In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

... ..... ...

Putting everything else aside, this forest should have no shortage of food.

The only worry is getting poisoned.

"Hinata."

Xia Mu, who was walking at the front, smiled and called out the team members' names.

"Hi!"

Hinata's clear voice came from behind her, as if she had rehearsed it countless times.

"Byakugan, activate!!!"

With the viewing distance infinitely increased, the movement of chakra among the surrounding examinees became clearly visible.

"There are four groups closest to our group. Two groups to the southeast are engaged in battle. The group to the north is moving away, and there is a squad to the northwest, hiding in ambush on the treetops."

Hinata slowly reported what she had seen, then suddenly her eyes narrowed and her expression turned serious:

"Another team has appeared, and one of them possesses an unusually large amount of chakra. They are chasing the team heading due north at an extremely fast speed."

A massive amount of chakra?

There should only be three people with such a large amount of chakra in this exam.

One of them is Orochimaru, who disguised himself as a female ninja from the Grass Village.

The other two are Jinchūriki: Naruto Uzumaki and Gaara.

But Xia Mu wasn't afraid of any of these things.

"Then let fate decide, and let's randomly select a lucky team."

As he spoke, Xia Mu took out a coin and tossed it up.

"We'll launch a surprise attack on the ambushing team in the northwest from the front, and then wipe out the two fighting teams from the rear. Once we've established ourselves, we'll pursue the team heading due north."

The coin slowly rose to its highest point, then fell straight down.

112: Gaara gets a head pat!

Under the dense shade of the trees, the two groups of people were fighting each other, but because they were evenly matched, neither side could gain the upper hand, and they were locked in a stalemate.

"Xia Mu, these two teams below are so weak. Apart from the basic Three Body Techniques, they don't know any other ninjutsu."

"Should I go down and take them out?"

From the treetop, Kiba Inuzuka eagerly offered his suggestion.

Xia Mu flipped a coin and got tails, so they chose to pursue the two squads that were fighting.

"Quiet! Let's just watch the show and wait until they're tired of fighting before going down and collecting their scrolls, okay?"

"Come, eat some fruit."

As she spoke, Xia Mu tossed an apple over.

Taking the apple, Kiba Inuzuka asked in confusion, "Where did this apple come from?"

"My sister prepared it for me."

"Oh, it's Ms. Kurenai Yuhi. Oh my god, your sister is too kind!"

"Unlike my older sister, Inuzuka Hana not only didn't help me prepare ninja tools, but she also took away all the military rations I had prepared."

"They say the Chunin Exams are to test your true strength and you can't bring extra stuff. How infuriating! Aren't your own assets also part of the '383' strength?"

Kiba Inuzuka was genuinely envious, munching on the fruit as if it were someone else's.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't give you these."

Xia Mu took out a large pile of fruit, ate some himself, and fed it to Hinata in his arms.

"Natsuki-kun, there's too much. I can't eat anymore."

Hinata's face was flushed as she patted her bulging belly, which had been filled by Natsuki's feeding.

I ate ten bowls of rice at home before leaving this morning.

"Oh, okay, then I'll leave it for next time."

Natsuki nodded, took the fruit back, and rubbed Hinata's stomach.

On the other side, Kiba Inuzuka unknowingly witnessed another round of PDA.

He secretly vowed that he would find a girlfriend after the Chunin Exams.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, Akamaru beside him called out softly.

Kiba Inuzuka gave it a questioning look. "You wouldn't happen to want to be my girlfriend, would you? Akamaru, that's a dangerous idea. Do you even know what a girlfriend is?"

However, the next moment, they realized that Akamaru was staring at the two groups of people fighting on the ground.

It turns out that these two groups of low-ranking ninjas, who were just minor characters, suddenly stopped fighting.

They found that their strengths were roughly equal and that it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time. In order to prevent others from launching a sneak attack, they decided to temporarily make peace and look for other targets.

You are the weakest. Find other targets. Can you handle it?

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but complain, just as he was about to go down and finish them off.

Xia Mu threw down a kunai.

"call out!"

A loud whooshing sound rang out, precisely severing the hair of a tall man below.

This startled both sides, who had just shaken hands and made peace but were still wary of each other.

next moment.

"Damn it! They weren't serious after all, kill them!"

"They used a clone to deceive us and broke their promise."

"Kill them."

"Bullshit! The guilty party is the first to accuse you. You were the ones who started it."

"Stop wasting time talking to them. This time, we'll make sure they never see the sun rise again."

Immediately, amidst a fierce exchange of insults, the two teams clashed again.

This time, his temper flared, and every move he made was deadly.

Before long, blood was drawn on both sides, resulting in casualties.

"This... Natsuki-kun, I've suddenly realized that you're quite cunning too."

After witnessing such a dramatic scene, Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but turn around and admire it.

Xia Mu ignored his teammates' teasing and instead turned his gaze to the other side of the ground:

"Watch out, a terrifying guy is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling murderous aura rose up in the woods.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

The yellow sand flowed rapidly across the ground, instantly forming a pair of enormous hands that strangled one of the two combat squads on the ground.

"what happened?"

"Enemy attack!"

The members of the two fighting teams stared in horror at the approaching enemy.

A group of two men and one woman, led by a red-haired boy, emerged from the forest without any attempt to conceal their presence.

It was Gaara's squad from Sunagakure.

"Even trash should die!"

Behind the dark circles under his eyes were a pair of bloodshot, bloodthirsty eyes.

A surging killing intent swept over them.

One of the ninjas, who was the first to be hit, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"This is beyond our capabilities, run!"

The two teams immediately sensed the terrifying strength of their opponent and scattered like birds and beasts.

He frantically fled in the direction away from Gaara.

"Sand and gravel rain!"

A hoarse voice, as if from hell, echoed, and above the fleeing ninja, countless grains of yellow sand rapidly coalesced into individual pebbles.

The next moment, it suddenly crashed down like hail.

Blood blossoms flew everywhere.
