In Konoha, Naruto lies down

It was still early, and the woods were unusually quiet in the early morning. Naruto stood in the training ground, looking around as if he was looking for something.

"Naruto-kun...why are you here?"

Suddenly, Hinata timidly emerged from the wooden stakes in the training ground, and asked carefully with her hands clenched.

At this time, Hinata was wearing a light blue long-sleeved retro jacket on the upper body and black seven-quarter straight pants on the lower body, which made her look dignified and beautiful.

"Sending food." Naruto lifted the brown paper bag in his hand and said, "Didn't we make an appointment to have barbecue last time? I haven't run into you since then."

"I'm sorry, I've been training all the time so..." Hinata lowered her head. She didn't want to say that her father had completely ignored her, so she had been gritting her teeth and training just to prove herself.

"It's okay." Naruto walked over, handed the paper bag to Hinata and said, "Hinata, you'll definitely become stronger if you work so hard."

"I haven't changed a thing." Hinata said dejectedly, "Last time when I faced Brother Neji, it was you, Naruto, who helped me to hold on for a few rounds. I think if it were me, I might not even be able to hold on for a single round."

"You can't say that." Naruto pulled out a bunch of meatballs from the bag and took a bite to comfort him, "Hinata, you knew you couldn't win but still insisted. That's very brave of you."

"Becoming stronger doesn't happen overnight. You still need to have some confidence in yourself."

"Thank you, Naruto-kun." Hinata looked up and smiled again, "I understand. I will try my best."

"Then will you eat?"

"Ah."

Hinata felt a little uncomfortable with Naruto's frank gaze and was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.

"This is red bean balls, that is fried tempura, cake." Naruto searched for them and handed them to Hinata, "You know how to eat this, right?"

“Ah, I can eat.”

"What about this? This seems to taste good, although I haven't eaten it much, but the boss said it is very popular among girls." Naruto took out a lot of snacks, as if he really came to deliver food to Hinata.

"Naruto-kun."

"Hmm?" Naruto looked up at Hinata.

"Thank you."

"it is good."

Hinata was stunned. No one would say "good" in response. Shouldn't the normal response to a thank you be "it's okay"? Naruto's "good" immediately threw Hinata off her feet, and her face instantly turned red.

"what happened to you?"

"I was wondering... Naruto-kun, why are you so nice to me?" Hinata said, looking away with her head down. "It's hard to like someone like me. I always fail at everything I do, and I'm a coward."

"You've done great. I don't know why you feel so inferior, Hinata, but I think you're actually very gentle to others. Your companions must like you very much, so there's no need to worry about this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Hinata raised her eyes and glanced at him secretly, her movements as cute as a kitten. Then she quickly lowered her head, showing an embarrassed expression, and pursed her lips in a faint smile.

Naruto's unexpected frankness made Hinata smile, which was extremely difficult for her to show in front of outsiders. Even though Naruto did not have the kind of feelings for Hinata that someone of the opposite sex had at the moment, his heartbeat inevitably quickened.

"Naruto-kun, I... I'm very happy." Hinata smiled softly and stuttered, "This is the first time someone has praised me like that, so..."

"You'll hear it often in the future, so it's okay." Naruto said, "The Chunin Exams are about to begin, aren't you going?"

"Sorry... Naruto-kun, I made an appointment with Kiba and the others to go together." Hinata's face was full of guilt.

"It's okay, I'll be on my way first." Naruto said goodbye to Hinata, "Goodbye Hinata, cheer up!"

"Yeah." Hinata had a shy look on her face.

"Goodbye...Naruto-kun."

Chapter 62 Uzumaki Naruto, you are under arrest!

[Strategy to capture Hinata, Nine-Tailed Fox's approval 16.1%]

Naruto walked into the arena and looked around for a long time before finding his team.

Ino and Sakura, who didn't have to play, sat together, talking about something. Nearby, Choji was eating potato chips, watching the lively scene with great interest. Seeing Naruto approach, he quickly raised his chubby paw and waved.

"Here! Here!"

