Chapter 232 Seems to have become more handsome

Fu and Gaara were finally freed the moment their chains turned into runes.

They both slowly opened their eyes, their eyes revealing fatigue and determination.

Fu struggled to stand up, her body still trembling slightly.

She looked at Naruto, her eyes full of gratitude. "Naruto, thank you." Her voice was weak but full of sincerity.

Gaara stood there quietly, silent.

His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he looked at Naruto and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Naruto is now stronger than he was two years ago. If he was a mountain two years ago, then he is now a vast mountain range.

He is as steady as a mountain. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he can remain unmoved and completely crush it with his powerful strength.

He is no longer that naive boy, but has grown into a true strong man, a mountain that can never be climbed.

At this moment, several figures appeared in Naruto's perception.

Naruto chuckled, it seemed like it was time to meet up with them.

As the distance got closer, the figures began to become clearer.

It turned out that Miyuki, Yukata and others who had just left came with Neji's team to support.

Not long after they left, they heard a roar. They were not far away and suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

They were worried that Gaara was in danger, so they turned around and went back without hesitation.

On the way, he happened to meet Ningji and others, and he hurriedly asked them for help.

When Neji's team heard the emergency, they rushed over without saying a word.

At this moment, the faces of Yu Yu and others were full of anxiety and worry, and their eyes were fixed on Gaara, Naruto and others.

Neji and the other two looked at the familiar face in front of them in shock.

As they approached, their faces became clearer.

The first one to speak was Xiao Li. He jumped in front of Naruto and asked stutteringly, "You, you are Naruto?" His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.

Xiao Li's heart was filled with turmoil. The Naruto in front of him seemed to be very different from the boy in his memory.

The Naruto in the past was full of vitality but a little immature, but the Naruto standing in front of him now exudes a calm and powerful aura, like an unshakable mountain.

Neji and Tenten were equally shocked.

Neji frowned slightly, staring at Naruto closely, trying to find familiar traces on him.

Tiantian opened his mouth wide and the weapon in his hand almost fell to the ground.

They never expected that when they saw Naruto again, he would have changed so much.

Naruto looked at the three shocked people in front of him and gave them a warm smile.

"It's me, Rock Lee, Neji, Tenten, long time no see." His voice was calm and powerful, as if telling them that he was no longer the same person he used to be, but a ninja who had experienced countless battles and became stronger and more mature.

Xiao Li still had a look of disbelief on his face. He circled around Naruto a few times, muttering, "Naruto, it's really you. You're really back?"

Neji also recovered from his initial shock. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Naruto carefully, and said slowly: "It seems that you have experienced a lot during this period of time."

Tenten came forward and asked curiously: "Naruto, what happened to make you change so much? It seems that you have become more handsome."

Naruto looked at the three of them, with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "Don't look at me like that, don't you still have to take part in the Chunin Exam? Let's get together again after the exam! Things here have been resolved."

Xiao Li scratched his head, a trace of regret in his eyes, but soon his fighting spirit was ignited again: "That's right, we must perform well in the Chunin Exam, and after the exam, we will train and fight happily with you, Naruto."

Neji nodded slightly, his expression returning to his usual calm and composed state: "The Chunin Exam is an important test, we will do our best. I look forward to seeing you after the exam."

Tenten also smiled and nodded: "Then let's work hard towards the Chunin Exam. Naruto, wait for us."

Everyone's eyes met, and a tacit understanding flowed in the air.

They all knew that the Chunin Exam was an important milestone in their growth, and that the reunion after the exam would be filled with new hopes and challenges.

As the breeze blew by, they each turned around and embarked on their own journey, moving forward firmly for the Chunin Exam and for a future reunion.

In the Kazekage's office, a group of Sand Shadow Ninjas were looking for Gaara. Their faces were full of anxiety and worry, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

"Lord Kazekage has been missing for so long, where has he gone?" a ninja whispered, his tone full of anxiety.

"We've sent out several search parties, but have heard nothing so far," another ninja replied, frowning.

Everyone fell silent. They knew very well the importance of Gaara. Not only was he the Kazekage, but he was also the hope and pillar of the Sand Village.

Without Gaara's leadership, the Sand Village seemed to have lost its backbone.

"Continue to intensify the search and don't miss any possible place." An older ninja said seriously.

The others nodded and immediately took action, ready to set out again to look for Gaara's trace.

At this tense moment, they had only one belief in their hearts, which was to find Gaara as soon as possible and ensure his safety.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of the group of ninjas.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then surprise and excitement welled up in their eyes.

"Lord Kazekage!" a ninja blurted out, with uncontrollable joy in his voice.

Gaara stood there quietly, his expression still stern, but there was a hint of imperceptible fatigue in his eyes.

He looked at the group of ninjas in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Lord Kazekage, I'm so glad you're okay!" The older ninja walked forward, his tone full of relief.

The other ninjas gathered around as well, their faces filled with joy.

Gaara glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worried. Let's go now." Although his voice was calm, it made everyone present feel at ease.

After experiencing some twists and turns, Gaara's return seemed to have injected a shot of adrenaline into the Sand Village.

Everyone knows that with Gaara around, the Sand Village has a solid support, and they will continue to work hard to protect the village.
