Chapter 223 Return to the Village Again

Gaara frowned slightly, his inky eyebrows tightly knitted together, as if a tangled puzzle was waiting to be solved.

There was a thoughtful gleam in his eyes as he tried to find the reason behind this change.

The air around him seemed to be frozen by his meditation, and only his light breathing echoed in the silence.

But even though he was full of doubts, he was extremely certain that Naruto would never harm him.

This certainty was like an indestructible rock, deeply rooted in his heart.

Naruto looked at Gaara with burning eyes. When he saw Gaara finish taking the fruit and essence, he said in a steady and powerful tone: "Get used to this power."

A few days later, all the Genin from the Sand Village who were taking part in the Chunin Exams gathered in an orderly manner.

Naruto and Gaara stood side by side by the office window, quietly looking at this group of energetic figures.

The sunlight shines on them, outlining their firm outlines.

After a moment, Gaara spoke slowly: "The first exam is in Konoha and will start soon. Aren't you going to take part in the Chunin Exam? Why did you ask me not to assign you to a team?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of doubt.

Naruto smiled mysteriously, that smile was as bright as the sun, but it also carried an elusive meaning. "Call that four-eyed frog over here." His tone was relaxed and confident, as if everything was under his control. There was a cunning light flashing in those blue eyes, making people wonder what he was planning.

A moment later, the young man with glasses hurried into Gaara's office.

There was a hint of confusion and nervousness in his eyes, and he didn't know why he was suddenly summoned here.

Gaara turned his head slightly to look at Naruto, and Naruto smiled, with a smile full of cunning.

Then, his Pure Wheel Eye slowly emerged. The moment he looked at the young man, he felt his eyes blurred.

He seemed to be trapped in an endless vortex, and everything around him became blurred.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he was being pulled by a powerful force and unable to extricate himself.

The mysterious Pure Wheel of Time is like the deep starry sky, which makes people involuntarily immersed in it and lose themselves.

Naruto slowly walked towards the young man under Gaara's puzzled gaze.

Every step he took seemed to carry some mysterious power. Naruto did not stop until he reached the young man.

Then, Gaara's eyes turned from confusion to fear. His pupils shrank slightly, and his black panda eyes were full of shock.

Because Naruto walked directly into the young man's body.

The scene was so incredible and dreamlike that it was hard to believe.

Gaara stared at the scene in front of him, not knowing what would happen next.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. A tense atmosphere filled the entire office, making people's heartbeats quicken involuntarily.

Until Naruto's voice came from the mouth of the young man with glasses: "Gaara. How is it?" The voice had a hint of pride, as if demonstrating an amazing stunt.

Gaara's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

His lips trembled slightly, but he was unable to speak for a moment.

After a moment, he uttered a few words with difficulty: "This... What's going on?" His voice was full of shock and confusion, and he was completely unable to understand what was happening before his eyes.

The atmosphere in the office became extremely strange. The originally ordinary young man was now possessed by Naruto's soul, and the words he spoke had Naruto's tone and expression.

This scene seemed like a fantastic magic show, leaving people stunned.

Naruto seemed to enjoy Gaara's surprise. He continued to tease with the young man's body, "Hehe, you didn't expect that. This is a new skill I learned, called "Body Fusion Technique". But don't worry, it won't hurt him. I have cast an illusion on him just now. He will also experience what I have experienced in the next few days."

Gaara frowned slightly, his eyes showing both shock at Naruto's strange ability and a hint of worry. "This technique is so strange, is there really no risk?" His voice was low and serious.

Naruto smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Gaara. I know my limits. Even though this technique is strange, I have already mastered it very well. Besides, this is also for the purpose of better performing in the Chunin Exam." After saying that, he blinked mischievously.

At this moment, the young man whose body was occupied by Naruto stood there expressionlessly, like a puppet being manipulated. And Naruto was in his body, controlling everything.

Gaara was silent for a moment, but finally chose to believe Naruto.

He nodded slightly and said, "Since you are so sure, then I will do as you say. But don't take it lightly. If there is any accident, stop immediately."

Naruto grinned and controlled the young man's body to make a confident gesture: "Don't worry, Gaara. I will definitely use this body to perform well in the Chunin Exam and impress everyone."

As time went by, Naruto began his unique journey of the Chunin Exam as a young man.

Soon they arrived at the first stop of the Chunin Exam, Konoha Village.

This was also the first time Naruto stepped into the gate of Konoha two years later. Looking at the village of the past, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

The sun shines on the roofs and streets of Konoha Village, and familiar buildings are arranged in an orderly manner.

The Hokage Rock still stands tall behind the village, with the faces of successive Hokage carved on it, majestic and solemn.

Naruto stood at the entrance of the village, his eyes flashing with complex light.

The familiar plants and trees, the streets he once ran on, and the training ground full of memories all made his heart surge with an indescribable emotion.

He walked slowly into the village, his steps heavy.

The two female teammates were now excitedly clamoring to pass the Chunin exam.

There was a fiery light in their eyes, as if the title of Chunin was just around the corner.

One of the girls with long black hair waved her fist and shouted, "As the representative of the Sand Ninja, I must pass the exam to become a Chunin!"

In this lively atmosphere, they continued to walk towards the registration venue for the exam.

Naruto finally met his companions whom he hadn't seen for two years under another identity.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Naruto's eyes were fixed on them, and he was filled with endless emotions.

The partners who once laughed and played together and fought side by side now appear before our eyes again, and their familiar faces have become more mature and resolute.

Then Naruto carefully felt their cultivation. He keenly sensed the power of his companions' aura. Their cultivation had already reached the Qi training stage. Although they were only in the middle stage of Qi training, it still made Naruto happy.
