Chapter 431：

"But it should be soon. They will come for the Chunin Exam this time."

Gaara was a little unhappy when he heard this. After all, he came here just to thank Natsuki in person.

Temari was a little strange. Uchiha Sasuke was Natsuki's disciple, so why didn't Sasuke follow Natsuki and leave Konoha?

At this time, Maki, who was following Gaara, walked up.

He saw that Gaara had been chatting with these people for a long time. It was okay for Gaara to make friends, but not now.

Because there might be a fight during the chuunin exam.

Now that we are too familiar with each other, it will be difficult to make a move when the time comes.

"Gaara, go back first."

When Gaara saw it was Maki, he was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically to Naruto and the others:

"We have to leave. See you tomorrow for the Chunin Exam."

Naruto nodded:

"You will be your opponent in the Chunin Exam, so work hard!"

Gaara showed a smile:

"Then you have to be careful, I'm very strong."

Naruto stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up: "See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Gaara and the others nodded to Sasuke Hinata and followed Maki.

At this time, there were three people wearing Kusanagi forehead protectors next to the nearby Malatang shop.

The three grass ninja genin were all eating.

One of the short men was quietly observing Naruto.

Stretching out his right hand, with all five fingers spread out, pointing at Naruto's finger, a small flame suddenly jumped out.

A satisfied smile appeared on this man's face.

Immediately afterwards, a small flame appeared on his other finger.

The man looked stunned and looked in that direction.

That was the direction Gaara left.

His expression changed from shock to surprise, and then he extinguished the small flame in his hand.

Thinking of the Sunagakure forehead protector worn by Gaara, I felt thoughtful.

…

Chapter 482 Protection

Konoha Village.

At this time, Natsuki was in Orochimaru's laboratory.

Kabuto Yakushi is back, and he is also here to exchange some experimental projects with Orochimaru.

In the outside world, Medicine Master Kabuto is the shadow of Yinyin Village.

But here, Orochimaru is Orochimaru's little follower.

It was obvious that Kabuto Yakushi was very happy to see Orochimaru.

The gentle face was full of admiration for Orochimaru.

And the four sound ninjas all stood aside obediently.

Kabuto Yakushi showed his experimental ideas and results to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru noticed the rich natural energy in the bodies of the four people, and praised Yakushi Kabuto:

"Your idea is quite good. This way we can train a group of suitable subordinates as quickly as possible."

"However, there will be some difficulties in subsequent strengthening."

Kabuto pushed up his glasses:

"The current Sound Ninja Village is in urgent need of a few masters to support it, otherwise it will not be able to control the people below."

The foundation of Sound Ninja Village is too low. The people who enter the village now are basically rebellious ninjas from other villages and wandering ninjas.

Nowadays, it is a very long process to slowly cultivate your own people.

The reason for this chunin exam is that there will definitely be trouble in Konoha, and asking the pharmacist to come over may be useful.

As for the genin, there are only a few rookies in the genin of Otogakure.

They were brought here just to make up the numbers for the exam, and they had been warned that this Chunin exam was very dangerous.

Just let them save their own lives when the time comes.

Kabuto had conveyed the experimental ideas to Orochimaru a long time ago.

Some of these theories can be used when Orochimaru and Natsuki discuss Kimimaro's condition.

Now Xia Mu has seen four real objects.

The four sound ninjas are all familiar to everyone.

But except for Sakon, Ukon, and Tayuya, Natsuki couldn't even remember the names of the other two.

It can only be said that Kabuto is really a talented person, and these people have no use for the curse seal.

They actually turned it into a power bank, and this power bank can also use this natural energy by itself.

Although they are all degraded immortal arts, they are cursed to seal life.

Now this is enough without natural energy supplement.

Moreover, as a magical power bank, you can also strengthen your physical fitness at any time, which can only be said to be Yakushi Kabuto 666.

Natsuki discussed with Orochimaru again, and after confirming that he was well prepared for the things he might encounter recently, he returned to the Uchiha clan.

…

As soon as they returned to the tribe, Sasuke and Naruto came over.

"Master/Senior."

Both of them were very happy to see Xia Mu.

They all discovered that Xia Mu was a standard talker and a soft-spoken person.

Every time he said that they would meet again after a long time, he was always lying to them.

Every time soon, they can meet again

So there is no need to be reluctant at all.

Even the time they spent sometimes going out to do tasks was longer than the time they were separated from Xia Mu.

"We just met Sunagakure's people at the snack street, and there is a Gaara among them who is looking for you."

"Natsuki-senpai, is that Gaara the same as me?"

Naruto asked.

Natsuki naturally knew what Naruto was talking about:

"Yes, he is the same as you. Have you become friends now?"

Naruto scratched his head, thinking how could Senior Natsuki know this.

"How do you know, Natsuki-senpai? I felt like we hit it off as soon as I met Gaara, and now we are friends!"

At this time, Sasuke snorted inexplicably.

"Hey, Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto asked Sasuke with some confusion.

Why does Sasuke look a little unhappy?

Natsuki glanced at Sasuke with an incomprehensible look. Sasuke felt guilty, and then said to Naruto:

"It's nothing, my throat feels uncomfortable."

Naruto said oh and stopped worrying about it.

Instead, he asked Xia Mu:

"Natsuki-senpai, why do you know Gaara?"

Natsuki rubbed Naruto's head, but said to Sasuke:

"Because he had the same reason as you and his life was not good, so when I went to Sunagakure Village to discuss business, I helped him strengthen the seal."

"Oh! So that's it! Senior, you are so kind!"

What life was like when Naruto was a child, he still has fresh memories.

Unexpectedly, Gaara was also deeply disturbed by it.

At this time, Naruto's resonance with Gaara became deeper.

From what happened to Naruto in the past, as well as the rumors from the villagers at that time, and now the tailed beast coat that Naruto wears.

Sasuke has long known that Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and Sasuke also understood the conversation between Natsuki and Naruto.

So the unpleasant feeling towards Gaara gradually disappeared.

No wonder Naruto and Gaara hit it off immediately. It turns out that they both had the same childhood.

Seeing the change in the expression on Sasuke's face, Natsuki said no more.

Sasuke still gets into trouble over some inexplicable little things.

But this is only related to Naruto. If it has nothing to do with Naruto, Sasuke's IQ will be online.

"Are you confident about the Chunin Exams starting tomorrow?"

Sasuke said confidently:

"It's just a child's thing. With Naruto and I's strength, it's easy."

Natsuki hit Sasuke on the head with a bang.

"Ouch!"

Sasuke hugged his head all of a sudden. Natsuki was really knocking him. As soon as he went down, Sasuke felt his head was buzzing.

"When will you change your temper that makes you arrogant and arrogant if you don't deal with it for two days?"

Sasuke muttered while rubbing:

"Naruto and I have already reached chuunin or above in strength, so there is no problem."

Natsuki waved to the two of them, and then took them to the Uchiha training ground.

Inside the training ground were the genin that Natsuki brought back to take the exam. They were doing some confrontational training.

Kimimaro, Shiro and Hinata Shu are doing cooperative training.

Natsuki pointed at the field:

"Sasuke, this is your mission, bring these people back safely."

Sasuke's face gradually became serious at this time, and his master asked him to bring these people back safely.

It means that tomorrow's Chunin Examination may be very dangerous.

Naruto didn't understand it for the first time.

But Natsuki smiled and said to Naruto:

"Naruto, tomorrow is a test. The test is that you can come back alive."

Naruto swallowed, he always felt that Natsuki-senpai had evil intentions.

"Senior, what will happen tomorrow?"
