Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

Gaara felt like today was just like a dream.

First, I finally got to meet the person I had admired since childhood, and was even invited to his home for dinner.

Dinner was the best ever.

Sure enough, I could feel that Shukaku was in a good mood today, so I didn't have to be wary of his appearance at any time.

Lying on the soft bed bathed in the sun, I felt a long-lost feeling of relaxation all over my body.

There is no bed in Gaara's room because he doesn't need to sleep.

When was the last time I slept so deeply? It seemed to be after meeting Chi Qing.

The next morning, Gaara woke up and was in a daze for a while.

He folded the quilt and could already smell the aroma of food.

Gaara came down from the guest room on the second floor and saw Chi Qing busy in the kitchen.

At this moment, in a trance, Chi Qing's back and Yashamaru overlapped together.

"Good morning, Xiaoai, did you sleep well last night?" Chi Qing turned sideways when he heard the noise.

"Well... Good morning, Brother Chi Qing, I... fell asleep last night." My spirit, which had been tense in order to suppress Shukaku, was finally relaxed. I had a dreamless night and felt very relaxed all over.

Chi Qing smiled and said, "That's good. Breakfast will be ready soon. Please wait a little longer."

The only ones who stayed last night were Gaara, Kankuro and Temari who went back to the hotel.

Gaara looked around but didn't see Naruto.

"Mingbao and the rest of Class 7 will gather early this morning. I guess their teacher has something to tell them." Chi Qing answered Gaara's question.

"Um...is there anything I can help with?" Gaara stepped forward.

"Then please help me pack the lunch." Chi Qing put four lunch boxes in place: "I'm going to the store soon, and I'll eat lunch directly in the store at noon. Put the rice in here, and just put a little of each side dish in here."

"I understand." Gaara picked up the chopsticks, concentrated, and placed them carefully.

This was the first time he had done something like this, and although he was a bit unfamiliar with it, Gaara placed everything neatly, with the same density of rice and the same number of side dishes.

They were so careful that they even sprinkled the same number of chopped green onions on each portion.

Chi Qing was stunned for a few seconds: "Thank you, it really helped a lot~"

Gaara thought about it for about a minute, which was enough time to skip many topics.

However, he suddenly looked serious: "Brother Chi Qing, you don't have to thank me. I'm very happy to help."

This reaction made Chi Qing laugh: "Don't be too restrained, you can relax a little in front of me."

After saying that, Chi Qing patted Gaara's head and said, "Let's get ready for dinner."

Naruto and his team 7 gathered together for the Chunin Exam.

Kakashi informed them of this at the last moment.

Class 7 rushed to submit their quota on the last day.

Kakashi smiled at the three students and said, "Okay, everyone, prepare yourself well. Don't take any missions during this period. Prepare well for the exam. Okay, dismissed."

"Wait, wait! Teacher Kakashi!" Sakura grabbed Kakashi who was about to run away.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sakura?" Kakashi lowered his head and looked at Sakura.

"That's it? What about the exam content? What about the precautions? Shouldn't you tell us?" Sakura raised her voice and looked at Kakashi in disbelief.

"Well... well, actually the exam content is different every year, and each year the exam is held in a different village. You can only know the specific exam content on the day of the exam, so there's actually nothing much to say."

Kakashi finished speaking and pried Sakura's hands apart: "Gathering information is also a basic quality of a ninja. That's it! Bye!"

Kakashi used the body-flash technique to leave, leaving the three people looking at each other in bewilderment.
