[Hokage] Naruko Haze

After a short rest, Naruko and the others came to the meeting place in the center of the tower.There are only [-] candidates left here, and the atmosphere is quite different from before.Everyone automatically stood in a square team, without saying a word, with serious expressions, and only looked at possible future opponents with their eyes from time to time.

Naruko looked around quietly, just in time someone in the distance also looked over.It's Hinata!Naruko suddenly smiled brightly, and winked at her, Hinata smiled shyly and softly, with a tinge of pink on her fair face.

(Thank you, Hinata!)

Naruko opened her mouth wide and made word for word, hoping that the other party could understand. Hinata was a little surprised, but quickly understood what she meant, and opened her mouth quickly, trying to express.

(No... I didn't help much, it's Naruko who worked hard.)

Naruko made a serious expression, then slightly bowed to Hinata, raised her head and continued to "speak":

(You calmed me down, otherwise I would really have been in the fear of the exam.)

Hinata blushed even more and shook her head hurriedly.

(Naruko is the one who has always encouraged me...)

Naruko laughed and clenched his fists.

(Don't be too humble, let's keep going!)

Hinata also clenched her fists and nodded vigorously.

(must!)

Naruko looked away, just in time to see Sasuke standing in front of her trembling slightly, clutching the back of his neck tightly, suddenly shocked, hurriedly pressed Sasuke's shoulder, and was about to break his hand to check the details.

"What are you doing!" Sasuke just didn't let go, and shouted in a low voice: "I said it's none of your business, let go!"

Xiao Sakura saw it from behind, and quickly said softly: "You guys are making too much noise! ​​Hokage is watching from above!"

Naruko let go unwillingly, and gave Sasuke a wronged look.Sasuke turned his face away, avoiding her gaze.

"Then I invite the third Hokage-sama to speak!"

The third Hokage Sarutobi nodded and came to the front of the seven teams.He is an old man who is nearly seventy years old. Since the Fourth Hokage sacrificed for the village 12 years ago, he has come out of the mountains again to resist the heavy responsibility of Hokage.He coughed and began to speak, his voice old but full of breath.

"This Chunin exam is actually a microcosm of the war between the allies. You have also read history. Today's allies used to be all competing enemy countries. In order to avoid unnecessary wars and lose-lose situations, countries use the Chunin exam Therefore, the big names, officials, and leaders of various ninja villages will come to watch the third exam, and you will bear the prestige of the country and fight here!"

The exam also involves the prestige of the country!Naruko suddenly felt a lot of pressure on her shoulders. As a crane tail for five years, she should, shouldn't embarrass the country, eh!

"Time is limited. In order to give the distinguished guests the most perfect battle scene, I still need to screen you before entering the third exam." The third Hokage said, and assigned a ninja to be in charge of the screening.

The ninja took the order, strode up to the candidates, and said sternly: "First of all, those who don't want to continue, please quit automatically!"

Will there be?Naruko felt that this question was a bit redundant, everyone worked hard to get here!Just as she was thinking, she heard a familiar voice: "I abstain."

Naruko looked over in disbelief, and returned a gentle smile.

"Why..." Naruko couldn't help but uttered aloud, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "Because I really suffered a lot of injuries, and I can hardly hear my ears. It's already... Naruko, you and me Let's work hard together, goodbye."

Dou turned around and left without hesitation, his departure made the rest of the candidates start to waver.

Sakura gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and said to Sasuke softly and anxiously: "Sasuke, you should quit too! You were injured in the battle before, if this continues... definitely..."

Thinking of what might happen, Sakura's heart ached, and she couldn't hold it anymore. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She pulled at the hem of Sasuke's clothes, lowered her head and said, "Please give up! I, I'm so scared to death..."

Naruko stared blankly at Sakura like this, feeling very strange in her heart.Sakura, she really likes Sasuke, will I be liked by others too?

Sasuke didn't appreciate it at all, and even showed impatience on his face, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"

"No! You have been enduring the pain all the way! I, I don't care, I want to speak out!" Sakura's voice became louder, and when she was about to say something despite her disregard, Sasuke covered her Her mouth and eyes showed threats: "Don't think I won't do anything to women! It doesn't matter to me whether I can become a Chunin, I just want to know if I am strong enough, and I want to compete with the masters here! Don't hinder me! "

Naruko at the side finally saw clearly that there were three strange black scars on the left back of Sasuke's neck.It's for this, let's make trouble like this.

Is she also a hindrance to Sasuke?He didn't want to tell her because he was afraid that she would prevent him from continuing to take the exam?Naruko felt a little sad, she thought she was very close to Sasuke, but in fact she was far away, she didn't know Sasuke well.Although I know his tragic experience, I have never put myself in Sasuke's mood. Considering him with ordinary people's thinking will only hurt the friendship between each other...

Thinking of this, Naruko sighed, raised his hands, and pressed one left and one right on the shoulders of the two people who were holding each other.

"Calm down, Sasuke, Sakura is concerned about you, that's why you're like this, put your hands down."

Naruko's gaze made Sasuke a little anxious. He put down his hand and turned his head aside: "You want to persuade me too? It's better to save yourself a little effort!"

Naruko shook her head, looked at Sakura, looked at her embarrassed face, and felt uncomfortable: "Sakura, don't cry, I will beat up Sasuke for your sake!"

This kind of Naruko-style comfort made Sakura feel better, she forced a smile to Naruko, took out a tissue to wipe away her tears.

Sasuke sneered from the side: "It's as if you can win! Yes, I also want to test your real ability!"

Naruko smiled, met Sasuke's eyes: "It's a deal!"

What is in those black eyes?It's really hard to see through.Naruko continued to stare at Sasuke, trying to discover something, but Sasuke looked awkwardly at her, and looked away, and said angrily, "Okay, let's get ready for the preliminaries!"

The pre-selection is a one-on-one individual battle. There are a total of ten rounds of competition between twenty people. The battle is not over until one party dies, loses combat effectiveness, or admits defeat. The winner will participate in the next round of examinations.A display screen is installed on the wall of the venue, and the name of the battle will appear on it.
