[Hokage] That's all

Early the next morning, after a routine warm-up, I came to the venue early. The Chunin who was waiting at the door told the contestants to go directly to the venue. Basically, they arrived at the venue at the same time as usual, except for a few early arrivals. The contestant saw Genma in the arena unexpectedly.

"Hey, Xiao Er, you are on time as always." Xuan Jian bit Qianben, turned around and greeted me.

"Teacher...how did you become an examiner?" I was stunned for a moment, and then realized why Xuanjian might be here.

"Let's explain after this matter is over." Xuanma didn't explain in detail, and turned to look at the rostrum on a high place.

Looking at the venue, neither Naruto nor Sasuke came, standing next to Shikamaru consciously formed a team.

"Your timing is really just right, really, aren't you nervous at all?" Shikamaru turned his head to the side, with a listless expression on his face.

"Well, it's okay if you came earlier." Bending his eyes and smiling, he looked up at the auditorium, and found that it was too far away to see the auditorium clearly, so he simply gave up looking for Akita and Sawano.

"Neither Naruto nor Sasuke came, tsk, this kind of game is still late, I really don't know what they think." Shikamaru pouted.

"Wow! Everyone run! There are a lot of cows rushing over!!!" Naruto's loud voice sounded, and then he rushed in panting.

"Naruto, you were almost late." Shikamaru turned around and looked at the blond boy who was out of line and out of the realm as usual.

"Ah, where's Sasuke?" Naruto got up and looked around with a dazed expression.

"Aren't the people in your team very good at being late..." Shikamaru suddenly felt a headache.

"You two, stop wandering around, and stand up and look at the audience." Xuanjian finally sighed helplessly. "The protagonists of the official exam are you."

When the time came, the audience on the stage became excited. Naruto and Shikamaru were stunned for a while, and straightened their figures. Genma is actually better at coaxing children, after all, Sawano is there.

From far away on the rostrum, a figure in a blue cloak could barely be seen approaching.

"Then there's no problem." Xuanma turned around.

"Well, I have a problem... Sasuke hasn't come yet, what should we do?" Naruto still cared about his teammates.

"If he hasn't come by the time of the game, he can only be counted as abstaining." Xuan Jian bit Qianben in his mouth to make sure there was no other problem. "The rules of the official competition are the same as those of the qualifiers. The rule is that there are no rules until one party loses or dies. When I think it is unnecessary to continue, I will stop the game and not resist. You understand."

The rules were read out again to see that no one raised any objections.

"Then, in the first round, Naruto Uzumaki will fight Neiji Hinata, and the others will watch from the stage over there."

"Naruto, come on." He smiled at the blond boy with curved eyes.

"Oh! Don't worry! Er!" Naruto gave me a thumbs up.

He nodded to Xuanjian, and went to the viewing platform with this team. These children born in Konoha grew up at a surprising speed.

Perhaps because of the name Konoha, the seeds will take root and germinate sooner or later, gradually grow, and finally become a towering tree, blooming the most dazzling side.

The longer I stay, the more I like it here. If there is one place in this world that can be called "home", maybe it is here.

As soon as he came to the stands, he saw Naruto rushing up directly, and Shikamaru on the side was suddenly at a loss.

"Did Naruto really think about countermeasures..." Shikamaru couldn't help covering his face.

"After all, he is the No. 1 ninja by accident, so there will always be a backup." He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"It's really troublesome, why are my opponents all women who look so dangerous." Shikamaru followed and looked at the sky.

"Well, you should be lucky to be assigned to Group B." Looking at the decadent Shikamaru, he raised the corners of his mouth. "There is no sand ninja and no Sasuke."

"That's right for you to say so. It doesn't look too bad... It's no wonder, there are two sand ninjas in this group, and it doesn't matter whether it's Otonin's guy, Shino or you, it's hard to deal with." Shikamaru Once again, he accurately analyzed his terrible situation.

"It's better than being killed directly, let's start, let's watch the game." He rolled his eyes helplessly. "I said, why on earth did you come to take the Chunin exam? This is very troublesome."

"Yeah, I'm in trouble." Shikamaru continued.

"You guys, be quiet." Zhi Nai on the side said something.

He and Shikamaru looked at each other, shrugged, and turned their eyes to the field.

Shadow □□jutsu has obviously become Naruto's best ninjutsu, but there is no chance of winning in a competition with Neji.

Maybe he only found out about Ning Ci's life experience when he knew about the preliminaries, and he didn't have time to chat with Kai during the preliminaries, but at that time, Ning Ci's emotions were evasive and cowardly.

