When Sosuke drew the "Kyōka Suigetsu" from his waist.

All the people on the field were watching him.

Uchiha Shino stood in a corner, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at Sosuke's figure.

That battle had undoubtedly established Sosuke's reputation!

He would never forget the look in Sosuke's eyes when he was defeated!

It was a gaze that disregarded everything, like a god looking down upon ants, devoid of color, empty and indifferent.

At that moment!

He had no doubt that Sosuke had intended to kill him during their fight. Perhaps he refrained from doing so for some reason.

That was also the reason why he hadn't sought trouble with Sosuke again. He had always been aware of Sosuke's popularity in the village.

But as an enemy, he also knew that all of this was just a facade presented by Sosuke.

Yes... behind that gentle smile, there must be the true Sosuke, with that indifferent and terrifying demeanor.

Standing beside him, a charming girl with wide eyes stared blankly at Sosuke, thinking to herself.

Is this the Sosuke who defeated my brother? They say he's a genius even better than my brother!? But he defeated my brother, well... he must be a bad guy... even if his smile looks nice, he's still a bad guy!

Sakumo Hatake was also observing the young man who smiled and gestured towards him, wanting to see how strong Sosuke was.

Not far from Tsunade.

Jiraiya watched Sosuke, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Finally, we can see this guy take action...

On the field, as the blade of the Kyōka Suigetsu flickered slightly, almost no one noticed what happened.

Sosuke's feet moved in an instant.

"Swish!"

He disappeared from his original position and reappeared in front of Okamoto's face!

With his backhand holding the Kyōka Suigetsu, the handle of the blade struck Okamoto's abdomen with a tremendous force, catching him off guard!

Okamoto's pupils contracted in horror!

A tremendous impact was transmitted through his body!

"Cough... cough..."

The intense pain left him unable to speak!

In an instant, his entire body contorted like a lobster!

The intense pain caused the blood in his heart to rush to his brain. His face turned red, veins bulging, and he could only kneel weakly on the ground, unable to move!

Standing beside him, Sosuke slowly sheathed the Kyōka Suigetsu at his waist, his face cold and indifferent.

The battle... ended before it even began...

This scene shocked everyone present!

Although they all knew that Sosuke was a genius from the ninja academy and had formidable strength, they didn't fully understand the extent of his power.

Now, they finally witnessed it firsthand!

"Ah! He... He was defeated with just one move!" the girl next to Uchiha Shino exclaimed in astonishment, staring wide-eyed at Sosuke.

"Sakuya, if you ever encounter this guy, don't provoke him." Uchiha Shino, with a dark expression, advised the girl.

Damn... Has this guy's strength increased so much again? I can't even see his movements anymore...

Upon hearing his brother's words, Uchiha Sakuya nodded slightly as she watched Sosuke on the field, her thoughts unknown.

"Mmm... He's really powerful. I can't even see his speed." Sakumo Hatake, standing in the distance, furrowed his brows and muttered while staring at Sosuke.

Not far away, Jiraiya watched the scene with a smile on his face.

"As expected, he has such strength. Those old guys probably have no idea. What an unexpected guy... Sosuke."

The boy with unruly hair looked at the trembling ninja dog in astonishment and watched the scene on the field with concern.

"Sosuke!? Are you okay!? Damn... Is that guy really that terrifying?"

The boy with sunglasses next to him felt the same way.

"Sosuke... A terrifying guy. Even the parasites seem to fear him."

In another place.

"Shino... Did you see his movements clearly!?" A black-haired boy couldn't believe it as he asked the red-eyed boy next to him.

Shino's face was solemn as he watched Sosuke's figure and didn't directly answer the question. He simply said in a deep voice, "A terrifying guy..."

On the field.

"Okamoto... Are you okay?"

The grass ninjas were horrified by this scene, trembling as they called out to Okamoto.

"It's just a small lesson. Take him away. I hope the grass ninjas will refrain from making inappropriate remarks in Konoha in the future."

Sosuke said softly, then turned and walked away.

Among the crowd, a young boy with white pupils secretly observed Sosuke, keeping a low profile. He constantly clenched his fists, appearing somewhat nervous.

When Saki confirmed that Sosuke was Captain Aizen, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was a firm belief in his eyes.

Captain Aizen, I finally see you again. I hope I can become like you...

Sosuke slowly returned to Tsunade and the others.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

Jiraiya, with a dissatisfied expression, looked at him and said, "Sosuke! This arrogant guy should be dealt with by me! Let me show him the might of Jiraiya! You actually beat me to it! Seriously..."

Before he could finish his words, Tsunade slammed a fist hard on his head.

"You damn guy! Behave yourself! Do you want to cause trouble again?"

This time, Jiraiya, with a bump on his head, obediently stayed quiet and squatted in a corner, silently shedding tears while drawing circles on the ground with a small stick...

At this moment, Sosuke comforted Jiraiya with a smiling face.

"I was worried that you would be too heavy-handed, Jiraiya. After all, we still have the exam. If the examiners find out, they might cancel our qualification. I know when to stop. He should be fine later."

Well, Jiraiya, for the sake of your fragile heart... I can only deceive you like this...

Indeed, upon hearing Sosuke's words, Jiraiya instantly perked up and loudly exclaimed, "Ah! I see! It's true! Sosuke, you have good judgment. Otherwise, if Jiraiya were to personally intervene, he might never be able to return to the Grass Ninja Village. That wouldn't be good."

Everyone smiled as they listened.

At that moment.

A strong gust of wind blew.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared on the field, seemingly in their thirties. They wore dark uniforms and had sharp gazes.

A middle-aged man with a gloomy and cold expression stepped forward.

Looking at the people on the field, he glanced at Okamoto, who had already recovered.

He seemed as if he didn't know or care about the conflict that had occurred earlier on the field. With a solemn voice, he said, "I am the chief examiner for the Chunin exams this time."

"Next, you will face a written test. The content of the exam should be familiar to you from your ninja studies. So, do your best to answer the questions completely!"

"Now, follow me!"

All the genins followed the steps of the middle-aged man, filled with anxiety and anticipation, welcoming this grand Chunin exam!
