"Since Senior Kabuto Yakushi put it that way,"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. There really are some things I'd like to ask Senior Kabuto Yakushi to help me with." Naruto wore a brilliant smile.
"Please, go ahead," Kabuto Yakushi said politely.
He wanted nothing more than to finish helping Naruto and go report to Lord Orochimaru. Being around Naruto put him under enormous pressure, as though a mountain were constantly weighing down on him.
"However, before I ask Senior Kabuto Yakushi for help, there's something I'd like to ask you first." Naruto looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said, "Becoming a Chunin is every ninja's honor, right? Even if, as the examiner said, we have to fight for our lives and there may be casualties, I don't think that should be Senior Kabuto Yakushi's reason for withdrawing."
"Then, Senior Kabuto Yakushi, why did you withdraw from the exam?"
"Why did you choose to give up this chance at honor? I'm still very curious about that."
"Sorry, Naruto," Kabuto Yakushi said. "Becoming a Chunin is indeed the dream and honor of us Genin. But I was injured during the earlier exams. Given my current condition, I'm afraid I can't continue this exam."
"Is that so?" Naruto looked at Kabuto Yakushi. Indeed, from his appearance, Kabuto Yakushi looked as if he had been through many battles. He looked rather disheveled.
Fortunately, Naruto judged his friends by their looks. There were no wounds on Kabuto Yakushi's face, so it wouldn't interfere with Naruto becoming friends with him. Once he figured that out, he stopped dwelling on Kabuto Yakushi withdrawing from the Chunin Exams and said, "I completely understand Senior Kabuto Yakushi's choice."
"Alright, I'm done asking questions. Now, Senior Kabuto Yakushi, please be my friend." Naruto said this with a smile.
"That's all?"
