Because the Divine Tree needs a very, very long time to absorb the power of the earth, and time is measured in years, Kaguya Otsutsuki used Infinite Tsukuyomi as soon as she was resurrected. This allowed the Divine Tree to quickly obtain chakra by absorbing it from the ninjas. Absorbing chakra from the ground is not as fast as directly absorbing it from the ninjas, who are like mobile batteries!
Wang Xiaoming also intends to do this. That's right, he plans to use Infinite Tsukuyomi.
To be honest, Naruto, the manga initially depicted a story for young people. When Wang Xiaoming was young and naive, he found it quite inspiring. But as he grew older, he only had one sentence to summarize Naruto: Dark and morbid.
The entire Naruto world is morbid, just like the world where Wang Luffy from next door resides. Both are morbid.
The human world will always have various distortions, that's true, but in the Naruto world, because of the existence of chakra, this morbidity is magnified countless times! Because even if ordinary people are strong, they can still die from a peanut, and everyone is equal in the face of death. But ninjas are different. The power that ninjas possess gives them too many choices when facing ordinary people or even other ninjas!
Especially Konoha, it's simply the representative of this world's morbidity. If the ninja world is in chaos, Konoha has the final say!
Konoha is full of talent when it comes to causing trouble. People who come from Konoha have single-handedly created the Third Shinobi World War and the Fourth Shinobi World War. Even after the end of the Shinobi World War, there are still people outside causing trouble, incredibly awesome.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming plans to absorb all the chakra from the ninjas' bodies to accelerate the maturation of the Divine Tree and obtain the Divine Tree fruit. However, Wang Xiaoming will not kill everyone directly like Kaguya. He will only absorb the chakra and the Otsutsuki virus from their bodies, and will not absorb anything extra. As for whether those former powerhouses will be surrounded and killed by the weak after everyone has lost their chakra, that is not something Wang Xiaoming is worried about.
Those who become ninjas will have to pay the price sooner or later. Every ninja has a pile of lives in their hands, even Naruto Uzumaki. Although he hasn't killed anyone directly on the surface, his various actions have indirectly killed many people.
So, there is no such thing as not killing people, it's just whether it's done overtly or covertly.
The so-called ninja school is a school for training killers. Even Konoha, on the surface, says it trains ninjas to protect the village, but when they go out to perform tasks, are they protecting the village? No, they can arbitrarily intervene in the internal affairs of other countries, and then choose to kill people on either side according to their preferences.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming is prepared to inherit Madara Uchiha's will and turn this world into a peaceful world!
Time passed as Wang Xiaoming conducted his research. The Chunin Exams, jointly organized by Konoha Ninja Village and Sunagakure Ninja Village, finally began.
With the start of the Chunin Exams, Wang Xiaoming's research also paused for a period. Taking advantage of the Chunin Exams, when Konoha became lively, Wang Xiaoming also wanted to start enjoying life. Anyway, the plan had already been set. Wang Xiaoming could collect the Tailed Beasts slowly. Now, he had to take advantage of Konoha being lively to have a good time with his wife. Once the Third Hokage dies, Konoha will no longer be fun. As for getting rid of Danzo, Wang Xiaoming has no interest unless he provokes him. Let Konoha keep the wolf they raised to disgust themselves.
Because of the arrival of the Chunin Exams, although foreign ninjas entered, a large number of merchants and tourists also came to Konoha, so this stage of Konoha was like a festival, entering the most lively stage, and also the most suitable stage for playing.
So, Wang Xiaoming pulled Leticia and started their date.
"How is it, Leticia, how do you feel?"
"I didn't expect that this world would have such a lively scene. Although Master, you said it's the Chunin Qualification Exam, it looks as lively as the lower-level floor rulers in Little Garden holding a Gift Game."
"In a sense, this is indeed a Gift Game. Newcomers from various countries gather together and then fight to determine the final winner. The final winner will get rich combat experience, and even rewards from the high-level officials of the country. It's essentially no different from a Gift Game."
