"Okay, let's not talk about the research on ninjutsu for now. What is your purpose of returning to Konoha this time?" Dawn changed the subject and spoke again.

"My purpose? Haha, Mr. Aoki, you are now a traitor like me. Even if I want to do something to Konoha, you should support me, right?" Orochimaru said with a smile.

"I won't support you, but I won't be too opposed because I can probably guess what you are going to do." Dawn also said to Orochimaru with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? Then Mr. Aoki, why don't you tell me what I'm going to do next?" Orochimaru didn't believe that anyone could guess the plan he had been planning for so long.

"Hehe, a month ago, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa took people to meet with the leader of the Sound Village. After returning, Rasa's various behaviors were a little different from usual. If the previous Rasa gave people the feeling of being unapproachable, the current Rasa has a bit more gloomy feeling. If nothing unexpected happens, the current Fourth Kazekage is just a puppet, or even Lord Orochimaru himself. I don't know if I'm right." Dawn said with a chuckle.

"You..." Orochimaru was a little surprised that Xiao actually guessed it.

However, it wasn't over yet. Dawn continued, "You came to Konoha during this special period of the Chunin Exam. If I'm not mistaken, your target this time is the Third Hokage, right?"

"What a joke! How could I possibly attack my teacher?" Orochimaru immediately denied.

"I didn't say you were going to attack the Third Hokage. Your purpose is simply to show your research results in front of the Third Hokage, right?" Dawn said with a smile looking at Orochimaru.

After hearing what Poxiao said, Orochimaru clapped his hands cheerfully and said, "As expected of Poxiao-kun, your guess is really accurate. So, Poxiao-kun wants to stop me?"

Poxiao shook his head and analyzed, "No, and I will help you. The ninjas from Kusagakure that you killed before have been discovered by Konoha and reported to the Third Hokage. They are now looking for you in the Death Forest. You know, according to the Third Hokage's personality, he will most likely recall Jiraiya. By then, are you sure you can fight both of them at the same time?"

After listening to this, Orochimaru also felt that what Poxiao said made some sense, and then asked: "What do you need me to pay for helping me like this?"

"I haven't thought about this yet. How about this, you just agree to one request of mine that you can do, and I'll tell you when I've thought it through." After saying that, Dawn was about to leave, but then he thought of something and said to Orochimaru again.

"By the way, regarding Sasuke just now, I advise you not to spend too much effort on him. Although his strength is not that great, his brother is very strong. Of course, this is just a kind reminder. It's up to you to decide what to do."

Before he finished speaking, Dawn used Flying Thunder God again and left.

Orochimaru was a little confused after listening to Dawn's last words.

Is Sasuke's brother very strong? According to the information, Sasuke's brother is only four years older than Sasuke, which means he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. How strong can a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child be? Do we need to be so careful?

However, we need to be careful about Jiraiya that Poxiao mentioned. If he really arrives by then and joins forces with the Third Hokage, Orochimaru may have no choice but to give up his plans against Konoha.

After the second round of the Chunin Exam was completed, the preliminaries before the third round began. Everything went on normally and all the battles were no different from the original. With the help of Orochimaru, Dawn disguised himself as a mentor from the Sound Village and watched the battle.

When watching the penultimate match, Rock Lee vs. Gaara, Dawn couldn't help but think, it seemed like Gaara would summon the tailed beast to fight Naruto this time, so why not catch the One-Tail now?

Taking advantage of the break after the duel, Dawn used secret methods to contact Pain, but Pain said there was no rush for the time being as there was still some information about other tailed beasts that had not been fully grasped. Once the plan to capture the tailed beasts began, it needed to be resolved quickly, otherwise by the time the villages reacted and hid the Jinchūriki, it would greatly increase the capture time.

After listening to this, Poxiao also felt that it made some sense. Although several tailed beasts were indeed in various ninja villages, it would still take some time to confirm the specific people and movements.

For example, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, has been wandering around all year round. Although such situations are rare, it still takes a long time to search for information.

After the preliminary rounds were completed, the list of candidates for the third Chunin Exam was announced. Before that, there was a month of rest. It was during this month that Naruto met the teacher who would change his life, the heroic Jiraiya.

One month later

The third round of the Chunin Exam officially began, and just like the preliminaries after the second exam, each candidate drew lots to determine their opponent.

There were spectators on the surrounding stages. On the Hokage stage, two Kage-level powerful warriors, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage, were in charge to highlight the importance of this third exam.

At first, Dawn thought that it would be very exciting to see the scenes that he had seen in the comics before, but the reality was indeed a bit boring.

One reason is that he already knew the result of the game.

Second, his strength far exceeded those present, so in his eyes this exam seemed a bit like a fight between children.

Fortunately, these battles did not last long, and soon it was time for the most crucial battle of the third Chunin Exam, Sasuke VS Gaara.

Dawn also perked up at this time, because halfway through this duel, Orochimaru would start his plan.

As the two people below were fighting, a clear sound of bird chirping was heard. It was Sasuke using Chidori to rush towards Gaara's defense.

Sasuke found that his attack should have hurt Gaara, but he couldn't pull his hand away.

At the same time, Gaara, in the cover made of sand, let out a laugh that chilled Sasuke's heart.

A breeze blew inside the examination venue, and the Fourth Kazekage immediately stood up and held the Third Hokage hostage with a kunai.

"Fourth Kazekage, what do you mean?" asked the Third Hokage, somewhat confused.

"Haha, teacher, haven't you recognized me yet?" At this time, the mask on the Fourth Kazekage's face fell off, and the familiar face inside was actually Orochimaru.

After seeing Orochimaru's face clearly, the Third Hokage said, "Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to dare to come back? You secretly used the ninjas in the village as experimental subjects. Today, I will personally eliminate your master."

"Teacher, you are so old, don't get so excited. I don't believe you don't have any guesses about the truth of this matter. But, it doesn't matter. I came back this time not to explain this matter, but to show you the results of my research." After saying that, Orochimaru let go of the Third Hokage, and at the same time, the four Sound Ninjas around him also formed hand seals and cast a huge purple flame barrier to trap Orochimaru and the Third Hokage inside.
