Narration system starting from Konoha

Countless narrations echoed in front of the gate.

Who is this idiot? He has no manners at all, all he does is yell and shout.

Are all Konoha ninjas this stupid? It seems this Chunin Exams are too easy.

[A bunch of little brats came to participate in the Chunin Exams. I really want to slit their throats and watch them die.]

Sakura shuddered. Is this the Chunin Exams? It's kind of scary.

Kong chuckled and said, "Don't worry about them. They're all nobody, ugly and pathetic, obviously cannon fodder... um."

Sakura quickly covered Kong's mouth and said with a smile to everyone around, "Don't pay any attention to him, he's a little mentally unstable."

Sakura was terrified; they had just graduated this year.

Sasuke scoffed, agreeing with Sora's assessment that Sakura's behavior had completely disgraced Team 7.

Sakura wanted to apologize, but seeing Sasuke walking away, she ultimately lacked the courage.

"It's over, Sakura. Sasuke underestimated us. Team 7 is still very strong. Most of the time, normal genin do simple D-rank missions, but we have fought against strong people."

At the very least, Naruto is confident he can become a Chunin.

Naruto shouted, "Of course! I'm a man who's going to become Hokage, how could I fall for a mere Chunin Exam?"

The three quickly caught up with Sasuke and went into the building to report to the third floor.

"Why won't you let me in? I just want to register."

With his face bruised, Lee Locke shouted as if he had truly been wronged, attracting the attention of most people.

[Ku scoffed. Such terrible acting. These two gatekeepers must be Kotetsu and Izumo Kamui, as the narrator mentioned. I never imagined Konoha had such ugly ninjas.]

[Kong glanced at Rock Lee again, guessing he was probably just some idiot hired from who-knows-where; his acting was too exaggerated, only good enough to fool a fool.]

Although the surrounding figures pretended to have already seen through it, they were actually completely deceived and were filled with hatred for Kong.

[Especially Izumo and Kotetsu, they actually said they were ugly.]

Sasuke looked up and realized it was just a simple genjutsu, something to fool children.

The number 201 on the wall suddenly changed to 301.

"Hmph, what nonsense are you two spouting? One of you says we're ugly, and the other says we're lying to children. Today, we're going to teach you a lesson!" Gangzi Tie said fiercely.

Sora, his face full of disdain, said, "Was it Kakashi who sent you? Kakashi-sensei actually resorting to such a boring trick."

"It was true before, but now I just can't stand the sight of you."

Kong rolled her eyes: "What does this have to do with me? It's all the narrator's words. Don't just attribute the narrator's words to us."

"Kid, I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

A whip kick came flying at once.

Kong didn't move, but a figure moved even faster, appearing in front of Gangzi Tie and blocking the whip kick.

It was Rock Lee.

Rock Lee's speed shocked many people; no one expected that this seemingly ordinary ninja could unleash such speed.

"This is the power of youth. You must be Sakura Haruno."

Rock Lee slowly walked up to Sakura.

Sakura swallowed and nodded.

"I like you, please go out with me."

Kong was speechless. "So direct?" he said. "Hey, there are three men in Class Seven. The only woman in the group has to be dealt with internally."

[For the first time, Sakura actually found Sora quite pleasing to the eye. After all, he liked Sasuke. Could it be that Sora was planning to set her up with Sasuke? The guy in front of her had such thick eyebrows.]

Kong patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and said, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one? I think the girls in your class are pretty too."

Besides, she's clearly gentler than Sakura, so why go to the trouble of looking elsewhere?

Tian Tian blushed instantly. She had initially found Kong quite annoying, but she hadn't expected him to be so eloquent. No one had ever told her she was pretty before.

Sora clicked his tongue twice and said, "So your name is Tenten. I'm Uchiha Sora. I'm unlucky to have two straight men in my class. Please take care of me in the future."

Sakura takes back what she just said. Sora is still so annoying. Doesn't he know who his teammates are?

Sora shook his head: "I am a person who pursues the truth and never lies. I am known as the Konoha's sincere little prince, Sora."

Chapter 45 The Mob

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked like they were about to vomit, and even Neji, who was about to come over to say hello, stopped moving.

Steel Iron and Izumo Kamizuki had vanished without a trace at some point.

Kong pursed his lips; it was the same old story, just like always.

The four turned and walked upstairs.

Just as I reached the third-floor lobby, Xiao Li's voice came from behind me.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Li ran over.

Sora chuckled and said, "Is your youth starting to burn again? Are you planning to confess to Sakura?"

Sakura was struck dumb and shouted, "I don't want to be with you! I only like Sasuke! Your eyebrows are too thick!"

