In the Land of Fire, Konoha
March 7
You can feel the warmth of spring.
At 9: 40 in the morning, the last assessment of the Joint Chunin Selection has been going on for nearly an hour. On the rostrum, Naruto of the Four Generations, former Naruto Third Generation, Sarutobi, talked about the history of Konoha from the founding of the village to the present.
"In the 60th year of Konoha, in this season of hope, our villages have once again gathered together. Although the change of the Chunin Exam from an annual to a triennial one will inevitably cause some talents to miss the opportunity to show their abilities, but gold will always shine, so please remember, for your long career, the Chunin Exam doesn't mean anything. But don't have an indifferent attitude, because it's the professional ethics of a ninja to take every battle seriously. Of course, as an old ninja who aspires to be a 'professor', I repeat, the purpose of this assessment is' friendship 'and' progress'. In short, I hope you can … In short … "
”
"Now we can officially start the competition." It was rare for him to listen to his senpai's speech with such a serious expression. The Fourth Hokage waved his hand and finally remembered to save the drowsy people. He also specifically emphasized his tone, "All departments are requested to be in their positions strictly according to the procedure."
But an hour later.
Everything still didn't go according to the procedure. It's not that the guy on the rostrum wanted to stand up and add a few words, but several lively Genin under the encouragement of the honorary headmaster of the Konoha Ninja Academy started to fight endlessly. But after all, it's not too common for ninjas to fight in broad daylight, so the atmosphere in the field was as hot as the slowly rising sun.
But for some "non-sightseers", no matter how wonderful the Genin's performance is, it's impossible to raise their spirits. The fact that the battle has been going on for so long only shows that these people are just as bad.
Anyway, that's what Gaara thought. He endured the yawn that was about to come out and let his gaze leave the Konoha Taijutsu performance that was still ongoing. Then, he continued to turn back to do more meaningful things. For example, under the resentful eyes of Konoha's Anbu, he took a closer look at the Golden Flash for a while.
Well, it's the current Naruto who is watching the competition with a smile and occasionally whispering to the guests behind him. Eero has a deep impression of this legendary character who always appears in the Sand Hidden's gossip. He's powerful, no one can deny it. In fact, Eero doesn't intend to deny it. Because in the early hours of this morning, when he couldn't hold himself back and wanted to get rid of those annoying Konoha Anbu, Golden Flash suddenly appeared in front of them. He didn't pay attention to his angry Chakra and touched his head as if the sand didn't exist!
She even ruffled his hair! He even said something like "You're Eero, right? Your touch isn't worse than my Naruto's".
And then? The next thing I Eero remembered was when Temari called him to eat in the morning. Then he came to this boring examination room. Eero couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the resentful Konoha Anbu in the crowd. Then he covered his mouth and couldn't help but yawn. Well, yawning is contagious. So I Eero yawned again and continued to look at Golden Flash. Until the audience burst into cheers. The meaningless taijutsu performance finally ended because the two idiots lost their strength.
I Love Robben didn't want to pay attention to boring things anymore, but the strong instinctive curiosity in his body drove him to turn his head excitedly to the two living bruises. So, he didn't see what kind of expression Golden Flash had when he said, "Thank you two Genin for showing me your courage to never give up." But I always felt that the word "courage" that the Hokage said contained something else.
Of course, other than giving his blessings and appreciation, Bo Fung Watergate was also relieved that the "battle" was finally over. Also, he was relieved that the brat finally stopped looking at me. Being stared at by a dangerous gaze wasn't a comfortable thing for a ninja with keen five senses. Even if it was a child staring at him, it still wasn't comfortable. Moreover, he wasn't sure if the dangerous child really lacked fatherly love like Orochimaru said, or if he really had a mission.
。 Bo Fung Watergate sighed and continued to talk about the weather with the Kazekage next to him. At the same time, he finally confirmed that the person sitting next to him was definitely a real Kazekage. As a father, he could feel that every time the Kazekage's gaze fell on his children, it was the same as when he looked at Naruto. And this kind of thing, Orochimaru couldn't fake.
Then, what about Orochimaru? Naruto looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes. It was already 10: 30. Under everyone's gaze, everything was normal. Nothing had changed.
Oh, no, except for my Eero's gaze.
I Eero had already given up staring at Naruto. He didn't want to see the unpleasant gaze of the Kazekage while happily watching the golden flash. Now Naruto and the Kazekage were a little close. So.
Even if I was bored, I Eero still looked at the battle between Kankuro and Uchiha Sasuke on the ring. The two seemed to be evenly matched, but I Eero felt that this battle wouldn't drag on for too long. Because Kankuro had indeed been assimilated by Konoha's Fool's Virus as Temari said. Kankuro, that's the Puppet Jutsu. Aren't you usually very smart? Why are you more impulsive today than yesterday? That strange Uchiha said a few words of provocation and you rushed up without caring about anything? Oh, look, he's down.
