The Land of Fields, Otogakure.
In a secret base unknown to the public, a pale-skinned, beautiful, long-haired woman is recording something.
*Experiment 156 failed. "
She wrote this sentence in her notebook.
In front of her, in a container filled with an unknown liquid, a curled-up toddler appeared to have lost his life.
If you extend your gaze to the left and right, you will find that there are hundreds of containers filled with the same liquid on both sides.
In each of these containers, without exception, there was a young child quietly immersed in the solution.
And among them, more than half of them have lost their breath of life!
If this scene was seen by outsiders, I'm afraid their hair would stand on end and they would scream!
Just then, the door of the base opened and a woman with fiery red hair walked in.
"Lord Orochimaru, I just received a piece of information from Konoha."
As she spoke, she handed a scroll to the long-haired woman.
"oh?"
Hearing this, the long-haired woman, no, it should be said that Orochimaru, who had completed the reincarnation technique, turned his head and looked at her. Then he opened his mouth
Whoosh!!
A one-meter-long tongue suddenly stretched out from its mouth and rolled up the scroll handed to it by the red-haired woman.
Then he withdrew his tongue and removed the scroll.
Opposite him, the red-haired woman showed no expression at all towards this strange scene, as if she was used to it.
After opening the scroll, Orochimaru used a secret seal to unlock the seal, and then saw the contents of the information.
"The old man is planning to join forces with Sunagakure to conduct the Chunin Exam?"
After seeing the content of the intelligence, he licked his lips and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"Opportunity seems to have come.
On the hill behind Konoha.
Kakashi, who had learned about the previous fight between Sasuke and Rock Lee, said in surprise,
"After the explosion, the strength can be improved so much!"
Rock Lee is the disciple of his good friend Might Guy.
He often heard Kai bragging to him about how his disciple was like him and how hard he worked.

He also claimed that he had the strength to participate in the Chunin Exam and achieve good results in it.
But such a ninja with the strength of a Chunin only managed to fight Sasuke to a draw?
Could it be that after the explosion, Sasuke has also acquired the strength of a Chunin?
He looked at the messy field where the two of them had competed before, and after silently estimating in his mind, he came to this conclusion.
There is a high probability that it is accurate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the news he had just received not long ago:
The Chunin selection exam will be held in one month!
"Then, we have to ask Sasuke and the others not to do that.
The idea of letting Sasuke and the others take part in the Chunin Exam suddenly occurred to him, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because currently only Sasuke has the strength of a Chunin, while Naruto and Korou have neither.
On April 8th, there are only fried foods and small rice with Eight Immortals, which is against it.
The Chunin Exam requires the participation of the entire team. If a teammate's strength is not up to standard, rash participation will only harm the entire team.
However, it is not the registration time yet. Maybe Naruto and Sakura can reach the level of Chunin before they register?
"Well, tell them then. It will give them more motivation during training."
Kakashi held his forehead, looked at the three little ones and said,
"I have some news for you."
Naruto and Rock Lee were discussing their training experiences. The three of them came over and asked in confusion,
"What's the news, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Well, Naruto, you really want to be Hokage, right? This message might help you get one step closer to becoming Hokage.
Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly under the mask, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense.
"What?! Are you serious, Kakashi-sensei?!"
Hearing this, Naruto immediately jumped up from where he was, rushed to Kakashi, and said urgently,
"What is the news, Kakashi-sensei, please tell me!"
Seeing Naruto so anxious, Kakashi no longer kept him in suspense and cleared his throat before saying,
"Ahem, the news is that we will hold the Chunin selection exam in a month."
"The Chunin Selection Exam?"
"Yes, once you pass the exam, you will be promoted from Genin to Chunin, which means you are one step closer to becoming Hokage.
"How about it, do you want to join?"
Kakashi deliberately emphasized the word "Hokage".
"Yes! Of course I do!"
When he heard that he could be closer to his goal, Naruto agreed without thinking.
"Idiot Naruto, do you have the strength of a Chunin now?"
At this moment, Sasuke, who also received the information, ruthlessly poured cold water on him.
"Ahhh, you stinky Sasuke, what did you say?!" Naruto said angrily.
"Sasuke is right. In your team, only Sasuke has reached the level of participating in the Chunin Exam, while you and Sakura are still a little short."
Kakashi said with a smile.
"Teacher Kakashi, I am also very strong! As long as I master the explosive power, I will definitely be stronger than Sasuke!"
Hearing that Kakashi teacher also denied him, Naruto said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"You're right, Naruto."
"There is still some time before the registration deadline. As long as you and Sakura can reach the level of Chunin before then, I will definitely join you.
You are allowed to sign up for the Chunin Exam."
Kakashi said with a smile on his face.
"I will!!"
After hearing the request given by teacher Kakashi, Naruto raised his fist and swore to the sky.
"And Sakura, you can do it too, right!"
"Ah? I, I..."
Sakura, who was standing by, didn't expect that Naruto would call her out, and she hesitated for a moment.
But when she saw the passion in Naruto's eyes for pursuing his dream, she quickly raised her hand and said firmly,
"I will too!!"
Just as they were talking about something else about the Chunin Exam, a strange voice suddenly rang out between them.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Wukong, who had been listening to their conversation, scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Ahahaha~ I'm a little hungry."
Everyone looked up at the time and realized that it was noon and time for lunch.
"Then how about I treat everyone to a barbecue?" Kakashi said to everyone.
"Yeah!!"
Hearing that there was barbecue to eat, Naruto supported it happily with a face full of joy.
"Well, I won't bother you anymore."
At this time, Rock Lee weakly raised his hand.
"What? Thick eyebrows, you're coming too!"
Naruto put his arm around his shoulders and invited him.
"Xiao Li, I said I'd treat everyone to a barbecue, and you're also included in that.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Li, you come too."
Kakashi and Sakura spoke up one after another.
Although Sasuke didn't say anything, he looked at Rock Lee and nodded.
Under everyone's strong invitation, Rock Lee finally agreed.
Just as they were about to set off, Rock Lee asked them to wait for a moment, then ran into the woods and took out two things from behind a tree.
"What's this?"
Naruto went forward curiously to check and found that what he was holding were two pieces of cloth with the word "roots" engraved on them.
"This is the weighted iron ring I wear every day. I took it off just now because I was going to compete with Sasuke."
Rock Lee explained to him as he tied the iron ring to his leg.
"Weighted iron ring?"
Naruto was a little curious, so he prepared to pick up a piece and take a closer look.
"Hiss! It's so heavy!"
He wanted to pick it up with one hand, but found it very difficult, so he quickly joined in with his other hand and was able to pick it up more easily.
"You wear it every day?"
After feeli
ng the weight of this object, he asked in disbelief.
Because he found that the weight of this object was almost as heavy as the stone he used for weight training every day.
And Rock Lee still has two hidden
