A convenience store opened in Naruto

They did not have much time to choose. What they could think of, others could naturally think of as well. However, unlike them, the teams sent by other ninja villages to take the exam had limited numbers of people. Even if they wanted to cooperate with teammates from their own village, they could not find anyone to cooperate with.

In this regard, the Twelve Young Warriors, or the contestants from Konoha, have a natural advantage.

But because of this, the contestants from Konoha became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

The examinees from other ninja villages, while discussing countermeasures, stared at them openly, thinking of getting rid of them first and then making it to the end based on their own abilities.

Being stared at, the contestants from Konoha would be lying if they said they were not nervous. They hesitated, not daring to be the first team to enter the examination room.

Mitarashi Anko looked at this scene with an amusement expression. This was something that the Konoha high-ups had anticipated a long time ago. As the invigilator, Mitarashi Anko certainly knew some of the inside story.

It can't be called an inside story, it's something everyone knows.

The Joint Chunin Exam is a platform for the organizers to demonstrate their strength to the outside world.

Since we want to demonstrate our strength, the number of candidates taking the exam becomes an opportunity within the limited rules.

The more candidates the organizer has, the greater the potential of the organizer.

As the saying goes, 'the new generation replaces the old', no one can sit in a position forever, when the time comes, the position will eventually be passed on to the next generation.

With the alternation of positions, the newcomers take over the ideas of the old ones, and the inheritance continues, forming a cycle!

The number and quality of newcomers represent the prosperity and decline of a force. Whether they can take over the ideas of the old and carry forward the good parts also represents the future direction of this force.

Therefore, you can see that whichever ninja village's turn it is to host the Joint Chunin Exam, the number of participating candidates from that village will be several times more than that of other ninja villages.

However, there is also a saying that goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Well, you want to prove yourself, don’t you? You have more people than us, so don’t blame us for joining forces to deal with you.

During the exam, there is no mercy and it is inevitable that you may not be able to stop yourself. When that happens, don't feel sorry for your fellow candidates.

There is no way around it. Small ninja villages are already struggling to survive in the cracks and may disappear one day. Even the big ninja villages are not self-sufficient and need to take on external tasks to ease the village's finances, not to mention the small ninja villages.

Although the Big Ninja Village charges high fees, their mission completion rate is also high. If there is a task that cannot be completed, they will replace it with someone else. There is always someone who can complete the task. After all, the strength of the ninjas from the Big Ninja Village is not to be underestimated.

It's different for their small ninja village. There simply aren't that many ninjas to complete the missions, so they can only take on some missions that slip through the net. When some people post missions, they are not the first choice, unless they can't afford the high mission fee, or the big ninja village thinks the mission is not cost-effective to take, then it will be their turn.

If they don't unite more and show themselves on the platform of the Joint Chunin Exam, they may not be able to receive these missions in the future.

Therefore, it is normal for them, who usually fight on their own, to target the candidates of the organizing party in the joint Chunin Exam.

The organizers obviously know this, but they have confidence in their candidates. Whether in terms of strength or background, they are at the top of the ninja world. Otherwise, how come they are called the 'Five Great Ninja Villages'? This is not something they call themselves, it is recognized by the ninja world.

Therefore, they are not afraid of others targeting them, but they are afraid that no one will target them.

It's still the same old saying, 'The ninja world has never been truly peaceful'. They can't even maintain calm on the surface, let alone the turmoil behind the scenes.

The five major ninja villages are a recognition from others, but they cannot become complacent because of this. They must remain vigilant. Only with external pressure can there be internal motivation.

Just target them, and take this opportunity to let those candidates who have just graduated from school see that there are always people better than you!

It also lets the candidates know what the real world is!

……

In just a moment, Mitarashi Anko thought of a lot of things.

'Ha~'

She yawned out of boredom and said impatiently, "Have you thought it over? Do you want me to give you a day? Go back first and come back tomorrow after you have thought it through?"

"Don't you see what time it is? The sun is about to set!"

"Huh?" Many candidates were speechless as they looked at the scorching sun above their heads.

