Naruto: Uchiha is not the Raikage!

The nobles sat in the uppermost seats of the audience, while the villagers and ninjas crowded into the seats on the left and right.

It could be said that the class system was strict.

Qing Si encountered nothing but small fry along the way, defeating them with a few simple moves.

Some even recognized Qing Si and chose to surrender directly.

"Is that a ninja from the Uchiha clan?"

Qing Si's dazzling performance naturally attracted the attention of the Fire Country Daimyo.

This time, the Daimyo had traveled a long distance to attend the ceremony.

Because even he was disturbed by the recent turbulent situation and eagerly wanted to know the new power of Konoha.

If the Fire Country were to be defeated, his interests would also suffer.

Those enemy countries would definitely greedily divide up the Fire Country's resources.

"Yes, that is Uchiha Qing Si."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not smoke on such a grand occasion today, and nodded.

"He's performing well. I hope the other examinees can do the same, so I can see the situation in Konoha in recent years."

"I won't let the Daimyo down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

Most ninjas do not engage in production; only genin do odd jobs.

Once they reach the rank of chunin or higher, they are almost exclusively involved in dangerous missions such as assassination, guarding, and infiltration.

The ninjas' economic income comes from the rewards of mission requests.

However, such income is unstable, and developing the village's economy requires funding from the Daimyo.

And with these ninjas, the Daimyo can develop the country with more peace of mind. It can be said that the two are in a cooperative relationship.

In other words, the Daimyo is their biggest task commissioning client.

"Uchiha Qing Si..."

Terumi Mei stood in the audience and gnashed her teeth as she looked at Qing Si.

Ever since Hozuki Mangetsu died, she had been working hard to cultivate, all to avenge her companion.

Terumi Mei cherished the companions who were born in the bloody Kirigakure.

Because of the policies, everyone schemed against each other and framed each other.

They were all cold ninjas like Hoshigaki Kisame, who smiled insincerely.

Terumi Mei didn't like this at all.

She had long been determined to change all of this, which is why she was willing to take the initiative to come to Konoha for the Chunin Exams.

It was to show her talent and prove herself in front of everyone, so that she would have a better resume after returning to her country.

She wanted to become the Fifth Mizukage and change all of this!

The current Third Mizukage is already old and frail.

The next Mizukage successor is likely to be the village's genius, Hoshigaki Yagura.

So what Terumi Mei wants to fight for is the next Mizukage, the Fifth Mizukage!

As a result, as soon as she left the village gate and arrived in Konoha, a cherished companion died right at the start!

All of this was ruined by that hateful guy Uchiha Qing Si.

The more Terumi Mei thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could knock Qing Si to the ground right now and make him pay the price for what he had done.

"Terumi Mei, be careful to control your emotions. This is not inside the village."

Kirigakure's Jonin leader, Biwa Juzo, said.

He was carrying a huge Kubikiribocho on his back.

"Yes, Juzo-sama."

Terumi Mei nodded, suppressing the emotions in her heart.

This man is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and she cannot but respect him.

"I'm really looking forward to fighting him."

Kaguya Katsura felt his bones boiling.

Only a strong person like Qing Si is worthy of him using "Shikotsumyaku" to fight!

"Next, Konohagakure Uchiha Qing Si versus Kirigakure Terumi Mei!"

Because there were more ninjas selected this time than in previous years, a ring system was adopted.

The victorious ninjas would get a certain amount of time to rest, recover their chakra, and then face the next one.

"Terumi Mei, huh."

In the middle of the field, Qing Si ate a soldier pill to restore his chakra.

He thought his opponent would be Kaguya Katsura or those from Iwagakure.

But Terumi Mei won't affect anything.

Seeing such a soft and charming woman, Qing Si decided to help her improve her strength.

After all, in the Five Kage vs. Madara, Terumi Mei's performance can only be described as indescribable, and she kept saying discouraging things.

And the best way to help someone improve their strength is to establish an object of hatred.

Coincidentally, Qing Si can also get an increase in his pupil power from Terumi Mei's reaction.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

"What are you laughing at?"

Terumi Mei, who jumped directly from the waiting platform near the audience seats, frowned slightly.

Qing Si's smile made her instinctively feel a sense of foreboding.

"It's nothing."

Qing Si shook his head.

"Uchiha Qing Si, do you want to continue resting for a while?"

The proctor looked at Qing Si.

"It's okay, let's start directly."

Qing Si rejected his suggestion.

This ring system used for the reform is indeed not good for those who stand in the ring all the time.

That little time is not enough to recover to full strength.

Qing Si knows, and he believes that the high-level officials and nobles above also know.

This Chunin Exam, to put it nicely, is a microcosm of countries fighting for their own country.

But to put it bluntly, they are just a group of gu worms.

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen himself said, a ninja's talent can only be stimulated in a desperate battle, and they must fight with their lives on the line.

The last question of the first written test round was also to test ninjas' fearlessness of death and courage to accept dangerous missions.

To put it bluntly, isn't this just being used as tools and consumables?

"Hmph, I won't show mercy."

Even Terumi Mei's sneering expression has a charming look.

Qing Si quietly looked at Terumi Mei.

This woman, who exudes a kind of charm from her bones, has a tight-fitting ninja combat uniform that outlines her nascent figure very well.

"Start!"

The proctor issued the order.

With an order, Terumi Mei formed the hand seals for Water Release.

"Water Release..."

Her cheeks bulged, looking full.

"Hidden Mist Technique."

Terumi Mei spat out a large cloud of mist, covering the entire field.

"Hehe, Uchiha Qing Si, now let's see how you die."

Terumi Mei couldn't help but smile as she thought about avenging her companions.

No one will investigate if someone dies in this exam.

From the beginning of the second exam, everyone signed, and Konoha cannot put pressure on Kirigakure for this.

Because Konoha agreed to this rule in the first place, and it is very common for deaths to occur between ninjas.

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it."

Qing Si returned with a smile.

Although he can't see Terumi Mei's face, Qing Si can feel that Terumi Mei is smiling.

The "Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique" is just a mere D-rank ninjutsu.

It can do things that many S-rank ninjutsu cannot do, which is to block the line of sight of the "Rinnegan"!

Qing Si's current Sharingan will naturally also be obscured by this mist.

Only the Byakugan can easily ignore this mist and directly lock onto the caster.

This is also why Kirigakure later tried so hard to snatch the Byakugan. After the Kirigakure Jonin Ao stole a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan's main family, he carried "Talisman: Protective Seal" with him 24 hours a day.
