Chapter 130, The Duel of Genjutsu.

What Raijin didn't expect was that Tsunade's match was scheduled for the last one.

For this reason, Raijin watched all the matches.

Originally, there were eleven people who advanced to the second round of the exam, but because Duy couldn't participate, ten people just had five matches.

And it was in the second round of the exam that the final five people who advanced were all Genin from Konohagakure.

So far, the Chunin exam and other hidden villages have completely lost any connection.

But the other four Kage didn't mean to leave, watching the battle between Konohagakure ninjas was also very good.

It can also give them a more comprehensive understanding of Konohagakure's new generation.

But the process of the third round of the exam made everyone completely unable to hold back.

"The first match of the third round, Orochimaru vs. Hyuga Yang!"

Nara Shinkichi announced to everyone.

"I surrender."

As soon as he entered the stage, even before forming the opposing seal, Orochimaru directly spoke to Nara Shikaku.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Yang was taken aback and looked at Orochimaru in surprise.

"I can't get first place anyway, so what's the difference between fifth and fourth?"

Orochimaru said to Hyuga Yang with a smile.

To have a real fight with Hyuga Yang and then expose more of his own weaknesses to the ninjas of other hidden villages?

Don't be ridiculous.

It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

If you say who in other villages can defeat Uchiha Raijin, Orochimaru is not sure, but in his own village, the only one who might be able to do it, Might Duy, is still in Konohagakure hospital drinking millet porridge.

So, the forbidden technique in the sealing book is basically confirmed.

So why fight?

For Orochimaru, first or second place is not important, what's important is the technique.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Yang nodded. He couldn't do anything if he didn't agree.

After all, he couldn't change Orochimaru's will.

With a casual wave of his hand, Orochimaru leisurely returned to the stands.

"Next, I'll have to ask you, Raijin-kun."

On the stands, Orochimaru said to Raijin with a smile on his face.

"Then you definitely won't get the forbidden technique in the sealing book."

Upon hearing this, Raijin opened his mouth and looked at Orochimaru beside him somewhat speechlessly.

Interesting, who can't admit defeat?

"Would Tsunade let Raijin surrender?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade beside Raijin in a leisurely manner.

"I don't mind, as long as Raijin is happy."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Orochimaru with an idiotic look.

Interesting, do you think I would speak for you?

"Anyway, the techniques in the sealing book, Raijin and I have learned almost all of them."

After thinking about it, Tsunade continued.

Upon hearing this, Raijin immediately looked at Orochimaru with a provocative face.

Orochimaru: "??!"

At this moment, Orochimaru was really a little panicked.

No way...

"Don't make trouble, don't disgust the children in your own village."

Seeing his beloved disciple being bullied, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Raijin's side and said.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not wrong. With the previous example of a throat-sealing sword against the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, whoever Raijin concedes to next, the sharp knife of public opinion will be pointed at him.

Of course, except for Tsunade.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Raijin nodded. He was just trying to scare Orochimaru, he didn't take it seriously.

"Ah... after all, there is still some gap, not as good as Tsunade-hime and Raijin-kun, I can't learn the technique I want to learn."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Raijin and Tsunade, and said sourly, but there was a hint of a smile in the corner of his eye.

"Do you think it's really that happy to learn whatever you want?"

Upon hearing this, Raijin sighed and pursed his lips somewhat helplessly.

"Huh? Isn't it happy like this?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was taken aback and looked at Raijin in confusion.

Does it mean that to learn those techniques, you have to pay some price?

"It's happier than you think."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru and said softly.

Orochimaru: "...!"

Why don't you all just die?

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to the three-person conversation and couldn't help but purse his lips. After a moment of thought, he strolled over to his friend Danzo.

"How is your disciple doing?"

"There's still hope."

Danzo sighed helplessly and replied to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As the conversation unfolded, Danzo glanced at Raijin and his companions, who were laughing and chatting in the distance.

"Aren't you happy to have such outstanding disciples?"

In Danzo's eyes, achieving first place in the Chunin exam was a significant accomplishment. As Sarutobi Hiruzen's student, Raijin's success must surely bring him joy.

"Hmm? Do you think having exceptional disciples automatically brings happiness?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking troubled as he addressed Danzo.

"Why?"

Danzo was puzzled. "Is it because Tsunade and Raijin come from powerful backgrounds? Is that why you find it difficult to discipline them?"

If that were the case, Danzo thought he could discuss it with their teacher. Even if their backgrounds were strong, as students, they should still follow their teacher's guidance. Otherwise, what was the point of having a teacher?

"Ah..."

Facing Danzo's inquisitive and concerned gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned away, sighing and shaking his head.

In that instant, as he turned, the helplessness on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face transformed into an uncontrollable smirk.

He faced Danzo again, grinning mischievously. "I'm even happier than you can imagine!"

Danzo stood frozen for a moment, then clenched his fists tightly.

"Sarutobi!"

Trying to control his emotions, but failing miserably.

Oh well, no need to hold back!

As Danzo lunged toward Sarutobi Hiruzen, the latter had already anticipated the move and distanced himself.

...

Meanwhile, the competition continued in the arena.

For the third round of the exam, only three participants remained after Orochimaru's surrender.

"Third round: Raijin versus Kurama Yunma!"

Raijin stepped forward, facing off against Kurama Yunma with hand seals.

"I know I'm no match for you," Kurama Yunma said after completing the seals. "But I'd like to test our Genjutsu skills. I want to see how much distance remains between Kurama and Uchiha in this area."

"Genjutsu, huh? Maybe another time, but not today," Raijin shook his head, addressing Kurama Yunma.

"This match is important to a friend of mine, so I'll give it my all."

"Regardless of the outcome, consider yourself the winner," Kurama Yunma said, glancing at Nara Shikichi.

"Agreed," Nara Shikichi nodded, seeking Senju Tobirama's approval. "In that case, let's begin."

With a nod, Raijin activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan. The Genjutsu battle commenced.
