"Who is Zhong Chen?"
Ino Yamanaka, standing nearby, frowned and asked Sakura Haruno.
"Are your ears broken? I already said the First Rainbow Shadow."
"Forehead-girl, you..."
"Alright, Ino, you two stop arguing. Come here and listen together."
While Shikamaru Nara wasn't interested in much, he was quite interested in the First Rainbow Shadow.
Kabuto Yakushi picked up a card, his expression grave, and began to speak:
"Zhong Chen, First Rainbow Shadow. Mission experience: unknown. Abilities: unknown."
"In Konoha Year 46, he killed the daimyo of the Rainbow Country and occupied the Rainbow Country. In the same year, he established Rainbow Ninja Village."
"In Konoha Year 48, he led his army to occupy the former Land of Rivers. In the same year, he broke into the front lines between Konoha and Sunagakure, defeated Sunagakure and our Konoha Village, and captured a large number of ninjas from both countries."
"Afterward, he single-handedly intimidated Iwagakure and Kumogakure, forcing both countries to pay large sums of money as so-called 'emotional damages.'"
"This completely established Rainbow Ninja Village's reputation as the strongest in the Shinobi World and his position as the strongest individual in the Shinobi World."
"He then suddenly disappeared for ten years, during which his disappearance led to the Third Shinobi World War."
"However, during this period, no ninja village dared to invade the Rainbow Country."
"His last appearance was six years ago, but I have no information on what exactly happened."
"After that, he passed on the Rainbow Shadow position to the current Rainbow Shadow and disappeared again."
"This is the basic information on the First Rainbow Shadow, Zhong Chen."
At this moment, not only the Konoha 12 Genin, but all the examinees had heard Kabuto Yakushi's words.
However, everyone's expressions were surprisingly consistent: they were all gulping in shock.
Although they knew the First Rainbow Shadow was powerful, they hadn't realized he was *this* powerful.
He had practically intimidated the entire Shinobi World by himself.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno's minds were all filled with the image of Zhong Chen they had seen in the Land of Waves.
That seemingly carefree guy was actually this strong.
Especially Sasuke Uchiha, realizing he had been treating such a person as a target for revenge, he felt a surge of relief.
"Alright, do any of you still want to know any information?"
Hearing Kabuto Yakushi's words, Hyuga Neji, who had been standing nearby, walked over with Rock Lee and Tenten.
"I do!"
"Oh, who do you want to know about?"
"That expressionless guy from Rainbow Ninja Village."
Kabuto Yakushi followed Hyuga Neji's gaze and saw Kimimaro standing quietly beside Karin and Nise.
Kimimaro, huh... Kabuto Yakushi certainly knew Kimimaro, after all, he and Orochimaru had sent Kimimaro to Rainbow Ninja Village together.
He just hadn't expected Hyuga Neji to be interested in Kimimaro.
"I know about that guy, let me look..."
"Found it, it's this one."
With a slight puff of smoke, Kimimaro's information appeared on the card.
"Kaguya Kimimaro, the sole survivor of the Kaguya clan from Kirigakure, who ended up in the Rainbow Country for unknown reasons."
"He later joined Rainbow Ninja Village, is suspected of possessing a Bloodline Limit. Mission experience: C-rank 16 times, B-rank 15 times, A-rank 6 times, S-rank 1 time."
"A Genin actually participated in an S-rank mission? How is that possible!"
Kabuto Yakushi exclaimed in feigned shock.
"An S-rank mission? Isn't that a special mission only Jonin can take on?"
"Why would someone like that participate in the Chunin Exams!"
"This is just too unfair."
After learning Kimimaro's information, the examinees couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves, as such a person was truly a bit too much.
Could this guy be a Jonin disguised as a Genin to take the exam?
Thinking this, everyone's gaze shifted to the expressionless Kimimaro.
"Since Lord Hokage allowed him to participate in the exam, then he should indeed still be a Genin."
"This guy..."
"By the way, Senior Kabuto, do you have any information on that Little girl?"
Tenten looked at Nise, who was being held by Karin, and asked with an envious expression.
"Ah? That Little girl? No... no."
Kabuto Yakushi shook his head vigorously. He truly had no information on Nise, as she had been temporarily brought in by Zhong Chen to make up the numbers.
But the moment he saw the little loli, Kabuto Yakushi knew this was another ancestor.
Ever since joining the Monster Country Federation with Orochimaru, he had understood a truth.
That is, anyone in the Monster Country Federation could be provoked; even provoking Rimuru and Milim wouldn't be a big deal.
At most, they would be pranked, but there would be no danger to their lives.
But those little lolis, especially those not over 14 years old, absolutely must not be provoked.
Once provoked, congratulations, you would have no place to stand in the Monster Country Federation, from top to bottom.
"None, huh..."
Hearing Kabuto Yakushi's reply, all the girls present showed a hint of disappointment.
Just as Kabuto Yakushi was about to say something else, a huge puff of smoke suddenly appeared, accompanied by a stern voice.
"Quiet down, you useless lot!"
As the smoke cleared, a man with several scars on his face appeared with many examiners before everyone.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I am Ibiki Morino, the chief examiner for the first part of the Chunin Selection Exam."
Zhong Chen pointed at Ibiki Morino on the screen, his face filled with exasperation, and shouted at Kurome,
"Kurome, look at him! A mere Jonin has such a powerful aura. Now look at you, truly... sigh..."
"Chomp, chomp, chomp... The Rainbow Shadow position was originally forced upon me by Lord Zhong Chen... Also... are you still eating these potato chips?"
Kurome's eyes were already on the potato chips in front of Zhong Chen before she had even swallowed the food in her mouth.
"Arrogant!!!"
"You dare to covet even my potato chips, you are absolutely lawless!!!"
Kurome swallowed the food in her mouth, pouted her lips, and turned her head, muttering softly:
"Mmm mmm mmm... If you don't give me any, then you don't... Hmph..."
"Mine, Lord Zhong Chen and Kurome look like two children having a tantrum."
Sheele picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and said with a blank expression.
"Uh... Sheele, don't say those things in front of Lord Zhong Chen. He'll lose face..."
Before Mine could finish her sentence, she saw Zhong Chen excitedly give Sheele a thumbs-up, shouting,
"Sheele, Good Job!"
"Alright, it seems you understand Lord Zhong Chen better."
Zhong Chen showed a teasing smile as he looked at Mine.
"Mine, you girl have definitely never heard a saying."
"What saying?"
Mine looked at Zhong Chen with a puzzled expression and asked.
"As the saying goes, flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns."
"Therefore..."
"A man is a youth until he dies!!!"