Seeing this, Naruto finally squeezed through the dense crowd and found a seat. The four of them lined up in a row, and Naruto sat next to Choji. He asked before he even sat down.

"Chouji, are you feeling better?"

In the additional test of the second round of the Chunin Exam, Choji was defeated by Kiba Inuzuka. After taking the pill, Choji's body was damaged so much that he was carried directly to the Konoha Hospital by the medical team.

"It's totally fine now!" Choji said with a silly smile, "But sending four or five boxes of fruit is a bit too much, isn't it? Even my dad was scared by you, and I don't like fruit."

"Being picky about food isn't a good habit. Eat your fruits regularly during your recovery period, Choji."

The moment Naruto sat down, he habitually reached out and grabbed a handful of potato chips. He then picked up a paper bag and distributed the canned drinks he had prepared long ago to the three of them. However, he looked up and saw Sakura, who was on the far left, seemed a little distracted.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

"Ah! What?"

Sakura, who was called, suddenly came to her senses and met Naruto's puzzled eyes.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

"Sakura must be worried about Sasuke. She hasn't seen him for a month." Ino said.

Sakura didn't deny it, but just lowered her head and said it with a depressed look.

"Teacher Kakashi came to me half a month ago. He said that the curse seal on Sasuke has serious side effects and there might be accidents during training. He asked me to find a way to reserve a bed for Sasuke."

"What happened next?" Ino asked.

Sakura shook her head and said, "Nothing happened."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Naruto cracked open the can and took a sip. "Sasuke has always wanted to become stronger, right? He's talked about revenge before. If the curse seal can give him strength..."

"But that's too dangerous." Sakura said with a dazed look on her face.

"Well, Sasuke has a match today, right?" Ino saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

Naruto didn't say anything else. Sasuke lived for revenge and it was impossible for him to settle down as Sakura wished.

The boy's hatred grew wildly like weeds in the wilderness. Just a little spark and the wildfire would cover the sky.

Sakura didn't understand the meaning of genocide and hatred, and no one could truly empathize with her. If one day Uchiha Sasuke let go of his hatred, he would definitely be dead at that moment, and if he were alive, he would be just a shell.

As a companion, it is better to let him take revenge easily and happily instead of stopping him. But even so, Naruto will not try to change Sakura's mind.

The competition in the audience has already begun. Kankuro gave up at the beginning, and Hyuga Neji advanced.

The moment the two entered the stage, the crowd around them cheered. They didn't understand what a ninja was, nor did they understand ninjutsu, but simply reveled in their own philosophy. Even if they were called worthless scum, they still believed that the village ninja would protect them.

Naruto tilted his head back and took a sip of his drink, his knuckles holding the can in his hand. Hearing the roar of cheers erupt from the arena, watching their excitement, he felt like a crowd at the Colosseum.

The very idea of ​​changing someone's mind is ridiculous.

At the start of the match, Kankuro forfeited, allowing Hyuga Neji to advance. The first round was a bye, and the second round began immediately with Inuzuka Kiba versus Aburame Shino, a battle that saw both of them going back and forth.

Both the Inuzuka and Aburame clans relied on animals for their scouting, and the battles were quite exciting. However, when a swarm of insects swept across the arena, the audience could see nothing, and Inuzuka Kiba collapsed.

The third match was between Gaara of the Sand Village and Uchiha Sasuke, which was also the biggest highlight of the Chunin Exam. However, Uchiha Sasuke did not show up on time, and the referee team stood there and discussed for a long time before deciding to give Sasuke a forfeit.

The audience was so excited that they started cursing!

"I bet on that Uchiha brat to win, and you're telling me you don't want to compete anymore?"

"Can't it be postponed? You have to declare it a loss! We've waited so long, and this is what you show us?"

"Fuck! Give me back my money!" Naruto shouted as he stood up.

"Refund! Refund!"

Suddenly, the cries for refunds spread like a tide, starting from the cheap seats at the top and spreading all the way to the civilian seats. Chouji, standing by, was stunned, dropping the potato chips in his hand to the ground, staring at Naruto in shock.

