After coming down from the highest floor of the central tower, Naruto did not return to his room, but came to the gate of the tower.
At this moment, other teams have arrived.
"Brother Naruto!" Naruto heard someone shouting his name in the distance. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Inuzuka Kiba's Class 8. Beside them, there was Class 10 with Ino and others.
After the two teams arrived here, Naruto said hello: "Did you guys meet each other on the road?"
"More than just together." Ya laughed: "We spent a lot of effort to cross a river." As he said that, he glanced at Shikamaru and the others.
Behind Class 8 and Class 10 are the Sunagakure trio.
Gaara walked in front, with Temari and Kankuro following behind him.
When passing by Naruto, Gaara whispered: "Sooner or later I will kill you!"
Facing such threatening words, Naruto was not afraid at all.
"If you can kill me, then try it!"
Saying this, it was a tit-for-tat confrontation with Gaara.
Then, one after another came the sound ninja trio (who were released), Yakushi Kabuto's trio, the third team from the previous term, which was Neji's team, and finally there was another one, Yu.
The Ninja Village team.
This is the entire team that can reach the central tower within the limited time.
Everyone else was eliminated.
"It's really good." Asma stood on the upper floor of the tower and said while looking at the crowd of participating teams below.
Among those who successfully passed the assessment, those from Konoha were the most numerous, with five groups in total!
This means that there is no danger of talent shortage in Konoha.
Naruto thought so too.
"Konoha's foundation is really rich. Even if it is consumed like this, it can still be said to be full of talents."
"No wonder Konoha can secure its position as the number one village in the ninja world."
Think about it, if the Uchiha clan is still there, if the Hyuga clan does not implement the clan system, if the Senju clan is still there...
How terrifying and despairing this Konoha must be!
Naruto raised his head and glanced at Sunagakure's trio, and he suddenly understood why Sunagakure would agree to Konoha's collapse plan.
Because Orochimaru's proposal really hit their weakness!
Among the five major kingdoms, the Wind Country where Sunagakure is located is relatively weak, but their neighbor is the extremely powerful Konoha.
With such a powerful neighbor by his side, no one, from Feng Ying to common people, would be able to sleep well.
In addition, the environment of the Country of Wind is really bad and not suitable for human habitation, so it is easy to understand why Sunagakure will fight against Konoha.
Taking his eyes away from the Sunagakure trio, Naruto looked around and discovered a problem.
He didn't see Anko Mitarai, the examiner of the second exam.
Naruto turned his attention to Yakushi Kabuto. Mitarashi Anko was missing. This was probably Orochimaru's trick.
Naruto wanted to walk over, but was stopped by the Sandaime's words.
He forcibly dragged the sick body in front of all the candidates: "Congratulations, you have completed the second exam."
"The next step is the third exam."
"The third exam will not be held here!"
Naruto was shocked by Sandai's words.
By this point, the plot has changed a lot.
"Everyone has a week off, and the competition will be held in Konoha's Arena a week later. I believe you will win and cheer!"
The Sandaime delivered another passionate speech before leaving the sight of the candidates.
"Why does this happen? The news about Orochimaru should have been known to Konoha." Naruto was puzzled.
Logically speaking, Konoha should be cautious and cautious. Why should we make such a fuss? Isn't this just to alert the enemy?
After thinking for a while, Naruto finally figured it out.
He fell into a misunderstanding.
He knew the plot of the original work, so he knew that Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage and disguised himself as him.
But Konoha doesn’t know this information!
From Konoha's point of view, Orochimaru was clearly hiding quietly and waiting to act in secret.
Who would have thought that a leader from a foreign village could actually be disguised as an enemy.
This is the principle of "darkness under the lamp".
The other ninjas didn't know the twists and turns behind this, and their thoughts were very real.
"Great! I have to go back and have a good hot meal in a whole week!" Sakura said happily.
Then she discovered that her two teammates seemed to have no reaction.
Seeing Sakura's appearance, Ino couldn't help but feel worried about her IQ.
Sasuke and Naruto are both typical examples of how one person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry.
If you say this in front of them, it's crazy if it resonates with you.
"What should we do?" The trio of sound ninjas were now in an awkward situation.
They have been abandoned by Orochimaru, so where should they go for a week's vacation?
If he goes back to Lord Orochimaru, he might be dragged into being a test subject because of his betrayal.
But if they don't return to Orochimaru, where will the Sound Ninja trio go?
"We... might as well go and join that guy named Uzumaki Naruto." Jin said.
"No!" Sasi was very opposed to taking refuge in Naruto. But after thinking about it, no one had any other better choice.
If they are strong enough, defecting is one way to go.
It's a pity that their genin-level strength is really not enough in the entire ninja world.
"Okay, let's go back." Naruto said to Sakura and Sasuke.
"During these seven days, everyone should have a good rest, and you can also take this time to practice again." Naruto said using a proverb from his previous life: "If you sharpen your gun in battle, it will be useless if you are not happy!"
"This is quite new." Shikamaru raised his head and glanced at Naruto: "Practice is really a headache."
Naruto smiled when he heard Shikamaru's words: "With your strength, even if you don't practice in these seven days, you can still get a good ranking!"
Shadow Ninja Technique, in the hands of a highly intelligent ninja like Shikamaru, is simply a killer weapon.
"But according to your character, even if you can defeat the enemy, you don't want to bother with it!" Naruto joked again.
Shikamaru nodded his head lightly, but he didn't expect Naruto to know him so well: "Ah, I don't like to be pushy."
Ya's hand hugged Shikamaru fiercely from behind: "Then leave this kind of limelight thing to me!"
"I'm planning to get second place in the Chunin Exam!"
Choji, who was stuffing potato chips into his mouth, raised his own question: "Tooth, why don't you just go for the first place?"
"First place?" Ya said this and just shook his head: "I don't have the confidence to compete with Brother Naruto. Teacher Hong has said that Naruto's strength has completely surpassed all the genin of our generation."
Hinata Neji from the third class walked past this group of people. When he heard Kiba's words, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Beyond all the genin?" Neji looked at Naruto: "I hope you can let me use all my strength."
Naruto faced Neji's aggressive gaze and smiled slightly: "I won't let you down."
