Konoha's check-in system

The next day, Tōdōkai got up early. After finishing his taijutsu exercises and having breakfast with Tōdōya, he stopped her from wanting to watch the Chunin Exams live.

He used his status as an Anbu as an excuse to tell her that there might be an enemy attack on Konoha in the arena today, and told her to stay at home and not go out. She should always pay attention to the outside world and run to the center of the village if she heard something was wrong. Take shelter at Ichiraku Ramen House.

The reason he gave was that it was a commercial town and adjacent to the Hokage Tower, so it would be difficult for the enemy to attack there.

The real reason is really unexplainable. Although Konoha has been through hardships and nearly destroyed several times, only Ichiraku Ramen House has remained intact.And because of Naruto's celebrity effect, the business is getting bigger and bigger. It can be regarded as a big unsolved mystery in Naruto, and now it can become a shelter for Todouya.

Although Todouya couldn't understand it, Yamato Nadeshiko's character made her believe in her child and agreed without further questioning.

She walked up to Dongtang Hai, smoothed out the wrinkles of his clothes carefully, arranged his clothes, and said softly: "Hai, you have to be careful too. You once said that you would be a hero who protects the village like your father. Now you have become a reliable ninja. Although it is important to protect the village, you must also remember to come back safely and your mother is waiting for you."

Dong Tanghai responded with a heavy nod, bowed deeply, turned and walked towards the door, preparing to walk to the arena.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw a listless Naruto standing not far away. After seeing him now, he reluctantly cheered up and said to him: "Hai, good morning."

Dong Tanghai looked at his tired expression and said doubtfully: "Naruto, why are you so low energy? Did you practice very late last night?"

Of course, Naruto refused to admit the fact that he didn't sleep well last night because of nervousness. He yawned and said, "Yes, because I have been practicing for too long, I don't have enough sleep."

Dong Tanghai walked up to him, stretched his left hand to the top of his head, and dropped a water ball instantly, pouring water all over Naruto's head and face.

Naruto shouted: "Wow, Hai, what are you doing? This is"

The water drops that originally hit his hair and face did not continue to flow down and wet his shirt. Instead, they condensed into water balls and returned to Dong Tanghai's hands.

Dong Tanghai threw the water ball on the ground casually and said: "I just want you to wake up, Naruto, today is very important to you. Don't you always say that you want to get everyone's approval? As long as you defeat Neji, there will be more People appreciate you.”

"Really? But that guy Ningji's strength" Naruto was still a little unsure.

Seeing that Naruto was giving up, Dong Tanghai comforted him and said: "Although Neji is indeed very strong, you are not bad at all, and your luck is much better than him. There is a high possibility of a comeback." .”

"What, am I just lucky? Hai, you are too bad at comforting people," Naruto said with some dissatisfaction.

"I did not mean that"

Facing Naruto who looked depressed and frustrated, Dong Tanghai had no good solution. Mouth escape was indeed not his specialty.

"Originally I wanted to go to the arena with you, but now I have changed my mind. You can go alone." The arrogant young Naruto ran directly in the other direction.

Was it after seeing Gaara's pain that he felt guilty and vicariously hurt because he was luckier than him? It's rare to see Naruto who doubts his confidence so much.

Tōdōkai muttered to himself: Now that Neji did not seriously injure Hinata during the trial, and because he was by Naruto's side, he also had scruples and did not reprimand Naruto more, so now Naruto's hostility towards Neji is far less than in the comics. He is so strong, he won't be defeated by Neji because of this, right? After winning, can Neji return to his normal outlook on life?

Out of worry, Tōdōkai sneaked behind Naruto and followed him from a distance until Naruto walked to the training ground where Team [-] had previously competed for the bell, and had a conversation with Hinata who was practicing there and waiting for his teammates. After that, he finally felt relieved.

"Naruto-kun is a loser with the highest honor"

Haha, after all, she is a gentle, virtuous and considerate Hinata. This sentence is really good.

As for Naruto, what kind of ghost girl can be described as "introverted, shy, inconspicuous and a little strange"? If you hadn't added the sentence "I quite like it" at the end, you would have been a bachelor for the rest of your life, no, you And Sasuke.

However, this Naruto is usually very quiet, but at critical moments he is very skilled in using push and pull techniques. He has the potential of a love saint. Maybe all his thoughts are on Sasuke.

Appreciating the rare pink moment in the world of Naruto, seeing the shy Hinata staying in a daze, Naruto, who had regained his former blind confidence, walked back to the arena again, and Tōdōkai used the teleportation technique to disappear.

Arriving at the arena, Tōdōkai and the other eight players except Sasuke lined up in a row. Following him, Genma Shiranui, who had a thousand books in his mouth and had a bit of a pony-like style, came to the center of the circular arena and stood there, looking up. The spectators sitting high up in a circle, crowded together, have the feeling of gladiator contestants.

After briefly introducing the guests present, Sandai gave an opening speech and announced the official start of the competition.Dong Tanghai was very happy to feel that there were many Anbu around him, and the reminder of Moonlight Hayate was still effective.

"The rest depends on whether I can help the third generation open the barrier," he thought secretly.

Shiranui Genma opened the battle table again and confirmed the round order of the battle with everyone.

Naruto asked him what he should do if Sasuke didn't show up, and the answer he got was that if he still didn't show up when it was his turn to fight, he would automatically be judged as a failure.

"You better not worry about Sasuke. You are the first one to come on stage. There is no time to think about this.

Sasuke will not lose without a fight. Maybe he was just influenced by Captain Kakashi and became late. "Tōtōkai said to Naruto.

Next, Shiranui Genma announced the rules of the game and asked players other than Naruto and Neji to go to the lounge above to watch the game.

Walking to the door leading to the observation deck upstairs, Dong Tanghai looked back and felt a little relieved when he saw Naruto with a firm look and a confident look on his face.

For Neji, who had a tragic life and died a tragic death, he felt sorry in his heart: he was so talented and had a tragic fate, which made people sigh. He still hoped that Naruto could still change his philosophy so that he could let go of his guard and be at peace. Fly freely in the sunshine of the sky, and stop staying in the cage set up for him by the Zong family, looking at the small patch of sky above his head and complaining about himself.

"Neji, I admit I can't change you this time, but I will definitely save you next time."

Dong Tanghai made up his mind, turned around and walked towards the door.

"The first round of the game begins"

With Shiranui Genma's roar, the third round of the Chuunin Exams officially kicked off.
