Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Kakashi...where are we going?"

[Mattkey said somewhat reluctantly.]

Kakashi glanced at him.

"Where is my guide to youth?"

"It's mine!" Matt Kay frowned.

"Fine, it's yours, come with me."

"Oh." Might Guy followed Kakashi like a thief.

He didn't ask anything else; he just did whatever Kakashi told him to do.

【"plum!"】

Before leaving with Kakashi, Might Guy still offered encouragement to Team 3.

[Well... to be precise, it's for Rock Lee.]

"Teacher Kai!"

Rock Lee immediately gave Might Guy a thumbs-up, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Soon, Class 3 joined forces with Class 7.

"Class 10 and Class 8 arrived a long time ago; they've probably been waiting for us for quite a while."

"Go inside."

[Open the examination room door.]

Several people entered.

When Team 7 and Team 3 entered the examination hall, they were greeted by a large group of genin.

Fortunately, almost everyone was wearing a headband, so their origins were easily recognizable.

【but.】

Class 7 and Class 3 are clearly slower than the others.

They came in together.

As soon as they entered the examination room, the eyes of more than a hundred people immediately turned to them.

[Many of them have fierce, cold eyes filled with murderous intent.]

As the host, Konoha naturally faces hostility from the genin who have come to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams.

"Wow, so many people!" Rock Lee blinked.

Being watched by so many people all at once, even he couldn't immediately get excited.

"Hmph!" Neji snorted coldly.

A pair of white eyes swept over the few low-ranking ninjas whose eyes were filled with murderous intent.

As far as the eye could see, there were quite a few genin who could meet Neji's Byakugan gaze, but not many.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly.

[I found the target accurately at first glance.]

Meanwhile, in the back row, Kankuro narrowed his eyes slightly, meeting Sasuke's gaze.

"It's him!" Temari's eyes lit up as she looked at Naruto.

【hateful!】

Don't look!

Sakura immediately became alert.

Noticing that the female ninjas' gazes were fixed on Naruto, she immediately tried to pull him to find a seat.

【"Darling~"

Just then, a golden figure pounced.

Sakura: "..."

【Well boar! 】

A soft, fragrant young girl bumped into him.

Naruto said with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "Aren't you ashamed?"

Ino blinked her big eyes, feigning innocence.

"Hey, Ino, watch your image a little," Shikamaru said helplessly.

"What does it matter?" Ino retorted.

Shikamaru: "..."

"Whatever you want." What else could Shikamaru say?

But he quickly smiled again, "Everything went smoothly."

Naruto nodded. "There's still plenty of time. No need to rush to make a statement."

Shikamaru's smile faded, and he nodded. "I understand. I'll tell them."

The group seemed oblivious to the sharp gazes of the others, continuing their conversation as if no one else was around.

Sasuke glanced around and let out a cold laugh.

Everyone here is trash!

【Naruto-kun~】

At this moment, Class 8 also came over.

Now, everyone's attention was focused on that spot again.

The Konoha Twelve have all gathered.

[And within the arena, no genin could ignore them.]

[The situation seemed to have unwittingly transformed into a standoff between the Konoha Twelve and all the other ninja present.]

"Looks like we weren't exposed that day." From the crowd, the hunched-over Toth Kindred gave a sinister smile.

"Should we go say hello?" Sasuke asked, arms crossed, glancing sideways at Sasuke below.

"Good suggestion."

The two exchanged a glance, then disappeared into the crowd and slowly walked away.

[Hold the hammers across his chest, swagger down, and attract attention.]

【"Awoo~"】

"We're getting a little sleepy from waiting."

Kiba Inuzuka walked over, yawning, stretching, and rubbing his eyes.

【"Woof~" Akamaru barked softly.】

Looking at Naruto, his tail unconsciously wagged.

Shino, hands in his pockets, silently followed behind the two.

[Naruto greeted them with a smile.]

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

A strange sense of familiarity welled up inside me.

This feeling is wonderful.

Meanwhile, within the crowd, a figure shrank back, trying to minimize their presence.

Behind the red-rimmed glasses, those large eyes unconsciously glanced down at the conspicuous Konoha genin.

"How strange... Why... why do I feel warmth from that person... why do I feel an irresistible urge to get close to him?"

Naruto's heart skipped a beat; he sensed that gaze and was about to look in its direction.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Hey, you guys!"

"It's better to keep things quiet."

The voice was gentle, yet carried a warning tone.

The cockroaches looked in the direction of the sound.

Then a young man, whose age seemed disproportionate to most of the genin present, walked over.

He wore glasses, had short, blue-white hair, and looked somewhat refined.

[He walked over to the cockroaches with an air of familiarity, a hint of understanding in his eyes, "I see."]

"You've just graduated from the Ninja Academy, and this is your first time taking the Chunin Exams, right?"

[Look at the headband on the newcomer's forehead.]

The cockroaches, however, did not lower their guard. They remained silent, simply watching him.

"Ha, you guys, don't you know you're being a bit too loud?"

Sasuke frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward somewhat unhappily.

The other person acted as if they were doing it for their own good, like someone who'd been there before, which made my teeth very uncomfortable.

"So what?"

"Not so good." The person who came maintained their smile.

"However, you'd better check on everyone else." The newcomer gestured behind him.

Everyone instinctively looked over.

[At this point, almost all the genin present looked at them.]

Because of that overly friendly guy, in an instant, the way he looked at Naruto and the others became much more unfriendly.

【"snort!"】

"If you're looking to die, you can continue."

Neji glanced at Kabuto.

"They seem to be doing this for our own good, but actually, their arrival immediately revealed that we're newcomers. We were already attracting attention, and now almost everyone knows we're newbies," Tian Tian said unfriendly.

"Hey, what's your name?" Shikamaru frowned slightly; his intuition told him that this person was suspicious.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kabuto Yakushi."

"Get lost." Sasuke said coldly before Kabuto could continue speaking.

[Yakushi Kabuto: "......."]

He awkwardly but politely pushed up his glasses.

He gave Sasuke a long, hard look.

[“Uchiha Sasuke...is this Orochimaru-sama's target this time?”]

Then, Kabuto smiled again.

"It was my oversight."

"However, I didn't mean to harm you."

"If you don't believe me, look. The Rain Village ninja behind you don't have that much patience."

"You've been arguing ever since you came in... If you upset them..."

Kabuto didn't finish his sentence; he simply smiled.

Everyone looked again.

[As expected, I saw ninjas from Amegakure.]

【but......】

What happens if you upset them...?

How could such an adorable little girl be so ruthless?

However, the two Rain Village ninjas beside the little girl looked rather fierce.

[“Is Hanzo still alive?” Naruto’s gaze lingered for a moment on the attire of “Yumehi” and “Oboro.”]

This outfit is very similar to that of Hanzo the Salamander, whom he had seen before and who was known as a demigod.

However, recent intelligence reports about Amegakure subtly hint at the death of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Then, Naruto's gaze fell on the figure between Yumehi and Oboro.

She's a very cute little girl.

She seemed to be talking to her companion.

Naruto's ears twitched.

That little girl was not only adorable, but her voice was also as melodious and pleasant as a mountain spring.

"They look even younger than us..."
