After reaching an agreement, the two got up to find Kakashi and prepare to register for the Chunin Exam.

What the two of them didn't expect was that Kakashi had already known that the two of them would come, and had already prepared three registration forms for the Chunin Exam.

"Hey, why three pictures?...Oh, I almost forgot, Sakura may also participate." Naruto patted his head.

It's not that he ignored Sakura, but Naruto knew very well that Sakura was now at a very standard level of excellent genin, and she still had a way to go before becoming a chunin, and this exam would probably be far more difficult and dangerous than the previous ones. , with Sakura's current level, it would be dangerous to participate in the competition.

Just like Kankuro and Gaara he met before, both of them made no secret of their murderous intent. Naruto had no doubt that they would be ruthless in official matches. Even if they didn't kill their opponents, they would kill them. Beaten to serious injury or even disability.

"Kakashi-sensei, is it okay for Sakura to take the Chunin Exam?" Naruto was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, there will be a teacher to monitor the exam, not to mention you two are here, she will be fine."

After receiving Kakashi's promise, Naruto felt relieved.

In fact, the real reason is that the Chunin Exam must be taken in groups. If Sakura does not participate, Naruto and Sasuke cannot take the exam alone.

An hour later, when Kakashi handed the registration form to Sakura, who had just finished her housework, the latter opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "Ah????"

"Kakashi-sensei, I have only been a genin for 2 months. Am I going to have to take the chuunin exam now???"

"Don't worry, I believe you can do it." Kakashi gave her a thumbs up.

"Does this feel like an imperial decree..."

"Sandaime-sama and I have already discussed and agreed to allow you, Naruto, Sasuke and the others to take part in the Chunin Exams. You can go and take part without any worries."

"...Okay." Sakura felt a little uneasy.

In fact, her worries were unnecessary. Kakashi knew the strength of Naruto and Sasuke very well, and he knew more about their personalities. Sakura herself was not a rookie, and her safety factor was actually higher than most people.

After the three people filled in the information and submitted it, they began to wait either nervously or excitedly for the Chunin Exam to begin.

There were still a few days before the first exam started. Sakura was working hard to review ninjutsu knowledge at home, while Naruto and Sasuke became obsessed with the collision of bodies.

The efficiency of practicing alone is never as good as that of two people sparring together, especially since Sasuke is now in a bottleneck period. He wants to find a breakthrough but has no way to start. Naruto has become Sasuke's sparring partner. For him, fighting is also a matter of anger. A part of training.

In fact, Sasuke's current strength is quite good, but he is a little too demanding on himself, so he always laments his lack of strength.

He followed Naruto's instructions and had a hearty meal of Ichiraku Ramen with Naruto at night, then slept until he woke up naturally. After breakfast, he trained himself to be as peaceful as possible.

The effect surprised him. The speed of sealing that he couldn't break through yesterday was improved without much effort today. Not only that, the sealing has become more natural and has more muscle memory. There is no need to deliberately recall every seal. .

"You have actually trained to this level a long time ago. It's just that you didn't rest well and had a mental problem, so you couldn't show your true strength." Naruto explained beside him.

When practicing martial arts, the first thing you have to do is to exert 100% of your own strength. If you can't even exert your original strength, you don't have to think about anything to the next level.

"Through fighting to strengthen the body, and through practice to strengthen the heart. When the two are strengthened, the chakra refined from physical energy and mental energy will also be strengthened. If the three are performed at the same time, the strength will increase very quickly."

Naruto himself is using this method to practice, and he masters the power of Qi and Chakra at the same time, so he can get twice the result with half the effort. Chakra and Qi become stronger at the same time, superimposing each other, and the increase is terrifying.

He and Sasuke practiced taijutsu. Although there was a big gap in combat power between him and Sasuke, this was not a problem, because the practice of qi included controlling qi.

Even if his combat power is 100 billion, he can still reduce his pressure to only 5 points, which is equivalent to that of a normal person.

As long as Naruto lowers his air pressure to the same level as Sasuke, he can fight him with similar strength. Therefore, even people with huge differences in strength can sparring together.

Compared to the practice of ninjutsu, Sasuke has obviously slacked off in physical skills for a long time. When Naruto fought against him for the first time, he could barely cope with the Wolf Fang Wind Fist with the help of Sharingan, but now, even if Naruto When the person lowered his air pressure to the same level as him, Sasuke's taijutsu performance was far worse than before.

