"Move it! Naruto said we had to get there within five minutes. Hurry!"
After saying that, Kiba Inuzuka hurried toward Naruto without daring to delay for even a moment.
Sasuke and Sakura were both full of confusion, unable to understand why Kiba Inuzuka had become an errand runner, but they still rode the Giant Brown Bear forward.
Along the way, they saw several ninja examinees who had been knocked unconscious, along with broken trees and cratered ground.
The scene was similar to the aftermath of a battle with Gaara. Clearly, these people had suffered a brutal beating.
When they reached Naruto's location, they found him lounging leisurely on the grass while Hinata peeled an orange for him.
Sasuke and Sakura were speechless at the sight. Naruto was enjoying himself far too much. Everyone else had come here for an exam where they had to fight for their lives, stay wary of every danger, and watch out for ambushes.
Yet Naruto was living so comfortably. The difference was simply too great.
"You're finally here. You're too slow."
Seeing Sasuke and the others arrive, Naruto slowly rose to his feet, wrapped an arm around Hinata's slender waist, and jumped straight onto the Giant Brown Bear's back.
"There isn't much room on the Giant Brown Bear's back. Sasuke, Sakura, you two get down and walk."
"Get down?"
Sasuke and Sakura were left speechless. But since the Giant Brown Bear belonged to Naruto, they could only jump down from its back in frustration.
After getting down, they watched Naruto and Hinata chatting and laughing while Karin acted as the bear's driver. They suddenly felt that Naruto was truly living a blessed life.
"Hmph, I'm definitely getting myself a Giant Brown Bear someday too," Sakura said enviously.