Among the contemporaries, only Li and Ningci thought it necessary to fight. Perhaps as contemporaries, I also have some so-called competitive spirit, but the cowardice displayed by Ningci that day may have stimulated me.

I was just being cowardly and fearful all the time.

It seems a little difficult to control emotions now, and some things, perhaps acting out, become real.

This is probably what Yankong said, hope.

Humans learn from imitation.

Naruto, who can only use melee attacks, obviously couldn't defeat Neji, and soon fell into a disadvantage. He stretched out his chakras and observed the situation off the court. Neji's judgment and physical skills were obviously superior to Naruto's. Go up, but obviously did not expect Naruto to use the shadow as bait to attack.

The attack displayed by Naruto is a belief that he will never give up and a fighting instinct that seems to be born.

It's really enviable. Talent is something that cannot be envied.

Just like the fireball that took two weeks to learn, Sasuke can fully master it in only one week.Naruto possessed the combat intuition honed in countless assassinations despite his lack of experience.

They may all be favored children.

The chakra thread in my hand suddenly rolled back, another kind of chakra appeared in my perception, unlike the gentle chakra cultivated by myself, this kind of chakra is more irritable and dangerous, if I want to describe it... and I love The chakra on Luo is very similar, but stronger.

This is an area I don't know, beyond my knowledge of current events.

It is probably a higher level of power, which may not belong to the category that ordinary people can know.

But no matter what, Naruto is still Naruto, the scorching sun and a glimmer of hope.

It was the first ray of light in my life.

However, Naruto is probably the only person who can think of digging a hole with his bare hands to attack. He is really worthy of the title of unexpected No. 1 ninja.

Xuanma announced Naruto's victory, and there was applause from the audience. That immature boy finally got people's approval at this moment.

Congratulations, former crybaby.

"Hey, Xiaoer, has anyone ever told you that you're laughing stupidly?" Seeing the result, Shikamaru turned his head and mocked.

"No, only people say that my smile is ugly." Withdrawing the expression on his face.

"Really, that guy actually won. I thought that guy was as unpopular as me." Shikamaru frowned, with a sad face.

"Unpopular faction?" Shino on the side asked doubtfully.

"Everyone is screaming at him now, it's such a hit." Shikamaru looked at him and finally sighed. "And I probably won't be able to beat him either, which is really sad."

"I remember when the second exam started, you said that if you want to get the scroll, you can only go to someone who is weaker than you. I remember you said that only Naruto and his team were in the team." The corners of your mouth were raised in mockery.

"Hmm... time has really changed." Shikamaru bowed again in frustration.

"I'll take a look at Ning Ci." Seeing Ning Ci being carried down on a stretcher, he remembered that there were still some things he hadn't said.

"Sasuke hasn't come yet, aren't you worried about Sasuke?" Shikamaru was stunned.

"Even if he can crawl, he will come." He waved his hand and walked towards the medical room.

When I arrived at the medical room, I just saw the patriarch of the Hyuga clan come out of the medical room. He nodded slightly as a courtesy.

The other party glanced at me, seemed to be surprised, then nodded politely, and looked away.

I don't know the reason for the suspicious eyes at that moment. I hope that the biological mother who escaped from the family will not have too much interaction with the patriarch, otherwise it will be more troublesome.

He knocked on the door of the rest room, and after entering the door, he saw that Neji seemed to be able to sit up, and his expression changed.

Maybe their patriarch said something.

"Er? I didn't expect you to come to see me." Ning Ci turned his head.

"I said some exaggerated things" smiled at the person in front of me, although I originally hoped that he could cheer up. "I wanted to take a look at it. I was afraid that you would fall headlong after losing to Naruto."

Looking up at the sky outside the window, he exhaled gently.

"But it seems that you have found your own path, and you are not as confused and cowardly as you were then."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a person who would worry about others." Ning Ci also smiled, which was an expression he rarely showed when we met. "You're right, the original me was really short-sighted, but now I have seen the road in front of me clearly."

"That's good, I'll go back to watch the game, Sasuke's game is not to be missed." It seems that the previous worries were unnecessary, this kid didn't go to the end like Sasuke.He waved his hand and turned to leave.

"And you, El."

"what?"

"You seem to have some things you can't see clearly."

"...Well, maybe it is."

"Father told me that my own destiny is to be developed by my own hands. Let me pass it on to you now."

"...Thank you so much, take a good rest."

Is my own destiny really like what this old-fashioned family like Hinata said.

Maybe, I can also carve out my own destiny?

I still can't really see that, even with those eyes.

Maybe... yes?

Who knows about this kind of thing.
