Chapter 892: I'm A Man
“Congratulations, you have passed my exam!”
On the podium of the large classroom, Ibiki revealed a grin more sinister than crying.
“Passed?” Naruto’s eyes widened, “You haven’t announced the tenth question yet.”
“You have already passed the tenth question.” Ibiki explained the content of the tenth question, and the Genin from Konoha suddenly realized.
However, Naruto frowned. He looked down at his blank paper, then glanced at Ibiki, feeling a bit confused, ‘So, what exactly was this exam testing?’
Meanwhile, Sasuke glanced at Naruto from the side, ‘I almost got dragged down by this stupid fool, hmph!’
As for the other villages’ Genin such as Suigetsu and Gaara in the back row, their faces showed disdain.
“It’s so fancy, but in the end, it's just a scare tactic! Hey, that examiner named Morino, your level is really low.” Suigetsu arrogantly put his feet on the desk, grinning provocatively at Ibiki.
The first exam had just ended, and Suigetsu couldn't wait to let loose.
‘This little brat…’ The smile on Ibiki’s slowly faded, and his expression becomes emotionless as he looked at Suigetsu.‘This bastard almost disrupted the tense atmosphere I had painstakingly created earlier, and now he dared to provoke me?’
‘Does he think I became the captain of the Interrogation Unit just because of my face?’
At this time, Anko, the head examiner of the second stage of the exam, burst in lively through the window.
Ibiki grinned maliciously, then walked straight to Anko and whispered something.
Suigetsu felt a wave of malice emanating from Ibiki and instinctively pulled his feet back.
Although he was outspoken, impulsive, and liked to fight, he was also a guy who always avoided trouble and was a bit timid. He had only dared to provoke Morino Ibiki earlier because the first exam had officially ended. But who would have thought that the proctoring examiners from Konoha would take care of each other?!
‘This is outrageous!’
Suigetsu's face turned blue.
“So, Suigetsu-san, that’s why I asked you to tone it down a bit.” Beside him, Haku looked at him helplessly, but even so, the gentleness of Haku’s face still made people… made men feel affectionate!
Orochimaru, who is sitting in the back row with them, grinned, ‘Anko, I didn't expect to meet you here under these circumstances. Interesting.’
On the podium, after communicating with Anko, Ibiki turned and left. When he left the classroom, he did not forget to leave Suigetsu with a meaningful and eerie smile.
Suigetsu felt depressed at that moment, secretly reflecting on why he was so outspoken?
But when he looked at Naruto, who was still standing in a daze in the front row, a surge of killing intent welled up in his heart, ‘Even if I’ll be eliminated, I would cut this little bastard into two halves first!’
“Everyone!”
Anko glanced at Suigetsu without changing her expression, and with her hands on her hips, she smiled, “I am the head examiner of the second stage of the exam, Mitarashi Anko. Now, follow me to the exam venue for the second stage.”
With that said, she flew out the window directly.
On the rooftop of the teaching building.
Kanpū eagerly asked: “Should we follow them?”
He knew that in the original work, Orochimaru appeared in the Forest of Death disguised as a Kusagakure’s Genin. But now that the plot had changed, he couldn't be sure whether Orochimaru would ‘come as promised’.
“No need.”
Hiruzen chuckled, “My Telescope Technique can see them from here.”
Kanpū rolled his eyes at this. However, since Naruto had his Flying Thunder God Kunai, as long as Orochimaru's figure appeared in the crystal ball, he could instantly teleport to Naruto's side.
But Minato couldn't stay here any longer. He looked at the sky and said with a smile, “It’s getting late, I have to go back to deal with official duties. Sandaime, Kanpū, I'll leave it to you here.”
‘As expected of the best NPC for more than a decade, he was indeed… incomparable!’ Kanpū nodded seriously, “Yes!”
Then, Minato left with the Anbu Commander, Eagle.
With the two leaving, Kanpū and Hiruzen are the only ones left on the rooftop, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
So Kanpū threw out today’s last Collection Technique, hoping to relieve this embarrassing and suffocating atmosphere a bit.
Unfortunately, the result of the collection was three consecutive failures.
‘This old guy really dares not give face to my Gekkou Clan!’
Kanpū was furious and decided not to talk to Hiruzen for the rest of the day!
