I'm Just Doing This Because I've Got Nothing Better to Do

On the morning of August 6th, the rising sun was already slightly scorching.

Starting yesterday, nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world have been flocking to Konoha.

These people spend money extravagantly to show off their wealth, completely disregarding the fact that prices in Konoha are much higher than outside, which Hinata finds very enviable.

To be honest, prices and housing costs in Konoha are indeed much higher than in the outside world.

This is a gathering place for ninjas, and it can also be said to be the safest place in the entire Shinobi World.

Since the founding of Konoha, only the Nine-Tails' attack on the village caused Konoha such great losses.

But that was twelve years ago.

However, today...

Inside the venue, Hinata group lined up in a row.

Hinata looked around.

After today's Konoha Crush Plan, Konoha's housing prices may drop significantly. Should we take this opportunity to speculate on real estate?

After careful consideration, Hinata decided to postpone the idea for now.

It's not too late to speculate on real estate after Pain's attack on Konoha is over.

Perhaps we can collaborate with Yamato in the future to develop real estate in the Ninja World.

Yamato provided the technology, Hinata provided the funding...

Naruto looked around but couldn't find Sasuke. He complained somewhat dejectedly, "What's going on? Why isn't Sasuke here yet?"

Hinata casually replied, "Maybe he went off somewhere having a good time with Teacher Kakashi!"

Genma Shiranui stood in front of Hinata and the others, and upon hearing this, a bead of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Kakashi, if you don't get back soon, your reputation in Konoha will be ruined.

Your disciples are badmouthing you behind your back, are you aware of that?

"Stand still, all of you. The match is about to begin, so make sure your faces are facing the audience properly!"

With a Senbon dangling from his mouth, Genma Shiranui said with a touch of cynicism, "The main characters of this competition are you guys!"

With the arrival of the Fourth Kazekage, the match officially began.

Genma Shiranui showed everyone the match list, which was no different from the results of the last draw.

Hinata vs. Naruto, Shikamaru vs. Temari, Sasuke vs. Gaara, Neji vs. Choji.

The winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated.

Upon seeing the match list, Naruto felt a stomachache and pleaded with Hinata with a pained expression, "Hinata, can you please not hit my stomach later... I'll hit my kidneys too, please!"

Hinata considered for a moment, then patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry! We've both grown a lot since graduation, and I'm not a child anymore. I'll go easy on you."

Naruto paused for a moment, then asked with some concern, "Hinata, did you eat enough this morning?"

Hinata: "???"

Hinata initially thought Naruto was going to bribe her with a big meal to go easy on him, but Naruto suddenly said, "Hinata, do you remember the times when you beat Sasuke the worst back in school?"

Hinata shook her head; it had happened too many times, she had forgotten.

Naruto, mimicking Hinata's tone, said in a serious manner, "Sasuke, you come out here! I'm so bored, I'm going to beat you up to digest my food!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, everyone around, including Gaara and Genma Shiranui, unconsciously moved a few steps away from Hinata.

In the Ninja World, there are many reasons to fight and kill, but the reason of "I'm just bored and want to beat you up to digest my food" is something they say they've never heard before.

Temari and Gaara exchanged a glance; this trip to Konoha had truly broadened their horizons.

emmm

Hinata looked at Naruto with a smile and said gently, "Don't worry! I'll be very gentle and won't make you feel any pain."

Genma Shiranui gave a general overview of the rules for the Third Exam, which were actually no different from the Preliminary Selection.

It's either death, surrender, or being stopped by the referee...

"The first round is... Hinata Hyuga versus Naruto Uzumaki."

"You two stay here. The rest of you, please go to the lounge inside the venue to watch the game."

Hinata and Naruto stayed where they were, while the others returned to their respective rest areas.

In the stands, Hyuga Hiashi also brought Hanabi to watch the game.

Although Hyuga Hiashi didn't expect any surprises from the outcome of this match, it was a valuable learning opportunity for Hanabi.

Hyuga Hiashi upright, glanced around, and then said calmly, "Hanabi, your sister is the most perfect genius to date in inheriting the Hyuga Clan bloodline. Watch closely!"

Hanabi is seven years old this year. Influenced by Hyuga Hiashi, she has become like a little adult, nodding expressionlessly and saying calmly, "Yes! Father!"

Hanabi only acts like a cute little girl when she goes to sleep in Hinata's room at night.

Off the field, Hinata and Naruto stood facing each other.

The official match was about to begin, and Naruto stopped joking and said seriously, "Hinata, I didn't expect we would be the first to face off."

"I've been training really hard this past month. Hinata, you better watch out, don't accidentally lose to me and then hide away and cry!"

Hinata pouted and said defiantly, "I didn't try as hard as you!"

"Genius!"

"I hope you can erase all my efforts with the word 'genius.' I'm someone who can become strong just by lying down!"

Seeing that Hinata and Naruto were ready for battle, Genma Shiranui didn't delay and suddenly swung his hand—

"Round 1 of the match... Begin!"

Naruto knew Hinata's techniques; he knew he absolutely couldn't defeat Hinata using only Taijutsu.

Genma Shiranui finished speaking, Naruto immediately tried to Hand Seals.

However, Hinata moved faster than Naruto.

Before Naruto could even create a clone, Hinata's figure was already close to Naruto.

"Eight Trigrams - Sixty-Four Palms!"

'Bang bang bang...'

Hinata first injured Naruto with Gentle Fist, then switched to pressure point techniques, instantly sealing most of the pressure points on Naruto's body.

After the final blow, Naruto was sent flying backward in a disheveled state, coughing up blood, and crashing to the ground a considerable distance away.

When fighting Naruto who is practically invincible, you should never try to wear him down by exhausting him. Instead, you should go all out from the start and beat him so badly that he can't get up again.

Of course, the most important thing is that you must never use words to provoke him.

Because if you provoke him, he might have a breakout.

The audience in the surrounding stands stared blankly at the scene before them, the entire stadium was silent, as if they could not believe that the first match was over so quickly!

I want a refund!

Damn it! What a rip-off! It wasn't worth the ticket price at all!

Hinata said with a smile, "Naruto, I'm sorry, it seems I won."

Naruto gritted his teeth and tried to stand up.

However, his internal organs were injured and most of his acupoints were sealed, so he couldn't even get up, let alone gather Chakra.
