Chapter 256: The Chunin Exam Begins
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun in July is scorching, and the afternoon is the hottest time of the day.

On such a sunny day with a very high temperature outside, there was a steady stream of people heading towards the Konoha Ninja School under the scorching sun.

"Hey, Hinata, you're finally here." Under the shade of the big tree opposite the school gate, Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but say hello from a distance as he saw Hyuga Hinata walking slowly towards him.

"Good afternoon, Shino, Kiba, Akamaru." With a faint smile, Hyuga Hinata walked over and greeted.

"Good afternoon, Hinata!" Aburame Shino nodded.

"Woof woof!" Akamaru, the puppy on Inuzuka Kiba's head, also barked twice at Hyuga Hinata to greet him.

"Hey, Hinata, it's already past two o'clock, let's go to classroom 301." Hyuga Hinata had just finished greeting when Inuzuka Kiba beside her couldn't wait to urge.

However, what is a little different from the original work is that although Inuzuka Kiba's tone at this moment is quite impatient, he did not act on his own immediately, but waited for Hyuga Hinata to speak.

In fact, if you read the original work, you will know that at this stage of the Chunin Exam plot, the three people in the Yuhi Kurenai team were actually led by Inuzuka Kiba.

It’s because Aburame Shino’s presence is too low, and Hyuga Hinata in the original work is too introverted.

But now it is different. On the first day after the official class division, in the first mission, Hyuga Hinata established her dominant position in the three-person team.

After all, for Hinata Hyuga, she doesn't even need to use force to deal with kids like Kiba and Shino who have just graduated from school. She can establish her dominant position in the team with just a few tricks.

Afterwards, as Hinata Hyuga absorbed the Rinnegan chakra again and again and made her Byakugan experience fetal movement again and again, Hinata Hyuga didn't even need to use any tricks.

The fact that he couldn't fully control his own aura alone was enough to scare Akamaru and Shino's insects into trembling.

In fact, it was not that Hinata Hyuga did this on purpose, but she really could not control her eyes which had not been completely transformed.

After Baiyan experienced two or three fetal movements, the pressure it inadvertently exuded was enough to make insects and dogs that were sensitive to the smell want to stay away from it.

If Hinata Hyuga's own spiritual energy reserves had not been precisely suppressed by Ipsilon during this period and had not increased much, Hinata Hyuga would probably have reached the standard of a jonin long ago.

After all, she had completed the absorption of the Samsara Eye chakra seven times during these three months.

According to Miyano Shiho, if the Rinnegan cannot be formed after absorbing it next time, it will definitely work the next time.

In fact, if the Chunin Exams were not approaching, Hyuga Hinata would have already started her eighth absorption.

Although Hinata Hyuga's eyes have not yet been able to form the Rinnegan after seven times and she cannot use the abilities of the Rinnegan, her Byakugan has surpassed Kaguya's after seven transformations.

At least the Byakugan·Intimidation that Kaguya can use can also be used by Hyuga Hinata at this moment, and the effect of this Intimidation is already a somewhat degraded version of the power of Shinra Tensei.

Of course, Hinata Hyuga discovered that the function of her Byakugan was not just to intimidate. As for its other functions, she really didn't have time to figure them out.

After all, in the past three months, he had either been absorbing the Rinnegan chakra or stabilizing his eyes, and had not had much time to study his eyes properly.

If the eighth absorption had not been stopped because of the Chunin Exam, she would not even have mastered the technique of intimidation.

"Okay!" Hyuga Hinata nodded slightly.

With Hinata Hyuga's order, Inuzuka Kiba finally took a step forward and walked towards the school gate.

After entering the teaching building of the Ninja School, Hinata Hyuga sensed a strange chakra as soon as she went upstairs.

"Hinata." Aburame Shino, who was the last of the three, spoke at this moment.

But before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Hyuga Hinata, "It's okay, Shino."

"What's wrong with Hinata?" Inuzuka Kiba, who was at the front, turned around and asked after hearing the voice.

"It's okay, Ya, just follow my instructions." Hyuga Hinata said.

"I understand." Hearing the word "command", Inuzuka Kiba's originally excited expression suddenly became serious.

After all, he had been ordered around several times in these three months.

