Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

The two of them snapped out of their daze and hurriedly nodded, "Oh, okay, examiner."

The two brothers jumped onto the stands, still finding it hard to believe that the older brother had actually won the match.

The opponent was eliminated because of such a strange rule?

"All I can say is, well done!" The two brothers smiled at each other.

"This guy deserves a lesson."

The competition continued in full swing, with candidates paired up to compete. Losers were eliminated, and winners advanced to the next round.

Only a few people from Konoha advanced, including Yuuki, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, Lee, and Tenten.

Most people were eliminated, after all, this was the Chunin Exams jointly organized by the five great nations, and many experts gathered.

Soon, the preliminary rounds came to an end.

Half of the candidates were eliminated, but the remaining number was still considerable—a total of twenty teams with fifty-eight people.

"So many people..." On the high platform, Hongdou frowned and sighed.

In the past, only a handful of people would pass the Chunin Exams.

“A few more won’t matter. After all, it’s a joint exam. It would be bad if too few people passed,” Morino Ibiki said coldly from the side.

“Alright then.” Hongdou nodded and took a step forward.

"Dear candidates, please go back and rest. The final assessment will be held tomorrow."

After the announcement was made, the candidates cheered and left the room one after another.

"Let's go too."

Chapter 204 Five Elegant Things in Life

After saying goodbye to her friends, Shinomiya Yuuki returned home in the evening.

"Wow...it smells so good."

He took a deep breath, and a tempting aroma filled his nostrils.

Who's cooking?

Driven by curiosity, he pushed open the door and looked around.

"Yuzuki! You're finally back~"

Hearing the noise, a familiar figure peeked out from the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron and holding a soup ladle, clearly showing off her culinary skills.

Waving the soup ladle in her hand, Kaguya smiled gently at him and said, "You're back just in time, Yuuki. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Is it really Kaguya who's cooking?"

Shinomiya Yuuki looked on in surprise.

You should know that Kaguya usually doesn't even dare to smell the food she makes.

But this time, the entire room was filled with this fragrance, making it hard to believe that it came from the same person.

"I've put in a lot of effort this time, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Kaguya nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Seeing Kaguya's confident demeanor, Yuuki's expression wasn't particularly excited.

The scene of that disastrous lunch from last time involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

I wonder what Danzo thought after eating that lump of food. I should have made him write an article before he died.

"Haha, you continue, I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, Shinomiya Yuzuki hurriedly returned to her room and quickly closed the door, making sure to lock it with the bolt, as if only in this way could she feel a little more at ease.

Unaware of this, Kaguya remained all smiles and returned to the kitchen to continue her work.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Lying on the bed, Shinomiya Yuuki was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

Don't call me, don't call me...

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door, causing him to tremble slightly.

"Yuyue, dinner is ready. Have you finished washing up?"

Not yet.

He answered curtly, trying to buy a little more time.

However, a slightly puzzled voice came from outside the door:

"But I clearly saw you lying in bed."

After a moment of silence.

Shinomiya Yuuki suddenly sat up, staring dumbfounded at the door:

"Did you roll your eyes?"

"When?"

"It's been open all along," came Kaguya's gentle voice from outside the door.

Yuzuki almost fell to the ground.

He was getting a little frustrated: "Then am I just invisible to you all the time?"

"Let's give the child some privacy."

"Huh? Yuzuki doesn't like it?"

"But Xiao Hei and the others said they felt very safe when I looked at them. I thought everyone felt that way."

Kaguya's tone carried a hint of confusion.

"I wouldn't like it..."

“How could we be the same? Kuro and the others are different kinds of people, okay?” Shinomiya Yuzuki retorted.

Sensing the other party's dissatisfaction, Kaguya immediately compromised:

"Okay, sorry. I'll turn it off."

Just then, the bedroom door creaked open, revealing Youyue's serious face.

Do you think an apology alone can solve the problem?

"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having the Anbu?"

Faced with such a straightforward question, Kaguya blinked a few times, looking utterly innocent.

"So what kind of compensation do you want?"

Seeing this, Shinomiya Yuuki's lips curled into a sly smile:

"I want to see it again!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire air seemed to freeze in complete silence.

Kaguya, who was standing not far from the door, was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, but she didn't say anything.

She just stood there blankly staring at Shinomiya Yuuki, perhaps genuinely frightened by the suggestion.

Seeing that Kaguya did not respond, Shinomiya Yuuki felt embarrassed first.

He quickly tried to save face: "Haha, I was just joking."

"Eat first, eat first."

As she spoke, Yuuki grabbed Kaguya's shoulder, helped her turn around, and then pushed her forward from behind.

Kaguya obediently walked towards the hall.

Upon entering the hall, the food on the tables was already neatly arranged.

A fragrant aroma wafts through the air, making one's mouth water.

"Wow..." Yuzuki was stunned on the spot.

Did Kaguya make this?

Regardless of the taste, its appearance alone, which is a feast for the eyes and nose, is enough to make one's eyes light up.

Compared to her previous "culinary disasters," it's like heaven and earth.

"Let me try it!"

Yuyue couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, take a bite of food, and put it in her mouth.

"How about it?"

Kaguya's eyes were full of anticipation as she awaited Yuuki's answer.

"Excellent!"

Yuzuki made no attempt to hide her admiration, giving a thumbs up.

To be honest, the meal didn't taste particularly special, but for Kaguya, it was a leap forward.

Compared to the previous "masterpieces," these ordinary foods can only be described as delicacies.

Seeing Yuuki's praise, Kaguya smiled happily:

"I'm glad you like it."

"Let's eat quickly!"

The two sat down and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

After eating only a few bites, Youyue suddenly felt her hands were empty, as if something was missing.

"Ah, I almost forgot about that."

He gently patted his head, as if he had remembered something important.

Yuzuki pulled out two bottles of sake from somewhere.
