Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

"We are the ninjas from the Sand Village who came to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exams!"

Temari said holding the certificate in front of everyone.

After listening to Temari's words, everyone was even more confused.

"Chūnin Exam? What is that?"

Naruto asked, scratching his head, the others all had more or less the same expression.

"Haha, the Konoha ninja, the organizer, didn't know about it. How funny!"

Kankuro scoffed.

Seeing that the little ones didn't know and were laughed at by outsiders, Neji, the big brother, stepped forward to explain:

"The Chunin Exam, full name Chunin Selection Exam, is held twice a year. Genin who meet the requirements can be recommended by the teacher to participate!"

"Oh? Then I must participate!!!" Uzumaki Naruto shouted, looking very excited.

"Idiot! That also depends on whether Kakashi will recommend you!" Although Sasuke called Naruto an idiot, he was also eager to try.

"..." Unlike Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura seemed a little worried. After all, she was not as strong as these two boys.

Seeing Sakura's worried look, Neji comforted her:

"Sakura, it's okay. You will become a great ninja in the future, no less than the legendary Sannin!"

Sakura's eyes widened when she heard what Neji said. The legendary three ninjas? Aren't they Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade? It would be too much to say that I didn't lose to them!

However, Neji's words did give Sakura great encouragement.

"Thank you, Neji-senpai, I'm fine~ hehe!"

Sakura replied, smiling broadly.

Everyone in Sand Village who saw this scene was thinking different things in their minds.

Temari: "I didn't expect that this guy is not only handsome, but also very gentle to his juniors. He is a good man."

Kankuro: "Humph, even if you're taller than me you're still just a cocky brat!"

Although Gaara said nothing, he was carefully looking at this guy who was able to approach him silently, and was looking forward to fighting with him.

"Okay, let's go."

After Gaara finished speaking, the three members of Sunagakure turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Gaara and the other two, who were about to leave, were stopped by Sasuke.

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke from Konoha. You, tell me your name!" Sasuke pointed at Gaara, his eyes full of desire to challenge.

"Sunagakure, Gaara."

Panda Eyes said a few words calmly, then turned to look at Neji and asked:

"What's your name?"

This surprised both Temari and Kankuro. Anyone who could attract Gaara's attention must be really powerful!

"Hyuuga Neji."

Neji replied calmly.

"Humph."

Gaara chuckled and walked away, saying:

"Goodbye, ninja of Konoha, we will see you again soon."

After saying that, the three members of Sand Village turned into a cloud of dust and disappeared on the spot.

[Sand Instant Body skill fragments have been stored! They will be returned a hundredfold in ten days! ]

Neji has become more and more proficient at storing fragments of the enemies' pretentious skills into the system.

"The Chunin Exam? I wonder what fun things can be stored here?" Neji thought.

Sasuke looked at the direction where the three Sunagakure people left, then looked at Neji. The desire to fight gradually surged in his heart, and he became excited about the upcoming Chunin Exam.

Naruto also looked confident, although no one knew where this confidence came from.

Although Sakura was not as confident as Sasuke and Naruto, Neji's encouragement helped her regain some confidence.

Several Konoha Genin were looking forward to the upcoming Chunin Exams to varying degrees.

What everyone didn't know was that at this moment, on a big tree not far from them, three ninjas wearing headguards from the Sound Village were staring at them hungrily.

"The black hair of Konoha, the big gourd of Sunagakure, and the white eyes of Konoha, we need to pay more attention to these three people!"

The person who spoke was a ninja with bandages all over his face, and he seemed to have great interest in these Konoha Genin.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the village...

In the Konoha meeting hall of the Hokage's office building, more than a dozen ninjas were gathered there, most of them were team-leading jonins and some special jonins and chunins.

Standing at the front of the crowd was the white-haired copy ninja Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi who arrived before he did, Might Guy in a green tights, and Kurenai in a fishnet bandage outfit.

Behind the four jonin stood a large number of special jonin and chunin, including Umino Iruka, Morino Ibiki, Shiranui Genma, Bizuku Leidō, Mitarashi Anko, Koji Tetsu, Kamijutsuki Izumo, Gekkou Hayate and others.

In front of everyone, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was sitting behind the table, looking at everyone, preparing to give a speech.

"Ahem, I believe everyone has understood the purpose of this meeting."

The Third Hokage said, taking a puff of his old pipe.

"Oh? Is it already this time?" Kakashi said in a relaxed tone.

Xihi Kurenai asked seriously, "When does it start?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "One week later."

Hearing this, Asuma put his hands in his pockets and said:

"It's really fast."

At this time, the Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and solemnly announced:

"Then I officially announce that the Chunin Selection Exam will be held one week from now on July 7st!"

Feeling the powerful spirit of the Sandaime Hokage, some instructors who had just been promoted to Chunin and Special Jonin swallowed nervously.

Kakashi and the others, as old hands in Konoha, were used to seeing these things. Kakashi even wanted to take out his picture book to have a look.

Then, the Sandaime spoke:

"Then please ask the person in charge of instructing the new Genin to step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma all took a small step forward.

"Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma." The Sandaime Hokage looked at the three jonin and said:

"Among the Genin you lead, are there any qualified candidates worthy of recommendation? Any ninja who has completed eight missions can participate in the recommendation."

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen added:

"Well, but the one who completes more than twice the tasks is more suitable!"

Hearing this, Umino Iruka, who was standing in the Chunin team, nodded in agreement, thinking that it was too early for these children to take the Chunin Exam.

At this time, Hatake Kakashi raised his right hand and said solemnly:

"I, Kakashi, lead Team 7. Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Haruno Sakura. The above three, under the name of Hatake Kakashi, are recommended to participate in the Chunin Selection Examination."

Hearing this, Iruka was surprised, but before he could say anything, Yuhi Kurenai continued:

"Team 8 led by Kurenai Yuhi, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino, the above three are recommended by me, Kurenai Yuhi."

Then, Asuma said, holding a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth:

"The tenth team led by me, Asuma. Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. I recommend them in the name of Sarutobi Asuma!"

After the three jonin finished speaking, the whole audience began to discuss:

“All three of them actually recommended it!”

"A newbie is actually taking part in the Chunin Exam?!"

"It's the first time in five years!"

Although there were many teachers among the many Chunins, no one stood up to oppose.

At this time, a young and passionate voice came:

"Wait a minute! Hokage-sama! I need to say something!"
