The power of the tailed beasts cannot be ignored by anyone. The Konoha Village, which possesses the Nine-Tailed Fox, can become the strongest in the ninja world on its own.

When the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha Village more than ten years ago, the powerful Nine-Tails was split into two, but even so, the Nine-Tails that lost some of its power in Naruto Uzumaki is still the strongest tailed beast.

Only those who have experienced the power of the Nine-Tails up close will know how terrifying it is. Danzo is so obsessed with the power of the first generation and spares no effort to collect the Sharingan because the first generation's Wood Release and Sharingan can control the tailed beasts. Using the power of the tailed beasts to let Konoha Village conquer the entire ninja world is Danzo's biggest dream.

To achieve this goal, the two most important things are to become Hokage and capture the tailed beasts. Just like when Konoha Village was just established, except for the one-tailed Shukaku captured by the Sand Ninja, the other eight tailed beasts all belonged to Konoha Village.

If the first Hokage had not insisted on dividing the tailed beasts and maintaining the military balance among the major countries, the Konoha Village at that time would have been fully capable of ruling the entire ninja world.

"The facts have proven that the policies of the first generation have failed, and the ninja world is still in turmoil. So it is natural for Konoha Village to end this chaos and correct this mistake!"

The successive setbacks did not make Danzo give up. Danzo still held powerful strength and had enough capital to turn the tables.

"No news from Orochimaru yet?"

"No, Danzo-sama."

"Well, continue monitoring, go down..."

There was no good news from Orochimaru either, so it seemed he could not be counted on. After his subordinates left, Danzo turned around and came to an empty laboratory, where there was only a humanoid creature soaking in a glass container filled with culture fluid. It seemed to realize that someone had come in, and it opened its eyes and looked at this familiar person.

What is surprising is that in its eyes, there are two three-magatama Sharingan.

"I wasted two lives just for this useful weapon. I hope you won't let me down."

With the resources at Danzo's disposal and the support of the omnipotent potion, it was too easy to make a clone. He used the active primary cells on his right arm to create a clone, transplanted two three-magatama Sharingan when he was young, and then cultivated him to the peak age of his twenties. It only took about half a month. Only a guy like Shimura Danzo who didn't care about money could waste it like this. If Mizuki did this, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"It's really a magical potion. Even I can give it a try as a researcher!"

Danzo himself is no longer the young man full of drive and enthusiasm he once had. He has lost the courage to take risks on his own, and finally chooses this relatively safe method to enhance his own combat power.

This clone, who was placed with high hopes, was cursed early on to strengthen control. The next step was to make it undergo cruel training similar to that of the "Root" ninja until it became a puppet that only knew how to obey orders and had no emotions.

"I've paid so much, I hope you won't let me down!"

Danzo is waiting to see what will happen when the first generation's cells and the Sharingan are combined. As long as the tailed beasts can be controlled, the means don't matter.

…

The audience is still looking forward to the match between Hyuga Neji and Aburame Shino. Both of them are from the same family. In comparison, Hyuga Neji is more famous. However, except for the slightly higher chakra consumption of Aburame Shino, there is basically nothing wrong with her. Hyuga Neji is different. Although his body has undergone emergency treatment, it is impossible for him to be as energetic as before.

The match was very tense. The soft fist was very powerful, and even the attack of a dense swarm of insects was defeated by Neci's impenetrable palms. As for secret methods, it was even more difficult for the Byakugan, as even the insect clones could not deceive Neci's observation.

Although both sides were very strong, this was probably the most boring match of the Chunin Exam. Shino kept launching insect swarm attacks, while Neji defended with all his strength, occasionally using Kaiten in an emergency, and occasionally using Eight Trigrams Palm to create a little trouble for Shino.

In this battle of physical strength and patience, it was Hyuga Neji who persevered to the end. It was not because Aburame Shino was weak, but because the conditions of this arena duel made it impossible for the insect master to use most of his methods.

Neji's strength will not be weakened too much with the consumption of chakra and physical strength. As long as he can still use the soft fist, his combat power will not be reduced. But it is different for Aburame Shino. The amount of chakra and the number of parasitic insects are directly related to his combat power. As the number of parasitic insects decreases and there is no way to replenish them in a short time, the pressure is all on Aburame Shino. When the number of parasitic insects decreases to a certain extent, forcing Aburame Shino to use physical skills to fight, the outcome is already very clear.

When Neji mustered up his last bit of courage and used the gentle fist technique - Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms, knocking Shino to the ground, Yamashiro Aoba declared Hyuga Neji the winner.

"What a shame. If only we could hold on a little longer, Neji will soon die."

Inuzuka Kiba, who kept shouting and cheering for his teammate Shino, said with regret when he saw that he still lost in the end.

"It's not bad at this level. Shino has performed very well. He will most likely be promoted in this Chunin Exam!"

"You can become a Chunin even if you lose like this?"

Inuzuka Kiba said with some surprise and envy.

Mizuki smiled and replied, "Losing here may not be a bad thing. You know, Sasuke is good at lightning escape, which has a great restraint on Shino. If he loses too badly in the final, his evaluation may be reduced!"

The individual parasites were too fragile. Although their combined strength was very strong, in the face of the all-pervasive lightning, Sasuke's lightning escape might kill a large number of these small insects, making them impossible to fight. Shino was at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight with Sasuke.

The most important showdown is about to take place, and there will be some time in between to lay the groundwork and prepare.

After fighting so many battles, Neji and Sasuke are almost unable to hold on. During the rest time, there will be special personnel to treat them and restore their combat effectiveness.

It would be extremely embarrassing if a candidate became physically exhausted and humiliated himself in public during the most important final. It would be totally unacceptable if the competition for first place was not as exciting as the previous ones.

This is the largest number of people in the history of the Chunin Exam, and Konoha Village has no experience. Twelve people are still too many, and it is best for each person to fight three rounds. If there are more, the pressure on the Genin will be too great.
