Konoha: I am Uzumaki Naruto, the sober man in the world

Who dares to say that he has poor talent?

But Naruto is different now.

He is sober and already knows how to go on his own path. Naturally, he will not waste time to win the attention of the villagers like he did when he was a child.

The eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Asuma were full of envy.

It would be great if their family could produce such a genius.

Sarutobi Asuma's idea is relatively simple, just pure envy.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the old fox, has darker thoughts. His eyes are gloomy, and no one knows what he is thinking.

The people behind him have different expressions, some are surprised, some are moved, and some are regretful.

Faced with Naruto's rapid progress, they have mixed feelings in their hearts. They are happy for Naruto's growth, but also regret that their family cannot cultivate such a genius.

In this world, geniuses are always rare, and geniuses like Naruto are rare in a hundred years.

Their eyes could not help but cast on the surveillance screen, looking at the young man who looks like the fourth generation and the golden glow of Konoha, their hearts are secretly���Pray, hope that this genius can continue to grow and bring more glory to the Land of Fire and the Ninja World.

"He is really an amazing genius. He learned and applied Li's taijutsu techniques in a short time. Although it is very unfamiliar and crude, it is already quite remarkable."

"Natu is also very talented in physical skills, so you need to cultivate him well. Kakashi, your physical skills are also very good, if you have time, teach him more."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, puffing out a puff of smoke

"Oh, okay.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Hokage, why don't you hand Naruto over to me and I will train him well." Might Guy was a teacher again. Seeing that Naruto was so talented in Taijutsu, he patted his chest and volunteered. There were very few students in Konoha who learned Taijutsu. Although Xiao Li was his most beloved apprentice, he had to admit that Naruto's talent was far superior to Xiao Li's.

"Well, the third exam is coming up, you should train your subordinates first. As for Naruto, let Kakashi go, this is his job."

Sarutobi Hiruzen declined vaguely.

"Well, okay."

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Might Guy had to give up.

Does Sarutobi Hiruzen really want to train Naruto's taijutsu?

Obviously not.

Lee and the other 02 have followed Might Guy for many years and have already learned his taijutsu skills.

During this month, no matter how much special training they have, it is only a training of physical fitness.

Even if Might Guy has been providing professional guidance to Naruto around the clock for this month, it will not have much impact on Lee and the others.

Regarding this point, Might Guy, a guy with a big nerve, did not think deeply about it, but Kakashi, a meticulous person, almost immediately understood the intention of the Hokage.

Kakashi was just a little disappointed, but he said nothing.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach is indeed in the interests of Konoha Village.

Before Naruto is completely brainwashed by the Will of Fire, the village should focus more on his character rather than pure strength in his training.

Therefore, sending Kakashi to teach Naruto taijutsu instead of Might Guy , is a wise move.

Kakashi looked at Naruto who was exerting great power on the screen, knowing that he could not change Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision. What he can do now is to train Naruto to the best of his ability, or at least to do his best to give an explanation to Naruto, Minato teacher and Kushina master. The second exam will last for five days.

Those who arrive at the finish line early will be arranged to wait in the rest room. During this period, candidates are not allowed to leave the tower.

In the following three days, some people successfully passed the level. Among them, there are many familiar figures to Naruto. The team of Hinata Hyuga, and the three Otogakure from Otogakure Village, Toss, Jin and Sack.

Unfortunately, Shikamaru's team, which was originally able to pass the level, was eliminated due to an accident.

After the five-day exam time was over, all the candidates who passed the level were gathered in the hall.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood high in the center, next to him were examiners such as Red Bean and Ibiki, as well as the guiding ninjas of each candidate.

"All the candidates who have passed the test have arrived. Now please allow the Hokage to give a speech."After counting the number of people, Hongdou returned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said

""Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, holding his pipe, and looking at the candidates.

This made the candidates nervous and focused, and the atmosphere in the examination room suddenly became serious.

"Congratulations on passing the second level exam."

"Next we will proceed to the third level of the exam, but before that, I must make it clear to you............."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a serious face and was about to give a long speech when he was interrupted by an impatient voice.

"Stop talking nonsense! The exam is over, what else is there to say? I don't have time to listen to a speech from an old man like you."

"Let's start the third level quickly."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Naruto lazily leaning against the railing on the viewing platform, a cigarette in his mouth, with an impatient look on his face.

"Hey, kid, the Hokage is going to make an important speech, so just listen quietly!" Red Bean pointed at the troublemaker and warned him viciously.

Naruto looked at Red Bean teasingly and raised his eyebrows,"Teacher Red Bean, do you want to experience that kind of touch again?"

