The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

The appearance of Orochimaru did not have much impact. Sarutobi Hiruzen still had no intention of ending the Chuunin examination, but only redoubled his vigilance.

And after Orochimaru left the Death Forest.

Hinata, Sasuke, and Saai also passed the second assessment without incident.

As people cleared the customs, they gradually arrived at the central tower of the Death Forest.

The battle competition for the third assessment has officially begun.

have to say.

In this life, the emergence of the butterfly effect of Li Yaoxiang has greatly changed the entire assessment.

First of all, the most eye-catching one is of course Haruno Sakura.

In the original book, until this point in time, Kakashi, the mentor, has not taught any special ninjutsu or taijutsu except for teaching Naruto, Sasuke and Haruno Sakura how to walk in water and climb trees.

.

I don’t know if it’s because of the instructions from the Four Elders of Konoha, or if it’s just a novice teacher who doesn’t know how to teach.

In this life, Naruto did not stay in Konoha to graduate, and Li Yaoxiang did not have the opportunity to look through the crystal ball.

However, it doesn't matter whether Kakashi is entrusted by someone or not.

But it is an indisputable fact that he wasted the talent of Haruno Sakura, a top student.

But Haruno Sakura in this life is completely different!

She took Hinata's place and joined Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino's eighth team.

Yuhi Hong became her mentor.

In addition to teaching her a lot of illusions, he also had others teach her a lot of medical ninjutsu.

This also leads to the fact that Yamanaka Ino, who was supposed to be on par with Haruno Sakura, will lose to Haruno Sakura in this life.

The only thing that remains unchanged is.

The object of Haruno Sakura's heart is still Sasuke.

She often pretended to contact Sasuke, but Sasuke was just like the original and ignored her.

Secondly, there is the battle between Rock Lee and Gaara.

Different from the original work, Gaara was not beaten into a panic by Rock Lee who opened the four doors. The influence that Naruto brought to him was not just a change in his personality.

There are also many changes in strength.

A few years ago, Naruto had almost broken through his absolute defense with his speed. How could he not strengthen his shortcomings when he regarded Naruto as a competitor?

This resulted in Rock Lee losing completely in this life.

However, because of the change in Gaara's character, Rock Lee in this life did not leave the scene with serious injuries like in the original work. It was just that he could not successfully act handsome in front of Haruno Sakura, which made him depressed for a moment.

Next, there is the battle between Hinata and Hyuga Neji.

Not surprisingly.

Hinata, who was greatly influenced by Naruto, won this victory.

Also because of Hinata's outstanding performance in this life, Hyuga Neji did not look down on her, the eldest lady of the clan, but the resentment he should have was still buried deep in his heart.

that's all.

The pre-selection for the third assessment has officially ended.

The formal selection will begin in one month.

…

After the third test, Naruto had been suppressing the urge to recognize Hinata and Sasuke.

It took a lot of effort to endure it for several days.

However, on the morning of the third day, Hiruzen Sarutobi sent an ANBU to summon Naruto to the Hokage Tower.

Naruto was fine when he saw that he was free.

There was no rejection either.

What Naruto didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped into the Hokage's room, he saw a scene that made him very happy! Sasuke and Hinata were also in the Hokage's room!

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Naruto's arrival, he greeted Hinata and Sasuke and said, "Hahaha, the acquaintance I want you to meet is here."

What is different from Sarutobi Hiruzen's fake expression.

Sasuke looked at the masked guy in front of him with provocation.

Hinata was stunned for a moment, and then quickly regained her calm expression.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also stood up from his seat, walked to Naruto in a familiar manner, put his arm on Naruto's shoulders, walked to Hinata and Sasuke and said: "How? I'm going to introduce you to you.

What? Or will you reveal it yourself?"

Naruto didn't pay attention to what the old man next to him was saying.

When he saw Hinata and Sasuke, he was really excited.

What is repressive or not?

do not care!

We haven’t seen each other for so long, but now that we are so close, I can’t bear it anymore!

Naruto's hand slowly reached towards the mask.

Immediately, he took it off suddenly!

Da da!

Surprised or not?

Is it surprising?

Hey hey hey!

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and then regained his eager expression: "It turns out to be you, no wonder you are so strong. What's up, Naruto, your training has not fallen behind in the past few years, right?

