Chapter 53: No More Pretending, Let's Reveal the Truth—I'm Senju Yagyu

Yagyu was indeed very surprised.

Just a moment ago, he was still wondering if the original matchup between Hinata and Neji was just a coincidence. Then, in the next second, he was paired against Neji Hyuga himself.

There was no doubt now. Yagyu's suspicions were correct—the pairings in the original story were manipulated, and they were still being manipulated now.

However, instead of watching a battle between the main branch and branch family heirs of the Hyuga clan, Hiruz...

Chapter 52: Hinata and Yagyu's Opponents, A Battle of Top Students

After Shino Aburame's victory, the pairings for the third match quickly appeared.

Kenshin Misumi vs. Kankuro.

Like Yoroi Akado, Kenshin Misumi was one of Orochimaru's spies planted in Konoha, and one of Kabuto's two teammates.

However, this particular spy didn't seem very bright! During his fight against Kankuro, he shamelessly used his body modification technique, making his body stretch and bend like a snake.

Those unfamiliar with Orochimaru might not notice...

Chapter 51: Manipulation Behind the Scenes, A Cruel World

Aside from Yagyu, 23 other candidates passed the second exam. Out of those, only six were not from Konoha; the rest... were all Konoha genin!

First, there were the 12 rookies, who alone took up twelve slots.

Because of Kiba Inuzuka, his two teammates also passed the second exam, bringing the total to 14.

Kabuto Yakushi and his two teammates, who were Orochimaru's spies planted in Konoha, took up another three slots.

Even though Yagyu had already eliminated the Sound ni...

Chapter 50: The End of the Second Exam

"Sakura, are you alright?"

"Hehe… I almost got taken out, but luckily Yagyu arrived just in time."

Just as Yagyu finished healing Sakura, Hinata and Shino appeared with a swift movement.

Hinata immediately checked on Sakura's condition, using her Byakugan to examine the flow of chakra in her body, making sure there were no internal injuries. Fortunately, aside from some chakra depletion, Sakura hadn't suffered any serious harm.

The two friends then stepped aside to c...

Chapter 49: Uchiha Sasuke's Realization and Battle Spirit

"Gulp…"

Staring at Kin, who was embedded in the tree trunk, her life or death uncertain, Dosu and Zaku couldn't help but swallow hard.

If you looked closely, you could see beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads and near their temples.

They weren't terrified by Kin's dire state but by the jutsu Yagyu had just used.

No... no hand signs at all! And yet, it was such a powerful jutsu without any hand signs.

Dosu, having gathered his wits, wasted no time in p...

Chapter 48: The First Victim of the Rasengan

In a certain area of the Forest of Death, two girls were engaged in a fierce battle between two towering trees.

The sound of explosions, like popping balloons, and the constant swishing of projectiles filled the air, startling nearby animals and sending them fleeing in all directions.

Zooming in on the scene, we see Sakura using her sensory techniques and continuously disrupting the flow of chakra in her body to break the genjutsu in front of her.

From Sakura's perspective, ...

Chapter 47: His Wings Are Not for Just Anyone to Beat

"Were those two people nearby your companions? They ran off as soon as they saw me," Yagyu asked.

"That's just how they are," Karin responded. "Both my mother and I were outsiders, and Kusagakure never trusted people like us. When they sent me here to participate in the Chunin Exams, I was already prepared to die."

"Did you have a Jonin supervising you?"

"No, Kusagakure is just a small village with very few Jonin. They only sent two teams to fulfill a neighboring country's i...

Chapter 46: The Infatuated Girl, Karin Joins Konoha

Karin wasn't sure how long she had been unconscious.

When she finally woke up, it was completely dark outside. However, the forest at night wasn't cold, as a warm sensation continuously flowed from nearby.

Turning her head, she saw a campfire burning next to her, with sizzling meat roasting above it.

"You're awake?"

A gentle voice reached her ears as a hand skillfully flipped the meat on the fire.