"Bastard! I'll kill you, I'm definitely going to kill you this time!"

Naruto's taunt was very successful, and Red Bean instantly jumped up and down in anger.

But soon, Ibiki, Kakashi and others grabbed her arms.

"Anko, calm down, the Hokage is watching."

""I'm sorry, Red Bean. It's my fault for not teaching him well. I'll teach him a lesson for you later. Calm down, calm down."

Kakashi apologized with a wry smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered the Hokage's bamboo hat with a headache.

Naruto, this kid, ah, sometimes he is cold like an enemy, and sometimes he is naughty and has no rules.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not bother with this problem child. He coughed a few times and said in a deep voice:"Have you made enough trouble? Be quiet!"

Although Red Bean was still angry, she had to hold back her anger because the Hokage was here. She glared at Naruto and stood back in the team.

"In that case, I will make it short. Now you represent your respective countries, your respective villages, and fight for your respective forces.！"

"However, the number of candidates who passed the exam this time is a little over the quota, so there will be a preliminary round before the exam."

At this time, a black shadow flashed by, and a figure knelt on one knee in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Please let the examiner of the third exam, ahem, explain the following matters to me."After saying a few words and coughing, Naruto knew that this guy should be Gekko Gale.

"Well, that's fine. I'll leave it to you, Hayate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Moonlight Hayate turned around, revealing his frail face and dark circles under his eyes, and faced the candidates.

"Hello everyone, ahem, my name is Moonlight Gale, and I’m the examiner for your next preliminaries and the third exam, ahem.

Everyone was afraid that this guy would cough out his lungs.

""Um, examiner." Haruno Sakura raised her hand and asked curiously,"What is the preliminaries? After passing the second exam, shouldn't we go straight to the third?"

This question touched everyone's heart, and all the candidates cast doubtful eyes at Moonlight Gale.

"Well, maybe the first and second exams were too easy, ahem, so there were quite a lot of people left, which was a bit beyond our expectations."

"The third exam is for the entire public, and even daimyo and other village shadow-level figures will be invited to watch, so it cannot be delayed any longer."

Moonlight Gale eased his cough a little, his breath gradually stabilized, and he said weakly:"In order to reduce the scale of the third exam, we will conduct a round of screening here in advance to eliminate some of the waste who are trying to fish in troubled waters."

"But, isn't this too unexpected? This measure was not mentioned at all in the exam introduction, and it seems not to be in compliance with the law.

Some candidates who had gone to great lengths to enter the exam room expressed dissatisfaction.

"Whether it is compliant or not depends on how you look at it. The profession of ninja is to win by surprise and be good at adapting. The rules are just a reference."

Moonlight Gale glared at them, and the candidates closed their mouths helplessly, and could only curse him for tuberculosis in their hearts.

"Next we will have the preliminaries. Oh, by the way, now is the individual competition stage. If you are injured or unwell, you can voluntarily withdraw and it will not affect the team."

Moonlight Gale added.

Having said that, who would give up at this critical moment?

What surprised Naruto was that Kabuto Yakushi did not choose to withdraw, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

Could it be that Orochimaru has other���Forget it?

Naruto couldn't help but look at Kabuto Yakushi who was not far away. Noticing Naruto's gaze, Kabuto Yakushi licked his lips playfully, making Naruto feel uncomfortable and quickly looked away.

"How can I repair it!"A low growl beside him caught Naruto's attention.

Naruto turned his head slightly and saw Sasuke holding his neck.

"Sasuke, how is your wound?"

Sakura noticed the situation here faster than Naruto, and was anxiously concerned about Sasuke.

"It's okay." Sasuke turned his head away stubbornly. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Is it because of the tattoo?"Although Sasuke said so, Sakura, as a girl, was more sensitive and quickly discovered the problem. She said worriedly:"Otherwise, this time....."

""Shut up!!" Sasuke glared at Sakura, gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly:"This is my business, don't worry about it!"

After that, he turned his head and ignored Sakura.

The more Sasuke did this, the more worried Sakura became. She clenched her fists, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She subconsciously looked at Naruto.

Naruto just glared at her, then turned his head away, but his mouth did not stop:"Everyone has his own way to go, no matter who he is, he has no right to interfere with other people's choices."[]

After that, Naruto ignored Sakura, leaving her alone there wiping away tears anxiously.

Looking at Naruto and Sasuke standing in front of her, Sakura suddenly felt that although she was standing behind them, the distance between them in her heart seemed to be getting farther and farther.

At this time, Sasuke frowned. For some reason, he had been inexplicably hurting at the curse seal on his neck since he started lining up.

