Chapter 77: The Prelude to the First Exam, Boastful Sound

  It's been several days since that meeting, and today is July 1st, the day of the Chunin Exams. At this time, Ren Tsurugi had already arrived at the classroom where the first exam would be held. The room was packed with people, with only forty minutes left before the start of the exams. Ren casually glanced around the room and found Iruka, Kakashi, Teuchi, and nine other genin who were part of a different group from Naruto's, but one person had yet to arrive - Rock Lee, also known as Little Li. It was probably because his match against Sasuke had already ended, and he might be crying with his teacher about the pain of youth.

  "It's really quite interesting, I'd better take a good look at this exam. Now let's go see Kakashi-sensei, he should be outside the door." Momo said to herself, and quickly left the classroom where the first test was held.

  "Hey, Kakashi-sensei, you're really waiting for them here. To be honest, I was thinking, does what you're doing even make sense?" Mei Ling said with a smile as she arrived at the door.

  "You also know that if I didn't do this, Sakura would be in danger. After all, a ninja without confidence has a higher chance of dying during the Chunin Exams." Kakashi said calmly.

  "But I think they will definitely come together this time," Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "What makes you so sure?" Kakashi asked Menglong.

  "Team spirit." After Meng Ling simply said four words, she found that the stairs in the distance had already made footsteps.

  "They've arrived, so you can teach them well next time. I'll leave first." After saying that, Meng Ling didn't wait for Kakashi's response and directly entered the examination hall.

  "Think about it, on Earth, it's also an exam, but the meaning is completely different. " Meng Ling looked at the crowd in the classroom with a playful expression, but just then...

  "That woman with pink hair over there, I remember you're called Shen Ruyue Mengling, are you also here to take the exam?" A cold voice reached Mengling's ears.

  "Oh? Isn't this Xiao Xiongmao Yan Jun? How is it that you have the leisure to greet me?" Meng Ling turned her head and saw that the person speaking to her was none other than Ai Luo, who had a gourd on his back and a gloomy face. As for how Ai Luo knew Meng Ling, that would require telling the story of how Naruto and Kaneto met that day. Although everything had happened just like in the original story - Naruto getting beaten up, Sasuke's cool entrance, and Ai Luo's mysterious appearance - in the end, Meng Ling still appeared, not for any other reason than her own curiosity. After all, when she was on Earth, she had heard that Ai Luo's "panda eyes" were actually just dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep due to a certain someone...

  The result was that Mei Ling and Iroh had a brief exchange, just one move. At the time, Iroh used his sand attack on Mei Ling, but in the end, Mei Ling simply used her water escape to bypass Iroh's sand, rendering it completely useless, so Iroh paid special attention to Mei Ling.

  "Take back those words, or I'll kill you." Luo Yinxin said. At this moment, Meng Ling also felt a hint of murderous intent.

  "Oh, is that so? Although I'd like to accept your challenge, it's not the right time. If we were to fight here, it would be quite troublesome." Meng Ling said fearlessly, at the same time emitting a killing aura several times stronger than mine, and even I couldn't help but take a sudden shock from feeling her killing aura.

  "You haven't answered my question yet. Are you here to take the exam or not?" Iro asked again, calmly.

  "Well, since you're so curious, I'll tell you - I'm a Jonin now. Do you think I came to take the Chunin exam?" asked Mugen with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

  "What a shame to have missed an opponent!" After hearing Meng Leng's reply, Iroh faintly said a sentence and returned to his original position.

  "If you really want to fight me, there are plenty of opportunities." Meng Ling said softly, and then didn't care about Airo's movements anymore, because at this time, Meng Ling's gaze had been attracted by the open classroom door.

  "Oh, Naruto! You guys are here! I thought you'd be too scared to show up!" Mei Ling exclaimed as she rushed over to greet them.

  "How is it possible? I'm a man who's going to be the Hokage, of course the Chunin exam is no big deal. I'll definitely pass with ease." Naruto patted his chest and said proudly.

  "Oh, is that so? Then I'm really looking forward to it." Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "Sasuke, you're late!" Just then, a voice sounded from behind Sasuke, who was standing next to Mugen. The newcomer was none other than Yamato of the Twelve Guardians of Konohagakure.