Naruto turned around and frowned at the confused faces of Choji, Ino and Sakura.

"Come on, shout together! Do you want Sasuke to be disqualified?"

Naruto ignored them and jumped onto the railing, continuing to shout in protest. Relying on his status as a ninja, he threw the can into the arena and let out an extremely inflammatory roar.

"Another shady plot! Postpone it for me!"

The audience in the stands were suddenly excited and protested wildly towards the referee team headed by Genma Shiranui!

"Postponed! We want to see Uchiha Sasuke's match!!"

"Please postpone it! I've invested all my wealth in Uchiha! If you don't postpone it, I'll jump right here!"

Just as Naruto was about to organize the audience to riot, two pairs of hands were placed on his left and right shoulders. He looked up and saw two Anbu...

Naruto's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he coughed and shouted to the front.

"Quality! Where is the quality! This is too much!"

The Anbu stared at Naruto coldly, their hands on his shoulders like iron clamps.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you are under arrest for inciting a riot."

"You've caught the wrong guy, hey!" Naruto refused to accept it, but was still dragged away. "Damn it, I want to see the Hokage!"

"Hokage-sama has no time for you!"

"I'm a law-abiding villager. You can't arrest me! Hey! I've made an indelible contribution to the peace of the village!"

As the ANBU ninja left, Naruto's voice gradually faded away. Sakura, Ino, and Choji in the stands were all stunned. They looked at each other, feeling that reality was too magical!

"Naruto he..." Choji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"I'm worried." Sakura stood up and walked towards the direction where the Anbu took Naruto away.

"Sakura, I'll go with you!" Ino quickly stood up and followed.

"Why...it's useless even if you go?"

Shikamaru sat there, and before he could put a mouthful of potato chips into his mouth, he suddenly froze as if he remembered something.

His pupils dilated and he suddenly stood up, not caring about the potato chips that fell to the ground. He turned around and jogged to catch up.

"No! Those two aren't ANBU ninja!"

At this moment, goose feathers suddenly fell from the stands like snow. It seemed as if someone was singing a ballad, which made people dream.

"Hey, I said it's about time you let me go." Naruto complained while kicking his feet in the air.

"You're so talkative, brat!" the ANBU said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue."

"Then pull it out, ah~" Naruto said provocatively with his mouth wide open and tongue sticking out.

"you wanna die!"

As they spoke, the two men reached out to grab Naruto's head. However, Naruto was not idle either. He actually drew his sword from the sealed space and slashed at the two men.

He had originally planned to drag the two into the sealed space and let the Nine-Tailed Fox devour them. After all, once inside the sealed space, ninjas who weren't too powerful wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. However, due to his consciousness, he wanted to go in with the two, so he gave up for safety reasons.

Start with the katana, followed closely by the wind blade.

The two Anbu ninjas jumped in two opposite directions, but the next second, Naruto switched positions with a Flying Thunder God Kunai and pressed the molten lava on the face of the Anbu ninja who had been exposed long ago.

The taste is even more sour and refreshing than the traditional instant noodles.

The other fake ninja from the Anbu hadn't expected Naruto to be so brutal, and was stunned for a second by his companion's bony face. It was in that second that Naruto seized his opportunity.

He threw out three kunai, including a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Use the same trick again, Melting Escape - the technique of pressing the big face!

The moment the screams sounded, they suddenly stopped as the vitality faded away.

.....

Sakura pushed through the crowd and gritted her teeth as she chased after the Anbu who was carrying Naruto out and disappeared in the direction.

But for some reason, the more she chased, the more people stood in her way.

The audience in the arena all seemed to have the same face, and the road to the stands seemed endless. Sakura only felt that the front was cold and her feet were cold.

All the noise and bustle disappeared, and she fell to the ground, almost collapsing.

"Sakura, wake up, Sasuke is here."

A familiar voice woke her up, and Sakura opened her eyes suddenly to see a grinning Naruto squatting on the ground.