Naruto didn't say anything to him. He lowered his speed to just one point faster than Sasuke and kept attacking him. Sasuke was able to dodge or parry almost every time. The vitality of his body was here. He continued to improve in the process, but no matter how much he improved, Naruto's speed was still one point faster than him.

In just a few days of training, Sasuke's reaction speed and physical ability improved by nearly [-]%, but he couldn't feel it himself, because no matter how much he improved, he still felt the same when fighting Naruto, always one point slower.

Sasuke, who had eaten well, drank well, slept well and practiced hard for several days in a row, looked better than before. When the day of the chunin exam came, Naruto and Sasuke went to the ninja school to take the first exam. The girls they met on the road looked back at Sasuke frequently, and some of them boldly wanted to come up to him and get to know him.

"You are so annoying." Sasuke rejected everyone indifferently, and then left quickly with Naruto: "Naruto, let's go."

When they were about to arrive at the examination room, the two of them clapped their heads: "Oops, I forgot to call Sakura!"

Fortunately, Sakura was never vague when it came to exams. Naruto and Sasuke both came here after eating and drinking enough last night and having a good sleep. However, Sakura was woken up by her mother early in the morning to take the exam.

She had been standing at the school gate waiting for a long time. When she saw Naruto and Sasuke arriving, she stood on tiptoes and waved to them: "Hey~! Sasuke! Naruto!"

After the two noticed her, they immediately hurried over. Naruto said with a shy face: "Sakura, you gave us a good meal."

"Eh? Did you know I was coming early?"

"With your personality, it's inevitable that you'll come early." Naruto said nonchalantly.

"You know me quite well." Sakura smiled, focusing on Sasuke.

"Stop talking boring words and hurry up to the examination room. Naruto, let's go."

....................

After the bond is strengthened, I wonder if Sasuke "accidentally killed" Naruto during the first Valley of the End, whether it would be painful enough to open the kaleidoscope ()

Chapter 41 Damn it, is it an illusion?

Since graduation, several of them have not returned to the ninja school, but it has only been more than two months, which is actually equivalent to a summer vacation.

Standing in the corridor of the Ninja Academy once again, I felt like I was still a student.

"The exam location is in Classroom 301 on the third floor. Let's go up."

Several people began to walk up the stairs, but as they walked, Naruto found that the two people around him were a little abnormal.

"Hey, isn't this the second floor? Why did you two stop?" Naruto pointed to the sign on the floor.

"Second floor? Isn't this the third floor?" Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand, someone has set up an illusion here. As soon as the candidates come here, they will fall under the illusion and mistakenly think that this is the third floor. This should be the first test for candidates."

In fact, Sasuke himself would not be able to detect the illusion so quickly. With his ability, he would probably slowly realize something was wrong after walking to the door of the classroom on the second floor.

However, before he went down the stairs, Naruto said that this was the second floor, not the third floor, which made Sasuke immediately aware of the problem.

Naruto would not lie to him, so there was only one answer left. One of him and Naruto must have been affected by genjutsu or the like, so he misjudged the floor.

He knew Naruto very well. Based on Naruto's state of mind and level of cultivation, ordinary illusions should basically be non-existent to him.

The principle of genjutsu is nothing more than to disrupt the opponent's chakra, thereby causing the opponent to hallucinate. Depending on the ability of the user, genjutsu can vary from a simple small hallucination to a real ability to kill.

Similarly, the success rate of illusions also depends on the strength gap between the two parties. When the strengths are equal, applying illusions is like stirring the water in a vat with your hands. You can always do it with a little effort, but if the strengths are not equal, , applying illusions is like trying to stir up the sea with one hand, it cannot be realized at all.

Naruto's chakra is very powerful, and it may take a jounin-level genjutsu to be useful to him, and this is the chunin exam. If a jounin-level genjutsu is directly applied, the candidates will rush to the second floor together.

After simply running through the basic logic in his mind, Sasuke immediately made a rational judgment: "I was under the illusion, and Naruto is right."

Sakura beside her didn't believe it at first, but after seeing what Sasuke said, she also believed the genjutsu, so she closed her eyes and began to sort out her chakra.

In some cases, after the person who has been affected by the genjutsu realizes that he is in the genjutsu, he can mobilize the chakra in the body and sort it back to normal. As long as the flow of chakra returns to normal, the genjutsu will be automatically lifted.

