Reading the simulated text, Ryun smiled faintly.
Now that the Chunin Exams were approaching, he naturally had to forcefully bring Kurenai over.
Although Kurenai still had many hesitations in her heart, Ryun would no longer give her a chance to hesitate.
[One month later, the Chunin Exams begin. Ino and Sakura's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and you also taught Tenten a few Earth Release techniques to prevent her from encountering her natural enemy, Temari.]
[With this month of intensive training, the girls smoothly passed the First Exam, as well as the testing phase of the Second Exam in the Forest of Death.]
[During this process, you made contact with Karin and brought her back to your home. Karin accepted your help without hesitation and settled comfortably in your house, becoming your secret maid.]
[Additionally, you had a close encounter with Orochimaru and experienced his strength firsthand. Then you realized that even with a full-powered burst, you could only drive him back; there was basically no possibility of killing him.]
Ryun frowned slightly. So that was the case, was it?
Although Orochimaru was instantly defeated by Itachi, which seemed somewhat humiliating.
At this point in time, the techniques Orochimaru mastered had undoubtedly already surpassed the standard version.
Even if Ryun used the Flying Thunder God, Yin Seal, and Formless Wave, defeating him would be very difficult.
The main issue was that in reality, Ryun's proficiency with these techniques wasn't yet up to par.
Ultimately, Ryun had simply had too little time to develop.
However, he was only testing his own level; he didn't actually plan to confront Orochimaru on behalf of Sarutobi Hiruzen during the Chunin Exams.
[The match order for these Chunin Exams was somewhat similar to what you remembered. Lee was pitted against Gaara and was severely injured by him, but thanks to your timely treatment, it wasn't a major issue.]
[Hinata was matched against Neji. Although she displayed her self-created True Moon Stream, the one-year gap still couldn't be closed, and she was ultimately defeated.]
[Neji didn't have it easy either. The difference in attack range forced him to use Rotation earlier than planned. The fight only ended when Hinata's chakra was almost completely depleted.]
Seeing this, Ryun frowned slightly. Hinata lost?
That wasn't too surprising, though.
At this point, Hinata hadn't yet received Ryun's talent inheritance. Although Ryun had improved her physique and ensured she was well-nourished.
Six months of growth still couldn't compare to the one-year age advantage Neji held.
However, Ryun was certain that by the time the actual Chunin Exams arrived, this situation wouldn't occur.
Even if Hinata had just received the talent inheritance from Ryun by then, she would definitely be able to defeat Neji? Why?
It was simple: Ryun would let Hinata learn her clan's Gentle Fist techniques in the simulation!
In the simulation, there was plenty of time!
[After this match, the girls continued training. And you warmed Hinata's disappointed heart with a night's embrace, helping her regain her spirits.]
[For the next month, while training with the girls, you also observed Temari, contemplating how to make her your woman.]
[You quickly realized that engaging in romantic communication with Temari was too troublesome. It would be faster to wait until Sunagakure is defeated, then approach her from a victor's standpoint.]
Temari, ah. This woman, who in the simulation had borne Ryun a child from a single attempt, Ryun hadn't even made contact with her in reality yet.
He needed her Wind Release nature, so naturally, he couldn't miss out on her.
[One month later, the final stage of the Chunin Exams begins. The first match was between Temari and Tenten. Tenten, who relies on tools, encountered her natural enemy.]
[As a result, Tenten used Earth Release to transform the terrain into rocky ground obstructed by various boulders, finally finding an opportunity to win with Fragment Shuriken.]
[The second match was Ino versus Sakura. Unexpected by everyone, they delivered a splendid duel. Ino astonished the audience by using the Twin Heart Method, while Sakura's immunity to Ino's secret technique left everyone puzzled about the power they wielded.]
[After half an hour, both were exhausted and chose to forfeit simultaneously, contributing a draw for all to see.]
[The third match was Neji versus Naruto. Facing a strengthened Naruto, Neji was defeated, losing due to Naruto's sheer chakra reserves.]
