Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

Konohagakure, Chunin Exam Venue

The eight Genin who passed the preliminaries have gathered and stood in a row.

Originally, there were ten people who passed the preliminaries, but due to Uchiha Sasuke's late arrival and Toss Anvil's absence, only eight people came to the venue today.

With the arrival of the "Fourth Kazekage", Sarutobi Hiruzen also began his meaningless speech.

"... Well then, everyone, enjoy the game!"

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, the audience in the venue became excited.

"Then let me explain the rules of the third exam."

Shiranui Genma, who replaced Hayate as the examiner for the third exam, turned around:

“Although the venue is larger, the rules are the same as the qualifiers, and the fight will continue until one side surrenders or dies.

Of course, if I thought the fight was won, I would intervene to stop it.

Do you understand? "

The eight candidates nodded one after another.

Only Naruto still had a question, what if Sasuke was late?

"If Sasuke isn't there when the match starts, Sasuke will be declared the loser."

Genma Shiranui answered as a matter of course.

"Well then, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji will stay for the first match, and the others will return to the players' lounge and wait."

Soon, everyone left, leaving only Neji and Naruto in the venue.

"Game start!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Following Xuanjian's order, Naruto immediately used ninjutsu and created more than ten clones.

Naruto knew very well that Neji's physical skills were stronger than Hinata and Rock Lee's. If he started fighting in close combat from the beginning, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.

As Naruto's clones rushed forward, the first duel officially began.

"But my guy actually made me live outside for a month. This time his opponent is not someone who can be dealt with by being clever."

Inuzuka Kiba, who had grabbed a seat in the first row, complained to Hinata next to him.

"No, Naruto-kun will not lose."

However, Hinata's answer was beyond Kiba's expectations.

"why?"

Ya asked curiously.

"Because Sakura-chan told me that Naruto has the best potential among all of us; he will prove it by defeating Neji in the official competition."

Hinata answered Kiba's question as a matter of course.

Soon, all of Naruto's clones were blown up by Neji.

Naruto gritted his teeth and created more than thirty shadow clones.

Immediately afterwards, Naruto's more than 30 shadow clones were brutally beaten by Neji alone.

Once a shadow clone tries to cast a hand seal, it will become the first target of Neji's gentle fist.

"what--"

With a scream, Naruto's real body, who was attacking from behind, was directly knocked away by Neji's palm, and the remaining seven or eight shadow clones also exploded into puffs of smoke.

"Damn it, you bastard, do you have eyes behind your back?"

Naruto covered his hit stomach with difficulty and stood up tremblingly.

"I remember you wanted to become Hokage!

I advise you to give up as soon as possible and stop daydreaming.

My white eyes can see clearly that everyone's potential has been determined since birth;

Even a person’s fate is determined from the moment he is born.”

Neji said calmly to the embarrassed Naruto.

Neji's voice was quite loud, and many viewers heard his words and fell into deep thought.

Including Sakura who was watching the game in the lounge. Her shock was even greater than anyone else present.

Neji's vision is no longer just high.

What he just said could even be considered a spoiler.

Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, the masked man, Nagato, and the first Hokage who Sakura speculated was no weaker than Nagato. All the top ninjas in Shippuden were from the Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki families.

It can be said that your efforts determine your lower limit, but your upper limit is only related to your background.

If ordinary people do not take the technological route like Orochimaru, the Third Hokage is their limit. Of course, the premise is that you have also inherited the massive forbidden techniques of the Second Hokage.

"Don't jump to conclusions all the time!

You bastard! "

Naruto couldn't help but get angry when he heard Neji casually comment on the fate of others again.

"Are you trying to say that anyone can become Hokage as long as they work hard?

But the reality is that very few people can become Hokage.

Only a small number of outstanding ninjas even have the chance to become Hokage.

Face it!

It is destiny that a person can become Hokage;

You can’t become one just because you want to, that’s your fate.

There is only one thing in this world that is fair to everyone;

That is death."

Neji still told Naruto the truth about the ninja world in a neutral tone.

"Fuck!"

Sakura, who was watching the game in the open-air lounge, was so shocked by Neji's words that she got goose bumps all over her body.

Because Li Ying had not reviewed the original work repeatedly, Sakura's memory of this battle was just Neci's long speech on fatalism.

But after hearing what Neci said with her own ears, Sakura realized how outrageous Neci was.

It was hard for her to imagine that such words came from the mouth of a Konoha Genin.

It's amazing that Neji could explain the seemingly democratic Hokage election so thoroughly.

