章節 37: Chapter 37 Kyubi
Kankuro initially wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but remembering that his cold-blooded, murderous Jinchuriki brother was standing right next to him, he quickly dismissed the idea.
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
Jinchuriki, which is comparable to walking human-shaped nuclear bombs, were terrifying to anyone who dealt with them.
Kankuro was definitely scared… scared of being squashed to death by his own brother's transformed hand.
Gaara remained silent throughout the whole process and seemingly uninterested in his siblings' conversation.
As the three entered Konoha's main street, their unusual appearance immediately drew the attention of passersby.
However, it was just a brief moment of curiosity. With the Chunin Exams around the corner, seeing a few Genin from other villages on the streets was not uncommon.
Among the crowd, a young boy with spiky blond hair was leisurely wandering around with a drink in his hand. His bright hair made him stand out, and he had a lazy expression on his face.
Naruto no longer needs to take part in the Chunin Exams, and Kakashi is busy training Sasuke and helping Sakura with her Taijutsu training.
Anyway, Naruto was left alone with plenty of free time.
Besides aimlessly wandering around the streets, his favorite pastime was transforming into an adult using the Transformation Technique to sneak into Konoha's arcade and play pachinko.
He didn't wear the Konoha forehead protector, leaving his forehead exposed and his blond hair conspicuous as he roamed around having fun.
Since Sandaime didn't want him to take the Chunin Exams, he decided to let loose and enjoy himself.
The reason Naruto wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams was purely to trigger the system's options. If that didn't happen, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
Worst case scenario, he could always use the time to hang out with Hinata and unlock the Kyubi's progress. The feeling of getting stronger while flirting with girls is indeed really comfortable.
"Fox demon brat, get lost! I'm not selling anything to you!" The mask shop owner glared at Naruto with a look of disgust.
Naruto, who was picking out a fox mask, turned his head at the sound of the shop owner's voice. He first stared at the shop owner deeply, and then unexpectedly put on the fox mask on his face.
Step by step, Naruto walked towards the shop owner.
The mask shop owner was frightened by the silent, masked Naruto. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground with a thud.
When he turned his head to look at Naruto, the spot where Naruto had been standing was empty.
"Are you looking for me?"
Naruto's voice suddenly came from directly behind the shop owner.
The man, still on the ground, looked up to see Naruto, who's wearing the fox mask, leaning over and staring down at him.
"Aaahhhh!!!!"
"Monster!"
"Hahaha, what's the matter, mister? Are you really that scared?"
The terrified screams mixed with Naruto's carefree laughter, attracting the attention of passersby who looked on at the scene inside the shop with horror on their faces.
Naruto, however, was unbothered. He walked straight up to the shop owner, removed the mask from his face, and asked with a bright smile, "Mister, will you sell me the mask?"
"Sell, sell!" The mask shop owner was already intimidated and no longer dared to make any sarcastic remarks.
"Oh." The smile on Naruto's face suddenly disappeared at this moment. He casually tossed the fox mask onto the ground and said softly, "But I don't want it anymore."
As he said this, he stomped on the fox mask on the ground and broke it into pieces. Then, he turned around and kicked the mask stand next to him down.
The force was so great that the masks on the rack instantly shattered into pieces.
The mask shop owner, pale with fear, stared wide-eyed as his mask display collapsed with a crash.
However, Naruto just glanced at the fallen shop owner and casually tossed a handful of bills into the air before leaving with a smile on his face.
As he watched the fearful and shocked gazes of the villagers on the street, Naruto smiled to himself, 'I'm a Jinchuriki, nobody owed anyone anything.'
'Why should I give in to those bastards?'
'They want me to be a nuclear weapon, but they always treated me poorly. Why should I accept it?'
"That's the Kyubi's Jinchuriki, right?" Kankuro, who was passing by in the crowd, asked, pointing in the direction Naruto left.
"Seems like it." Temari nodded, her brow furrowed slightly.
"Let's go meet him," Kankuro suggested eagerly, his face filled with anticipation
"Don't meddle in other people's business!" Temari refused decisively, and said in a low voice, "Don't forget our mission. That Kyubi brat doesn't look easy to mess with!"
But before Temari could finish her words, Gaara, who had been silent all along, stepped towards the direction Naruto had left.
"Gaara!" Temari reached out to stop him, but Kankuro swiftly intervened her.
