"Naruto, what are you doing?"
Inuzuka Kiba looked around, glancing at one of Naruto's clones as he asked.
"Nothing... Hinata, you can go in!"
The Naruto clone ignored Kiba's question, focusing on the shy Hinata with a bright smile.
This was the task assigned by the original Naruto!
Then, the two clones stepped aside, allowing the three of them to enter.
Although Kiba had an impulsive temper, he was as obedient as a quail in front of Naruto, hugging Akamaru and rushing inside.
"By the way, Hinata, have you collected all the scrolls yet? I have an extra Earth Coiling Scroll here. Which one do you want?"
As Hinata passed by Naruto's clones, one of them suddenly thought of something and pulled out two scrolls, smiling.
"I... we have collected all the scrolls. Thank you for your kindness, Naruto-kun..."
Hinata blushed, lowering her head as she replied, quickly entering the tower.
This scene ignited jealousy among the other teams watching!
Not only did they not let her pass, but Naruto also treated Hinata with such thoughtfulness. Who could tolerate this?
"Do it..."
One of them shouted loudly, throwing a handful of kunai to attack.
The rest quickly followed suit, launching their own attacks.
In an instant, chaos erupted...
"Tooth, Naruto-kun... he'll be fine!"
Hinata, who had entered the tower, heard the commotion outside. Her red face turned pale as she looked worriedly at the door.
"It'll be fine! That guy is tough... Plus, those are all Naruto's clones. It should be fine, we need to hurry inside."
Inuzuka Kiba peered out the door with a fearful expression. The sympathy in his eyes faded as he reassured Hinata.
Hinata was also concerned about the chaos and forgot about the terrifying power of Four-Tails Naruto.
With Kiba's reminder, she left with the two of them, feeling more at ease.
As Kiba said, the few teams outside were no match for Naruto's clones.
"How hateful... Is this how Konoha's ninjas conduct secret operations? Are there any rules in this Chūnin exam? You are not even Genin..."
A Kusanagi Genin fell to the ground, staring at Naruto's clone and roaring in frustration.
"Rules? Haven't I always followed them? If you want to talk about rules, well... I'm setting the rules now!"
One of Naruto's clones declared with a burst of Chakra, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Everyone looked at each other, momentarily speechless...
We can't beat you anyway. You're right, let's go!
Not to mention them, even in the next three days, more teams could come and attempt to besiege him, but it would be futile!
On the contrary, those who were beaten by Naruto's clones were left bruised and unable to fight back.
Including Yakushi Kabuto, who tried to play the emotional card!
"Examiner Anko, isn't this too much? Will it cause other villages to protest and have adverse effects? Should we stop him...?"
In the monitoring room in the tower, one of the examiners asked anxiously.
"Don't worry about it! He hasn't violated any rules, so we have no reason to stop him. Besides, there are too many candidates this time, and if he's willing, let him deal with them. Coincidentally, we can also get some rest!"
Anko glanced at Naruto's clone on the screen, showing her small canine teeth as she lazily stretched.
After the chief examiner made this comment, the assistant examiners immediately lost their composure.
These are just small issues!
The main concern is that Orochimaru guy. Who is the boy he was talking about? What are his intentions...?
Anko pushed aside her laziness and thought seriously.
Soon, the five-day survival trial passed...
Thanks to Naruto's interference, none of the other candidates managed to enter the tower.
Apart from the Konoha Twelve, only the three siblings—Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari—were promoted this time.
High Tower
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, along with Konoha and other Shinobi Jōnin, appeared simultaneously in the wide practice field.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam. Before we start the third exam, I want to explain the true meaning of this exam. The Chūnin exam is actually a reflection of the wars between countries..."
As in the plot, Sarutobi Hiruzen began his lengthy speech.
Yes, it was like that! In the face of real interests, all those words were useless nonsense.
"Cough cough...
Sir Third Hokage, please forgive my rudeness. I'll take over from here. I'm Moonlight Gale, the referee."
Under the skeptical gaze of all the candidates, the short-lived ghost Haifeng rushed out to interrupt Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech, seizing his moment in the spotlight.
"Cough cough...
Before the third test, there will be a qualifier. Since there are more candidates than expected, cough cough...
We will have to limit the number of participants and the time.
The number must be kept below ten people."
Moonlight Gale explained the reasons for this qualifier, his speech stumbling as if he had tuberculosis.
In an instant, the fifteen people present all looked at each other.
They didn't expect that there would be a qualifier!
Including Naruto.
He had originally thought that the qualifiers would be canceled if some people were eliminated.
Unexpectedly, fifteen people advanced, which was still too many.
"Ahem...
I forgot to tell you guys, this is an individual competition!
Cough, cough, cough...
Anyone who is not feeling well can choose to withdraw."
Gale had a paralyzed expression of indifference and reminded everyone with another cough.
"Teacher, Tenten is the most uncomfortable person!"
Hinata, who had always been gentle, couldn't help but complain quietly.
"Well, I withdraw..."
Shikamaru, the lazy one, immediately raised his hand and said.
"Well… except for those three scary guys, the rest are Konoha ninjas. I don't want to participate in such a dangerous and troublesome thing!"
Shikamaru made a clear-headed analysis, then stepped out of the queue and stood by to watch the show.
"This guy Shikamaru is too unmotivated!"
Seeing this, Ino sighed helplessly and smiled wryly.
"Cough, cough, cough...
Has no one else withdrawn?
That's right, fourteen people will be divided into seven groups to fight."
Gale waited for a moment, and when no one else came forward, he shouted in a deep voice.
At the same time, Anko ordered the electronic screen to be turned on and started the random drawing.
The first match was Sako Uchiha VS Tenten.
"Um, Sir Examiner, I admit defeat! I can't beat Sako-senpai."
Tenten, very knowledgeable, quickly raised her hand to surrender, knowing Sako's strength well.
"Uh, all right!
Cough, cough, cough...
As the candidates admit defeat, Sako Uchiha advances automatically.
Let's start the second match..."
Moonlight Hayate reluctantly announced that Sako Uchiha had advanced, and the big screen continued to rotate.
The second match was Inuzuka Kiba VS Uzumaki Naruto.
"Um, Sir Examiner... I suddenly feel really uncomfortable, so I'm giving up."
When Inuzuka Kiba saw that his opponent was Naruto, his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly found an excuse and surrendered.
"Is that so...
Well, cough, cough.
Uzumaki Naruto advances. Let's start the next match..."
Moonlight Gale rolled his eyes helplessly and announced again.
Uncomfortable?
With that rosy face, you're lying! This is...
In the third match, Hyuga Neji VS Hinata.
"Master Examiner... I surrender!"
This time, the person who surrendered surprised everyone.
No one expected that Hyuga Neji, who was talented and strong, would actually take the initiative to admit defeat.
Could it be that the clan's influence intimidated him?
At this moment, Neji was also in a dilemma.
This was a qualifier, and it was crucial whom he faced, but he ended up choosing Hinata!
Hinata had been specially chosen by Naruto to keep him immobile.
What could Neji do?
He could only admit defeat!
In case Hinata was accidentally injured and made Naruto angry, who would help the branch house release the Caged Bird?
Neji understood the priorities here.
A single Chūnin position was not worth the risk...
Only the examiner, Moonlight, was left dumbfounded...
That's four people down? What a mess is this?