Of course, there is also a kind of matryoshka illusion, that is, the caster makes the victim mistakenly think that he has sorted out the chakra, but in fact he has not sorted it out. He mistakenly thinks that the illusion has been lifted, but in fact he has only reached the third level. In the second level of illusion.

Illusion masters can play with people who have fallen into illusions like this. Of course, illusions also have shortcomings, that is, they are very afraid of external interference. Just like Naruto awakening Sasuke, once external forces intervene, illusions can easily collapse directly.

Sasuke's estimate of Naruto's resistance to genjutsu was too conservative, because he didn't know that not only chakra but also ki flowed in Naruto's body.

Unless the opponent can disrupt his chakra and qi at the same time, the chakra that invades the body will be instantly washed away by the qi, and the initially chaotic chakra will be instantly reorganized by the qi back to normal. If you want to deal with Naruto in this situation, Successfully casting illusions requires very high combat effectiveness.

The three of them ignored the large group of illusion-stricken candidates in the corridor and walked straight to the third floor.

At this time, there is only half an hour before the end of registration. If those candidates who have been affected by the illusion cannot remove the illusion within half an hour, they will lose their qualifications for the exam.

He couldn't unlock a chuunin-level genjutsu for more than half an hour. Obviously, he couldn't unlock a chuunin-level genjutsu at this level. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if the genjutsu from the opposite side would kill him instantly.

After arriving at Classroom 301 on the third floor, Naruto opened the door and was immediately greeted by the noisy classroom.

The classroom was almost full, and there were noisy candidates everywhere. There were a few familiar faces, classmates from the ninja school at that time, but most of the faces were unfamiliar, because few people would come just after graduation. Chunin exam.

Most of the people sitting here are Naruto and his seniors. They have done many missions and accumulated to a certain level before they came to take the exam.

As soon as they entered the room, Naruto felt a gust of fragrant wind pass by and hit Sasuke directly.

"Sasuke~~! Long time no see, I've been missing you~"

Taking a closer look, he saw a beautiful girl with a yellow ponytail. She threw herself directly on Sasuke, looking very intimate.

And her behavior directly aroused strong dissatisfaction from Sakura. She obviously knew the girl, and immediately yelled at her with a very unkind expression: "You stinky Ino, take your hands off Sasuke!"

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Sakura? Your forehead is still so big, ugly~eight~weird~" Ino showed no sign of weakness and still hugged Sasuke as if to demonstrate to Sakura.

As for the person involved, Sasuke, his current expression was pure sweat.

"Can you please stop being so rude? I'm afraid I'll punch you next time."

During these days of training with Naruto, Sasuke has developed extremely strong reflexes. He will subconsciously fight back against sudden attacks. When Ino just rushed towards him, he almost punched him out. Fortunately, he saw clearly. Knowing that the opponent was not an enemy, he held down his hardened fist.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of many people in the classroom. Two of Ino's teammates stood up and walked towards them.

"Hey, Ino, that's about it. If you act like this, Sakura will really fight with you."

A young man with a pineapple haircut stood up to act as the peacemaker. He was one of Ino's teammates. He was relatively lean, but from his eyes and movements, he could faintly feel that he was very good at observing people's emotions and should be a smart person.

The man standing next to him was much simpler. He was obese and had been eating.

Naruto also recognized these three people. The thin one was called Nara Shikamaru, and the fat one was called Akimichi Choji. One of them had a sad face all day long, and the other only knew how to eat. The whole combination was mindless and unhappy.

As for Ino, she is a pure fangirl of Sasuke and has been Sakura's love rival since she was still at the Ninja Academy.

"It's boring, Naruto, let's go." Sasuke didn't want to talk nonsense to this group of people at all. He just wanted to start the exam quickly and then find a few people from Suna Ninja Village to start the film.

Chapter 42 Senior Yakushi Kabuto

In addition to Ino's team, there was also a team of graduates from the same period in the classroom. After seeing Naruto and the others, they also rushed over to say hello briefly.

Konoha's ninja groups seem to have always implemented the configuration of two men and one woman. This is the case for Naruto and his team's seventh team, this is the case for Ino and his team's tenth team, and the same is true for the eighth team that has come over now.