Everything is just as Neji said, some people are destined not to become Hokage from birth.

This is the objective fact. People who come from the great ninja clan are definitely not qualified to become Hokage.

When Konoha was first established, the Sarutobi clan was just a small ninja clan, and there was only one master in the clan, Sasuke Sarutobi.

Even the family's inherited Fire Style is very useless compared to the Uchiha clan.

It can be said that even without using the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is still far superior to the Sarutobi clan.

However, because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's more than 50 years as Hokage, the Sarutobi clan was able to enjoy the best resources in the entire Konoha.

The ordinary Sarutobi clan was transformed into the most prosperous ninja clan in the entire Konoha.

There are more than 3,000 registered ninjas. Of course, no one knows how many of them are civilians who are just collecting salaries while being ninjas. After all, many management positions in Konoha require managers to be ninjas.

If this were to happen to a ninja clan that possessed bloodline limits or family secret techniques, Sakura couldn't imagine how much power this ninja clan could gain.

It can be said that all of Neji's words are correct. If a candidate wants to be able to convince the public, his background is definitely more important than his strength.

If I have to say something wrong, it's that Neji chose the wrong person to say this to.

Unfortunately, Naruto is one of the minority he mentioned, the child of destiny who has been on the path to becoming Hokage since birth.

To what extent are Neji's words correct?

Even Naruto, who was the best at talking, was speechless after hearing what Neji said. He was silent for a while before he managed to say:

"Humph, so what? I won't give up easily!"

It can be seen that in the face of absolutely correct reality, no matter how eloquent you are, the only thing you can do is to be stubborn.

Because Hinata and Neci were evenly matched in the preliminaries, Naruto couldn't even stand on the moral high ground and accuse Neci of bullying Hinata as he did in the original work.

After another round of attacks, Naruto, just like in the original work, was hit by Neji with a set of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, and fell to the ground, completely unable to move.

"It seems that you are still not convinced, so let me tell you from my own experience.

That matter about the hateful Hyuga clan!"

It's here, it's finally here.

Sakura in the lounge had been waiting for a long time for Neji to expose the caged bird on his head.

Because the caged bird on Neji's head is an important symbol to distinguish whether this world is a comic world or an animation world.

The caged bird in the comics is "—卍—" while the caged bird in the animation is changed to "—x—" due to the Legalist ideology.

As Ningci untied the forehead protector, the answer to this question was revealed...

It is “—x—”

"awesome!"

Sakura was ecstatic. You know, there are a lot of good things in the original animation.

The Thunder God Sword, Life Curry, Micro Fragrance Bugs...the most important ones are Sora of the Fire Temple and the Three-Tails two years later.

After Neji told Naruto the origin and function of the caged bird on his head, as well as the tragic ending of Neji's father, Hyuga Hizashi, who served as a scapegoat, not only Naruto, but many of the audience present also felt a little sympathy for the fate of the Hyuga branch family.

Hinata Hiashi's face in the stands turned paler than ever.

"You keep judging fate, but you are the one who least wants to be bound by fate.

Bastard, I can definitely defeat you and prove it to you."

Naruto, who had his acupuncture points all over his body pressed, found that he couldn't condense any chakra at all.

In desperation, Naruto once again recalled the scene when he summoned Gamabunta two days ago:

Stinky fox, lend me some strength!

After Naruto cursed the Nine-Tails in his body, he actually felt a surge of chakra flowing out of the seal on his stomach.

As the visible red Nine-Tails Chakra gushed out, Naruto's injuries were actually healed instantly.

"How could it be possible...

Who on earth is this guy? "

Neji was completely shocked by the scene before him and opened his Byakugan again to observe the meridians in Naruto's body.

"what!"

Neji saw that not only had Naruto's chakra recovered, but the quality and quantity of this chakra was far superior to that of Naruto just now.

In his vision, the chakra that overflowed from Naruto's body even slowly gathered into a ferocious fox head.

Ningci was shocked by the huge and strong chakra in Naruto's body. At this time, Ningci had already vaguely realized:

Compared to him, Naruto might be the genius.

Even if Naruto's talent in ninjutsu is poor, with such a huge amount of energy, he can kill most ninjas.

Naruto, with red chakra wrapped around his body, fought with Neci without saying a word.

Faced with Naruto who suddenly started to cheat, Neji was actually at a disadvantage at this time.

In the end, it was Neji who used the Kaiten to knock Naruto away.

The powerful reaction force directly caused Naruto's body to smash into a deep hole in the ground.

