"It's nice to see you again, Shukaku."
Looking at the enormous, obese tanuki, One-Tail Shukaku, Uya remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips. He greeted him casually, saying, "Next time you come out, be careful; you might scare people."
Uya spoke casually, reaching out to pat Hinata's head as he said to Shukaku, "See, you scared her. Do you know what to do?"
Uya's words left Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame completely bewildered.
Kankuro and Temari on the other side were also stunned for a moment, then looked at Uya as if he were an idiot.
Is this person... stupid?!
Temari and Kankuro could almost see the arrogant white-clad boy being smashed into a pulp by a powerful claw strike from the enraged Shukaku.
But, in the very next instant...
The wind was calm and the clouds were light; nothing happened. Shukaku's enormous claws did not fall; they remained suspended in mid-air. Instead, its small head, perched atop its plump body, gave a comical, cautious nod to Uya.
The scene looked ridiculous, but no one could laugh.
Pfft!
Like a puff of smoke, Shukaku's enormous body vanished into thin air in an instant!
The process of retracting is many times faster than the process of crawling out; it's like a mouse just crawling out of its hole only to spot a cat.
This scene unfolded silently, or rather, the entire process was silent, without causing any significant damage. Shukaku emerged from Gaara's body and then returned, only raising its claw briefly in between.
But, although there was no sound, this scene was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!
Rumble!!
At that moment, everyone present felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame had their jaws smashed, their faces showing exaggerated expressions of disbelief. Even Shino Aburame, who was usually calm, had an expression as if she were dreaming!
On the other side, Kankuro and Temari almost popped their eyes out. It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck them from the blue, making their eardrums ring and their minds go blank.
Temari couldn't help but reach out her little hand and rub her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things or dreaming.
Are you kidding me?!
At this moment, whether it was Temari, Kankuro, Kiba Inuzuka, or Shino Aburame, this thought was echoing in their hearts!
Hinata huddled behind Uya, holding onto Uya arm, her expression equally blank, though more like adorable dazedness than blankness.
"Teacher Uya, it... it seems very afraid of you?"
Seeing that Shukaku had completely disappeared, Hinata stared blankly at Uya and asked a question timidly.
Uya looked at the adorable Hinata, patted her little head, and smiled, "It seems so. After all, I've already beaten it twice before, so I think it probably doesn't want to be beaten a third time."
Rumble!!
These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in the ears of Kiba Inuzuka, Kankuro, and the others, so shocking that they almost fell off the tree.
If Kankuro and Temari hadn't seen Shukaku disappear so easily after being scared by Uya's two sentences, they would definitely have thought Uya was talking nonsense.
However, watching Shukaku transform from a monster into an adorable creature in front of Uya, not even daring to attack Uya, and then simply disappearing in a flash, there was really no reason to refute what Uya had said.
Both of them stared wide-eyed at Uya, their faces filled with disbelief.
He even beat up that monster! Just who is this white-clad boy who's not even as old as their Jonin teacher?!
"Alright, everything that needed to be taken care of has been dealt with. The Chunin Ninja Exams can continue." Uya glanced around, then smiled slightly at Hinata and said, "Well done."
Hinata blushed slightly after receiving Uya's praise and lowered her head shyly.
When she looked up again, Uya had already disappeared.
Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally reacting and coming to Hinata's side.
However, neither of them knew what to say at this moment, as if they had lost the ability to speak. As for whether or not to cause any more trouble for Gaara and the others, they had no idea.
Hinata was even less likely to go looking for trouble, so the three of them glanced at Kankuro and Temari, who were still in a daze in the distance, and then left together, heading towards the central tower.
After Hinata and the others left, Temari and Kankuro finally came to their senses. The two found the unconscious Gaara, and they remained silent throughout the entire process.
Only one thought kept circling in their minds.
Who exactly is that boy in white?!
The second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams lasted five days, and Kimimaro and his group were the first to arrive at the tower, followed closely by Hinata and the others.
Almost as soon as Kimimaro and his group arrived, Hinata and her group followed closely behind, and the two teams met right at the foot of the tower.
After their battle with Orochimaru, Kimimaro and his group easily swept through any small groups they encountered in the forest, obtaining the Ground Coiling in almost no time.
However, because they involved a process of killing and stealing the scroll, they were only slightly faster than Hinata and the others.
Moreover, the appearance of One-Tail Shukaku had previously attracted Kimimaro's attention. Shukaku's size was so enormous that it could be seen even from a great distance, and even if it couldn't be seen, one could sense its terrifying Chakra.
Upon discovering the appearance of One-Tail Shukaku, Kimimaro was interested in fighting Shukaku, but before he had gone far, Shukaku suddenly disappeared. Kimimaro shook his head and headed back towards the tower with Haku and the others.
At the base of the tower, Kimimaro had just entered, turned around and saw Hinata had arrived at the tower at almost the same time, and nodded slightly to her.
After all, Hinata was a disciple recognized by Uya, and Uya's will was the will that Kimimaro absolutely respected. It should be noted that even the three of them had not yet been recognized as disciples by Uya, so his attitude towards Hinata was one of respect.
As for Haku, he always has a gentle smile for everyone. In a way, Hinata is gentle and introverted, while Haku is gentle and more extroverted.
Karin, however, pouted slightly.
Karin was a little jealous of Hinata, who managed to gain Uya's approval. She herself had always longed for Uya's approval but had never succeeded. (To be continued.) Mobile users please visit m. com for a better reading experience.
