P. S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day to all my readers! Xiao Ye love to hear your subscriptions! Thank you all!
In the blink of an eye.
Naruto smiled and released Kankuro's arm, which he had been holding tightly, and even took two steps back to show his sincerity.
"Well, since it's a misunderstanding, let's clear it up. After all, this is Konoha, so everyone should be more careful. Otherwise, even a small skirmish could lead to an unnecessary battle, don't you two agree?"
Naruto's words carried a slight hint of warning.
This also made Temari and Kankuro's expressions less pleasant.
But I'll say it again.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Besides, what the other side said wasn't wrong.
This is Konoha after all, not their Sunagakure.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I think our Sand Ninja friends over there can come out now, right? Otherwise, I might think you're planning to take action?"
Before Temari and Kankuro could say anything...
On the front side.
Naruto tilted his head slightly, looking directly at the words falling softly from the shadows of the large tree on the other side.
"No, I didn't mean that. It was indeed our people who were rude first this time, and I apologize again."
There was also another rather sinister voice coming from the shadows, followed by a figure exuding a menacing aura.
The iconic large gourd he carries on his back.
The prominent scarlet 'love' character on his forehead, the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and the cold, ruthless pupils.
Let's not even mention those three brats Konohamaru.
Temari and Kankuro's expressions changed drastically. Kankuro, who had been fearless before, looked at the newcomer's expressionless face, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He even started to stutter.
"I... Gaara? No... no, I just..."
"Shut up! Or I'll kill you!"
The figure that appeared.
This is Sunagakure, the Gaara of the One-Tail Jinchuriki, whom Naruto had wanted to meet, and who can also be considered an important part of this world!
Gaara emerged from the shadows.
That cold gaze, that indifferent expression.
All of this intensified the fear on Kankuro's face.
Only at that moment.
Kankuro immediately shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word.
Temari beside him, seemed to want to say something.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Even though the three of them are siblings.
At present.
The blood ties between them are an ironic situation.
At least Temari and Kankuro when facing Gaara.
It's like facing a master who can control your life and death at any time.
I dared not raise any questions or say anything more.
"Well, since that's how it is, let's just assume it is!"
Naruto stared intently at Gaara in front of him.
Even though Gaara looks so terrifying right now.
But regardless of individual ability.
Naruto, who already possessed an absolute advantage with all the Tailed Beast within him, was merely curious about Gaara.
What Naruto wanted to see was whether this One-Tail Jinchuriki could become an asset in his future plans.
If not.
It needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
The power of a single Tailed Beast.
There's no point in acknowledging the existence of those bugs.
However, if facing an ordinary Ninja, even a relatively strong Kage Level.
They all possess extremely strong deterrent power.
If it's possible.
Naruto wouldn't mind competing with the Akatsuki for "business"!
This is also one of the best ways for Naruto to quickly increase his power.
"Although you were allowed to enter the village, you must have received permission, but I'll still ask as a formality: what is your purpose in coming to Konoha as Sand Ninja?"
Naruto maintained a calm expression, looking at Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari in front of him, and spoke without any fear.
"Even if you are allies, without special regulations or an invitation, you should not be qualified to enter Konoha!"
Hearing Naruto's question.
None of the three people in front of them showed any unusual expression.
When they arrived at their village, they saw a strange Ninja from another village.
They'll definitely have to question them.
Most importantly, this also shows that the young Konoha ninja in front of him is definitely not weak. His confident appearance is the best proof. He is either confident or a complete idiot. Naruto doesn't seem like an idiot at all, so it can only be the former. Gaara's interest in Naruto has obviously become stronger, and a bright glint has appeared in his eyes as he looks in Naruto's direction.
"We Sand Ninja have come to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams. This exam is hosted by your Konoha, so naturally, eligible Ninja from all villages have received invitations to come to Konoha. We have official invitations! As a Konoha Ninja, haven't you heard of this?"
Temari at Gaara, and seeing that he showed no unusual expression, she composed herself, pulled out the Chunin Ninja Exams invitation from her pocket, and said to Naruto.
" The Chunin Ninja Exams? I see."
Naruto raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded gently.
That last vestige of doubt was finally dispelled.
"No, I only became Ninja this year, so I don't know much about this. My squad leader hasn't told me yet. But since I have an invitation, I'll leave it at that. However, I still want to remind everyone to be mindful of their words and actions while in Konoha."
Naruto chuckled softly, speaking his mind directly.
Instead, it caused Temari and Kankuro in front of them to suddenly shrink their pupils.
Did he just graduate and become Ninja this year?
This guy?
Do they really have that kind of strength?
Temari and Kankuro both stared at Naruto with incredulous expressions.
The hint of interest deep within Gaara's eyes intensified even further.
Immediately afterwards.
Before Gaara was about to leave with Kankuro and Temari, he paused slightly, turned to look at Naruto, and asked softly.
"I'm very interested in you. What's your name?"
"Shouldn't you state your own name first before asking someone else's name, Sand Ninja!"
Naruto directly countered with a question about what he had said.
After a slight pause, Gaara, amidst the horrified expressions of Kankuro and Temari, revealed a sinister smile.
"My name is Gaara of the Sand!"
" Gaara? Hmm, I'll remember your name. My name is Naruto Uzumaki!"
Naruto nodded and gave his name as well.
" Naruto Uzumaki? I'm really looking forward to fighting you!"
Gaara gave Naruto one last deep look, left those words, and then, along with Kankuro and Temari, turned and left without hesitation, heading back towards the encampment that Konoha had prepared for their ninja village.
Temari and Kankuro, who were following on the other side, gave Naruto a deep look before leaving, especially Temari, whose expression showed both fear and admiration.
After all, this was the first time Temari had seen a boy of her age who possessed both such talent and good looks.
Naruto completely ignored Temari and Kankuro, only watching Gaara's departing figure, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
