But that's beyond the Uchiha Itachi can interfere with anymore - as the chief examiner for the second exam, I've finished my duties.

However, I didn't disappear there, but took advantage of my position to stay in the tower, intending to watch the qualifiers nearby later.

As a result, while standing on the sidelines and watching Moonlight Blast, who had succeeded me as the referee of the third exam, begin to explain the rules, someone suddenly approached and informed me that the third Hokage was looking for me.

I couldn't help but look up at the high place where the three generations of Hokage were, and thought to myself, seems to have a better view around the Hokage?

However, I don't know what to do with me? I shouldn't have to report to him about the second exam.

With some doubts, I walked to the side of the three generations of Hokage, and before I could say hello, the three generations of Hokage looked at me first and said with a smile: "This new dress is not bad, Itachi." ”

“…… Thank you? ”

"The second game ended without a hitch. Thank you for your hard work. ”

"You're welcome."

"Listen to Jiraiya," the third Hokage paused, "'The people of the other side'...... The young Orochimaru of another world, once appeared? ”

"Ah...... Yes. ”

"He ......" The third Hokage hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "He in another world...... Have you ever repented? ”

There is no doubt that in the eyes of Jiraiya and the three generations of Hokage, since Orochimaru from another world is willing to appear and help Konoha catch Orochimaru in this world, he himself shows a certain tendency towards Konoha and even shows favor to Konoha.

But it's a pity......

Orochimaru doesn't seem to have clearly expressed regret for Konoha Collapse Plan and the act of killing the teacher until the end......

However, since he finally agreed to accept Konoha's surveillance and sent his son to Konoha to shinobi at the moment, his mind should have changed.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Thinking of this, I honestly replied, "I don't know...... Perhaps, though. ”

"Would he like to see me?" The three generations of Hokage asked with a hint of anticipation, "Are you old...... Occasionally, I always recall things from the past...... I miss it very much, back then, when they were all young and so cute......"

“…… I'll ask him. "As a Itachi, I replied politely and politely. But......

Meeting or something, of course, is impossible!

At this time, the list of the first competition has also been announced-

Sakura Haruno VS Ino Yamanaka.

"Ahh

Unexpectedly, the first game was actually the two of them.

Seeing my gaze in the center of the field, the three Hokages couldn't help but smile, "In your world, have you ever experienced such a qualifier?" ”

"Experienced. But at that time, I was not there. ”

"Huh? Ah, that's right," the third Hokage remembered, "At that time, you should still be in Xiao, right?" ”

"yes......"

"However, even if you didn't witness it at the time, you must have known later that which children won, right?"

“…… Truly. ”

"In that case, wouldn't this qualifier be a bit boring for you?"

"No......" I watched Yamanaka Ino and Sakura Haruno walk down together, curling the corners of my lips slightly, "-I'm looking forward to it." ”

Although Ino and Sakura, in the end, were the same as the original, they lost consciousness at the same time and ended up in a draw, but the battle scenes they saw with their own eyes, the kind of immersive novelty and excitement, really still have a completely different feeling from watching manga and anime.

I don't know if it's because I've been in contact with the three generations of Hokage for a long time in the form of Uchiha Itachi, even though my expression doesn't seem to change very much, he gradually seems to be able to feel my emotions at the moment: "You look happy, Itachi." ”

I replied calmly, "This year's Konoha ninjas are all excellent. ”

"Speaking of which......" The third Hokage smiled slightly at my conclusion, obviously agreeing, but the topic still revolved around Orochimaru: "Orochimaru...... What is his desire to come to this world as a 'man from the other side'? ”

“……”

I can't answer......

My mind was choked for a moment, and I saw that the roster for the second game had been confirmed:

Kankuro VS Ding Ji.

Pretending to be drawn to the battle list for a moment, I calmed down, "He rarely talks about it, so I don't know." ”

"Is it ......" The third generation Hokage looked a little disappointed, but not surprised, and sighed softly, like an old father who was worried about his child.

"You...... Have you ever been disappointed in him? ”

"Disappointment...... Of course there is. However, there is always a glimmer of hope, and there is always no despair. Speaking of this, the three generations of Hokage seemed to smile a little embarrassed, "My teacher...... The second Hokage said that it was because he was the Hokage that he had to implement a ruthless attitude, but I, ah, had a soft heart towards Orochimaru again and again. Even now, even though he has fallen to such a point, when I look at him, I always think of his innocent face when he was young...... And I think he's still very cute. ”

Is it cute......

Although it is difficult for this adjective to be related to a person like Orochimaru as a bystander, in the eyes of the elders, maybe the beloved child will never grow up.

"I always felt that he was just a kid who hadn't grown up. He became like this, because I, the teacher, failed to guide him on the right path, so ...... I always feel that he has become like this, and I am half responsible. Perhaps, I can guide him back on the right path...... Heck, if the teacher showed up, he would have scolded me. ”

The three generations of Hokage smiled bitterly and lowered his head, reaching out and pressing down on the Hokage's hat, as if he felt a little ashamed of himself who had experienced a hundred battles and should have known the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the ninja world, but still held such an innocent weakness.

"To be honest, I'm really worried, the teacher's obsession with coming to this world is that I feel that I haven't been able to protect Konoha well in another world, so let's see how I'm doing in this world......" Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at me and said, "It can't really be like this, right?" ”

“…… I don't think so. ”

"Really?"

"Whether it's the first Hokage or the second Hokage," I thought of the scene when they were reincarnated in the fourth ninja world war, and nodded with a little confidence, "I trust you very much." ”

Hearing this, the three generations of Hokage relaxed a little and laughed. "Oh, it's so much more reassuring to be told by you."

In the end, the battle between Kankuro and Dingji ended with Kankuro winning.

And the list of the third competition is Saro VS Taketori Mai.

This arrangement suddenly made me unconsciously take a step forward and try to see more clearly.

In Sasuke's recapture battle, the battle between Airo and Kimimaro was actually staged in advance in the qualifiers for the Chunin Exam!?

At the beginning, Naruto fans were all recognized that if Jun Mario was not so seriously ill, he would never lose.

Speculating from the opposite side, it is Jun Maro who is so sick that he can fight with my Airo to that point, which shows how terrifying the strength is.

So, what was the result of the battle between Sara and Mai Taketori?
