You Passed

The scene shifts, and Nawaki and Sasuke are tied to a stake, while Naruto lies on the ground, his legs in the air.

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Naruto finally regain consciousness, thinking to himself:

"I thought this guy was going to be beaten to death. To take such a lightning elbow and recover so quickly is really incredible."

Nawaki, still clinging to the stump, looked impatient. Seeing Naruto's limbs begin to move, he excitedly exclaimed, "Naruto, get up! Naruto, I'm your uncle! Don't give up! You can still fight! You can do it! You're going to become the Seventh Hokage! Keep going!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately opened his eyes, his face contorted with rage, his gaze darting around wildly. He roared furiously:

"Aaaaaah, Uchiha Kun- sensei, you just Lightning Elbow! My stomach is going to split open! That's outrageous!"

Sasuke, seeing Naruto yelling and shouting, darkened his face and said, "Big Idiot Naruto, stop yelling. Uchiha Kun isn't here. Hurry up and untie us."

Nawaki was also there shouting, "Yes, yes, nephew, quickly help your uncle untie the rope, let's fight side by side!"

Just as Naruto was about to stand up, he realized his stomach was growling loudly, and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse to the ground, panting.

Ha ha ha ha,"

Naruto had been fighting on an empty stomach and had released so much Chakra that his stomach was at its limit, his limbs were starting to feel weak, and he was almost paralyzed.

Sasuke's stomach also started growling; it had reached its limit.

Sasuke's face darkened, and he said weakly, "I have no strength left. I'm going to fail this exam."

Seeing that Sasuke about to give up, Nawaki shouted with a serious expression, "No! We've come this far, how can we give up? If the three of us work together, maybe we can succeed!"

Sasuke looked at Nawaki's resolute expression and was immediately shocked. He said in great surprise, "But we're out of strength, and our Chakra is almost depleted. If we don't get food soon, we'll starve to death."

Naruto immediately raised his head and shouted with great difficulty, "If there's no food, we'll find a way to get food; if there's no Chakra, we'll refine Chakra. We've come this far, how can we give up so easily?"

Sasuke was deeply moved by Naruto's unwavering strength, and thought to himself, "Is this really the Naruto I know? He always seems a bit silly, but he's always been so strong, and he never gives up on his dreams."

Immediately afterward, Sasuke nodded and said with a serious expression:

"I agree with you. The most important thing right now is to put us down, and then we'll figure out how to get food. We have twenty minutes left. If we can grab Uchiha Kun's scallion pancakes within these twenty minutes, we can graduate."

Naruto took a deep breath, staggered to his feet, and weakly shouted, "I'll untie you right now!"

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kun, hiding to the side, monitored their every move. He observed that all three were at their physical limits, yet they were still preparing to continue fighting.

Uchiha Kun said with a smile, "They've already grasped the meaning of unity and mutual assistance. In that case, I'll give them a little push and let them know what true camaraderie is."

After saying that, Uchiha Kun took a scallion pancake out of his pocket, threw it into the air like Shuriken, and it spun several times before flying rapidly towards Naruto.

Naruto, who was still untying the ropes, let out a scream as if he had been hit on the head with a rock:

"Ouch! Who hit me on the head? The bump on my head hasn't gone down yet! Don't you people have any sense of public decency?"

Nawaki looked at Naruto's head and saw a scallion pancake on it. He laughed and shouted, "Nephew! You have a scallion pancake on your head! It's raining scallion pancakes from the sky! This is wonderful!"

Sasuke, seeing the scallion pancake on Naruto's head, was also very excited and immediately shouted, "Quickly give each of us a bite, so we'll have the energy to recover our Chakra!"

Naruto grabbed the scallion pancake from his head and shouted excitedly, "Can you throw me a few more? I love catching scallion pancakes with my head!"

Sasuke looked around and, finding the training ground empty, said with a serious expression, "This might be the only place left."

Naruto looked at the thin scallion pancake, tore it into three pieces with force, stuffed the smallest piece into his mouth, and swallowed it without even chewing it.

With a soft "oh," Naruto felt some of his strength return, and then fed one of the remaining two pieces to Sasuke and the other to Nawaki.

After taking a bite, both of them looked completely satisfied, exclaiming, "This scallion pancake is simply the best food in the world!"

Sasuke felt his strength return and said seriously, "This time we need to devise a strategy to break through Susanoo's defenses."

After untying the ropes binding the two, Naruto plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and asked with a puzzled look, "I just used so many Shadow Clones, how did Uchiha Kun find my real body?"

Sasuke pointed at Naruto's head and said seriously, "You have a bump on your head, but your Shadow Clone doesn't. He recognized you through your head."

Nawaki was also quite surprised and said, "Then how was I discovered just now?"

Sasuke, seeing Nawaki's puzzled Nawaki, explained directly, "While you were talking to Naruto, you were targeted by Uchiha Kun Genjutsu, and the Genjutsu was activated without you even noticing."

Just then, a bolt of lightning shot out from the center of the training ground, crackling and hissing. From the center of the lightning, a figure emerged.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Nawaki, seeing the bolt of lightning, were all on high alert, shouting, "Everyone, get ready!"

Uchiha Kun said with a serious expression, "Are you three ready?"

Nawaki raised his head, looked up at the sky, and said arrogantly, "Of course we're prepared. I won't fall for Genjutsu this time."

Naruto covered his head with both hands and said excitedly, "You'll never see my head again!"

Sasuke drew his Flying Thunder God Kunai again, looking ready for battle. He activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and said seriously, "This time we will definitely defeat you and make your defeat known!"

Uchiha Kun immediately started clapping, bang bang bang, bang bang bang, and said with a smile, "You three have passed."