Following the movement of the hand, her eyes landed on the handsom...

Chapter 45: The Nosebleed Girl

Even though those three idiots had attacked them, they did bring something useful for Team 8.

"Yagyu-kun, they have a Heaven Scroll," Hinata said as she found a scroll on one of the fallen enemies, with the seal marked "Heaven."

"Great, we've got everything we need. Now, let's go find Ino and Sakura," Yagyu nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, his three shadow clones activated their Sharingan and began searching the Forest of Death for Karin.

The Forest of Death...

Chapter 44: Karin, A Key Part of the Plan

The next day, at 2:30 PM.

Yagyu left home and headed to the usual meeting spot for Team 8, joining Shino Aburame and Hinata on their way to the Forest of Death.

On the way, Shino shared his analysis: "The 44th training ground, also known as the Forest of Death, is one of Konoha's restricted training areas. It's said to be a dense, untamed forest filled with dangerous beasts and poisonous insects."

"After returning yesterday, I did some research on the training ground. The fo...

Chapter 43: The First Glimpse of Persuasion Jutsu, the Blind Admiration of the Three Girls

"Next, I will announce the contents of the tenth question, but before that, you must make a choice..."

Just like in the original story, Morino Ibiki, before revealing the tenth question, gave the examinees a choice: whether to answer or not. If they chose to answer and got it wrong, they would never be allowed to become Chunin. If they chose not to answer, they would automatically forfeit, and their entire team would be eliminated.

This choice immediately caused a stir throughout ...

Chapter 42: Seitenjo and Panda Eyes

"Long time no see, Yagyu."

As Ino, Hinata, and Sakura went off to chat, Shikamaru Nara, walking in with his hands behind his head, greeted Yagyu.

Taking a glance at the other examinees around, who looked wary and fearful, with some even having tear-streaked faces, Shikamaru quickly understood what had happened. "Looks like you gave them quite the scare."

"Long time no see, Shikamaru, Choji," Yagyu smiled. "I was just reminding them whose home turf this is."

After that,...

Chapter 41: Shocking the Audience, Konoha's Four Flowers

Upon reaching the registration area on the third floor, Team 8 handed over their application forms to the officials and received the location and seat numbers for their exam room.

After leaving the administration building, Yagyu and his team headed to the academy building.

Throughout the journey, Yagyu noticed that neither Team 7 nor Team 10, and not even Team Guy, were anywhere to be seen. He wasn't sure if they had arrived early or were running late.

At the entrance of the...

Chapter 40: Contrast Beauty and the Two Gatekeepers

Over the next few days, Yagyu stayed indoors, not leaving his house. Even when he needed groceries, he had his shadow clones handle it. He spent all his time inside, doing who knows what.

Meanwhile, many new faces appeared in the center of Konoha. These were genin from other countries who had come specifically to participate in Konoha's upcoming Chunin Exams. After arriving, they wasted no time and used various methods to gather information on Konoha's genin from recent years.

As ...

Chapter 39: A Bold Idea, Life Is a Gamble

The next day, at 9 a.m.

Yagyu and his teammates gathered early at their usual spot.

Kurenai arrived shortly after, using her body flicker technique to appear before them.

Normally, as soon as Kurenai arrived, she would immediately take Yagyu and his teammates to pick up a mission. However, this time was different. She was holding three forms in her hand.

Handing the forms to Yagyu, Shino, and Hinata, Kurenai said, "Yesterday, the Hokage summoned all the jōnin instruct...

Chapter 38: The Upcoming Chunin Exam

In the [space inventory]: Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan (Red)

At Yagyu's house...

After seeing off Hinata, who had helped him clean up after dinner, Yagyu summoned his virtual panel and checked the red orb in his space inventory.

Seeing the Kekkei Genkai he had been waiting for years to obtain, Yagyu felt a surge of joy.