I Eero hooked the corners of his mouth, sneered, and looked at the rostrum again. The golden flash was still shining there, and the Kazekage? He didn't even react when he saw his son lose so badly, and he was still clapping absent-mindedly?
I Eero, who didn't see the joke, had to look back at the ring, and then walked up. The blond Naruto's son was already waiting for him on the ring.
As for the golden flash, of course, it continued to shine.
However, the young ruler of the Land of Fire, who was sitting behind Naruto, didn't get the slightest feeling at this time. He knew what he was looking at these days. He was looking at a group of children who were already Genin and working hard to become Chunin. Wasn't it very encouraging? Shouldn't it be a little bit exciting? But he still felt a chill down his spine. It was ice-cold. As the theoretical target of all the ninjas in the Land of Naruto, he had seen what ninjas were. He knew that ninjas killed people. Then what was killing people? People who had experienced the war knew, and the Kage sitting in front of the guest seats also knew. But did these children with cute faces understand? He wanted to ask, children, do you really understand what you are being taught and encouraged to do? He even wanted to ask his Naruto – Bo Fung Watergate, do you really understand what you are doing?
Unfortunately, he didn't dare.
So Naruto could only sigh silently in his heart, for the sake of his ruler who always unconsciously avoided him. He didn't know what he had done wrong to frighten his adorable little king. But it didn't matter, it didn't matter at all. What mattered was that his Naruto had already fought with me, Eero. Watergate understood that the current Naruto and the dangerous Eero couldn't be compared at all. But since he decided to let Naruto fight, he didn't want his son to lose too badly. Of course, winning or losing was even less important. But … Orochimaru still didn't make any move.
"If you don't make a move, I'll make a move." Bo Fung Watergate sighed softly and raised his hand, as if he wanted to block the dazzling sunlight in front of him – then …
The whole venue fell silent …
In fact, it only happened in the blink of an eye. If it wasn't for the sudden shout of the Fire Nation's ruler, perhaps no one would have noticed – Naruto had already stood up. Bright red blood meandered under his feet, dripping with a bright light. Following the flow of blood, Naruto's left hand was holding a person's head, which was neatly cut off from the neck. The person's long hair was black and straight, and his skin was blue and white. He stared at his remaining body in disbelief.
…
After a few more seconds.
The guests behind the rostrum fell into a wave of panic and screams.
At this time, someone had already recognized that the bleeding head belonged to his most outstanding student – Orochimaru.
"Bo Fung Watergate, you …"
"Ah, there's a small situation." Fourth Generations Naruto casually threw the head to the ground and shook off the blood on his hands. His captain, Uchiha Itachi, quickly handed him a clean towel and skillfully called his subordinates to deal with the body and the blood – he was more familiar with this task than pouring tea.
Naruto wiped his hands clean and nodded to the excited Itachi. He turned around to face everyone and spread his hands with a smile. "Okay, there's a troublemaker. Let's go back and look at the report – continue."
And so, the competition continued.
However, Naruto and Eero were no longer at daggers drawn like before. Now, the two of them were absent-mindedly exchanging moves – no one was watching anyway. So, their eyes were also focused on the rostrum – Naruto and Kazekage were still talking and laughing. As for the screaming king of the Fire Country, it seemed that he had been dragged out by Third Generations Naruto to vomit.
Naruto Uzumaki looked at his father's calm expression and silently exhaled. He was assassinated again, personally killed with one hit, and the useless Anbu and Naruto's guards didn't react at all. But it seemed that nothing had happened. Of course, that was the legendary Golden Flash, what could have happened? Naruto was proud of his father and secretly sighed for his competitor. Although this "Ro-something" guy seemed to be the strongest Genin in this batch, and it was said that he could use the terrifying strength of the Ichibi, but – how could a ninja be distracted during a fight?
"Hey, you lost."
Suddenly hearing Naruto's voice, Eero woke up with a start. He lowered his head and saw that one of his feet was already outside the arena – then he admitted defeat. Winning or losing wasn't important. What was important was to find a chance to kill you, Naruto Uzumaki.
So Temari immediately went to the arena. She stared at her opponent, Shikamaru Naruto.
Shikamaru Naruto raised his head. The sky was blue and cloudless, but his mood was very depressed – it shouldn't be like this. It obviously wasn't arranged like this. How could Naruto win against me, Eero? Of course, it would be very festive if he won, but there would be a lot of trouble if he lost. It's really troublesome.
Because the two sons of the Kazekage family didn't win this time. This was too disrespectful to their allies – the General Staff Department's arrangement was good.
And the result?
Too troublesome. Shikamaru Naruto looked at the straight girl who was staring at her prey and couldn't help but sigh. He decided to quickly find a chance to lose without losing face as a man. Although the princess won because she was a woman, at least the data calculated by the General Staff Department could still be salvaged.
Oh ~ that woman understood what he meant?
Shikamaru Naruto felt Temari's gaze. That's right ~ no one will watch this damn Chunin Exam anyway.
There is a time limit to the opportunity. Whoever catches it first will win.