It's not like we're about to go down the mountain; it's clearly noon, okay?

We came here early in the morning and haven't even had breakfast. We haven't said anything until now. Why are you still urging us?

What? A jonin is so great? An invigilator is so great?

Sorry, the invigilator is amazing. Although she does not have the right to mark your papers, she has the right to eliminate you during the exam!

Facing the strange looks from many candidates, Mitarashi Anko put one hand on her waist and covered her yawning mouth with the other hand, saying, "Ha~ Can't I take a nap? Don't you know that girls need to get enough sleep to have better skin?"

"Auntie, how old are you and you still call yourself a girl?" Naruto wanted to ask this question, but for some reason, he always felt that if he said this, his fate would be very miserable, but if he didn't say it, he would feel uncomfortable.

He wanted to say something but didn't dare to, which made his expression look extremely weird.

"Naruto-kun, what's wrong with you?" Hinata saw Naruto twisting and turning while sitting on the ground, and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Naruto waved his hands and finally forced himself to suppress the idea of ​​committing suicide.

At this time, the other people also discussed the result.

"You're the last one, it's time to go." Sasuke said with a cold face.

"Oh, ok, see you later Hinata."

Naruto stood up, brushed the dirt off his pants, said goodbye to Hinata, and then followed Sakura and Sasuke to a simple wooden house next to the entrance of the examination room.

The cabin was obviously built temporarily and was extremely simple. It only had a roof and four pillars supporting the roof. It didn't even have walls, but was surrounded by curtains.

The curtain was opened and three people walked in.

'It's so dark!'

No one knew what material the curtain was made of, but it blocked the sunlight from outside, making the cabin a little dark. Naruto subconsciously narrowed his eyes out of excitement.

After getting used to the light in the cabin, he looked around the environment curiously.

In the small 'room', there was a long table made of several wooden boards. Behind the table, there were three chairs that looked like chairs. Well... let's just call them chairs, since they can be sat on anyway.

The three invigilators who had just been guarding the entrance to the examination room were now sitting on their chairs.

"Have you made up your mind? It's not too late to give up now." said the invigilator sitting on the middle chair. He had seen too many people escaping from the city, and the reason he asked this question was simply because he was used to it.

Speaking of which, every time there is a similar competition in the village, you can see him. He is the old invigilator.

Sasuke didn't say anything. He picked up the pen on the table and signed his name on the consent form. Sakura and Naruto also signed their names on their consent forms.

Now that they have come this far, none of the three of them intend to give up.

The invigilator on the left put the consent form signed by the three people into a box under the table. The invigilator on the right took out a scroll from another box and asked, "Who will take it?"

Just as Naruto was about to speak, Sakura covered his mouth. Sasuke took the scroll silently and put it in his ninja tool bag.

The ninja tool bag is the only thing that can be brought into the examination room besides the clothes on the body. After all, weapons are the livelihood of a ninja. Many ninjas do not have weapons, so their strength will be greatly reduced.

Most ninjas use small items such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon as weapons, and the ninja tool bag is used to store these small items.

The function is similar to a backpack.

Usually ninjas hang it around their waists, and some hang it in other places. It depends on personal habit, anyway, they do whatever is most convenient.

Ye Feng, who was not here, often wondered whether the ninja tool bag was the same as the space bag in fantasy novels. Otherwise, how could it hold so many things?

It doesn’t look big.

After coming to this world, Ye Feng discovered through research when he was bored that it was not a space bag, but something similar to the Pym particles in Marvel.

The tool kit can shrink the things stored inside it, and return to normal after taking them out. This is why it can hold a lot of things.

I don’t know who invented it. If the inventor lived in a scientific world, I wonder what kind of achievements he would have made.

Then there is the Sealing Scroll, which is even more outrageous than the tool kit.

In short, the scientific worldview is simply not applicable in a world with strange powers, such as the ninja world with chakra energy. It would be better to use science.

Back to the point, the cloth curtains are good at blocking out light, but not at blocking out sound. Even if they were, no one would be stupid enough to reveal the attributes of their team's scrolls, let alone shout out something like "I'll take it".

