Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 106 Polite Arrogance

Akali plans to ask Hinata about the story between Team 7 after Hayate Gekko finishes telling it.

However, since Team 7 was not involved this time, Hayate Gekko's explanation was completed quickly.

Before Akali could even react, he announced the disbandment of the team.

"Ok?"

Akali, regaining her senses, glanced at Kabuto, who was not far from her and walking towards the stands with them, and let out a puzzled nasal sound.

Wasn't Kabuto supposed to have withdrawn at this point to avoid being exposed?

Why are they still alive?

Meanwhile, it's unclear whether they just happened to notice or were already keeping an eye on Akali.

Noticing Akali's gaze, the apothecary turned around and gave a nauseatingly fake smile.

"Tsk!"

Akali frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure.

She seemed to understand why Yakushi Kabuto had kept him around—to test her, of course.

I just don't know who gave the mission to the pharmacist. Was it Danzo? Orochimaru? Or both?

Honestly, Akali thought she was out of the running in the qualifiers, and that a seeded player like her would definitely be kept in the main tournament, but she didn't expect there to be any flies.

Since that's the case, I'll find an opportunity to swat this fly later.

Akali casually decided Kabuto's fate.

Akali wasn't particularly fond of Kabuto Yakushi, and she wasn't like Kabuto Yakushi Nono.

at the same time.

[Ding! Your emotional value from Kabuto is +1111!]

Kabuto, who was observing Akali, suddenly felt a chill in his heart for some reason, as if he were being watched by something.

He instinctively looked towards Akali.

At that moment, Hinata, who was very familiar with Akali, had a sudden inspiration and noticed the coldness emanating from her, so she turned her head in confusion.

"What's wrong, Akali?"

"nothing!"

Akali's cold expression vanished quickly, as if it had never existed.

After all, would you care how many flies you've swatted?

She took Hinata's hand and walked towards the stands: "Let's go, there are twenty-four of us. We don't know who we'll run into."

"Hey, Hinata, do you think I might run into you? Maybe we should just play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner."

"Huh? Dame da yo!"

Hearing Akali's flippant suggestion, Hinata quickly shook her head: "That's too childish! The Hokage and so many Jonin are watching!"

"So what? Let them watch. Match-fixing is part of the rules, and they have to try it!"

Akali said without restraint, "Besides, I'm getting a little tired of the Chunin Exams. It wouldn't hurt to get some rest early!"

Akali!

"Hi Hi!"

Faced with a serious Hinata, Akali raised her hands in surrender, and the two of them tugged at each other as they walked toward the stands.

Seeing this, Kabuto withdrew his gaze, his heart finally at ease.

Because no matter how he looked at it, Akali was just a lively twelve-year-old girl who was a bit effeminate in front of strangers.

Although the information from Orochimaru and Danzo told him that Akali was not an ordinary person.

However, Orochimaru and Danzo also told him that Akali was under the spell of the Heavenly Curse and had not sealed herself away due to her arrogance. Her current strength was only one-tenth of what it used to be, which is why they sent him to test her.

So, the sense of crisis I felt just now was probably just an illusion... right?

Reassured, Kabuto began to think about the battle that was about to begin.

Shortly after, the names of the players facing off in the first round were displayed on the electronic screen for the preliminary rounds.

What a coincidence! It was Akali and Kabuto!

Moonlight Gale looked at the crowd in the stands: "Selected candidates, please come before me!"

Hearing Moonlight Gale's words, Akali performed a clean 360° somersault and jumped off the stands.

Kabuto, on the other hand, walked slowly and gradually approached Akali.

Kabuto Yakushi's expression remained as gentle as ever: "Yo, junior, we meet again."

"My luck is really bad. It seems that I will have to stop here in this Chunin Exam."

"But don't expect me to give up so easily. Even a broken ship has some nails!"

Akali raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll weigh it for you later!"

"Referee, can we begin?"

Akali didn't waste any time and went straight to asking Moonlight Gale.

"Anytime is fine, as long as neither of you has any objections."

Hayate Gekko replied, looking at the two of them: "So, the first match will be between Akali and Kabuto. Do you have any questions?"

"If there are no problems, then let's start..."

Moonlight Gale wants to announce the start.

Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any problems. Once the opponent is chosen, it's impossible to change them. If you want to quit, you should have quit beforehand. So he was just asking.

However, Moonlight Gale overlooked, or rather, because he was often recuperating, Red Bean and Ibihi didn't have a chance to tell him.

In front of him was Akali!

Akali raised her little hand: "Yes!"

[Ding! Moonlight Gale's emotional value +6!]

Moonlight Gale looked at Akali strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"I remember during the second exam, we signed a waiver of liability."

Akali's smile was sweet but laced with malice: "Will this thing be accepted in the qualifiers? In other words, it should be fine if it kills someone, right?"

Listen to Akali's words.

[Ding! Emotional value from Hayate Gekko/Kakashi/Third Hokage/Orochimaru/Naruto/Sasuke... +999!]

Everyone was shocked!

They never expected Akali to be so audacious, asking right away if she could kill someone!

At this moment, Kabuto's expression turned horrified!

After all, the Akali were standing right in front of him.

Such a question... Akali wanted to kill her? But why?

He just wanted some information!

[Ding! Your emotional value from Kabuto is +9999!]

Kabuto was somewhat unsettled, even feeling wronged.

But Moonlight Gale didn't care whether he felt wronged or not.

Hearing Akali's question, Moonlight Gale answered seriously, "In principle, deaths are allowed in the qualifiers."

"But the Chunin Exams are primarily a competition. If an extreme situation arises, as the examiner, I will intervene in time to save the examinee."

"Furthermore, for the safety of the examinees, Konoha has equipped a complete medical team. As long as there is still a breath left, the medical team can save you, so you don't need to worry too much about life and death."

"I see! So, if I were to commit murder, I have to take your involvement, examiner, into account!"

Akali muttered to herself loudly, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, as if plotting something.

She then bowed very politely to Moonlight Gale to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for your answers, examiner!"

[Ding! Moonlight Gale's emotional value +1111!]

Moonlight Gale doesn't quite understand Akali.

You might call her arrogant, but she really is arrogant; she said she would kill someone right in front of you.

But you could say she's polite, and she really is; she even thanked you!

So what about the current genin?

Moonlight Gale slowly typed out a question mark.

However, despite not understanding Akali very much.

Having spent so many years in Konoha, and possessing a lineage, bloodline, and even a wife, Hayate Gekko is not a Muggle.

In other words, his physical disability overshadowed his status as a winner in life.

So Hayate Gekko knew that it was normal for Konoha geniuses to be arrogant; Akali was nothing compared to that.

Even Akali's words didn't seem like a provocation to Moonlight Gale.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After a symbolic cough, Moonlight Gale opened his eyes, which were heavily circled with dark circles, and said calmly and respectfully, "It's alright. It's my duty to answer the questions of the examinees."

"At the same time, I want to reiterate that as the chief examiner for the preliminary rounds and even the third exam, I am absolutely capable of stopping your fighting, so please rest assured!"

After saying that, Gekko Hayate looked at Yakushi Kabuto again.

His meaning was clear: Akali looks like a tough opponent now, do you want to back out?

"Tsk!" Noticing Hayate Gekko's gaze, Kabuto Yakushi instantly understood what he meant.

But that's precisely the problem. Normally, after Akali demonstrated her strength in the first game, she should have quit at this point.

But Kabuto Yakushi came with a mission, and he ended up being held hostage.

So even when faced with such an obvious gaze from Hayate Gekko, Kabuto Yakushi could only pretend not to understand and maintain a fake smile.

Upon seeing this, Moonlight Gale's lifeless eyes flickered slightly, and a new thought began to form in his mind.

On the viewing platform, all the Jonin who witnessed this scene wore thoughtful expressions.

After waiting a few seconds, Moonlight Gale asked:

"The first match will be between Akali and Kabuto. Any questions?"

Akali: "No!"

Kabuto Yakushi: "...No!"

"Very good!" Moonlight Gale nodded, crossed his arms, and waved: "The first match begins!"

After saying that, Moonlight Gale jumped back away from the two people in the arena, but not by too much distance.

To be honest, he was also very curious about how Akali could kill Kabuto while he was watching.

At the same time, Yakushi Kabuto quickly formed hand seals.

