I rely on myself

Chapter 689 Conflict
The day of the Chunin exam soon arrived, and all the young ninjas who came to Konoha from various ninja villages in various countries gathered at the Konoha Ninja Academy, because this was the location for the first exam.

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the assessment, it is natural for the students in the Ninja School to be given early vacation and allowed to return home.

Naturally, the two teams from the Snow Country arrived at the assessment site early, intending to take the exam.

Since arriving in Konoha, they have been staying very peacefully in the accommodation arranged by Konoha. As for Chiyomi from the Fatui team's plan to take a walk around Konoha Village, no one mentioned it again after they were disturbed once.

As soon as they arrived in Konoha and placed their luggage at the accommodation, Chiyomi and the other six people immediately prepared to go sightseeing in Konoha, the leader of the five great ninjas. As for Jie, the team leader, he stayed at the accommodation.

After all, although it is a ninja village in a foreign country, they have arrived as guests. Even for their own face, Konoha will surely be vigilant against any accidents, so safety should not be a problem. In addition, the strength of the six people including Lie is also good, so Jie is still very relieved.

Walking on the commercial street of Konoha at the beginning of the school year, the six friends including Lie were in good spirits. However, their spirits were soon disturbed by the ninjas who were watching them from all directions.

As ninjas from the Snow Country, Rei and his companions were mentally prepared for the possibility of being monitored in the ninja village of Konoha in another country, but even so, they could not withstand the current situation.

Because the number of ninjas secretly monitoring them was obviously too many, almost each of the six people was monitored by a secret ninja, and at one point the number of people monitoring him even reached three.

Moreover, the sight of these secretly monitoring ninjas is not concealed much. Generally speaking, in order to avoid being discovered by the target, the monitors will hide themselves as much as possible.

And now, the ninja who was secretly monitoring the six people including Lie not only did not hide himself, but also kept staring at them. The intensity of this gaze even made Lie and the others feel something.

In this situation, no matter how good the mood was, it would soon be gone. The six people had no choice but to return to their accommodation. Only when they got back to the house could they barely get rid of the following gaze.

However, even after returning to the accommodation, the ninjas who were secretly monitoring the surroundings did not leave. They stared at the place closely and did not let go of any creature entering or leaving.

Even if it was necessary surveillance, this level was obviously excessive. As the team leader, Jie naturally reported this to the reception staff arranged by Konoha. The Konoha reception staff nodded repeatedly after hearing it, and then forgot about it. The surveillance around the accommodation in the Snow Country continued.

Now everyone could see that Konoha did this on purpose. There was nothing they could do. Now that they were in the opponent's home court, they didn't have any good ideas. The six of Lie stayed in the accommodation and adjusted their conditions until the Chunin Exam began.

"What are these people doing here... Alas! That's an illusion!"

As soon as the six people from the Snow Country walked up to the second floor, they saw a lot of people gathered together. While they were wondering, Kitajo Hirokazu suddenly realized something.

"It's an illusion, for sure. The people gathered there should have been affected by the illusion and thought that was the place where they would gather for the exam."

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Rei knows the most about illusion among the six people, so what he said is the most accurate. Mizunotsuki Shun on the side also complained about this. "I understand why Konoha did this, it's nothing more than to filter out some guys who don't pass the test, but even so, aren't there too many guys who got caught, and most of them are ninjas from small ninja villages, right? After all, they were sent to participate in the Chunin exam, so they should have one or two brooms, but this is the result."

Mizunotsuki Shun's complaints were also what the other five people were thinking. However, although they were surprised, they did not remind each other and went straight to the third floor from somewhere else and entered the designated room. Sure enough, there were some guys inside who looked completely different from those who were deceived by the simple illusion.

As soon as they stepped into the classroom, Lie and the other six attracted a lot of attention. None of them showed any fear and simply found an empty seat and sat down.

Seeing that they could not scare the newcomers, the other people in the classroom looked deeply at the six people from the Snow Country, as if they had completely memorized their appearance and stopped paying attention to them.

Then other people came in one after another. At first, the six of Lie were interested in observing, but they soon lost interest and chatted with each other to kill time, waiting for the exam to begin.

At this moment, a voice resounded throughout the classroom: "I am Uzumaki Naruto, I will not lose to you!!!"

These confident, even arrogant words instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the classroom.

Lie and the others were naturally no exception. They didn't care much about the guy who said this. What they were more curious about was whether the person who said this was confident or just stupid.

After all, at this time, and in this atmosphere, saying such provocative words would inevitably provoke attacks from others, and they all looked like they were enjoying the show.

The person who spoke these provocative words without thinking in the classroom was none other than Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha Village. Around him, besides Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura who were also from Team 7, there were also Team 8 who graduated at the same time: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Team 10: Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi.

At this moment, they all looked at Naruto with a helpless look, completely unable to understand why he said this at this time.

And indeed, the other people in the classroom cast sinister glances at Naruto and the others around him, making people suspect that they might attack at any time, and this was indeed the case.

A figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd and ran straight towards Naruto and his group.

Because it was too sudden and the opponent's speed was so fast, Naruto had no time to react at all. Just when everyone thought that Naruto would be hit, the figure's target was not Naruto, but Kabuto Yakushi who claimed to have participated in the Chunin Exam seven times.

Faced with this sudden attack, Yakushi Kabuto reacted at the critical moment and dodged backwards in time to avoid the opponent's attack. Just as he was laughing triumphantly, his face suddenly changed, his body lost balance and fell to the ground, looking extremely painful.
