The Uchiha Orphan's Survival Guide [Naruto]

The three of them finished cleaning the family tombs in silence, and then fetched towels and water to carefully wipe the hundreds of tombstones. After finishing all this, the sky was already dark, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and went to the lake. After catching three fish and grilling them for dinner, we said goodbye to each other and went home.

The next day was the welcome day, and Yui knocked on Anri's door early in the morning with a lantern and pen and ink.

"Today is the welcome day. It is customary to hang up a lantern with the family crest, then light a rope made of thatch and go to the cemetery to invite the ancestors to come home for the festival." As soon as Anri opened the door, Yui flashed into the room. , she held up a lantern and asked: "Can you draw the Uchiha clan's family crest?"

Anri nodded, took the lantern and pen and ink, and quickly drew the Uchiha clan's Uchiha family emblem.

Yui looked on, nodded and commented: "You are pretty good at painting."

Hearing this, Xingli raised her head and showed a rather proud smile: "That's natural. My dream when I was a child was to become a painter."

Yui's eyes widened in surprise, and she complained: "But to be honest, although my painting is pretty good, I'm still far from being a painter."

Anri scratched her head: "Then I became a ninja. I was almost exhausted from practicing every day. I didn't have time to practice with a paintbrush."

Yui was slightly startled, and suddenly realized why Anri became a ninja and why she never picked up a paintbrush again. She wanted to comfort her, but she really didn't know what to say, so she just sat in silence with Anri. The man next to him patted her on the shoulder.

But with all her conscience, Anri really just said it casually and didn't take it seriously, so when she saw Yui's expression of inexplicable compassion, she just felt confused.

She suppressed her confusion, lowered her head, drew another lantern, and put it away. Then she got up and went out with Yui to buy some thatch and make it into rope. Then she met with Hayato to pick out some fruits and incense for the sacrifice. After all this was done, it was still early for the three of them to look at the weather. Since there was a festival to be held in the evening, many stalls had been set up during the day. The three of them walked around and had some fun, bought some food, and walked around. Turn finally arrived at night.

The three of them came to the Uchiha clan and hung a lantern with the family crest on the gate. They went to the clan tomb to burn the thatch ropes, then lit incense and placed offerings on the altar. Anri went to her parents, In front of their brother's grave, they kowtowed three times and then left. On the 16th, the three of them brought lanterns to the family grave and burned them to bid farewell to the dead. Finally, they only had to go to Minamigagawa Shrine to pay homage to Uchiha. Shishen, this simple sacrifice is complete.

When the three of them arrived at the shrine, they happened to bump into Sasuke who had returned from completing his mission. Although he came back a little earlier than expected, it was nothing strange. What was strange was——

"Naruto, Sasuke, what is that blue thing on your hands?" Hayato asked with a surprised look on his face.

I saw that Naruto and Sasuke's left and right hands were stuck together by a ball of blue jelly. Both of them looked unhappy when they heard the words, turned their heads and snorted coldly.

"It's all that bastard/crane tail!" the two said in unison.

After a moment, Sasuke turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you issue a mission to ask someone to help you clean the clan tombs and offer sacrifices to the clan members?" Hayato said, "Our class will take over. When we go to Nanga River Shrine to worship your clan god, the mission will be completed."

Sasuke frowned and asked: "How do you know that the Uchiha clan will come to Minamigagawa Shrine to worship the clan god after bidding farewell to the dead during the Bon Festival?"

Hayato was speechless for a moment, and Yui quickly answered: "After accepting the mission, I went to ask the senior in the clan who had good relations with the Uchiha clan. He told me that sacrifice is a big event, and we also want to do it as well as possible."

Sasuke nodded, lowered his head with red ears and whispered, "Thank you."

Hayato smiled and put his arm on Sasuke's shoulder, "Don't say that, it's not like you didn't pay me."

Sasuke shook his head: "Basically no one wants to get close to the Uchiha clan, let alone help with sweeping tombs and offering sacrifices. Although the reward I give is not small, it is definitely not very generous, so I really appreciate your willingness to help. Thank you very much.”

"We are companions who have gone on missions and practiced together, so it's only right to help with these things." Anri smiled.

So everyone went into the shrine to worship the Ujigami, and when they came out, Hayato saw that it was not too late, so he suggested: "It will be midnight after Yui and you, the Hinata family's festival is completed, and the village festival should not be over yet. Let’s go shopping together. I saw a stall selling Jinping Candy during the day that looks quite delicious, let’s go and try it together!”

