Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 17

The time for the third exam is one month later.

According to the order of drawing lots after the qualifiers, the final battle list is: Gaara and Sasuke, Naruto and Neji, Kankuro and Shino, Temari and Shikamaru, and I and Ran.

The reason why there is such a long interval in the middle is that the third Hokage has already explained after the qualifiers.

Because this Chunin exam is held together by multiple allied countries, in order to give the daimyos from all over the world time to watch the third exam and for the contestants to understand each other's strength and keep improving themselves, they decided to set the third exam at a month later.

Yet we also know.

A month from now isn't just the end of the Chunin exams.

I sat by the river, combing my long messy hair.The cool wind brushed against the side of my face, itching.

The morning sun is so bright, warm and warm on the body, dispelling the cold.I looked up at the soft sun in the sky.The weather in Konoha is much better than that in Sand Hidden.At least there won't be a wind with fine sand blowing from time to time, making people ashamed...

However, even in such a comfortable environment, I remained silent.

When I left the hotel in the morning, I saw Lan.

Well, she was waiting for me here on purpose.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I can finally fight you."

"Do you really want to beat me that much?"

"Huajing, I want to prove to everyone that I am stronger than you."

So that's our short conversation.Lan always regarded me as a strong opponent and an enemy.

Suddenly I miss her when I was a child, so innocent and innocent.Instead of facing each other with swords like they are now.Will you be happy when you win?After winning, will you be able to open your heart and accept me again?
I would love to ask this question, but I don't have the courage.

I have very few friends, and I can't smile to please those who deliberately alienate me, and I can't be as natural as I am in front of Sasuke and them.

"Your name is Huajing." A male voice sounded from behind me.

I stand up.The person in front of him was dressed in white, his long black hair fell like water, and his white crystal clear eyes exuded an ice-like air-conditioning and alienation from others.

He stood quietly behind me, there was no one around him, only him.The expression on my face is unpredictable, it seems to be hostile, but at the same time it is full of appreciation, and there is also a hint of strangeness.It seems that I can't figure out how he suddenly appeared in front of me.

Neiji Hinata, last year's No. [-] rookie, is on an equal footing with Sasuke.

After watching his match against Hinata in the qualifiers, I was deeply impressed by his physical skills.

"Well, I am, your name is Neji Hinata, right?"

"It seems that you already know me."

"The genius of Konoha, the number one newcomer, how could I not know him." I smiled cleverly. "You didn't come to me just to say hello, did you? I think you are more surprised by my ninjutsu."

Hearing me say what was in my heart, Ning Ci was at a loss for words.

And I stood aside proud of my intelligence.In fact, anyone who sees my ability will be surprised, it's just that some people can't hold back and don't ask me, and some people can't hold back and just care.

And Neiji Hinata who is standing in front of me now is just the kind of person who cares about powerful power.Constantly pursue stronger.This kind of persistent mentality is very similar to Li, Naruto, and Sasuke.

Who wants to become a ninja not to become stronger...

"I know you must be very concerned about it...someone can use five attributes of chakra at the same time, which has never happened before." I took off my disguise and vigilance, and sat down by the river again.

Because the exam is over, there is no need to fight for the time being, so I simply took off the ribbon that tied my long hair and loosened my long hair.

The long golden hair shone with a silvery brilliance under the sun, which was very dazzling.I sat on the grass by the river with my knees hugged, my long hair hanging neatly around my waist and covering my back.

It's something I'm proud of.

"But I don't know, I tell you, you won't believe me, when I was 7 years old, I lost all my memory, I don't even know what my name is, I don't have parents, so I don't know who I am Why did my ability come here, but ah, since it is my ability, then I will use it to protect the people around me and important partners."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I think you are trustworthy..." I turned back and smiled at him, "Come and sit down, you won't always stand there when you're talking to me..."

After I finished speaking, I didn't look at him again.

After a while, a white figure appeared beside me, sitting side by side with me.

This guy is really awkward... I looked at the distance he deliberately kept from me, and shook my head.You were the one who came to me first, but now I take the initiative to accept you... Is your personality twisted?It seems that I was disturbed by the dispute between the main family and the branch family...

Ugh.

"You are a ninja from Sand Hidden, why do you want to help Konoha's people so desperately?"

"You really asked the same question..."

"What do you mean?"

"After that, Sasuke also asked me the same question." I paused, "I didn't have any friends when I was in Hidden Sand, and I didn't know what a partner was, but in the few days since I came to Konoha, I learned a lot , I met Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke and others, and then I met Xiao Li. I think you are all very good people, and being with you makes me feel relaxed and happy, so in order to protect my companions, I don’t care about anything .”

"Actually, when I saw Sakura was in danger, I rushed forward without thinking."

"Hate or something is actually not a good thing. It will only make you more painful and more difficult to let go."

After hearing my last words, Neji finally raised his eyes and looked at me.

Probably he didn't expect me to say such a sentence out of the blue.

But I found that the way he looked at me was different from the beginning.The hostility towards me was removed and replaced with more in-depth research.

"Hey, Neji, if you have time, you must fight me..." I patted the grass clippings on my clothes and stood up.

"I can't ask for it."

"I'm going to see someone now. I'm leaving first." I greeted him casually, turned around and jumped up the tree, then stopped as if I suddenly remembered something, and turned around and shouted, "Actually, I think You are really a nice person! Haha..."

Um, yes, Neiji Hinata.You are an excellent person...
