Konoha Hidden Village is being rebuilt

Haruno Sakura did not come back until the official trials for the third round of the Chunin Exams began.

With a teammate missing, the situation naturally had to be reported, but Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who roughly guessed that her disappearance was related to Keiyu, were always vague when responding to inquiries.

Hatake Kakashi was well aware of the usual strange behavior between the two of them, and was vaguely aware that this time was a similar situation. After weighing it several times, he helped them cover it up. However, he was also suspicious and decided to wait until Haruno Sakura came back to ask him carefully. clear.

But soon, everyone's attention shifted to another more important thing.

When the official trial was about to show off between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara, something unexpected happened, and the flying feathers transformed by illusion filled the entire arena, and the audience fell down one after another; at the same time, the "Fourth Generation Kazekage" rose up, He kidnapped the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!

In the arena, people from Sunagakure Village suddenly jumped off the viewing platform and stood between the two sides. Uchiha Sasuke withdrew his gaze, extremely surprised, staring at the person opposite and arguing about the so-called "action".

He clutched his injured arm and tried to get up, but as soon as he made a move, he saw a familiar light - dreamy bubbles swept across all directions, pulling him into a completely different midsummer.

The cicadas chirped like rain and there was a huge crowd.

The blazing sunlight surged down through the cloudless sky, splashing all over the bustling arena. The twisted ripples it stirred up were either sound waves or heat waves. The people who appeared in the stands in a daze were suddenly awakened by the loud noise.

"Neji!"

Tenten supported his teammate Hinata Neji who was supposed to be receiving treatment in the lounge. He looked around blankly and found that another teammate from the third team, Rock Lee, was standing next to him, and the instructor Jonin Metkai was supporting him. Looking outside, all the twelve genin from Konoha participating in the chuunin exam plus the class's instructor jounin were all present, and even the three siblings from Sunagakure Village...

"What on earth is going on...?" She still remembered what happened in the middle of the game and was dizzy, so she asked along with the commotion of the genin.

The teachers looked at each other with solemn expressions, each gathered their students and looked forward.

The stand where everyone was sitting was facing the rostrum, and a figure wearing sleeveless clothes had already walked up to the host's seat below.

The cheers suddenly became intense.

Amid the shouts of more than ten thousand people, the man in the chair raised his head, revealing a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Locke Li, who was standing opposite the man, was so frightened that he almost dropped his crutches: "Kai, Kai, Teacher Kai! That's——"

Metkai almost threw him like a crutch. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as his disciple's, but also an identical twin, he was at a rare loss for words: "Li...does your father have any brothers?" "

Not only was the third class in chaos, but others were also shocked, but what was even more incredible was yet to come:

The man who seemed to be twenty years older than Rock Lee cleared his throat, and with the help of the amplification equipment, his voice spread throughout the arena: "Welcome to watch the 'Chūnin Examination' jointly held by the five major powers and hosted by the Hidden Leaf Village. '! After two rounds of selection, the contestants this time are about to enter the third exam - the official selection! I am the referee of this exam, Li Locke. First of all, please..."

In the noise where his own voice could barely be heard, Tian Tian blushed and shouted loudly: "Xiao Li! It's really you!"

Rock Li replied with a louder voice than her: "I'm not standing here!"

"Oh, this is such an unexpected youthful surprise!" Metkai was even more excited than them. He slapped Rock Lee on the shoulder and almost knocked him to the ground.

Hyuga Neji: "...Calm down."

The other people who had traveled together could still barely think, but when "Rock Lee" said the second half of his sentence and looked at the five figures slowly walking out of the podium, their minds immediately went blank——

"...First of all, I would like to invite you, Uzumaki Naruto, the Seventh Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village..."

The man in the god's robe stopped in front of the central seat and faced the stands. He had bright blond hair and blue eyes. He smiled calmly and waved to the audience, and the three stands immediately responded with a response that almost shook the roof.

Except for Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto who were prepared, everyone was speechless for a moment, and Kakashi Hatake stared at the people on the podium in a daze.

"... Gaara, the Godaime Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village..."

The red-haired man stood next to "Naruto Uzumaki" and nodded to the audience. The scar with the word "love" on his forehead was clearly visible.

Now the three siblings of Sand Hidden Village couldn't stand still. Gaara, who was clutching his head and in a frenzy before, suddenly froze, raised his eyes stiffly, ignored the surprised glances from around him, and glared at the Godaime Kazekage who was sitting on his seat with a gentle expression, and the next moment he made a show of force. Rush to the podium. After regaining consciousness, Temari and Kankuro hurriedly grabbed him.

"Gaara...! The situation is weird, don't be impulsive!"

"If we go over now, there will be too many enemies to deal with. Please wait a moment..."

"Get out of the way! Otherwise I'll kill you too!"

The host "Rock Lee" naturally didn't notice the "interlude" here. After introducing the five shadows, he continued after they took their seats one by one: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Hokage to give a speech!"

"Uzumaki Naruto" stood up again and said a few words briefly, announcing.

"... I wish all the contestants good results. Then, the third round of the Chunin Examination, the official trial, begins now!"

There was chaos in a corner of the stands. The three Suna ninja siblings were entangled in each other when they were stopped by someone.

The woman with yellow hair tied up high frowned and held down Gaara, who was increasingly unable to control his emotions. She looked at him condescendingly and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Don't fight with your family in a place like this. Find a seat quickly and sit down." .”

Gaara, who looked ferocious, couldn't get away for a moment. A woman who looked like Temari rubbed his hair, gave him a gentle push that was half helpless and half stern, and returned to the middle between Temari and Kankuro. He couldn't help but be stunned.

"Children these days are more difficult to handle than the last." The woman turned to complain to her husband who was walking side by side, "That kid from Ludai was completely led astray by you, and everyone who asked him if he liked anyone said 'it's too troublesome to fall in love'! "

The husband responded lazily: "It doesn't matter. I won't find it troublesome when I meet someone I like. Isn't that what I am... It hurts!"

The wife who punched him said angrily: "Nara Shikamaru, what's so proud about this!"

The woman walked away angrily, and the abandoned husband cheered up and quickly chased after her: "Temari!...Ah, why are you suddenly angry? It's so troublesome..."

The couple left, leaving everyone behind who was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

Temari turned her head one by one and looked at Nara Shikamaru, who was also sluggish. She opened her mouth but was speechless. However, taking advantage of the moment she relaxed her control, Gaara escaped and quickly disappeared into the crowd. She immediately put all her worries behind and followed Kankuro quickly.

"Gaara—!"

Everyone's attention silently turned to Nara Shikamaru.

Nara Shikamaru forced himself to calm down: "...What are you doing? Even if there is something in the future, there is nothing now. Do you expect me to catch up and defeat that guy?"
