Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Chapter 313 Konoha's Twin Gatekeepers

"Is this Konoha?"

【"Lord Angel?"】

【"Um."】

"Let's go."

"Yes~"

【...】

At the same time, ninjas from various villages arrived in Konoha one after another.

After presenting the token, both gatekeepers of Konoha allowed him to pass.

Several days have flown by.

Konoha has become lively again.

However, the day suddenly became much quieter.

"Well then, the rest is up to you."

After instructing their subordinates, the supervising ninjas of each squad departed first.

[Outside the Chunin Exams venue.]

The genin from each village have already gathered.

"Let's go up too."

[I paused downstairs for a moment.]

No noteworthy genin appeared.

Naruto then led Sasuke and Sakura up to the second floor.

The moment they stepped onto the stairs, both Sasuke and Sakura frowned.

Seeing that Naruto didn't respond, they all fell silent.

[Silently following behind Naruto.]

[And after Class Seven went up to the second floor...]

【Bang--】

A muffled thud came from ahead.

Looking up, they saw a group of genin already gathered in front of the classroom with the number '301' on it.

At the same time, a figure was sent flying backward from the crowd.

The figure remained in an awkward posture after landing.

That green bodysuit was incredibly eye-catching.

Seeing the green figure covered in "scars," Sakura's eye twitched, and she casually looked away.

This is too much to bear.

[Xiao Li isn't usually like that... except when he's with Might Guy, he only becomes like Might Guy... most of the time he's pretty normal.]

This scene clearly took the three of them by surprise.

Sasuke's expression darkened slightly.

I just hope this green-skinned kid doesn't try to talk to me later; it's too embarrassing.

[Also... given their strength, caution is certainly advisable, but... is it really necessary to play dumb to outmaneuver them like this?]

The arrival of the three did not attract much attention.

Everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Li.

[Watch Xiao Li perform.]

[Just watching the drama unfold, it's the same everywhere.]

[Among the crowd, two figures immediately spotted the arrival of Class 7.]

[The two were naturally Tenten and Neji, who were forced to stop.]

His face was filled with helplessness and shame.

[Naruto and his two companions arrived.]

Tenten and Neji wished they could disappear into the ground.

[A scene of social annihilation.]

[Especially since Xiao Li was completely absorbed in his acting, occasionally pointing at his two partners and saying some cringeworthy things.]

Matt Kay: "Lee, you've improved a lot!"

Rock Lee: "Teacher Kai!"

Matt Kay: "Lee!"

Tobirama Senju: "Didn't we vote to ban them?"

Uchiha Izuna: I don't know... then let's try again.

Tobirama Senju: "Alright then."

Ding--

Chat room member Tobirama Senju initiated a poll.

......

【"hehe."】

"If this is all the trash we have, we might as well just head home."

"You don't actually think the Chunin Exams are that easy, do you?"

"Get lost. There's still a chance if you turn back now."

[At the door of classroom 301.]

Two figures stood guard on either side of the door to classroom '301'.

Both of them appeared to be young genin (low-ranking ninja).

[Wearing a leaf-patterned headband.]

[It was these two who had previously stopped the green-skinned kid at the door and given him a good beating.]

They look somewhat unfamiliar, but those who frequently visit Konoha will recognize the two boys guarding the door of classroom 301.

However, Naruto saw through this simple transformation technique at a glance.

These two are none other than the guardians of Konoha's gates, Izumo Kamui and Tetsuo Kouko.

Did you get the wrong workstation?

No, it was more like a deliberate accident.

Naruto shook his head.

[From the moment I entered the examination hall, I was already trapped in an illusion.]

"That makes sense, otherwise with so many people, the screening process would probably take quite a while."

Ultimately, it all comes down to hard power.

[“If they can’t even detect or break this kind of illusion, it’s reasonable for them to be eliminated.”]

[The genin, trapped by genjutsu, couldn't even submit their application form for the Chunin Exams.]

"Therefore... this can be considered a small way of saving face for these genin."

"Otherwise... if the first test is something like a survival exercise... then many small villages will probably face a shortage of ninja."

Naruto nodded secretly.

I'm starting to look forward to the Chunin Exams a little.

[The prototype of the relevant examination existed during the time of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and it has since been greatly improved. Although there are some minor issues, they are not serious.]

The thought settled.

Naruto raised his hand, signaling Sasuke and Sakura to be patient.

Naruto watched the three people standing under the door of classroom 301 with great interest.

The three actors did a really good job.

Okay, Leonardo DiCaprio's acting was still a bit too exaggerated.

"I...I will absolutely not give up!"

"To achieve this day...my partners and I have put in unimaginable effort..."

As Rock Lee spoke, he raised his hand, pointing tremblingly at Neji and Tenten.

Tenten and Neji's expressions changed, and they quickly dodged in the direction Rock Lee was pointing.

[Kongzi Tetsu and Kamizuki Izumo's faces darkened.]

This kid is overdoing it.

However, regardless of the circumstances, their mission can be considered complete.

[Izumo Shinzuki glanced at Kotetsu.]

The two had worked together for many years and had long since developed a tacit understanding.

[“These three are Might Guy’s subordinates, right?”]

"Three really interesting little guys."

"Although it was a bit... but thanks to this kid, the mission was accomplished."

"Those three who just came up must be from Class 7, right?"

[“Kakashi’s subordinates…I saw them once not long ago.”]

"It seems he's improved a lot as the Chunin Exams approach; even we're starting to feel a little pressure."

"If we don't work harder... we might soon be surpassed by these younger generation."

【"Hehe... Izumo, don't underestimate yourself."】

"The two of us guarding the gates of Konoha is a great training exercise in itself, and it won't be so easy for these younger ones to surpass us."

[“No matter what, we’ve deterred thieves from outside the village for many years. Otherwise, have we ever heard of anyone managing to enter through our guarded gate and commit murder?”]

【『......』】

The two exchanged glances while simultaneously observing the lower-ranking ninja from the surrounding villages.

Seeing that many lower-ranking ninjas simply ignored them and continued upstairs, he nodded secretly.

Then he kept an eye on the time.

Their mission was to stall these genin until they submitted their Chunin Exams application forms.

This is the second level after the illusion.

Even passing the second level isn't enough.

Because this is the second floor.

If you fail to see through this illusion, you will also miss the registration deadline for the Chunin Exams.

"That's enough, let's go."

"Aren't you going to wait for Li?"

[Tian Tian sighed helplessly and walked towards Class 7.]
