Mr. Bandage's twisted special training
Konoha, the testing ground for the Chunin Ninja Exams.
The qualifiers are all over.
A total of twelve candidates advanced to the next round.
On Konoha's side are Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga.
Sunagakure and Temari from Gaara.
Dosu, Misumi Tsurugi, and Zaku from the Otogakure.
Sweet Ninja Village is Wu Chiwu, Hozuki Kagetsu, and Haku.
As soon as the competition came to a close, the Third Hokage of grandfathers slowly walked up to everyone.
The fiery red robe shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.
He raised his eyes, sized up the group of boys who had passed the test, and spoke.
The official competition will be held a month from now.
"On that day, you'll all have to show off your skills to all the onlookers."
"You represent not only yourselves, but also the villages you represent. Show your true colors and leave no regrets."
Wu Chiwu glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and secretly yawned.
This old man is still so talkative.
He's probably honed his skills in deceiving people for most of his life.
He blinked his blue-white eyes and raised his hand as if to cause trouble.
"If it's a knockout tournament, then in the end only one person can win?"
"There's only one person who can become Chunin, right?"
The remaining candidates were all taken aback by his words and started chattering amongst themselves.
"Take only one?"
"That's ruthless?"
"..."
The Third Hokage Wu Chiwu across from them.
A slightly uneasy expression flashed across his face.
This brat from Sweet Ninja Village looks kind of familiar.
Have they met?
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for two or three seconds, then lowered his voice.
"No, this time the review isn't just me, the old man."
"The Lord Kazekage will also be there, along with the daimyo and ninja leaders from various countries who trust us, to watch the match together."
"The judges will score your performance in the elimination rounds, item by item."
"Even if you get knocked out in the first round, as long as you're considered qualified, you can still earn the title of Chunin."
"Did you understand, Wu Chiwu from Sweet Ninja Village?"
Wu Chiwu his hands together and nodded, indicating that he understood.
I understand.
It's just a talent show; if the judges like you, they'll give you an advancement card.
He mentally drew a big red X on the Chunin Ninja Exams.
I don't use my face to attract fans; I don't do those fan club things.
The preliminary rounds had barely ended when Naruto and Sasuke dragged Wu Chiwu away for special training.
"Look at me, do I look like I need special training?" Wu Chiwu yawned and casually remarked.
"You're the one who can lecture us!" Sasuke said coldly.
Wu Chiwu glanced at Naruto and Sasuke in front of him, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
After being tormented like that last time, these two still dare to come.
Completely unreasonable.
"Is it really decided?" he drawled out.
"Want to stop thinking about it?"
Naruto and Sasuke nodded faster and faster than anyone else, making Wu Chiwu's head ache.
These two don't even have any related attributes; it's clearly going to be a troublesome task.
"Okay." Wu Chiwu smiled, a slight curve appearing on his lips.
"Don't come crying to me if you regret it."
The training he conducted was never something an ordinary person could endure.
You have to risk your life before you can talk about any results.
"Hey, Mr. Bandage, what are you doing?"
"Hey, what do you want?"
Sasuke and Naruto landed steadily on the ground from mid-air.
They stared blankly at Wu Chiwu across from them.
Sasuke frowned, staring at his second brother.
Why did this person suddenly change their expression?
Wu Chiwu straightened the bandages wrapped around his arm and looked over with a forced smile.
The black robe blocked out a large portion of the sunlight, and half of his face was hidden in shadow, which was a little unsettling.
"Of course, it's because you asked me to do it—I'll give you special training."
"Now, run."
"Don't let me catch you before this popsicle melts completely."
He pulled out an ice cream cone from somewhere, a smile on his face, and said something to Sasuke and the other guy.
"Oh, I almost forgot, who lost..."
"It was hung at the entrance of the women's bathhouse for everyone to admire."
"Isn't that a thoughtful idea?"
It looked like black smoke was rising from behind Wu Chiwu, and Naruto and the other guy were so frightened that they took several steps back.
"Are you kidding me? Why are you doing this?" Naruto's face changed upon hearing this.
They came here for training, how did they end up doing something like this?
Sasuke, standing beside him, bit his lip hard and asked coldly.
"Hey, what kind of punishment is this?"
What exactly has my second brother learned these past few years?
Is he joking?
Sasuke slowly shifted his gaze to Wu Chiwu across from him.
That particularly friendly smiling face suddenly caught his eye.
Oh no, he forgot.
He forgot about his second brother's terrible temper.
There's nothing this guy isn't capable of.
Every word he uttered was taken literally.
"Hurry up, I'll give you a hundred." Wu Chiwu said casually.
Don't let me catch you too easily.
"Otherwise, this game won't be fun."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Naruto beside him and ran away.
"Hey, why are you running so fast?" Naruto stumbled after Sasuke, rushing forward.
Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?
I didn't see him panic like this when we fought the Sound Ninja last time.
What's wrong with me today?
Sasuke glanced around and said coldly.
Idiot, if you don't want to actually get caught, you'd better stay close.
"Hey, is it that serious?" Naruto still looked confused.
"You're not kidding?"
Sasuke gave Naruto a disdainful look, then patiently added another sentence.
