During those three days, Gaara and I hardly encountered any serious opponents.

At first I thought the people we met were too weak, but it turned out that everyone’s level was about the same, and I finally understood what level a normal Genin should be.

It’s not that the others are too weak, but that the people we meet at the beginning are too strong.

The first opponent is Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, and the second opponent is Gaara, who will become the Kazekage in less than three years...

Even a Chunin or a Jonin could not say that he or she would be able to take care of both of them.

But even such a powerful person was no match for Uchiha Sasuke in the end...

Thinking of this, my sense of crisis suddenly deepened.

We didn't deliberately go out of our way to collect scrolls, but just by walking towards the tower, we would meet more and more people.

Some people whose scrolls were stolen want to steal others' scrolls, some people have already collected all the scrolls but want to collect more...

Gaara's sand pushed through countless ambushes and traps, leaving nothing behind.

"Morning dew!"

On the third day, we met Brother Dou.

"Brother Dou!" I was very surprised to see an acquaintance. "Have you collected all the scrolls? If not, we have extra ones here, both heaven and earth!"

"Thank you, but our team is complete," Dou Ge said, "but why... aren't you with your teammates?"

"Did Kabuto meet Naruto and the others?"

"Ah... yeah. I saw him with Shikamaru and the others a while ago. He had a fight with Sasuke."

I was stunned: "Sasuke woke up? Naruto and Sasuke had a fight?"

"Yeah... Uchiha Sasuke seems to be out of control. His whole body is covered with black marks. He may be confused and can't tell friend from foe... Fortunately, he was controlled in time by others."

I asked anxiously, "Is Naruto hurt?"

"They were slightly injured, but I happened to know some medical ninjutsu, so I helped heal them."

"Thank you, Brother Dou!"

"I was shocked to see you weren't there, and I thought something had happened to you. When I asked, they told me that you left with Gaara from the Sand Village." He glanced at Gaara and pushed up his glasses, "How did you get together?"

"It's a bit complicated for the moment. Anyway... well, we have a very good relationship now and we are already friends!"

Dou Ge's expression became strange. "You have met a lot of people along the way, right? Do you know what the rumors are like?"

I was a little confused: "What rumor?"

"There's a rumor about a certain Genin from the Sand Village falling in love at first sight with a certain Genin from Konoha and then pursuing her madly."

I:"……"

Gaara: "..."

Kabuto looked at Gaara and said politely, "Excuse me, can I borrow Asaro's space to talk?"

Gaara glanced at him, turned around and walked away silently.

Brother Kabuto then looked at me and said, "Although Konoha and the Sand Village are allies, the Chunin Exam is still based on the village as a whole... isn't it?"

Brother Kabuto doesn't seem to want me and Gaara to get too close.

"But……"

Gaara didn't fall in love with me at first sight, nor did he pursue me madly. But if I deny this statement, I have to come up with an explanation myself, which involves the Sharingan. By comparison, it is better to admit that Gaara fell in love with me at first sight.

"Well."

"Also, I heard from Shikamaru that the first thing Sasuke did after waking up was to ask where you had been."

I was slightly startled.

"He seemed to think you were being held hostage."

"Naruto, didn't they explain?"

"Kankurō and Temari...they are Gaara's teammates, right? Kankurō seemed to have said, 'Be thankful that Gaara fell in love with your companion at first sight, otherwise, she and this guy named Sasuke would have been crushed to death long ago', and Sasuke thought you were threatened by Gaara..."

"what?"

"Sasuke seems to be very upset, thinking that he is dragging you down because he is not strong enough. It seems that Chaolu's companions care about you very much."

I sighed, "Well, I'm glad they're okay. I'm about to go back."

I'll explain it to them after I get back.

"So where were you when you met them before, Brother Dou?"

"Even if I tell you, you won't be able to meet them if you go there now. Why don't we head towards the tower together? Shikamaru also said before I came here that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack in the Death Forest, it's better to head towards the tower together. We will definitely meet them."

That's true.

"Hey, Dou-nii, do you want to join us?"

"Yeah... I'm worried about you being alone."

Don't worry?

Brother Kabuto, who has always followed Orochimaru, is definitely not as gentle and harmless as he appears. Although I am happy to see him, is it his own wish or Orochimaru's wish for him to appear in front of me?

