Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

"Ah."

The three of them immediately rushed off to surround the cat and capture it in one fell swoop.

But the cat had escaped many times and gradually gained experience. At the critical moment, it suddenly leaped down, broke free from the three people's encirclement, and dashed away into the distance.

"Damn it! What a cunning cat!"

"Don't run!"

Just at this moment.

Around the corner, several figures came from behind and bumped into the howling, screaming cat.

boom--

The old cat was hit so hard it was completely disoriented and collapsed to the ground, its head spinning.

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just a stray cat!"

The person who was hit snorted and kicked the cat that was lying on the ground.

Although this cat ran away every day, it was, after all, the famous lady's pet, and had never been so humiliated. It immediately bristled, let out a shriek, pulled back its hind legs, and pounced on the man, tearing at him.

"Meow--"

The man sneered, then suddenly stretched out his finger. It seemed as if an invisible thread appeared instantly, sticking to the cat out of thin air, and he threw it away violently.

"roll!"

Naruto and his two companions' expressions changed slightly. Although it was an unpleasant cat, it was, after all, the Daimyo's pet and the target of their mission. How could they let it get hurt?

Hinata rushed forward and used her gentle, protective Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm to catch and gently pull the cat into her arms.

Naruto and Sasuke had already stood in front of the three.

"Hey! Who are you people?! How could you hit a cat so hard?!"

"Judging from your attire and headbands, you're not ninjas from Konoha, are you?!"

The three were taken aback by Hinata's attack; she was clearly no ordinary person.

He remained disdainful of Naruto and Sasuke.

"Don't you even recognize the headband from Sunagakure?"

"You call yourselves ninjas from Konoha Village?"

"The person who kicked the cat said coldly."

"Sunagakure Village?"

Naruto's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that these people must have come to participate in the Chunin Exams.

"So what if it's Sunagakure?!"

"Do you act so arrogantly when you're a guest in someone else's village?!"

The man, dressed like a puppet in a play, hadn't spoken yet.

A cool-looking young man with a huge gourd on his back, short red hair, no eyebrows, and a "love" character tattooed on his forehead spoke first.

"It has nothing to do with which village it is."

"In this ninja world, it is a dog-eat-dog world. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to be arrogant."

His voice was devoid of any human emotion.

It seemed to come from some solitary and ferocious wild beast!

Even the system notification in Naruto's mind, though equally indifferent, wasn't as cold-blooded as him, or even...

cruel!

Just as Naruto was about to say something, Sasuke spoke up as well.

"The law of the jungle is true, but who is truly strong and who is truly weak is another matter entirely."

The boy with dark circles under his eyes gave him a cold look.

"Nice look."

"Unfortunately, they may not have the ability to match that kind of gaze."

Sasuke frowned: "Want to give it a try?"

"Gaara, you're new here, so it's best not to cause trouble..."

The girl beside him quickly spoke up to remind him.

"Shut up, Temari."

"Don't talk to me like an older sister."

"And you, Kankuro, if you anger me, I won't care about brotherhood..."

"Kill you!"

For a moment, both Kankuro and Temari were terrified and drenched in sweat.

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, sensing an extremely terrifying killing intent.

Behind Gaara, it seemed as if a huge tailed beast, filled with cruelty, tyranny, bloodlust, and bloodlust, suddenly opened its eyes and unleashed a terrifying aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a veritable hell on earth!

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata were all overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura!

The old cat in Hinata's arms was so frightened that it screamed and struggled wildly!

And at that very moment...

Inside Naruto's spiritual space, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had been sleeping in a sealed cage, suddenly opened its eyes and woke up!

"One tail..."

"Shukaku?!"

"Hmph, another bastard who deserves to die!"

Chapter 109 Everyone Arrives! A Sea of ​​Strong Individuals! The Chunin Exams Begin! Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!

"Ichibi? Shukaku?"

"what is that?"

In the mental space, Naruto couldn't help but ask curiously.

The nine-tailed fox snorted coldly and did not answer his question.

But as Naruto gazed at the Nine-Tailed Fox's swaying tail, he seemed to vaguely guess something...

"A monster like you?"

"However, unlike me, that guy named Gaara seems to have been completely devoured by that monster..."

The nine-tailed fox said coldly, "Isn't that a good thing?"

Naruto laughed and said, "It's a good thing for you, but not for us."

"However, don't even think about taking over my body."

“I’m not like him.”

After saying this, Naruto exited the mental space.

"Is he different?"

"Don't speak too soon, you brat!"

……

The terrifying aura of the tailed beast emanating from Gaara vanished in a flash.

However, the three members of Class 7 had already sensed boundless terror.

But the three of them did not back down at all.

Having already fought Zabuza Momochi to the death, the three of them were in a state of mind that ordinary genin could not compare to.

Instead of retreating, Naruto took a step forward!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Let's settle this once and for all during the Chunin Exams!"

"Remember my name, Naruto Uzumaki!"

The aura that Naruto unleashed also caused Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari to slightly change their expressions.

"Such powerful chakra..."

"I never expected this kid to be so amazing?!"

Gaara nodded.

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

"I've memorized this name."

"What are your names?"

Sasuke replied indifferently, "Uchiha Sasuke."

Gaara and the other two were startled: "Uchiha?"

Temari blushed slightly and said, "I heard that the Uchiha clan is full of handsome men, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true..."

Hinata also said softly, "Hyuga Hinata."

"I see. Apart from you, everyone else is from a prestigious family in Konoha."

"let's go."

After saying this, Gaara's killing intent subsided, and he regained his cold, icy demeanor, then left with Temari and Kankuro.

Hinata gently stroked the old cat in her arms and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a terrifying person..."

"It seems like some kind of monster is hiding inside him..."

Naruto and Sasuke also sensed it, and each had their own thoughts.

"Looks like this Chunin Exams is going to be really exciting!"

"That way I can stand out even more!"

"Hinata, Sasuke, let's go back and turn in the mission, then continue our training!"

Hinata nodded gently.

Sasuke scoffed, "Stop acting like a captain."

But she still went back with Naruto.

……

In the remaining days, apart from the daily trivial tasks, Team 7 underwent even more brutal and rigorous training, just as Naruto had planned.

Needless to say, Naruto, inspired by Hinata and spurred on by Sasuke, also sent the two of them soaring into the sky.

For ten whole days, all we did was carry out tasks and cultivate ourselves; even our time for eating and sleeping was completely cut short.

Of course, the results are also extremely remarkable.

Sasuke's overall skill level has improved. His basic taijutsu, ninjutsu, and shurikenjutsu have reached a high level of proficiency, and his fire-style ninjutsu has become more refined and skilled.

Most importantly, I can use the Sharingan much more freely now.

Hinata further refined her use of the Byakugan, and her own creation, the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, became much more mature.

In the Land of Waves, both of them trained by climbing trees and walking on water, and also went through fierce battles with true Jonin. Their internal strength, external skills, fighting will, fighting mentality, and fighting experience were all greatly improved.

Naruto also mastered the Wind Release ninjutsu.

The three of them are now confident and full of anticipation for the Chunin Exams.

In recent days, many people have been arriving in Konoha Village one after another.