And the results of each command proved one thing, that is, Hinata Hyuga's judgment was correct.

Once trust is established, Inuzuka Kiba will naturally choose to obey.

As they walked and talked up to the second floor, the three of them saw two people guarding the door of 301 not far away, apparently trying to prevent others from entering.

"Hinata, what should we do?" Inuzuka Kiba asked Hyuga Hinata while walking forward.

"Ya, just keep moving forward and ignore those two people." Hyuga Hinata replied indifferently.

"Keep moving forward?" Inuzuka Kiba didn't quite understand what Hyuga Hinata meant.

"Ya, this is the second floor." Aburame Shino's voice came from behind.

"Second floor?" Inuzuka Kiba was surprised for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

No wonder he felt something was wrong. After all, he had studied here for several years and was very familiar with the situation in the Ninja School.

In fact, the illusions performed by the gate gods Gang Zitetsu and Kamijou Izumo on the second floor were not only aimed at the Genin of Konoha, but more at the Genin of other villages.

After all, everyone in this village has studied in a ninja school. Anyone with a good memory knows the layout of a ninja school.

Applying for the Chunin level is actually an easy question, which is the so-called host country advantage.

As for the farce created by Hyuga Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee in the original work, it should not be a task assigned by the village, but they themselves wanted to eliminate some opponents in advance by registering for the level.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have staged this time-wasting farce on the second floor just when the registration time was approaching.

After all, a Genin who can't even see through the second-floor illusion won't be able to pass the Chuunin exam.

It’s better to be expelled now than to die in the exam later.

This is also the reason why this application level was set up.

Walking along the corridor, the three of them soon passed by the transformed Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu.

The two did not say anything to stop them, but let the three people walk through the corridor towards the stairs at the end.

After the three people left, Shen Yue Chu Yun said to Gang Zi Tie: "Did you feel it just now?"

"Ah, I feel it. The gaze behind the mask is very oppressive. I originally wanted to speak up to stop it." Gang Zitie nodded.

"That must be the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family. She doesn't give the impression of a Genin at all. What kind of Hyuga family is this..." Kanzuki Izumo couldn't help but speak, but was interrupted by Gang Zitie before he finished speaking.

"It's none of our business what those big families do. Now that someone has come, let's just do our part."

"That's right!" After stepping onto the third floor, the three of them didn't walk far before they saw Xi Ri Hong waiting there.

"You're here!" Xihihong said.

"Yes, Teacher Hong!" Ya answered immediately.

"Hinata, Kiba, Shino, do your best in the next test!" Kurenai Yuhi is not as cunning as Kakashi. She had already explained everything that needed to be explained when the application forms were distributed.

So the only purpose of her appearance at this moment was to cheer up the three of them.

"Oh, leave everything to me. Teacher Hong, just watch, we will definitely pass the Chunin Selection Exam." Inuzuka Kiba answered quickly.

"Hinata, I'll leave them two to you." After Yuhi Kurenai nodded to Inuzuka Kiba, she said to Hyuga Hinata.

After all, Xiurihong is very clear about who is the strongest in her team.

Although her status as a jonin is a bit watered down, she at least possesses the strength of a special jonin, so she does have some judgment.

Although Hyuga Hinata has never used much strength in front of her, Yuhi Kurenai also knows that the strongest among the three must be her only female disciple.

"I understand, Teacher Hong." Hyuga Hinata nodded and said.

"Very good, then go in, I'm waiting for your good news." Xi Ri Hong immediately stepped aside and said.

"Yoshia!" Inuzuka Kiba yelled, then walked forward, opened the door, and walked in.

Entering 301, there were already quite a few ninjas gathered in the classroom.

"Is this the Chunin Exam? It looks like it's going to be intense." Inuzuka Kiba felt many gazes as he came in.

"What should we do?" It was Aburame Shino who spoke this time.

"Just find a place to sit down and wait." Hyuga Hinata said lightly.

After the three of them found an empty seat and sat down to wait, more people opened the door and walked in one after another. It was almost 3 o'clock when Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke walked in.

"Hinata, do you want to go say hello?" When Inuzuka Kiba saw that Yamanaka Ino had thrown herself on Uchiha Sasuke, he asked Hyuga Hinata, who had not yet stood up to prepare.

