Naruto in Infinity

After returning to the central tower of the Death Forest, Xia Li came to the top of the tower and looked at the bright moon, his thoughts flying for a while.

From an emotional point of view, he definitely wanted to save the Third Hokage.

Xia Li didn't want to care about the reputation of the Third Hokage in his previous life. He only knew that the other party was good to him, and he also cared about him sincerely, giving him Flying Thunder God and many resources to improve his strength.

Although the price was to worship Jiraiya as a teacher, but can that be considered a price...

Besides, he said every day that Sasuke's brother was an ungrateful wolf. Now if he chooses to stand aside when he is capable, then what qualifications does he have to say? It's just the pot calling the kettle black.

And from a rational point of view, is standing aside a good thing? Not necessarily.

After all, from the perspective of interests, Xia Li thinks that it is best for the Third Hokage to survive. After all, Xia Li is still young now, and there is no conflict of interest with the Third Hokage. On the contrary, the other party can escort his interests.

Moreover, the purpose of the Third Generation to wait for him to grow up should not be too obvious. The only disadvantage is that if he really becomes the Hokage, the Third Generation will probably become an advisor, and the indecisive character of the Third Generation will indeed be troublesome.

But in general, the benefit of the Third Generation surviving now is definitely far greater than death for Xia Li.

Perhaps, not changing the plot is also an advantage?

But Xia Li can't remember too much, and only remembers some of it at some memorable nodes, and in fact, he has changed the plot long ago.

Because if he was afraid of changing the plot, he would not be so powerful in the Anbu. Didn't his work in the Anbu have an impact? No, it just hasn't been highlighted yet.

What's more, Sasuke has no intention of joining Orochimaru now, and Xia Li doesn't plan to give Sasuke to Orochimaru later.

Since so many changes have been made, is there something wrong with your brain if you still want to not change the plot?

Although it seems that there are not many changes now, this world must have gone to another path.

All these things made Xia Li's heart more determined. He followed his heart and tried his best to save the third generation.

As for Konoha Village...

Xia Li was a little silent. His initial thinking did not include the interests of Konoha Village. After all, he was a "selfish" person who only cared about himself and the people around him. So he was silent after the third generation said that rule.

Xia Li really didn't expect that the third generation would really care about this rule and pay for it. If not, would Orochimaru really be able to trap the third generation in the Four Purple Flame Formation?

If he was not trapped, could he kill the third generation with just the imperfect Reincarnation? Not to mention the far ones, the nearest Seven Gates Kai could make Orochimaru eat a pot!

So, Xia Li stretched out his hand and looked at the moon through his fingers. Is he really suitable for the position of Hokage as he is so selfish?

Not necessarily. Xia Li's eyes flashed. If he was Hokage at that time, Konoha would become his private property. How could private property be allowed to be touched by others?

No, Xia Li frowned. So, he should work hard for this now, and try to minimize the damage to Konoha's manpower. Wouldn't it be better to take over a complete Konoha at that time?

It seems to make sense, but...

Forget it, Xia Li nodded. He also found that he had such an old problem, that is, he always liked to think too much, and now he hasn't even started yet.

Besides, his current strength is not enough, so he needs to work hard to become stronger. He doesn't want to be a Hokage trapped in that position.

And the only thing that can support his idea is strength.

But it will be soon. After this matter is over, he should be able to start learning fairy arts. This is also the last opportunity he can think of to make rapid progress.

The amount of chakra should be barely enough, and the perception has long reached the requirements, which is the last step.

Xia Li estimated that even if his fairy mode is not as perfect as Naruto, the protagonist, it should not be a half-finished product like Jiraiya.

Xia Li was still looking forward to his own Sage Mode. What would it be like?

After thinking about everything, Xia Li returned to the tower and quietly waited for the end of the second round of exams.

…………

"Finally here, it was so troublesome along the way." Shikamaru said lazily while looking at the central tower in front of him.

"In this case, we have passed the second round of exams." Ino said a little happily, and this brought her closer to Xia Li.

"Yeah, yeah!" Choji also nodded happily while eating snacks, especially since these snacks were given to him by Ino, he ate them even more deliciously.

"Well, it should be successful if we open the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll at the same time." Shikamaru said.

"Okay, Shikamaru, let's open them together." Ino took out a scroll with the word Heaven, and Shikamaru also took out the scroll with the word Earth.

Soon, the two scrolls were opened at the same time and placed on the ground.

"This is..." Shikamaru looked at the handwriting on the scroll and revealed a look of realization.

The next moment, a white smoke rose, and at the same time, a figure appeared at the intersection of the heaven and earth scroll.

"Well done, Ino. Of course, Shikamaru and Choji." Xia Li looked at the three people with a smile.

"I can feel that I and Choji are extremely perfunctory just by listening to it." Shikamaru said with a pout, and then looked at Ino who rushed up in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh, it always feels so difficult.

After working so hard for so long, the result is that Ino meets her boyfriend? It's a bit raw!

"How did you feel along the way?" Xia Li held Ino's hand and asked with concern.

"Well, fortunately, there was no danger. Generally, dangerous things were avoided by Shikamaru in advance." Ino couldn't help but look at Shikamaru. With him around, even the Chunin Exam felt like it was really easy.

