Creating Elf Jinchuriki in Konoha, Causing Mayhem

If he doesn't give up, maybe I'll be on the same team as him!

Oh my~

If Sasuke is on my left and Bai Hao is on my right...

Wow!

So happy!"

"Get lost!"

Just as Sakura was lost in thought.

Sasuke lightly squeezed the stone in his hand, crushing it into powder.

At the same time, he said with a detached expression.

"Tch~"

Before Kankuro could react, Naruto from the side disdainfully spoke up.

"The Eternal Number Two is showing off again!"

At the same time, he was roaring madly in his heart.

"Damn Sasuke!

Why do you always steal the spotlight like this!?"

"Eternal Number Two?"

Kankuro froze for a moment, then looked up at Sasuke.

"Hey!

Get down here, Eternal Number Two.

I hate brats like you who only talk big."

As he spoke, he lowered the puppet on his back.

"……"

Sasuke's face darkened.

Eternal Number Two, that nickname was his eternal nightmare.

The thought made him think of the man who always kept him suppressed.

"Hmph~"

Sasuke snorted coldly, "Please don't compare me to someone who gave up on being a ninja."

"Kankuro, stop."

Just as the atmosphere between the two became tense.

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

"You're embarrassing the village."

Then, everyone saw a black-eyed boy carrying a gourd, standing upside down on a branch next to Sasuke!

"I… I'm Gaara…"

Kankuro glanced nervously at Gaara.

However, Gaara didn't seem to care.

He glanced casually at Sasuke.

Then he continued, "Do you think we came all the way to Konoha for no reason?"

"L-Listen…

Gaara…

These guys started it!"

"Shut up.

Talk again, and I'll kill you."

"U-Understood…

Sorry…

Really sorry…"

Kankuro quickly apologized, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"I'm truly sorry to you all."

Gaara didn't look at Kankuro, but turned to Sasuke instead.

After saying that.

He stared at Sasuke for a while longer.

"Someone this strong is just the Eternal Number Two?

Now I'm suddenly interested in the upcoming battle..."

With that thought, Gaara jumped down directly.

"Let's go, we're not here to play around."

"Wait!"

Sakura suddenly called out to the three of them.

"You're from Sunagakure, aren't you?

What are you doing here?"

After a period of exchange.

Naruto and the other two finally learned that Konoha was about to start the Chunin Exams.

And Gaara and the other two were Genin participating in the exams.

After learning this news.

The three of them, with complicated feelings, came to Bai Hao's bookstore together.

"Bai Hao!"

Naruto ran in carelessly, "Um~ um~

There are a lot of strange people in the village!

They say they're here to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Do you want to participate?"

"Naruto!"

Sakura hit Naruto's head with a "duang," leaving a large bump.

She instantly went from a berserk state to a fangirl state.

Blushing, she shyly picked up the broom.

"Um...

Bai Hao-kun~~

We're here to help you clean!"

"Thanks~"

Bai Hao glanced at Sakura.

He knew why she reacted so strongly.

Because after graduating, he gave up on being a ninja, using the excuse of missing his parents and not wanting to abandon the bookstore they left behind.

The top student of the Ninja Academy gave up being a ninja just like that.

In Sakura's eyes, this was a very painful thing.

So.

Sakura was afraid that Naruto's mention of the "Chunin Exams" would trigger him.

Thus, she forcibly changed the subject.

But in reality.

The reason he gave up being a ninja.

Was simply because he didn't want to do boring tasks like finding cats and dogs or running errands.

"Um~ um~"

Naruto, like a simpleton, quickly forgot about the bump on his head.

"Sakura, wait for me!"

When the entire village detested Naruto, only Bai Hao was very friendly to him.

He even gave him delicious food from time to time.

Therefore, Naruto also greatly recognized Bai Hao as a "good friend."

He always worked hard when he came to help.

"Hmph~"

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and let out a soft snort.

Then he slowly walked into the bookstore.

With one hand in his pocket, he started organizing the bookshelves.

Bai Hao watched the three of them work expressionlessly.

He was actually quite used to this scene.

The three of them had often come to help like this even before they graduated.

"I wonder if Karin can complete my mission successfully."

Gazing at Sasuke's neck, Bai Hao fell into thought.

Naruto and the other two quickly finished their work.

Bai Hao treated them to a meal with instant noodles, snacks, and drinks he had obtained from the system.

After eating, they left.

And not long after they departed.

Hinata ran over alone.

"Bai Hao-kun!"

Hinata's face was flushed, and she was panting.

It was clear she had run all the way here.

"Kurenai...

Kurenai-sensei...

registered us...

to participate in the Chunin Exams...

I..."

"Don't have confidence?"

Seeing her stammering, Bai Hao took the initiative to speak: "Then do you want to become stronger?"
