01.

Gaara looked at the closed door and said, "He's angry."

"Yeah, I was offended by you and me." Naruto said.

"Why are you angry?" Gaara asked.

"After all, they are his family, and many members of Hinata's family are also innocent. He can't kill others for his own sake," Naruto said.

“Why kill someone if not for yourself?” Gaara asked.

"Who knows?" Naruto shrugged. "Maybe it's for the village? For the family?"

Gaara is still expressionless, but Naruto can feel his snort at this sentence.

"He's angry, did I trouble you?" Gaara asked.

"It's okay, Neji is actually very easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry about it." Naruto paused, "I will be very happy if you can get along well with him."

"I see." Gaara said, I don't know if he listened or not, anyway, he always has that expression.

Next, Gaara and Naruto discussed the details of the war. Gaara wanted to negotiate with the daimyo. First, within the scope of the land of winds, all forces that were not loyal to the daimyo (specifically, they did not pay tribute) were conquered. over and over.

"I will propose a long-term mission with Konoha... I hope you can come over, and do you have any recommended candidates?" Gaara asked.

"How long are you going to go on?" Naruto asked.

"In the land of the wind, a conservative estimate is one year." Gaara said.

"If you can invite Ikacho, it will definitely be the best result, but it is impossible for Jonin to carry out such a long-term mission with you, unless it is diplomatic assistance." Naruto said, "You need to think carefully about this. I don't understand politics..."

"Then I'm a ninja." Gaara said, "But after this time, you will all be ninja."

"It should be." Naruto nodded, "I recommend Tomomi Fujiyu, Sakura Haruno, and Hinata Hinata."

"Hinata Hinata is the eldest lady of the Hinata family." Gaara said.

"The Hyuga family has given up on Hinata Hinata, and most of the other ninjas have family ties that make it difficult to participate in the war." Naruto explained, "And Haruno Sakura is a disciple of the contemporary Hokage."

"With such an identity, will she come?" Gaara said.

"As long as Hinata Hinata comes, she will definitely come." Naruto said.

"Hinata Hinata." Gaara repeated the name.

"It needs Neji's persuasion," Naruto said.

"Understood." Gaara also understood the meaning of Naruto's recommendation, and then Gaara glanced at Naruto and said, "You, Fujio Tomomi, Haruno Sakura, Hinata Hinata...Okay, Neji now I'm going to find him outside."

"He's still angry," Naruto reminded.

"You said he's easy to get along with." Gaara said so, and then walked outside, "Sit down for a while, I'll call you later."

"Okay." Naruto had no choice but to sit back.

02.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the wind is also getting stronger. The snow is flying like torn cotton wool, hitting the windows and making waves.

Sasuke watched the wind and snow outside the window, feeling a little impatient.

"I want to go out for a walk." He got up suddenly and said so.

Jun Malu in the corner stood up and followed silently.

Sasuke's hand was already on the doorknob, he glanced back at Kimaro, and then returned to his seat.

Shiro, who was flipping through the book over there, looked up at Sasuke, "Aren't you going out?"

"I'm not interested anymore." Sasuke said lightly, then he went to the bed and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Sasuke knew that Orochimaru sent Junmaro to monitor him, but he knew it but couldn't get rid of him. After all, Orochimaru was not a fool, and he could see some of Sasuke's thoughts after such a long time.

I feel really bad.Sasuke thought to himself.

Bai closed the book, smiled slightly, and said, "Today's snowstorm is really heavy."

"Yeah." Sasuke replied absent-mindedly.

"It reminds me of my hometown," Bai said.

"Really?" Sasuke said, still uninterested.

"I want to go out for a walk." Bai continued, he got up and tied his hair with a hair tie, and then said, "Sasuke-kun, Junma Lu-kun, do you need to bring anything?"

"No need." Jun Ma Lu said.

Sasuke took a deep look and said, "You know what I want to bring."

