Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 156 Bloom, Youth! (Third and Fourth Updates)

Hinata Hanabi wore a pale yellow kimono, had shoulder-length short hair, and a small red flower in her hair, giving her a cute and ladylike appearance.

But that's all just the surface.

Her personality is more lively and mischievous than in the original work.

Because she doesn't have that much pressure.

Since she became Tsunade's student, the Hyuga clan has dared not say anything more.

There is no competition between her and Hinata Hyuga, nor is there any need for her to desperately shoulder the so-called hopes of the family.

Good morning, big brother.

Hinata Hanabi smiled and stretched out her small, white hand, saying, "I want candy."

Oil Girl Zhihui casually took out a lollipop.

"Thanks."

Hinata Hanabi tore open the packaging, put it in her mouth, and licked it with her little pink tongue.

"It's almost time, let's go into the venue."

Hiashi Hyuga reminded him.

"Big brother, come here."

Hyuga Hanabi glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, then grabbed Aburame Shiki and ran forward.

"What's wrong?"

Oil Girl Zhihui followed quickly.

Soon, they had created a distance of two or three meters between themselves and Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hinata.

"How about I distract Father for you?"

Hinata Hanabi asked in a low voice.

"What do you want now?"

Oil Girl Zhihui couldn't help but smile.

"I'm doing this so you can become my brother-in-law sooner."

Hyuga Hanabi snorted lightly, saying with dissatisfaction, "I don't expect anything in return!"

"Really?"

You Nuzhihui looked at her apple-like face and drawled.

"Of course it's true."

Hinata Hanabi said with a straight face, "But if you insist on buying me snacks, I won't refuse."

"Let's skip today, your sister and I have to take the Chunin Exams."

Oil Girl Zhihui smiled and reached out to touch her hair.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hanabi paused for a moment, then couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"After the Chunin Exams are over, I'll take you shopping. You can eat whatever you want."

"Oil Girl Zhihui added."

"Very good!"

Hinata Hanabi's eyes lit up with satisfaction, and she said, "Brother-in-law, good luck!"

After she finished speaking, she ran back to Hinata Hyuga's side.

After giving her a sweet smile, he grabbed her hand and then winked at You Nu Zhihui.

He's so young but so clever.

They've already started calling him brother-in-law.

Aburame Shiki smiled and met Hyuga Hiashi's gaze.

He coughed lightly and called out, "Hyuga-san."

Hiashi Hyuga's lips twitched slightly.

You're only saying hello now?

You've even started whispering secrets with my daughter!

But what can we do?

"Be extra careful during the finals."

Hiashi Hyuga said expressionlessly.

"I will."

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded.

Four people walked into the venue.

The competition area is located in the very center, while the stands are on all four sides.

"Over there."

Hinata Hanabi took out two tickets, glanced at them, and pointed to the left.

As for Hinata Hyuga, she is a contestant, so she doesn't need a ticket.

"Let's go over there first."

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Hinata Hyuga.

Without her noticing, she had already stood next to You Nu Zhihui, just like a young wife.

A daughter is like a tree that grows up and cannot be kept at home.

But at least we have to save Hinata Hanabi.

After all, the Hyuga clan needs an heir.

Hiashi Hyuga is getting old and no longer has the idea of ​​creating a new version of himself.

"Kill them all!"

Hinata Hanabi waved her little fist and said in a cute but fierce way.

After they left, Hinata Hyuga looked up at Shiki Aburame.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Oil Girl Zhihui noticed her gaze.

"Um... what did Hanabi say to you?"

Hinata Hyuga averted her gaze in alarm, clutching the hem of her clothes, and asked, "She often talks nonsense."

"She made a bet with me, saying that if I came in first place, she would buy me snacks."

"That's what Zhihui the oil lady said casually."

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Her relationship with Hinata Hanabi is even more harmonious than in the original work.

But precisely because of this, Hinata Hanabi sometimes seems completely uninhibited, which makes her feel very embarrassed.

"It's Ino and the others."

Yu Nu Zhihui's searching gaze stopped, and he said, "Let's go over and say hello."

"Um."

Hinata Hyuga nodded obediently.

"Zhihui-kun!"

When Yamanaka Ino saw Aburame Shiki from afar, she quickly got up and waved to him.

Beside her were Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Sakura Haruno.

"Where's Sasuke?"

As Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shiki approached, she couldn't wait to ask.

"I didn't train with them."

Aburame Shiki explained, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll arrive soon."

In the original work, both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha encountered accidents.