Maybe it was to collect my information and data.

So did I arouse the interest of Kabuto or the interest of Orochimaru?

Without the Sharingan, would Orochimaru really notice me?

Or does Brother Dou care about the welfare home a lot and noticed me because I came from an welfare home?

"I'd love to, but I need to ask Gaara's opinion first."

"He seems to listen to you." Brother Dou said, "He looked so dangerous at the beginning, but now he seems like a wild beast tamed by you."

The tone in which Brother Dou said this made people feel a little uncomfortable.

It was an attitude very similar to that of Orochimaru - treating others as tools, not to be taken seriously, but only to exploit their value.

"Gaara... is a very good person. Please don't say that about him."

"You said he's good..." Dou Ge was silent for a moment, "Do you know him?"

I smiled widely at Brother Dou. "We've only known each other for about three days, so I can't say that we know each other very well. But I think we're making good progress, and maybe we can become good friends in the future!"

After that, I went to find Gaara. I thought Gaara would not be willing to let Kabuto join in, but he nodded and said, "Okay."

I somehow feel that if it were Sasuke, he would definitely be upset now. I agreed to accompany him for three days, and he would never allow to be disturbed in advance. But although Gaara seemed very paranoid and strong at the beginning, after getting familiar with him, he was very emotionally stable and easy-going.

That peaceful feeling of "whatever happens is fine" sometimes makes me feel that he is very similar to Shino.

This tolerant attitude finally began to resemble the demeanor of the Kazekage that Kankuro-sama remembered.

For some reason, I actually felt somewhat relieved.

Just like that, the three of us, Genin from different teams, formed a unique patchwork team and headed towards the tower together.

It's a rare opportunity to spend time with Brother Dou, so I quickly asked, "Brother Dou, Brother Urusi said you are a genius in medical ninjutsu. Can you teach me some medical ninjutsu?"

Dou Ge was stunned: "He... said that to me?"

"Yeah, when I first said I wanted to be a medical ninja, he thought I was learning from you!"

"Don't you want to now?"

"Now... I still want to rush forward to fight. If I want to be a medical ninja, I want to be the kind of medical ninja who can rush forward to fight, like Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas!" I smiled a little embarrassedly, "But learning more medical ninjutsu so that I can heal my companions when necessary is also good, I think."

"...What do you want to learn?" Brother Dou's fingertips pulled out a thin scalpel, "The weapons used by medical ninjas are different from those used by ordinary ninjas."

The time I spend with Brother Dou is limited, what aspect of him do I most want to know?

Soon, I made a decision.

"I want to learn some medical ninjutsu related to the eyes. Isn't my teammate Sasuke from the Uchiha clan? I feel like it might be useful in the future. How about relieving his eye fatigue?"

"Compared to relieving fatigue, I think another ninjutsu is more useful."

"what?"

"Transplantation surgery." Brother Kabuto pushed up his glasses. "If he gets into danger and is seriously injured and dying, wouldn't it be a pity if his Sharingan is destroyed along with it? In a critical moment, transplanting his eyes to himself or someone else might be a way out."

I was slightly startled. Seeing this, Brother Dou laughed and said, "I'm kidding. Besides, this kind of surgery can't be learned in a day or two. You have to dissect countless corpses, fully understand the human body, and study countless materials to accumulate experience before you can start."

I suddenly asked, "So the person who can perform this kind of surgery must be very powerful, right?"

"He is an excellent medical ninja."

"If it's done on a battlefield, it would be even more amazing, right?"

"Battlefield?"

"Yes, if you can succeed under such simple conditions, how amazing it is!"

Didn’t Lin perform such an operation before?

She is really amazing, and I absolutely cannot tarnish her reputation!

However, due to limited conditions, Brother Dou was unable to teach me the transplant surgery, but he patiently taught me many ways to accurately control chakra.

When we arrived at the tower, the time left for the exam was very tight. From a distance, I saw Naruto's golden hair. Sasuke was standing beside him. Although his face was still a little pale, he was able to move normally.

I immediately waved my arms at them excitedly.

Shikamaru was also nearby, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this and said, "Really... it's too slow!"