Rock Lee's sharp eyes immediately turned to Sasuke.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I challenge you. I heard you're the top student in your class."

Sasuke frowned. It was that silly kid from before. Perfect, a warm-up before the exam.

Kongdao said, "Erzhuzi, don't underestimate him. Little Lee is a pure taijutsu ninja. If you can't keep up with his speed, you'll only get beaten up."

Sasuke snorted coldly, looking down on his younger brother. He thought his brother only boosted others' morale and diminished his own. Sasuke was a genius of the Uchiha clan; why would he be afraid of a ninja who appeared out of nowhere?

Kong was speechless, but Sasuke often sparred with him and learned a lot of his underhanded tricks, so the fight shouldn't be too bad.

Sakura kept a close eye on Rock Lee; if he dared to touch Sasuke, she would kill him.

Xiao Li immediately felt a chilling killing intent. Following the killing intent, he met Xiao Ying's devilish gaze.

I shivered involuntarily.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions, Xiao Li's expression became serious.

Kongdao: "The exam is approaching, so we'd better finish quickly."

Sasuke nodded, then leaped into the air, unleashing three kunai that flew out from the left, right, and forward, heading straight for Rock Lee.

At the same time, he activated his Sharingan and stared intently at Lee.

"Shh."

In an instant, Lee vanished from his spot, and without thinking, Sasuke reached behind him with one hand.

Sasuke had already grasped the essence of Kong's fighting style: when unable to find someone, immediately turning back is the best counterattack to prevent the enemy from sneaking up from behind.

Sasuke's hand just touched something soft, then it disappeared, followed by a whooshing sound—Rock Lee's whip kick.

"Such speed!" That was the only thought in Sasuke's mind. A kunai instantly appeared in his hand, and he thrust it towards the whip kick.

If Rock Lee continues to kick, the kunai will pierce the opponent's shin.

"Boom."

With a quick adjustment of direction, the whip kick propelled Sasuke upwards from below, leaving him completely bewildered.

[Little Lee was somewhat excited. As expected of the Uchiha clan, it seems the Lotus of Konoha will bloom once again today.]

The bandages fell to the ground instantly, and a shuriken was launched from his empty hand, pinning the bandages to the wall.

“Little Lee, Lotus Flower isn’t a technique used against fellow villagers.” Sora quietly caught Sasuke.

Xiao Li nodded and quickly said, "I was impulsive. Teacher Kai also said that you can't use the Lotus Flower move when facing your own teammates."

To make up for today's mistake, I've decided to run 500 laps around the track.

Kong shook his head and said, "Registration is about to start, let's wait until after the exam to go, it's too late now."

Xiao Li suddenly realized what was happening and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Now you know, there are always people stronger than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Not all genin are just a bunch of rabble; there are a few strong ones among them."

Sasuke was furious. He'd been lectured by Ku again—Ku was his older brother!

The enraged Sasuke completely ignored Rock Lee, because in his view, Rock Lee was only able to beat him because he was a year older than him; once he turned thirteen, beating Rock Lee would be a piece of cake.

Speechless, it's hard to say whether Sasuke will still be in Konoha a year from now.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left, don't get stuck outside the registration area."

The four walked through the hall and immediately spotted Kakashi guarding outside.

Kakashi looked pleased and said, "You didn't disappoint me, all four of you came."

Sora said, "If one of them doesn't come, they'll all be eliminated. The narrator made that clear yesterday, so how could they not come? On the other hand, Kakashi-sensei's program was full of flaws, which the narrator exposed long ago."

Kakashi was somewhat embarrassed. Why did this kid, Sora, expose his shortcomings the moment he showed up? He was, after all, a Jonin instructor.

"Go in. Do your best from now on. I believe in you. I've seen your progress these past few days. I'll celebrate with you after the Chunin Exams."

Naruto laughed heartily, "Is it to celebrate us becoming Chunin? Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei, it definitely will be."

Naruto's ideas were wonderful, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he didn't become a Chunin even after getting married.

The scene fell silent instantly, and even Kakashi, who had always been optimistic about Naruto, had a strange look in his eyes.

Sakura burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, and patted Naruto's shoulder hard, saying, "Poor Naruto, when I become a Chunin, I'll transfer you to my team and make sure no one bullies you."

Sasuke felt a little embarrassed, considering he had always considered Naruto his rival, only to find out that Naruto was just an insignificant genin.

"The narrator is just talking nonsense. How could I possibly be a genin forever? You must be mistaken. I, Naruto Uzumaki, am very strong."

There is no necessary connection between being a genin and becoming Hokage.
