This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 378 Orochimaru without alerting the enemy

A ninja wearing an Iwagakure headband was mingling in the back row of the general audience, in an inconspicuous position.

His gaze passed through the cheering crowd and landed on Uchiha Obito on the podium.

Beneath this body lies the consciousness of White Zetsu; this Iwagakure has been possessed by White Zetsu.

With Konoha making such a big fuss, gathering all five great ninja villages, how could he possibly not come and join in the fun?

Madara's task for him was to monitor Obito and keep track of every detail of this pawn's growth.

He absolutely couldn't miss such a joint Chunin Exam that would allow him to fully understand Obito's strength.

"What an impressive talent..." Bai Jue thought to himself.

He had watched Obito's matches from beginning to end. This young Uchiha had already mastered the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He was certain that the ability to become intangible and ignore physical attacks was one of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities.

And that skeleton... Judging from Obito's use of it these past few times, he's becoming more and more familiar with this technique.

"Susanoo... it's already taking shape. Lord Madara's eye for talent is truly remarkable."

White Zetsu mentally assessed Obito's combat stats; among his peers, this level of strength was already exceptionally high.

He slightly adjusted his stance, making himself look more like an ordinary Iwagakure ninja excited about the match. He had absolute confidence in his disguise and concealment skills.

Under the cover of the Mayfly Technique and chakra simulation, his presence was completely imperceptible.

In the bustling, chaotic Konoha dome, he was like a drop of water in the ocean, impossible for anyone to notice.

He felt that his last infiltration of the research institute was discovered by accident, and besides, he was now sending clones instead of his main body.

Anyway, I can have as many clones as I want, so it's not a pity if they die.

However, White Zetsu was unaware of this.

Less than twenty meters away from him, a pair of golden vertical pupils were staring at his back with great interest.

Orochimaru was wearing an inconspicuous dark kimono, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

He didn't even turn his head to look at Obito on the podium; all his attention was focused on that "Iwagakure ninja."

"This little mouse that likes to burrow underground finally couldn't resist coming out to watch the fun," Orochimaru thought to himself with a low chuckle.

From the moment White Zetsu stepped into the outer perimeter of Konoha's new center, he had been targeted by Orochimaru.

In Orochimaru's vision, the Iwagakure ninja was emitting an extremely faint yet unique glow.

This is a ninjutsu he specially created after months of research, based on the biological characteristics of White Zetsu, to detect them.

Orochimaru knew that this White Zetsu was a clone, because the original White Zetsu that had swallowed the parasite was not located in Konoha.

During this period, Orochimaru did not make any moves that would alert the enemy.

He was like a patient hunter, hiding in the shadows, observing the prey's every move, recording its stealth routes and chakra disguise frequencies.

To prevent being discovered by this perceptive little mouse, Orochimaru even developed a stealth ninjutsu that could completely shield his own chakra reactions and blend into the fluctuations of the surrounding environment.

Therefore, White Zetsu's supposedly foolproof surveillance was exposed to Orochimaru's watchful eye from beginning to end.

Orochimaru licked his lips and looked away.

"The game has only just begun, little mouse."

He planned to capture the White Zetsu clone alive without the other party noticing.

This is top-quality research material! Such a large White Zetsu could be studied for a long time. Thinking of this, Orochimaru smiled secretly.

Seeing this, Tsunade, who had already returned to the VIP seats, made a disgusted "Eek~" sound and quickly moved two meters away from Orochimaru.

When will my companion ever change this habit? He laughs like a pervert!

No wonder she's still single. What normal girl would fall for a pervert!

In the center of the arena, the daimyo had thoroughly satisfied his interest. He waved to the surroundings and retreated to the back, surrounded by his guards.

After all, this is Konoha's home ground, and even he cannot overstep his bounds.

The fact that the Third Hokage could invite him to present the award was already a great honor.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the microphone from Tetsu Nishikawa.

"Today, we are here to witness the hard work and dedication of the younger generation."

The Third Hokage's voice was steady and deep, resonating throughout the entire venue.

"Whether you are a genin from Konoha or an outstanding ninja from other villages, you have all demonstrated unwavering will. Peace is hard-won, and it is because of your vibrant and fresh blood that the future of the ninja world is full of hope."

He smiled as he looked at the three people on the podium, then glanced around the stands.

"The first Chunin Exams, a joint event between the five great ninja villages, was not only a competition but also an exchange. I hope that the bonds forged on the field will continue."

After the Third Hokage finished his speech, he handed the microphone back to Nishikawa Tetsu.

Nishikawa Tetsu strode to the front of the stage. The exam, which had lasted for several months from preparation to completion, was finally coming to an end.

"Thank you for your wonderful speech, Hokage-sama! Thank you for your generosity, Daimyo!"

"Thank you to all the contestants for the wonderful matches, thank you to every examiner and staff member for their hard work during this time, thank you to all the sponsors for their generous support, and thank you to every audience member for their enthusiastic support!"

"Now, I declare—"

"The first Joint Chunin Exams of the Five Great Ninja Villages has now concluded and is officially closed!"

Fireworks erupted once more, illuminating the sky above the Konoha Dome with vibrant colors. Deafening cheers continued unabated, signaling the end of this grand event.
