Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Chapter 80 Chunin Exams

"Naruto-nii, don't go! I've been bullied by bad guys! Please come and save me!"

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything at all————"

Muttering to himself, Naruto quickened his pace and led Hinata away.

"Waaaaah—Naruto-nii, I misjudged you—"

'

Seeing this, Konohamaru felt so wronged that tears streamed down his face.

Kankuro said smugly, "Hmph, brat, your Naruto brother is a coward—"

Bang!

Kankuro had no time to react before he was sent flying and crashed heavily into a tree.

"Don't you know there are some things you can't say?"

Konohamaru fell to the ground with a thud, it hurt, but he didn't cry. Instead, he happily hugged the leg in front of him and said excitedly, "Big brother Naruto, I knew you cared about me."

Naruto said expressionlessly, "If you don't let go, I'll kick you away too, you believe me?"

Naruto and Konohamaru are not familiar with each other.

It was just that a few years ago, Naruto's arrogant behavior of smashing stones on people in the street was seen by the brat Konohamaru—Konohamaru imitated him, and unsurprisingly, he was beaten up by his family.

Naruto smashes someone, Tsukasa.

Konohamaru hitting people is not acceptable.

So Konohamaru recognized Naruto as his older brother, but Naruto had no desire to play with a child and remained indifferent.

"Brother Naruto, you're really joking—"

Konohamaru didn't believe him and hugged him even tighter. Naruto pretended to kick him, but Konohamaru chuckled and quickly let go. He then turned his gaze to Hinata and said ingratiatingly, "This must be my sister-in-law. You and my brother are indeed a perfect match—"

"Sister-in-law————"

Hinata was in a daze and couldn't hear what Konohamaru said next.

"Let's go."

Ignoring Konohamaru's flattery, Naruto took Hinata's hand and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there! You think you can just leave like that?!"

With Temari's help, Kankuro stood up. Seeing that Naruto, who had ambushed him, was about to leave, he flew into a rage, roared, and untied the bandages wrapped around his back.

This is a raven, a type of puppet that can be used to unleash various attacks.

Just before he was about to make his move, a voice came from above Kankuro's head.

"You're being way too presumptuous in someone else's village!"

Sasuke sat on a tree branch, leaning against the trunk, looking down indifferently at the two Sand Ninja below.

"You'll be very handsome when you grow up."

Temari's eyes lit up. Sunagakure was full of rough men, and seeing a young and handsome man like Sasuke for the first time made her feel extremely happy.

"Damn it, when did this happen—"

Kankuro, who was about to make a move, was startled and quickly retreated, creating distance to prepare for battle.

"Stop, Kankuro!"

As the sound rang out, sand and dust gathered in the air and transformed into a red-haired boy carrying a giant gourd.

"Don't embarrass me here anymore—"

Gaara's murderous gaze made Kankuro break out in a cold sweat, and Temari lost all interest in admiring the handsome man, quickly stepping in to smooth things over.

Sasuke jumped down from the tree. Sakura was chatting with Hinata. Naruto glanced at the two of them and asked in confusion, "Why are you two together? Are you on a date?"

Sasuke crossed his arms and sneered, "Do you think I'm like you? You never do anything productive, it's her who keeps bothering me—"

Sakura looked distressed upon hearing this; she was having such a hard time.

Hinata handed Sakura a skewer of meatballs to comfort her, saying, "Don't be sad, you'll feel better after eating something."

"I'm very interested in you. What are your names?"

Gaara walked up to Naruto.

Naruto said calmly, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, Calabash Brother. What's your name?"

"Calabash Brothers?"

Everyone present subconsciously looked at the large gourd behind Gaara—and to be honest, calling it the Calabash Brothers is quite fitting.

Kankuro almost burst out laughing, but Temari reacted quickly and covered his mouth, saving the silly little brother's life.

A terrifying, bloodthirsty killing intent permeated the air, but Naruto remained unmoved, even yawning out of boredom.

"interesting----"

Gaara suppressed his murderous intent and said coldly, "Naruto Uzumaki, is that it? I'll remember you. Now remember my name—I am Gaara of the Sandstorm."

"I understand, Calabash Brothers, I get it."

'

'

The murderous aura surged again, but it was useless; it didn't even scare Sakura.

Why—are they not afraid of me?

A flicker of confusion crossed Gaara's eyes. He silently suppressed his killing intent and turned his gaze to Sasuke. "I'm also very interested in you. Your name—"

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

Sasuke announced his name with dramatic intonation, displaying the air of a domineering king.

Her eyes were slightly fascinated as she gazed at Sasuke, Temari's cheeks flushed slightly, and she murmured to herself, "Uchiha? No wonder he's so handsome—"

Sakura spread her arms, standing between Sasuke and Temari, and asked warily, "You're from the Sand Village, right? Why are you in Konoha?"

Temari was very unhappy that she was prevented from admiring the handsome guy, so she took out her pass.

"Hmph! Even our own people don't know. Look closely, this is my pass. We Sand Ninja are here in Konoha to participate in the Chunin Selection Exams—"

Location for Chunin Exam registration.

"—I think you all know that the basic requirement is to fulfill at least eight tasks. As for the rest—it depends on your recommendations. Kakashi, you can go first."

The Third Hokage sat in his seat, a pipe dangling from his lips, and spoke.

Kakashi, with his dead fish eyes, listlessly said, "I recommend Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno from Team 7—"

Kurenai Yuhi said, "I recommend Hinata Hyuga from Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, and—"

Who else was there?

Kurenai paused, frowning in thought. "Speaking of which—there are only three people in Class 8, aren't there?"

Where did the fourth one come from?

"Aburame Shino."

Asuma whispered a reminder, gesturing for Kurenai to look at her application form, which had her name on it.

Kurenai glanced gratefully at Asuma, introduced Shino, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I was rude just now."

"It's alright, it's not your fault. After all, I've heard about that child's situation."

For example, right now, the Third Hokage can't even remember Shino's name.

The recommendations continued, and Asuma, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "I recommend Class 10: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi."

""

The Third Generation said, "Is that all? That's a bit unexpected—"

"Please wait a moment! Lord Hokage, please allow me to say something."

Iruka stepped forward and angrily said to the three Jonin instructors, "They're just recent graduates. They should be given more experience. Making them participate in the Chunin Exams now will ruin them!"

Asuma said, "I know Shikamaru and the others' strength; they are capable of participating in the Chunin Exams."

Kurenai said, "Iruka-sensei, you're just overthinking it. They're not as weak as you think."

Kakashi bluntly stated, "Someone like you could take on a hundred of Naruto's."
