Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

As expected, nothing has changed.

Kankuro shook his head.

Sure enough, he still jumped out to provoke them.

The provocative voice rang out.

The group also stopped talking.

Sasuke's gaze narrowed slightly.

Kiba immediately redirected his anger towards Kankuro.

"Woof!!!"

[Akamaru barks and his hair explodes all over his body. 】

It's afraid of Gaara, not this guy carrying a puppet.

The atmosphere became tense the moment they met.

"You should be glad you didn't run into our class, and that you didn't attack Team 8, otherwise whether you'd see the sun tomorrow is uncertain," Sasuke sneered.

"Step aside, you're not qualified to lecture us."

"Even if we were to take action, you're not qualified. Let that guy with the sand gourd come out; that would be more appropriate."

"Heh...you're courting death!" Kankuro's mocking smile vanished.

His gaze was fixed on Sasuke's eyes.

"You have no idea just how strong Gaara is... so strong it's suffocating!"

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, ask that guy covered in dog hair and smelling like dog. He was probably scared to death when he ran into Gaara, wasn't he?"

"Damn it!" Kiba growled, and Akamaru roared in response. The two, man and dog, were of one mind and were about to attack.

"Kiba." Naruto smiled faintly and reached out to place his hand on Kiba's shoulder.

Shino slowly spoke, "You lost your mind just because of a few words from others, Kiba."

【tooth:"......"】

"They're here too!" Sakura's eyes lit up.

As for Kankuro... she glanced at him once and then lost interest in looking at him again.

【"Darling~"

Soon, a familiar voice came from behind.

Then a delicate fragrance wafted by.

[Feeling the touch coming from behind.]

Naruto turned around with a hint of exasperation and ruffled Ino's hair.

"Shikamaru's going to tell you to watch your image again soon."

Ino, like a little kitten, kept snuggling into Naruto's arms.

"What does it matter~"

"Yes!" Shikamaru said, resting his head on his hands.

Hearing Ino say that, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"If Uncle Haiyi sees this...it'll be a real problem."

"But Aunt Rino wouldn't do that. Aunt Rino really likes Naruto-kun." Choji said, eating potato chips as he walked up to the group.

【"Ino Ino!"】

Sakura called Ino's name a few times, and Ino looked in the direction of the sound before spotting the conspicuous figure.

【"ah?"】

"Who is this?"

[The words had barely left his mouth.]

The third shift arrived late.

[Kankuro: "..."]

Damn it!

[Hated again?!]

[Just about to speak to attract attention.]

At that moment, it was as if it had been pre-arranged.

[Another team has gathered both the Heavenly Scroll and the Earthly Scroll, passed the second test, and entered the central tower.]

"Hehe~ It's as lively as ever."

"You bunch of Konoha genin, making noise again."

"Are they preparing to hold a war tournament?"

"Who are you going to take down? You wouldn't mind if we got involved too, would you?"

"After all, we're just ninjas from a small village... they shouldn't be targeting us, right?"

The sarcastic voice made everyone present frown.

Even Kankuro frowned, his gaze turning unfriendly as he looked towards the entrance to the central tower.

The newcomers were the same three who had intervened during the first exam.

[The Genin of Otogakure Village. 】

"A dirty rat, it does everything furtively."

[Kankuro snorted coldly. 】

Tos's only visible eye narrowed slightly.

[Fine, I never intended to join forces with Sunagakure to deal with these Konoha genin anyway.]

The three of them are enough.

[If I get the chance, I'll also kill those three from Sunagakure.]

【"hehe."】

"So, you're pretty brave, huh?"

[Saksend gave a dismissive smile.]

[Hands in pockets, head slightly lowered, glancing sideways at Kankuro.]

"It's just about getting through this Death Forest; this second test is completely meaningless."

"How about we have a friendly competition?"

["Since we've already signed the death consent form, let's not waste it~"]

"Oh?" Kankuro drawled.

He then put down the crow puppet on his back.

"Rats of your caliber... Hmph, your sonic attacks, which you're so proud of, are useless against me."

【Click click click—】

[The words fell.]

The raven puppet, wrapped in bandages, then emitted a crisp, clanging sound.

[There was also a clanging sound of metal.]

"Useless to you? Ha! I can make countless mistakes, but you?"

Toss stood hunched over, his hands hanging naturally at his sides.

["Kankuro, come back."]

Just then.

Gaara's voice came from inside the lounge.

Kankuro frowned slightly.

But she silently picked up the crow puppet again.

No matter how much the Sound Ninja trio taunted him, he didn't stop.

Kankuro left without looking back.

Tos shook his head in disappointment.

[Then she looked at Sasuke.]

Sasuke didn't even glance at him.

That look in his eyes seemed to say, "Killing you would be too dirty for my hands."

[Tos gave a sinister smile.]

"There will be plenty of opportunities ahead, let's go."

After saying this, the three went to another lounge.

The cockroaches naturally left immediately.

They need to wait until the second exam is over before they can leave.

But Naruto and his friends certainly wouldn't wait here idly.

The ANBU ninjas sent here wouldn't stop them either.

However, as he left, Naruto noticed someone in the lounge in the corner.

【Is it her?】

"You guys go first."

After saying goodbye to the other members, Naruto turned and walked towards the rest area in the corner.

Their eyes met.

The hydrangea's pupils suddenly contracted.

"I...I've already voluntarily given up my exam eligibility!"

Naruto's lips curled slightly, revealing his signature gentle smile.

Try to appear more approachable.

"I'm not here to cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, the hydrangea paused, taken aback.

If you're not here to cause trouble... then what are you doing here?

"I heard you're the disciple of the angel from Amegakure..."

How did he know?

Could it be Oboro and Yumeka...?

A chill ran through Zihaihua's heart.

This test will be bloody.

[This handsome blond boy appeared before me... then, the ending for Oboro and Yumeka... isn't hard to guess.]

【call--】

Hydrangea took a deep breath, trying to compose herself.

【"yes."】

Naruto did not enter the rest room, nor did he make any move.

It's clear that Ziyanghua is on edge right now; the slightest movement from him would likely send the little girl into a frenzy.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?"

"I'd like to learn about Amegakure now."
