Iruka-sensei's Test! A Bashful Tenten
"My name is Gaara. I'm very interested in you."
At Gaara's words, Shinki froze for a moment.
Damn, what did he mean, he was very interested in me?
How weird!
As a thoroughly straight man, Shinki immediately put on a look of disgust. "Don't. I'm not into that, so please don't be interested in me."
Gaara frowned, and the aura around him suddenly turned fierce!
Temari and Kankuro, who stood beside him, hurriedly took two frightened steps back, their eyelids twitching wildly and their bodies tensing up.
They knew that look meant Gaara was unhappy!!
Was he going to attack???
Was Gaara going to attack that red-haired brat right here?!!
Shinki was quick to notice the change in the Chakra around Gaara.
Was this guy going to force himself on me in broad daylight, with everyone watching?
Even so, Shinki wasn't afraid.
Even if Gaara forced himself on him, he couldn't turn him gay.
So he raised a hand and slowly shielded Konohamaru behind him, looking utterly fearless. This was Konoha's territory, after all!
Gaara stared straight at Shinki, but he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation in Shinki's eyes!
The other boy's eyes were like the gentle sun, showing neither joy nor sorrow, and full of warmth.
In a word, steady!!
This greatly surprised Gaara.
In the end, Gaara said, "Let's go."
With that, he turned and left.
Temari and Kankuro hurried after him.
Only when the three Sand Ninja had gone far away did Konohamaru cautiously poke his head out from behind Shinki and ask, still shaken, "Shinki, who were they?"
Shinki thought for a moment, then explained, "They should be Ninja from the neighboring Land of Wind, here to take the Chunin Ninja Exams. Don't be scared. They've already left."
Konohamaru looked worried. "Shinki, they're so scary ꒦ິ^꒦ິ. Since they're here to take the Ninja exams too, will you run into them during the exams?"
"Even if I do, it'll be fine. I've never been afraid."
Shinki said with a rare display of confidence.
When facing Ninja from his own village, he could be meek and timid.
But when facing Ninja from other villages, he struck hard!!!
"All right, enough talk. I need to hurry and make dinner."
After gently reassuring Konohamaru, Shinki prepared to go buy groceries.
Just then!
A Ninja wearing a conical hat suddenly appeared and, in a flash, scooped up Konohamaru from Shinki's side.
The Ninja jumped onto Konoha's rooftops and darted swiftly across them, his feet barely touching the tiles.
He was incredibly fast, fleeing a great distance in an instant.
But as Shinki watched the unfamiliar Ninja carry Konohamaru away, he showed no concern. Instead, he looked helpless.
Because he found the other person's Chakra very familiar.
A few minutes later, the mysterious Hat-Wearing Ninja brought Konohamaru to a secluded grove outside the village.
Dangling from the Ninja's hand, Konohamaru struggled and kicked with all his might.
The Ninja immediately said to the fierce-looking Konohamaru, "Hey, brat, behave yourself, or I'll kill you! ╰_╯"
Konohamaru instantly became obedient and quiet. All he could do now was pray that Shinki would hurry and save him.
The next moment, Shinki used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport there.
The Hat-Wearing Ninja began his performance. "Kid, I'm a spy from another village. If you know what's good for you, hand over Konoha's Scroll of Seals, or I'll kill this little guy!"
As he spoke, he held Konohamaru high in one hand.
Shinki spread his hands ┐(´-｀)┌. "Iruka-sensei, stop pretending."
"..."
Several drops of cold sweat immediately trickled down the Hat-Wearing Ninja's masked face, but he stubbornly replied, "Brat, what are you talking about? Iruka? I don't know him!"
Shinki said, "(||๐_๐) Sensei, you've already been exposed, so stop pretending. The Chakra fluctuations coming from you are clearly yours, Iruka-sensei."
Hat-Wearing Ninja: ...눈_눈...
Damn, crap. I forgot how sensitive Shinki is to Chakra.
I actually forgot to conceal my Chakra fluctuations when I used the Transformation Technique.
What a mistake!!
The next second, with a poof, a cloud of smoke burst around the Hat-Wearing Ninja, and he changed back into Iruka-sensei.
Iruka-sensei laughed awkwardly. "Ahahaha, you saw right through me, Shinki. Looks like you really grew a lot during your time away training."
Shinki said, "...Sensei, you were just bad at disguising yourself."
Iruka: "..."
(ー_ー)!!
Hey, don't point out your teacher's shortcomings so mercilessly!
You're making your teacher lose face!
"Iruka-sensei, why did you transform and grab me? Were you playing some kind of game with Shinki?" Konohamaru asked, puzzled, after Iruka put him down.
"No. Kakashi rashly entered your names for the Chunin Ninja Exams, and I was worried, so I wanted to test you."
Iruka explained, "As it turns out, Shinki really is qualified to take the Chunin Ninja Exams now."
Pride appeared in Iruka's eyes as he continued, "Shinki, you've grown so fast."
"You flatter me, Iruka-sensei."
Shinki replied modestly.
A puzzled expression appeared on Iruka's face, and he continued, "But what was that Ninjutsu you just used to track us? You suddenly appeared behind Konohamaru."
Shinki explained, "It's a Ninjutsu I figured out for traveling or moving things. Kakashi-sensei said it's called the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Iruka: (*´◐∀◐`*)
Flying Thunder God!!!
A Ninjutsu he figured out for traveling or moving things???!!
"Shinki, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Iruka asked cautiously.
"Sensei, I never lie."
Shinki answered seriously.
Iruka: (´இ皿இ｀)
He knew all too well what the Flying Thunder God meant.
Back during the Third Shinobi World War, Iruka had probably been a little younger than Shinki was now.
He had seen the Fourth Hokage use the Flying Thunder God Technique with his own eyes, darting through enemy Ninja and killing them before they could react!
Iruka had already come to understand how terrifying Shinki's comprehension was, so although he was shocked to learn that Shinki had actually figured out the Flying Thunder God, he quickly concealed it.
"You've done well, Shinki. The Chunin Ninja Exams are almost here, so keep working hard."
"Don't worry, Sensei. I haven't slacked off for a single moment."
Shinki promised.
After a few more brief exchanges, Iruka-sensei said he would treat Shinki and Naruto to ramen that evening.
Shinki nodded in agreement.
Afterward, the two parted ways, and Shinki returned to the village to buy groceries.
After testing Shinki, Iruka still had to rush off and test the other Ninja from the class he had taught.
The Chunin Ninja Exams were extremely dangerous. After the exams, many would find it difficult to ever be Ninja again, and some would even lose their lives.
So, like an old father, Iruka had to see these children's growth for himself before he could let them take the exams.
Before long, it was two days before the exams, the day to submit their application files.
The three members of Team 7 arrived outside the Ninja Academy, each carrying his own file.
Kakashi-sensei had told them beforehand that the files were to be submitted in Room 301 at the Ninja Academy.
But as soon as Shinki entered the school, he noticed something unusual about the Chakra fluctuations around him.
When they climbed to the third floor, they found two fierce-looking examinees blocking the door to Room 301, seemingly stopping people from submitting their files.
"The Chunin Ninja Exams are extremely dangerous. I advise you to hurry home, or you might lose your lives the moment you let your guard down during the exams."
As he spoke, one of the Ninja blocking the door, who wore a bandanna, shoved away a girl who was trying to enter.
The girl cried out and fell backward.
At that moment, Shinki reached out just in time and caught the falling girl by the waist...
The girl, Tenten, looked up and met Shinki's clear eyes...
Azhen fell in love with Aqiang~~
