The boy from Sand Ninja Village in black picked up Konohamaru and looked at him carefully like a kitten or puppy. Konohamaru was pinched by the collar and shouted repeatedly: "It feels so uncomfortable, let me go." !”

"Is this the kid from Konoha? He is reckless and has no rules like our Suna Ninja Village!" The boy from Suna Ninja Village said with a rather sarcastic smile.

"As allies, are you a little too arrogant?" Naruto walked over with an unkind look on his face.

"Huh?" The other party turned to look at Naruto. After seeing the forehead protector on his head, as well as his age and dress, he concluded that Naruto was a genin of Konoha Village.

"The young people of Konoha Village are too reckless. If this were in our Sand Ninja Village, I would kill you long ago." The other party bared his teeth provocatively.

"Haha?" Naruto sneered: "It seems that you are looking for trouble."

"Guys without strength are not worthy of our respect." The other party raised his head and looked very arrogant.

Naruto noticed that behind him there was a girl of similar age to them, who was also wearing a forehead protector from the Suna Ninja Village. She was obviously much calmer than this young man, but she was silent at the moment. I'm afraid they just wanted to test it on purpose. Let’s take a look at the strength of Konoha Village.

There should be no problem with the identity of this group of people, because you need to have legal status to enter Konoha Village. They should have come to Konoha for some reason.

In addition to these two people, he also sensed that there was another very violent Qi nearby, who seemed to be observing them secretly.

Thinking of this, Naruto stepped forward calmly: "Okay, since Sand Ninja Village wants to try it so much, we might as well try a few tricks."

"Kankuro, you have to control yourself." The girl behind the boy in black finally spoke.

"Don't worry, I will only give these pampered little guys a little bit of Suna Ninja shock." The boy from Suna Ninja Village, known as Kankuro, sneered.

"Are all the Sand Ninjas so arrogant?" Naruto glanced at Konohamaru in Kankuro's hand, and the next second he burst into speed and rushed towards Kankuro.

"Good skills!" When Kankuro saw Naruto's speed, his eyes suddenly lit up. Based on this hand speed alone, he could conclude that Naruto's taijutsu was definitely not bad.

He threw Konohamaru away, clenched his fists and started sparring with Naruto in Taijutsu.

During the battle, he felt that Naruto's speed and strength were very good, but it was still a bit too young for him. He couldn't help but smile confidently: "If all the genin in Konoha are at your level, I think this time There is no hope for you in the Chuunin Exams."

As everyone knows, Naruto is just moving his body to test the level of Kankuro's taijutsu, otherwise he is afraid of accidentally beating the person to death.

In the genin range, unless there is any special defense or recovery bonus, the physical defense and endurance will not be much higher than that of a normal person, and the strongest ordinary person's combat power will not exceed 10 points. A normal adult Even though a man tried his best, he only had 5 points of combat power. With Naruto's current combat power of over 30 points, if he couldn't control it well, he would really beat someone of Kankuro's level to death with one punch.

After a brief warm-up, Naruto roughly understood what level Kankuro was. In terms of taijutsu alone, I'm afraid Sasuke could easily humiliate him, but since the opponent was so arrogant, he should have something to rely on.

Naruto couldn't help but look at the strange object he was carrying on his back. It should be an unnamed prop made of wood and part of metal. Although it was wrapped in a strip of cloth, it could barely be seen that it was similar to a humanoid.

Is it some kind of robot or puppet?

Thinking of this, he was not careless and a little more serious. Kankuro suddenly felt the pressure increase greatly. Within three or five moves, he was kicked in the chest by Naruto. He staggered back several steps before stopping.

"Show some real strength. I don't believe that someone who pretends like that can be so good." Naruto stood there and said calmly.

"Damn..." When Naruto said this, Kankuro suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face. He directly untied the restraints on his back and took off the things he had been carrying.

"Are you going to use a crow?" As soon as Kankuro took out this thing, the girl next to him immediately became anxious, because once this thing is used, it will be serious.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to use the crow to teach this guy a lesson!" Kankuro had just removed the so-called "crow" prop he was carrying, and the next second he felt a strong wind blowing in front of him, and Naruto came instantly Get to his side and kick directly in the air.

There was only a "bang", Kankuro felt a light touch on his hand, and then there was the sound of wood and metal parts scattered on the ground.

