Chapter 61: There's Still Something Admirable About Me in the Original Story - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

Chapter 61: There's Still Something Admirable About Me in the Original Story Pushing open the door to Classroom 301. The expansive classroom was already packed with people, a menagerie of casually extravagant ninja outfits creating a cacophony of voices. "So fast!" Two figures zipped past Hinata, one of them enveloping Sasuke in a huge embrace, startling Hinata. This speed was on par with Kakashi's. "Sasuke~ long time no see!" Ino and Sakura, those two unabashed fans, completely disregarded the occasion, publicly clinging to and cuddling Sasuke, leaving Hinata feeling envious. "Step back, Forehead. Sasuke's mine!" "Ino Pig, what did you say?" Hinata quickly distanced herself from the battleground, knowing that anyone speaking up now would undoubtedly get verbally torn apart. They must be really jealous of me. Naruto's eyes sparkled, seemingly having learned something, as he looked around, nonchalantly edging closer to Hinata. Hinata: "..." Casting a sideways glance at the eager Naruto, Hinata coldly sneered, "I'll beat you to death…" Naruto awkwardly chuckled, "Hehe!" "You guys are here too, this exam… it's such a pain." Shikamaru, pursing his lips, looked on with complete resignation. Choji didn't speak, only continued making crunching sounds. "Hey! Hinata, want some?" Choji, in good spirits, offered his chips to Hinata, embodying the spirit of good friends sharing. Hinata seriously examined Choji for a few moments, reluctantly shaking her head, slightly embarrassed, "Thanks, but no… By the way, Choji, your forehead protector…" Choji was rather cute as a child, and Hinata enjoyed playing with him. The chubby boy was warm-hearted, kind, and easily managed, as long as certain taboo words weren't mentioned, he wouldn't get angry, no matter what you did. But the current Choji… Hinata really felt like cutting ties. Wearing the forehead protector on the forehead is one thing, but why shape it like a triangle? Is it to highlight your individuality? Even a superhero only wears their outfit outside; why put it on your head? Choji scratched his head, chuckling foolishly, "Oh, this! I just thought it looked cool this way…" Is that so? Haha, as long as you like it! "Tsk, looks like everyone's gathering!" Energetic and brimming with confidence, Kiba also walked over, with his inscrutable companion Shino Aburame donning sunglasses by his side. Who? Shino? Hinata turned her head sharply, carefully assessing Shino's appearance and form, planning to firmly etch them into her memory. This man, known as the 'Undefeated Legend' in the original story, has finally been seen by Hinata after six years as classmates. Compared to Shino's undefeated record, Hinata in the original was defeated repeatedly, with a combat record that was dismal. She never won in her lifetime. Hinata thoughtfully recalled her own character in the original, contemplating, "Did I perhaps do something wrong?" Beauty and kindness should suffice, and battles are best left to Naruto and Sasuke! Speaking of kindness… Hinata glanced at Naruto a few more times. Forget it, fighting suits me more. "Yo! Akamaru, Shino, you're here too!" Hinata waved, greeting them. "So, Hinata, Sasuke!" Kiba, brimming with confidence, calmly asked, "How far do you think we can go?" "Also, my name is Kiba, not Akamaru!" Sasuke chuckled softly, "Hmph! Kiba, you don't seem nervous at all!" Kiba looked at Hinata, "And you, Hinata?" Hinata fiddled with her fingers, meekly saying, "I don't have much confidence!" In this exam, Hinata decided to stop trying to be Otsutsuki Hinata and just be her true self, the pure and simple Hinata Hyuga. There wasn't any other choice; too many high-level players were hiding. Defeating Gaara was fairly manageable; Hinata’s speed surpassed even Rock Lee's standard speed, with Gaara's only troublesome aspect being his sand armor. But this exam also had Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi mixed in. One was the mastermind behind the Fourth Ninja War, and the other, its technical support. The newbie within her was trembling. Speaking of Kabuto… "Listen, you newcomers might want to stay quiet!" Kabuto Yakushi appeared, donned like a helpful senior, advising, "Everyone's tense before the exam, so you better not provoke them…" "Then again, it's not entirely your fault. You're newcomers… I was like that too once." Now, Hinata just wanted to be a hidden presence, sheltering behind the other rookies, chanting in her heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me!" "Lady Hinata!" Oh no, who called me? Hinata turned back to see Neji, accompanied by Rock Lee and Tenten, arrive. Seeing Hinata's unusual expression, Neji asked with concern, "Lady Hinata, are you alright?" Hinata fiddled with her fingers again, trying hard to act inconspicuous, softly replying, "Neji bro, I'm fine! Weren't you the same on the second floor?" Neji responded calmly, "I see. Well, Lady Hinata, try your best!" "You too, do your best, Neji bro!" Rock Lee curiously eyed Hinata, thinking to himself, "So, this is Neji’s legendary genius cousin? I'd love to spar with her." With Hinata's arrival, Hizashi Hyuga wasn't killed. Neji, receiving personal guidance from his father, was significantly stronger than in the original story. Among Konoha's Genin, if Kabuto Yakushi ranked first in strength, then Hinata and Gate Releasing Rock Lee shared second place, and Neji could at least rank third. Although Gate Releasing Rock Lee was tricky, he was like a firework; just withstand it for a while, and it’ll be over. Meanwhile, Hinata quietly conversed with Neji, while Kabuto began briefing the rookie Genin on the Chunin Exam information. Kabuto glanced at Hinata with interest, pondering if she had discovered something or simply retreated to the back because her clan brother arrived. Interesting… Sasuke was undoubtedly one of Orochimaru's targets this time, but Kabuto, having been in Konoha for years, naturally took note of Hinata, who had been beating Sasuke for six years. Hinata conveyed an air of helplessness ┑(￣Д￣)┍. Too dazzling. In Kabuto's view, despite Sasuke's considerable talent and possessing Sharingan, the Mangekyo far surpassed the regular Sharingan and Byakugan in value. If the information about Madara Uchiha was accurate, then Sasuke's value would far exceed Hinata's. After all, Itachi is still alive. Although Hinata’s talents were extraordinary, she unfortunately had the Byakugan! In the original, Orochimaru’s urgent pursuit of Sasuke was definitely not simply to defeat Itachi. Kabuto’s discussions with Madara revealed that Orochimaru had undoubtedly deciphered some ancient secrets. He knew about the Eternal Mangekyo and even understood the existence of the Rinnegan. Kabuto lamented that the Byakugan seemed devoid of hidden secrets.
