Chapter 39: Bird in a Cage, the Devil's Hatred

Thanks to Uzumaki Naruto who ignored the atmosphere around him, his excited praise and familiar conversation, Haruko was able to get over the previous topic in the morning.

It's just that the topics they talked about afterwards were very meaningless, such as:

Morning Haruko: "Is that a tattoo on Ai's head? It looks so cool!"

Gaara: "As long as you like it."

Uzumaki Naruto: "Sashimi! Where can I find delicious sashimi?"

But at least they didn't set a trap for Haruko in the morning, and they ended the dinner happily (only for Uzumaki Naruto who was full and satisfied).

Next up was the third test of the Chunin Selection Exam.

In the official competition, a one-on-one elimination promotion match is adopted. Judges will make evaluations during the process. As long as you are recognized as having the qualifications of a Chunin, you can officially become a Chunin.

In the morning, Haruko came with the thick-browed teacher and the taijutsu duo. Uzumaki Naruto could not be found, and Uchiha Sasuke had no news after being kidnapped by Hatake Kakashi.

These days, Haruko and Bai eat together at home in the morning, and she actually feels a little lonely, which is rare.

Halfway through the walk, Haruko Asahi saw her parents and Shiro in the distance.

"Dad! Mom! And Bai!" Haruko Asama smiled and waved.

But what greeted Haruko Zao was a continuous sound of taking photos. The three of them rushed forward and surrounded Haruko Zao, as if Haruko Zao was a star.

"It's the first time that Haruko is taking part in the Chunin selection exam! It's finally time for our little Haruko to be promoted to Chunin!" Dad was already in tears in the morning.

In the morning, his mother punched him and said, "What do you mean by first time? It's really unlucky! Do you want Xiaoqingzi to participate in the second time?!"

In the morning, the father quickly apologized: "It's my fault, it's my fault. Our little Qingzi is so talented that she will definitely pass it in one try!"

Bai put down the camera and said with a smile: "Uncle is just too happy."

"No, Bai, how come you have become like my parents?!" Haruko Asahi was shocked.

His face was slightly red, but he said something that made people blush and their hearts beat faster: "After all, being able to possess Haruko's figure is very attractive to me."

"...As long as you are happy." Haruko Zaojian was speechless.

Before, Sasuke complained to her that Haku was just a sesame-stuffed rabbit, but she didn't believe it. Now she believes it.

Sasuke Cat: (complaining secretly)

White Rabbit: (Green Tea Smile)

In the morning, her mother gave her a cheering gesture, "Haruko! If you can't fight, just run away. Don't get hurt!"

In the morning, Dad also echoed: "Haruko, you will always be number one in our hearts!"

"..."

Should I say my biological parents? Gou's ideas are consistent.

After saying hello, Haruko Asagumi and Hyuga Neji walked down the stairs and came to the center of the examination venue.

After witnessing the hilarious scene of Uzumaki Naruto's shadow clones rushing forward, the invigilator reminded them to look at the tens of millions of spectators on the viewing stand and the scrutinizing eyes from various countries.

In the morning, Haruko couldn't help feeling nervous.

The Third Hokage stood up and read out his opening remarks.

"Dear guests, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for coming to Konoha to watch the Chunin Selection Exams."

"Next, let the eight candidates who passed the preliminary selection participate in the formal selection competition."

"Please enjoy watching!"

Seeing that the invigilator was already briefly explaining the precautions for the competition, Haruko found that Uchiha Sasuke had not arrived yet and became a little anxious.

"Examiner, what should we do if Sasuke hasn't arrived yet?"

The invigilator replied in a businesslike manner: "If he has not shown up at the start of his own match, he will not be defeated."

You bastard Kakashi! Where on earth did you take Sasuke?!

In the morning, Haruko screamed in her heart, she had known for a long time that the guy with questionable teaching ethics was unreliable!

"The first round is between Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji."

So in the morning, Haruko went back to the lounge with the other contestants.

"Shikamaru, what do you think I should do if I lose really badly..." Asahi Haruko walked to Nara Shikamaru worriedly.

Nara Shikamaru asked a soul-searching question: "Can you be as miserable as I am?"