This is all strategic talk.

If you don't say it out loud, no one will know what attributes the scroll has in your team, and no one will know who has the scroll. When you want to snatch it, others will also think about whether it is appropriate to take action.

Of course, there are some old men who use this as an opportunity to set traps and shout it out deliberately to confuse others.

This kind of person is either confident in his own ability or really stupid.

Considering that Naruto was often unreliable, Sakura thought it was better to play it safe.

The scroll cannot be placed on Naruto and myself because I am not strong enough and I might be left alone. Although it is unlikely, it is better to place it on Sasuke just in case.

After putting away the scroll, Sasuke pointed to the number plates on the table. There were dozens of number plates with different numbers written on them, from one to forty-four, corresponding to the forty-four entrances to the examination rooms.

The number plate that Sasuke chose was the entrance that the Twelve Warriors had agreed upon outside.

They decided to change part of the plan. The plan would remain unchanged after entering the examination room, but there was no need to hide since they would all reunite anyway. In that case, it would be better to reunite directly to avoid separating and then reunite, which would cause unnecessary complications.

So they decided to go in through the same entrance, the one Sasuke had chosen.

After making the choice, Sasuke did not stop and walked out again with Naruto and Sakura.

After Sakura's whispered "conversation", Naruto calmed down. When he saw Sasuke taking the scroll before, he was still unconvinced. If Sakura hadn't covered his mouth, he would have started to complain.

The door to the examination room was opened. Sasuke and the other two stepped in and soon disappeared into the woods.

With their lead, the rest of the candidates also came to the cabin, some signed, some took scrolls, and then, led by the invigilator, entered the examination room from the entrance of their choice.

Neji and the other two stayed at the end. A pair of large black glasses blocked his eyes. He had his back to the crowd. Rock Lee and Tenten stood behind him.

Due to the perspective, from the beginning to the end, from the moment Sasuke and the other two stepped into the cabin to the moment many candidates entered the examination room, no one noticed that Neji's Byakugan was always open.

As Neji and the other two entered the examination room, the door was locked. It would take five days before it could be opened again.

……

Sasuke, who was jumping on a thick branch, suddenly stopped, causing Naruto, who was following closely behind him, to bump into his back unexpectedly, causing Sasuke to almost fall off the tree.

Quickly stabilizing himself, Sasuke roared in a low voice with black lines on his face: "You idiot, what are you doing?"

"Why are you asking me? I haven't asked you yet," Naruto rubbed his forehead and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you stop suddenly? If you hadn't stopped suddenly, how could I have bumped into you?"

"You're such an idiot!" Sasuke was speechless. "How long are you going to go without stopping? Why don't you just stop at the end and not wait for the others?"

"Oh yeah!" Naruto slapped his forehead, "I totally forgot about that."

Seeing the two men stop, Sakura, who was a few steps behind, jumped to the branch where the two were standing and nodded to Sasuke, who nodded in response.

Naruto looked left and right, and asked suspiciously, "Are you two hiding something from me? What does nodding mean?"

"It's meaningless," Sasuke said, turning back to the direction they came from. He didn't want to waste words with Naruto. "It's so obvious that you can't see it. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?" Naruto was even more dissatisfied. He always felt that Sasuke underestimated his intelligence. "You keep talking like an idiot. Do you really think I'm an idiot? I'll understand once you tell me."

Sasuke gave Naruto a sidelong look and said nothing, but it made Naruto a little crazy: "Ahhh! That look again, I'm warning you, if you look at me like that again, I will, I will..."

"What about you?" A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Sasuke's mouth. He could understand Naruto's mood at the moment, because this kind of squinting look was something he learned from Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had also looked at him with this kind of eyes before. Sasuke experienced that feeling of occupying the high ground in IQ and being superior to others. In one word - it’s so cool!

"I will, I will..." After thinking for a long time, Naruto found that he had nothing that could threaten Sasuke. He turned his head away angrily and snorted, "I will never talk to you again!"

"Huh!" Sakura felt goosebumps all over her body.

Sasuke was also disgusted and said unhappily: "Then thank you so much!"
