Just as everyone was stunned by Kabuto's shocking revelations about Jiryoku, a thick cloud of smoke parted to reveal the unexpected arrival of Ibiki Morino, accompanied by a group of highly skilled Konoha ninjas. The first round of the exam began immediately after Ibiki thoroughly explained the rules and expectations to the aspiring Genin. Time flew by, and before they knew it, the first round was over, accompanied by Naruto's firm proclamation, "I refuse to give up, even if it means remaining a Genin for the rest of my life. This unwavering resolve is my true ninja way."

After the first round of the Chunin exams, Anko arrived and announced the second round of the exams while reprimanding Ibiki for being too lenient and allowing so many Genin to qualify.

The next morning, the second round of the Chunin exams took place in the Forest of Death. Orochimaru successfully placed a curse mark on Sasuke, but this time it happened quite differently from the actual events. Orochimaru didn't waste any time and simply whispered a few words of temptation to Sasuke before leaving immediately. This wasn't without reason.

The reason for Orochimaru's behavior was that Jiraiya was currently present in the village. Although Jiraiya shouldn't have been there, due to Jiryoku's behavior in the past few days and what he said to Asuma, Hiruzen became quite alert. He had an intuition that something big was about to happen, so he called Jiraiya in advance.

Since Jiraiya was in the village, Orochimaru had to be extra cautious. As predicted by Orochimaru, as soon as he left after placing the curse mark on Sasuke, Jiraiya arrived. When Jiraiya saw the curse mark on Sasuke, he immediately understood that it was Orochimaru's doing. He quickly ran in the direction where he could sense Orochimaru's chakra. However, someone like Orochimaru couldn't overlook this possibility, so in the end, Jiraiya returned empty-handed.

After the second round was over, the prelims took place and the results were no different from the actual result of the prelims from the Naruto anime.

The qualified candidates for the third round were Shino, Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru, Naruto, Neji, Gaara, and Dosu.

----

One month's time passed with candidates preparing to be a blockbuster in the upcoming final battle. Everyone did their best, whereas for Jiryoku, he had been absent for quite a while. He had hired a ninja team so that no one could approach him and disturb him. Jiryoku just focused on training himself, and his every necessity was taken care of by this ninja team.

On the day of the Chunin exam, a large crowd gathered at the Chunin Exam venue, eager to see the ninjas fight. In this exam, most of the high-level individuals from Konoha were present, which should not have been the case. However, this happened because the Jokan of the Fire Country had come in person to see the Chunin exam. Out of respect, the high-level individuals of Konoha had to be present.

Jokan was seated on the most luxurious seat in the stand, where ministers and officials from different countries were present, while the high-level individuals of Konoha were in the adjacent stand to them.

"I don't see Jiryoku. Where is he?" asked Jokan.

"He didn't come to attend the Chunin exam. He said he will meet you after everything is over," replied one of the Jonins sent to protect her.

"Okay!" replied Jokan. "I hope he doesn't do anything foolish," thought Jokan to herself.

After that, the Chunin exam started with the first match between Naruto and Neji. In the match, Naruto won with his willpower and the power of the Nine-Tails chakra. Finally, the most anticipated match, at least for those who knew about Konoha's plans, took place. It was the match between Gaara and Sasuke. At the end of the match, Gaara lost control, and Konoha's Collapse plan began to unfold.

After Kabuto used the Temple of Nirvana Technique, almost everyone fell asleep in the exam venue. When the Hokage was trapped, everyone started leaving. Among them were Hiashi and his father, along with Hanabi, who started returning to their clan. Whenever they were met by an enemy, death was the inevitable outcome.

When they reached near their clan, they stopped as Jiryoku was standing in front of them.

"You took quite a long time. I have been waiting here for you," said Jiryoku.

As Jiryoku said this, he threw two scrolls, one for Hiashi and one for the Hyuga Elder. After reading the scrolls carefully, they were covered in cold sweat and looked towards Jiryoku.

"As you might have read everything, you can guess my purpose. So, I will make things clear for you. I don't want to be some blood maniac who loves killing," said Jiryoku calmly. He continued, "That's why I give you two options. First, you let the main lineage and loyal people of Hyuga Tanai stay inside the clan with the other elders of the Hyuga clan, including yourself Hyuga Elder. The second option is the total annihilation of the Hyuga clan, like the Uchiha clan. And make no mistake, I will not leave any survivors."

Hiashi said, "Never! The Hyuga clan will never...," but before he could finish, the Hyuga Elder placed his hand on Hiashi's shoulder, interrupting him, and looked at Jiryoku.

"You are a smart person, Hyuga Elder. You have done many things for the clan and know what's best for the Hyuga clan. I don't have too much time to waste. I give you ten seconds to consider," said Jiryoku.

"So, after this, you won't have enmity with the Hyuga clan? Can I trust you on this?" said the Hyuga Elder.

"If I wanted to have enmity with the Hyuga clan even after this, why would I waste my time talking to you? Instead, I would have just killed the Hyuga clan," said Jiryoku.

After listening to this, the Hyuga Elder nodded.