"Wu Chiwu, everything he says is true."
"If he catches you, you'll be hung up at the entrance of the women's bathhouse without a doubt."
When that time comes, he'll most likely still be watching the show from the sidelines, probably making all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
He absolutely can do something like that.
How did I end up with such an unreliable second brother?
This is really a headache.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, his heart filled with worry.
"Ah, it's for real." Naruto's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Really?" he pressed, still unwilling to give up.
"Why don't you go ahead and test it out for yourself?" Sasuke retorted coldly.
Naruto shook his head, no longer pressing for answers, and followed Sasuke closely as they sped away.
Even he wouldn't want to be involved in such a punishment.
He only wanted to become Hokage so that everyone would remember him; he had no desire to be a monster that the entire Konoha would talk about for the rest of his life.
We absolutely must not let him catch us.
On the other side, Wu Chiwu was still calmly counting.
"Fifty-one, fifty-two, Tsukumo, one hundred."
"Alright, we've finished counting to one hundred."
He finished reciting the numbers with a serious expression, as if he hadn't misremembered anything.
"It's time to go get them." Wu Chiwu curled the corners of his mouth upwards, a rather pleasing smile.
He lightly pushed off the ground and stood on the roof, his blue-white eyes slowly scanning the surroundings.
"They're hiding here."
"It's strange that it can hide."
At this moment, Sasuke and Naruto were huddled together on the most crowded street.
"Is hiding here really safe?" Naruto asked suspiciously.
There's nothing particularly special about this place.
It's just a bunch of food stalls and entertainment venues clustered together.
Why hide it here?
Sasuke scanned the surrounding crowd with his Sharingan and spoke in a low voice.
The street is so crowded with pedestrians that it's the perfect place to hide.
"If we blend into the crowd, it won't be so easy for him to spot us."
Naruto was also looking around at the things on the street.
His facial features suddenly contorted, and he opened his mouth hesitantly.
"But the women's bathhouse... is right next door, not far away."
Is it really okay for them to hide here?
Sasuke leaned against the wall, his blue clan robes slightly dusty from running.
He paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"The most dangerous places are often the most dangerously safe."
"He probably didn't expect the two of us to dare to sneak up here."
"And speaking of this..."
He paused halfway through his sentence, lost in his own thoughts.
Naruto was standing nearby, immediately noticed that Sasuke.
What else is he saying?
What else are you saying?
Suddenly, a voice that sounded incredibly familiar drifted over from behind, overlapping with Naruto's inner thoughts.
Naruto and Sasuke froze on the spot, a chill running down their spines.
No way!
They caught up so quickly.
The two of them retreated forward in unison, and when they glanced back, they saw Wu Chiwu's lazy appearance.
"Hi." Wu Chiwu smiled slightly and casually raised his hand to them.
Am I really that scary?
He leaped forward, deftly blocking their path.
"Why are you running so fast?" he asked the two with a smile.
When the sun shines on white hair, it sparkles.
Oh no, given the current situation, we have no choice but to...
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, having made up their minds.
The only option is to force it outwards.
"Multiple Shadow Clone!" Naruto formed a Hand Seals and created countless shadow clones.
The two of them quickly blended into the clones and disappeared without a trace.
In this way, Mr. Bandage couldn't tell which group they were hiding in.
Naruto is quite confident.
Sasuke was hiding with him, also gave him an admiring look.
Not bad, but at the bottom of the class.
Even the second brother was helpless now; he couldn't catch them.
Across from him Wu Chiwu forced a bright smile.
Those blue eyes beneath the bandages had seen through everything.
Well, would you call this cheating?
Everything is clearly visible.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." He said casually.
In the blink of an eye, countless Shuriken rushed towards the two of them.
Is he really going to do this?
A look of surprise flashed in Naruto and Sasuke's eyes.
Isn't this guy afraid of actually hurting them?
Looking at Wu Chiwu, who seemed so relaxed and comfortable, both of them felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong.
Bang bang bang!
In just a few seconds, all the clones were scattered.
Wu Chiwu's figure drew ever closer.
"There's no other way, we have to resort to our last resort," Sasuke said to Naruto in a low voice.
"You'll need to coordinate well later."
Naruto's azure eyes were full of question marks as he glanced towards Sasuke.
What's this guy planning to do?
Was that last move his ultimate technique?
Sasuke's blue clan robe swung in the air, and he charged straight at Wu Chiwu, simultaneously throwing away what he was holding in his right hand.
"Brush!"
A string of Three-Color Dango streaked through the air, about to fall far ahead.
A dark shadow pounced after it, refusing to let go.
Naruto was completely dumbfounded by what he was seeing.
"Uh, that's your ultimate move?"
"It actually worked?"
He stood frozen in place, looking completely unable to accept it.
Sasuke nearby, tilted his head and said something, sounding somewhat helpless.
"There's nothing we can do, he only eats this one bite."
"Get out of here, you can only pull this trick once."
Upon hearing this, Naruto quickly took off to catch up with him.
However, Wu Chiwu's reliable image had completely crumbled in his mind.
The shock inside him churned for a long time without subsiding.