  "It's been ages since I've met Sasuke, and I'm so excited that I can barely contain myself." Ino said with a mischievous grin.

  Right after that, Sakura got into a fight with Iruka... and then the nine new genin from Konoha all appeared one by one. Among them, the one who caught Mei's attention was Hinata, who was a bit shy, because she knew that Hinata liked Naruto, but Mei just didn't know if Naruto would end up with her in the end.

  "It's really unexpected that Naruto, this wooden man, would have someone secretly in love with him. I'm really looking forward to their future development." Dreaming thought to herself.

  Just then, while Naruto and others were still making a racket, a person who was described in the same way as in the original work appeared. He was Tō.

  As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of Mugen and many lower ninjas. It was now this hypocritical "Tou" who kindly told Naruto about his current situation, because their recent big argument had already attracted the attention of many malicious ninjas.

  And in the end, at Sasuke's request, Tsuru also kindly told Sasuke and others some people's information. Just then, Tsu said a sentence.

  "Don't you want to know about that person called Meng Ling? To be honest, I was shocked at the time. I think you won't be an exception either."

  "Hmm, how did he get my information? It's really strange." Meng Ling thought to herself.

  "I heard that this time in Sasuke's team there are two jonin, could the other one be you?" Iino asked tentatively.

  "Uh, because Captain Naru is my teacher, so this time I'm just here as a student." said Meng Ling with a smile.

  "Then let's take a look at her information." Sasuke said coolly.

  "Ah, it's this one. Now, let you all see for yourselves." Taro placed a card on the ground and input his chakra. "Alright, take a look, but don't be shocked."

  "This...this is?" Sasuke and others looked at Meng's data after, simultaneously revealing a shocked expression.

  Kamui no Mutsuki, Wood Leaf Village Elite Jonin, became a Genin at the age of 10, former team leader was Ooyama, teammates were Kazehana no Mai and Kazehana no Hikari, also promoted to Jonin in the same year, served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, completed S-rank mission once, A-rank mission once, B-rank mission three times, C-rank mission 49 times, D-rank mission 34 times...

  Although everyone was shocked after seeing Meng Ling complete the S-level task, Dou's next words made the crowd gasp again.

  "I heard that the person in front of you is known as the Guardian Angel, not only a very famous star, but also rumored to have protected important people from harm during her time at Daimyō's mansion. Moreover, Guardian Angels are usually lone wolves." The implication was clear: Dreaming alone had enough power to easily defeat the ninjas who came to assassinate the target, and her strength was recognized by everyone except for that idiot Naruto.

  It was at this time that Sakura discovered something was off about Naruto, originally thinking that Naruto was somewhat disheartened and preparing to comfort him, but in the end found her concerns were completely unnecessary.

  Because Naruto issued a challenge to all the participating ninjas present at this moment, of course, Naruto, this silly hat, naturally didn't know.

  Not long after, the three sound ninjas launched an attack on Tsuba. As in the original work, Tsuba suffered a great deal, but Meng Ling knew that it was impossible for someone who could be said to be at the same level as Kakashi by Orochimaru to be defeated by lower-level ninjas...

  "Wow, it seems that these ninjas are all top-notch actors. Now they're starting to act in front of us too. Well, let's just see how long they'll keep up this act. I should get back to my own business anyway." Mèng Líng thought to herself.

  "It seems that even a four-year veteran like myself isn't anything special." The sound ninja who had wrapped his head up like a rice ball said calmly.

  "Write on your cards that the three from Otogakure will become Chunin." A Jonin from Otogakure with three "death" characters written on his forehead also boasted. At this time, some of the relatively strong ones in the classroom also started discussing, it was clear that Otogakure's sound-based ninjutsu wasn't very famous yet.

  "It's really arrogant, but you guys shouldn't interfere anymore, the first exam of the Chunin Selection is about to begin, so get ready. Besides, these people's pasts are also quite pitiful... especially after meeting Orochimaru..."

  "Give me quiet, you bastards." Just then, with the rise of a white mist, a coarse voice sounded in everyone's ears, and immediately, many ninjas appeared before everyone.

  "Long wait, I am the chief examiner of the first exam of the Jonin Selection Exam, Morino Ibiki!"
