Hokage, I am Uzumaki Naruto

At the same time, on the street below, Sasuke just finished dinner with Sakura and Karin, and the three of them checked out and walked out of a hot pot restaurant.

Unlike the warm air-conditioning in the store, it is early spring at this time, and the night breeze blows on the face, with a slight chill.

Therefore, as soon as she came out, Sakura couldn't help shivering because of the cold wind blowing in her face.

"It's so cold!" Casually complained, Sakura couldn't help leaning her body closer to Sasuke.Seeing this, Xianglin on the side followed suit, leaning half of his body on Sasuke's left shoulder.

The boy was helpless, and he couldn't say anything.

I had no choice but to hold one arm on each side, and under the envious eyes of everyone, I hurriedly left the hot pot restaurant.

The three of them had just walked a few steps before they came to a bench under the shade of a tree and sat down.

After chatting for a few words, Sasuke and the second daughter were about to leave.

Suddenly, a cold breath came from behind, making the three of them stop.

"Who?"

Sensing the danger, Sakura immediately called out vigilantly to her surroundings.

At the same time, Sasuke only felt the sudden appearance, as if he had felt it somewhere before.

The three of them looked around for a moment, and saw a red-haired boy in red clothes with a small gourd pinned to his waist slowly walking out from the shade of trees under the moonlight.

Gaara just looked at Sasuke quietly, and said slowly: "Uchiha Sasuke, we meet again."

Looking at the old man who fought against him in the past, he said in a flat tone.

Sasuke looked at him, but for a moment he couldn't remember who he was, so he asked in confusion, "You are?"

Gaara said: "Gara of the sand. Two years ago, during the Chunin exam, we fought against each other!"

After he said this, Sasuke remembered that he had indeed defeated an opponent named Sand Gaara two years ago.

Looking at the person in front of him again, he could see clearly under the bright moonlight, who was his defeated general two years ago?

"So, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

After thinking about it, Sasuke decided to ask the other party why he came here first.

Gaara didn't hide his reason for coming, and said: "I'm here to tell you that this time, if we match up, I won't lose to you as I did two years ago."

"So?" Sasuke sneered softly, "You came here just to tell me this? That's unnecessary."

After all, he never cared about this guy named Sand Gaara.

At this time, Xianglin looked at the two people who seemed to be familiar with each other, and asked, "Sasuke-kun, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I've only met him twice before."

"If you don't know him, why did he come to you?"

Chapter 462 Qualifier Draw

"Probably because he wants to take revenge on me." Sasuke smiled and said a lame reason to fool the second daughter.

Gaara saw that Sasuke didn't take himself seriously at all, even though he knew that the other party was powerful.

But he is confident that with his current state of perfect human strength, he should be able to compete with Sasuke, who is currently limited in strength.

Then bit the bullet and said: "Sasuke Uchiha, look forward to my fight with you in the final."

Sasuke smiled disdainfully when he heard the words: "Just you? You used to be my defeated opponent, but now you have the courage to challenge me.

It's better to wait for you to pass the preliminaries first, and then come and tell me that you want to challenge me. "

"Hmph! Wait, I will!" Gaara glanced at Sasuke angrily, "I hope you will do the same when the time comes."

After saying that, he turned and left, his back disappeared into the dark shadows.

Time flies to the day when the qualifiers start.

On this day, a hundred examinees, led by seven invigilators, came to the newly built dueling arena.

Although this was only a pre-match qualifier, unexpectedly, there were surprisingly many people who came to watch this match.

In the huge duel arena, the auditorium was almost full of people.

In the ears of everyone, the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami can be said to be endless.

In the row of the auditorium closest to the competition venue, there were already a group of high-level officials of the current country, that is, the former Five Kages.And Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and others.

Of course, in addition to these must be there.

Regarding today's grand event, there are many well-known ninjas who have rushed to the city a few days ago, and the crowd is also looking forward to it.

For example, Akatsuki, including Itachi, organized a group of people, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.between spots and columns.

As well as Zabuzhan, Darui, Huangtu, and other ninjas whose strength has reached the shadow level.There are also many noble ladies in the city who are also looking forward to the upcoming qualifiers.

Now that the candidates have arrived, the roll call is over.

As the host of such a grand event, Minato stood up without hesitation, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and participate in this first real Ninja Chuunin Exam Conference jointly organized by all Ninja Villages!

Here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the guests who came to watch the ceremony! "

After finishing speaking, cheers erupted in the huge venue.

The voice was a little weaker, and Minato said again: "Then, next, I would like to invite everyone to enjoy the five-person group and chaos competition brought by this candidate before the final."

The moment the voice fell, somewhere in the auditorium, a certain three little ones were already so excited that they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and shouted loudly: "Okay. It's finally about to start, a group of five fights.

This is a rule that has never been passed in the previous Chunin exams. It is exciting to think about it! "

"That's right, I'm so excited! I can finally see Brother Naruto's game."

"Brother Naruto, come on! Brother Sasuke too, you must work hard!"

The three who shouted hoarsely were none other than Konoha Maru, Moe Huang, and Udon, who are now 12 years old and will be graduating from Ninja School in just over a month.

In two years, the three little melons have grown from the initial dwarf melons to a height of about 1.4 meters each.

On Konoha Maru's head, he still wore the same goggles as Naruto's before.

It is worthy of being Naruto's little fan from childhood to adulthood.

