Chapter 73 The Chunin Exam Begins

After a brief setback, the three of them finally arrived at the real test site. When they saw Kakashi standing at the door, they were slightly surprised.

At this time, Sakura was surprised and asked, "Teacher Kakashi, why are you here?"

Kakashi responded calmly, "Sakura, it's great that you can come. You can now officially apply for the Chunin Exam. This time, you must form a group of three at first, and only those who work together can participate. I was worried that you wouldn't come, okay. Now that the three of you are here, then go in. You are a team that I am very proud of, so don't let me down." Kakashi looked at the three people who walked into the examination room, thinking to himself, "I hope these little guys can perform outstandingly in the exam."

After the three of them walked into the classroom, they looked at the densely packed crowd and couldn't help but feel emotional. At this moment, Ino, Shikamaru, Shino, Hinata, and Kiba came over one after another.

"You guys are so slow." Ino said first.

Shikamaru yawned and agreed, "Exactly. I almost fell asleep waiting. The Chunin Exams are so troublesome!"

At this moment, a familiar figure caught Naruto's eye - Kabuto Yakushi.

Naruto smiled and muttered to himself, "This guy is a good talent." When Sasuke saw Naruto looking at Kabuto, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Kabuto, as if thinking about something. Sakura also noticed the strange atmosphere and clenched her fists unconsciously.

Yakushi Kabuto walked towards them slowly with a smile on his face. His steps were steady and light, and each step seemed to contain some deep meaning. His eyes swept over everyone and finally fixed on Sasuke. There seemed to be endless secrets hidden in that look.

Afterwards, he greeted everyone in a very calm and confident manner, shared with them some experiences regarding the Chunin Exams, and quickly integrated into the group.

Naruto watched all this indifferently, thinking to himself: If I were not a time traveler, I might have really been deceived by this gentle and refined man.

At this moment, an evil smirk appeared on Naruto's lips, and then he took a step forward, his tone extremely arrogant: "Listen to me, you bunch of little idiots, I am Uzumaki Naruto! I advise you, if you see me during the exam, it's best to take a detour, otherwise I will let you know what despair is!" After saying that, he did not forget to laugh arrogantly.

At this moment, the classroom fell into silence, and everyone stared at Naruto in amazement. The air seemed to freeze. Sakura covered her face in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "Naruto, stop messing around." Sasuke turned his head away with a look of disgust.

Ino's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Why is Naruto crazy?" Shikamaru sighed helplessly: "What a headache." Shino remained silent, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Hinata blushed and gently defended Naruto: "Maybe Naruto-kun wants to cheer himself up."

However, Naruto didn't care about everyone's reaction at all, and still stood there complacently, enjoying the feeling of being the focus of everyone at this moment. His eyes swept across the crowd wantonly, as if provoking everyone who showed him a strange look.

At this time, Naruto lowered his voice and said to the eight people with a very serious look: "You now have extremely strong strength, there is no doubt about that. However, you rarely experience life-and-death battles, and you have not yet been able to deeply feel the real cruelty. With your current strength, the Chunin Exam is just a small test. I hope you can clearly understand what is a real life-and-death battle. I deliberately provoked them at this moment, and they will definitely attack us, so this is actually another special training I arranged for you. Remember, as ninjas, we can only cope with more cruel challenges in the future if we continue to grow in actual combat. When facing the enemy's attack, don't be afraid, stay calm, and give full play to your own strength and wisdom. This is not only an exam, but also a severe test for you. Remember, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must be decisive when necessary. I firmly believe that you can achieve a breakthrough in this test, gain something, and become a more powerful ninja!"

After hearing Naruto's words, everyone had different expressions. The eight of them smiled at each other, as if they had a telepathic connection, and instantly unified their thoughts, and then all took a step forward.

Xiaoying crossed her arms, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with contempt: "Humph, you guys, if you have the guts, come and try it!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold gaze swept across the ninjas like a sharp blade, his tone full of provocation: "With just you, you dare to think of becoming our opponent? It's just a foolish dream!"

Ino shook her hair in a cool manner and said coquettishly: "If you are afraid, just admit defeat quickly and don't embarrass yourself here and make others laugh at you for nothing!"

Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and said lazily: "Fighting with you guys is just a waste of our precious time."

Shino remained silent, but his extremely cold eyes seemed to silently declare: "If you dare to come here, you will never return."

Hinata blushed, but mustered up the courage to shout, "Don't underestimate us!"

He bared his teeth and laughed arrogantly: "Haha, come over here if you have the guts!"

Their provocation instantly filled the originally quiet and peaceful classroom with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Kakashi stood outside the classroom. Hearing what everyone was saying, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "This year's group of kids are really brave."

He shook his head, but there was a hint of anticipation in his heart.

At this time, the atmosphere in the classroom became increasingly tense. Some of the provoked ninjas could no longer hold back and took out their weapons to attack Naruto and the others.

At this moment, a roar was heard: "Quiet! You bunch of trash."

A cloud of smoke rose up, and after it dissipated, a group of invigilators appeared in the classroom at the same time.

One of the invigilators with scars all over his face said, "Sorry for the long wait. I am the examiner of the first Chunin selection exam, Morino Ibiki. Now, I advise you not to mess around before the exam, otherwise I will disqualify you from the exam."

"I would like to take this opportunity to warn you that you are not allowed to fight without the examiner's permission. Even if the examiner allows it, you are not allowed to take the opponent's life during the fight. Anyone who disobeys me will be disqualified. Do you understand?"

Looking at the classroom that had quieted down, Ibiki said, "Now, the first exam of the Chunin Selection Tournament will officially begin. Please submit your application form, then come to me to get your number, and take your seat according to the number on the number plate. Afterwards, I will distribute the written test papers."