"Okay." Bai said with a smile, "Is the three-color meatball okay?"

"Okay." Sasuke said, then he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed again, "Don't make me wait too long."

"Haste makes waste, Sasuke-kun." Shiro put on a coat and said.

"You talk too much." Sasuke said.

Bai smiled and pushed open the door, then walked out and disappeared into the snowy night.

03.

Gaara and Neji didn't keep Naruto waiting for too long, they opened the door and walked in after a while.Both of them were covered with snowflakes, and the two of them had a light temperament, taking advantage of the snow made them feel even better.Naruto touched his chin, feeling that this scene was quite pleasing to the eye.

Ning Ci's expression was fine, and the two of them didn't seem to be arguing...but with their personalities, they couldn't quarrel either.Although Gaara has a tyrannical side, his overall personality is actually quite bland, somewhat similar to Neji.

"Are you finished?" Naruto asked, standing up from the sofa.

Gaara nodded.

"What's going on?" Naruto turned around and took a towel over there. At first, he handed it to Gaara, but the sand fell to the ground slippery with snowflakes, and then got into Gaara's gourd. Naruto withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and handed the towel to Neji.

Ning Ci took the towel, wiped the snow off his head briefly, and replied, "I will suggest Hinata to go, but it's up to her whether to go or not."

Naruto walked behind Neji and helped him shake the snow off his body. The snowflakes melted in the palm of his hand and took away the warmth. He couldn't help but said, "It's snowing outside... I thought you wouldn't want Hinata to go, It was war after all."

"This is the only chance to see Hinata take over as Patriarch Hyuga at the moment." Neji explained.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, "It's true...you really care about her, but is this what she thinks?"

"Her thoughts are very drifting, but in general, as a brother, I hope she is well." Ning Ci said, "I will give her my advice... well, don't touch me, the snow will melt later gone."

"Okay, okay." Naruto withdrew his hand and said, he remembered what happened to Sakura, and felt that it was not good to keep Neji away, so he said, "But before that, I have to tell you something." He He stopped talking halfway, and said, "Let's go back tonight and talk about it."

"Okay." Ning Ci nodded.

Gaara looked at them until after their current conversation came to an end, Gaara said, "Want to go for a walk?"

"...Is it so romantic?" Naruto looked at the wind and snow outside, a little lazy.

"Then let's go." Gaara looked at Neji.

Ning Ci nodded.

Naruto immediately said, "Let's go, let's go together, brothers, let's go together."

Neji glanced at Naruto and shook his head.

And Gaara said, "Didn't you just say that you and Neji are not brothers and companions, but he is a special existence that you care about very much?"

Naruto: "...can you stop mentioning this?!"

"So you're deceiving me." Gaara continued to speak calmly.

Hey, hey, are you just this curious baby? !

Naruto showed a desperate expression for a moment.

"Okay." Ning Ci changed the subject, "Let's go for a walk together and have a late-night snack."

Now that the wind and snow outside are a little lighter, this sentence is not too abrupt.

Naruto moved over gratefully, "As expected, Neji, you are the best." Neji shook his head and said nothing.

Gaara asked Sand Shinobi to send three umbrellas, and they went out holding the umbrellas.In fact, there is no need for an umbrella, but Gaara likes to hold an umbrella, so everyone just let him go.

However, it feels quite romantic for a few people to hold umbrellas and walk on the street on a snowy night.

It was late at night, and every house was lit with lights.The red lanterns at the door swayed in the wind, lighting up and darkening the surrounding small pieces of snow, which was quite interesting.The warm yellow light also renders the snow at the door into the same color, which looks very beautiful.

"Sometimes this feeling makes people think of the word forever." Naruto said, reaching out to catch Snowflake.

Gaara thought about it inexplicably, and said, "What does it mean that snow will always fall?"

Naruto: "Pfft...that's not what I mean."

"Is that night...?"

"Nah……"

My love Luo really has no romantic cells at all!In other words, many common sense things have zero reserves...

