At the beginning of the third Chunin Exam, no one was optimistic about Sakura, who looked weak. After all, the strength of Sunagakure's three-man team was obvious to all. Kankuro, who was good at puppetry, Temari, who was good at Wind Release Ninjutsu, and Gaara, who controlled sand and seemed to be very bloodthirsty and violent. These three people had more combat experience than most of the ninjas who participated in the Chunin Exam. Compared with Sakura, who just graduated from the Ninja Academy this year, who was stronger? Everyone had their own considerations.
When Sakura suddenly burst out with such amazing power and directly blew up Kankuro's puppet, everyone's eyes were stunned. But no one thought that Sakura was already a sure win, because puppeteers were not only good at controlling puppets to attack in close range, but also a variety of hidden weapons and poisons.
However, Kankuro didn't use the puppeteer's real attack method. Instead, he seemed to surrender immediately after his puppet was damaged. Everyone could feel the thick aura of conspiracy in this battle that started strong but ended weak. Although Sakura looked like she was smiling, when she walked to Nangong Zhe's side, her face became gloomy.
"Nangong -san, you told me before that puppeteers have all kinds of unexpected means, so I paid full attention to it. You even prepared a lot of antidotes for me before the game, but I didn't expect Kankuro to surrender so quickly … They … What do they want to do?"
Sakura said, and her eyes looked in the direction of Sunagakure's reference ninja and their lead sensei. The suspicion in her eyes was simply too strong to be dispelled. Naruto naturally heard Sakura's words, and with some confusion, he asked Sakura:
"What's the matter? Isn't it good to be able to defeat the opponent smoothly and enter the next round? "
When Nangong Zhe heard Naruto's words, he didn't have any psychological pressure and said to Sakura:
"Sakura, you don't have to care so much. You don't have to worry so much about these dirty things between adults. No matter what the consequences are, there are naturally some adults who don't mind watching the fun. Since we've won, let's just be happy … "
When Sakura heard Nangong Zhe's words, although she was still very confused, she wasn't so serious. Yes, Wood leaf has Hokage, Anbu, and many Jonin level ninjas. She was just a little ninja who was still working hard to become a Chunin. Even if there was something very important, how much strength could she exert? Wouldn't it be better to live up to his own victory and be happy for a while?
Although Hayate Gekko was a little worried because the last battle was very strange, after all, the next battle was about to start. He adjusted his mentality and said to the audience:
"Now, let's start the second battle of the third round of the Chunin Exam. The two contestants are Hyūga Neji of Wood leaf and Uzumaki Naruto. Hyūga Neji is the descendant of Wood leaf's Hyūga branch family. As the disciple of Wood leaf's special Jonin, Mike Guy, he was recommended to take the Chunin Exam. Uzumaki Naruto is the child of our Wood leaf's Hokage, Minato Watergate. He also had a conspicuous performance in this exam. Now, let's invite the two ninjas to enter the arena! "
Hearing his name being called in the arena, Naruto also jumped to the middle of the arena. On the opposite side of Naruto was Hyūga Neji of Hyūga clan. Like Sasuke, Hyūga Neji also had a cold face, but there was a trace of sadness on his face, like a pitiful person who has seen through the fickleness of the world.
In fact, the two of them have a lot to be introduced by Hayate Gekko, but Neji is a member of the Hyūga branch family. If Hayate Gekko praised Hyūga Neji, it would naturally make the Hyūga clan embarrassed. And Naruto, as the son of Hokage and a member of Nine Tails, Column Force, he can't let Naruto be too famous. Otherwise, Minato Watergate might not be able to hold it in and tear Hayate Gekko apart.
So, the two people who could have been introduced more simply because of various reasons. Naruto and Neji didn't seem to care about Hayate Gekko's simple introduction. Instead, they looked at each other seriously.
Neji's voice was cold as he said to Naruto.
"The last battle was really boring. I think many people hope that the battle between us can be more exciting, but I think they will be disappointed because you will lose faster in front of me than the previous guy with a face full of paint. Although you are the child of Yondaime Hokage, you are destined to lose to me. This is your fate! "
Naruto looked at Neji's mouth. At first, he listened to a few words, but the more Neji talked, the more stupid he became. Naruto felt that it was boring. When he realized that Neji had finished talking, Naruto finally spoke.
"Fate? I really don't believe in fate. I don't want to talk to you about people conquering the heavens, because I don't think you will listen to me even if I talk to you for a long time. So, I just want to beat you up and make you apologize to Hinata! "
In the third exam qualifier, Neji fought against Hyūga Hinata, who came from the Main Family and had a good relationship with Naruto. However, this Hyūga guy with cataracts almost injured Hinata both internally and externally. Even after so long, Hinata still came here to watch the game with bandages all over her body. When Naruto saw the originally delicate Hinata's sickly face, he had a lot of anger in his heart towards this guy named Neji. Since there's anger, it's better to vent it out, right?
When he heard Hinata's name, Neji's eyes also fluctuated. Neji didn't have no feelings for his cousin, but at that time, he was hot-blooded and hurt her. He felt a little guilty. When Naruto said it now, that guilt quietly turned into anger towards Naruto, making Neji want to beat Naruto to the point that he can't take care of himself.
Both of them were angry, and naturally, they were on the verge of exploding. Before Hayate Gekko announced the official start of the exam, the two had already begun to observe each other's movements, ready to attack at any time.
