First Encounter with Naruto

Iruka continued, "You indirectly did me a great favor today."

"Could it be that Iruka-sensei and that bald guy had a past?"

Iruka nodded, "My parents died over a decade ago. When I was still a Genin, I suffered a lot of bullying from him. After I became a Chunin, he didn't dare to bully me anymore, but my position made it difficult for me to cause trouble for him."

Ye Lan nodded in understanding.

The two walked for a while and then separated at an intersection. Ye Lan returned to his room, lay on the bed, and recalled the events of the day. He still felt like he was living in a dream. When he first arrived in Konoha Village, he thought he was dreaming.

Now that he had completely crushed Danzo, he was somewhat afraid that he would wake up from the dream.

He liked this feeling of being high above.

Thinking about it, Ye Lan fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Ye Lan woke up early, before dawn. He always woke up early. Ye Lan pushed open the window, and fresh air rushed in. Ye Lan took a deep breath, instantly feeling more awake.

Ye Lan shrank back slightly. It was early spring, and it was still a bit cold in the morning.

Ye Lan looked out the window, smiled softly, then washed up, went downstairs, and headed towards the forest.

Today was the day he had agreed with Kakashi for the exam.

Ye Lan walked for a while, reached the forest, and arrived at the exam location. Ye Lan was standing next to a small stream. Ye Lan had never been here before, but everything here felt so familiar.

Ye Lan waited for a while, and a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Sakura! Wait for me! Don't walk with Sasuke!"

Ye Lan turned his head and looked back, and saw three figures. The three were the future Sannin of Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke walked in the front, his hands in his pockets. If you were to describe his current appearance, it would be a proud peacock.

Sakura followed beside Sasuke with a flattering expression. She had always been in love with Sasuke.

Naruto followed behind Sakura, looking at Sakura and Sasuke with a displeased expression. He probably disliked seeing Sakura and Sasuke too close.

Ye Lan couldn't help but smile at this scene.

Naruto Uzumaki seemed to be the most miserable one, but in fact, he was the ultimate winner. Only he got the first kiss of both Sasuke and Sakura!

Ye Lan took the initiative to walk up to them, and then took the initiative to greet them: "Hello! How are you!"

Sasuke, unsurprisingly, looked at Ye Lan with a cold expression, without saying a word.

Naruto walked up to Ye Lan and said with a puzzled expression, "Who are you? Why hasn't Kakashi-sensei come yet?"

Ye Lan smiled, "My name is Ye Lan. I just arrived in Konoha Village not long ago. From now on, I am a member of Team 7. Today, Kakashi-sensei asked me to take the exam with you."

Ye Lan extended his hand, "Please take care of me."

Naruto was stunned for a moment. When he heard that he was also here to take the exam, he immediately shook Ye Lan's hand.

"Haha, um, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. My favorite thing is eating Ichiraku Ramen, and my favorite person is..."

Naruto turned his head to look at Sakura, but Sakura didn't even look at him.

Naruto smiled awkwardly, and then said, "I'm a man who aspires to be Hokage, and in the near future, I will become the Sixth Hokage!"

Ye Lan smiled, "Then I wish you success."

Sakura said at this time, "Um, Lan, you said you're not from Konoha Village, so where are you from?"

Ye Lan said, "I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time. Anyway, I came from a very far place called the Central Plains. But now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's prepare for Kakashi-sensei's test together."
