Naruto: Let the glory of the giants spread throughout the ninja world!

"Of course I want it!" Naruto's eyes lit up, then his gaze fell on the fat young man disguised as Zabuza, and he tilted his head to ask.

"By the way, who is this guy? Didn't Zabuza come with you guys?"

boom!

Sakura punched Naruto on the head, instantly creating a large bump: "You idiot! You can't just say things like that!"

"Ouch!" Naruto cried, clutching his head with tears in his eyes.

Haku gently pulled Naruto close, rubbing his head and blowing on it as he spoke softly to Sakura, "It's alright, our identities aren't some important secret."

He looked at the group and explained, "Zabuza-san is currently in charge of ensuring Konoha's safety and cannot meet with you for the time being. As for this one—"

Shiro looked at Ryukura Akira and playfully stuck out her tongue. "Let Akira tell you~"

"Hey..."

Ryukura Akira seemed somewhat helpless at Bai's expression. He shook his head and explained to the group,

"This is the teammate we found temporarily, his name is..." Ryukura Akira paused for a moment, then revealed a mischievous smile.

"His name is Kozuki Momonosuke."

Zabuza's eye twitched slightly.

Hearing the name that Ryukura Akira gave him, he felt helpless.

Although I don't know what the meaning of this name is, it's probably just this kid's weird hobby.

"Why are you looking for teammates?" That's when the oblivious Naruto had to ask.

Akira Ryukura gave a thumbs-up and flashed the same smile as Might Guy.

"As members of Konoha, Haku and I will naturally participate in the Chunin Exams!"

"What?!"

The others present didn't react much, only the three from Class 7 stared wide-eyed.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, why are these rogue ninja from Kirigakure allowed to participate in the Chunin Exams?! And their strength is clearly unfair!"

Sakura is making a crazy rant.

As for Sasuke and Naruto, they know best what kind of strength they possess.

Immediately, Naruto's fighting spirit ignited: "Oh! Then I won't lose either!"

He pointed at Bai and announced loudly, "I was too careless last time! You better watch out this time, or I'll make you cry!"

Bai smiled and gently tidied Naruto's slightly disheveled sideburns, which were messy from excitement, and said softly, "Okay, but you have to go easy on him."

Naruto blushed and obediently lowered his head, letting Haku handle him: "N-Of course, I'll definitely be very gentle."

Ryukura Akira looked at Naruto, who had been "fished out" and silently patted his forehead.

"Your Highness, please don't go astray."

Then he clapped his hands, smiled at the three little ones, and said, "Anyway, we still have plenty of time, let's walk and chat as we go to the exam hall."

Naruto readily agreed, while Sasuke followed with a cold expression.

As for Sakura, he was terrified at first, but after seeing that her friends all agreed, he had no choice but to follow.

Momonosuke followed the five people up the stairs without saying a word.

Just as I reached an open space on the third floor, someone shouted, "Wait a minute!"

A loud shout came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw Rock Lee standing on the fourth-floor platform, looking down at them with a serious expression.

The next second, he leaped down and landed steadily in front of Sasuke.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I want to fight you!"

Li's eyes burned with determination. "If I beat you, Sakura will definitely like me!"

Sakura was also stunned and frozen in place.

In the stands, Tenten and Neji stood side by side.

"I heard that Uchiha Sasuke is very strong," Tenten said with some worry. "Do you think Rock Lee can beat him?"

Neji said calmly, "You underestimate Lee too much. Even I'm not entirely confident I can beat him."

In the center of the arena, Sasuke looked at the challenger with thick eyebrows in front of him and laughed angrily.

His Sharingan slowly rotated—a single tomoe in his left eye and two tomoe in his right.

"You know I'm from the Uchiha clan, and you still dare to challenge me?"

Before Xiao Li could respond, an orange figure rushed forward.

"You're not even going to challenge me? I can beat you in five seconds! Watch me!"

boom.

Naruto was kicked away and slammed solidly into the wall.

At this moment, Naruto was just a nobody by the roadside.

White Horse ran over to help Naruto up and check his body, while Naruto, without any sense of shame, grinned foolishly.

Haku quickly ran over to help him up, checking him over to see if he was injured. Naruto, however, showed no shame, lying in Haku's arms with a silly grin on his face.

Lee withdrew his leg, his gaze still fixed on Sasuke, his expression serious: "I know you're a genius. But that's precisely why I'm challenging you."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Because Mr. Kai said that I am also a genius."

Sasuke instantly lunged forward, throwing a punch at Rock Lee's face: "What kind of genius do you think you are?!"

Lee slightly turned his body and delivered a precise high kick to Sasuke's chin.

boom.

Sasuke fell backward to the ground.

He looked on incredulously. "How is this possible... this guy?"

Xiao Li still stood with his hands behind his back, maintaining a fighting stance.

His breathing remained calm and long as ever, as if it were just an ordinary exercise for him.

"There are two kinds of geniuses in this world: the gifted type and the hard-working type. You are a gifted genius, and I want to prove that I am a hard-working genius."

Sasuke stood up, wiping the blood from his bitten lip. He refused Sakura's help and got up on his own.

The tomoe of his Sharingan spun faster and faster. "Looks like I'm in for some fun. Don't let me defeat you so quickly."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a punch shot straight at Sasuke's face.

"I'm not only a genius who works hard, I'm also the strongest genin in Konoha."

His Sharingan spun wildly, capturing every move his opponent made.

However, no matter what moves he used, Lee easily dodged them, while Sasuke was completely unable to counter Lee's taijutsu.

He could see the trajectory of all of Xiao Li's movements, but his body couldn't keep up at all.

Sasuke Uchiha was kicked to the ground once again, while Rock Lee was completely unharmed.

Naruto, who was mostly unharmed, sat in the corner with Haku and couldn't help but sigh.

"This guy named Rock Lee may seem a bit dim-witted, but his physical skills are really amazing."

Bai laughed and said, "Actually, you didn't see Ryukura Akira's taijutsu. That guy's taijutsu is also very impressive."

boom!

At that moment, Lee kicked the defiant Sasuke.

Sasuke leaped into the air, and before he could react, Lee was already behind him, the bandages on his hands quietly loosening.

"Lotus Blossom!"

Suddenly, a figure rose rapidly and then delivered a flying kick that knocked Rock Lee to the ground.

Sasuke and Lee landed at the same time, and both of them saw the "culprit"—the serious-looking Ryukura Akira.

"Xiao Li, Teacher Kai didn't teach you this trick so you could be competitive, did he?"

"You should know, that's a forbidden technique!"

Just as Xiao Li was about to retort, a deep voice rang out.

"That's right!"