Ning Ci coughed lightly, "How do you feel now? Naruto."

"It's helpless." Naruto said.

"Everyone often feels the same way about you," Ning Ci said.

"What?" Naruto said in shock, "Am I that stupid?"

Neji: "..."

Gaara thought for a while, then said slowly, "I can tell, you're calling me stupid."

Naruto: "...listen to my explanation... cough cough cough."

Ning Ci closed his eyes in pity.

So Naruto was beaten by Gaara.

Congratulations to Naruto for achieving the achievement of [Being beaten by everyone around him].Clapping clapping.

04.

Generally speaking, supper is relatively light. After entering an izakaya, Ning Ci ordered winter solstice pumpkin, boiled radish and lotus root wheat noodles for them.

"There is a folklore that eating lotus root, carrots, and pumpkin together brings good luck." Neji said, "It can be considered as wishing us a smooth promotion to Chunin."

"Yes." Gaara nodded.

"But it's fun to have people messing around like last time," Naruto said.

Gaara looked at Naruto lightly, "Are you talking about me?"

"Cough cough cough..." Naruto almost spat out, "I mean Orochimaru."

Neji closed his eyes in pity again.

我爱罗揍人一回生来回熟_(:3∠)_

Ten minutes later, Naruto was eating his supper quietly, while Gaara and Neji were talking from time to time.

The pumpkin here is cut into small pieces and dipped in plum sauce with turnips, which has a special flavor.After a while, Naruto was attracted by the good taste here.The boiled radish here is also delicious, with a soft and delicate texture and a unique sweetness, which feels great when you bite into it.

It is rumored that eating boiled radishes from temples can prevent colds, so at first many people came to temples to ask for boiled radishes in winter.

The door of the izakaya opened, and the cold wind blew in.

"Welcome." The store owner said, "What would you like to order, this guest?"

"Are there any three-color balls?" It was a very gentle male voice.

Naruto looked up, and the person who came was actually an acquaintance.

"Yo, Water Without Moon White." He said.

"Long time no see, Naruto-kun." Minazukishiro smiled slightly, and then walked towards them.

"See you today." Naruto said.

"But I never had a chance to say hello to Naruto-kun," Bai said.

"Where we stand, there is nothing we can do for the time being." Naruto said, "Besides, we don't know each other's thoughts?"

"Are you saying that I might take revenge on you?" Bai smiled and said something terrifying.

"Maybe I was the one who killed you." Naruto said.

"Oh, Naruto-kun is really scary." Bai said.

"It's just for self-protection." Naruto said with a shrug.

At this time, the boss brought the three-color balls that Bai wanted, but Bai didn't eat them, but asked the boss to pack them.Naruto stared at the three-color ball for a long time, and suddenly said, "Did you bring this for Sasuke?"

"Yes." Bai said with a nod.

"Let's change it. You give me this three-color meatball. You bring some tomatoes back to Sasuke. He eats tomatoes so cute. He must be very happy to see them." Naruto said.

"Eh? Is that so?" Bai slightly opened his eyes wide.

"That's right." Naruto nodded.

So Bai did as Naruto said, and gave Naruto the three-color balls. Naruto, Gaara, and Ningji ate them separately, and then brought a bag of tomatoes to Sasuke.

After finishing this series, Naruto thought that Minazuki Haku was going to leave-after all, it seemed that this was just a chance encounter, but Shiro returned to Naruto directly, and even said something very dangerous directly, "There is a I want to talk to Naruto-kun, but can these two people be trusted?"

"Okay." Naruto said without hesitation.

"Kimaru was sent by Orochimaru to monitor me and Sasuke. If possible, let him be injured in the next game, otherwise Sasuke will be unable to move." The smile on Shiro's face disappeared, and he said so calmly and quickly, "It's best to leave no trace, and it can't be Naruto-kun, otherwise it will attract suspicion."

