Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 50 False Omnipotence, True Omnipotence

At the entrance to the Forest of Death, the genin who passed the first round of the competition are signing a life-or-death agreement at the request of the chief examiner, Anko.

Sakura is an ordinary person who is content with the status quo. All she wants is a Naruto who wants to be Hokage and a cool Sasuke.

At the end of the written exam, the examiner, Ibiki Morino, gave a final question. Answering incorrectly would mean remaining a genin forever, while refusing to answer would disqualify the candidate, though they could still participate in the next Chunin Exam.

To prevent Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage from shattering, Sakura is prepared to risk being disliked and take responsibility by raising her hand to give up.

As we all know, the outcome was as follows.

After Naruto's speech expressing his firm beliefs, Sakura's heart was slightly changed.

Thinking that she might not be stronger than Naruto and Sasuke in the future, she shouldn't at least be able to hold them back, right?

At this moment, Sakura is organizing her ninja tool bag.

"Eat fewer military ration pills, they will affect your development."

Kakashi, who had come along specifically for this purpose, glanced at the contents of Sakura's ninja tool bag and uttered a comment.

"...Wouldn't this be considered harassment?"

Temari, who overheard Kakashi's words, made a sarcastic remark.

"Kakashi-sensei, you must be joking."

Sakura ignored Kakashi's words, packed up her ninja tool bag, went to Anko to get a consent form, and signed her name.

—Just kidding, how could something like soldier pills, which ninjas eat all the time, have such a negative effect? ​​If it really did, wouldn't all female ninjas in the ninja world be flat-chested?

Sakura thought to herself.

The second Chunin Exams, the battle for the Heaven and Earth Scroll in the Forest of Death, begins.

On the other side, Bai Mo nodded to the people around him and then flew up into the sky above the Death Forest, preparing to observe the battle from above.

Orochimaru was very efficient; not long after Naruto and Sasuke's team entered, Orochimaru came knocking on their door.

Bai Mo watched from the sky.

Although the trees obscured the view, Bai Mo still sensed exactly what had happened.

Under Naruto's powerful persuasive words, Sasuke overcame his fear of death and began to fight back against Orochimaru, who was pretending to be a genin.

Orochimaru was brutally beaten, but didn't bleed a drop.

After this battle, Orochimaru was very satisfied with Sasuke as his intended vessel, took a bite of him, and gave him a cursed seal.

Sasuke fainted.

Then came the encounter with the Sound Ninja Team. Sakura cut her hair to grow up and began to protect her teammates.

"Are these the reincarnations of Asura and Indra you were talking about? And who is this girl?"

Xiao Nan's voice came from behind Bai Mo.

Bai Mo glanced back and saw that besides Xiao Nan, there was also Kurotsuchi and Terumi Mei, who had been brought up by Kurotsuchi. The two of them were still some distance away and were slowly drifting over.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, watching from below as the group ascended into the sky, felt strangely at ease.

Just now, when Bai Mo's figure was alone in the sky, he felt a little uneasy.

~

"Don't underestimate her; she'll surpass her two teammates in the future."

"That amazing?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned. "Then why didn't you think of recruiting her into the organization, or try to guide her? You're joking, right?"

"That's really not it."

Bai Mo smiled and shook his head, "In the future, one of her teammates will lose their tailed beast, and the other will lose their Rinnegan, causing their strength to drop significantly..."

"If the difference in strength wasn't so obvious at that point, then later on, one would be sealed in another dimension, and the other would be half-dead and become a vegetable."

"..."

Xiao Nan remained silent.

So there are actually such "surpassing" abilities?

It's not that we become stronger, but that others become weaker?

The fake divine spell "Omnipotence" allows the identities of the person you have a crush on and your best friend's crush to be swapped.

The true divine power, "Omnipotence," is the phrase "I think I've caught up with them," which sets the fate of the entire world in tandem with that statement.

"I didn't mean to mock her. It's already quite an achievement for a commoner ninja in Konoha to reach the level she had at that time."

"Unfortunately, everyone in the future was immersed in a false peace. The threat of the Otsutsuki was concealed by her two teammates. By the time the concealment could no longer be kept, it was too late for the entire ninja world to develop and make efforts."

Bai Mo sighed.

Kurotsuchi and Mei Terumi, who were drifting over, also happened to hear these words.

Both of them had been informed by Bai Mo about the threat posed by the Otsutsuki.

Upon hearing this, he didn't say anything, but he began to have thoughts about improving his own strength.

Bai Mo introduced new systems to them, reduced the burden on Ying, and developed the village, not just for them to enjoy themselves.

"Hmm? That's...?"

Kurotsuchi saw the black and silver... uh, patterns that appeared on Sasuke's body after he woke up below.

"Orochimaru's research on the cursed seal is a form of application of natural energy."

"Natural energy, isn't that just magic?"

"More or less."

"..."

"His mental state seems somewhat unstable."

"Don't worry about it. If he's still obsessed with this power even after knowing how to advance the Sharingan, then he's doomed."

Amidst their laughter and conversation, Sasuke below managed to suppress the cursed seal again through sheer willpower.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, after leaving a cursed seal on Sasuke, noticed Bai Mo and his group watching from the sky before leaving the Forest of Death.

They noticed that the group consisted of the Mizukage and Tsuchikage who had questioned Konoha's claim of having a Silver Demon, as well as an unknown ninja, so they paid them no further attention.

Even if they had just seen him commanding the giant serpent, they wouldn't immediately connect it to him.

Then the Konoha Crush plan can still proceed as scheduled.

Orochimaru believed that even if he hadn't discussed it with the Mizukage and Tsuchikage beforehand, they wouldn't help Konoha when he launched his attack and initiated the Konoha Crush plan.

……

"I can't stand it anymore."

"Me too, we'll go down first."

After watching the battle for a while, Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi, with dark expressions, told Bai Mo and left.

Although their purpose was to watch the "battle of the masters," they inevitably saw the newbies from their own village.

After the written test eliminated a large number of candidates, those who remained were still pitifully weak.

In fact, the intensity of this Chunin Exams in Konoha was already excessive.

Leaving aside Orochimaru, the guy who fried fish, the Sound Ninja team he brought, and most importantly, Gaara, made this exam extremely difficult.

Being able to pass through the Forest of Death means one has at least the level of a Chunin.

But what about the group from Iwagakure and Kirigakure?

They were already weak, and Iruka could easily defeat them.

The key issue is that these people are not young.

An adult hits a child, and then gets beaten up by the child in return.

Some people not only handed over the reels, but even went so far as to shamefully kneel down and beg for mercy.

No wonder the two of them couldn't stand it anymore.

Bai Mo stopped watching.

He already knew the result; he was just watching the process to see if Sasuke had changed after being influenced by him.

Bai Mo didn't fly back to say anything more to Hiruzen Sarutobi; instead, he went straight back to the streets of Konoha Village.

After walking for a while, Bai Mo saw a pile of Hyuga clan crests at the entrance of the house.

There was also a little girl with rolled eyes running around in front of the door.

"Why is nobody here?"

Bai Mo looked around and still found it hard to imagine that a child would be chasing after the young lady of the Hyuga clan and calling her a "Byakugan monster" in Konoha.

If it were during the Chunin Exams, and ninjas from other villages came, then such an incident would be somewhat understandable.

"What? Nobody's here? What do you want to do!"

A voice came from the mansion directly opposite Bai Mo.
