After a short silence.

Hiruzen unhurriedly took out his pipe, took a slow drag on it, looking at Suikazan and Junin Kumo, and then said, exhaling smoke: "this is the end of the Chuunin exam."​​

Shinku yuhi, who was standing next to him, suppressed the shock in his heart and turned to Suikazan: "Yes, there is only one participant left, the third stage is not possible."

It seems Kirigakure intended to demonstrate the horror of the Blood Mist by eliminating all teams during the second stage and causing the Chuunin exam to be completed early, this goal was eventually achieved, but their team was completely defeated.

No one could have predicted such an outcome.

When Juha looked at the screen and smiled softly at him, watching as Erase took the scrolls and went to the Central tower.

Anyway ...

Fine work, son of White Fang!

...

Outside the Central tower.

Erase walked to the entrance, here it was met by the chief examiner of the second stage Tavern Yuxi.

"Congratulations on passing the second stage of the Chuunin exam. "

" This should be the last stage, shouldn't it?"

: "It looks like the teams of Kiri and Kumo were hunting other teams, I have all the scrolls here."

shinku already knew about this and was not surprised, but watching Yeruashi take out all the scrolls, He still involuntarily sighed.

Only one person passed the second stage of the Chuunin exam.

No one expected that Yeruashi, previously always hidden in the shadow of his younger brother, has such an amazing talent, whether it's strength, mentality or judgment, he surpasses Kakashi in everything.

"You're right, the third stage has already

been canceled.": "Follow me, Lord Hokage is waiting for you."

of Course Hiruzen is already here.

Yeruashi was not surprised, he nodded and followed Shinku, soon they entered the Central hall of the tower on the second floor, where the Hokage stood.

Yeruashi's eyes flashed for a moment, showing surprise as Orochimaru stood next to Hiruzen.

"Orochimaru was the main examiner of the third stage? Probably not..."

In the head of Erase flashed the thought, the grade of chief examiners already was higher than the standard, someone like Orochimaru could be one of them.

Yeruashi dismissed this thought, stepped forward and greeted the Hokage: "Lord Hokage."

These cold and hostile looks belonged to Suikazan of Kiri and the unknown Jounin of Kumo.

"..."

Yeruashi's gaze met Suikazan's for a moment, then returned to Hiruzen, who was not at all afraid of the two jounins of the enemy villages.

Now it will be difficult for him to deal with Jounin, especially with Suikazan, one Of the seven Mist swordsmen, whose strength should be close to the level of Kage.

But this is Konoha.

There are several Konoha Jounins present, not to mention Hiruzen and Orochimaru, Suikazan and Jounin Kumo just looked at him coldly and hostilely, not even daring to release a murderous intent.

As for the future...

If they were to encounter each other on the battlefield, given yeruashi's growth rate, He wouldn't necessarily be any weaker than the two of them, perhaps by then he would have surpassed Jounin's level by reaching the Kage level.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the Chuunin exam."

: "You have shown yourself well and from today on you are a Chuunin of Konoha, never forget that! "

" Yes. "

Yeruashi bowed.

Orochimaru, who was standing nearby, lifted the corner of his mouth, showing a hint of a smile, and said: "In the past, your father was kind to me and even gave me some help...you know me? Hatake Of Eroiche."

Seeing that Orochimaru seems interested in him, of Erase thought of something and turned to him: "You must be one of the three legendary Sannin, Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru grinned and opened his arms to the sides: "Given this amazing talent, it will be difficult for an ordinary Jounin to become a good mentor for you, how about...becoming my disciple?"

Eye Erase flashed in his mind instantly flashed a lot of thoughts.

The situation becomes troublesome.

How can he reject this offer?

Hiruzen was surprised by these words of Orochimaru, he barely noticeably frowned, and after a short thought, suddenly made a decision: "In that case, from now on, you're following Orochimaru, Yeruashi."

Yeruashi:"??? "

What the hell?!

I didn't even have time to say anything!

Now he was trying to deal with Danzo, but he got caught in a snake's nest halfway?

The corners of the mouth of Erase twitched.

Becoming a disciple of Orochimaru is undoubtedly a huge danger, just look at his students from the original, they almost all received a "gift" in the form of a cursed seal.

But still becoming a disciple of Orochimaru has its advantages, on the one hand, it will eliminate the threat from Danzo, on the other hand, Orochimaru has great knowledge in the field of ninjutsu.

It's like riding a ferocious tiger ... no, more like riding a slippery snake....

thinking about it, Yeruashi couldn't help but sigh.

Since hiruzen had already made such a decision, He couldn't refuse and even guessed why it had happened.

Although Hiruzen is leaning more towards Minato's candidacy, he still hasn't made a final decision at the moment.

If he rejects this proposal to Orochimaru, while making Kakashi a student of Minato, not to mention some criticism from the village, first of all, Orochimaru himself will be very dissatisfied with this.

Now the situation in the world of shinobi is very tense.

It is necessary to maintain maximum stability within the village.

" ... "

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Orochimaru smiled faintly, at this time, Sannin still hoped to take the post of the Fourth Hokage, on the one hand, he made this offer because of the amazing talent of Yeruashi, and on the other hand, he checked Hiruzen's attitude.

You can't handle everything on your own. To maintain the stability of the village, the Hokage must have a worthy successor as an assistant.

The decision to transfer the genius Kakashi under the leadership of Minato contains a deep subtext, this suggests that Minato is among the main candidates for the post of the Fourth Hokage.

After learning about this, Orochimaru decided to test Hiruzen's attitude.

If Orochimaru's attempt to take yeruashi as an apprentice was stopped by hiruzen, It would indicate that He is not among the candidates for the post of Fourth Hokage, but the decision suggests that the final choice has not yet been made.

"But I do not know who you will choose in the end...teacher Hiruzen..."