Let me tell you, if you hadn't turned into that big fox, you might not be my opponent."

Sasuke is still Sasuke.

Unwilling to admit defeat as always.

See yourself as your opponent and want to defeat yourself.

Not seeing the overjoyed expression as he imagined, he was a little disappointed, but Naruto still responded quickly: "Of course not!

There will definitely be a chance for you to see it in the future!”

Finished.

Naruto turned his attention to Hinata.

But when Naruto saw Hinata's expressionless look, his face instantly fell, and his mood fell to a low point, but he still managed to squeeze out two words: "Hinata..."

"Well, just come back." Hinata nodded, and then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Grandpa Hokage, if there is nothing important, then I will leave first."

"Well, let's go." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was observing Hinata's every move.

Not long after Hinata passed Naruto.

It was Sasuke's turn again to put his hands in his trouser pockets and look past Naruto coolly.

As he passed by, he said provocatively: "I hope you won't let me down."

Immediately afterwards.

It's the Hokage room.

All that's left is an embarrassing scene.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still hanging on Naruto's shoulders, while Naruto was completely stunned, his mind going blank.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Naruto on the shoulder: "Hahahaha, it's okay, Naruto. Maybe it's been too long since we haven't seen each other, so that's why. If we get along with each other for a while, things should get better."

Naruto's mind was buzzing.

He didn't listen to what Sarutobi Hiruzen said at all.

He just turned around stupidly.

Take a step.

Pause.

Take a step.

Pause.

Left the Hokage Building.

…

at the same time.

A hot spring shop not far from the Hokage Tower.

Outside the fence of the women's bathhouse, squatting was a guy with white hair and a bundle of large scrolls on his back! This man was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha, who had just returned!

And the dull Naruto happened to pass by here after leaving the Hokage Tower.

But what is different from the original work is that Naruto cannot see anyone in his mind at this moment.

He didn't notice Jiraiya's existence at all.

He just passed Jiraiya in a daze.

Jiraiya, who was still focusing on 'collecting materials', frowned and glanced at Naruto who was passing by with the corner of his eye.

He stopped 'retrieving'.

He appeared in front of Naruto in a flash, with his hands on his hips and a grin: "Hahahahaha! Brat, do you know that you are blocking my way!"

Naruto ignored him.

He moved slightly to the side and passed Jiraiya again.

Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.

But still don’t give up.

Then he dodged again and appeared in front of Naruto: "Hey! Brat, do you know who I am?"

Naruto's eyes were empty and he looked up at the guy in front of him.

No words were spoken.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly and energetically put on his signature pose: "I am the Toad Elf of Mt. Myoboku, the Taoist Senso, and I am also known as the Toad Immortal—!"

Naruto's eyelids were half-open: "Is something wrong? If nothing happens, can you please stop blocking my way?"

Finished.

He didn't say anything when he saw Jirai.

Naruto passed him again.

Unable to pretend any longer, Jiraiya finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to Naruto's side, followed Naruto's pace, and said as he walked: "Hey, brat. Is your name Uzumaki Naruto?

I am your father's teacher.

It’s not an exaggeration for you to call me Master, do you know that?”

Only then did Naruto's emotions change. He stopped and looked at Jiraiya coldly: "What qualifications do you have for me to call you that?"

Jiraiya was speechless for a while when Naruto asked.

Immediately, he stared blankly at Naruto's leaving figure.

After a while.

In the Hokage room.

Jiraiya pressed his hands on the table and made a loud 'pop' sound: "Old man! What's going on?! Why did Minato's child become like that?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Then he put on a look of pity for the world.

Tells Naruto's experience.

And the fact that Naruto has been away from Konoha for several years.

"Damn it!" Jiraiya's face was once again close to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "How could you treat Naruto like this?! Don't you think that he is Minato's child?!"

"Hey, our original intention was also for Naruto's good. Unexpectedly, Naruto misunderstood us too deeply. For the sake of the safety of the village, we had no choice but to make this choice."

Hiruzen looked like he didn't want to do it either.

Jiraiya: "What about now?! He actually came back to report the news for Konoha. That means he still has feelings for Konoha. Why did he have that expression when he came out of the Hokage Tower just now?!"

Immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained to Jiraiya the relationship between Hinata, Sasuke, and Naruto.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Perhaps it was Hinata's behavior that made him unable to react for a while. It's okay. It's the child's matter. We can just get along with him for a while."

Jiraiya was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The main purpose of his return this time is to find the son of prophecy mentioned by the 'Big Toad Immortal'! It's better now! What else can he do if the son of prophecy is done like this by these old guys?!

If the old man in front of him wasn't his teacher, he would really want to curse!

Knowing that it would not help, he could only snort in the end.

Leave the Hokage room.

…

Time flies.

Time flies.

One...month...after...

In the past month, Jiraiya had been pretending to bother Naruto, but he was rejected by Naruto all the time. As for Naruto, he still remained reclusive.

Except for sometimes going to exchange news with Gaara and others at night, he would stay at home most of the time. As mentioned before, this was because he did not want the people of Sunagakure Village to find out.

That's why.

No matter how much Naruto wanted to find Hinata during this period of time.

But he still endured it.

I kept telling myself in my heart.

As soon as this matter is over, I must ask Hinata for clarification!

Ask her why she treats herself like this!

He didn't believe Hinata would forget him!

In this way, the time came for the day of the selection competition. Today's venue was full of people. It was even more lively than when Hiruzen Sarutobi announced Naruto's identity.

Many famous people have already arrived at the scene.

The selection competition has also officially begun.

At the beginning, it was all relatively boring fights.

It's not a complete crushing.

There's just nothing flashy to see.

The big names didn't pay much attention.

After all, the main purpose of their visit this time is just to see who has the biggest fist among the next generation of military power from various countries.

no doubt.

What they focus on is only the battle between the strongest.

That is, Uchiha Sasuke, who represents Konoha, and Gaara, who represents Sunagakure Village.

As for Naruto, a guy with an unknown identity who crushes his opponents every time, they don't pay much attention. It's just a chuunin test anyway. No matter how outstanding Naruto is, he is only a chuunin.

Konoha is the host organization.

Of course we won't keep these big names waiting for too long.

They quickly arranged for the battle to begin.

quickly.

Gaara, who finally stood on the field with his hands crossed, stood still.

And Sasuke put his hands in his pants pockets.

Both sides are very confident in their own strength.

Without hiding his fighting spirit, he looked directly at the opponent.

Neither of them is talkative.

As soon as the referee announced the start, the two men immediately took action!

Gaara used sand for attack and defense as always.

Sasuke kept walking around the entire arena.

Sasuke, who had watched Rock Lee's match, certainly knew that long range attacks or ordinary ninjutsu would not have any effect on Gaara.

Therefore, he simply used a close attack like Rock Li!

However, his speed was faster than Locke Li who opened the four doors!

Seeing that every attack was about to hit Gaara, Sasuke taunted arrogantly while fighting: "Is this the strength of the new generation of Sunagakure Village's strongest?

Ah.

If you don't have stronger means.

That's embarrassing.

I have no interest in tangling with you any longer.

I still need to retain my strength to deal with 'him'."

Gaara was still so cold, his eyes kept following Sasuke's figure. At the same time, he did not forget to tease: "You are far behind 'him'. You are not the best of Konoha's new generation."

Strong man, I am not interested in you either."

Sasuke froze.

Stopped moving.

"Do you know him?" Sasuke asked.

"I heard him mention you. He said that you are also very strong. It seems that he has not been back for too long and overestimated your strength." Gaara said.

Sasuke's expression condensed!

The left hand buzzes! The right hand thunders!

Seeing this scene, all the daimyo present craned their necks, fearing that they might miss something.

Seeing this, Gaara couldn't help but shrink his pupils, but he quickly returned to his natural expression: "I take back what I just said. Your strength is very good."

Sasuke grinned: "But I still feel that your strength...is not that good?"

The corner of Gaara's mouth curled up slightly: "Stop it, today is not the time, I will fight you again if I have the chance."

Finished.

The whole venue was in a trance.

The whole crowd fell asleep one after another.

The Konoha Collapse Plan is officially launched!

(ps: It will finally be on the shelves at 12 o’clock tonight~~~Please support me.)
