Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 93 Konoha is doomed again.

The news of Naruto's return quickly spread throughout Konoha.

Most people looked worried, but a few girls showed excitement that was different from the others.

"Naruto Uzumaki? That big star?"

"He's here to participate in the Chunin Exams? Really...?"

"I saw him on the street yesterday! He's even more handsome in person than in photos! I really want an autographed photo!"

The girls showed a unique enthusiasm for this, and Ino, as the leader of the fans, naturally received the news immediately.

Sakura rushed to Ino's flower shop: "Ino, have you heard? Naruto's back!"

"Yes, I've heard about it."

Ino fiddled with the potted plants, humming a song softly, in a very good mood.

Seeing Ino's relaxed expression, Sakura asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going to find him?"

"You'll see him tomorrow."

Ino chuckled lightly: "Our class will also be participating in this Chunin Exam. The guesthouse is full of guys from other ninja villages right now, and it wouldn't be good if a conflict broke out and our information was exposed."

"Is that so..."

Sakura looked on with envy: "You're really good at keeping your composure. All those guys in the village are clamoring to get your autograph."

"Then let them go."

Ino didn't care at all that the Konoha guys were asking Naruto for his autograph.

A bunch of adorable kids, they really know how to make themselves uncomfortable...

In the past two years, she would occasionally see Naruto, such as on his birthday, or when that guy would suddenly feel restless and come out for a stroll.

Like a wildcat, she had long since gotten used to it.

Even when asked about his romantic scandals, he was too lazy to explain, acting all arrogant and dismissive, which made Ino stomp her feet in anger.

But there's nothing I can do; she just likes it.

As she grew older, she came to understand Naruto's original identity and situation, so she looked down on the Konoha leaders and villagers in the slightest.

If she weren't from the Yamanaka clan and had the responsibility of being the clan's heir, she might even have wanted to pack up and leave with Naruto.

"I'm so envious of you. Not only did you get to participate in the Chunin Exams, but you also got to meet the person you like..."

Sakura sighed; compared to Ino, her luck was much worse.

Not to mention the Chunin Exams, because they were paired with two minor teammates, the Jonin leading the team also encountered Kakashi, whose pass rate was zero.

And without a doubt, the entire group was eliminated!

The reason given is a lack of appreciation for companions…

If it weren't for the parents of those two teammates causing a scene at the Hokage's office, she might have already had to go back to school and repeat her studies.

But because of this incident, she missed out on Kakashi, who was a great asset, and was instead led by an ordinary Chunin.

Compared to Jonin, the teaching methods of Chunin team leaders are much more stable; for example, she was unable to register for the Chunin Exams this time.

For some reason, these past two nights, every time she went to sleep, she had a feeling that she had missed something.

The feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if she would be trapped in this cycle for the rest of her life, which disturbed her peace of mind.

"Not only will you see the person you like, but also countless rivals!"

Ino gave a soft snort. Every time she saw Naruto, she could smell the scent of other women on him.

And there's more than one!

"Is that guy a womanizer?"

"You can't say for sure, but he's definitely very attractive to girls, so you're not allowed to like him!"

"..."

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Just as Naruto and his friends settled in, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A blond-haired boy with a high ponytail, covering one eye, stood at the door, looking excited.

Inside the room, Samui's expression suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand and placed it on the hilt of his knife.

"Who are you...?"

Samui scrutinized the blond-haired man's hairstyle, his tone somewhat uncertain: "Yamano Ino?"

"Who is that?!"

Deidara's face darkened: "I am Deidara of Iwagakure! Don't mistake me for someone else, you bastard! Huh!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Inside the room, Naruto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although I was a little puzzled as to why this guy hadn't joined Akatsuki, I figured it out after thinking about it.

In the original story, Itachi recruited this guy into the organization, but now that Itachi hasn't joined Akatsuki, apart from Pain, it's not certain that anyone else can capture him.

After all, it is one of the few beings with the ability to fly, even though it is a whirlwind power-transmitting force.

"Who cares, you Iwagakure guy? You're here to provoke me?"

Samui's tone was cold, implying that he was ready to chop at the slightest provocation.

"No, no, don't misunderstand, I'm here to discuss art!"

Deidara waved his hand with a grin, his palms forming two mouths, which sent a chill down Karin's spine.

"The old man sent me to cause some trouble for Konoha's exams, and I didn't expect you to show up too! Hmm!"

Deidara pointed at Naruto: "Naruto Uzumaki, I've seen your movies. Your ninjutsu is quite artistic, isn't it? How about we have a contest sometime?"

"Shall we have a comparison?"

Sasuke, who was leaning against the corner of the room with his Kusanagi sword in his arms, suddenly raised his head, his Sharingan with three tomoe glowing with an eerie red light.

"What are you?"

He has trained hard for so many years, but he still doesn't have the qualifications to face Naruto directly. This kid just barged in like that and even dared to challenge his own master!

Sasuke used his Sharingan to freeze Deidara in place, then got up, walked over to Deidara, and tossed him into the stairwell like trash.

Then, about half a minute later, the entire building could hear Deidara's furious and foul-mouthed shouting...

"Hahaha, this Deidara senior is such a loser, he was taken down with just a look..."

"Shut up, Kurotsuchi! I swear I'll never forgive the Uchiha! Aaaaaah!"

"Earth Release: Heart Decapitation! Sorry to bother everyone, we'll take him away now..."

Hearing the commotion coming from the corridor, Sasuke smiled contemptuously, and Naruto found it amusing as well.

Putting aside his tendency to pull out bombs from time to time, Deidara is quite an interesting character.

However, Iwagakure also sent people to participate in this exam, and they all had similar goals: to humiliate Konoha...

I wonder if Orochimaru will pull off a Konoha Crush plan like in the original story.

He hadn't contacted Orochimaru for a while; that guy was currently focused on researching cloning technology, so the chances of him causing trouble were slim.

With that in mind, the next day, the first exam of the Chunin Exams began.

Naruto saw Kimimaro, Tayuya, and Jirobo, who were wearing headbands from the Sound Village.

Gaara, Temari, Kankuro from Sunagakure...

Chojuro of Kirigakure is accompanied by two minor characters...

Deidara from Iwagakure, Kurotsuchi, and an unknown extra...

In addition to the Konoha 11s from the original manga, Naruto also met some familiar faces among the Konoha contestants.

For example, Aburame Torune, Sai, Yamanaka Fu...

Danzo, that old man, really is a leopard that can't change its spots.

Sensing the unmistakable malice emanating from the three, Naruto couldn't help but laugh.

Konoha is doomed again...