Naruto Uzumaki was chased into the venue by a herd of cattle because of Konohamaru's help.

Uchiha Sasuke was late because he was practicing Chidori.

Logically, the score should be cancelled.

Ultimately, thanks to the efforts of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, his match was postponed.

Of course, it was Orochimaru disguised as Rasa.

"Won't we miss the deadline?"

Sakura Haruno asked with a worried expression.

"Sakura".

Yamanaka Ino grasped her hand and said, "What Shiki-kun says is definitely true."

Hinata Hyuga was slightly taken aback.

She bit her lip, but didn't say anything.

"rest assured."

Oil Girl Zhihui, looking on with amusement, said, "Today they're rivals; whoever loses will wake up in the middle of the night regretting it."

Eh?

Zhihui, you're so mean.

Yamanaka Ino patted the empty seat next to her and said, "I saved this seat especially for you guys."

I was originally going to say it was for you, but considering Hinata Hyuga, I changed it to you guys.

It's true that they're rivals, but they're also good friends.

Moreover, it's impossible to be too obvious in front of Yu Nu Zhihui.

"Shikamaru, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Aburame Shiki glanced at Nara Shikamaru, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked.

"No."

Nara Shikamaru said listlessly, "I'm thinking about how to play the match later."

"What? Just because the opponent is pretty, you're going to go easy on them?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked jokingly."

"What do you mean by 'showing mercy'? Didn't you see how fierce she was, like a tigress, in the qualifiers?"

Nara Shikamaru trembled as he spoke, "I just want to save my life."

Temari's personality is indeed quite fiery, or rather, straightforward.

Aburame Shiki could only cast a sympathetic glance at Nara Shikamaru.

"Hey, what kind of look is that?"

Nara Shikamaru felt a chill run down his spine for no reason, and had a bad feeling.

Just then, the venue suddenly fell silent.

"There are two shadows."

Choji Akimichi stopped showing off his potato chips and looked curious.

This was the first time he had seen the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Like Tsunade, he wore a divine robe and a katakage hat.

"Why are you still wearing a mask?"

Yamanaka Ino asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps it's just a habit."

Sakura Haruno, displaying her academic genius, said, "Sunagakure is located in the desert, where sandstorms are frequent, so we always wear masks when we go out."

"We should go down and assemble now; the referee is already waiting for us."

Aburame Shiki caught a glimpse of Genma Shiranui, who was holding a senbon needle in his mouth.

"You should go quickly."

Sakura Haruno smiled and said, "Good luck!"

Choji Akimichi also raised his chubby little hand.

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Nara Shikamaru stared with dead fish eyes, then got up and followed Aburame Shiki, Yamanaka Ino, and the others.

On the high platform.

Two seats were placed side by side in the middle.

"Lord Hokage, I've long admired you."

Orochimaru said in a calm tone.

Despite the change in her manner of speaking, Tsunade still felt a sense of déjà vu.

She didn't think much of it, because she had met Luo Sha a few times before.

It's normal for some faces to look familiar.

"Lord Kazekage, please have a seat."

Tsunade raised her hand and said.

"Is that the Third Hokage?"

After Orochimaru sat down, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi not far away.

"good."

Tsunade casually remarked, "Our teacher has always been concerned about the growth of the younger generation, so I came to observe the ceremony."

Orochimaru curled his lip.

When did Tsunade learn to be so polite?

Sure enough, becoming Hokage really makes a difference.

People change.

Orochimaru would occasionally think back to his rivalry with Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

What if he became the Fourth Hokage?

But then he thought about it again, and realized that the Hokage was just a constraint for him.

"As expected of the Third Hokage."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "I grew up listening to his stories."

"You can talk after the Chunin Exams are over."

Tsunade followed his words.

Normally, a banquet would be held afterward to celebrate or to strengthen relationships.

"certainly."

Orochimaru nodded slightly and said, "I will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

This guy's tone sounded very sincere, not like he was just being polite.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune, standing behind Tsunade, reminded her, "The seats are full; you may begin your remarks."

"Does Lord Kazekage have anything to say?"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru.

"No, please go ahead."

Orochimaru extended his hand and said.

"Alright then."

Tsunade stopped making excuses and walked to the edge of the platform to look down.

At this moment, the fifteen winners of the second round were standing in the arena.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki also arrived in time.

It didn't have as many unexpected situations as in the original work.

"Welcome everyone. On behalf of Konoha, I would like to express my gratitude to you all."

