Naruto: Sasuke and Naruto Hot Heaven

Kankuro leaned against the wall boredly, tapping the wall gently with the kunai in his hand. He resisted the urge to take out the puppet to play with it.

Temari was sitting next to him, applying medicine to the wound on her leg. She was the only one injured among the three of them.

Gaara stood on the other side of Kankuro, his back straight as if he had merged into the wall.

Since they entered the room, he has remained silent and more gloomy than usual. The air in the room seemed to have become heavy because of him. His eyes were empty and dull, and his red hair was lifeless and scattered on his shoulders, like strands of coagulated blood, which made Kanjiro feel creepy.

Now, there were only three of them in the room, and they had been here for a long time, about an hour if Kanjiro guessed correctly.

There were no clocks on the walls of the room, nor were there any windows, so they could not tell the time accurately.

So far, no other team has arrived, and even those Konoha ninjas wearing dark clothes have disappeared. From the beginning of the exam to now, those Konoha ninjas have been interfering with his perception and making him uneasy.

The teams they had faced in the exams had been terribly weak and vulnerable, but he couldn't shake the uneasy feeling.

Temari suddenly slapped him on the leg with such force that he couldn't help but cry out in pain. Temari was in adolescence and sometimes she didn't use enough strength to hit him. He looked up and saw Temari looking at him with amusement.

"If you keep looking so sad, you'll get wrinkles on your face."

Kanjiro smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I know, I just...something feels wrong."

"You just think too much." Temari said softly, with a hint of pampering in her tone. She stood up and patted the wrinkles on her skirt.

A powerful chakra fluctuation suddenly appeared within their perception range, and Kanjiurou noticed it immediately.

"somebody is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open violently, startling the Chunin examiner standing at the door. Nine Konoha Genin walked in aggressively. Since the first exam, these people have always been Kanjiurou's "focus targets".

They surrounded a black-haired boy, who seemed to be seriously injured and needed the support of his companions to walk. Next to him was a blond boy and a girl with pink ponytails.

As soon as they entered the room, they went straight to the rest area in the corner, which was filled with soft cushions and was a rest area specially prepared for the candidates.

With the arrival of these nine people, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. They seemed to completely ignore the Chunin examiner and walked to the corner and started discussing.

Kan Jiulang immediately concentrated and pricked up his ears, trying to eavesdrop on what they were saying. Intelligence gathering has always been his strong point, and he wanted to find some useful information from their conversation.

He didn't know much about that team. He just met them once at the beginning of the exam and never met them again after that. He just watched them from afar a few times. Other than that, he knew almost nothing about that team. He only knew that they cooperated very well and seemed to have a special way of communicating. They could understand each other's thoughts even without language.

The injured black-haired boy was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. One hand was tightly covering his neck. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

The blond boy wanted to check his injuries, but the black-haired boy waved his hands violently and said something impatiently, and then the two of them started arguing in a low voice.

Finally, the blond boy reluctantly stepped aside and made room for the Hyuga girl.

The girl from the Hyuga family squatted down in front of the black-haired boy. The veins around her eyes were bulging, making her look a little scary, but her voice was very gentle, as if she was asking about the other person's injuries.

The black-haired boy nodded and slowly loosened his hands that were covering his neck, but Kanjiro still couldn't see the wound because the Hyuga girl blocked his view.

"Get out of the way, idiot." The black-haired boy said to the blond boy unhappily. Although his voice was not loud, Kanjiro could still hear it clearly.

"You're the idiot." The blond boy muttered softly.

"Your back needs to be checked too, idiot." said the pink-haired girl. She also sat down next to the black-haired boy, looking a little tired. Shikamaru squatted down next to her and looked at her with concern.

"What's wrong with his back?" Ino asked. Her clear eyes looked at the dark clothes on the black-haired boy's back and asked, "He doesn't look injured?"

"That's a special fireproof suit. It won't burn," Shikamaru explained.

So it's protective gear? Kanjiro thought to himself, it seems that this team is more difficult to deal with than he thought.

The blond boy helped the black-haired boy take off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. Inuzuka Kiba saw his wounds and couldn't help but gasp. Even Kanjiro couldn't help but frowned. There was a large burn mark on the boy's back. The wounds were shocking and some places had even begun to fester.

"How could this happen? Where is your self-healing ability?" Ya asked in surprise.

"He himself suppressed his self-healing ability." The black-haired boy said coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

The blond boy stuck out his tongue and said nothing.

Sakura shook her head helplessly and tried to stand up, but Shikamaru held her shoulders.

"Your chakra is not stable right now, so you should take a rest and let me do it."

"But--"

"Be obedient." Shikamaru's tone left no room for doubt.

Sakura had no choice but to nod and sat back obediently. Shikamaru also closed his eyes and began to treat Sasuke's injuries. He concentrated the chakra on his palm and then gently pressed it on Sasuke's wound. The light green chakra slowly injected into Sasuke's body, helping him repair the damaged cells.

At this moment, another young man wearing sunglasses and a black windbreaker suddenly spoke:

"Let me do it, you tell me what to do, I can copy your chakra."

The female ninja hesitated for only a second or two before nodding and beginning to teach him a few hand seals.

"The chakra flush only takes a few seconds each time. You just have to make sure that the energy you release is enough to counteract..." She paused. "You know."

The boy with glasses nodded, indicating that he understood. "Of course." He walked over to the blond boy.

"Now let me look at those again," Shikamaru said to the pink-haired kunoichi.

He sat down cross-legged and reached out for her arm.

She grumbled but held out her arm to him.

Kankuro noticed some pretty severe bruises on her forearms, which oddly looked like they were more than a day old.

Kankuro continued to watch, confused, wary, and inexplicably fascinated by their interaction.

They talked, worked, argued, and worried about each other, and had an easy, quasi-sibling friendship with each other that made him a little uneasy.

Kankuro knew roughly that the Konoha ninjas were famous for their teamwork, but he had never witnessed this kind of cross-team trust and cooperation in person - in the Sand Village, people encouraged competition between teams and colleagues to cultivate personal strength, so the three of them were not familiar with this kind of thing.

"The invigilator is acting strange." Temari finally spoke up. She poked her head out from behind Kankuro to get a better look at the alcove. "What's going on over there?"
