Chapter 8: Have a Baby on Your Own? 

"Although his chakra smells quite good, it doesn't smell as good as the Holy Lord's at all!" Karin thought of Varen, and a slightly shy smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"That's it. The Holy Lord said the first level is the written test. It's very simple, you can pass even if you hand in a blank paper. Then I'll recharge my batteries. When you reach the second level, keep an eye on Sasuke."

Karin ignored the exchange between the nine new ninjas in Konoha and a senior Genin, Yakushi Kabuto. She began to silently exchange her cultivation experiences with the Phoenix King.

…

Sasuke felt a little panicked at the moment. At the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure. As the "last" Uchiha, he felt that he should bear Uchiha's glory. First go and kill the brother who betrayed Uchiha, then become famous all over the world and revitalize Uchiha. But the ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. He felt that his qualifications were really poor. When he was in school, he was steadily pushed by Varen.

On the strength of ninjas, Varen would always be number one, and he would always be number two. Although he had challenged Varen many times, he had never won. After leaving school, he felt much more relaxed because Varen gave up continuing to be a ninja. And beside him were "noobs" like Naruto and Sakura. So, he felt very comfortable.

However, the good times did not last long. He found Naruto's potential to be high. One day in the future, maybe he would surpass him. He would be counterattacked by this crane. He felt stressed. Then he took the Chūnin exam.

But it turned out, there's not only Gaara, a scary guy who doesn't know the depth of things here. And there are also local strongmen like Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee. Rock Lee even "instantly killed" him not long ago. This made him feel even more stressed.

"It's getting more and more interesting," Sasuke looked at the candidates in the classroom. A sneer appeared on his face. "I will definitely become stronger. Then defeat the others here. Finally, kill that man!"

…

The first round of the Chūnin exam is a written test. However, it is said to be a written test, but in fact, it mainly tests intelligence gathering ability and courage. The three Narutos, under the halo of Naruto's protagonist, passed the first round of exams without any danger. And after the first round of exams, many candidates also got a half-day break.

Examiner Mitarashi Anko stipulated that they would gather in a different place tomorrow. For the specific time and place, they needed to ask their respective guide Jōnin.

…

A night of silence. Early the next morning, all the ninjas taking the exam gathered at the entrance of the 44th training ground.

"This is the venue for the second exam, the 44th training ground." The examiner Anko had a weird smile on her face and said slowly, "This place is called the Forest of Death~ You can experience it for yourself right away." The atmosphere in the venue suddenly stiffened. The breeze blew, and everyone felt a little chilly.

"Hmph~" Naruto snorted upon seeing this. Then he wrinkled his face and bent his body. While twisting his butt, he said in a sinister tone: "This place is called the Forest of Death~ You can experience it for yourself right away~ No matter how you scare me, I'll be fine! I'm not afraid at all!"

"Yeah?" Anko tilted her head and smiled when she saw this, "You are very energetic~" She threw out a kunai. It flew out right next to Naruto's face. It directly scratched Naruto's face! Then, Anko suddenly appeared behind Naruto. "Children like you are usually the first to die."

She hugged Naruto's head. While touching the blood flowing out of the wound, she said: "Spurt out my favorite, bright red blood~" Just when she was about to do something, suddenly, a figure wearing a bamboo hat appeared behind her. He used his long tongue to roll up the kunai on the ground and handed it to her.

"Kunai, give it back to you."

…

"Is that Orochimaru? Sure enough, she had killed the people in the Grass Ninja Village and transformed into their appearance." Karin, who was always paying attention here, pushed up her glasses and remembered Orochimaru's chakra flavor. During this time, she often chatted with Varen under the guise of mission matters. She got a lot of weird information from Varen.

"I heard that he now has a woman's body? Sometimes he becomes a man and sometimes he becomes a woman. In the end, he was able to have a baby alone? Really... what a powerful person!" Looking at Orochimaru, Karin's eyes were full of wonder. Girls love Eight Trigrams. During this period, Karin enjoyed eating melons.

…

Anko quickly finished explaining the rules of the second round of exams. Each team of ninjas needs to take a scroll with the word "sky" or the word "earth" to enter the forest. And in the forest, they need to grab a scroll different from their own from other teams.

Then, within 5 days, with two different scrolls in hand, all three of them must arrive safely at the tower in the middle of the forest. Only in this way can they officially pass the assessment. After signing the death consent form, everyone then took the scrolls and entered the forest.

The three of them, Sasuke, followed an examiner to the 12th entrance of the forest. They began to wait silently for the exam time to arrive. When the time came, the three of them immediately rushed into the forest.

"Ah!!" The three of them had just entered the forest not long ago. Then a very violent scream was heard.

"Just now… was that a human scream?" Sakura looked around nervously. "I always feel a little nervous."

"No...it's nothing~ Sakura~" Naruto put his hands behind his head. He looked nervous but pretended to be relaxed. However, only halfway through speaking, he couldn't hold himself any longer. "I… I kind of want to pee~"

"You idiot!" Sakura punched Naruto's head out. "What are you doing in front of a lady? Go and solve it in the grass!"

After a while, Naruto came back with a relieved look on his face. "Wow! What a big pee~ It's refreshing now~"

"So in front of a lady, this kind of thing is..." Sakura hadn't finished speaking yet. Then Sasuke rushed to Naruto and punched him away.

"Sasuke! No matter what, there is no need to hit someone, right?" Sakura looked at Sasuke with some confusion. However, Sasuke paid no attention to Sakura. Instead, he continued to attack Naruto.

"What are you doing suddenly?" Naruto asked aloud as he was forced to take the beating.

"What do you ask me to do? As it happens, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you." Sasuke said and charged forward again. The two of them fought together again.

"Sasuke! Please don't fight!"

"Chi~" Suddenly a sneer came from the branches above the three of them. "I didn't expect you to be so weak. One was kidnapped in a surprise attack. One of them couldn't even recognize his own companions. I have been fighting Genin for so long but still no results~ If it hadn't been for the Holy Lord's order, I would never have come to help you weaklings~" Karin twitched her nose slightly. "Hmm~ I have to say, Sasuke's Chakra smells really good~ It's a pity that it doesn't smell as good as the Holy Lord's~"