On the streets of Konoha, Wang Xiaoming held Leticia's little hand and walked along the street, introducing the current situation to her as he walked.
Because the two of them were completely different from the attire of the entire ninja world and had extremely beautiful appearances, the people on the streets of Konoha couldn't help but make way when they saw them. As commoners in the feudal era, they understood very well that although they didn't have the bandages and forehead protectors that ninja adults had, these two people must not be ordinary people! They are noble adults!
"At least one thing I can be sure of is that the Gift Games launched by the lower-level floor rulers are all to make the lower levels more lively, especially to make the lower-level communities more active and lively."
"Instead of killing each other until only one person is left."
"So this world is morbid."
Wang Xiaoming said as he walked, and Leticia also agreed, then opened her mouth with a curious face.
"Master, I understand the reasoning, but why do you want to hold my hand?"
"Is there a problem with me holding your hand?"
"There is naturally no problem with Master holding my hand. After all, I originally belong to Master. You can hold my hand whenever you want, but the way Master is holding it now..."
"Is there anything wrong with it? There are so many people here. If I don't hold you, what if you get lost in the crowd?"
Wang Xiaoming explained in a serious manner, while Leticia was speechless. What a useless reason. She, the former Vampire Queen, a former Demon Lord with a four-digit ranking in Little Garden, would actually get lost because there were too many people?
"That's what I'm talking about, Master. You completely treat me like a child!"
Just as Leticia was speechless, Wang Xiaoming held her hand, and she had no objection at all. But the problem was that now, the two of them were walking hand in hand on the street, and they didn't look like a couple at all. It was more like an older brother holding his younger sister. She, the dignified former Vampire Royal Family, now Wang Xiaoming's personal head maid, looked completely like a child brought out by her older brother.
"No, no, no, not at all. Leticia is my most capable head maid. How could I treat you like a child? I'm just simply worried that you'll get lost."
Even though Leticia saw through the truth, Wang Xiaoming didn't admit it at all, insisting on his own statement.
To this, Leticia was also very helpless, and could only take Wang Xiaoming's words as true. Just like she said just now, her whole person belonged to Wang Xiaoming, and holding hands was completely no problem. At least Wang Xiaoming didn't hold her while shopping, which she absolutely couldn't accept. It was too embarrassing!
Habitually giving Wang Xiaoming a roll of her eyes, Leticia's little hand was obediently held in Wang Xiaoming's hand, and even held Wang Xiaoming's right hand in return, interlocking fingers with Wang Xiaoming. Well, this way, when their hands were seen together, at least it could prove that she, Leticia, was Wang Xiaoming's lover, and not some child brought out by her older brother!
Wang Xiaoming felt the small movements of Leticia's little hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. His little maid wife was really cute.
Maintaining the interlocking of his right hand with Leticia's fingers, Wang Xiaoming looked up at the Hokage Rock statue in the center of Konoha.
"Speaking of which, we've been in Konoha for so long, and we've never been to Konoha's famous scenic spots to check in."
"Konoha's famous scenic spots? What are they?"
Being diverted by Wang Xiaoming, Leticia also cooperated and followed up with a sentence.
"The Hokage Rock at the top is a famous scenic spot. We can go to that cliff and overlook the entire Konoha Village from the cliff."
Wang Xiaoming introduced as he looked down at Leticia.
"How is it, Leticia, do you want to go up and take a look?"
"Yeah, let's go up and take a look."
"Then let's go up."
Wang Xiaoming directly pulled Leticia's little hand and pulled her into his arms, then with a horizontal embrace with both hands, he directly picked her up in a princess carry. Leticia was immediately stunned. If you want to go to the cliff, just go to the cliff. Why are you holding me?
"Master?"
"It's too slow to walk up. I'll carry you and jump directly."
What greeted him was Leticia's speechless gaze.
"Master, are you still going to say that you're afraid I'll be too tired to walk up?"
"That's right, you really understand me, Leticia!"
Wang Xiaoming nodded affirmatively.
"....."
