Chapter 46 : Start Of The Chunin Exam

The person who arrived was none other than Kabuto. He did exactly what he did in the anime, showcasing that he was our senior and offering advice. While his conversation was directed at all of us, I knew he was primarily focused on Team 7, or more specifically, Sasuke.

"What are those?" Naruto asked.

"This is my Ninja Info Card. I've gathered information about many genin over time. If you want information about anyone, feel free to ask. I wouldn't mind helping out you rookies a little," Kabuto said with a charming smile.

"We can get information on anyone with those cards?" Kiba asked, as we all looked at the cards Kabuto was shuffling in his hands.

"As long as I have some information about them, yes!" Kabuto replied, tempting us with his offer.

Sasuke was the first to speak up. "Give me information about Gaara of the Sand and Rock Lee."

As Kabuto took out the information, the others looked on in awe. Seeing this, more people started asking for information. Suddenly, someone asked,

"Do you have information about Shika Nara?"

It was Tenten, with Kiba and Shino also showing interest. Hinata glanced at me; out of everyone, she was perhaps the only one who had some idea of my strength.

Honestly, I was also curious. I wanted to know how much information Kabuto had on me.

Kabuto looked at me, as if asking whether he should reveal it. He was playing the part of the teammate perfectly. I simply nodded in response.

"Okay, here is the information: 2 B-rank missions and several C and D-rank missions. He is skilled with his clan's shadow-style jutsu and genjutsu," Kabuto said, confirming that he didn't have much on me.

Even the A-rank mission involving the wave was not in my profile because Hokage removed it from my mission list. However, the information about my participation was in Team 8's file.

I couldn't care less. I was just happy that my information was hidden; that was the most important thing right now. Until I'm strong enough, it's better for people to underestimate me.

Seeing my mission records, no one was impressed, although being able to complete even B-rank missions was notable.

I kept quiet and waited for the invigilator to arrive. Seeing my mission records, I only received a few curious looks, especially from Team 7, as all they had done under Kakashi were common C-rank missions.

"Oh, you've completed B-rank missions? Why didn't you mention this before?" Tenten asked, narrowing her eyes. Although I interacted with her frequently, I kept all my missions private and didn't reveal my true capabilities.

"Here and there, yes. Nothing impressive," I downplayed it, but her narrowed eyes indicated she would want answers after the exam.

Soon, the invigilator arrived, and the exam finally started, bringing the conversation to an end.

Ibiki was just as I remembered him from the anime—a complete badass with a scary face.

However, knowing the kind of mind games he was playing, I didn't feel as much pressure when he used his tactics.

When it came to the answers, I found them challenging, even for me. Cheating was my only option. Although I could leave the paper blank like Naruto, I chose not to.

At times like these, I realized that this world required more than just power. I had trouble getting the answers, but I managed to solve most of them, as many were math-based, which was easy for me.

Then finally, the last question came.

"You can choose to take the last question or not, but if you decide not to take it, you and your teammates will fail. If you choose to take the question and answer incorrectly, you will be prohibited from taking the Chunin Exam ever again."

"Ah, classic Naruto, good stuff," I couldn't help but smile. Later came Naruto's outburst, which restored the confidence of the candidates.

I witnessed this iconic anime moment in reality.

After that, Anko Mitarashi made her dramatic entrance, with her over-the-top flair and striking figure, to announce the start of the second test.

One strange thing was that the second test immediately started, which surprised me.

Until now, everything had followed the canon, but here I finally saw something different.

From there, we all followed Anko to the entrance of the Forest of Death.

I kept my eyes open for any suspicious characters aka uncle snake.

Although I didn't know how he looked after changing his body, sly creatures like him can't stay hidden for long. They're pretty much unavoidable if you keep an eye out for them.