Haruko thought about it and said, "That's true. After all, Shikamaru wants to survive more than I do."

"……Fool!"

Nara Shikamaru rubbed her head hard, and the relaxed atmosphere made Haruko feel a lot more at ease.

Gaara on the side looked at them with dark eyes.

Haruko has too many friends...

Because in the previous qualifying match between Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga, Neji Hyuga killed her without regard for their friendship, Uzumaki Naruto holds a grudge against Neji Hyuga.

This confrontation in the first round was exactly what Uzumaki Naruto wanted.

However, having been deeply poisoned by Hyuga Neji, Haruko Hayama knew that Uzumaki Naruto would probably have to go through a tough battle, so she silently mourned for him in her heart.

As expected, under Hyuga Neji's contempt, Uzumaki Naruto tried his best but was unable to inflict any harm on him, and instead made himself look extremely embarrassed.

The Great Devil was not satisfied with this and taunted him, "Hmph, are you unwilling to accept this? You kneel before a force that you cannot change and realize your own powerlessness."

This guy Ningci is really a sadist, right?!

"Everything is predetermined from the moment we are born. We all have to live in a fate that we cannot resist. There is only one fate that is equal to everyone, and that is death."

Very good, now it turns into pessimism and fatalism again.

Being able to get used to studying under that thick-browed teacher is simply a combination of terrifying physical skills and mental torture!!!

It's okay Naruto, I'm with you. (Light the candle)

In the morning, Haruko looked at the scene in front of her and recalled the days and nights when she was sparring with Hyuga Neji and was ridiculed.

How can I repair it! Naruto, come on! Beat that big devil to pieces!!!

I don't know if it was because he sensed Haruko's resentment in the morning, but even though all the acupuncture points in his body were sealed by Neji Hyuga, Uzumaki Naruto actually activated the chakra of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and gave Neji Hyuga a severe blow in front of everyone's shocked expressions.

Uzumaki Naruto used his own experience to tell the defeated Hyuga Neji that fate is not absolute.

Watching the medical ninja carry Hyuga Neji away, Haruko Zaoma was conflicted for a long time. In the end, out of friendship for her rival, she explained to the examiner and went to find him.

Pushing open the door, Hyuga Neji was lying quietly on the bed.

Morning Haruko quickly asked the medical department nearby: "Uncle, is Neji okay?"

"It's okay, my internal organs are not damaged, I just ran out of chakra."

That's good. This is the first time she has seen such a quiet demon king. She thought he had been hit on the head by Naruto.

Morning Haruko walked over to the bed, "Ningji, are you okay?"

"Why are you here?" Hyuga Neji was still looking at the ceiling, as if thinking about something.

"My match is later, so you should be able to make it in time if you come and watch."

Hyuga Neji heard this and finally turned his gaze to her, "I'm asking, why did you come to see me? Naruto is a very good friend of yours, right? Why didn't you go to congratulate him but came to see me? Could it be that you feel sorry for me?"

I am ashamed of myself for sympathizing with you. The big devil is indeed the big devil! Even though his body cannot move, his mouth can still keep outputting!

Haruko forced a smile and said, "Why would you think so, Neji? I'm really worried that you might be upset."

"As expected, you look more normal like this." Hyuga Neji added.

How can I repair it! If the medical ninja wasn't still here, I would strangle him to death right here!

Before Haruko could think of something to say to him, the door opened again. The person who came was the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, whom Neji had mentioned during the battle.

Hinata Hiashi signaled the medical department to leave. Haruko also wanted to leave in the morning, but Hinata Neji grabbed her hand, so she had to smile awkwardly and stay where she was.

But judging by the experience the Great Demon King described during the battle, and his current expression of hatred, it seems that this old guy should not be underestimated...

In the morning, Haruko decided to follow Hyuga Neji's wishes and stay, so that after he was pissed off to death by the old man, there would be someone to find a medical department for him.

Hyuga Neji just didn't want to be alone with the murderer who killed his father:?

When she noticed that Hyuga Neji wanted to get up, Haruko Asahi held his hand and helped him up.

"Is there a problem?"

Hinata Hiashi slowly spoke: "That day...I am here to tell you the truth about that day."