The speechless Leticia helplessly wrapped her arms around Wang Xiaoming's neck, resting her head in his embrace, obediently letting Wang Xiaoming hold her. Just a moment ago, she was thinking that holding hands was fine, but being held was absolutely out of the question, as that would be too embarrassing. Yet, now she was being picked up, and in public! This was simply too mortifying. Leticia's face was now red, because there were too many people watching. Even if they were all strangers, being watched by so many people was still incredibly embarrassing.
But there was nothing she could do, as he was her master.
Hiding her head in Wang Xiaoming's embrace, Leticia urged softly.
"Master, please hurry up."
"Alright."
Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding crowd, Wang Xiaoming directly squatted down slightly, then jumped straight up from the main street of Konoha, soaring into the sky. After reaching the highest point, he began to gradually accelerate downwards, landing perfectly on the cliff above the Hokage Rock.
Holding Leticia, Wang Xiaoming arrived at the Hokage Rock and turned around, allowing Leticia to see the entire panorama of Konoha Village. From here, she could see everything in the most central area of Konoha Village.
"Although it's not a big village, and it's full of darkness, at this moment, looking down from here, it feels pretty good, right?"
"Yes, it certainly looks like a very prosperous town now."
"Unfortunately, this prosperous town will become a battlefield in a month."
488. Orochimaru's Bizarre Adventure
After taking Leticia to the Hokage Rock to overlook Konoha Village, Wang Xiaoming took Leticia to see other places. The Fire Country area of the Naruto world, especially, had excellent greenery due to Hashirama Senju's influence back then. The trees were tall and large, the kind that would make people from timber companies laugh themselves to death on the spot.
Taking advantage of Konoha's lively atmosphere, Wang Xiaoming took Leticia on a good stroll around the area, and finally even took Leticia to Konoha's classic snack, Ichiraku Ramen, to try the ramen.
However, Wang Xiaoming's evaluation of Ichiraku Ramen's taste was: "It's alright."
In terms of cooking, Wang Xiaoming felt that Ichiraku Ramen was not as good as what he made himself. You should know that at the beginning of the Hestia Familia, Wang Xiaoming did everything himself. Everyone who knows Grey Wolf's cooking skills understands. However, after Ayako joined the Familia, she took over the kitchen from Wang Xiaoming, and now with Leticia, there was completely nothing for Wang Xiaoming to do in the kitchen.
Wang Xiaoming didn't have high hopes for what good food there might be in the ninja world. What good food could there be in this world that takes killing, war, and cultivation as its main themes? So, tasting Ichiraku Ramen without too much expectation, Wang Xiaoming's comment was just "It's alright," similar to the taste of chain ramen shops in shopping malls—the taste was good, but not that amazing.
After taking Leticia to eat ramen as the finale, Wang Xiaoming took Leticia home, waiting for the Chunin Exams to begin.
The Chunin Exams have a very long time span, which can be said to be a month and a half.
And now is the beginning stage of the Chunin Exams.
The first stage of the Chunin Exams is a written test, but before the written test, there will be some physical contact. In the original plot, Rock Lee, a taijutsu ninja, challenged Sasuke Uchiha and rubbed Sasuke on the ground.
But this time, Sasuke, who obtained the Leopard Cat Gastrea gene plus the Ukaku, reversed the situation and rubbed Little Lee on the ground. The super-strong taijutsu ability shocked all the genin onlookers.
Then came the unremarkable exam环节. After the exam ended, they entered the second stage, the scroll snatching battle in the Forest of Death. These were invisible to outsiders, after all, the Naruto world did not have live broadcast functions, so Wang Xiaoming could not see their competition scenes. Moreover, they had been strengthened after all, so fighting Orochimaru back and forth should not be a problem.
And the reality was as Wang Xiaoming thought. After entering the Forest of Death, the first thing Orochimaru did was to find Sasuke and Naruto.
Orochimaru, wearing a human skin mask, stood in front of the three-person team of Team 7, unreservedly releasing the killing intent he had accumulated on the battlefield over the years. The terrible and rich degree made Sakura unable to breathe.