The brainless guy in their team is a guy named Inuzuka Kiba. He has fang-like patterns painted on both sides of his face and always has a puppy on his head. Naruto hasn't had much dealings with him before, he only knows that they have The clan seems to fight in cooperation with its partner dog.

The person who plays the role of Unhappy is a guy who always wears sunglasses and wraps himself in a large robe. His name is Aburame Shino. Naruto only knows his name, because he is really taciturn. How to communicate with people.

The only girl in the team is named Hinata Hinata. She should be Naruto's most familiar student in the ninja school besides Sasuke and Sakura. When he and Sasuke were competing, Hinata used to cheer him up. .

The intersection between Naruto and her first originated from an accident when they were young. It seemed that Hinata ran away from home for unknown reasons and was bullied. At that time, Naruto wanted to help her out, but because of that He was too good at knowing how to do it. He failed in one against three and was beaten up.

"Long time no see, Hinata." Naruto took the initiative to greet her. Hinata, who was standing opposite him, blushed instantly and lowered her head slightly.

"Okay...Long time no see, Naruto."

"This Chunin Exam is a bit strange." Naruto looked around and found that all the people who successfully graduated from his class were here.

What do teachers think?We have just graduated two months ago, and we haven’t done much yet, so we are all sent here?

When he read the records of the Chuunin Exams in the village books, he clearly remembered that in most cases, ninjas would consider taking the Chunin Exams to be promoted to Chunin one or two years after graduation. This year was a little too abnormal.

Their seventh team can be considered to have experienced the Battle of Wave Country. Kakashi wanted to strike while the iron is hot and let them try it, but what happened to the eighth and tenth teams?

At this moment, Naruto suddenly felt a few unkind glances coming from behind.

Looking back, I saw a few strangely dressed ninjas staring at them. There were four vertical lines printed on the forehead protectors worn by these people. They were the symbol of Yuyin Village, which meant that these people came from Yuyin Village. .

Naruto has always had a considerable degree of curiosity about this Ninja Village.

In the history books of Konoha, things about the Second Ninja World War have been recorded. Among them, the Country of Rain, the country where the Hidden Rain Village is located, occupied a lot of words in that chapter.

The location of the Rain Country is very poor. It is located at the junction of the three major countries: the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Wind. This also caused them to inevitably become battlefields during the Second Ninja War.

However, the specific actions of Konoha in the Kingdom of Rain are unclear in the history books. There is a feeling of Spring and Autumn writing. Naruto guessed that there should be many bad things happening in the Kingdom of Rain at that time.

Konoha doesn't really want to mention this matter. The records of that part in the history books mainly focus on the strategic victory, the significance of the war, the significance and impact of the victory.

However, Konoha can use spring and autumn brushwork, but Amegakure does not. Naruto can clearly feel the unfriendly attitude of Amegakure Village towards Konoha.

As soon as they saw their Konoha forehead protectors, the ninjas of Amegakure Village showed bad intentions. If there was any more friction, they might start fighting.

At this time, a much older Konoha ninja next to him seemed to notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He quickly came over and said hello with a smile, saying that he wanted to show them something interesting, and took them to another part of the classroom. Corner, separated from the ninjas of Yuyin Village.

Throughout the whole process, Naruto didn't say a word, but just looked at the senior with interest.

Because he found that the senior's anger was unbelievably strong.

Qi is something that will continue to become stronger as a person exercises. For example, a person who does not know the existence of qi but has practiced martial arts all his life will have much stronger qi than ordinary people. Once he learns to use it Qi, his combat power may instantly increase by dozens or even hundreds.

A jounin like Kakashi also has much stronger ki than ordinary people, but he can't use it, so that ki cannot be converted into combat power, which means it doesn't exist.

The situation of chakra is similar to that of qi. In theory, a person's body and spirit will be strong enough to have strong chakra, but this thing must be specially refined. If you can't learn to refine chakra, then you can only Learning partial body arts, ninjutsu and genjutsu are completely out of reach.

People in the ninja world don't know how to use energy, which gives Naruto a great convenience.

Without knowing how to use ki, he would not be able to hide his ki. Naruto could easily use his ability to sense ki to sense their location, and he could also judge a person's actual level by the strength of his ki.

The senior with white hair and black round glasses in front of him was actually as angry as Kakashi.

Kakashi is considered a leader even among jounin, but this senior, who has not even passed the chunin exam, actually already has this kind of strength.