He looked down at the crystal ball and saw Naruto and the others running behind Anko. It took them before over two hours before they finally arrived at the entrance to the Forest of Death, but now, a lot of them looked quite exhausted.
Because of that, Anko generously let the Genin examinees to rest for half an hour before she went to her examiner team and whispered to a certain Chunin Examiner.
“I guarantee you, she's definitely targeting me!” Suigetsu gasped for breath as he rested, glaring at Anko’s figure, feeling the urge to rush up and bite her!
“Suigetsu-san, don't think of people so badly, it's okay.” Haku spoke softly.
“It’s you who are too soft, man.”
Suigetsu looked at Haku up and down, then teasingly saying, “If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were a woman.”
“What are you talking about, of course Haku is a woman!” Naruto suddenly rushed over.
“You damn brat actually dare to come over!” Suigetsu got angry, then pulled out his fake Kubikiribocho without hesitation.
“I’m not here for you.”
Naruto rolled his eyes at Suigetsu, then happily went to Haku’s side and started licking, “Elder Sister Haku, you are so beautiful and gentle.”
Haku was startled, then showed a helpless smile, “Actually I…”
“Hey, little brat, get lost!! “A dissatisfied voice interrupted Haku.
Everyone turned to look, only to see Kankuro approaching arrogantly, exuding a strong masculine aura from head to toe.
That aura, so strong!!
“Hey, old man, what are you doing here?” Naruto said angrily.
‘You called me old man again?’
“I’m only 14 years old, you brat!!!” Kankuro pushed Naruto away and angrily said, “And also, stay away from Haku!”
Naruto stared at him in shock, ‘This old man… could he have fallen for Elder Sister Haku?’
Suigetsu looked at Naruto, then at Kankuro, suddenly burst out laughing, then laughed heartily: “You two idiots, fools, blind men! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! You can't even tell men from women, hahahaha, I advise you to give up early to avoid dying here, hahaha…”
Naruto and Kankuro were enraged after hearing this, but when they heard the rest of his words, they were dumbfounded.
‘Can’t even tell men from women?’
The two subconsciously looked at Haku.
The gentle breeze blew, lifting White's long hair, stirring the hearts of Naruto and Kankuro, as if willows were swaying over the clear waves… Then, Haku smiled and said gently, “Sorry, I am a man.”
“Ahhhh!!!”
Naruto quickly retreated twenty steps, looking at the beautiful ‘Elder Sister Haku' who exuded gentleness from inside out with disbelief, “You… you’re a man?”
Kankuro was even more shocked. His whole figure staggered back step by step, his expression was painful and grim, even his masculine aura was in disarray, “You…Haku, you…”
“Kankuro, I said not to do unnecessary things!”
Gaara’s cold voice came from behind, “Do you want to lose even more face?”
Kankuro stiffened all over, then under everyone’s weird gazes, he blushed and returned to Sunagakure’s team.
“Naruto, you better calm down too!”
Sasuke stood with his hands in his pockets, looking deeply moved, “Being a Shinobi isn't a dating game, don't fall for every girl you see.”
“You bastard, who's falling for every girl?! I'll beat you up!” Naruto was furious, then rushed towards Sasuke and stood right in front of his face.
But in the next moment, both of them seemed to remember some scenes they shouldn't have remembered, and instantly retreated like they were shocked by electricity.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and growled, “Stay away from me, you pervert!”
“You are the pervert!!” Naruto clenched his fists, feeling desperate and hopeless. He actually gave his first and second kiss to a man, just thinking about it made him despair!
After half an hour of these people being noisy, the second stage of the exam officially began.
Anko first introduced the rules of the ‘Heaven' and ‘Earth' scrolls for the second stage of the exam, and then let the captain of each them come forward to receive the scrolls.
When it was Haku’s turn, Anko took out a special scroll.
“There is definitely a problem with this scroll!” Suigetsu took the scroll from Haku’s hand, opened it, and saw the word ‘Heaven' written inside.
This is the Heaven scroll.
Haku said with a bitter smile, “Suigetsu-san, you're overthinking it.”
“There must be something strange!” Suigetsu remembered Morino Ibiki's eerie smile before leaving, and his scalp tingled.
“Alright, everyone, next you will enter the Forest of Death one by one. Remember, to pass the exam, you must collect the Heaven and Earth scrolls within seven days and reach the central tower with your entire team!”
