Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

Sakura fell in love with Kaede.

To be fair, there are many excellent boys in this ninja school.

In addition to Feng, there are two geniuses, Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto is very good, but he is too influenced by his father's halo and has developed a domineering character of a second-generation rich man. Sakura can't appreciate it. After all, she is not such a snobbish girl.

Sasuke is equally outstanding, and his looks are comparable to Kaede. His background is slightly worse than Naruto's, but he also comes from a famous family.

If Kaede hadn't appeared, I would probably have fallen in love with Sasuke. Sakura often thought so.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

Compared to Kaede, Sasuke always has a childishness about him, which is a big minus!

Feng, on the other hand, is more reserved and mature than her peers, which is really attractive to girls of this age.

Sakura isn't the only girl in the class who likes Kaede.

Even though Feng had some bad reputation because of her background, Sakura didn't care at all. Instead, she felt that this tragic aura deeply touched her.

What Sasuke and Naruto lack is probably this kind of tragedy. They were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and won at the starting line from birth. Their future life will surely be smooth sailing.

"A life under the protection of parents does not reflect the role of a wife. The book says that behind every successful man, there is a virtuous wife."

"I have the confidence and awareness to face the adversities of life with Feng, even if I am deserted by everyone!"

"I don't know if there is a so-called nine-tailed demon fox sealed in Feng's body. If there really is, I don't mind Feng transferring that demon fox into my body. If there really is such a method, I am willing to bear everything on Feng's behalf!"

"It's a pity that Feng doesn't know my feelings."

Sakura looked at the heart-shaped shadow under the swing, feeling sad.

"If I could become a Chunin, Kaede would definitely notice me. But the heavens played a huge joke on me, making it a luxury for me to even sign up for the Chunin Exam..."

"Haruno Sakura-san, you're here. It took me so long to find you." The gentle bubbling sound interrupted Sakura's thoughts.

The swing stopped and she raised her face with an incredible expression!

"Fourth, Fourth Hokage, why are you here!?"

Minato smiled and said, "Your jonin, Miss Inuzuka Hana, has submitted a recommendation form for the Chunin Exam. I'm asking you again, are you still willing to participate?"

"Yes! Of course I do!"

Sakura was overjoyed, "I, can I go to the contestant's hall now!!!"

Minato said, "Okay, but before that, I need to take you to meet your teammates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato touched Sakura's broad forehead, and with a whoosh, he appeared in the alley outside the examination venue!

In front of Sakura... were two girls she had never met before, wearing forehead protectors she had never seen before.

"Aren't the people who team up with me from Konoha?"

Minato said: "You all signed up for this Chunin Exam in your personal capacity, which is actually not in line with the spirit of the Chunin Exam."

"In order to test the tacit understanding between the team, the Chunin Exam has always been a three-person team registration."

“This is not going to make an exception for anybody.”

Minato changed the subject and said, "But there has never been a hard and fast rule that a three-person team participating in the Chunin Exam must be from the same ninja village, so I am not breaking the rules."

"In short, letting the three of you form a temporary team is the best I can do as a Hokage within the rules."

"This temporary team has not experienced any form of running-in beforehand. You need to quickly adapt to each other's personalities and temperaments, as well as become familiar with each other's fighting styles. This is extremely challenging even for true Chunins. Tell me, as Genin, do you have confidence?"

To distinguish the Kaede from Takigakure from the second incarnation of Nagato, we call her 'Taki Kaede'!

Taki Feng thought: Sister Yuri Ling, you really took a lot of trouble! Don't worry! I will definitely cherish this hard-won opportunity! Become a responsible Chunin!

Kurotsuchi thought: That handsome guy really didn't lie to me! Even the Hokage of Konoha showed up in person! I even forgot to ask him his name! But we will meet again soon!

Hehe, Grandpa will only show up with other Kages at the finals of the third round of the Chunin Exam! I wonder if he will be so scared that his waist will break when he sees me at the finals!

Sakura thought: So that's how it is. The Fourth Hokage gave these two girls from other villages a chance for me! I will use the skills I learned in the Ninja School and the practical experience I have acquired under the guidance of Inuzuka Hana to lead them to the finals!

Because I have a reason not to lose!

"We have confidence!!!" the three girls said in unison!

"Very good, I will follow your performance through live video!" Minato left a gratified smile and disappeared into the alley.

"Are you satisfied now, Junior Brother Nagato? You're willing to help Takigakure's Xiaofeng change her family. You really like to give me problems..."

Minato smiled helplessly and extended his hand to Nagato's shoulder.

Nagato pushed away the 'stamp' without leaving any trace, and turned the tables by saying, "Why do you act as if you are going to help me? How could I listen to your precious son Naruto and even think about giving up my chance to take the Chunin Exam and let that girl named Haruno Sakura take his place!"

"Who told you? It couldn't have been your precious son?"

"Whose precious son is this? Find out for yourself."

"Of course I treat Feng as my own precious son, but over the years, Feng has never called me dad, but has called Kushina mom. Is it really the case that whoever gives me milk is my mother? I even doubt whether I am such a failure as a father..."

Nagato looked at Minato's stern expression and asked in surprise, "Brother, are you...jealous?"

At the venue of the first examination, candidates entered one after another.

The number of contestants this year is several times that of previous years, so the classroom serving as the first venue for the written test has also been expanded several times.

There were so many people in the place, and the seating arrangements were all messed up, so the chance of meeting acquaintances was very slim.

Look, Feng was sitting in the middle of the third row from the bottom. Looking around, there was no main character, not even a supporting role.

Just as he was about to look away, two familiar red ponytails came into view. The girl was wearing a black robe of the Hidden Rain Village, and her snow-white face had a very cold expression!

She stopped at the seat to Feng's left, "Wow!" She shook her robe, looked straight ahead, and sat down in a very cool posture!

It is said to be on the left side, but in fact there is an aisle between them.

A faint smile appeared on Feng's lips.

It was a smile that no one in Konoha who knew him had ever seen before.

Family, who understands? My homemade little cotton jacket and I are taking the Chunin exam together, and our seats are next to each other...
