A Spectacular Entrance! The Toad Knight

"Besides, Shinki has the Flying Thunder God; if he couldn't get to the venue on time, he probably overslept..."

The facts were exactly as Kakashi had guessed.

After spending more than twenty days on Mount Myōboku, Shinki and Naruto completely forgot that today was the day of the Chunin Ninja Exams!

Finally, Jiraiya suddenly remembered this and quickly reminded the two that it was time to go back to the village for the exam.

But when it was time to go home, they encountered a problem.

"How do we get back now?" Naruto asked.

"Undoing the Reverse Summoning Technique won't work; we've taken too long to get here," Jiraiya said.

"What should we do? Are we supposed to walk back with Shinki?!"

Naruto's eyes widened.

"Don't panic."

Shinki stepped forward at this moment.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to Mount Myōboku, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to return.

You should know that he has placed Flying Thunder God Mark all over Konoha!

After saying that, he grabbed Naruto and Jiraiya and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In an instant, the three were back on the outskirts of Konoha.

Naruto glanced at the time and said, "Did you Flying Thunder God Mark at the exam venue? The exam should have already started; we need to get there right away."

Who would remember that?

The Shinki remained silent.

"Huh? It'll take at least ten minutes to run from here to the exam venue!" Naruto said in despair.

"Did you two just learn Summoning Technique? If a Mount Myōboku Toad helped you, you could jump over there in a couple of leaps."

Jiraiya looked at the two anxious people and said happily.

He's been Chunin for many years now, and he enjoys watching these young people worry about their exams!

Shinki slapped his forehead. "How could I not have thought of that!"

After saying that, Shinki formed hand seals. "Summoning Technique!"

"Whoa!!"

The gigantic Gamabunta was summoned by the Shinki!

Gamabunta, pipe in hand, glanced at Shinki and said with an air of authority, "What's wrong, Shinki? You've just returned to Konoha and you're already summoning me so impatiently."

"I don't have time to explain, I'm going to be late for my exam. Could you take me to the exam venue?" Shinki asked.

Gamabunta nodded. "Come on up."

Naruto, standing nearby, looked on with envy as he saw Shinki summon such a majestic Gamabunta.

I want to try it too!

After saying that, Naruto imitated Shinki by forming hand seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

"Whoosh!"

A cloud of smoke burst forth!

A Toad the size of a water glass appeared in the smoke!

Naruto: (°ー°)

The difference is just too huge!

Beside him, the little Toad that Naruto summoned looked dazed, its entire body covered in yellow skin, and it seemed somewhat bewildered after being summoned.

Then, it looked up and saw Gamabunta not far away, and excitedly shouted, "Dad!"

Gamabunta tilted his head. "Gamatatsu? What are you doing here?!"

"It seems he was summoned by this blond brat using Summoning Technique," Gamatatsu said, pointing to Naruto Uzumaki beside him.

"Kid, your Summoning Technique isn't up to par."

Gamabunta glanced at his son, then at Naruto looked embarrassed beside him.

"Come on up."

After Naruto climbed onto Gamabunta's head, Shinki and Naruto immediately rode this cool Summoned Beast Toad, the toad, and moved quickly through Konoha!

The Chunin Ninja Exams venue.

Temari Shikamaru.

I battle Shino Tenten, Shino wins.

Sasuke fought against the Rain Ninja, Sasuke won.

After the three matches were completed, it was Shinki and Naruto's turn to take the stage.

However, the two of them did not appear for a long time.

The spectators on both sides of the Arena were getting anxious.

"There are still two people left, why haven't they arrived yet!"

"I came here specifically to see the Red-Haired Kid from Konoha! Wasn't he supposed to be the next Yellow Flash? Why is he too scared to go on stage now?!"

"Does a Ninja even deserve to be called Ninja?! Let's just disqualify them all!"

Faced with the dissatisfaction of many viewers, Genma Shiranui, the chief examiner, stood helplessly on the Arena.

He also wanted to declare the two boys disqualified from the competition, because they had wasted too much time.

But orders came from the Hokage's side, saying they could wait another ten minutes.

"Only ten minutes left. If you don't come soon, this Chunin Ninja Exams will be over."

Sasuke rarely showed a look of anxiety.

After a month of arduous training, he really wanted to meet Shinki in the Arena!

"Sigh, I guess I really can't make it."

Kakashi glanced at the time, then shrugged and said...

Just then, some spectators suddenly noticed a huge black shadow appearing in the sky!!

"Look, what's appearing in the sky!"

"That looks like Toad! A huge Toad!"

"The Toad flew up into the sky!! ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!"

Are all Toads these days working this hard to get their hands on swan meat?!

Who says Toad has to work hard to eat swan meat?!

"Stop talking nonsense, you nitpicker! That Toad looks like it's falling towards us!!"

Amidst the horrified cries of the audience, Gamabunta landed on the ground carrying the Shinki and Naruto!

"Boom!!"

The enormous Toad -like body crashed down, kicking up clouds of dust on the Arena!

As the smoke cleared, Naruto and Shinki, standing atop the Toad's head, were revealed!

The audience was stunned by this impressive entrance.

"Arriving riding Toad?!"

Are Examinee this serious these days?!

"Seriously, this Toad is so cool! It's huge, has a pipe in its mouth, a knife at its waist, and Toad's even wearing clothes!"

"That red-haired handsome guy on the Toad's head must be Shinki, right? You can tell at a glance that he's someone who combines good looks and strength!"

Sasuke's eyes lit up immediately. "They didn't disappoint me!"

Kakashi covered his face and said, "What a troublesome pair!"

On the highest platform, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, these two kids arrived in time, otherwise all the Daimyo and Hokage who came today would have been disappointed.

After all, a significant portion of the people here today are there for Sasuke Uchiha and Kamiki, who inherited the Flying Thunder God Technique Shinki.

The Kazekage beside Hiruzen Sarutobi subtly licked his lips and muttered, "He actually summoned Toad, and it's Gamabunta the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya."

"This kid actually managed to gain the approval of the proud Gamabunta... It was definitely worth the wait."

"Gamabunta, you should go back now."

After his high-profile appearance, Shinki dispelled the Summoning Technique, Gamabunta disappeared.

Upon landing, Shinki surveyed the competition venue.

It seems that because Orochimaru appeared in the Second Exam, there are especially many guards this time.

Moreover, there were many Anbu scattered throughout the area, and Shinki even spotted Yamato not far from the Hokage.

Not far in front of the two people.

Genma Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you two have arrived in time, the match will proceed as scheduled."

The examiner Genma Shiranui Naruto said, "The next match will be between Naruto Uzumaki Neji Hyuga!!"
