Chapter 29: Konoha Is My Battlefield! (2/2)
At this moment, the Third Hokage had an absurd thought.
Wakaho... actually seems quite similar to Tōmura?
The Third Hokage let out a deep sigh.
Calming down, he realized that the little guy wasn't entirely wrong.
Even though the exam site wasn't a battlefield, the exam itself was meant to challenge the opponents.
Wakaho's actions seemed excessive... well, they were excessive, but his intentions weren't wrong.
On the contrary, if this had been a real battlefield, no one in the village would have criticized Wakaho's methods, except to admire his ability to intimidate the enemy.
This little guy... seems quite suited for the battlefield?
Too bad Wakaho couldn't hear this.
If he had, he would have given the Third Hokage a thumbs-up and announced:
"That's right, I'm destined for the battlefield, and I've already treated Konoha as my battlefield!"
"Ha..."
After thinking it over, the Third Hokage sighed again.
This child's mindset... is rather unique.
It's not dangerous, but it's too straightforward.
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, he's still young and can be guided by his mentors and family to find the right path.
The problem is, this child is extraordinarily talented, with immense power for his age.
He also possesses a special Kekkei Genkai.
That's a bit troublesome...
But it's manageable.
He has a group of old comrades to consult on how to handle the situation.
He has an excellent disciple who can help restrain this little guy.
As for the damage caused to Konoha this time...
Fugaku should understand, right?
"You can go for now, Little Wakaho."
The Third Hokage, exhausted both mentally and physically, waved his hand. "Go and rest. As for the future..."
The Third Hokage paused. Although the Chunin Exams had been suspended, according to the rules...
This child seems to have no more opponents for the third exam?
"Grandpa Hokage, when can I wear the Chunin vest?"
"I've promised my grandmother."
Wakaho wouldn't give the Third Hokage a chance to avoid the question.
He was eagerly waiting to unlock the three-tomoe Sharingan and study his Dragon Roar technique.
Riding on a fire dragon, bombarding the enemy...
Just thinking about it was thrilling!
Speaking of which, when can he figure out how to obtain Wood Release?
As a Uchiha, it seemed inappropriate to bring it up.
Maybe... ask Orochimaru for help?
But if he could ask Orochimaru for help, other forbidden techniques, like the Flying Thunder God, might also be tempting.
"Well... I still need to discuss with the other elders, Little Wakaho."
The Third Hokage did not give a definite answer.
"You should go for now and wait for further notice..."
...
Wakaho waited for a whole week.
During this week, he frequently visited the Konoha Security Department, asking about Taijutsu and Genjutsu.
But Fugaku rarely appeared. Wakaho only saw him a few times and noticed that Fugaku seemed unusually exhausted, his entire demeanor lacking spirit, looking gaunt and drained.
Moreover, he often seemed to hesitate, not revealing what exactly was happening.
Until, a week later.
Wakaho received a notice to attend the third exam.
And on that day.
Orochimaru also arrived...