Pale blue chakra surged into his hands, transforming into cellular-level blades!

A-Rank Ninjutsu - Chakra Scalpel!

Kabuto Yakushi felt a surge of confidence after successfully using his signature ninjutsu.

But before anyone could be amazed by Kabuto's chakra scalpel, Akali was instantly split into four!

"Hahahahaha!"

Accompanied by hoarse, low, maniacal laughter.

An invisible pressure descended upon Kabuto Yakushi.

Even Orochimaru could suppress the Shungoku Shadow Killing Formation, so suppressing Kabuto Yakushi would be a piece of cake.

Feeling the pressure emanating from his body, Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed drastically!

[Ding! Your emotional value from Kabuto is +9999!]

Looking at Akali, who was standing around him, Kabuto Yakushi was completely unable to understand what had happened.

He certainly couldn't understand it.

Because at this moment, only the Byakugan and Sharingan can clearly see what happened to Kabuto Yakushi!

Unseen shadows stretched out from beneath Shadow Akali's feet, linking to Kabuto Yakushi like a Shadow Imitation Technique.

The shadows climbed up his body and turned into chains. Even though Kabuto Yakushi's chakra scalpel could cut through anything, how could he cut through something invisible?

"it's over!"

In the stands, Kakashi shook his head.

When the examinee named Kabuto Yakushi used his chakra scalpel, he felt a sense of crisis; it seemed that Kabuto had something special about him.

But looking at the situation where Akali was holding him captive, he did have some skills, but not many.

Kakashi looked away, glanced at Sakura who was standing sullenly to the side, and then felt a headache for the first time in a long time.

He never imagined that something like that would happen during the second exam.

To be honest, Kakashi was quite annoyed with Sasuke.

But for now, let's focus more on Sakura.

After organizing his thoughts, Kakashi walked over to Sakura.

However, before he could begin to persuade Sakura, a series of exclamations interrupted his steps.

On Akali's side, she had just used the Instant Shadow Kill Formation to suppress Kabuto Yakushi, and then her four shadow clones used their respective methods, with one ferocious slash after another appearing on Kabuto Yakushi's body.

But the focus of everyone's attention was not Akali's finishing blow, but Kabuto Yakushi.

The instant Akali's blade left him, or even before it left, Kabuto's severed flesh began to efficiently repair itself!

Wielding chakra scalpels in both hands, he used a life-or-death approach, slashing several times at Akali's shadow clone.

"What's this."

Seeing Kabuto's body rapidly repairing itself, the four shadow Akalis asked each a question they already knew the answer to.

"Hehe!" Kabuto didn't answer.

That's for sure. Right now, the enemy is strong and he is weak. To still try to explain this is just asking for trouble.

But his silence doesn't mean that the many Jonin in the stands couldn't see it.

"Yin Healing and Wound Destruction, Rank A Medical Ninjutsu!"

Kakashi's eyes were serious: "By knowing the enemy's attack points in advance and healing them before the enemy attacks, we can minimize the damage we receive."

"Such a technique requires extremely strong instantaneous judgment, the ability to predict the enemy, and of course, the most important thing is medical ability."

"But both of the former require constant combat to hone, and they're not important. If you really have such medical skills, why not become a medical ninja?"

It's important to know that, because of Tsunade's existence, the status of medical ninjas in Konoha is exceptionally high, unparalleled in the world.

To put it simply, even during wartime, enemy village ninjas would not kill Konoha's medical ninjas unless absolutely necessary, even if they captured them. Instead, they would wait until the war ended to exchange prisoners.

Konoha's medical ninjas, if not comparable to pilots of equal weight Gold Saints, are definitely not far behind.

"There's something wrong with this Yakushi Kabuto!"

The many Jonin in the stands made their judgments instantly.

"Damn it!" The Jonin's tangible suspicion made Kabuto Yakushi grit his teeth in discomfort.

He never expected that in just the first exchange, his underwear would be almost completely exposed, which would be fatal for a spy like him!

But Kabuto Yakushi quickly forgot about all that.

At the same time, a teasing female voice rang out behind him.

"You dare to be distracted when fighting me?"

"You've got guts!"

"Pfft!"

As Akali spoke, a scythe slash struck Kabuto Yakushi's back, causing blood to splatter everywhere!
