I made that ramen. Want to bet?

At the other end of the examination room.

Sakura and Ino's competition came to an end, and the two walked out of the examination hall together.

"Uh, what's going on?"

"What happened?"

The two of them stood there, mouths agape, looking as if they'd seen a ghost.

What's wrong with these guys?

They all look like they only have half a life left?

They were lucky to escape unscathed and had no idea what kind of torture these people had endured.

It was a very long time before I picked up the exam again and started taking it again.

Gorō Satoru and Sasuke chose a spot with a good view, waiting to watch Naruto against Kiba Inuzuka.

In the center of the exam hall, Naruto and Kiba were already fighting fiercely.

Naruto was slapped to the ground by Kiba after only a few rounds.

Kiba Inuzuka turned his head and called out to Gekko Hayate, who was acting as the referee on the sidelines.

"Examiner, this person probably won't be able to get up for a while."

A smug smile played on his lips.

The onlookers also started chattering amongst themselves.

As expected, Shikamaru shook his head and turned his gaze toward the arena.

"That Naruto has absolutely no chance of beating Kiba, "Ino said with absolute certainty.

Naruto is too weak. Rock Lee's eyes were glued to Naruto.

"So this guy is actually that weak after all," Kankuro added.

Gorō Satoru smiled, resting his chin on his hand.

That's not a good way to put it.

Naruto is more than that.

I bet Naruto will definitely win this match.

He said it with great confidence.

"Even if you say that, he still can't win." Ino completely disagreed with Gorō Satoru's assessment.

She knew the true value of a tooth better than anyone else.

"I admit he's pretty capable, but the gap is just too big." Shikamaru shook his head again and looked at Gorō Satoru.

He had seen Naruto's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat, but the gap in his strength was too large to be filled by willpower alone.

The others nodded in agreement and stood with Shikamaru.

They also didn't believe Naruto could turn the tide.

Isn't that obvious?

After hearing this, Gorō Satoru on the other side smiled and deliberately provoked them.

"Alright then, let's take a gamble."

"Let's bet on who's last standing in today's fight."

Whoever loses has to grant the winner one request.

"Dare you?"

"Why would I get involved in such a troublesome bet?" Shikamaru refused outright, not taking the bait.

He wouldn't get involved in such trouble.

Gorō Satoru wasn't in a hurry, and added a few more words to it.

"Don't you guys want revenge for that bowl of ramen?"

"What's wrong, chickening out?"

"I cooked that bowl of noodles."

"It tastes pretty good, right?"

The moment the words were spoken, the effect was immediate and explosive.

In the blink of an eye, all the candidates' expressions changed.

So it was you, you bastard, who was behind all this.

That devilish feeling resurfaced in their minds.

It's absolutely terrifying!

Everyone present stared in disbelief.

Gorō Satoru, you're something else, just you wait.

They all readily agreed to Gorō Satoru's bet, without any hesitation.

Even Shikamaru, who had been keeping a cool head, instantly forgot his guard and readily agreed.

Across from him, Gorō Satoru secretly revealed a smug smile.

Done!

Sasuke and Sakura, who had thoroughly figured out his temperament, were now thankful that they hadn't been tricked.

Given Gorō Satoru's personality, it won't be easy for him to walk away unscathed from this bet.

As soon as the bet was settled, everyone's attention returned to the competition.

Naruto then got up again.

"Stop looking down on me!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You've bled so much, what are you still arguing about?" Kiba Inuzuka was a bit at a loss.

He might not hold back any longer if he goes any further.

I'm deliberately letting you win, wanting to test your strength first. Naruto ignored him, adopting a disdainful attitude.

"Stop pretending! Call that dog out!"

"You'll regret this! "Kiba Inuzuka's expression turned serious after hearing this.

"Come on, Akamaru!"

The two sides got tangled up again, fighting fiercely and evenly.

A while passed.

Kiba Inuzuka tightened his face, his Chakra surged through his body, and he charged at Naruto like a wild beast.

"Fang Over Fang!"

In the blink of an eye, Kiba Inuzuka slammed Naruto to the ground again.

"This is a gaping hole in our strength."

He stared at Naruto, who was unable to get up from the ground, and slowly said something.

Is that all?

The candidates present didn't know whether to be happy for Naruto.

For a moment, my mind was in turmoil, and I couldn't quite describe the feeling.

Gorō Satoru stood to the side, quietly watching the two fight.

There wasn't a trace of worry on his face.

Putting aside the protagonist's luck boosted by those doujinshi, just looking at Naruto's rapid progress these days reveals his solid foundation and the speed at which he absorbs knowledge.

He can't lose this fight.

So it seems like this bet guarantees a win for me.

That sounds pretty good.

Beneath the bandages, a faint smile flickered in Gorō Satoru's Azure eyes.

This can't be considered cheating, can it?

He vouched for it with the names of millions of readers of the original work.

He is truly an honest and law-abiding good person.

The situation in the examination room took a sharp turn at this point.

Naruto, lying on the ground with blood streaming down his forehead, was still muttering to himself.

"I'm going to be Hokage."

"Never lie down in a place like this."

His fingers also slowly curled back, as if he was struggling desperately.

Kiba Inuzuka shook his head, both amused and exasperated by what he heard.

"You want to Hokage? You're clearly worse than me."

"I should take the Hokage's chair."

The Hokage is not something anyone can easily attain.

This kid certainly has a big mouth.

Now it's time for me to give him a good talking-to.

That way, this guy won't be preoccupied with those unattainable dreams all day long.

Naruto suddenly stood up again.

If you try to take the title of Hokage from me...

You'll become a dog that gets kicked out of the house!

Then they bumped into each other again.

The match lasted a long time, and the onlookers were getting a little tired of watching.

"Whoever it is, let's quickly decide who wins."

"Yeah yeah."

The fighting in the arena continues to escalate.

"Multiple Shadow Clone!" Naruto roared, his bright blue eyes gleaming.

A swarm of Shadow Clone rushed forward, completely surrounding Kiba Inuzuka.

Finally, Kiba Inuzuka slammed heavily onto the ground, and there was no more sound.

"Kiba Inuzuka actually lost!" Ino exclaimed in surprise.

Who would have thought that the white-haired kid was right!

That seemingly weak team, which was at the bottom, actually turned the tide and won the match!

Who would believe that?!

How did he even guess that?

And the bet from earlier...
