In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Lee Rock scratched his head and asked sheepishly.

After all, it's been several years, and he still hasn't learned it. No wonder Xia Mujun doesn't want him to call him teacher; he's just too stupid.

Only he himself truly understood the authenticity of the Tathagata Palm technique; the rapid recovery from his injuries was clearly a result of practicing this palm technique.

"Huh, I never thought that my casual remark back then would lead to this stubborn guy's current level of cultivation."

"However, it's been so long since I succeeded. Could it be that Rock Lee doesn't have the chuunibyou spirit?"

"Perhaps we should let him give up the practice of the Tathagata Palm and focus on learning his Eight Gates Formation."

Xia Mu secretly thought that he was just about to deliberately give Li some pointers on the Eight Gates Formation so that he would give up the Tathagata Palm.

Tiantian walked over: "Hey, is it you who turned that idiot Rock Lee into this?"

"In addition to his daily training, he would also take time every day to push big trees and shout something like 'Buddha's Palm.'"

"The villagers have complained about him several times already; this guy has lost his mind."

"You bastard. Make Rock Lee turn back right now. Don't think I won't hit you just because you're handsome."

Tian Tian walked up to Xia Mu, initially filled with anger, and wanted to grab Xia Mu's collar.

Upon seeing his handsome, refined face, her voice trailed off, and she used her raised hands to smooth the hair behind her ears.

Damn it, how can there be such a handsome and cute guy?

"Tian Tian, ​​what are you saying? How can you talk to Xia Mu like that?"

"The Tathagata Palm technique is real. I haven't mastered it yet because I'm too stupid. You're not allowed to question Natsuki-kun."

Before Xia Mu could reply, Li Luoke quickly grabbed Tiantian, the honest man losing his temper with his teammate for the first time.

His teammates didn't understand, but didn't he? The healing effect of the Tathagata Palm was incredibly helpful to someone like him, a cultivation fanatic who was covered in wounds every day.

However, he knew that Tian Tian was doing this for his teammate, so he gradually softened his tone of voice.

"Alright, do you still want to take the exam?"

"Let's talk about this later. Are you just making a scene here and becoming a laughingstock for others?"

Neji Hyuga, the most prestigious Byakugan genius in Team Guy, reprimanded two of his teammates, who immediately fell silent.

"Ne... Neji-nii-nii-san."

Seeing familiar clansmen approaching, Hinata, standing next to Natsuki, quickly greeted them quietly.

His tone subtly conveyed a sense of fear towards his cousin.

"Humph!"

Hyuga Neji glanced at Hinata and said coldly, "Hinata-san, you shouldn't have participated in this year's Chunin Exams. You're simply not suited to be a ninja... Ah!!!"

boom!

Before Neji could finish speaking, a short, orange-yellow figure slammed into him and sent him flying.

"Big Yellow's back, why is he running wild again?"

Natsuki-kun's reprimand rang out at just the right moment.

It was Agumon that sent Neji flying.

At this moment, Agumon, holding its large head, stood up unsteadily, looking completely bewildered.

It had been standing quietly behind its owner when suddenly an attraction pulled it into the man with the glare.

Damn it, there are just too many inexplicable dangers in this world.

I still miss the days when I was a little lizard, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, with so many insects and food in the forest.

"Damn it, who attacked me?"

Neji, who had fallen flat on his face unexpectedly, was helped up by his good teammates Lee and Tenten, and immediately roared.

In the aisle, the crowd that hadn't yet squeezed into the examination room all looked over.

"No one attacked you, it's just that my big yellow dog was being naughty again."

Xia Mu's calm voice came through, as if what had just happened was really just the little beast's playful behavior.

Neji turned his head and saw that there was indeed a strange little beast with a dog leash next to Natsuki.

I think I was actually knocked down by one of these little animals just now.

"By the way, you're really not suited to be a ninja. Your alertness is too poor; you were accidentally knocked down by my Big Yellow. If you were an enemy, you'd be a corpse by now."

"Besides, someone with this level of skill shouldn't be participating in this year's Chunin Exams. Going home and farming might be more suitable for you."

Natsuki said calmly, pulling Hinata along and leading "Big Yellow" past Neji without looking back.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Natsuki's arrogant attitude, Hyuga Neji was starting to lose his temper.

The veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Neji is about to take his exams, so don't waste your energy on something like this.

Tian Tian quickly stopped him.

Hyuga Neji stumbled and almost fell again.

That's the downside of the Hyuga clan; even when they're just angry, others think they're about to unleash their Byakugan and start a fight.

However, after this interruption, Xia Mu and the others' voices had long since disappeared at the top of the stairs.

"Never mind, see you on the field."

Hyuga Neji waved his hand wearily.

Natsuki, right?

I'll remember you...

108: The Outrageous Chunin Exam, and the Overly Popular Natsuki-san

"Natsuki-kun, you were so cool just now."

Stepping out of the stairwell and seeing that the guys behind him hadn't followed yet, Kiba Inuzuka immediately grinned and burst into laughter.

"That's Hyuga Neji, a genius from the Hyuga clan."

"Well, compared to Natsuki-kun, there is indeed a bit of a gap."

Kiba Inuzuka recalled Natsuki's few displays of strength and immediately felt that he was no match for these people who were about to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Luckily, he was my teammate.

Kiba Inuzuka was once again grateful for the good luck he had when he was assigned to a class after graduation.

Natsuki ignored the impulsive Kiba Inuzuka.

He turned to look at Hinata, who had been keeping her head down.

He reached out and gently patted her head, comforting her, "What's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one can hurt you, not even with words."

"Uh-huh……"

Hinata responded softly, but did not raise her head.

At this moment, her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with happiness.

Xia Mu stood up for her, and he looked so cool.

The overwhelming sense of security, coupled with the constantly replaying images, caused wisps of shy white smoke to rise from her little head.

……

The three of them quickly arrived at the examination room.

Perhaps it was a special arrangement, but Xia Mu saw many familiar faces in this classroom.

Main characters, Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Gaara's Team 15, Sound Ninja Team Tosu, etc.

Oh, and there's one more, the double agent Kabuto Yakushi.

With the arrival of Xia Mu and the others, the noisy classroom fell silent for a moment as sharp gazes were cast upon the three of them.

While people were surprised by the leader's good looks, in the ninja world where strength reigns supreme, especially during the Chunin Exams, people subconsciously tend to focus on more dangerous enemies.

The next moment, the ninjas from the outer village turned their attention to Hinata of the famous Hyuga clan.

Only the girls did not change their gaze.

"What a handsome young man, wearing a Konoha headband. Damn it, another Konoha ninja."

Temari's voice rang out at just the right moment.

A few complaints from Kankuro could be heard from the side.

"Natsuki!"

"Natsuki-kun!"

"The seat next to me is empty. I wonder if Xia Mu's seat is here?"