"I see." Naruto's expression became serious, he paused, and looked at Gaara, "Then this matter will trouble you."

Gaara nodded, "Yes."

Gaara would be the most suitable person if it were to hurt someone, but he looked like a violent guy who would strike at the slightest disagreement.

05.

Bai returned to the hotel with a bag of tomatoes.

Sasuke opened his eyes, ready to meet his three-color ball, and then...

"...Why this?"

"What happened to the tomato?" Bai asked suspiciously.

The corner of Sasuke's mouth twitched, "Who did you meet?"

Bai had an epiphany, and then smiled slightly, "Guess."

Over there, Jun Ma Lu raised his ears, thinking that he could hear some information.

Sasuke glanced at Junmaro and almost gritted his teeth.

"Don't Sasuke-kun like tomatoes?" Bai said, "Because I suddenly wanted to eat tomatoes, so I bought them on my own initiative."

So Sasuke could only force himself to eat two tomatoes in order not to make Kimomaro suspect.

Then he clutched his throat and thought silently.

——It’s definitely Naruto’s fault.

—Kill him after the next meeting, really.

Shed a tear for Sasuke.

06.

The second level of the Chunin Exam is indeed underwater.

This really involves the problem of breathing. Ninjas whose Chakra attribute is water have a great advantage this time, but breathing is a very important part of ninja body art, so it is not a good idea to perform tasks underwater. It's very worrying.

"The main task is to rescue the informant at the bottom of the water," said the examiner of the second level, "and then bring the informant ashore. There are many monsters in the water... By the way, you can't kill the informant for convenience, otherwise will be directly judged as a failure."

"In any case, the idea of ​​killing the informant for the sake of convenience is a bit too scary." Fujio Zhihai shook his head and said.

Shikamaru didn't say anything, but frowned thinking about something.

"Sure enough, it's underwater," Naruto said, frowning. "Shikamaru's shadow technique won't work if you're underwater. You need to follow me closely, and I will try my best to protect you."

"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded, "I know."

As rational as he is, he will naturally not engage in unnecessary bravado.

"Sakura, what about you?" Naruto asked.

"I have studied underwater illusion, but I am afraid that some water monsters are immune to illusion." Sakura replied, "To be honest, I am not very confident, so I still need to follow Naruto."

Naruto nodded, "I understand. I'll be at the front, Shikamaru is in the middle, and Sakura is at the end. Don't separate."

"What if we separate?" Shikamaru asked.

Naruto frowned.

"Anything can happen underwater." Shikamaru interrupted Naruto, "If we separate, Naruto, you don't have to go to me or Sakura, and you should give priority to completing the task. This assessment is based on a group. Sakura and I will protect ourselves."

The underwater visibility is low, and there is no effective way to find people. Shikamaru's words seem cold, but they are actually the best way to deal with the situation.If Naruto is really looking for companions blindly, it is likely that he can neither find companions nor pass the exam.

"I see." Although Naruto frowned, he still said rationally, "I understand what you mean."

On the other side, other candidates were also discussing. Gaara walked over with Sa Yin, and he looked at Naruto and said, "I plan to do it later."

Naturally, he was referring to attacking Jun Ma Lu.

"But the bottom is bad for you, right?" Naruto asked.

"Huh?" Gaara looked at Naruto and questioned.

"The sand is wet." Naruto said.

Gaara was silent for a few seconds, then said, "...wet sand is also sand."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, "Is wet sand still sand?"

Even Sakura couldn't stand it this time.

Shikamaru shook his head, "I don't think the sand is the problem, the problem is that you are a fool."

"……Hey!"

Gaara shook his head, and Temari and Kankuro went into the water first.

——Yeah, Gaara went into the sea, he went into the sea.

——Sudden description of sand sculptures.

Naruto scratched his head, thinking about the relationship between sand and wet sand for a while.

"Naruto." Sakura yelled, interrupting his train of thought.

