I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"As expected of Sasuke, he won so easily." Ino said happily when she saw Sasuke win without much effort.

Humph, as expected of the Uchiha clan. Ningji, who was standing next to Kai, crossed his arms over his chest and stopped rolling his eyes.

"That illusion just now was taught to Sasuke by you, right?" Kakashi retracted his gaze and asked Ye Lan.

"They are just some simple illusions. It would be abnormal if the Uchiha clan couldn't even use illusions." Ye Lan said casually.

"Well, but he used it just right and didn't waste any chakra at all. Sasuke already looks like a Chunin."

Naruto was originally happy to see Sasuke win, but when he heard Kakashi praising Sasuke, he felt a little unbalanced and said, "I will win as cleanly as Sasuke next time."

"Yeah, Naruto, you should also work hard." Kakashi comforted Naruto like he was coaxing a child.

"Sasuke, congratulations." Seeing Sasuke coming back, Sakura also stepped forward to congratulate him.

Hmm? Ye Lan frowned. He was keenly aware of something strange, but he didn't care about the joy of the crowd. He looked across the crowd and directly at the stands opposite. There, a Jonin wearing a sound-ninja forehead protector was sitting there quietly, staring at Sasuke intently.

Ye Lan felt a strange feeling in his heart. His intuition told him that this person seemed to have some intentions towards Sasuke. His body quietly tensed up, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. At this moment, the sound ninja seemed to notice Ye Lan's gaze and turned his head to look at Ye Lan.

Their eyes met, and Ye Lan saw a cold light flashing in the other's eyes, as well as a strange smile slightly raised at the corner of his mouth.

"This guy..." Ye Lan muttered to himself. He knew that this guy was not a good guy and would probably bring trouble to them. However, when he wanted to remind Kakashi, he found that the other party had turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.

"What's wrong? Did you notice something wrong?" After hearing Kakashi's words, Sasuke and the other two also looked at Ye Lan.

"Nothing, I just seemed to see someone familiar." Ye Lan said casually without wanting too many people to know. The Sound Ninja just now should be Orochimaru who he had fought before. He would not remember that aura wrongly.

Kakashi heard that Ye Lan didn't want to explain too much and didn't continue asking. He looked back at the big screen on the field.

"The second exam is about to begin. Let's see which genin can pass it."

The next match was between Shino Aburame and a Genin among the three Oto-nin. With the secret technique of the Aburame clan to control insects, Shino successfully won the match.

"What was that, that's disgusting," Naruto said when he saw Shino's fighting style.

"The secret technique of the Aburama clan is to control insects through chakra to fight. Not only that, the Aburama clan's most outstanding aspect is reconnaissance and tracking. It will be very easy to obtain intelligence with a teammate from the Aburama clan on the battlefield." Ye Lan explained to Sasuke and the others that generally those who take part in the Chunin exam are the elites of each village, and they will all display a village's unique fighting style. Regardless of whether they pass the exam or not, it will greatly enhance their vision.

Shino is seen returning to the team, and his teammates are a girl with Byakugan and a Genin with a puppy.

"It seems that their team is very unique. It brings together ninjas from several families with the strongest reconnaissance capabilities in the village." Ye Lan said in a low voice. The Hokage's division of classes still makes some sense. However, he has not seen anything special about Sasuke's two teammates, a girl who is relatively smart but very ordinary, and a carefree Naruto. He wonders what shining points they have.

The next battle was between Sunagakure's Kankuro and Akado Kabuto's companion Ken Misumi. Just when Ken Misumi thought he was going to succeed, he found out that what he had been controlling for half a day was just the opponent's puppet, which made Naruto call him a rip-off.

"Kakashi, you should give your students some remedial lessons. How did this guy graduate from the ninja school?" Ye Lan said, looking at Naruto's ignorant look. This kid's personality seems a bit like Red Bean, but he's even less reliable than Red Bean.

Kakashi laughed when he heard that. He also understood that Naruto had a poor foundation. It seemed that he would have to give Naruto a good lesson later.

"But an opponent like this is really not easy to deal with. If you want to defeat him, you must first deal with his puppet." Sakura couldn't help but say worriedly when she saw that each contestant on the stage had his own fighting style.

"It's actually easier to deal with a puppeteer than the real body, but most puppeteers won't expose their real bodies, just like the kid from the Sand Village who hid himself in the props from the beginning so that others couldn't find him. But the puppeteer has to control the puppet after all, and careful observation can help you find the other party's real body through the chakra lines." Ye Lan said this mainly for Sasuke to hear. It is actually not easy for ordinary people to observe the chakra lines, but it is different for those who have the Sharingan.