"Well, Shikamaru is really smart." Xia Li nodded, and he still recognized Shikamaru's brain.

"No matter how smart you are, there is no way without the corresponding means. The reason why it is so simple is that Ino and Choji are very powerful." Shikamaru said.

Although Ino and Choji didn't say anything after hearing this, they also smiled.

Xia Li looked at Shikamaru and then smiled as well. As expected, he was the only ninja in the original work who became a Chunin after the interrupted exam. Shikamaru really had the qualifications.

"Okay, take a good rest. I guess the second round of exams is not over yet." Xia Li said after glancing at the people in the tower.

"Are there too many people?" Shikamaru also saw that there were a lot of people in the tower.

"Yes, after all, the third exam will be watched by the daimyo and some high-ranking officials, and the participants must be the elite among them. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for any village if two ninjas with three-legged skills were seen by the daimyo." Xia Li said.

"Tsk, trouble..." Shikamaru sighed again after hearing this, why is there so much trouble when it comes to his exam.

Ino and Choji also looked solemn and concentrated on resting, but Shikamaru's eyes twitched a little when he saw their way of resting.

Choji was still normal, eating snacks crazily there, but Ino was there and being affectionate with Xia Li, is it considered resting?

Well, Shikamaru soon saw the arc on Ino's body. As far as he knew, Ino did not have lightning escape, so it was Xia Li's masterpiece, and he could not compare, not at all.

Shikamaru looked away and started his own way of recovery. Even though he kept saying it was troublesome, he was still working hard.

He didn't want to be left behind so far by his former partner, even though he was probably only with his partner's shadow clone at that time.

Then, many people entered the tower one after another, including Team 7 where Naruto was.

"Xia Li! You are here too!" After Naruto came in, his eyes lit up when he saw Xia Li, and he shouted from a distance, completely ignoring the ninjas from other ninja villages around.

"Hey, did you see Teacher Iruka?" Xia Li also greeted Naruto.

"Yes, Teacher Iruka said he would treat me to Ichiraku Ramen later." Naruto scratched his head and laughed.

Sasuke and Sakura also followed, looked at Xia Li and nodded, indicating that they had not encountered any major problems along the way.

"Okay, you should take a break, there will be tests later." Xia Li said, and then said goodbye to Ino temporarily. After all, he was not a candidate, and it was not good to stay with the candidates all the time.

Shikamaru also came over and told Team 7 his guess, which made them all stunned. Are there too many people passing through the Death Forest?

Shikamaru, the culprit of all this, couldn't help but look at Naruto. If Naruto hadn't made such an inspiring speech in the first exam, there wouldn't be so many people who passed the first round.

If there weren't so many people in the first round, the competition in the second round would be more cruel, and more people would be eliminated, and there probably wouldn't be another round.

However, because of Naruto, the number of people in the second round increased, and the difficulty of the test was reduced a lot.

Just a drink and a peck.

When the second round of the exam was over, as expected, as Xia Li said, a make-up exam was conducted to screen out more people, using a random matching method.

After the special ninja Gekko Hayate, who looked terminally ill, introduced the rules, the second extra game officially began.

Xia Li also came to the audience at this time, looking at the names on the big screen in the field.

The first game was a battle between Sasuke and a ninja named Sulfur Copper.

Xia Li didn't remember this battle at all, so it was probably a bit of a supporting role.

However, Sasuke was still a little embarrassed by the opponent's ability for a while, but only a little bit.

Soon, Sasuke won with the new physical technique Lion Combo.

"Lion Combo? It seems that he met Xiao Li before." Xia Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Li over there. He saw that the other party looked at Sasuke with a serious look, as if he didn't expect that his physical technique would be learned like this.

Xia Li thought of the result of the battle between Xiao Li and Gaara in the original work. Although Xiao Li at this time was stronger than in the original work, he was also limited. After all, the accumulation of physical skills was much slower.

Xiao Li now can probably open the five gates more easily, but it is still useless. Gaara's absolute defense is too restrained for a pure physical ninja like Xiao Li. Most of Xiao Li's attack power will be worn away by sand.

Unless Xiao Li can open the sixth gate to play the Peacock with attributes, but Xiao Li now can't open the sixth gate. Even if he opens it, he can't use the Peacock, so...

Xia Li thought and looked at Might Guy. Later, when they meet, he still has to tell Might Guy in advance about the special nature of Gaara's attack.

If Might Guy in the original work knew that Lee would become like that after being attacked by Gaara, he would definitely not take action to stop him until the very end.

Similarly, the other jonins were also in a difficult position to stop Xiao Li when he did not admit defeat. Moreover, in their opinion, the legs and feet wrapped in sand were at most just fractures, and they would recover in a few days.

Their lack of understanding of Gaara made them not think of the horror of the sandstorm, which was an attack that directly crushed all bones.

However, Xiao Li's condition at that time was also due to the lack of timely treatment. If Xia Li could treat him in the first place, it would be much easier when Tsunade came back to take over, right?

However, it is better not to suffer such hardships.

As Xia Li sighed, two more battles were played below, and Shino and Kankuro both won. At this time, two names appeared on the screen again.

"Yamanaka Ino vs Haruno Sakura!"