Naruto came to his side in an instant and kicked what he called "the crow" to pieces, scattering it into parts on the ground.

At this time, Naruto stood beside him and turned to look at him with a very scary look.

"What did you just say?"

Chapter 38 Gaara

"...this...this, this..."

Kankuro was momentarily speechless and couldn't even speak.

Naruto's kick just now shocked him too much, because what was kicked to pieces by Naruto was not something else, but his magic weapon - the puppet crow.

Although it is named Crow, it is of course not a bird, but a humanoid puppet named Crow.The so-called puppets are battle puppets made of special wood and metal. They can be humanoid, animal or insect-shaped. The crow on Kankuro's back is a humanoid puppet.

Once the battle begins, Kankuro can release chakra threads from his hands to control the puppet to fight like a puppet. Since the puppet is not a living creature and can be modified at will, the puppet's attack methods are all extremely weird.

There may be poisonous needles hidden in the seemingly ordinary fingers, poisonous mist may suddenly spray out of the head or a rain of poisonous arrows may appear, a sharp knife may instantly stick out from any part of the body, or the entire puppet may transform into a poisonous needle. into a bomb.

Kankuro is a rare puppet master in the ninja world, and his puppet talent is extremely superior, only inferior to the genius of the Sand Ninja Village many years ago, the Red Sand Scorpion.

The puppet he used was made by that genius many years ago. Its craftsmanship is very exquisite, and every piece of material is kept refined. It is not only strong, but can be dispersed and reorganized at any time. In a duel at the Genin level, this puppet can defeat absolutely no one. Most of the opponents suffered.

If the puppets were just broken up, Kankuro wouldn't be so shocked, because the puppets themselves have the ability to disperse and reorganize, so being broken up would not be a big deal.

What really shocked him was that with Naruto's kick, not only did the crows scatter all over the floor, but many of the kicked parts directly cracked...

They were made of special materials and were very strong, but they were broken by a kick from a genin. How powerful must that kick be?

What's even more frightening is that he didn't see Naruto's movements clearly at all. He only felt that Naruto appeared in front of him in a flash.

Due to his lack of strength, he couldn't even tell whether it was just Naruto who was too fast, or whether he had witnessed the legendary teleportation technique?

This moment made him break out in cold sweat. Just imagine, if Naruto had kicked him just now...

However, as the representative sent by Suna Ninja Village, he has a heavy responsibility. At this moment, he must keep his expression steady and keep his face.

"The ninjas of Konoha are so rude. You didn't wait for me to unfold the puppet, and before the bandage was untied, you... you suddenly made a sneak attack. You really can't be called a hero." Kankuro tried hard to save himself. .

Naruto put his hands on his shoulders and smiled at him calmly: "If everyone stood still and practiced their skills for a while, you would die even more miserably."

Kankuro cannot be regarded as an opponent by Naruto at all. Judging from the previous fight, Naruto inferred that Kankuro should rely on controlling that strange doll to fight. His own physical skills and other skills are not outstanding, at least in his eyes. It's very weak.

If an ordinary person faced Kankuro, once his puppets were deployed, it would be really difficult to defeat him.

However, for Naruto, who has teleportation, he can just teleport to Kankuro and then kick him directly to heaven.

If he really had to wait for him to unfold his puppet, Naruto could also charge up a blast of turtle Qigong and see if his puppet could take one shot.

At this moment, Naruto felt the air he had just observed in the dark move. He moved to the tree next to everyone at a very fast speed, and after getting close, he said to Kankuro: "That's enough, there's more. Isn’t that embarrassing enough?”

Naruto immediately turned his head and focused his attention on this person, because the other person's violent aura really impressed him.

Most people cannot be so violent with anger. Only people who have suffered inhuman torture for many years can have such terrible anger. In other words, that guy is definitely a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye.

Sure enough, when Kankuro heard the man speak, his expression changed instantly and he broke out in cold sweat. It seemed that to Kankuro, that guy was more terrifying than Naruto who could kick him to death.

When Naruto turned around, he found the man looking at him too.

The other person's skin looked very pale, and there were very thick dark circles around his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

Under those dark circles were a pair of extremely world-weary eyes, and Naruto clearly felt an emotion of "this world is not worth it" in him.

He carries a huge gourd on his back, making people wonder whether it is some kind of secret weapon.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Kankuro was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and apologized repeatedly: "Okay, it's all my fault, please forgive me."