Tsunade said succinctly, "Now, please enjoy the brilliance of the younger generation of ninjas."

"It's really simple."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

This is the Tsunade he knows.

Inside the venue.

Genma Shiranui, who was biting into a thousand sachets, couldn't help but pause slightly.

Is it that fast?

"Hello everyone, I am the referee for this match, Genma Shiranui."

Genma Shiranui introduced himself.

In the original work, he once served as a bodyguard for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and mastered the Flying Thunder Formation technique.

According to the original plot, he was supposed to become the bodyguard of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

But with the intervention of Yu Nu Zhihui, there was no hope left.

"The rules of the game are simple: the battle ends when one side concedes or dies."

Genma Shiranui paused for a moment, then said, "There's one more rule: obey the referee's orders. If I tell you to stop, you stop."

"knew!"

Naruto Uzumaki eagerly asked, "Is the first match between me and Sasuke?"

"The first match is between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha."

Genma Shiranui glanced at him and said, "The rest of you, step aside and wait."

"Come on, Sasuke!"

Naruto rubbed his nose with his thumb and said excitedly, "Same as before, only the winner can challenge Shiki!"

"..."

Oil Girl Zhihui twitched the corner of her mouth.

What does this have to do with me?

You are an Asura and an Indra, your love and hatred spanning thousands of years.

This makes it sound like I'm the third party who interfered in the relationship.

"You and Zhihui will both be defeated by me."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

The Uchiha clan has always been adept at trash-talking.

"Ready!"

Genma Shiranui interrupted their conversation.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki distanced themselves and formed opposing hand seals.

"start!"

After speaking, Genma Shiranui stepped back.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Naruto Uzumaki took a step forward and charged forward, kicking out just before reaching Sasuke Uchiha.

With a bang.

He kicked the stake.

It's a substitution technique.

The next second, a scorching heat came from behind him.

A huge fireball suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Wow! It's so hot!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly dodged.

Lightning Release: Swift Arrow!

Sasuke Uchiha raised his hand expressionlessly.

Multiple arrow-shaped white lightning bolts chased after Naruto Uzumaki.

"Aaaaaah!"

Although Naruto's speed was already fast enough, the speed of lightning was not slow either.

Caught off guard, he was shot in the knee by an arrow.

What followed was the clanging sound of metal.

That's the weight of the iron block.

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed slightly, and he asked with displeasure, "Naruto, are you underestimating me?"

"Excuse me."

Naruto scratched his head and said, "I forgot."

As he spoke, he untied the weights from his body and landed on the ground, slamming his feet into deep craters.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyelid twitched.

Damn it!

Just how heavy is it?

"Let's start over."

Naruto jumped up and down twice, feeling a sense of relief throughout his body.

A prelude to a powerful performance!

His body exploded with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and with a leap, he delivered a flying kick to Sasuke Uchiha.

A gust of wind howled in.

Sasuke Uchiha's hair all flowed backward.

What a great speed!

But it still couldn't escape the Sharingan's detection.

Shadow Dance Leaf!

Sasuke Uchiha snorted and used a taijutsu technique copied from Rock Lee.

Because this is a particularly suitable time for Shadow Dance Leaf.

It's a low kick.

Sasuke Uchiha bent forward, dodging Naruto Uzumaki's flying kick, and at the same time, landed a direct kick on Naruto's stomach.

"what!"

Naruto screamed as he was kicked into the air.

Lion's barrage!

Sasuke Uchiha chased after Naruto Uzumaki, kicking him repeatedly with both legs, and finally slammed him into the ground.

boom!

Dust flew everywhere.

Naruto Uzumaki slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Your physical skills are nothing special."

Sasuke Uchiha snorted and said, "Your actions are completely exposed before my eyes."

In the audience seats not far away, the teachers leading the teams sat together.

"How did Sasuke get so much stronger?"

Kurenai asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's Kakashi's doing."

Sarutobi Asuma saw through the trick and said, "Sasuke has completely mastered the correct way to use the Sharingan."

"As expected of Kakashi!"

Might Guy remarked with a sigh, "In just one month, Sasuke's taijutsu has already caught up with Naruto's."

"Catching up is not necessarily possible."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "Let Naruto untie the restraints."

Rock Lee has already learned the Eight Gates, so there's no reason why Naruto Uzumaki, who learned it a few years earlier, hadn't.

"You really know me."

Might Guy gave a thumbs up and said, "Naruto! Shine brightly, youth!"

Two-in-one.
