The best way to get to know each other is to learn from each otherââ The Ancestor of the Uzumaki.
The small woods suffered again from the several consecutive battles and became unsuitable.
However, these battles didnât end with winners or losers. Masahiko was stopping them at a critical time every round, so that they could know just their mistakes and learn each time. He didnât need to crush their motives and spirit to let improve themâŠ
âDo you still want to learn from each other?
The kids looked at each other and couldnât help but cast their gazes on the four who hadnât fought yet; Kimimaro, Haku, Karin⊠and Sakura.
âThese three are elite ninjas from the Uzumaki.â Masahiko corrected them and pointed, âDo you mean Sakura?â
Sakuraâs face was bittern; who she can beat? No one here is near her level⊠Maybe Naruto?
At this moment, Haku said softly, âNaruto, Iâve heard that youâre progressing really fast?â
Naruto was startled, âYeah!â
Karin curled her lips, âHeâs still the same weak kid, Haku, you donât want to fight him, do you?â
Haku smiled sweetly, âNaruto, we have never tried it before.â
âFighting with sister Haku?â Naruto murmured softly, and quickly said, âBring it on!â
Masahiko scratched his head, feeling a little a loss, but didnât stop them; Haku wouldnât hurt NarutoâŠ
âMagical Mirror: Ice Crystal!â
Masahikoâs mouth twitched; he wouldnât hurt Naruto, right?
Their vision was blocked by the ice mirrors; therefore no one could see what is happening inside. They could only listen, butâŠ
âAh Sister Haku! Itâs so cold! Itâs pointy! AaahâŠâ Narutoâs voice came out.
Masahikoâs face suddenly changed colors, but fortunately, the kids around were very pure and didnât overthink itâŠ
Only Karinâs face reddened and said, âWhat is this guy doing?â
After a while, the mice mirrors disappeared, and Haku flashed back with a sweet smile on his face, then bowed down to Masahiko apologetically.
Masahiko waved his hand, âIt doesnât matter.â
When he looked forward, he saw Naruto lying on the ground.
Sakura wanted to use medical Ninjutsu on him, but when she approached him, she frowned slightly; something seems to be different about Naruto.
âPuff! Naruto, your eyebrowsâŠâ
Naruto raised his hand and touched his face, feeling it; his eyebrows⊠were gone!
âSister Haku, whyâŠ?!â
Naruto didnât know what he did wrong, he simply couldnât connect this to what happened two months agoâŠ
âDonât be discouraged, Naruto, your eyebrows will grow longer if you shave it off.â Masahiko comforted, âFor now why donât you wear your forehead guard a little bit lower to cover up your ugly face?â
Naruto felt a bit irritated, but he had no choice but to lower his forehead protector a bit down.
âSo anyone else wants to learn or teach others?â
âŠâŠ.
Time flies. On the second day, Masahiko and Kimimaro sat down for breakfast at Ichiraku Ramen.
âElder, why did you call us this time?â Karin said softly.
Masahiko nodded, âKimimaro is going to do a small task. You and Haku are incidental.â
âGod, are you going to give me a mission?â Kimimaro looked up.
âNo hurry. Iâll tell you about it after the Chunin Exam.â
Masahiko thought about taking Naruto and Sasuke to the Valley of the End to fight after the Chunin Exam and see if he could get more witness points. And if possible, let Kimimaro and Gaara also fightâŠ.
The Uzumaki newly promoted S-Rank ninja Kimimaro is estimated to be able to kill Gaara in seconds. It just so happens that this will certainly be considered as a complete changeâŠ
Masahiko pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, âDid you notice Uchiha Hoshino from my class yesterday, Haku?â
Haku startled, âThat girl?â
Masahiko smiled, âNot bad, so even though youâre like this you can see the difference at a glance?â
Haku smiled sweetly without replying.
Karin was a little surprised, âIs that a girl? How come? He looked reallyâŠâ
âHow could you be a girl, while she canât? Sheâs much cuter than you!â
Karin was very calm. After so many years, she has long been immune to Masahikoâs âpersonal attacks.â

âKimimaro-Kun, letâs go shopping in Konoha after dinner, itâs been a long time!â
Kimimaro looked up at Masahiko.
Masahiko looked at Karinâs begging eyes and shook his head with a smile, âYou go. Haku has to follow me for a while and become an assistant teacher.
Karin rejoiced: âAlright!â
âŠâŠ..
As time passed, May came to an end. Three days later, the Chunin exam will start.
Sunagakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure⊠and Otogakureâs ninjas have arrived one after another.
âOtogakure actually participated even though I didnât invite Orochimaru. With Konohaâs lineup, he shouldnât dare to come⊠is this just a simple test?â Masahiko was in disbelief.
However, his focus soon shifted to another matter. There was something called the âNinja Cardâ circulating on Konoha Street. The source was a small stall in the bustling area, and the stall owner was Kabuto!
âHeâs selling them so he can donate the money to Konoha OrphanageâŠâ Masahiko said with interest.
After Kushina snatched 300 million Ryo from Masahikot and donated them to Konoha Orphanage, they opened many branches throughout the Land of Fire.
No matter how much money they used up, it seems that there are still few to generate income⊠it seems to be selling well.
âKabuto, where did you get these?â Masahiko said with a smile.
âAh Elder! Do you want to donate money again?â When Kabuto saw Masahiko he got quite enthusiasticâŠ
Masahikoâs face darkened, âThe orphanage now is much richer than me, why donât you donate some to me?â
Kabuto fixed his glasses, âThatâs funny. Many children went out of the orphanage, and some of them even entered the Ninja Academy and became classmates of the Genin who are taking the exam, so this information could be obtained with ease. The ones in the outer village are relatively primitive. Yes, you, Great Elder⊠can help me add more information, right?â
Masahiko raised his eyebrows, but didnât object, then said, âIs there any information about me?â
Kabuto was startled, âI wouldnât dare to share information about you, I only sell the ones who are participating in the Exam⊠but I have your card here.â
Kabuto took a card out of his pocket then handed it to Masahiko.
Masahiko looked at it and there were only a few lines of words: Uzumaki Masahiko, Great Elder of the Land of Whirlpools, age 100+, Strength: Unknown, the strongest man in the worldâŠ
Masahiko was silent for a moment; he should be happy about this, but he feels a bit awkward.
âDoesnât this mean that my death will be the beginning of a new era?â
After pondering for a moment, Masahiko handed the card back, âSell it, thanks to you, I remembered that I have some business to do!â
Kabuto: â???â
After half an hour.
A booth was set up on the opposite side of Kabuto: Chunin Exam Score Bet365!
Masahiko looked at the dumbfounded Kabuto, then at the curious pedestrians around him, and shouted with a smile on his face, âGather here, the ancestor is in the house, and the bet is safe!â
Masahiko was muttering in his heart, âOrochimaru, you better make that mistake and come here, because I, the dealer, will always winâŠâ
