No one knows Hokage better than me

As soon as the sky dawned, Konoha Team 7 took action and rushed towards the central tower.

The journey was originally smooth, but when they reached a place with overgrown bushes, Sakura vaguely heard calls for help.

She stopped, and Naruto and Sasuke also stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Sakura?"

"I thought I heard someone calling for help."

Sakura didn't dare to say anything because she couldn't hear any movement now.

Naruto put his hands over his ears to hear the sounds around him more clearly.

But after several confirmations, he still found nothing unusual, so he said: "Sakura, you must have been too nervous and heard wrong. No one is asking for help around here, right, Sasuke?"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't believe her, Sakura reluctantly apologized: "I'm sorry, I made everyone worry."

"It's okay. It's my first time taking the Chunin Exam. It's normal to be a little nervous."

Naruto comforted Sakura with good intentions, and the latter nodded slightly, and then the three of them stopped pausing and continued on their way.

But not long after, Sakura heard faint calls for help again.

She decisively attributed this to her own nervousness, and secretly blamed herself for why her companions were so calm, so why was she the only one so vulnerable?

After walking forward for a while with guilt, the cry for help appeared in Sakura's ears again, so real and so close.

She couldn't bear it any longer, stopped and cried, blaming herself: "I'm sorry, I'm so cowardly. I've never met a strong enemy, but I always have inexplicable auditory hallucinations. I'm such a coward."

Sakura squatted on a branch and burst into tears. She hated herself for being like this.

Naruto stopped next to her and continued to comfort her: "Sakura, don't blame yourself like this."

"This is a training ground known as the Forest of Death. The environment is inherently harsh, and we must always beware of enemy sneak attacks."

"Even Sasuke and I will inevitably get nervous due to the depressing atmosphere. It's no big deal if we hear auditory hallucinations occasionally."

Naruto showed an innocent smile. He was encouraging Sakura and wanted her to put aside her psychological burden, but Sasuke was marveling at Sakura's insight.

"It seems that not only this time, but the two previous calls for help also happened. I was too careless."

Sasuke muttered to himself, and then a man covered in blood jumped out of the grass and fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face.

Naruto was shocked, thinking he had encountered an enemy attack, and quickly took out a kunai to warn: "Who are you?"

The seriously injured genin saw someone on the tree. Even though everyone was an enemy during the exam, he cried out for help: "Please help me."

The man asking for help was covered in wounds. The moment he looked up, Naruto and the others were shocked to find that his face was covered in blood and flesh, which was very strange.

"what"

Sakura screamed uncontrollably, and Naruto subconsciously blocked her with his body.

Unable to see the other person's face clearly, and unable to judge his approximate age and identity from the other person's frightened voice, Sasuke had no choice but to regard it as a trap and warned the wounded who were crawling towards him: "Stop and don't come closer this way or I will kill you." You are welcome"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound behind the man asking for help, and then a big snake that was thicker than Choji's waist swooped out and swallowed the prey in one bite.

"Wow" Naruto exclaimed loudly.

Sasuke had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before Naruto could react, he had thrown four shurikens at the snake's head.

However, the big snake has rough skin and thick flesh, so four shurikens cannot kill it.

Perhaps feeling that Sasuke and the others were threatening his safety, Orochi just finished eating, then raised his head again and dived at the enemy with all his strength.

Without any hesitation, Sasuke quickly formed a seal and performed the "Great Fire Ball Technique".

The scorching fireball fiercely rushed towards the big snake, directly scorching its head.

"call"

Just as Naruto was about to relax, he suddenly thought that the person who had just been swallowed by the snake had also been burned to death by Sasuke.

Fanning the smoke in front of his eyes with his hand, Naruto looked towards the place where the flames disappeared, where a vague figure stood up.

"Looks like it didn't burn him." Naruto was really relieved this time.

But reality is always full of drama. When the flames disappeared, Naruto saw that the person crawling out of the snake's belly not only had no injuries, but even the face that had disappeared before was restored.

"What's going on?" Not only Naruto, but Sasuke and Sakura were also confused.

"Could it be that this big snake swallowed more than one person?"

Naruto was shocked, but then he thought, even if the big snake swallowed several people, the one on top should be the faceless man who asked for help just now.

"what"

Naruto remembered what happened to Chu. The faceless man before had just been swallowed and had not reached the snake's stomach, so he was burned to ashes by Sasuke's "Go Fire Ball" along with the snake's head.

The long-haired man in front of him was the one who was swallowed by the snake earlier. The "Go Fireball" just now did not burn the snake's lower body, so he survived.

Not to mention how many flaws there are in this, why is this man who was rescued from the belly of the snake by Sasuke looking like a man with a sinister smile on his face?

Naruto was confused, and Sasuke was also disgusted by the expression of the person who appeared later, and he was so unhappy: "Who are you?"

The man with long hair reaching his waist laughed and did not answer Sasuke's question. He just stared at the latter and said: "Young people are really enviable."

Sakura no longer blamed herself, she was even a little surprised by her sensitive hearing.

Sasuke hated the man in front of him, so he responded coldly: "If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense in front of me."

"Hehe, you are really young and energetic."

"It seems that I can enjoy fighting again."

The man with waist-length hair stuck out his half-meter-long tongue, took out a pair of heaven and earth scrolls from his waist, and smiled: "Although I have grabbed the missing scrolls from the team just now, as long as I kill them here, You guys, I will have fewer opponents in the next games.”

As the man spoke, he wrapped his tongue around the two scrolls and swallowed them all.

Then, as if he was still unfinished, he licked his lips with his tongue, put his fingers into his eyes, pulled down his eyelids, and said with a grin: "Then let the battle for the scroll begin, I will do my best."

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked shocked.

The person in front of me looks really weird, and what he does can be described as terrifying. Is such a perverted person really a genin who came to take the chuunin exam like me?

Just as Naruto and the others were thinking about it, suddenly a bloody sight flashed before their eyes, and then they actually saw the appearance of their own deaths.

"call"

In just a short moment, Sasuke's body was soaked with sweat. He knew clearly that he was not under a genjutsu. This suffocating feeling of oppression came purely from the murderous intent of the other party.

The last time he felt so desperate was when he saw Itachi, who had killed all his clan members, standing on an electric pole with his back to the moonlight.

Over the years, Sasuke has never relaxed and has been working hard to become stronger.

Unexpectedly, even so, he would still encounter someone who completely lost his fighting spirit just by looking at him.

"Sakura"

Frightened by the perverted man's eyes, Sakura slumped down on a branch and almost fell. Fortunately, Naruto helped her quickly and she didn't get hurt.

The killing intent released by Orochimaru was difficult for even ordinary jounin to resist.

I thought I could use this move to suppress the newbies first, but I didn’t expect that there were genin who were not afraid of me.

Orochimaru glanced at Naruto a few more times, only to find that there seemed to be something scarier than him hidden inside the latter.

"Oh, he is the nine-tailed brat"

Orochimaru's brows trembled slightly, and he suddenly thought of the conditions that Ji Zhixing, who was being used by him, had put forward.

Then he showed a malicious smile and murmured: "It's rare that the two people that guy mentioned are in the same group. In this case, let me love you well."

Thinking about it, Orochimaru's hand slipped, and several kunai shot towards Sasuke who could not move.
