Ankugakure. Now they are twelve years old and their appearance has changed a lot, so there is no need for them to wear makeup.

Hua will not be a contestant in this hidden competition, but she will go with the adults to watch.

As for Ganju, he was curious about who the beautiful aunt named Futsuko, who had been standing behind him, was, and why he had never seen her before.

After everything was ready, the group arrived at the gate of Peach Blossom Spring.

Xiao Nan had been waiting here for a long time.

Also waiting there was Kakuzu.

Kakuzu said resentfully, "Shadow, you've been here for so many days and haven't come to see your old friend. I had no choice but to swallow my pride and come to you!"

Chen, leaning on his walking stick, stepped forward and said, "Don't mention it. I was just worried about delaying your chance to make money. You've put in a lot of effort regarding the Dark Hidden Village's qualification for the competition, but I really didn't expect you to get it done in half a day."

"Hmph~, that good-for-nothing lord of the Bird Country is easy to deal with in a minute."

"I'm sorry to trouble you and Xiao Nan with the affairs of the village."

"Ah, I'd be so grateful if that woman just stopped creating any more unplanned expenses for me."

Xiao Nan pretended not to hear and formed the hand seal to open the gate to Peach Blossom Spring.

"Go ahead, and wish the three young warriors of the Dark Shadows a resounding victory."

"Thank you, Aunt Xiaonan x2!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As the children passed by, Kakuzu took off his money-smelling black gloves, patted Kansuke's head gently, and said kindly, "Be confident, I have faith in you~ The true future star of Dark Shadows."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Kakuzu!" Kansuke nodded shyly.

If you ask why Kakuzu treats Kansuke differently, it's because Kansuke has been selected as a model of thrift in Ankugakure for three consecutive years.

He found Gansuke extremely pleasing to the eye, and even took time out of his busy schedule to teach him several of his signature ninjutsu techniques.

It's like Wind Release: Pressure Damage.

Thunder escape · False darkness.

Fire Escape·Head hard.

Water Escape: Water Curtain.

Earth escape·Earth spear.

If it weren't for the explicit prohibition, Kakuzu would really like to teach him the Earth Grudge Technique and take him in as his godson.

Kansuke inherited his father Yamato's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, creating his own unique bamboo transformation.

Furthermore, he possesses six chakra nature transformations.

Looking at Ganju's small figure from behind, Kakuzu had a monologue in his heart.

I'm serious, Gan-suke, it's not that I'm favoring you. In this era where the descendants of monster ninjas roam freely, you have the potential to become the [King of Ordinary Ninjas].

You don't need to compare yourself to those around you who are destined to grow into monsters, or the offspring of monsters. Just position yourself as an ordinary ninja, and you will eventually shine on this path!

Good boy, I believe in you!

Chapter 68 Exam Day, Irikonoha

Stepping out of the Peach Blossom Spring Gate and activating his space-time ability, he instantly arrived at the deep mountains outside Konoha.

That was because Chen had Bai Jue scouted the area beforehand to ensure they wouldn't encounter visitors from other villages.

According to the new rules of the Konoha Chunin Exams, contestants and spectators will enter through the main gate and east gate of Konoha, respectively.

"Next, let's split into two groups. Nadeshiko, you take the children to Konoha to report and settle in."

Nadeshiko said softly, "Yes, Lord Shadow."

Before parting ways, Chen spoke to the three little ones, expressing his high hopes for them.

"Don't hold back, just show your best. Winning or losing isn't important; what's important is not leaving any regrets or remorse. This experience will be an important one in your lives."

Snow, wind, dare to help the voice to rise.

"Understood! Father!"

"Understood! Uncle!"

"Yes, sir!"

After watching Nadeshiko lead the three children toward the East Gate, Chen led his entire family to the main gate of Konoha.

The line of people waiting to enter the village had already stretched into a long queue.

"Wow! So many people! It's so lively!" Xiaoyue said excitedly, holding her older sister Xiaohua's hand and eating a candied hawthorn.

The Chunin Exams following the Ninja Wars involved all five major ninja villages participating simultaneously, resulting in a number of participants several times greater than in the past.

Xiaohua was already drenched in sweat, thinking to herself, "Oh my god! My social anxiety is about to kick in!"

"If my mom hadn't said she'd cut off my allowance if I didn't come, I'd rather stay home and play video games (?﹏?)!"

Ban asked, "Dust, do we have to queue here too?"

"No need." Chen Ruya took out a gold pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time.

9 points.

"They should be here soon."

Before long, Konoha's special Jonin, Yamashiro Aoba, squeezed through the crowd and jogged over. Holding a photo, he looked it over and compared it before coming to Chen's side.

Slightly out of breath, he asked, "Excuse me... are you Mr. Morgan?"

Chen smiled slightly, leaning on his walking stick, and a deep, middle-aged voice came from below his beard: "Exactly."

This was a skill he learned from Yamato in his spare time: to control his vocal cords at will to produce different timbres.

"May I verify your identity document first?"

Chen nodded, and Guang, who was beside him, released his arm and, with his white gloved hand, took out a gold-plated and diamond-encrusted identity card from a limited-edition handbag at his waist and elegantly handed it over.

This is a unique identification document used by nobles and celebrities from various countries.

Yamashiro Aoba took the document with both hands, took out the identification device from her waist, and entered the identification code on the identity letter.

It is indeed Mr. Morgan himself.

After handing back the letter of identification, he respectfully said, "Mr. Morgan, I am Yamashiro Aoba, a special Jonin of Konoha. I received your letter in advance regarding your attendance at the Chunin Exams, and I have come to welcome you on the orders of the Hokage!"

"Please follow me to the special passage!"

Yamashiro Aoba turned and led the way.

Upon seeing this, whispers arose among the people queuing.

"A Jonin from Konoha personally came to greet him. Who is this Mr. Morgan?"

"You're so ignorant! That's a top-tier conglomerate in the ninja world! They have private banks in all five great nations! It's said that a significant portion of the annual operating funds for the five great ninja villages comes from this Mr. Morgan!"

"So it's the God of Wealth! No wonder!"

We arrived at the entrance to Konoha Village through a special passage.

Yamashiro Aoba said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan, the Hokage is busy and can't make it to meet with you personally!"

There's no way I'd get a meeting with him; it was just a polite gesture.

In such a grand event involving the entire ninja world, only the Daimyo can be received by the Kage.

It is extremely rare for a high-ranking ninja to be sent to personally greet a wealthy and famous person.

At this moment, Yamashiro Aoba sized up Mr. Morgan's entourage.

I was immediately struck by the stunning beauty of Hikari and Samui, dressed as elegant ladies.

This is incredible… Mr. Morgan sounds to be nearly 50 years old, yet there are two such young and beautiful women… Ah, though they may not necessarily be his wives, and there may not only be the two in front of him.

It's really worrying, I wonder if his body can handle it?

The kids are adorable.

But this little one is old enough to be his granddaughter, right?

Finally, Yamashiro Aoba's gaze shifted to the masks of the two tall samurai behind Morgan, and he frowned.

"Excuse me, Mr. Morgan, who are these two?"

"My personal bodyguard."

Yamashiro Aoba said tactfully, "Mr. Morgan, it's like this. Konoha has a long-standing rule that during the Chunin Exams, we will verify the identity of visitors wearing masks and report them. So... would you two be allowed to remove your masks?"