He shook his head at Temari with a rare serious expression and said, "He's made his decision. It's best not to interrupt him."
Temari fell silent and reluctantly withdrew her hand. She sighed and could only signal Kankuro to follow her as they went after Gaara.
This time, Sunagakure participated in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha was not only for the exam, but also to secretly formulated an attack plan to destroy Konoha.
As an important part of the plan, the three siblings were sent to Konoha early to participate in the Chunin Exams and gather intelligence.
It is precisely because of this that Temari did not want to cause any unexpected trouble before their mission even began.
In the alley, Naruto suddenly stopped in his tracks.
[Kyubi's approval 13.2%]
During his recent date with Hinata, the progress bar soared very quickly, from 2.3% to 6.7%, and finally surged to 13.2% during the fireworks.
Compared to 2.3%, 13.2% meant that Naruto had already used one-ninth of the Kyubi's power, even capable of manifesting one tail.
He turned around and saw the three siblings from Sunagakure standing outside the alley.
His gaze lingered momentarily on Temari's exposed shoulder net outfit.
'The atmosphere in the Sunagakure was indeed more open.' Naruto couldn't help but recall a Temari fan art he had seen before he crossed over here.
Gaara stared at the blond-haired figure before him and spoke, "I smell the scent of my kind from you."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gaara showed his Chuunibyou syndrome. Naruto knew very well that Gaara was still in his rebellious phase at this time, so he didn't bother with him too much.
After all, Gaara is the legitimate prince of Sunagakure, and standing beside him is the Sunagakure's princess, Temari, and the young prince Kankuro, who has no interest in the 'throne'.
All three had a somewhat non-mainstream look, which made Naruto lose any desire to communicate directly.
Waving his hand dismissively at Gaara, Naruto said impatiently, "I'm not a Chuunibyou. How can I be the same as you?"
"Chuuni what?" Kankuro asked in confusion.
"You guys have fun. I'm leaving." Naruto waved his hand again, turned around, and started to leave.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, a surge of killing intent suddenly surrounded him. This strong killing intent came from behind him, from Gaara, who loved playing with sand.
Naruto glanced back, and the Kyubi's Chakra surged instantly. His face transformed into a half-human, half-fox expression as he snarled at the Sunagakure's Genins.
"Get lost. Don't make me say it a second time."

章節 38: Chapter 38 Change
Outside the alley.
Temari and the other two stood in the sunlight, but they were completely stunned. Even Gaara retracted his killing intentand looked at Naruto in the shadows with fear.
"Let's go!" Temari whispered urgently, no longer caring about anything else at the moment.
She quickly grabbed the hands of her two rebellious brothers, not looking back as she hurriedly led them out of the alley. It wasn't until they had gone a considerable distance that she released them, gasping for breath.
"What was that?" Kankuro, whose face was painted with purple striped camouflage, asked, his eyes vacant and his hand trembling as it supported him against the wall.
Kankuro, still rational, knew that Gaara standing beside him was also a monster and that the term 'monster' was taboo, so he didn't say anything harmful or unnecessary.
"The Kyubi." Temari, with her entire body trembling, said. Her legs were so tense that they were still spasming.
"How could there be such a terrifying thing in Konoha?" Kankuro recalled the scene moments ago, his purple lips quivering incessantly.
"Kyubi?" At this moment, the Jonin leading the Sunagakure Team had already stood beside them. He frowned and glanced at the three, "How is it possible? You must have been tricked by that brat."
"Tricked?" Temari and Kankuro exchanged glances, but Gaara didn't react at all and still stood there indifferently.
"Baki-sensei, what do you mean?" Temari asked anxiously, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Baki, the Jonin referred to by Temari, wore a stern expression, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes with a brown Sunagakure's Jonin vest over it.
He had a piece of white cloth draped over half of his head, covering the left side of his face. His tone was serious and somewhat authoritative.
"You don't need to worry too much." Baki said, "Kyubi reappeared in Konoha more than a decade ago. It is believed that the mature Jinchuriki is already dead."
"The current Konoha's Jinchuriki is just an ordinary kid who can't control the power of the Biju at all."
Having said this, Baki paused, looked at his three students and continued, "What you described was a Biju Transformation. That is something that only a Perfect Jinchuriki can do. If Konoha really had such a Jinchuriki, how could we have continued the Konoha Crush Plan?"
