For most of the following month, Yagyu stayed in the short road town, training and teaching Karin some ninjutsu. Coincidentally, Karin's chakra nature, like Yagyu's before graduation and also like Sakura's, consisted of Yin, Yang, Water, and Earth.
Because of this, if Karin had been developed properly, she could have rivaled Naruto and Sasuke in strength, at least before they ascended to ...

After using Sakura to create the illusion that he was out training, Yagyu quietly left a sign at his door that read, "Out training, leave a message if ...

Temari VS Tenten!
"Huh… Shikamaru, I seem to have gotten a bye," Choji remarked.
"Yeah, congratulations," Shikamaru replied dryly.
"Mm, I'll ask my dad for a reward when we get home," Choji said ch...
2024-10-27 02:17:45 +0000 UTC View PostJust like in the original story, Rock Lee's initial attacks couldn't break through Gaara's automatically defending sand. Other than Team Guy and Team 7, no one had much regard for this genin who could only use taijutsu, lacking both ninjutsu and genjutsu.
However, when Lee removed his weighted gear, smashing the ground and kicking up huge clouds of dust, all those who had doubted him were...
2024-10-26 05:57:46 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to Yagyu holding back, Neji Hyuga didn't suffer any severe injuries. Under Yagyu's treatment, his pale complexion quickly regained color, though Neji didn't wake up right away, likely due to chakra exhaustion. Hayate Gekkō summoned medical personnel to take Neji away on a stretcher for rest.
Meanwhile, Yagyu returned to the viewing platform.

Staring at the massive wave crashing down on him, Neji Hyuga's eyes widened. He didn't even have time to be shocked by Yagyu's one-handed seals. Neji immediately spun, releasing chakra from all of his body's points, executing the Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven, a technique only taught to the main family but which Neji had learned through his own genius.

Just a moment ago, he was still wondering if the original matchup between Hinata and Neji was just a coincidence. Then, in the next second, he was paired against Neji Hyuga himself.
There was no doubt now. Yagyu's suspicions were correct—the pairings in the original story were manipulated, and they were still being manipulated now.
However, i...

Kenshin Misumi vs. Kankuro.
Like Yoroi Akado, Kenshin Misumi was one of Orochimaru's spies planted in Konoha, and one of Kabuto's two teammates.
However, this particular spy didn't seem very bright! During his fight against Kankuro, he shamelessly used his body modification technique, ma...

First, there were the 12 rookies, who alone took up twelve slots.
Because of Kiba Inuzuka, his two teammates also passed the second exam, bringing the total to 14.

"Hehe… I almost got taken out, but luckily Yagyu arrived just in time."
Just as Yagyu finished healing Sakura, Hinata and Shino appeared with a swift movement.
Hinata immediately checked on Sakura's condition, using her Byakugan to examine the flow of chakra in her body, making sure there were no internal injuries. Fortunately, aside from some chak...

Staring at Kin, who was embedded in the tree trunk, her life or death uncertain, Dosu and Zaku couldn't help but swallow hard.
If you looked closely, you could see beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads and near their temples.
They weren't terrified by Kin's dire state but by the jutsu Yagyu had just used.

"That's just how they are," Karin responded. "Both my mother and I were outsiders, and Kusagakure never trusted people like us. When they sent me here to participate in the Chunin Exams, I was already prepared to die."
"Did you have a Jonin supervising you?"

When she finally woke up, it was completely dark outside. However, the forest at night wasn't cold, as a warm sensation continuously flowed from nearby.
Turning her head, she saw a campfire burning next to her, with sizzling meat roasting above it.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice reached her ears as a hand skillfully fl...

Yagyu left home and headed to the usual meeting spot for Team 8, joining Shino Aburame and Hinata on their way to the Forest of Death.

As Ino, Hinata, and Sakura went off to chat, Shikamaru Nara, walking in with his hands behind his head, greeted Yagyu.
Taking a glance at the other examinees around, who looked wary and fearful, with some even having tear-streaked faces, Shikamaru quickly understood what had happened. "Looks like you gave them quite the scare."

The next day marked the third day of their break.

"Understood," Haku nodded obediently.
