Looking at Nakata Teru who suddenly understood, Takagi Akira shrugged helplessly and spread out his hands.

"I just thought of this because we haven't done any missions in so many days."

Having said this, Gao Muming paused for a moment before continuing.

"However, I think that not telling us Genin about this matter was intentional by the village. It can be regarded as a preliminary screening of us Genin. After all, a Chunin needs various abilities to be able to form a team."

"Compared to the talented ninjas led by jonin who are given special attention by the village, we, the ordinary genin, are much weaker in combat power."

"If we can't get any information about the Chunin Exam in our own village, and can't ask to participate in the Chunin Exam ourselves, then it can only mean one thing: we don't have the most basic ability to become a Chunin."

"For this type of genin, completing as many D-rank missions as possible is the best contribution they can make to the village."

After hearing Takagi Akira's analysis, Nakata Teru showed a grateful look.

"It's all thanks to you this time. If you hadn't proposed to take part in the Chunin Exam, Yuuki and I would have continued to muddle through life as Genin."

"We are all teammates who have entrusted our lives to each other. No need to say thank you. Okay, let's go back and reunite with Yuuki. We can practice for a while while we still have some time."

On the way back with Nakata Teru, Takagi Akira unconsciously relaxed a bit when he realized that the sense of being watched that had been lingering around him since the beginning had faded away.

"I had originally thought that I would use the Ichizoku Lantern Formation in the preparatory exam before the third exam during the Chunin Exam to show that I have some talent in sealing techniques, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good."

"I just happened to meet the Third Hokage secretly observing Iruka's test of Naruto, and I completed my goal of participating in this Chunin Exam ahead of time - to let the Third Hokage 'accidentally' discover my talent in sealing techniques."

"A commoner who fully recognizes the Will of Fire, has a clean identity and has some talent in the art of sealing. It is a normal choice for a superior to want to show some favors and help him win over others, and to increase his connections for his descendants."

A few days later, Takagi Akira and the other two arrived at the venue of the Chunin Exam - the gate of Konoha Ninja School - on time.

As soon as he stepped into the teaching building, Takagi Akira keenly realized that he had entered an illusion barrier. Looking at Nakata Teru and Mitsuki Yuuki who were unaware of anything, Takagi Akira immediately moved closer to his teammates.

"There are so many people coming to take the Chunin Exam. I'm suddenly a little nervous."

As Gao Muming spoke, he naturally placed his hands on the shoulders of the two men and secretly called upon chakra to help them break the effects of the illusion.

Looking at Rock Lee, who was wearing a green tights and was very conspicuous among the group of candidates gathered at the entrance of 201, Mitsuki Yuuki thought for a moment and secretly made gestures to Takagi Akira and Nakata Teru.

"The one who was knocked to the ground was Rock Lee, right?"

"Yes, it's Xiao Li."

After receiving a positive answer from Akira Takagi, Yuuki Mitsuki looked at his two teammates with some confusion.

"I remember that he is Hyuga Neji's teammate. With their level, will they not be able to see through this illusion?"

Nakata Teru thought for a moment and then explained.

"I think it's because they want to hide themselves so as not to be too conspicuous. Isn't that what we do? Even though we have broken the illusion, we still pretend not to see it."

In response to Nakata Teru's explanation, Mitsuki Yuuki looked at his teammates with an incomprehensible look.

"Is this really necessary? As the top graduate of our class and a ninja from the Hyuga clan, Konoha's top blood family, you will be taken seriously no matter how hard you try to hide yourself, right?"

When hearing Yuuki Mitsuki's question, Nakata Teru also had a lot of question marks on his forehead.

"Will this really work? Under normal circumstances, someone who doesn't even know the name of the Hyuga clan can't pose a threat to Hyuga Neji, right?"

Takagi Akira, who was a little confused about Hyuga Neji's train of thought and didn't understand why they did this, complained quietly to his teammates.

"No, what they did is still somewhat useful. It can make people with insight more vigilant against them. After all, with their level, they are deliberately showing weakness to the enemy. There must be nothing good about it."

Just as Takagi Akira and the other two were talking, Uchiha Sasuke came out with Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura, and arrogantly asked the two Chunins who were blocking the door and had used transformation techniques and released illusion barriers to make way.

Looking at the three people who were standing out to show themselves, Gao Muming couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

"Naruto and Sakura are fine, but why is Sasuke acting so arrogant? He acts like he's so powerful. Logically, he should have just experienced a beating in the ninja world in the Land of Waves."

"Could it be that because he passed Iruka's special test so easily, he thought that all ninjas from other countries are noobs, and Bai is just an exception among exceptions, so he got cocky?"

"If that's the case, Iruka-sensei really meant well but did something bad."

Just as Takagi Akira was complaining in his heart, the exposed Chunin in the field released the illusion barrier and attacked Uchiha Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke, who noticed this, immediately fought back.

As a result, their attacks were stopped by Xiao Li, who had taken a fancy to Sakura and wanted to show off in front of her.

Unlike Uzumaki Naruto and his crew, who still needed to find their team leader to submit the application form for the Chunin Exam, Takagi Akira and his crew, who had already submitted the application form for the Chunin Exam, mingled with the crowd and arrived at the classroom where the Chunin Exam was going to be held.

After Gao Muming's group entered the classroom, they consciously chose a seat at the back where they would not attract attention and quietly waited for the exam time to arrive.

After sitting down, Santo Yuuki subconsciously observed the group of Genin in the classroom who looked difficult to deal with. When his eyes swept over Hyuga Neji and Tenten, he couldn't help but be stunned. After confirming that there was no trace of green in the room, Santo Yuuki couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Strange, where are the Rock Lee people?"

After hearing Mitsuki Yuuki's voice, Nakata Teru looked around the classroom to confirm that Xiao Li was not there, and then gave his own answer.

"Maybe he went to the bathroom? After all, the Chunin Exams are coming up soon, and he wanted to solve some personal problems to avoid affecting his condition later."

"Didn't you notice? Just now on the second floor, Xiao Li left after the Uchiha Orphan Team."

Gao Muming, who was lying on the table, spoke softly.

"I guess he was arranged by Hyuga Neji to test the level of the much-rumored orphan of the Uchiha clan."
