#45 - Chapter 45: Pharmacist Kabuto Ninja Card

"Naruto is here? How come I didn't see him?"

Kiba Inuzuka scanned the nine people one by one, and when he finally saw Naruto, he scrutinized him for a long time. Suddenly, Kiba shouted and pointed at Naruto, "I know, you're Naruto's older brother, right?"

Naruto: "......"

This is getting more and more outrageous!

"Kiba, that's Naruto!" Sakura said helplessly.

"How is that possible? Does he have anything to do with Naruto?"

Kiba looked disbelieving, then looked at Hinata, "Hinata, how did you recognize Naruto? Other than looking a bit like Naruto, this guy is nothing like him!"

"This... well... I can feel it, he's Naruto," Hinata said, her cheeks slightly red, and cautiously.

Although Naruto's personality has changed a lot, Hinata trusts her intuition!

Of course, the most important thing is that Hinata noticed this change in Naruto during the ninja academy graduation exam.

And later, the team assignments... Hinata has been paying attention to Naruto.

So she is very clear that the silent, extraordinary young man in front of her is Naruto!

"What? Feeling?!"

Kiba completely didn't understand Hinata's statement.

Can you recognize people by feeling?

"Okay, instead of guessing randomly, let's just ask Naruto," Ino interrupted the chaotic group and asked Naruto, "Naruto, who was our teacher at the ninja academy?"

Naruto glanced at Ino and said blandly, "Idiot."

"......"

The scene was quiet for a second, no one expected that Naruto would directly call Ino an idiot!

Sakura seemed to have recalled some unbearable memories!

It seems that Naruto also called her that on the day of the team assignments?

"You dare to call me an idiot?!"

After the silence, Ino went crazy!

She bared her teeth and brandished her claws, trying to beat Naruto to vent her anger, but she was held back tightly by Shikamaru and Choji.

"Okay, don't worry about such details at this time!"

"Yeah, yeah, everyone is a classmate, we have to take care of each other during the exam later!"

"Who wants to take care of this dead last? Among the nine of us new graduates, his grades are the worst, who takes care of whom is not certain!"

"That's enough, you guys!"

Just as the nine people were arguing, a man wearing glasses walked over, "You are the new generation, right? Looking cute and noisy, really, it's not like going on a picnic!"

"Who are you? Why are you bothering us?" Ino, who was already very unhappy, directly retorted when she saw someone daring to cause her trouble at this time!

"I am Yakushi Kabuto."

Although he was retorted by Ino, Kabuto Yakushi still maintained a friendly attitude, "Rather than that, you should look around first!"

"Around?"

Everyone looked around and found that the nine of them had attracted the attention of all the other examinees!

Some people were staring at them with malicious eyes!

This gave them the feeling of being stared at by a pack of wolves!

"Those people behind you are from Amegakure, they are very impatient. Everyone is anxious before the exam, so I warned you before you caused any trouble!"

Looking at the people who were intimidated by him, Kabuto Yakushi showed a helpless smile, "Ah, really, seeing you rookies reminds me of myself in the past!"

Kabuto Yakushi looked very kind and spoke very considerately to these rookies, which immediately attracted the goodwill of everyone except Naruto.

"That... are you Kabuto-senpai?" Sakura asked uncertainly.

"Yes," Kabuto Yakushi smiled slightly.

"May I ask if you are taking the Chunin Exam for the second time?" Sakura asked.

"No, it's the seventh time!" Kabuto Yakushi shook his head and said.

"Seven times?!"

Except for Naruto, everyone was a little shocked.

"The Chunin Exam is held twice a year, and this year is my fourth year participating in the Chunin Exam."

Kabuto Yakushi always spoke with a smile, without the feeling of frustration from failing so many times.

If Naruto didn't know that Kabuto Yakushi took the exam so many times to collect information, he would have admired the other party's willpower.

"In that case, Kabuto-senpai must know a lot about the Chunin Exam, right?" Sakura said excitedly.

"Well, you could say that!" Kabuto Yakushi smiled.

"Knowing so much about the Chunin Exam, but still can't pass it?" Shikamaru teased.

"Ahaha, it's a bit embarrassing," Kabuto Yakushi scratched his head and smiled, seeming a little embarrassed, but he didn't seem angry at all because of Shikamaru's teasing.

Seeing that Kabuto Yakushi was not angry at all, Shikamaru also had some goodwill towards him, "Is the Chunin Exam that difficult? This is getting more and more troublesome!"

"It still depends on the person, it's just that I'm relatively weak."

Kabuto Yakushi comforted him, then took out some cards and said, "As my lovely juniors, let me give you some help!"

"With this Ninja Info Card!"

"Ninja Info Card?"

"Simply put, it is a card that uses chakra to turn information into a mark and then burn it onto the card!"

As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi knelt on the ground and placed a stack of cards on the ground, "In order to cope with the exam, I have collected a lot of information over the past four years. I have prepared about two hundred of these cards in total!"

As he spoke, Kabuto Yakushi opened the top one, revealing a blank front.

"It looks blank, but if you use my chakra..."

The card was pressed by Kabuto Yakushi under his left index finger and kept rotating, and then his right hand formed a hand seal, and with a bang, the information inside was revealed.

"Amazing! What information is recorded in this?" Sakura asked in surprise.

"The total number of participants in this Chunin Exam and the participating countries, and also the number of examinees from each ninja village!"

Kabuto Yakushi then asked, "Why do you think ninjas from various countries participate in the Chunin Exam together?"

Everyone didn't know, even Naruto only had his own understanding, and couldn't be sure that his answer was correct.

Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi explained: "First of all, it is to deepen the friendship between countries, and secondly, it is to jointly improve the abilities of ninjas, but..."

"But?" Sasuke asked.

"But the real purpose is to determine the ninja level of neighboring countries! Try to balance the power of each country, so as to achieve a state of equilibrium," Kabuto Yakushi said.

"Equilibrium?" Shikamaru asked in confusion, "Why do such troublesome things?"

"For survival! If you don't do this, weak countries will soon be swallowed up by strong countries, and may be unilaterally enslaved!"

Kabuto Yakushi explained, "The so-called equilibrium is also a mutual restraint!"

"Are there any cards with personal information recorded on them?" Three people walked over not far away, and the leader asked Kabuto Yakushi.

"It's you three?" Sakura was a little surprised to see Neji and the others.

"Long time no see, Sakura ~"

Rock Lee waved his hand to say hello to Sakura, but Sakura ignored him and silently hid behind Sasuke and Naruto.

Rock Lee: "......"