But except for Sakura, who was as always frightened by Orochimaru's killing intent, Sasuke and Naruto were not affected at all. Just kidding, before the Chunin Exams, they fought each other at Wang Xiaoming's request, and their brains were almost knocked out. What scene haven't they seen!
Orochimaru looked at Sakura, then looked at Sasuke and Naruto who were not afraid at all, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh? You didn't feel any fear, that's interesting."
"Fear? Why should I be afraid?"
The mindless Naruto asked the question for the first time. He didn't quite understand why Orochimaru said that, and Sasuke couldn't help but spray from the side.
"Idiot, he must have done something just now. Sakura is obviously affected, but we are not affected."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Naruto suddenly realized, then pointed at Orochimaru and shouted.
"You actually dare to hurt Sakura! I'm going to beat you up!"
After speaking, Naruto rushed straight up.
"Naruto! You idiot!"
Sasuke was speechless when he saw Naruto rushing straight up. This was a battle between ninjas, not their usual practice. Rushing up like this was simply a mess!
But after scolding the idiot, Sasuke still rushed up like Naruto.
"Heh heh heh, let me see what you are capable of!"
Orochimaru had an arrogant smile on his face and pounced towards Naruto, who was at the front. He didn't even take out kunai and shurikens, and rushed up with his bare hands, preparing to solve Naruto, this genin, with his hands.
However, after contact, he found that something was wrong. Originally, Orochimaru was prepared to easily dodge Naruto's fist, but when Naruto's fist hammered out, he found that the speed was a bit fast, and he seemed unable to dodge!
Although he was a little surprised, Orochimaru blocked with his arm at the first time, blocking his right hand in front of him, preparing to block Naruto's fist.
However, when this fist was received, Orochimaru only heard a click, and then his arm, which was originally blocking in front of him, suddenly smashed onto his face, which still had a smile.
"Nani!"
Then, his face was directly dented by his own arm, and then his entire head tilted backwards behind his neck. The whole person was originally leaning forward, but now he was flying backwards! Then the whole person flew out backwards and smashed into a big tree.
"Hmph!"
Naruto, who completed this blow, confidently shook his fist.
"Anyone who wants to hurt Sakura, I will personally beat them up!"
"Tch!"
Sasuke was a little speechless when he saw Naruto solve the opponent with one punch. He thought it was some amazing guy, but he didn't expect it to be just a show, and Naruto solved it with one punch. Too rubbish.
"Heh heh heh~~"
However, Orochimaru, who was knocked into the tree, made a gloomy laugh.
"It's really interesting, a mere genin actually possesses such a powerful fist."
This punch reminded Orochimaru of his old teammate's monstrous strength. The fist that looked weak was actually so powerful that it directly punched him into an injured state, which really surprised him.
"There is no chakra gathering, so it's not monstrous strength, it's pure physical fitness, it's really interesting, a kid who is a genin actually has such physical fitness, are you a taijutsu-type ninja?"
"Huh? What taijutsu ninja, this lord, Naruto Uzumaki, is a comprehensively developed ninja!"
Naruto Uzumaki said and pointed to Orochimaru again.
"Speaking of which, you haven't fallen down even after being punched in the head by me, your head is quite hard!"
"Heh heh heh, hard head, this is not a hard head."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
"I was careless just now, but next, I won't be careless."
Seeing that the opponent was a genin, Orochimaru held back, which was his arrogance as a Kage-level, but this arrogance made him suffer a loss and was directly injured by a punch. Fortunately, his physical fitness was very good, so he didn't have to worry about being punched to death.
"Next, I'm going to be serious!"
"Tch, so what if you're serious, I'll beat you up again!"
Naruto rushed up again, and Orochimaru also greeted him again. This time, Orochimaru understood that Naruto's fist could not be received, so he directly dodged the opponent's fist, and then kicked Naruto in the chest with a whip kick, sweeping Naruto directly out.
However, the moment Naruto was kicked away, Sasuke rushed up, rushed directly to Orochimaru's side, took out a lightsaber from the ninja tool bag behind him, and swept it towards Orochimaru.