Just when everyone thought the game was over, Naruto, covered in wounds, slowly climbed out of the pit and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:

"I told you I will definitely beat you..."

As soon as Naruto finished his words, eight shadow clones, also wrapped in the Nine-Tails' chakra, "whooshed" out from the eight directions around Neji.

Clone Armor: "Swirl——"

Clone B: "Vortex——"

Clone C: "Ming——"

Clone Ding: "People——"

"The Art of Infinite Breakthrough!" x8

Immediately afterwards, the four shadow clones located in front, behind, left and right of Neji simultaneously used Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.

Faced with an attack that had almost no blind spots, Neji could only use Kaiten again to spin his body at high speed.

But when Neji had just resisted the four major breakthroughs, the other four shadow clones had already formed seals and launched ninjutsu.

In this way, the eight shadow clones were divided into two groups, relying on the advantage of more chakra to carry out uninterrupted wind bombardment on Neji who was still spinning.

Naruto has enough chakra, but it is impossible for Neji to keep spinning and maintain Kaiten.

Finally, when Neji could no longer hold on and finally stopped, he was still blown away by a whirlwind coming towards him.

Ningji was blown high up and flew about ten meters away, then fell to the ground with a "thump".

At this time, Ningji had already decided to give up this competition in his heart. He lay on his back on the ground and stared at the sky.

Neji felt that he was behaving like a clown. After fighting for a long time, he finally realized that he was the one destined to be defeated.

Shiranui Genma also noticed that Neji had lost all his fighting spirit, so he loudly announced the result of this match:

"Uzumaki Naruto, win!"

Naruto, who had released his shadow clone, walked straight towards Neci. Even though what he had just said made sense, he was the winner after all. If he didn't take this opportunity to say something to Neci, Naruto felt that he might still have a demon in his heart.

However, before Naruto could elaborate on the great truth he had racked his brains to come up with, Neji spoke first:

"I lost. I admit that I made a mistake."

Neji's frankness made Naruto feel like he had hit cotton with a heavy punch, and he felt indescribable discomfort.

"Your talent is rare in this world, and you have a clean background. If we choose a Hokage from our class, you will be the best choice.

You are one of the rare and outstanding ninjas I mentioned."

"Asshole, do you still believe in fate?

Compared to you who is called a genius, I have achieved what I have today entirely through my own hard work!"

Naruto retorted.

But this time, Neji did not argue with Naruto. Although it was easy to refute his point of view, Neji had already realized that Naruto was the kind of person who was stubborn and one-minded. Even if what he said made sense, he could not convince him.

Hard work? Does the chakra in your body have anything to do with hard work? Does your incredible recovery speed from injuries have anything to do with hard work?

No matter how hard you work, can you be as hardworking as Xiao Li? Do you have the guts to say in front of Xiao Li that you have no talent?

"..."

Seeing that Neci ignored him, Naruto, who was prepared to have a verbal battle with Neci for three hundred rounds, did not say anything else. He just silently watched Neci being put on a stretcher by the medical staff.

But at this moment, a figure that surprised Neji appeared in front of the stretcher.

"Miss Hinata!"

Neji was very surprised when he saw Hinata coming to check on his injuries.

"Ningji-nii, it's okay..."

In fact, Hinata took the initiative to visit Neci mainly because she didn't want to disappoint Sakura. Since Sakura had formulated a strategy for her to become the head of the family, she naturally had to cooperate with her plan and have a good relationship with Neci.

"It's ok."

Neji was also flattered. After all, he had fought with Hinata in the preliminaries and was thinking about how to repair his relationship with Hinata, but he didn't expect Hinata to come to him on her own initiative.

Sakura was right, Miss Hinata is so kind.

But at this moment, the voice of Shiranui Genjian came:

"The captured birds, if they are smart enough, should be able to peck open the cage with their own beaks, because they still have hope of flying in the air again.

You are the loser this time."

Xuanjian's words made Neji fall into deep thought, and the people around who heard Xuanjian's words also felt that his words made sense.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Xuanjian finishes this wave of pretending, he should be able to show his face in front of politicians from various countries.

However, who could have thought that something that was seemingly a sure thing would turn out to be unexpectedly unsuccessful.

His words were fiercely refuted, but the one who refuted him was not Neci, but the seemingly obedient Hinata.

“So, if the bird is locked up, is it because he is not smart enough?

Shouldn't the fault be the person who catches the bird or the cage that confines the bird?

I really don’t agree with what examiner Shiranui said.”