"Sensei, are you saying that kid can't really control the Kyubi and just pretended to use Biju Transformation to scare us?" Temari asked in surprise.
"Of course, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the village's most important Jinchuriki just happened to pass by you?" Baki nodded.
His eyes seemed to see through Konoha's conspiracy, and he showed a stiff smile as if he had comprehended everything.
"The Chunin Exams are a competition to showcase the new generation's strength from various villages. How could Konoha miss this great opportunity to intimidate our Sunagakure?"
"I see." Kankuro nodded. Although he still felt something was wrong, he felt it was unimportant.
Since a Jonin like Baki said so, and their ally for this cooperation had very reliable intelligence, there is naturally no reason to doubt it.
Temari also breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth and said viciously, "That guy actually dared to trick us. He better not fall into my hands in the future!"
Gaara, who had remained indifferent, merely glanced at them coldly, but did not speak to correct them.
The moment he lowered his head, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Gaara knew best whether that was the pressure from a Biju, and there was no doubt about it, it was the Kyubi.
…
The next day, a heavy rain poured down in Konoha.
Led by Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke headed to the Hokage Tower to submit their Chunin Exam application forms. The three of them walked in the rain holding umbrellas.
Under the pink umbrella, Sakura broke the silence and mustered up the courage to ask Kakashi, whose back was ahead of them, "Kakashi-sensei, why can't Naruto take the Chunin Exam with us?"
Kakashi stopped upon hearing her question and turned to look at Sakura.
"It's Hokage-sama's order, there's nothing we can do about it."
"But…" Sakura swallowed, her fingers gripping the umbrella handle turning white in the downpour, "we're a team, aren't we?"
The sound of the rain drowned out most external noises, forcing Sakura to shout so that Kakashi could hear her.
Raindrops soaked the tips of her pink hair. Her voice trembled slightly with hesitation, "You taught us, Kakashi-sensei, that we are a team. So... so we shouldn't just leave Naruto behind!"
Sasuke also stopped and frowned slightly. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze toward Kakashi conveyed his agreement.
"Even if this is the order of Hokage-sama? Are you going to disobey it?" Kakashi asked, looking down at Sakura without emotion.
"Perhaps your and Sasuke's qualification for the exam will also be affected. Even so, will you still insist?"
"I…" Sakura hesitated upon hearing Sasuke might be affected too.
Kakashi ignored Sakura's hesitation. He single eye swept over Sasuke and Sakura, and he asked them in a serious tone, "The Chunin Exams is the only way for a Genin to become a Chunin. It is also the fastest way for you to become a Chunin. After becoming a Chunin, both the mission rewards and the resources you'll receive are many times those of a Genin."
"You all have your goals, don't you? Isn't it better to achieve them sooner? The Chunin Exams this time is in Konoha, our home ground. It's a rare opportunity."
"If you wanted to wait for another chance like this, it might be a while. By then, your peers from the Academy might already be Jonin."
"Even so, will you still insist?"
Boom!
Lightning flashed through the rain, and the sound of the downpour grew louder, the raindrops hitting the umbrella seemed to be questioning their consciences.
Sakura and Sasuke both fell into silence, allowing the sound of rain to be infinitely amplified.
"It's okay." Kakashi spoke again, "The order not to participate in this Chunin Exam was personally given by Sandaime Hokage-sama. It is not something you can change."
"Let's go, or we'll be late."
As he said that, Kakashi had already turned around and was walking forward with his tactical boots splashing in the puddles.
"I…" Sakura couldn't help but cry. She remembered the first time the three of them shared information, and Naruto's words of comfort to her.
"There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person..."
"Sakura, your strength isn't in combat. You don't need to overextend yourself. Sasuke and I handle the fighting."
Sakura couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes as she lowered her head and sobbed. She regretted her moment of hesitation, knowing Naruto had never wavered in such moments.
"Kakashi-sensei! I… I still want to take the Chunin Exams with Naruto!" Sakura raised her head and shouted out.
Tears blurred her vision, and she wasn't sure if Kakashi had already walked far away or if the heavy rain had drowned out her words.
The sound of footsteps splashing through water approached, and Sakura felt a warm hand rest on her head. When she looked up, she saw Kakashi's smiling eye, and he said gently, "I agreed."
"You are indeed exceptional. Sasuke has already told me, and Sakura, you've done very well."
