Chapter 2218 Approaching

"Ta! Ta! Ta!"

On the stairs leading to the third floor, Sakura Haruno walked at the front and leaned on the left handrail, Sasuke Uchiha followed, walking in the middle of the stairs, and Naruto Uzumaki walked at the end with his shoulders slumped against the inner wall.

Obviously, he has fallen into his own inconspicuous dead end again.

It seems that Sakura has regained her confidence!

But at this time, while walking, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but look at Haruno Sakura who was walking at the front. From the firm back, he could no longer see the wrong Sakura.

At the same time, a thought of relief and relief flashed through my mind.

Before, after entering the ninja school, he finally figured out why his teammate was acting abnormally.

The reason why she often behaves abnormally, especially when it comes to the Chunin Exams, or is related to the Chunin Exams, is that she has lost confidence in herself and doubts her own strength.

And the reason why she is like this is probably because of what she said before.

That sentence, she was worse than Naruto's sentence.

It was at that time that Uchiha Sasuke realized that he might have hurt his teammates.

That's why he specifically mentioned her strengths in illusions and ninja qualities during the previous illusion barrier.

Now it seems that the results are quite good.

In a sense, it can be regarded as Uchiha Sasuke's concern and apology.

"Hey! Crane tail, are you not well prepared for the Chunin exam? I remember that when I gave up the investigation, I told you very clearly that you must prepare well, you..."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke glanced behind him slightly from the corner of his eye, and suddenly said.

Why?

Naruto?

prepare for?

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki, who looked depressed, had not yet reacted.

Haruno Sakura was surprised and immediately looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto behind her.

To be honest, she didn't expect that Sasuke would suddenly say this at this stall.

It sounded like something was wrong with Naruto.

"Let me tell you, Naruto, how long will you go on trying to get into trouble!"

Then, at this moment, when she saw Uzumaki Naruto's depressed face, she suddenly remembered that Naruto seemed to be muttering something inconspicuous just now, and it was obvious that he had got into the horns. I couldn't help but speak at that moment.

"What! Sasuke! What did you say!"

And in this sound, when he heard the voice that belonged to Sasuke Uchiha that was dearest and most hated to him, and the various words that this voice said that made him unhappy, Naruto Uzumaki, who was originally looking depressed, felt like a cat had been stepped on. Like a tail, he immediately raised his head, almost as if his hair was standing on end, and shouted in his mouth to express his anger.

As for his sweetheart's words that sounded like they agreed with Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto naturally filtered them selectively.

It's not that he didn't listen, but... he habitually ignored all comments that were beneficial to the Uchiha Sasuke in front of him.

Therefore, this sentence is only directed at Uchiha Sasuke.

"So you were prepared? So, are you afraid? There are a lot of monsters in this Chuunin Exam! You coward!"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't care at all about this, and even felt that Uzumaki Naruto's reaction was expected by him, so he just spoke lightly at the moment.

Said lightly, but with great irony.

Sasuke?

But Haruno Sakura, who originally wanted to say something when she heard this, such as scolding Naruto and not letting him talk to her sweetheart in this tone, was the only one who swallowed the words completely when they reached her lips.

At the same time, her face suddenly softened, and she suddenly smiled when she looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was not looking at her, and Uzumaki Naruto, who was furious.

A gentle and soft smile.

And at this time, when Haruno Sakura laughed, Uzumaki Naruto's originally angry face became even more angry after hearing these words, and then suddenly he was startled, and suddenly he calmed down again.

At this moment, a series of faces suddenly flashed through Naruto Uzumaki's mind. Suddenly, his expression darkened again, and a serious look appeared on his face.

"ah!"

Then, at the moment when this serious expression emerged, Uzumaki Naruto's shoulders that were originally slumped suddenly straightened up, and his blue eyes looked closely at the back of the figure in front of him with his hands in his pockets.

Then, he softly uttered this word.

I won't lose to you, Sasuke!

And, others!

But there was only one thought in his mind at this time.

"snort!"

In response, Uchiha Sasuke chuckled, with a smile full of fighting spirit that could not be concealed on his face.

At the same time, things like the handsome black-haired boy in white, the watermelon-headed boy in green tights, and the red-haired boy named Gaara carrying a gourd also flashed through his mind!

These are the monsters in this Chunin Exam.

However, he will not lose!

Even a little excited!

Only by defeating these opponents can you prove your strength and prove that your strength has improved!

It is also one that can stand firm between villages!

However, at this moment, just as Haruno Sakura smiled and looked back at the corners of their mouths, the corners of their mouths stiffened at the same time.

It seems that they are thinking of the same person.

I thought of the boy with gray and mottled hair.

Also, the boy from Kusakuin Village whom they had been following for two days seemed to have been cleared of suspicion.

That guy...

And after such a figure flashed through their minds, for some reason, the two of them suddenly couldn't think of the idea of ​​defeating him.

It was as if, in front of this person, they had no confidence that they could defeat him.

In an instant, their expressions froze.

Only that guy...

Only that guy...

But their hearts were already entangled.

…

"Ah Qiu!"

At this moment, a boy with mottled gray hair who was sitting in the corner of the classroom sneezed suddenly as he watched the genin walk into the classroom one after another. His whole body trembled because of the sneeze.

"What's wrong, Brother Kazuye? Do you have a cold?"

At this time, the cute girl who was sitting cross-legged on the table at his left shoulder and kept putting snacks into her mouth stuck her head out and asked with concern.

"Hmph! Obviously, someone is scolding him! Sure enough, you are the one who is always criticized everywhere! Idiot Kazuyo!"

At the same time, the cute boy sitting cross-legged on his right shoulder snorted coldly, turned his head away, crossed his chest and spoke with disdain.

hiss--!

I always feel like I'm being remembered.

Regarding the two children's different reactions, the boy touched his nose, slowly looked at the ceiling, and slowly frowned.
