Three days passed in a flash.
During these three days, a large number of unfamiliar faces appeared on the streets of Konoha.
There are many such unfamiliar faces at ordinary times, but they are all ordinary people from outside.
And the unfamiliar faces that appeared now, they all wore forehead protectors engraved with various patterns, obviously they were all ninjas from different ninja villages.
In this regard, the villagers of Konoha were not panicked, but very excited.
The sudden arrival of so many ninjas from other villages means that this year's Chunin Exam is coming again, and soon, they will be able to enjoy the ninja showdown again.
Especially those shop owners, they have already started to stock up, preparing to make a quick buck when the time comes.
This is the Chunin Exam, no matter which big ninja village it is held in, it is one of the most grand events.
July 1st, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The eighth team gathered at the old place on time and went to the ninja school with the application form.
On the way, Aburame Shino put his hands in his pockets and said, "Konoha is the organizer, and our situation is a bit passive. There should be many people investigating our intelligence during this period, but we know nothing about them."
"It doesn't matter, the information will be updated, and the information they have investigated is outdated." Izayoi chuckled, "I believe you must have grown during this period."
Hearing this, Hinata and Aburame Shino both smiled confidently.
Soon, Team 8 arrived at the Ninja School.
After several months, Izayoi and Hinata stepped into the campus again. The look of both was a little dazed.
Walking on the familiar road, their eyes seemed to travel through time and saw the reflection of the past few years.
From a toddler with a face full of baby fat to a child who had lost a little of his childishness...
At that time, Izayoi and Hinata also walked side by side like this, inseparable.
Thinking of this, Izayoi and Hinata subconsciously looked at each other. After looking at each other, they seemed to guess what the other was thinking, and couldn't help but smile tacitly.
Arriving at the familiar complex building, the expressions of Shino Aburame and Hinata changed slightly as soon as Team 8 stepped onto the first step.
"This is... an illusion." Shino Aburame made a seal with both hands, disrupting the flow of chakra in his body.
Hinata did the same as him.
"To be precise, it's an illusion barrier." Izayoi smiled, "It seems that the Chunin Exam has already begun."
Going up to the second floor, the three saw that the corridor was full of people, some of whom looked dazed and confused.
Some people seemed to realize something and blocked the stairs to the third floor, but unfortunately they were stopped by the two Chunins in charge of guarding the door.
"Hurry up and remove this illusion barrier, we are going to the third floor."
Team 8 heard a familiar voice before they reached the stairs.
"It's Sasuke-kun."
Hinata said the name of the person who spoke the voice, but her eyes were looking at a bystander in the crowd, and she said softly: "And Brother Neji, he is also here to take the Chunin Exam."
As if hearing Hinata's voice, Hyuga Neji, who was watching Team 7's performance, turned his head and looked over.
Seeing that it was Hinata, he immediately walked over, bowed expressionlessly and said, "Miss Hinata."
His manners were in place, but his tone was not respectful at all. Even when he bowed his head, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Good luck on the exam, brother Neji." Hinata said softly.
"Miss too." Hyuga Neji quickly calmed down, stood up and nodded, saying, "I hope I can fight you during the Chunin Exam."
After saying that, Hyuga Neji looked at Izayoi who was next to Hinata and said, "Are you Izayoi?"
"What can I do for you? The top student of the previous class." Izayoi smiled.
"...You are very strong."
Hyuga Neji looked Izayoi up and down, first gave such an evaluation, and then said coldly: "But you should have self-knowledge. There is no hope for you and the young lady. This is the difference in blood, and it is also your destiny."
"Brother Ningji, shut up."
Before Izayoi could speak, a somewhat cold voice was heard.
Hinata's eyes were no longer gentle, but looked at Hyuga Neji fiercely, full of warnings.
The whole person's aura also changed greatly.
"Excuse me, young lady."
Hyuga Neji bowed to apologize, then turned and left.
Watching her cousin leave, Hinata returned to her ladylike appearance and said softly to Izayoi: "Izayoi-kun, Brother Ningji didn't mean it, please don't blame him."
Putting one hand on Hinata's head, Izayoi touched Hinata's head and praised: "Hinata, you looked very beautiful just now! It's a pity that I didn't take out the camera in time just now."
"Indeed, the aura just now was full of oppression." Aburame Shino nodded in agreement.
As expected, none of the top three in the grade has an easy time.
This Chunin Exam may show the full strength of Izayoi, Hinata, and Uchiha Sasuke.
"No way, you're too kind."
Hinata blushed and lowered her head, and tapped her index fingers with both hands. The contrast was huge.
If you didn't know, you would think she was the one with a dual personality, not Haruno Sakura.
"Hey... Izayoi, Hinata, and that guy, you're here!"
At this time, Uzumaki Naruto's voice came into his ears.
I saw that the seventh team, which had ended the interlude, was walking towards the eighth team.
"My name is Aburame Shino."
Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto didn't read out her name, Aburame Shino couldn't help but emphasize his presence.
"Oh, Shino, hello."
However, as always, Aburame Shino's emphasis was still fruitless.
Uzumaki Naruto just greeted him, and his eyes were focused on Izayoi. He grinned and said, "Izayoi, you guys are here to take part in the Chunin Exam as expected. I won't lose to you this time!"
"Oh?"
Izayoi also became interested and said, "Looking at your confident look, did you learn ninjutsu from Kakashi Jonin?"
If that's the case, the butterfly effect is really big.
The original work avoided the imbalance of the protagonist's strength, but it caused Hatake Kakashi to be blackened badly.
The copy ninja who mastered thousands of ninjutsu was reluctant to teach even the lowest level C-level wind escape to his teacher's son.
This is when Uzumaki Naruto has already learned to climb trees.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Uzumaki Naruto has already mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. With that huge amount of chakra, even if he only learned a C-level wind escape·Big Breakthrough, his strength is still one of the strongest among the Genin, and the protagonist's inspirational story can't continue.
Hundreds of shadow clones, all using Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, are definitely more powerful than Uchiha Madara's Great Fire Extinguishing.
"Hehe...you and Sasuke just wait and see." Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his nose and said triumphantly, "I will definitely surprise you when the time comes."
"Riddler, get out of Konoha."
Izayoi complained, but attracted Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Uchiha Sasuke's strange looks.
Their eyes seemed to say, how dare you say that about others?
