Chapter 56 The Tattooed Boy Who Lacks Love

Chunin Exam?

Naruto thought about it again: Chunin Exams, you heard me right.

Chunin Exam?

Judging from their age and strength, are they being selected as Chunin?

But why are there ninjas from other villages?

Suddenly, a phrase popped into Naruto's mind: the Nine Schools Joint Examination!
What Nine Schools Joint Examination? Five Schools Joint Examination? Naruto awakened his ancient memories. Because his high school had a good reputation, he seemed to have been passively involved in all of them during his high school years.

Although nothing else changes except the exam paper, just hearing the names of the "Five Schools Joint Entrance Examination" and the "Nine Schools Joint Entrance Examination" sounds impressive.

By analogy with the National Joint Examination, Naruto could perhaps understand the Chunin Exams.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, an opportunity came my way; I was worried about not having a chance to make a name for myself.

This exam was practically tailor-made for Naruto Uzumaki.

What's with the Chunin Exams?

This was clearly the stage for Naruto to showcase his strength!
This time, Naruto Uzumaki is going to make a stunning debut and become the sole protagonist on the stage!
Show off your skills!

I declare to the world: I, Naruto Uzumaki, have arrived!

At this moment, Temari seemed to remember that she had a younger brother. She immediately ran over and pulled Kankuro out from inside the wall.

"Don't move, cough cough, my bones are broken~" Kankuro cried out in pain, coughing up a pool of blood.

Naruto glanced at them, feeling rather embarrassed.

"When friends come from afar, should we break their bones first?" This is not the way a great Eastern nation treats its guests.
However, this is absolutely not his fault; it's their fault for bringing Konohamaru right from the start.

This is his dearest younger brother.

It's not that you can't beat them up, but you'll have to pay extra.

"For you guys."

Naruto tossed a Xiaoyao Pill over.

Number 16, Xiaoyao Wan, can restore 625 HP, which is just right for a Genin like them who have reached the Great Perfection stage.

Temari raised her hand and caught it precisely. She saw that it was a red dumpling with the number 16 marked on it.

As the eldest daughter of the Kazekage, she naturally recognized what it was.

Although Sunagakure was poor, the Kazekage still gritted his teeth and purchased a lot of "Xiaoyao Pills" for this exam.

But homemade meatballs never taste as good as other people's.

"Kankuro, eat quickly, it's No. 16 Xiaoyao Red Pill."

After eating, with two cracking sounds, his bones automatically corrected themselves, and in no time, Kankuro was fully recovered.

It's hard to say how effective Xiaoyao Pills are for other ailments, but for internal and external injuries caused by attacks, they're practically a miracle cure.

Kankuro glared hatefully at Naruto, eager for revenge. He even touched the crow with his hand, but when he remembered the guy's monstrous strength, he instantly cowered.

"What? You still want to take action?"

Sasuke stepped out from the side, holding two stones in his hands, the warning in his hand was very clear.

Upon seeing Sasuke, Temari's eyes lit up again.

Why are there so many handsome guys in Konoha?
Unlike Sunagakure, which is full of strangely dressed rough men.

and who are you?

Kankuro knew he couldn't beat the blond kid from before, but you? He gripped the crow tightly again.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly looked up at the big tree and sensed that sand containing chakra was gathering there.

In an instant, a figure appeared.

"Kankuro! Stop! You're a disgrace to the village!"

"I love you, Gaara."

Seeing the guy called Kankuro sweating nervously, Naruto wondered if this newcomer was really that scary.

Let's perceive it again.

Is this violent chakra from a tailed beast?
So you're a Jinchūriki too.

Naruto sized up the newcomer, a red-haired guy who seemed unusually friendly, with a "love" tattooed on his forehead, heavy dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept, and a huge gourd on his back.

This tattoo... how desperate for love do you have?

However, if he's a Jinchūriki, this guy's strength should be quite formidable.

Naruto marked the chakra first, and then he would experience their strength if they could match up later.

Since there was nothing else to do, Naruto prepared to leave, but Konohamaru insisted on playing ninja games with him, which left Naruto feeling helpless.

"Hey, what's your name?" Little Red Hair suddenly called out to him.

"Naruto Uzumaki, what about you?"

"Gaara." "Okay, I look forward to seeing you in the exam hall!" Naruto was quite sincere; he really wanted to have a go at Gaara's place.

They've even sent a Jinchūriki; Sunagakure must have gone to great lengths.

Sasuke, standing nearby, was quite indignant: Why didn't you ask my name?

Am I not good enough for you?
at the same time.

Kakashi and a group of Jonin in charge of their classes were summoned, and the Hokage officially announced that the Chunin Exams would be held in a week.

With greetings from the Third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kakashi Hatake each recommended their own genin to participate in the upcoming Chunin Exams.

This decision shocked many of the other ninjas in charge.

Generally speaking, newly graduated ninjas usually take the Chunin Exams in their second year after graduation, and this has been the case for the past five years.

But this year's freshmen were all recommended by their teachers to participate in the Chunin Exams?

Isn't this just about saving face while disregarding the students' abilities?
"Please wait!"

Iruka stepped forward urgently and loudly rebuked them, "They are all just newly graduated genin. Although they are very talented, it is too early and too cruel for them to participate in the Chunin Exams!"

"Do you want to ruin these children?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi was quite helpless.

Iruka hasn't updated his data in ages; his version is way outdated.

Are the children he talks about still children?

Naruto: I could take on at least 100 Irukas.

Sasuke: He could take on 10 Irukas.

Even Sakura: can beat Iruka.

You, Iruka, are a Chunin, so why can't those kids be?
After the mediation of three new Jonin and Iruka's efforts, the Hokage agreed to give these new students a special exam.

Time flips, a few days later.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all received Chunin Exam registration forms from Kakashi.

The three people have different thoughts.

Sakura doesn't seem very confident.

Naruto wanted to tell her that strength depends on who you compare yourself to. It's like taking an exam. Naruto and Sasuke both get 100 points, while Sakura only gets 80 points, which makes her feel inferior.

Let's take a look at the other classes.

Goodness, a bunch of students failed, with scores of 50 and 60 flying everywhere.

Sakura, you're the boss!

There's no need for Naruto to persuade her about this; Sakura will immediately regain her confidence after a fight during the exam.

The three parted ways, and Sakura, anxious, didn't even mention asking Sasuke to go on a date before going home alone.

Sasuke also disappeared, seemingly to go for extra training.

Naruto was wandering around aimlessly when he reached the riverbank, where he saw his three underlings playing ninja games again.

"Naruto, let's play together."

Naruto looked up at the sky. It seemed to be only a little past nine o'clock. He did have some free time, but he couldn't say he was free.

These kids must be playing ninja games with him, and they'll probably play all day long.

Last time he was tricked and ended up getting bored after playing with the kids all day because of their enthusiasm.

I'd rather stay home and sleep, and maybe even play cards with that lousy gambler, Nine-Lama.

If we increase the stakes, we can definitely beat them up for a whole day.

"Sorry, I guess I'll have to go cultivate next?"

"What? You can't come play the ninja game with us?" Konohamaru was extremely disappointed. Last time, the game was a hundred times more fun because his older brother was there.

"It's only nine o'clock, don't you guys have to go to school?"

"But prison lord, it's the weekend today."

Um... really?

After graduation, he stopped paying attention to what day of the week it was.

Unless it's Thursday.

Suddenly, a strange ninja wearing a Rainbow headband appeared and tried to kidnap Moegi.

But when he tried to jump up again, he found that his feet were firmly bound by ropes made of soil.

"Teacher Iruka, what are you doing?"