Sakura is naturally very eye-catching during the battle, but her sense of presence in the seventh class is a bit low-because she seldom speaks actively, and almost never asks for anything.

"What's wrong?" Naruto looked at Sakura.

"I think..." As a result, Sakura was a little hesitant.

"You want to find Hinata?" Naruto immediately understood and asked directly.

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's okay."

The examiner said that the completion of the task is counted by the group, even if Sakura does not fight side by side with them, or even stays on the shore is allowed.Objectively speaking, Hinata's group is the weakest, so it's only natural for Sakura to want to go to Hinata's place.

"Aren't you looking for Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"Not going." Sakura said, "Following you is my mission."

When she said this, the expression on her face returned to the beginning, as if she had just come out of Anbu. At this moment, she looked cold and restrained, very charming.

Looking at Sakura like this, Naruto felt inexplicably happy.

Everyone has their own pursuits, that kind of absolute rationality that puts an end to emotions...it feels so good.

Sakura has really become much stronger than before, from strength to thought, and Naruto understands that if Sakura wants to be Hokage, she is a very ninja girl.

"Well, then trust Hinata, she has supercilious eyes." Naruto said, "Come and fight with us, Squad [-] needs you."

Sakura nodded, "I understand... Please give me more advice in the future."

After experiencing this brief episode, Naruto and the three of them also went into the water. The underwater light was very dim, and the three of them were very vigilant.It turned out that it was not monsters who attacked them first, but other candidates.

The assassination technique of Wuyin Village.Naruto thought in his heart.They are far worse than Bai.

He used Kunai to block the opponent's attack at will, Shikamaru skillfully tied the opponent with his shadow, and Sakura over there gave him the final blow with his fist.

The man died very close to Naruto. Naruto was horrified to see the blood mist spreading from the water. Shikamaru was also a little horrified at the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but shook his head, wanting to say something small This girl Sakura is really too violent, but because she is underwater, she can't speak.

The biggest obstacle underwater is the inability to speak. Ninjas actually have some way of communicating in sign language, which can be learned in ninja schools. But Naruto was an existence who forgot even the transformation technique. Ah, does he memorize those sign languages?

Fortunately, Kuroro also taught him sign language back then, so it might come in handy.But Naruto has always been hard on theoretical things, so he created a set of Naruto-style body language based on Kuroro's sign language. Uh, the awkwardness of his movements made Kuroro refuse to admit that Naruto's sign language was taught by him of.

But despite the awkward movements, surprisingly everyone can understand what he means.For example, wiping your neck and rolling your eyes means killing the other party.

After eliminating the raider in Wuyin Village, Shikamaru found an underwater cave following the guidance of the map, but as soon as he entered the cave, there was a huge torrent... The three of them were actually dispersed like this.

And Shikamaru made a mouth gesture to Naruto at the last second before being washed away by the rapids——

"Informant".

Of course Naruto understood what he meant, but there was a little haze in his heart. The examiner definitely did it on purpose. He used a map to guide them here, and then washed them away with the rapids.But it would be useless to say too much right now, Naruto explored deeper into the cave by himself, but the inside was actually dry and without water.

Naruto took a long breath, planning to rest for a while.

On the other side, Shikamaru stood alone in another cave, smiling wryly at the enemies around him who were staring at them and showing their weapons.

Looks like something is going to happen.He thought so.

-

The author has something to say:

Do you still remember when Sasuke ate tomatoes and vomited when he was a child...

I was studying Junmalu's strength, and then I saw Zhang Quandan's answer on Zhihu, and I died laughing.

Question: If Junma Lu survived, how strong would he rank?

Answer: If you live to the end of the first part, you will be a shadow. If you live until Payne attacks Konoha, you will be an ordinary ninja. If you live to the ninja world war, you will be a middle nin. If you live to Boruto, he will not be able to do ninja school. .

If the author cleans him up, anyone who sees him can go up and bully him a few times.