He didn't know that this was caused by Orochimaru.

"Is it a curse seal?"Sarutobi Hiruzen also discovered the problem

"Hokage, that Sasuke has been targeted by Orochimaru. My suggestion is to protect him now."Red Bean suggested

"That guy is not so obedient."Kakashi suddenly interrupted

"After all, he is from the Uchiha family and is very arrogant."

"What are you talking about? Do you know that he is being targeted by Orochimaru?"Hongdou said anxiously:"Even if we have to use force, we must stop him!"

"Although for some reason he did not suffer much backlash after using the Curse Seal, he was just exhausted, but this should be Orochimaru's conspiracy. In the next battle, he will definitely use the Heaven's Curse Seal. If it continues, the Curse Seal will erode his body and he will be crippled!"

Hongdou, who also has the Heaven's Curse Seal, knows its dangers.

"Red Bean." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been listening in silence, spoke up:"Let's continue this exam."

"Honestly, as the only survivor of the Uchiha family, I also want to know how far Uchiha Sasuke can go."

Since the Hokage has said so, Hongdou has no choice but to return to the team.

Naruto

"I told you, I have my own plans, don't meddle in my business!" Sasuke gritted his teeth and said

"But, Sasuke, why do you have to hold on? This is just an exam.���say

"Shut up!"Sasuke was really impatient. He had to endure the pain while listening to her nagging in his ear.

"I have no objection myself, why are you arguing about it?"

"Whether I become a Chunin or not is not important to me, and I don't care. But this competition must continue!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, looked up unwillingly, and stared at Naruto next to him with burning eyes.

"I am an Avenger! In order to become stronger, I must keep fighting! Here, only by continuing to fight with them can I grow!"

Sasuke turned his eyes away from Naruto and looked at Sakura deeply again.

Although he has a cold personality, Sasuke feels warm in his heart because of his concern over the past few days.

He knew what Sakura was thinking on 527, and his tone became softer, but at the same time with disappointment,"Although you are my companion, we are people from two different worlds after all. You don't understand me, and you don't understand the hatred I carry.

I must fight on and keep getting stronger. My goal is to keep getting stronger and find that person. Either I die or he dies!"

Thinking of that night, Sasuke gritted his teeth, and the last sentence was full of murderous intent, which made Sakura's back unconsciously cold.

Sakura lowered her head and stopped talking.

After waiting for nearly five minutes, Moonlight Gale looked around and said,"Since no one wants to quit, let's start the game now."

""Hey, so soon?" A tired-looking ninja raised his hand and asked,"I just came from the forest, can't we take a break first?"

"Yes, those who came later had enough time to rest, which is unfair to us who came later." Someone echoed.

Moonlight Gale glanced at them coldly and sneered:"Then why didn't you come to the center of the tower earlier? If you come earlier, you will have enough time to rest."

This sentence directly shut them up.

"The privilege of rest is for the strong ones who reach the tower first."

"You are a worthless scum who has no strength. You just rely on time and muddy waters to fish here. You are just filling in the gaps. Just shut up now."

Moonlight Gale said sarcastically, which made those dissatisfied ninjas completely shut up.

"The preliminaries are one-on-one duels, with no fixed rules and all based on strength. Until one party falls to the ground, faints or even dies!"

"If your opponent is too strong, I suggest you don't force yourself and give up as soon as possible."

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much."Moonlight Gale softened his tone and continued,"In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, I will intervene in a timely manner according to the situation. When the outcome is already determined and casualties are likely to occur, I will take action to stop it."

After speaking, Moonlight Gale looked at Hongdou who was standing aside.

Hongdou nodded and whispered through the radio,"Open it."

The wall on one side of the hall opened with a bang, revealing a display screen.

"Next, the names of the two opponents in each battle will be randomly displayed. Please pay attention. If all ten matches are over and the person whose name has not yet been displayed is counted as a bye."

After saying this, Moonlight Gale made a���Point.

The display screen flashed, and the battle information appeared.

Twenty-one names kept flashing.

The candidates immediately became nervous, holding their breath and paying close attention to the display screen.

The flashing words stopped.

The first game.

Uchiha Sasuke VS Akado Armor!

Everyone was driven to the viewing platform, leaving only the two fighting parties standing on the field.

Naruto had no interest in this battle.

There was no physical or ninjutsu worthy of his [Super Record] ability to record.

Looking around bored, he suddenly found that there was an extra figure in the leadership viewing seat of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The man had black hair, combed meticulously, and a serious face. He looked like an old-fashioned middle-aged man.

He was wearing a white kimono, looking solemn and rigorous..