"Come to think of it, puppet masters are probably most afraid of encountering ninjas like you," Kakashi interjected, and everyone else looked at him to see how he would explain.

"With the Sharingan and your swordsmanship, you are probably the last opponent a puppeteer would want to face."

Ye Lan did not refute. A ninja like him could easily cut any chakra line with the help of the Sharingan. A puppeteer without a puppet was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of him.

Before anything else could be said, it was Sakura's turn, her opponent was her former classmate and now arch-enemy Ino.

Looking at the two girls fighting on the field, Ye Lan frowned and said, "Kakashi, you are such an ordinary student."

"Well... Sakura's strength is her ability to learn. She is indeed lacking in practical aspects."

"Then you have to find a way to teach something. You are not a very qualified teacher..."

"This... let's talk about it after the Chunin Exams. After all, I haven't been teaching them for long. I should understand them first and then find a solution." Logically speaking, Ye Lan is the parent of his students. Although not Sasuke, Kakashi and they all teach students in the same way. He doesn't want Ye Lan to think that his teaching ability is not good because of Sakura.

After Ino complained that Sakura was only concerned with maintaining her hair and not seriously learning ninjutsu, Sakura resolutely cut off her long hair with a kunai to show her determination to become a ninja. For a girl who loves beauty, cutting off her beloved long hair is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing, but Sakura made such a decision without hesitation. This move surprised and impressed Ino, and also inspired her inner fighting spirit.

Ino originally thought that she had the upper hand in this competition, but Sakura's firm attitude made her realize that she could not underestimate her opponent. So, Ino cut off her long hair in front of the surprised eyes of others to show that she was also determined and courageous. In this way, the two girls tied in this overwhelming situation.

Perhaps because they shared the same suffering, these two sworn enemies finally reconciled.

"Damn Sakura actually lost to that Ino guy!" Naruto scratched his hair in distress.

This level of ninja can only go so far. At this time, most of the jonin present thought that the fight between genin was no different from children playing house to them. Ninjas without family background had no trump cards at all, and it all depended on whether the leading jonin would teach them carefully.

The next scene still involves two female ninjas, one is a Konoha Genin with a bun, and the other is a Sand Village ninja with a fan on her back.

The name of this Konoha Genin is Tenten. Her clothing reminds Ye Lan of the traditional clothing of his own country in his previous life, and he can't help but pay attention and observe her.

“Keep going every day!”

"Let them see your strength!" Might Guy and Xiao Li, who was 90% similar to him, shouted loudly.

"It's so noisy." Naruto covered his ears. A kid with his personality would find others noisy.

Tiantian showed off her unparalleled arsenal, throwing kunai, shurikens, hammers, sickles, maces and all kinds of weapons at her opponents as if they were free.

This girl’s fighting style...Ye Lan could see that no matter how strong Tiantian was, her family must be very rich.

Tenten's fighting style looked very gorgeous, but her opponent picked up her exaggerated fan and fanned away the attacks one by one. This Genin named Temari was very good at using wind jutsu, and with the help of that weapon, she easily solved Tenten's attacks.

After Tiantian threw out all her ninja tools, Temari used a wind escape to kill her. Looking at the unconscious Tiantian, she casually threw her into the pile of ninja tools thrown out by Tiantian. At this time, Tiantian's companion Xiao Li couldn't help but jump off the stands and hugged Tiantian.

Pointing at Temari and accusing her of being too much, it was his teacher who stopped Xiao Li.

"What? You're doing this even though you've already won." Naruto whispered at the side.

Ye Lan was too lazy to complain about Naruto. As a ninja who grew up in peacetime, he could not imagine that a life of life and death was the norm for ninjas. On the battlefield, he could not just say "don't kill me" to the opponent when he was losing and expect the other party to show mercy.

After a duel between Shikamaru and a female Oto-nin, it was Naruto's turn.

Seeing Shikamaru use his intelligence to break the opponent's illusion and win the victory with his family's shadow imitation technique, Naruto clasped his hands and prepared to go on the court. He thought of a move, and now it was time for him to perform.

And his opponent is the Genin with a dog, Inuzuka Kiba.

"Come on, Naruto!" Sakura did not get discouraged because she lost the game, and cheered for Naruto.

"Hey, don't lose, you last-place guy." Sasuke also cheered in his own way.

Seeing the names of both parties on the big screen, Ye Lan had some doubts. Only at this time did he know Naruto's last name was Uzumaki. What made him even more confused was that this boy clearly had blond hair. Was it just a coincidence?
