Chapter 25: Uchiha Itachi, you really did not disappoint me

People often have low expectations of villains.

Even if a villain does something good incidentally, it can change people's attitudes towards them. Kabuto believes that Akihara Kagura is not a completely cold-blooded child.

He is a boy with a kind heart.

Akihara Kagura, who has always resented himself and Yakushi Nono, is willing to share important information about the dean with himself. Perhaps the boy's murderous intent is not so strong, just clouded by jealousy and hatred.

Kabuto thought for a while and decided to show some kindness: "I have collected some information about the Chunin exam. The first written test is likely under the surveillance of the examiners, testing the examinees' ability to gather criminal investigation information..."

"What a coincidence."

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile: "It seems I'm not very good at gathering information, so this written test will be a bit difficult for me..."

"Then..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said softly, "Then, may I help you with a little something?"

...

Akihara Kagura's smile deepened.

If you really want to help someone worth helping, you must respect the person asking for help, not offer help in a condescending manner.

Kabuto really understands human relationships.

But...

There's another rule in human relationships.

If someone owes you a big favor, it's best not to let them help you with a small favor. This creates a qualitative exchange for a quantitative one, and in the end, neither party will be satisfied.

"I don't need it."

Akihara Kagura's expression suddenly became cold.

The boy refused Kabuto, saying coldly, "I can handle such small matters myself. Go to the Rock Village and carry out the task Lord Danzo has given you!"

"Alright."

Kabuto slowly nodded.

Akihara Kagura touched his chin, looking back at the distant Ichiraku Ramen shop: "I wonder how long Kakashii-sepai will take to eat at Ichiraku Ramen"

""

Kabuto turned his head back in confusion.

The entry area for the Chunin Exams.

The room for the first written exam was very large.

Groups of Genin were gathered here, chatting leisurely.

While everyone in the room was chatting, their gazes, more or less, would occasionally drift towards a figure in the corner, a very handsome young man.

Uchiha Itachi.

The attention of the entire room was mostly focused on him.

The Genin candidates present were, for the most part, older than Uchiha Itachi. Seeing this ten-year-old kid in the exam venue, they felt somewhat annoyed, especially since he belonged to the Uchiha clan, which the villagers disliked and feared.

"The genius of the Uchiha clan..."

"Is it true that the kid is taking the exam alone?"

"Hmph, the Uchihas always think too highly of themselves. It's normal for them to think they can pass the Chunin Exams alone. Such arrogance for a kid..."

""

Uchiha Itachi stood quietly in his place.

Despite being only a ten-year-old boy, Uchiha Itachi showed more patience than the older Genin, seemingly able to stand quietly forever.

Even though there were continuous discussions about him, he seemed completely indifferent, as if he couldn't hear anything, unconcerned about others' opinions.

Clang!

The room's door suddenly burst open!

With the door kicked open, the entire room instantly fell silent. A figure with white hair stepped into the room, clearly impatient!

"Shut up!"

"This room is the noisiest in the entire building!"

""

The group of Genin immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Because the newcomer was wearing a green Jonin uniform of Konoha, not someone these Genin could casually discuss or mock.

Even

Many Genins recognized his identity.

Hatake Kakashi, a genius Jonin in the village with great fame. It's said that he graduated from the academy at the age of five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve.

In the ninja world, he is often referred to as Cold-blooded Kakashi or Sharingan Kakashi. In terms of both fame and strength, Hatake Kakashi far surpasses the other Jonin in the village.

"The first round of the Chunin Exam has changed venues."

This Jonin waved his hand at them, showing impatience, "You can go now. Head over to the Hokage Building to see the latest notice."

"What!"

"Why would the venue change suddenly?"

"We didn't receive any prior notice!"

"Everyone shut up!"

This Konoha Jonin coldly silenced a group of noisy Genin, his eyes showing obvious disdain: "This is the Hokage's order. This place will be used as a meeting room, and an allies' meeting is about to be convened. Do you want to delay important village matters to you, Genins?"

"..."

The Genin on-site were seething with anger but dared not speak.

"Kakashi-senpai..."

Two adults then stepped forward.

These two adults were supposed to assist in the written part of the Chunin Exam. They were not Genin but were in fact Chunin disguised among the Genin.

After all, the first written test mainly tested the Genins' reconnaissance and intelligence gathering abilities. These two Chunin would pretend to be Genin during the test and write down all the correct answers to the questions, providing the intelligence gathered by the Genin.

"The Chunin responsible for assisting with the written test have also reported to the new venue!"

Hatake Kakashi's expression was filled with impatience, seemingly seeing through their identities but not exposing them, he continued loudly: "Alright, get moving. Don't be late for the new venue. We need to clear this place immediately for Konoha's allies meeting."

"..."

The group of Genin could only quietly leave in groups.

Even when they left, they didn't notice any Chunin maintaining order around them, indicating this place was indeed no longer the venue for the Chunin Exam written test.

The group of Genin obediently headed to the Hokage Building to check the new venue notice.

Unnoticed by anyone, two Chunin responsible for maintaining order were sprawled out, unconscious in a small attic near the stairs.

The entire written test venue's entry area quickly became deserted.

Hatake Kakashi glanced around and his gaze fell on Uchiha Itachi, the only one who hadn't moved: "Hmm? Kid, why aren't you going to the new examination hall?"

"What new examination hall?"

Uchiha Itachi slowly raised his head, but the gentleness of youth was gone from his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why deceive them into going to a new examination hall?"

"That's quite rude to your senpai, isn't it?"

Hatake Kakashi stretched lazily, seemingly a bit displeased: "Kid, even if you are a genius of the Uchiha clan, you should show some respect to your seniors, right?"

"The Jonin in the village wouldn't be as disrespectful as you"

Uchiha Itachi's hand moved towards his ninja tool bag, shaking his head: "The Chunin Exam is a major event for the village, it's unlikely that they would change the examination hall just as the exam is about to start."

"The most important thing is"

Uchiha Itachi's eyes faintly glowed red, and his voice became more serious: "Although your Transformation Technique is clever, under the scrutiny of the Sharingan"

"Tsk"

Hatake Kakashi's figure instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.

A young man revealed his true form, with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Hello there, Uchiha Itachi, Lord Danzo was right, you indeed did not disappoint me"