Although, after obtaining the Red Eye, the Byakugan no longer offered any immediate improvement for him. But as a transmigrator, Yagyu knew that this was on...

Chapter 37: The Film Camera, and Finally Obtaining the Byakugan

After acquiring Ice Release and the ability for one-handed seals, Yagyu wasted no time and hurried back to Konoha. After all, Kurenai had only given Team 8 three days of rest.

Just like when he left, Yagyu re-entered the village by using a genjutsu to hypnotize the gatekeepers, avoiding the registration process.

The next day marked the third day of their break.

For a rare occasion, Yagyu didn't wake up for his usual morning training. Instead, he gave himself a break.

T...

Chapter 36: Ice Release and One-Handed Seals Acquired

To confirm if the loophole truly existed, Yagyu created another shadow clone. This time, the clone's chakra was only two-thirds of Haku's.

Looking at Haku, who was eating a soldier pill, Yagyu said, "Continue fighting my shadow clone, but this time, you can use your kekkei genkai and ninjutsu."

"Understood," Haku nodded obediently.

Soon, the cool evening air grew even colder.

"Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"

Haku started by using his Ice Release sec...

Chapter 35: The System's Exploit

"...Zabuza-sama!"

After an unknown period of time, Haku regained consciousness again.

This time, since he wasn't immediately knocked out again, his first concern upon waking up was Zabuza's safety.

Although it was dark, a bonfire was lit not far away.

With the help of the firelight, Haku quickly spotted Zabuza, who was still bound nearby.

Seeing that Zabuza-sama was still breathing, Haku, who had been panicking inside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aw...

Chapter 34: Yagyu’s Experiment

Just after Haku left, Kakashi Hatake collapsed from overusing his Sharingan.

In Yagyu's past life, Kakashi was often joked about by fans as the "unit of chakra" because of his frequent exhaustion.

However, in reality, Kakashi's chakra reserves were incredibly vast, similar to the Sage Body of the Uzumaki and Senju clans.

At the age of five, Kakashi could already use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

In the original story, without the burden of the...

Chapter 33: Reliable Sakura, Yagyu Watching the Show

The Land of Waves is an island surrounded by the sea, a nation without ninja. Before the Naruto Bridge was built, the people of this country could only travel to the mainland by boat.

That's why Tazuna wanted to construct a bridge connecting the Land of Waves to the ninja continent, hoping to revive the island's economy.

The Land of Waves was located at the eastern edge of the Land of Fire, separated from the mainland by just one sea-spanning bridge. Unlike the mountainous terrain...

Chapter 32: The Origin of All Dojutsu, Leaving the Village Again

In the bathroom, steam filled the air. Yagyu stood under the shower, washing away the fatigue of the past few days.

As he stood there with his head tilted back and eyes closed, his mind was replaying the main storyline.

Tazuna was an important character in the Land of Waves arc and the client for Team 7's first C-rank mission. However, this mission was far from simple. The one who wanted Tazuna dead was Gatō, one of the wealthiest men in the shinobi world.

Gatō's forces in...

Chapter 31: Yagyu's Weakness and Returning to the Village

"How is Kurenai-sensei, Hinata?" Yagyu asked as he approached Hinata and Shino, who were standing near Kurenai lying on the ground.

While treating Kurenai with a healing technique, Hinata replied, "She's fine, just knocked out by the electric shock."

"Good to hear." Yagyu nodded, though he felt a bit somber.

Seeing Kurenai in this state served as a warning for Yagyu. Despite having developed the Hard Whirlpool Water Blade, which gave him the ability to defeat higher...

Chapter 30: Bloodline Limit - Red Eye

The Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique and Water Style: Hard Whirlpool Water Blade marked Yagyu's biggest breakthroughs in recent times.

The Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, also known as the Paralyzing Jutsu, could be considered the Sharingan's version of the Body Bind Technique.

Though both are paralyzing techniques, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan only requires eye contact to pull the opponent into the illusionary world of t...