"There's no need for that." Although Li De had told the girls the general plot of Naruto, it was relatively general and it was impossible to go into detail about every scene.

Therefore, the specific details are controlled by Hinata Hyuga herself.

As for why Hinata Hyuga didn't intend to go forward at this moment, it was mainly because of Uzumaki Naruto.

Although she replaced Hinata Hyuga and accepted Hinata Hyuga's memories and life, Yukihime is not Hinata Hyuga after all, and it is impossible for her to inherit her feelings for Uzumaki Naruto.

After all, in her opinion, compared with Uzumaki Naruto and Li De, he is just a firefly competing with the bright moon.

One is that he looks down on her, and the other is that everything she has belongs to Ipsilon, and even more to Li De, so when she sees Uzumaki Naruto, she naturally has to avoid him.

So when Inuzuka Kiba asked, Hyuga Hinata shook her head and chose to watch from afar.

The appearance of Kabuto Yakushi immediately afterwards made Hinata Hyuga narrow her eyes slightly, because this man was the person that her Majesty had specifically mentioned.

Through the Byakugan, Hyuga Hinata also confirmed that the chakra reserves in Kabuto Yakushi's body had indeed reached the level of a jonin.

This is not something that Pharmacist Kabuto can disguise by simply restraining his aura.

Of course, although she knew it, Hinata Hyuga had no intention of exposing Kabuto Yakushi's true colors.

Especially after he was deliberately hit by Toss Anvil's sonic trick.

"What? He looks very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable." Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but speak when he saw Kabuto Yakushi vomiting.

"Hinata, did you understand the moves that Sound Ninja used just now?" Aburame Shino asked in a low voice.

As soon as Aburame Shino opened her mouth, Inuzuka Kiba, who had been full of disdain just now, immediately came over.

"It's the ninja tool in his hand, and it's related to the sonic vibration." Hyuga Hinata said briefly.

"Ninja tools? It seems we need to pay attention to his ninja tools when we meet this guy." Inuzuka Kiba said immediately.

Just as he finished speaking, Morino Ibiki appeared with a group of examiners.

Although she was a little reluctant, according to the number on the admission ticket, Hinata Hyuga had to sit next to Uzumaki Naruto.

However, Hyuga Hinata definitely had no intention of showing her paper to him.

After getting the test paper, Hyuga Hinata started writing on her own.

As for Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino, she was not worried. After all, a quick observation would reveal that this exam was testing cheating, that is, the ability to collect information, and the two of them had some means in this regard.

As time passed, the first exam quickly came to an end with Naruto Uzumaki's roar.

The appearance of Mitarashi Anko means that the second battle for the scroll assessment in the Death Forest has officially begun.

Some time after the assessment began, in the Death Forest, looking at the fallen ninja from the outer village, Inuzuka Kiba asked Hinata Hyuga with the scroll in his hand: "Hinata, what should we do next? Should we continue to hunt other teams?"

"Kana, there's no point in continuing the hunt. It will only increase the risk of failure." Before Hinata Hyuga could speak, Shino Aburame on the side objected.

"Let's go to the tower. After all, the examiner didn't say that the second exam is the final selection. We should save the extra energy for later." Hyuga Hinata said slowly.

"That's it! Let's go, Akamaru! Since we're not going to continue hunting, let's take down the fastest cleared legend."

"Wang!"

Then the group headed towards the tower.

After walking for a distance, Inuzuka Kiba, who was in the front, suddenly slowed down and made a gesture to Aburame Shino who was catching up from behind.

As for Hyuga Hinata, as early as when Inuzuka Kiba slowed down, she had already seen with her own eyes the unlucky guy from the Hidden Rain Village who was being slaughtered by Gaara diagonally in front of her.

"Hinata, there is movement ahead. Should we go and take a look? Akamaru senses a dangerous aura." Inuzuka Kiba asked Hyuga Hinata softly.

"They are ninjas from the Sand Village. They are very troublesome. Let's avoid them." Hinata Hyuga did not want to confront Gaara head-on.

Before everyone took the exam, Hyuga Hinata got information about the Chunin Exam and knew those people were the characters that needed attention.

Kabuto Yakushi and Gaara are both mentioned here and are characters that need special attention.
