Naruto: Damn!!! I am OP

After a brief silence,

Hiruzen took out his pipe, took a puff, glanced at the Cloud Village Jonin and the Mist Village Jonin, Fuguki Suikazan, and exhaled a puff of smoke, saying:

"Regardless, the Chunin Exam is now over."

Anko stood beside him, suppressing the shock in her heart, and glanced sideways at Fuguki Suikazan, saying,

"Yes, with only one person left, there won't be a third stage."

The Mist Village ninja probably wanted to eliminate all other teams in the second stage to end the Chunin Exam before the third stage, thus showcasing the terror of the Bloody Mist Village. This goal was achieved, but their entire forces were annihilated.

This was likely unexpected by everyone.

Anko looked at the screen, at Shin who had already collected all the scrolls and was rushing towards the Central Watchtower, and a smile appeared on her face.

No matter what...

Well done, White Fang's son, Hidden Leaf ninja!

Outside the Central Watchtower,

Shin ran all the way to the entrance, carrying two scrolls, and entered. Waiting for Shin at the door was Anko, the chief examiner of the second stage.

"Congratulations on passing the second stage of the Chunin Exam..."

"And probably the last stage, too."

Shin looked at Anko and said,

"The Mist and Cloud ninja seem to have dealt with all the other teams. I have all the scrolls here."

Anko, who already knew about this, wasn't surprised, but as she watched Shin casually drop all the other scrolls, a faint sigh still escaped her eyes.

The second stage of the Chunin Exam, only one person passed.

This was the first time since the examination system was established!

She hadn't expected Shin, who had always been overshadowed by Kakashi's brilliance, to possess such prodigious talent. His strength, mindset, and patience were all superior to Kakashi's.

"Yes, your judgment is correct. There won't be a third stage."

Anko sighed inwardly, then nodded to Shin and said,

"Come with me, Hokage-sama is waiting for you."

So Hiruzen is already here.

Shin wasn't surprised. He nodded and followed Anko, soon arriving at the central hall on the second floor of the watchtower, where Hiruzen stood in the center.

What made Shin's eyes flicker with a hint of surprise was that Orochimaru stood beside Hiruzen.

"Is Orochimaru the chief examiner later? No, it shouldn't be..."

A thought flashed through Shin's mind. A Jonin being in charge of this Chunin Exam was already a high rank; it was impossible for Orochimaru to be the chief examiner.

Having dismissed that thought, Shin didn't ponder it further but bowed to Hiruzen, saying,

"Hokage-sama."

As Shin bowed to Hiruzen,

He also felt two malevolent gazes fixed on him.

Those two hostile and cold gazes came from the Mist Village Jonin, Fuguki Suikazan, and an unknown Jonin from the Cloud Village.

"..."

After raising his head, Shin's gaze briefly met Fuguki Suikazan and the other's, then returned to Hiruzen. He showed no fear towards the two Jonin from enemy villages.

He certainly couldn't defeat a Jonin now, especially someone like Fuguki Suikazan, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, whose strength was close to Kage level.

But this was the Leaf Village.

Not only were there several Leaf Jonin here, but even Orochimaru and Hiruzen were present. Fuguki Suikazan and the others could at most give him a cold stare; they didn't even dare to release any killing intent.

As for the future...

If they truly met on the battlefield, with his growth rate, he might not be weaker than those two. Perhaps by then, he would have surpassed Jonin and reached true Kage level.

"Congratulations, you've passed the Chunin Exam."

Hiruzen looked at Shin, a kindly smile on his face, and said,

"You performed very well. From today onwards, you are a Leaf Chunin. Remember a ninja's sacred duty!"

"Yes."

Shin bowed in response.

Orochimaru stood to the side, looking at Shin, a faint curve on his lips.

"Your father, during his lifetime, I received some favors from him... Do you know me, Shin Hatake?"

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be interested in him, Shin's thoughts raced.

He bowed to Orochimaru, saying,

"You must be the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru chuckled, opening his hand and saying,

"If you know me, then it's easy to talk. With your skill, it's hard for a normal Jonin to be your instructor... How about becoming my disciple?"

Hiruzen was also surprised by Orochimaru's words. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly made a decision, saying:

"In that case, Shin, you will train under Orochimaru."

Shin: "???"

What the heck?!

I haven't even said anything yet!

His lips twitched uncontrollably, a wave of helplessness washing over him.

Becoming Orochimaru's disciple was undoubtedly a dangerous endeavor, as evidenced by almost all of Orochimaru's disciples being marked with the Cursed Seal.

However, come to think of it, this period might not be entirely unfeasible. On one hand, becoming Orochimaru's disciple would free him from Danzo's troubles. On the other hand, from Orochimaru, he might obtain many ninjutsu he desired.

Playing with fire... no, playing with a snake...

Thinking this, Shin sighed.

Hiruzen had made the decision, so there was no room for discussion. He could also vaguely guess why Hiruzen made such a decision.

At this time, Hiruzen had not yet fully determined the Fourth Hokage. Although Orochimaru's personality was somewhat dangerous, Minato Namikaze was still too young, and his achievements and Senpaiity were not as good as Orochimaru's.

Although Hiruzen internally leaned towards Minato, he could not openly express his stance at this time.

If he refused to hand Shin over to Orochimaru and designated Kakashi as Minato Namikaze's disciple, it would not only cause controversy among some people in the village but Orochimaru would also be very displeased.

The current ninja world was in a tense period.

The internal stability of the village had to be maintained.

"..."

Hiruzen's words brought a smile to Orochimaru's face. At this time, he still had aspirations for the Hokage position. Proposing to take Shin as a disciple was, on one hand, truly valuing Shin's talent, and on the other hand, also testing Hiruzen's attitude.

To become Hokage, one must have successor power. One person alone cannot handle the myriad of affairs and maintain the stability of the village; a successor is needed to assist.

Hiruzen entrusting the genius ninja Kakashi to Minato Namikaze for training implicitly indicated that Minato Namikaze was among the candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

And having learned that Hiruzen's stance had shifted, he took the opportunity here today to conduct a test.

If Hiruzen had prevented him from taking Shin as a disciple, it would have meant that Hiruzen had already rejected him as the Fourth Hokage. But now, it showed that Hiruzen's attitude was still ambiguous.

"I wonder who you will choose in the end... Hiruzen-sensei..."

Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen, muttering to himself.