On the other hand, as the parents of the Twelve Xiaoqiangs, they are also extremely nervous about the upcoming chaos.

Among them, Ino's mother, Yamanaka Nono, clenched her hands even more nervously, and looked at Ino's father, Yamanaka Kai, with worried eyes: "What should I do? That's a five-person melee. That means our Ino has to face the attack of four people alone. Can she survive?"

While speaking, she looked at Hai Yi, and finally landed on her daughter.

Haiichi Yamanaka naturally knew the level of his daughter, so the chance of elimination must be greater than the chance of promotion.

But seeing his wife's nervous appearance, what can he do?I had no choice but to say: "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I believe that child Ino will not let herself have any regrets in this exam.

Therefore, all we can do is to believe in her, believe in our daughter, and we will be able to advance to the next level. "

"Yeah." Yamanaka Nono nodded emphatically, "That's the only way to go."

As she spoke, she stood up and yelled at Ino, one of the candidates below: "Ino, you must work hard! Mom and Dad are watching you!"

Among the candidates, Ino felt ashamed when he suddenly heard his mother cheering him on!

How could it be like this, in front of so many people.Just said it out loud.

But after thinking about it, this is also what her parents expect of her. If she can, she should go all out and strive for no regrets.

After secretly cheering for myself in my heart.

Ino silently glanced at the blond boy who was exuding confidence from the beginning to the end in the crowd in front of him.

I secretly made up my mind.

Soon, Jonin Shiranui, who was in charge of the test referee, appeared.

Just like the last Chunin Exam finals, this time the qualifiers are responsible for explaining the rules of the competition, and it is him again.

Shiranui Xianjian's calm eyes glanced at the hundred candidates in front of him, and said loudly: "Now, let's talk about the rules of this selection exam."

As he spoke, he first asked the two Chunin who were watching from the side to bring up a table.On the table was a cardboard box full of notes.

Pointing to the cardboard box, Shiranui continued: "First, all candidates will draw a number from the cardboard box next to me."

"Among them, the ones who draw an odd number of [-] are the five people who started the first game. By analogy, the ones who draw the second game are the five people who draw an even number of [-]." qs

"There are a total of [-] games in total. Ten games for odd and even numbers. Among them, there is only one winner in each game, that is to say, the remaining four losers will be eliminated directly."

After talking about the rules, the next step is the lottery ceremony.

With the order to start the lottery, the candidates waited excitedly one by one.

"God bless! Don't let me draw a team with Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, please!"

"Bless the gods and Buddhas, I will definitely bless me to draw a weaker team, please..."

"..."

In the ears, from time to time, the voices of candidates praying to God and Buddha for blessings could be heard.

In this regard, Ming Zuo looked at each other, only to find it extremely funny.At the same time, they are also looking forward to whether they will draw an odd number or an even number.

Everything, but providence!

Chapter 463 The first game begins

The draw ceremony will begin shortly.

Accompanied by the sound of the roll call, the candidates whose names were called came to the lottery stand one by one to draw lots.

After this process lasted for about a few minutes, Naruto's name was called by Shiranui Xianjian.

"The next candidate for the lottery is... Naruto Uzumaki, please invite Naruto Uzumaki to come forward and draw lots."

The moment Shiranui said Naruto's name, an imperceptible excitement flashed across his face.

Naruto looked very calm. Under the eyes of thousands of people, he walked slowly to the lottery stand.Reaching into the cardboard box full of notes, he randomly took out a note from it.

When I opened it, I saw the number seventeen written on it.

Naruto handed the number to Shiranui Xianjian, who glanced at Shiranui Xianjian, and immediately announced to everyone excitedly: "It has appeared, and the number drawn by Uzumaki Naruto is the odd number seventeen."

"That is to say, in the third round of the game, he will fight against the other four opponents who have also drawn odd numbers [-], [-], [-], and [-]."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sigh of relief from the crowd.

"Has Naruto Uzumaki drawn NO.17? I didn't expect him to be so high. God bless you, don't let me draw the other four odd numbers from eleven to nineteen..."

"God bless, I don't want too many, please let me draw an even number!"

"Me too."

"I don't have so many requirements, just let me draw more than NO.20."

"..."

The chattering voices of the examinees could be heard again.

Naruto ignored him and returned to Sasuke on his own.

Sasuke looked at him, patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Naruto, I didn't expect you to get No. 17. The number is so high. To be honest, I really don't want it. When it's my turn to draw lots later, I'll be in a group with you."

"That's good." Naruto responded with a smile: "Then you should work hard and try to draw an even number, so that we won't run into each other in the first round."

"Okay, I'll try my best!"

On the other side of the crowd, Hinata was also quietly listening to the people talking about the numbers Naruto had drawn.

She thought secretly in her heart: "If Naruto-kun draws an odd number of seventeen, then I will draw an even number. I can't just match him in the first round of qualifiers."

The lottery continues.

About 5 minutes later, after Shiranui read the names of more than a dozen people, it was finally Sasuke's turn to appear.

"Sasuke Uchiha, please come forward and draw lots."

I don't know Huo Xianjian shouted loudly, but the obviously expectant eyes looked deeply at Sasuke.

Sasuke stepped forward to draw lots, just as he expected.

The number he drew was 44, an even number, which happened to be staggered with Naruto.

After a few more rounds, it was Gaara's turn to draw, and he got number 35.
