Chapter 77 Before the Assessment
ps: Thanks to Yeyu Hanshan for the 100-coin reward
"My name is Tiantian, and I want to tell you that Ningci is the first in our class."
Tiantian, the 'Chinese-style' girl standing next to Ningci, also said with a smile.
Her sight kept moving back and forth between Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke, after all, in terms of appearance.
Menma and the other two were not inferior to Ningci at all. For a handsome man, let alone other things, at least for girls, it was a very pleasing thing to look at, wasn't it?
Tiantian was also a little jealous of Sakura standing next to the three.
As for the two 'Konoha Gate Gods' who were in everyone's sight just now, they took this opportunity to quietly leave. Among the people present, except for Menma, no one noticed.
"Oh!? The first place winner of the last term? Do you want to compete with me? I welcome you very much. Hey, you don't have to call me Master or anything like that. Just call me by my name."
Naruto on the side might be a little slow at other times, but his reaction in this regard is extremely fast.
Almost as soon as Neji finished speaking.
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he said with an eager expression.
Jizhuzi felt that the other party was provoking him, and his expression became very gloomy.
He was almost ready to lose his temper.
"Okay, Naruto, now is not the time for you to waste time. The Chunin Exam is about to start. Let's go."
Menma also stepped forward in time and said these words gently.
"Oh."
Not only Naruto.
Even Sasuke's momentum stagnated.
Although there was no clear words, in the past few months, no matter what mission was carried out, Menma had always been in a position close to command. When Kakashi often let it go, Menma gave instructions for the execution of the mission of Team 7. Over time, the other three members of Team 7 also developed the habit of following Menma's command.
Although Sasuke still felt a little uncomfortable with his personality.
But on the one hand, Menma's command was never wrong, and on the other hand, Menma wanted to be better than himself.
Sasuke chose to acquiesce.
"Although you graduated only a year earlier, you can be considered a senior. It seems that Neji-san and Lee-san are very familiar with us. We will not introduce ourselves. If the two seniors want to fight, this is not the right time and place. The next step is the Chunin Exam. I think there are plenty of opportunities, right? Then, we will be rude first, the three 'seniors'"
Menma smiled lightly, turned around and took the lead to step towards the stairs.
Nizhuzi also snorted lightly, glanced coldly at Neji and Lee, and followed.
"Menma is right. If we want to fight, this exam is indeed the most suitable stage. Let's see the truth in the exam, Neji-san, Lee-san."
Naruto also smiled and waved his hand, followed by Sakura and stepped upstairs.
"Uzumaki Menma, Namikaze Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke? It seems that this Chunin Exam will be very interesting."
Ningci looked at the backs of Menma and others leaving, and a different bright color appeared in his pupils.
Menma, who had already left, naturally didn't know that Neji's fighting spirit was also fully aroused. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. It's still the same sentence. Menma now treats all people and affairs in Konohagakure Village with the most indifferent attitude.
As long as they are not the limited few and those who will stop him in the future, the rest of them are indifferent in Menma's eyes.
Stepping up the floor.
Arriving at the door of the real 301 classroom.
Menma and his four companions pushed the door open and entered.
What came into view was a huge group of people. These people also subconsciously looked at the moment when Menma and his companions pushed open the door, but most of them turned their eyes back the next moment. Only a few of them looked at Naruto and Sasuke on both sides of Menma, and their eyes were fixed.
Special identities are often the easiest to attract the attention of others.
Although Menma's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has long been known to the whole ninja world under Sarutobi Hiruzen's ridiculous gag order, it is only known to people with a certain status. It is unlikely that the Genin will know what the so-called Jinchuriki is.
Therefore, these people are unlikely to pay too much attention to Menma.
Only one man with glasses and wearing a Konoha ninja forehead protector, who looked elegant and gentle, had a faint strange color flashing in the deepest part of his pupils when he saw Menma appear.
This elegant and easy-going man was naturally the most trusted and capable subordinate of Orochimaru - Kabuto Yakushi.
‘Team 7 is also here to participate in this Chunin Exam. It seems that we need to report to Lord Orochimaru in advance. ’
Kabuto Yakushi pushed his glasses, his eyes passed over Menma, and jumped directly to Sasuke on the right, thinking silently in his heart.
He himself was also thinking about finding an opportunity to contact Team 7. After all, collecting intelligence is his specialty.
On the other side.
What Menma didn't know was that Kabuto Yakushi had been eyeing him for a long time. When he entered the classroom, he seemed to be scanning everyone. Except for Gaara, Menma paid a little attention to him, but he just glanced at everyone else.
The real target of the search was Kabuto Yakushi.
When he saw Kabuto Yakushi in the crowd, he looked harmless and easy-going, just like a good man.
Menma couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed one of the strongest spies in the original work. With this acting skill, he was definitely a top figure in the huge ninja world.
To say something that is not exaggerated, if Kabuto Yakushi were in Menma's previous life, he would definitely win an Oscar for Best Actor in terms of acting skills.
This is also the most important reason why Kabuto Yakushi can act as a multi-faceted spy.
The most important thing is that this person is not just a strong spy. As a ninja, his personal strength is currently at the level of an elite jonin. Therefore, Menma can't look at Kabuto Yakushi more.
Such ninjas are very sensitive to any attention.
‘It’s enough to identify the person, and the next step is to find the right time. . . ’
Menma exhaled a breath of foul air and thought silently in his heart.
“You actually came to participate in such a troublesome thing, I thought only our class was recommended...”
Others would not care when they saw Menma and his group.
But there were still a few figures in the crowd who would take the initiative to approach Menma and his group after seeing them.
They were the six Genin from the eighth and tenth classes who graduated together as classmates.
Menma looked up and the first person he saw was Shikamaru Nara, who was approaching with a "very troublesome" expression on his face.
The ones following behind were naturally Choji and Ino.
