Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

The BBQ meal was a little bit tricky. Sakura later realized that she seemed to be disturbing everyone's interest, so she changed the topic and discussed the Chunin Exam with everyone.

It’s a pity that most people are no longer in the mood.

Even Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were silenced by Haruno Sakura's question, "Does the Palm Fairy Technique require hand seals?"

Among all the people, there was one person whose thoughts were even more complicated. That was Yamanaka Ino. She originally thought that since she had passed the Chunin Exam and Sakura hadn't even participated, wouldn't that mean she and Sasuke were one step closer?

But how can I put it? She is in a complicated mood now. She and her best friend once competed for something. Suddenly one day, her best friend said, "I'll give it to you. I don't want it anymore."

This gave Ino a huge sense of contrast. The key point is that Sakura did not find another substitute. Instead, she began to improve herself, to do things she had never thought of, to become better.

For a moment, Ino felt that she was a loser. Even if she passed the second round of the Chunin Exam, it would still matter. Sakura had already walked further away in silence.

Sakura felt a little sorry for ruining everyone's fun, but she didn't know how to comfort them. She also realized that many of the things that Mr. Aoba taught her might be more powerful than she imagined.

In fact, when Ino took the seat next to Sasuke, Sakura didn't even notice it. Her mind was full of the various tasks that Aoba had given her.

Aoba's way of dealing with these teenage girls is simple. What kind of love is this? It's because they don't have enough homework. Look at Haruno Sakura, she has a little more homework every day, she's still in love, and she has to memorize formulas before she goes to bed.

Haruno Sakura herself didn't know why Sasuke's attraction to her had weakened unconsciously. But the fact was that she began to indulge in those complicated lessons that most people couldn't understand at all, and she enjoyed the process of learning and growing.

In the previous life, teachers always taught students not to learn passively. They should enjoy learning. Qingye always thought he was terrible. But when he grew up, he realized that it was all a lie.

In this world, only a few people can enjoy the joy of learning. Apparently, Haruno Sakura is one of them.

Aoba apologized for forgetting to eat barbecue with his students. When he heard that Naruto put the bill under his name, Aoba said that the bastards still had too little homework.

Perhaps it was the result of some butterfly effect. The bloodiness of the second exam far exceeded the original plot.

Therefore, once the number of participants is determined, there is no need for early selection. Just take a month off and then proceed to the finals of the Chunin Exam.

The reason for the delay was that one reason was to allow these Genin to rest and recover from their injuries. Another reason was that Konoha had invited the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to take the exam, but he would not arrive until a month later.

Aoba knew that this one-month vacuum period was the time for Orochimaru to arrange his plan. He had already entered Konoha, and with his strength and understanding of Konoha, it was too easy for him to do something from the inside.

The Chunin Exam is one of the most important branching points in the original plot. From this plot, the entire story of Naruto begins to move away from being lighthearted and passionate, becoming heavy and even a little dark.

And it gets darker as the story progresses. The original author is quite talented and specially designed various characters of Naruto, which successfully diluted the relatively dark tone of the whole story and kept a certain degree of hot-blooded comic elements.

Aoba could have stopped Orochimaru's plan, but he chose to let it go. This was a decision he made after thinking for a long time.

There are many reasons, the most important of which is that he needs to avoid some moral constraints.

Aoba wants to change Konoha, but it is not easy. Konoha or the entire ninja world may not be very old, but various stupid concepts and class systems are deeply rooted.

If you want to change Konoha, you first need to destroy something. Not to mention destroying the entire Konoha, at least destroy the original framework of Konoha.

Qingye can do it himself. If he is given some time, he can do it. But it is difficult to keep it completely secret. It will cause hidden dangers to long-term plans.

And Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha just suited Aoba's wishes. All the bad things were done by Orochimaru, and he achieved his goal without having to take the blame. This kind of good thing can't be asked for.

After assigning enough homework to the three little ones, Qingye returned to the laboratory again.

It's not difficult to shape Hashirama's cells. The difficult part is how to make it stable enough not to go berserk even if it's hurt.

Qingye has already made the first chakra battery. It is in the shape of a shirt. He thought about it and wanted to make it a perfect disguise without affecting the activity. Disguising it as clothing is a good choice.

The only problem is that there may be some psychological barriers. After all, this thing is made of flesh and blood.

The biological colonization suit was a science fiction concept in his previous life. In this life, Qingye never thought that he would actually make it.

This thing only needs to be worn on the body and in contact with the skin, and then you can draw chakra from it at will. It is very smooth to use and there is almost no feeling of obstruction.

Strictly speaking, this thing is usable now. There is no problem using it in the laboratory. But Qingye wants more. He needs this thing to be more stable, and not go berserk when attacked.

He tried adding White Zetsu cells and natural energy to it, and it had some effect, but it was still not enough.

At this time, Yumi next to him came up with an idea. Have you ever thought about trying Hidan's cells?

"We've tried it. But anyway, Hidan's cells are very special. After taking a small sample, once the sample leaves his body, it will quickly lose that special activity.

The characteristics of his body are completely different from the body's self-healing ability in our conventional sense. There is currently no compatible means."

Yumi curled her lips. She didn't have much talent in this area. She could only serve as Aoba's assistant and be responsible for providing chakra.

"Then don't think about it for now. Take a rest. I'll go prepare dinner. You put the poor little thing down. Then go out and get some fresh air."

Yumi reached out and snatched the chakra battery from Aoba's hand.

Qingye said with a hint of amusement.

"Although these things are theoretically alive, they cannot be called life. They are just some living cells. So, there is no need to pity them."

"Really? If I twist a piece of your flesh into a different shape, will you feel comfortable?"

"...that's not the same thing...wait a minute..."
