Chapter 90 Advice to Sasuke

The Third Hokage's eyes slowly moved over these young candidates, and his deep eyes seemed to carry the past and future of Konoha Village. Seven of the ten people who passed the test this time were from Konoha, which was a gratifying result. Especially six of them were freshmen who graduated this year. They were like the rising sun, emitting vigorous vitality and energy.

The Third Hokage was filled with emotion. The courage, wisdom and perseverance shown by these freshmen in the assessment made him see the hope for the future of Konoha Village. Some of them are full of energy, like Naruto who never gives up; some are cool and handsome, like Sasuke who is mysterious; some are smart and wise, like Shikamaru who is calm and self-assured; some are honest and cute, like Choji who is innocent; some are calm and introverted, like Comrades who blend into the environment; some are lively and pretty, like Ino who is full of confidence. Each of them has unique charm and potential, like a bright star, and will soon shine even brighter on the stage of the Chunin Exam.

The Third Hokage had to sigh at the strength of this new generation. Their appearance has injected new vitality and hope into Konoha Village. He believes that in the days to come, these young ninjas will shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha Village and write their own legendary chapter.

The Third Hokage straightened his back slightly, a gratified smile on his face. His eyes slowly swept over the young faces in front of him, and in them, he seemed to see the bright and glorious future of Konoha Village.

"You are the hope of Konoha and the backbone of the future." The voice of the Third Hokage was steady and powerful, echoing in the air like a huge bell. "Now, let me announce the precautions for the third test. First, the third test is open to the public. On the day of the competition, there will be many spectators, including daimyos and kages from friendly countries. Therefore, I hope that representatives from all countries can fully display their strengths and leave no regrets for themselves. Second, the official examination will be held in a month. During this period, I hope everyone can fully relax and have a good rest. In addition, there is one more important thing to tell you. This third test is not simply for the purpose of winning, but to let you fully demonstrate whether you have the ability to be a Chunin. In other words, as long as you perform well and gain the recognition of the judges, then even if you lose in the competition, you may still be promoted to Chunin."

After the Third Hokage's words fell, the young candidates on the field had different expressions. Some of them were rubbing their hands, looking forward to the upcoming challenge; others were lost in thought, as if they were evaluating their own strength and the strength of their opponents.

Then the third generation said: "Then disband now. Before that, go to Hongdou to draw the list of opponents for the third exam." This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples in the hearts of the candidates. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity about the unknown opponent, and a hint of nervousness. They knew that this list of opponents would determine their fate in the next exam.

The examinees began to slowly disperse, each with different feelings, walking towards the direction where Hongdou was. Their steps were either firm or hesitant, but without exception, they all carried their vision and anxiety for the future. The journey of this Chunin Exam is still going on, and new challenges are about to begin.

After the game, Naruto drew Hyuga Neji as expected. He stared at the battle list in his hand, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "How dare you bully Hinata, I will beat the shit out of you."

At this time, Naruto was immersed in his own thoughts, but Sasuke came leisurely. "Hey, Naruto, I drew the panda eyes with a gourd on his back." Sasuke's tone was mixed with a hint of coldness and confidence, "In the next month, you have to train with me well." His eyes were as firm as iron, knowing that his opponent was no ordinary person, and he had to do his best to improve his strength in this month to gain the upper hand in the battle.

When Naruto heard Sasuke's words, he immediately put away his teasing and turned to look at Sasuke. "No problem, Sasuke. That guy with the gourd on his back looks difficult to deal with, but you must not lose."

Sasuke raised his chin slightly and snorted coldly: "Humph, how could I lose. But you, don't let that guy from the Hyuga family beat you to a pulp."

Naruto chuckled and said, "I'm not bragging, but as for that guy Neji, as long as I use all my strength, I can poke him to death with just one finger."

While the two were joking, Naruto suddenly paused. He stood there quietly, as if he was caught up in some thoughts. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, slowly raised his head to the sky, and sighed deeply. That sigh seemed to contain endless emotion and thought.

Looking at Naruto's appearance, Sasuke was full of confusion for a moment: "Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Sasuke's eyes revealed concern and curiosity. He didn't understand why Naruto would behave like this.

Then, Naruto looked at Sasuke deeply, with a complicated look in his eyes. He slowly said, "Sasuke. To be honest, there is not much I can teach you right now." These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in Sasuke's heart.

Sasuke frowned slightly, staring at Naruto, and said in a deep voice: "Naruto, what do you mean by this?"

Naruto withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at Sasuke, shaking his head slightly: "Sasuke, look at you now, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Whether it is the use of ninjutsu or combat strategy, you have your own unique insights. As long as you continue to work hard to practice what I teach you, you will be able to reach a level above the Kage level in the future."

Sasuke was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc: "Huh, Kage level... that's just a new starting point."

Naruto looked at Sasuke's still arrogant appearance, but he was relieved in his heart. "Sasuke, do you know what you need now?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Naruto, and waited for his next words.

Naruto said seriously: "Sasuke, what you need now is a challenge. Only by constantly challenging yourself can your strength break through faster."

Sasuke's eyes flashed after hearing what Naruto said. He nodded slightly, acknowledging Naruto's words: "You are right, Naruto. Challenge is indeed what I need now. Only by constantly challenging the strong can I continue to break through my limits and become stronger."

Sasuke's tone was full of determination, as if he couldn't wait to find new challenges. Naruto looked at Sasuke's fighting spirit and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

"Sasuke, I didn't want to do this originally, but after thinking about it, I still decided to give you a suggestion." Naruto said solemnly.