[The fourth match was the much-anticipated Sasuke versus Gaara. Gaara went on a rampage, and the Konoha Crush Plan began.]
Seeing the simulator suddenly continuously simulate the detailed process of the Chunin Exams, Ryun thought there might be a major problem with the matchups, but it turned out to still be Sasuke versus Gaara.
However, this also reminded Ryun that the outcome of the fight between Gaara and Sasuke wasn't necessarily fixed.
That is to say, it was actually possible that Gaara wouldn't go on a rampage but would successfully perform the Partial Awakening Technique in the arena. That would make the Konoha Crush Plan much more troublesome.
But for Ryun, it was just a matter of using the Flying Thunder God one more time.
[Afterward, with your covert intervention, the Konoha Crush Plan was completely thwarted. Rasa became a prisoner, and along with him, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and others were also captured.]
[The Third Hokage and Danzo died in battle, leaving Konoha in a leaderless state. You left Konoha ahead of the others, found Tsunade, and used gambling as an entry point to get acquainted with her.]
[Tsunade realized you were from Konoha but refused to discuss Konoha matters with you. Unhurried, you accompanied Tsunade on her travels, and finally, one time when Tsunade was drunk, you injected your Formless Wave into her body.]
[Tsunade wasn't controlled by your genjutsu, but she still looked at you in shock, because your method was unheard of, very reminiscent of a super-difficult technique used by an old acquaintance.]
[In her confusion, Tsunade wanted to make a mistake with you. But you woke Shizune, who stopped this farce.]
A slight smile curled at the corner of Ryun's mouth.
Ever since he developed the Formless Wave, he wanted to see Tsunade's reaction, and sure enough, her reaction was significant.
If Ryun really perfected a technique similar to the Spirit Transformation Technique, wouldn't Tsunade think he was the reincarnation of that old acquaintance?
This was indeed a good way to approach Tsunade, but Ryun only planned to use it in simulations, as it was sufficiently convenient and quick.
[The next day, the atmosphere between you became strange. However, you magnanimously stated it was just a misunderstanding and Tsunade didn't need to take responsibility. Tsunade then smiled broadly, linked her arm with yours, and called you a real man.]
[Subsequently, Jiraiya and Naruto arrived, looking for Tsunade to ask her to return and become Hokage. Tsunade was initially unwilling, but you told her that Konoha no longer had any Kage-level powerhouses, yet at this very moment, they were holding Rasa prisoner.]
[Tsunade realized Konoha was in danger, eventually agreed to return to Konoha with you, and with your assistance, severely wounded Orochimaru again.]
[Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade discovered you weren't a ninja. She tried to conscript you forcibly, but you refused. You told Tsunade that if she used force, you would run off to Sunagakure or Kirigakure and become a live-in son-in-law there.]
[Tsunade was exasperated, helpless against you, and could only agree to your special status in Konoha. You also began to approach Temari regarding Rasa's freedom. Following your instigation, Temari agreed to a political marriage with Konoha.]
Ryun drew a sharp breath.
Although he guessed Temari would likely agree, he didn't expect her agreement to be so direct.
This would probably make Gaara hate him... but it didn't matter, Rasa would surely agree.
At that point, it was still uncertain whether Gaara would attack Ryun first or Rasa first.
[Rasa also agreed to the marriage in prison. Consequently, he gained his freedom and left with Gaara and Kankuro. Temari then told you that Sunagakure wouldn't ensure peace between the two villages just for her life. You used your Flying Thunder God to show her that Sunagakure actually had no choice.]
[By the time you arrived, Gaara was already in a fierce battle with Rasa. Gaara, moved by Naruto, wanted to rescue Temari, but Rasa naturally wouldn't allow his son to act recklessly at this critical moment.]
[In the end, you secretly intervened, controlled Rasa, and caused him to lose to Gaara. This threw Sunagakure into complete chaos, guaranteeing they wouldn't have the attention to spare for Konoha for a long time.]