"I won't..." Sasuke was about to refuse, but Naruto responded first: "Okay! Call Sakura, let's eat a bowl of Ichiraku ramen first, and then go to the festival to have a good time!" Then he ran away, Sasuke was tied to him, and he had no choice but to follow him.

Anri, Hayato and Yui looked at each other and smiled, and she said softly: "Thank you."

Hayato and Yui patted her shoulder, and then the three of them started to follow the two people in front who had already run away.

Magnificent fireworks were blooming in the sky at this time.

A few days later, the festive atmosphere gradually dissipated, and Yamato finally returned to the team. The four of them gathered at the training ground. He handed each of them a form, "You should have seen many people from other villages in the village recently. Ninja, the Chunin Selection Examination will be held soon. I have recommended you, but the recommendation does not mean that you must participate. If you decide to participate, please sign the application form and submit it to the school's Classroom 4 before 301 pm tomorrow. "

"Oh, okay." Anri quickly glanced at the contents on the table, took out a pen and signed her name.

"Borrow me a pen." Yui said, taking the pen handed over by Anri.

"Yui, when you finish signing, lend me your pen to sign." Hayato said.

"No...don't you three hesitate to think about it?" Yamato twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I've signed it, can I hand it over now?" Anri raised her head and asked.

"Do you know that the Chuunin Exam is very dangerous? You can lose your life if you are not careful." Yamato threatened with a sinister expression. "Are you really ready to wake up? Don't you think about it anymore?"

The three of them nodded, and Yui said: "I know, the seniors in the clan told me that my brother will also take part in this exam. Maybe I can compete with him in the exam. I'm really looking forward to it." .”

Anri spread her hands and said: "Anyway, ninja is a dangerous profession. If you are afraid of the danger, just don't become a ninja." She gently stroked the knife at her waist, "And I might meet many strong people in this exam. I I also want to test the results of my cultivation during this period."

"If you're a chuunin, you can accept missions with higher rewards." Hayato paused, and then said seriously: "And I think they need my help in the exam, and they can't do it without me."

"Huh?" Anri and Yui turned their heads, speechless.

Yamato looked at the three of them and sighed with relief and helplessness.

"So can we hand over the form now?" Anri asked.

"Ah, don't be so anxious, just hand it over tomorrow." Yamato said, holding his forehead.

The next afternoon, the three of them gathered outside the school and went upstairs together. Halfway through, they saw a figure wearing a green tights and a figure with a bun on his head knocked to the ground.

Yui's brows jumped when she saw this: "Brother Li, Sister Tiantian, where are you performing?"

At this time, the man who knocked the two of them to the ground sneered disdainfully and said, "I am doing it for your own good. The Chuunin exam is very difficult. Those who give up being a ninja at the beginning of the exam will be unable to stand even if they are beaten. We’ve seen too many of those who have gotten up…”

"You alone will definitely not be able to pass the exam. What's wrong with driving you away?"

At this time, a cold voice interrupted them——

"It's better to quickly untie the barrier created by illusion." Sasuke walked over with a smile, "We must go there."

"It's not enough to see through illusions." The man chuckled, then teleported behind Sasuke, and flew forward with a roundhouse kick.

Sasuke took a step back, distanced himself, raised his leg and was about to kick back. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Li suddenly appeared between the two of them, stopped them, and then looked towards him with a blushing face. Sakura took a deep breath and seemed ready to say something.

But Neji stepped forward, pushed him away, and then walked in front of Sasuke, looking him up and down like a scrutinizer: "Are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

Before Sasuke could answer, he sneered and pulled away: "I hope you are a strong man worth trusting."

Sasuke looked at him confused after hearing this, confusion written on his face.

"Brother!" Yui called.

"It's Yui." Neji turned around and responded with a gentle smile.

"Although I don't know what you are doing, brother..." Yui muttered softly, "But I am looking forward to competing with brother in the exam. Brother, you must be prepared!"

Neji smiled happily and touched Yui's head, "I'm also looking forward to fighting Yui."

After saying that, he called his companions and left.

"Yui actually has such a cute side." Hayato complained silently, "I didn't expect it."

Anri nodded in agreement.

"Huh?" Yui blushed instantly, and then forcibly changed the subject, "It's getting late, don't talk so much, let's go to Classroom 301 to hand in the application form."

With that said, he forced the two of them away who were still smiling teasingly.

When they arrived at the door of the classroom, they saw Yamato already waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the three people approaching, he smiled happily and said, "It seems that the three of you are ready to wake up, so let's go in."

"Anri, Yui, Hayato, do your best for the exam!"

After speaking, he opened the door——

The Chunin Exams have officially begun!
