Chapter 330: No Room for Charm

"Ah! Sasuke!!!"

"What a chakra..."

Naruto exclaimed in shock as he saw Sasuke being thrown away by a large translucent palm, and found himself even more so when he saw the large imprint left by that palm on the ground.

Very strong!

Hyuga Neji, who was nearby, took a deep breath.

Unlike the original, Hizashi didn't die, and Neji didn't hate his fate, moreover, he didn't feel any hatred for Hinata and even tried to protect her when necessary.

At this point, Neji couldn't help but admire Yeruashi, because he knew very well that Hinata's talent wasn't very high, but in a couple of years of apprenticeship with the Fifth Hokage, she completely surpassed him!

Neji felt that it would be extremely difficult for him to block Hinata's palm with his heavenly rotation, and even if he did, Hinata should be able to attack a few more times.

"I also want to become a disciple of Hokage-sama..."

Neji whispered softly, looking enviously at Hinata below.

On the field.

Whoosh!

Hinata dispersed chakra and backed up a few steps.

Hayate swallowed saliva nervously and ran to Sasuke, who was lying on the ground.

After checking on Sasuke's condition, Hayate exclaimed loudly, "Winner.... Hyuga Hinata!"

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

Hayate felt that if Hinata hadn't stopped, it would have been very difficult for him to save Sasuke.... Maybe he would have been beaten together with Sasuke and made a laughing stock....

Hearing Hayate's words, Hinata deactivated the Byakugan and her hair, fluttering from the chakra, lay quietly on her back, after which she raised her head and looked up to the third floor above the examination room.

He noticed Yeruashi immediately after activating the Byakugan at the beginning of the battle with Sasuke.

"Sensei."

Hinata immediately bowed, saluting Yeruashi.

Yeruashi looked at Hinata with a smile and nodded with satisfaction, "Great fight."

At the same time, Naruto, Sakura and the others followed Hinata's gaze and also noticed Yeruashi standing next to Kakashi.

After a short silence.

Everyone present greeted Yeruashi.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Move forward."

Yeruashi looked down and nodded by way of greeting, then indicated Hayate to continue with the examination.

Many Genins were very excited for the appearance of the Fifth Hokage.

Neji, Rock Lee and the others were doing their best to show off and get Yeruashi's approval.

While Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Temari and the other girls, from time to time, were excitedly looking up to the third floor, where Yeruashi was standing.

Sasuke and Naruto were two rather handsome boys.

But compared to the young, legendary Fifth Hokage, they were like little fireflies against the bright, blazing sun.

Noticing Yeruashi's smiles, Ino and the other girls felt like they were instantly falling for the strongest Genjutsu that even a Sharingan's Genjutsu couldn't match.

"Big brother..."

"I think... you should go."

Kakashi sighed helplessly, looking at the behavior of Ino and the others, "Otherwise, it might become a problem for the ninja responsible for keeping order in the exam."

The corners of Kakashi's mouth twisted.

"You can send two more teams of shinobi to keep order."

Yeruashi looked irritated at Kakashi.

Why should he leave?! He didn't do anything! Nothing at all!!!!

Ah, but his incredible charisma and good looks do cause problems.

Popularity is also annoying...

Finally.

Sasuke was severely eliminated from the Chuunin exam by Hinata.

After eliminating them, only twenty Genins made it to the final stage.

In fact, there are many more Genins who can qualify for the final stage, but due to the fact that this stage is open to the general public and has a certain element of showmanship, they were forced to rule out a significant portion of the candidates.

Four Genins out of the original twelve from Konoha were eliminated.

The remaining eight advanced to the final stage, led by Hinata, and there were also twelve Genins who had previously belonged to other Shinobi villages, including Temari, Kankuro and others.

"Alright, the final stage begins in seven days."

"High-ranking aristocrats from all over the Fire Country, who are our regular customers, will be attending. Perhaps in the future you will also perform their missions, so be prepared to show as much as you can."

The third stage of the Chuunin examination was completed after Hayate's final speech.

...

Naruto approached Kakashi immediately after completing the third stage of the exam and got down to business with determination, without further ado.

"Kakashi-sensei, I need special training!"

Sasuke's defeat made him feel great pressure.

In this Chuunin examination, whether it was Rock Lee, Hinata or Haku, they were all extremely strong opponents, especially Hinata.

With his current strength, Naruto had no confidence in defeating Hinata.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and nodded, "Alright."

On the other hand.

A limping Sasuke walked out of the examination site.

He stopped when he saw Itachi in a black raincoat standing by the exit.

"Big brother..."

"I know."

Itachi put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Hinata is a disciple of the Hokage-sama...any normal training is nothing compared to training under his guidance, for your age, you already have great strength, Sasuke."

Sasuke lowered his head and after a few seconds of silence, he looked resolutely at Itachi, "Big brother.... I want to know the method to awaken the Mangekyu Sharingan!"

He wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible.

"..."

Itachi looked at Sasuke for a few seconds, then sighed, "Hey, my stupid brother.... You think you can wake up Mangekyou? what makes you think you have enough qualifications and talent?"

Suddenly, a Mangekyou pattern appeared in Itachi's pupils, and a terrifying fluctuation of chakra hit Sasuke.

"?!"

Sasuke immediately tensed up and looked at Itachi.

Seeing that Sasuke was frightened and staggered back a couple of steps, Itachi closed his eyes and when he opened them, the pupils had already returned to normal.

Itachi brought his fingers to Sasuke's forehead and smiled softly, returning to his usual demeanor, "To awaken Mangekyou requires a powerful emotional stimulus, such as the loss of a loved one. You need to experience the strongest emotional fluctuation, surpassing at least ten times everything you've experienced before. Do you think you can afford it? I think it's too soon for you."

Itachi patted Sasuke's head and said, "Let's go home."

With that said, he turned around and walked away.

It took a few seconds for Sasuke to come to, looking scared and pale.
