"In short, these are the main points to note for the Chunin Ninja Exams. Good luck to all of you and try your best to pass this Chunin Ninja Exams. Don't be nervous, it's very simple. I have witnessed your strength, and becoming Chunin is a sure thing."
Kakashi reassured the group, hoping they wouldn't be nervous about the upcoming Chunin Ninja Exams.
Besides, the Chunin Ninja Exams aren't something you can pass with your hands open and your eyes closed, are they?
Kakashi expressed his incomprehension, stating that the Chunin Ninja Exams were really not difficult.
Naruto and his two friends were speechless at Kakashi's reaction. It was like someone who had already been admitted to Tsinghua University telling a high school senior that the college entrance exam wasn't difficult. Although the difficulty of the two was not the same, the logic was absolutely correct.
Seeing that the others remained silent, Kakashi assumed that his earlier words had had an effect.
"Alright, good luck on your exams tomorrow. I'm off now, I have a lot of things to take care of."
Sasuke then inappropriately chimed in.
"You have so many things to take care of, do you mean you want to go read that Icha Icha Paradise '?"
Kakashi, who had already walked halfway out, was so frightened by Sasuke's words that he immediately turned back.
"Shut your mouth, little mouth."
Kakashi manually muted Sasuke's mic before leaving, relieved. It was all Naruto's fault for shouting, causing everyone to misunderstand him. How could "Icha Icha Paradise " be a pornographic book? It was a treasure of the art world; they just didn't understand.
The others couldn't understand why Kakashi was so fond of the Icha Icha Paradise; they wondered what was so interesting about it.
Naruto shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
"Let's go. The Chunin Ninja Exams are tomorrow, so we won't have any grueling training today. I'll make you something nice to eat."
Upon hearing Naruto say such a thing, their eyes lit up. Such opportunities were rare indeed. After all, since Naruto moved into the Uchiha, he had rarely cooked for them, and the two of them had been craving it for a long time.
"Really? Godfather?"
Naruto was already numb to Sasuke's shamelessness. What happened to the proud and Uchiha? How could you turn into this for a bite to eat?
Hinata nearby, was also very excited when she heard that Naruto was going to cook for her. She hadn't eaten Naruto's cooking in a long time, especially Mapo Tofu, which she really missed.
Taking in their reactions, Naruto smiled. What kind of miserable lives have these kids lived? Have they never had anything good to eat?
"Alright, you two, let's order. What would you like to eat?"
"Ma Po Tofu."
Spicy chicken.
"Orleans fried chicken leg."
Naruto:...
I'll just be polite with them. Do they really think this place is a restaurant?
However, Naruto still agreed to prepare these dinners for the two of them.
"Alright, meet at my house later."
It was quite late when the three of them finished eating. As usual, Naruto and Sasuke first took Hinata back to the Hyuga Clan, and then the two of them went back to the Uchiha to sleep.
The next day, the moment the sun rises, heralds the official start of the Chunin Ninja Exams.
The three of them watched in amazement as all sorts of people appeared in Konoha's village.
There are all sorts of ninjas here.
Looking at the various ninjas around them, the three fell silent, especially when they saw a ninja without limbs, no legs or arms, wriggling on the ground only by his abdomen, looking exactly like a snake.
Naruto's lips twitched. Was becoming a ninja really an unavoidable fate?
Let's go.
The three of them walked towards the main group and saw a group of people heading towards the second floor of the classroom.
Without giving it much thought, the three silently followed the main group inside.
Naruto knew he had arrived when he saw the two guardians of Konoha standing at the door of a room; the Chunin Ninja Exams had begun.
Sasuke also noticed the strangeness of the place; someone had used Genjutsu to change the house number.
He turned around, glanced at Naruto, and saw that Naruto's expression was normal. Only then did he realize that Naruto had also noticed something was wrong.
"Alright, Zhuzi, let's go, we're going to the third floor."
Hinata and Sasuke didn't ask any more questions; they just listened to Naruto.
The three men's behavior made some people in the room burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, look at those three idiots. The exam is clearly here, but they insist on going to the third floor. Are all Konoha ninjas this cowardly?"
As soon as he said this, many people echoed his sentiments.
However, they failed to notice the mocking and sarcastic gazes directed at them from those around them. They couldn't even see through a simple Genjutsu, yet they dared to ridicule others?
The three ignored the voices of those around them and headed up to the third floor on their own.
The two gatekeepers, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, exchanged a glance and began announcing the exam results.
"Anyone who doesn't seem to be doing something wrong is unqualified, especially the one who laughed the loudest just now."
When the results for the two were announced, some people were stunned.
The guys who were just laughing at Naruto and his group were completely dumbfounded, and the others around them were looking at them with a wicked sense of amusement.
"Smile, why aren't you smiling? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"
"Hahaha, let's go, let's go. I don't want to stay with these idiots, or I'm afraid I'll catch their 'infect'."
On their way to the classroom, Naruto saw many familiar faces, including the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Kiba and Shino whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and Sakura Haruno, who had disappeared for a long time.
Are Konoha 12 Konoha members present?
Just as Naruto was feeling sentimental, he suddenly heard a very peculiar sound.
" Sakura-chan, please, will you go out with me?"
Naruto was a little surprised. Who would choose this time to confess their feelings? It's so hard to guess, isn't it, Rock Lee?
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw a guy in a green bodysuit clinging to Sakura Haruno, giving her a thumbs up, showing off his shiny teeth, and looking at Sakura Haruno with a big smile.
The sudden confession startled Sakura Haruno; she never expected anyone to confess to her. But when she saw who it was, Sakura Haruno fell silent.
Without even thinking, I refused outright.
"Don't want."
"It's a guy? (Why?)"
Sakura Haruno turned her head away with a look of disgust, not wanting to look at Rock Lee's teeth that could blind anyone.
Your eyebrows are so thick.
"Ah?"
Sakura Haruno's words left Rock Lee frozen in place, deeply hurt.
"Teacher Kai, I've broken up with my boyfriend."
Two streams of bright tears flowed from Rock Lee's eyes. "Teacher Kai, I tasted the bitterness and pain of heartbreak for you."
At this moment, Sakura Haruno also noticed the three members of Team 7 who had arrived, or more precisely, she noticed Sasuke.
Her face flushed red, and she excitedly ran to Sasuke. Her hands, trembling with excitement and nervousness, were clasped behind her back, and she kept her head down, not daring to look Sasuke in the eye.
"Um, Sasuke Uchiha, can I go out with you?"
As soon as Sakura Haruno finished speaking, they heard the sound of something breaking.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Rock Lee had just been petrified, had suddenly cracked open.
