Naruto and Kaoru each received the right to live in a house in the Uchiha clan. Of course, this was something Kuzan agreed to as the current leader of the Uchiha clan.
Suddenly, he had Suzan as his 'father', Sasuke as his 'brother' and Xianglin as his 'sister' (actually Xianglin was three months older than him). Naruto was so happy that he happily carried the big bag that day.
Xiaobao moved into the Uchiha clan.
Xiang Rin was even happier. She was suddenly freed from the hell in Grass Ninja Village. She didn't have to worry about being bitten to death like her mother. Now her life in Konoha Village was like a dream. She was very concerned about the Uchiha speed who took her in.
Su Zhan also respects and even worships Su Zhan very much, and always insists on calling Su Zhan 'Master Su Zhan'.
Originally, Xiang Rin expressed a strong need to "live with Naruto", but Suzan considered that it would be too early for the Uzumaki clan to have a child, so he rejected her request and instead transferred the relationship between Xiang Rin and Naruto.
The house was allocated not far from Sasuke, so the three of them had company.
Although Sasuke didn't say anything, it could be seen that he was actually very happy.
As for the ANBU who were sent to monitor Naruto, they were naturally kept out of the Uchiha clan by Quick Cut. Over time, the Sandaime Hokage seemed to have acquiesced to the fact that Naruto lived in the Uchiha clan and stopped sending ANBU.
.
Time flies so fast, and the Uchiha clan gradually changes from a desolate and abandoned appearance to becoming somewhat popular.
The three children, Sasuke, Naruto and Kaoru, receive quick ninjutsu training every day, and use their free time to help clear weeds, and some public facilities have also been wiped clean.
The Chunin Selection Examination was not over. After the first two rounds, a preliminary round was held before the third and final round of selection because more genin were to be screened out. Naruto and Sasuke both performed well and went smoothly.
Promotion will only wait for the official competition one month later.
Seeing that the date for the final round of the Chunin Exam was getting closer and closer, Uchiha Suzan suddenly received an S-level task assigned by the village and left. Even without Suzan's supervision, the three children still did not relax and maintained
Through training and enriching the daily life of the clan.
Bang! Putting the hoeing sickle aside, Xianglin rubbed her sore shoulders, sat down between Naruto and Sasuke, took the kettle from Sasuke and said thank you.
The three of them sat side by side on the top of the tallest building in the Uchiha clan, overlooking the clan land that was gradually returning to its original appearance, and were filled with emotions.
Naruto rubbed his nose and laughed: "It turns out that cleaning is such a pleasant thing. I am always very irritable when doing weeding tasks."
"Cleaning other places definitely feels different from cleaning your own [home]." Xianglin said with a smile.
Naruto smiled even brighter. [Home], [Family], he finally got the treasure he had dreamed of.
"... Crane tail, tomorrow is the competition day." Sasuke said suddenly.
Naruto turned to look at Sasuke: "Let me tell you in advance, even if my opponent is you, I will not give in. In fact, I want to fight you most in this Chunin Exam, Sasuke."
"That's what I want to say. Don't lose to other minions in advance, otherwise I won't let you go easily." Sasuke looked at Naruto, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Xianglin raised her hands happily: "Tomorrow I will also go with Master Su Zhan to cheer for you two...ah, no!"
Alarmed that she had leaked something, Xianglin quickly covered her mouth.
"Huh? Uncle Suzhan is coming too? Isn't he on a mission?" Naruto was surprised and happy.
"Hey, Master Kuzhan didn't want me to tell you two. He will complete the mission as soon as possible and then come back to watch the game between you two."
Xiang Rin smiled proudly and said: "Master Kuzan said that you two are his outstanding disciples, and he wants to see who can be promoted to Chunin this time."
Sasuke suddenly stood up, his eyes turned into Sharingan eyes, and he looked straight at Naruto:
"Naruto, I will definitely be promoted to Chunin this time, you can't beat me."
Naruto also stood up and put his thumb on the Konoha Ninja Village forehead protector:
"That's what I said. I will win beautifully and show it to Uncle Suzhan!"
Xianglin looked left and right and saw that the two people suddenly burst out with unprecedented competitiveness and fighting spirit. She didn't understand where she said the wrong thing.
It's not like only one person can be promoted in the Chunin Exam. Did the two of them misunderstand something?
……………………
The next day, Konoha Village was in an unprecedented state of affairs.
The high-ranking officials and nobles of the Fire Country arrived at Konoha Village in sedan chairs. Both ninjas and civilians were allowed to enter the largest ring-shaped martial arts arena in the village to watch the competition. This ring-shaped martial arts arena can accommodate 7,000 spectators.
There are three magnificent and huge lofts for those of high status to enjoy the game.
The huge, deeply concave ring can withstand any normal level of ninjutsu strikes, and allows all spectators to clearly see the content of the competition inside.
Shiranui Genma and the contestants stood in the center of the venue, accepting the gaze of all the audience.
The contestants are not much different from the ones in the manga. They are still Nara Shikamaru, Aburame Shino, Hinata Neji, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara. The only difference is that the ones who were successfully promoted were originally
Toss from the Sound Ninja Village was replaced by a male genin named Santu from the Rain Hidden Village.
Seeing Shikamaru looking nervously, Shiranui reassured him: "Don't be nervous, just face the audience. The protagonists of this 'official selection' are you."
At the top of the highest loft in the center, the Third Hokage, dressed in Hokage attire, was chatting with the Fourth Kazekage who was similarly dressed but had the word "Wind" written on his hat.
"It's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work, Kazekage-sama." The Sandaime Hokage said with a smile, like a kind old man without any threat.
"No, it's great that it can be held in Konoha Village this time. But, Hokage-sama, please forgive me for talking too much..."
Kazekage was covered with the unique face scarf of Sunagakure Village, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "I think it is best for you to choose the candidate for the fifth generation as soon as possible. This will be a good thing for both Konoha Village and you."
"Hahaha! You always treat me like an old man, I think I can last another five years." The Sandaime Hokage laughed.
After a few words of greetings, seeing that all the key figures had arrived, the Sandaime Hokage walked to the stage with his hands behind his back and said loudly in a loud voice:
"Dear viewers! Thank you for coming here to watch the mass selection examination held by our Konoha Ninja Village!
Starting now, the nine genin who passed the preliminary round will take the [Formal Selection] exam.
Please enjoy watching the game!"
The battle table immediately appeared on the huge screen located at the top of the martial arts arena.
Group A——
The first game, [Kankuro] VS [Santu]
The second game, [Uchiha Sasuke] VS [Gaara]
Group B——
The third game, [Uzumaki Naruto] VS [Aburame Shino]
Game 4, [Hyuuga Neji] VS [Nara Shikamaru]
In addition, Group B also has [Temari] who has a bye and will compete with the winner of the fourth match for advancement.
Seeing the battle table displayed on the big screen, Shiranui Genma clapped his hands and motioned the nine genin to look at him:
"Okay everyone, this is the last test. Although the terrain is different, it is the same as the 'qualifiers', there are no rules of the game. The game will continue until one of the parties dies or admits defeat. When I judge that the winner has been
If you lose, you will take action to stop the game from continuing, do you understand? The first round is between Kankuro and Santu, you two stay here. The others can go to the lounge outside the venue."
Soon, only Genma Shiranui, the referee, and the two contestants were left on the field.
Kankuro's face was still painted with oil paint, and he placed the bandaged puppet next to him, ready for battle.
Opposite him was a tall, thin young man wearing a Yuyin Village forehead protector, with a nervous expression.
"The first round..."
Shiranui Genma raised his right hand high and swung it down suddenly——
