?"Hinata?"
Neji blurted out in surprise. The Byakugan girl who suddenly appeared next to her was Hinata Hyuga who had just returned from Team 8 actual combat training.
"Brother Yu, why are you here?"
It was still a weak and timid voice. Seeing that Yu, who had shocked almost all the ninjas in Konoha yesterday, was actually staying with his cousin Neji, Hinata opened his eyes slightly in surprise Byakugan.
"It's Hinata..."
For Yu, who has the ability to perceive Observation Haki, the appearance of Hinata does not surprise him. What makes him a little surprised is the attitude of Neji towards Hinata.
It seems that after the Cloud Ninja incident was changed by himself, since Hizashi Hyuga did not become Hyuga Main Family's scapegoat, Neji did not become the original one. In the plot, Hinata is so hateful and resentful, but he often meets up with Gentle Fist who practices Hyuga Clan together. Seeing that the brother and sister are in harmony, this is something that makes Yu feel very gratified.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you two brothers and sisters to continue practicing!!"
After a lingering night in Wushan with Hong last night, Yu, who had just gotten up this evening, passed by the Hyuga Clan. Observation Haki happened to notice Neji who was practicing here, so he came over on a whim to have a look. Now that he saw Hinata coming, he didn't intend to disturb their practice.
Air Door!!
After the words fell, Yu waved his hand to remove the seal and the sharp thin threads that penetrated the main meridians of Neji's body and regained his ability to move. Then he controlled World King to open a door to a different space beside him and planned to step in and leave.
"Oh yes..."
Just before leaving, Yu seemed to suddenly remember something. His eyes fell on Hinata next to him, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Little Hinata, I think long hair may suit you better..."
Indeed, compared to the current shy girl Hinata with short bangs, Yu felt that the long and straight black Hinata in Naruto the movie "The Last" was her true peak of beauty, so she made such a suggestion on a whim.
"Long... long hair?!"
Seeing Yu who was about to leave, his eyes suddenly fell on him. The shy and introverted Hinata suddenly felt nervous. He poked two fingers together and drew circles on his chest. His fair cheeks turned red, "Is... is that so... It seems that changing the look is a good choice..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shy and excited Hinata finally plucked up the courage to look up, only to find that Yu had already stepped into World King's door to another space and disappeared, leaving a quiet forest as if no one had ever been there before.
Compared to a beautiful and powerful woman like Teacher Hong...
The useless Hinata must be very inconspicuous...
Looking at the empty scene in front of me, the white and pure Byakugan Hinata suddenly dimmed, and an inexplicable feeling of loss came to my heart.
Every girl will have a heroic dream when she is young, especially a girl like Hinata who is introverted, shy and lacks courage. In the original plot, Naruto, who is passionate, sunny and courageous, happens to have these things that she never had. It is precisely because of this that she is deeply moved.
But unlike the original plot, the powerful, perfect and fearless Yu not only saved her from Cloud Ninja when she was young, but also convinced Third Hokage to change the fate of Hizashi Hyuga and even the entire Hyuga Clan. He had appeared in her dreams countless times as a flawless hero.
So even though she didn't want to admit it, Yu touched her heart earlier and more deeply than Naruto, who was still full of stupidity at this period. However, these were the secrets that Hinata buried deep in her heart, and Yu, as the person involved, did not know.
"If the original script doesn't change much..."
"That guy Orochimaru should have killed Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure by now, and pretended to be a ninja who participated in this Chunin Ninja Exams and got into Konoha..."
Naturally, the girl Xin Siyu of Hinata has no way of knowing. At this moment, he is walking in a dark green boundless alien space of World King Door-Door Fruit. Since almost everything has been arranged, he only needs to quietly watch the development of things from the side.
"Orochimaru and Danzo..."
"Haha... Don't worry, I won't keep you two waiting for too long..."
While murmuring to himself, Yu glanced at Nonō, who was frozen inside Ice Spirit Coffin next to him, motionless as if he was just asleep, with a deep and sharp gaze. A cruel and cold smile gradually bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
"Next... let me wait and see, which one of you two will go down first to confess to Nonō?"
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
This Ninja World Chunin Ninja Exams, which has attracted much attention, was held as scheduled in Land of Fire Konoha Ninja Village.
All countries and forces have focused their attention on this ninja selection battle jointly organized by Land of Fire's Konoha and Land of Wind's Sunagakure. The epitome of a bloodless war between countries and forces has once again returned.
And compared with the Chunin Ninja Exams that Yu participated in in the past, the current Chunin Ninja Exams in peacetime has more people participating and paying attention to it than before.
Things are unpredictable, and war will suddenly break out someday, so each country and force has invested more energy in paying attention to the contest between the rising stars of their own village and the rising stars of other villages.
In the past few days, in addition to staying with Hong and Yugao for dates every day, Yu also went to the residence where Bai and Kimimaro were staying to give them instructions. His seemingly calm behavior made those around him who had been observing and monitoring him slightly restrain their gaze.
Chunin Ninja Exams's first exam is ready to begin.
The huge classroom was already crowded with ninjas from various ninja villages from various countries, all gearing up and eagerly waiting for the exam to come.
"Bai, I'm not very good at theory tests..."
"Will I live up to Master Yu's expectations..."
It is very rare that Kimimaro's seemingly always stern face actually reveals a trace of nervousness at this moment, because he is better at killing and actual combat than theory.
"Pfft...Kimimaro You don't need to be so nervous..."
"You must know that theory is my strong point, and Master Yu has already explained it. When the time comes, you only need to pay attention to my password..."
It's rare to see Kimimaro showing such an expression, and an unconcealable smile suddenly appeared on Bai's delicate face.
"Okay..."
After hearing Bai's comfort and arrangements, Kimimaro's face finally regained its composure.
"Hey! You guys all listen to me!!"
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I am the future Hokage of Konoha! I will not lose to any of you!!"
At the same time, Naruto, who was on the other side of the classroom, suddenly made an astonishing move. He slapped his big hand on the table and shouted to all the ninjas in the classroom with his trademark loud voice.
"Idiot!!"
Seeing Naruto's astonishing behavior attracted the malicious eyes of all the ninjas in the classroom, Sasuke next to him immediately cursed him secretly, while Sakura was so frightened that he quickly pulled him off the chair.
"Damn...Naruto that guy..."
"This has caused everyone to focus all their attention on us..."
Feeling the unkind glances from all around, Konoha, Team 10 and Shikamaru also complained incessantly.
"Sure enough, it's Naruto-kun's style..."
Seeing Naruto's actions, Bai, who was sitting next to Kimimaro, couldn't help laughing.
"What the hell is that fool doing?!"
Kimimaro also looked over. With his cold personality, he really couldn't understand Naruto's pushy behavior. Why should he attract everyone's attention when he has no strength?
"But... the guy with silver hair and glasses..."
"The ability to mingle with others is really amazing..."
At this time, Kimimaro suddenly noticed that a young Konoha Ninja with silver hair and a pair of round glasses next to him had somehow infiltrated into Naruto and Team 7's group.
Although he seemed harmless and had no sense of existence, Kimimaro, with his keen intuition, vaguely felt an aura from him that could only be felt by ninjas of Hatake Kakashi's level.