After looking at Naruto carefully, he decisively left with Kankuro and the accompanying Suna Ninja Village girl.

Before leaving, he suddenly paused and couldn't help but turn around and ask Naruto: "You are very strong. I want to know your name."

Naruto calmly replied: "Uzumaki Naruto, the newest genin of Konoha Village."

"My name is Gaara, a genin from Sand Ninja Village. I'm looking forward to my duel with you in the Chuunin Exam."

After saying that, Gaara took the two of them away. When they were not far away, Naruto vaguely heard the accompanying girl complaining: "What, you didn't pay attention to me at all."

Naruto was thoughtful at this moment. He was thinking about the term Gaara mentioned just now: "Chunin Exam?"

He was not unfamiliar with this term. After returning to the ninja world, he had been paying attention to various news about his village and the entire world, including the Chunin Examination.

This is a system created by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. It is held twice a year. Any genin that meets the conditions can take the exam. As long as they pass the test, they can be promoted from genin to chunin.

After becoming a chuunin, you can wear the green vest specially provided by the ninjas of Konoha Village, which is the kind of professional attire that Kakashi often wears. It has excellent defense, cold resistance, and storage capabilities. Generally speaking, Ninjas who are ninja and above will wear this thing, but there are also some ninjas who don't wear it due to personality or other reasons.

Once you reach this level, you can take on C-level and B-level missions. After gaining qualifications, you can also work as a mentor in a ninja school, or serve as the backbone of various departments in the village. Whether you want to fish or forge ahead, there are many opportunities. Put space.

The village has held Chunin exams many times in the past years, but the scale was so small that Naruto didn't notice it for so many years in the village.

This year seems to be particularly different. There are obviously many unfamiliar faces in the village. Kankuro from Suna Ninja Village is directly in the face of Konoha ninjas. If he is not met today, but other ordinary genin, I am afraid that I was really bullied by him.

Chapter 39 The ultimate meaning of freedom

Realizing that the Chunin Exam was about to begin, Naruto decisively went to find Sasuke.

At this time, Sasuke was practicing at home. Since his trip to the Land of Waves, Sasuke began to demand himself harder because he saw Naruto's outrageous strength and felt that he had to catch up with Naruto no matter what, at least not to become a member of the team. The one who's holding back.

When Naruto came to visit, Sasuke was practicing the Fireball Technique. After all, fire escape was the specialty of the Uchiha clan. In terms of practicing fire escape, the Uchiha clan basically did twice the result with half the effort.

At this time, he had made great progress compared to before in terms of the speed of sealing and the power and size of the fireballs he spat out, but Sasuke still felt very dissatisfied.

He recalled that day, Kakashi and Zabuza were able to complete the 44 seals of the Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu so quickly that only afterimages were left. It only took them a few seconds to complete it. If he had that kind of speed, , the powerful fireball technique is almost instantaneous.

"Damn it, do you really have to practice for more than ten years?"

Driven by the desire for revenge, Sasuke no longer has much patience. He just wants to develop a skill before he reaches adulthood. He doesn't want to spend his days step by step and slowly become stronger.

He could only sleep 4 hours a day, or he could stay up all night practicing, just to gain strength quickly so that he could avenge his entire clan.

Just thinking about Itachi being on the loose right now makes Sasuke feel like he's going crazy. The murderer who killed the entire clan is leisurely roaming around outside the village. However, he, the only one who can take revenge, is making slow progress. Even Kakashi doesn't know what level he is. Time can be reached, let alone revenge?

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!" Sasuke once again began to force himself to speed up the seals. Even though he had not learned any powerful ninjutsu yet, he wanted to perfect his existing abilities as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the more impatient he was, the less likely he was to succeed. Not only did the seal formation speed not become faster this time, but he almost made a mistake and the seal formation speed became even slower.

The more this happens, the more anxious he becomes. In this case, when will he be able to take revenge?

From a pessimistic point of view, with his current progress, is there really any hope of revenge in this life?

Just when his emotions broke down, Naruto stood behind him and patted his shoulder: "Don't be too impatient, Sasuke."

"Naruto?" Sasuke thought he was being attacked at first and was startled. After he realized it was Naruto, he tried to calm down and put on a slightly softer expression.

