"Speak! What do you want from me?"
"That's right. Just now, the Kazekage Gaara sent an invitation to us from his subordinates. They said that Sunagakure is about to hold the new Chunin Exams and they want to invite Konoha to participate."
Kakashi stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point.
"So you mean you want me to lead the team?" Lin Ye asked.
"That's right. Of the twelve Konoha ninja, only Naruto and Sasuke haven't become Chunin yet. I plan to have them participate."
But they were also worried that the two were too strong and might accidentally destroy Sunagakure.
After some thought, I've concluded that only you can stop them.
"Okay, I agree. As a friend, I'm willing to help you out."
"Knowing you is the greatest luck of my life."
Kakashi looked pleased.
......
Two days later, everyone gathered at the entrance of Konoha Village.
Besides Lin Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto, there are also Kazamatsuri Moegi, Ise Udon, and Hyuga Hanabi.
And Hinata, she came to take care of Hanabi.
As for why Konohamaru wasn't with Moegi and Udon, it's because he had already successfully been promoted to Chunin.
Before the Fourth Shinobi World War began, various countries held a temporary Chunin Exam to determine the strength of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Naruto also participated at the time. In the final, he faced Konohamaru, but he was disqualified for using Sage Mode against regulations, and Konohamaru won.
"Dad, is it possible that we still can't use Sage Mode this time?" Naruto asked curiously.
"You brat, forget about Sage Mode, you can't even use Truth-Seeking Balls, Yang Power, Tailed Beast Transformation, Rasenshuriken, or Flying Thunder God Technique."
Lin Ye responded seriously.
"Even Sasuke's Rinnegan and Susanoo won't work."
Why?
Upon hearing this, Naruto instantly lost his spirit.
"You're all heroes who saved the world now. You even sealed away Kaguya Otsutsuki. If you used your full power, what would be the point of holding the Chunin Exams? We could just award them to you directly, wouldn't we?"
"Yeah! I don't even care about Chunin, let alone the Five Kage."
Sasuke nodded.
To put it bluntly, the reason I participated in the Chunin Exams this time was just to go through the motions.
After all, no matter how strong you are, if you don't pass the exam, you're still a genin.
Just like Matt Damon back then.
"Spark, I can't believe you've grown up so much."
At this moment, Lin Ye looked at the girl next to Hinata.
She was wearing an orange kimono and had grown into a graceful and elegant young woman.
Here, have a lollipop!
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Hanabi accepted it and smiled.
"Uncle, would you like to know one of my sister's secrets?"
"What secret?"
Lin Ye immediately became interested.
"You can find out if you want, but you have to let me ride a big horse."
Hanabi blinked and looked at him pitifully.
"All right!"
Without saying a word, Lin Ye simply put her on his shoulder.
"Hehe, this is so much fun."
"set off!"
The group then headed towards the Land of Wind.
...
After a while, Lin Ye murmured to himself, "It smells so good!"
Chapter 333 Temari's Visit
"It's the taste of youth."
"Fireworks, how about it? You can tell me now, right?"
After a while, the group walked through a grove of trees, and Lin Ye asked a question.
"Uncle, the secret is that in my sister's room, there is a doll that looks exactly like Naruto Uzumaki."
"Hanabi, you...you're talking nonsense!"
Hinata blushed instantly upon hearing this and quickly covered her mouth.
“I’m not making this up, it’s true.”
"Hinata, why...why did you use my puppet?"
Naruto scratched his head, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"I......"
She lowered her head in shame, unable to speak.
"Do you see me as a role model?"
"Idiot, it's because she likes you, of course."
Lin Ye punched him on the head.
"What? Hinata... Hinata likes me?"
Naruto stared in disbelief, his expression one of utter astonishment.
"You rascal, my sister has liked you for years, how come you haven't noticed?"
Lin Ye gritted his teeth in anger at the fire on his shoulder.
"No wonder she often followed me and liked to talk to me on the radio in the middle of the night."
Naruto suddenly realized.
The next second, he grabbed her shoulder and replied earnestly, "Hinata, you're a good person!"
"what!"
"Naruto... Naruto praised me!"
Upon hearing this, Hinata's face turned so red it looked like it could drip tomato sauce, and she immediately fainted.
"Naruto, she's in your hands now."
"Hey! How could you faint? I haven't even told you that I like Sakura yet!"
As he spoke, he carried Hinata on his back.
......
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin Ye and his group finally arrived at Sunagakure.
Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro led their subordinates to greet them.
Suddenly, Lin Ye was surprised to find that, for some reason, Temari blushed inexplicably whenever she saw him.
"Could it be because I'm too handsome?"
"Uncle, I...I'll take you back to your rooms to rest."
Temari, with her hair tied in four pineapple-shaped buns, wore a white dress and spoke softly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Afterwards, everyone returned to their respective rooms to await the match the next day.
......
The next day, the new Chunin Exams officially began, and ninjas from all over the world arrived in droves.
The content of the competition was the same as the previous two.
The first test was a written exam, which assessed the contestants' teamwork skills.
The second competition venue is the Devil's Desert, where contestants are required to survive for three days and successfully collect the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll.
With their experience, Naruto and Sasuke naturally advanced with ease.
......
Three days later, the final competition officially began.
The competition took place in a circular arena.
There is also a hospital nearby, which is convenient for injured ninjas to stay in.
"The new Chunin Exams, the semi-finals are now beginning. First up is the first group, Naruto Uzumaki versus Hanabi Hyuga."
At Kankuro's command, Naruto and Hanabi stood in the center of the arena.
"Little girl, I advise you to surrender quickly! The other party is a great hero who saved the world, with extraordinary strength."
"Yes! Naruto Uzumaki will definitely win."
The surrounding ninjas started to jeer.
