All of this was because of a red-haired girl among them.
"Big brother, bringing this girl to the Chunin exam this time was the right choice."
"As long as we have this medicine kit, we have a chance."
"But the people taking the Chunin exam are all monsters. It's hard enough to keep our own scrolls. We can only rely on luck."
The two men walking in front laughed loudly, not treating the girl behind them as a teammate at all.
Looking closely, the back of the girl's hand was covered in dense teeth marks.
"Mom..." the girl sobbed to herself.
"Kid, shut up. If you cry again, I'll kill you," the man in front threatened.
When they turned their heads, two palms suddenly appeared in their vision, growing larger at an unbelievable speed.
Bang!
It was the sound of bursting.
The boy clapped his hands, walked to the side of the river to wash them, and then came to Karin.
Karin looked at the handsome boy in front of her and didn't feel much fear. Maybe she didn't sense any killing intent or malice.
However, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to catch me too?"
Years of pain had made it difficult for her to trust anyone, even though the boy in front of her didn't seem to have any bad intentions.
"No, I'm here to save you."
"Save me?"
"Yeah, are you willing to come with me?"
"Come with you, where to?"
"Home."
The word "home" seemed to touch a chord in the girl's heart. She stared blankly at the boy in front of her, and after thinking for a moment, she finally put her hand in the boy's hand.
"Host shakes hands with Uzumaki Karin, receives the reward [Kagura Shingan]."
Kagura Shingan: A mind's eye that can see through the other person and also see far away. It is one of the strongest detection ninjutsu, a super-large-range search technique. After closing your eyes and opening the mind's eye, unusual movements can be sensed with Chakra within a radius of tens of kilometers. In addition, if there is a known and specified Chakra, the detailed location and movements can also be sensed. The number and characteristics of the other party, and even the movement speed, can be grasped in great detail.
Just holding hands gives such a big reward.
Neji couldn't help but take a deep look at Karin, wondering if all the rewards of the Uzumaki Clan were concentrated on her alone.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case.
Among the women of the Uzumaki Clan, Karin was the only one.
The sealing Jutsu that made the entire ninja world fear, even the Nine Tails couldn't escape. The more Neji thought about it, the more excited he became.
No, such a treasure must not be allowed to return to Kusagakure. He must keep her by his side.
Anyway, Karin didn't have any good feelings for Kusagakure, so wasn't it just a matter of his words?
Neji was very satisfied and couldn't wait to experience the power of the Kagura Shingan. It was indeed powerful. Almost the entire Death Forest was within his range of perception.
Therefore, he quickly found Tenten and Lee's tracks.
"Huh, is that... Orochimaru?"
At this moment, Neji had an unexpected gain. Orochimaru, who had been searching for all night, was actually discovered by him just like that.
The power of the Kagura Shingan was indeed a bit strong, so...
"Should I go find Orochimaru?" Neji thought to himself.
Orochimaru still had a lot of good things that hadn't been revealed, such as the White Phosphorus Snake, Manda's Formation, and the Edo Tensei.
After killing the Otogakure trio, their Earth Scroll also undoubtedly fell into Neji's hands, which meant that Team Nine had completed the second exam.
So, there were two paths in front of Neji. One was to chase Orochimaru and squeeze him dry, and the other was to enter the tower and wait peacefully for the next exam.
"This is a great opportunity."
In the end, Neji took Karin directly to the tower.
Orochimaru was already wary of him. He was still too weak, and could only trap Orochimaru for a moment by surprise. If he were to fight head-on, he would most likely lose.
There was plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush too much. Enjoying the process was also very important.
Finding Tenten and Lee, Neji directly took out the Heaven and Earth scrolls on his body.
"No need to wait, let's go in."
"This is, the Heaven and Earth scrolls," Tenten exclaimed, never expecting Neji to complete the exam after going out for a trip.
"Met three complacent Otogakure guys and just took them," Neji said.
However, this meant that Naruto and Sasuke didn't have a single scroll now, but Neji wouldn't consider such a problem. Anyway, Kabuto would help.
Only two days had passed, and many people hadn't arrived here yet. After Neji and the others passed the second exam, they went to rest on their own.
Although Karin didn't pass the exam, she was still a participant, so a room was naturally arranged for her.
In the room, Neji opened his attribute panel and couldn't help but sigh. Everything was because of the hardware.
[Host: Hyuga Neji]
[Age: 13 years old]
[Chakra Attribute: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Lightning]

[Overall Strength: Elite Jonin]
Even though he had mastered All-Killing Ash Bones and Intimidation, which could threaten Kage-level experts, his Chakra couldn't keep up. Otherwise, he would definitely be a Kage-level expert.
"What's my situation now?"
Neji suddenly thought of Kakashi. His situation was similar to his, lacking Chakra.
"It's all these ninjutsu, each one consumes more than the last."
It seemed that he still needed to find a few female ninjas like Kim.
"Then, let's just cultivate Chakra first."
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day the individual matches began.
Inside the tower, many high-level officials had already arrived.
The Chunin Exam had progressed to this point, and only twenty-one of the hundreds of participants remained.
Although the first written test had reduced many candidates, a large number of candidates still lost their qualifications due to the battles in the Death Forest.
Below, the crowd looked left and right, their eyes full of shock. The Chunin Exam was too intense.
"Is this the Chunin Exam?" Hinata murmured, "The competition is so fierce."
Neji stood in the group of twenty-one people, silently looking at them.
After the Otogakure trio died, three unknown ninjas replaced their positions, but Neji didn't care about these. He just wanted to know if the battle order had changed.
"Brother Neji."
