Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 63 I was here first!

The beige-haired girl tiptoed and gently pushed open the door. Her clear eyes seemed to show her secret joy at the success of her prank.

The door handle made a slight sound when she twisted it gently, and the slightly heavy door made a crisp creaking sound when she pushed it carefully, which made her more careful.

As the door was pushed open little by little, the girl named Yamanaka Ino was thinking about giving her best friend a surprise.

However, the scene before her made her freeze in place.

The pink girl was lying quietly on the bed and sleeping...

But what is that 'unknown creature' next to her that's like a red octopus almost wrapped around Sakura?
The moment the door was pushed open, the pink girl opened her eyes instantly.

"Eh? Ino?"

Sakura was a little confused as she looked at Ino in front of her with a pursed mouth and a look of shock, grievance, dissatisfaction, and frustration, as if she had been betrayed.

It has been two days since she entered the central tower. Because the second stage of the Chunin Exam lasts for seven days, all candidates who arrived early must stay in the tower obediently during this period.

So the dormitories here were arranged for two people to share a room, and Sakura naturally shared a room with Karin.

"Sakura..."

Ino pouted as she looked at Sakura, who was bewildered. She pointed at Karin and said with an aggrieved look:

"who is she!"

Sakura sat up from the bed, put aside Karin's arm that was hanging on her, put on her slippers, pulled Ino out of the room, and closed the door gently when she left.

The moment the door was closed, Karin opened her eyes.

-

"Sakura!"

"Who is that guy!?"

"You actually live in the same house!"

Ino looked at the pink girl in pajamas in front of her and suddenly became furious.

Damn it!
I've never lived in the same house with Sakura!
Someone actually got there first!

I was obviously here first!

Ino gritted her teeth and looked at the girl in front of her.

Sakura scratched her head, feeling a little overwhelmed. She had an inexplicable feeling that there seemed to be a raging fire behind Ino.

And this feeling...

Sakura looked at the other person in confusion, and then threw away the messy thoughts in her mind.

I am a man who is determined to become a left-over fighter.

Oh, this meaningless thing can't restrain myself at all!
Sakura threw away the messy thoughts in her mind.
"Ino, listen to my explanation."

Sakura looked at the girl in front of her seriously.

The other person's clothes were still a little dirty, and it was obvious that he had just arrived at the Central Tower and came to find him the first time.

"I won't listen!"

Sakura: (°Δ°`)? ? ?

-

After some persuasion, Sakura finally calmed Ino down and returned to the house feeling a little tired and got back into bed.

I am obviously a girl, why should I appease another girl because of one girl?
Sakura didn't understand. This strange angle of thinking was something she had never thought of before.

Lying back on the bed, Karin placed her arm around Sakura.

Glancing at Karin beside her, Sakura's emerald eyes flashed with helplessness.

Even though I have been prepared for it.

But Karin is so clingy.

As time went by, three days passed in a flash and the seven-day second phase of the exam finally ended.

During these three days, all the Twelve Young Warriors of Konoha were present, and Karin got to know the Twelve Young Warriors under the guidance of Sakura.

It's just that Ino doesn't like Karin, and Karin silently endures Ino's nitpicking because of Sakura. However, with Karin's personality, it's estimated that it won't take long for her to show her true colors. After all, she is also a restless person...

Sakura could imagine that the days to come would probably be even more lively.

In the central tower, all the candidates who passed the Death Forest have gathered at this moment, and the leading ninjas from each ninja village are already in the corridor on the second floor.

The leader is naturally the host, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sakura took a quick glance and found that the unlucky trio of Sound Ninja who ran into Naruto and Sasaka were also here.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the podium and glanced at the purple diamond mark on Sakura's forehead without saying a word. Then he looked away and began to explain the purpose of this Chunin Exam.

When people get older, they tend to talk a lot. Sakura listened with a blank expression.

Even Naruto who was standing in front of her started to yawn.

But there was no way, she was just a 'Genin' now and could only endure it silently.

The jonin standing nearby all endured the ninja's long speech in silence with expressionless faces.

There's no need to go into such detail about things that everyone already knows, sir!

"Ahem...Hokage-sama."

"Please leave it to me next!"

Finally, a Konoha ninja with dark circles under his eyes, a pale face and a ninja sword on his back stood up.

Seeing this person, Sakura's lifeless eyes lit up slightly.

What a great protagonist of Shippuden! You are worthy of being such a great character!

"Well, well then, I'll leave it to you from now on, Hayate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smacked his lips, seeming to be unsatisfied, and it was obvious that he had not finished speaking.

"Considering that there are too many people passing the level, we will have a random one-on-one battle next. Those who give up will not affect their companions' passing."

"Anyone want to abstain?"

Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Gekkou Gale's words are much simpler and more concise.

"I abstain."

As expected, Kabuto Yakushi, who was mixed in the crowd, raised his hand directly.

Then several unknown extras gave up.

It is worth mentioning that out of the three teams of the Iwagakure Village, only one team successfully reached the central tower, which is the team that Kurotsuchi is in.

And Huitu in the team also raised his hand to abstain.

Kurotsuchi, who was in the lead, crossed his arms and didn't care about his companions' giving up.

Moonlight Gale looked at the remaining people and confirmed that no one had given up, then he directly turned on the electronic screen hanging high.

The names of all the contestants jumped rapidly on the electronic screen.

Sakura glanced at the electronic screen and didn't pay much attention.

The remaining people, apart from the Twelve Guardians of Konoha, were only two from the Iwagakure Village, three from the Sand Village, three from the Sound Village, and a few remaining extras.

Gaara was the only person present who she could take seriously.

As for Kurotsuchi of Iwagakure, he is also a slightly difficult opponent, but just that difficult.

Her range of activities was limited to a place like this dueling arena, where else could she fly?
Besides, there is no way the old man would let Sakura meet Gaara or Kurotsuchi here.

Sakura, Kurotsuchi, Gaara.

This is the shark that the three ninja villages use to fry fish.

This kind of confrontation must be held in the official competition one month later.

Soon the names of the players for the first match were announced.

Terracotta VS Gold…