No matter how anxious and angry he was, he knew that he shouldn't show his bad face to his friends.

"I cooked tomato egg soup and a box of rice balls. Let's eat something first." Naruto took out everything from the lunch box one by one. The egg soup in the jar was still steaming.

"I'm not in the mood, I can't eat much." Sasuke took several deep breaths, but he still felt that the stagnation in his heart was lingering.

"Naruto, can you tell me why you have become so strong in training?"

Sasuke thought about it again and again, and decided to ask Naruto for advice. As the former No. 1 in the ninja school, he asked for advice from a person who was once the tail end of the crane. This scene seemed a bit absurd, but Sasuke really had no good solution now.

Naruto's answer made him unbelievable: "Exercise well, have fun, eat well, rest well, and finally study well."

"It sounds like you're fooling a kid."

Naruto smiled and shook his head: "Sasuke, eating, sleeping, and resting are the most basic needs of a person. If a person cannot even meet the most basic needs of his body, then he is like a building with an unstable foundation. , The building is not high.”

Seeing that Sasuke still couldn't agree, Naruto continued: "What do you think is the biggest obstacle to practice?"

"It's because I'm not strong enough. No matter how much I practice, I can't improve very much. Even the more I practice, the more I feel like I'm not making progress." Sasuke looked at his scarred palms and couldn't help but clenched his fists again.

Naruto stood up and said: "When learning martial arts, or practicing, the first thing you have to defeat is not the enemy, but yourself."

"If you lose yourself because of obsession, constantly force yourself, and can't even be calm, then you won't be able to truly become stronger."

"If you want to become stronger, you must not only have great strength, but you must also keep up with the spirit. Chakra requires a mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy to be refined. Now you have tortured your body to the point of exhaustion and your spirit is also exhausted. Unbearable, how do you become stronger?"

These principles were taught to him by Teacher Kame Sennin when he was in the Dragon Ball world.

These principles seem simple, but Naruto spent most of his time in that world on this. After decades of training, and after reaching great perfection in both body and martial arts, he understood the true meaning of it. In the end, he learned the unique skill that only gods can master - the ultimate self-control skill.

After you empty your mind and make yourself completely calm, you can enter the state of ultimate freedom. After entering this state, the whole person becomes extremely calm. Even in the middle of a battle, there will be no confusion and you can have the calmest mind. For everything, whether it is attack or defense, being able to directly take the best action without thinking is the ultimate meaning of "freedom".

Once he enters the state of ultimate freedom, unless the opponent has overwhelming strength, he cannot cause any harm or threat to him.

Now, although his state of mind is still there, his body is too lacking in cultivation. Only when his body is cultivated to match his heart, can he coordinately enter the state of freedom and ultimate mind power. This is like an experienced old driver. Even if If the car is replaced by a Santana, he can drive beautifully, but if it is replaced by a rocker, it really won't work.

He put his hands on Sasuke's shoulders and transferred part of his Qi into Sasuke's body, gradually smoothing out his Qi that was disordered due to his chaotic mood, making Sasuke's mood gradually relax and his heart gradually calm.

"It's amazing, I suddenly don't feel agitated anymore." Sasuke was surprised to feel the calm feeling in his body.

"Sit down and have a meal. Eat well and then take a good rest."

Sasuke, who was in a calm mood, sat down and began to feast. In the past month, he had become accustomed to Naruto's cooking, and Naruto had also figured out this boy's recipe. Basically, every time he brought food, it would be brought to his heart. .

While eating, Naruto and Sasuke talked about what happened today and the Chunin Exams.

When he learned that the Chuunin Exam was about to begin, Sasuke immediately said: "Do you still need to think about it? We will definitely participate! And that guy named Kankuro, how dare he be so arrogant while standing on the street of our Konoha? If he dares to fight with you, just stay still during the exam and I will whip him."

After feeling relaxed, Sasuke no longer spoke as coldly and coolly as usual, but instead had some of the liveliness and youthfulness that a boy of his age should have.

However, what Sasuke said was indeed true to his heart. This meant that the Uchiha family was gone. Otherwise, given the convenience of the Uchiha family's role in Konoha's security, Sasuke would have to accuse Kankuro of endangering the security of Konoha at any cost. Pull him back into the situation and let him sit down for a while, and by the way, he can try the Uchiha family's special Uchiha Katsuki rice bowl.
