"Bang lah... Boom..."

In the forest of death, which was covered with poisonous miasma, there was a slight noise among the bushes under the towering trees.

"Poof..."

Suddenly, a figure poked out of it, a little embarrassed on his face.

"Don't worry, there's nothing unusual ahead..."

I saw a smile on his face, and he didn't care about some of the leaves on his face, and said to his back in a somewhat excited voice.

As his words fell, gradually, three other figures slowly poked out of the bushes.

"Oh, you haven't been so active in normal Naruto!"

The cherry blossom-haired girl who appeared here from behind looked at the young man in front of her who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but pout slightly and muttered in a low voice.

Behind her, there was a beautiful black-haired girl who looked like an elf.

If there's one regret, it's probably the ninja uniform she wears.

Although the ninja uniform does not match her delicate face, it still makes people look good and feel different when they wear it on her body.

I saw Sakura turn her head slightly to look at the girl, her eyes worried.

"Suiyue, it's good that you follow me. ”

"Take it easy, even if we get close to the tower, as long as we don't expose our bodies on it, no one will be able to spot us. ”

Hearing Sakura's words, Mizuki nodded her little head slightly, and the beautiful appearance on her fair little face was really pitiful.

Naruto, who was on the side, hurriedly came over and boasted.

"Don't worry, Shui Yue, I will definitely lead the way in front, and I promise that no one will find our traces, you just need to follow us with peace of mind!"

Hearing his words, Shui Yue looked up at him hesitantly, then nodded lightly and hummed softly.

Just such a small gesture made Naruto forget the pain he had suffered when he explored the bushes before, and he couldn't help but be full of motivation again.

Sasuke, who was on the side, just had a calm face and didn't say much.

Due to her proximity to the tower, Sakura guesses that someone might be hiding in her surroundings and preparing to attack the ninja team here.

Although they were not afraid of encountering other candidates, because they were carrying the water moon, in order to avoid getting into a fight, they still chose a safe way and chose to pass through the thorny bushes below.

Of course, such a difficult task was naturally handed over to Naruto.

Because of his good impression of Suizuki, Naruto was also tired of it and gladly accepted this hard work.

At this time, I saw that among the group, Sasuke raised his head lightly and ignored everyone.

A few jumped to the height of the tree trunk, squinted slightly and glanced at the tower that could be seen in the distance, and then fell to the ground and whispered.

"If we look at this distance, we will probably only need to travel half a day to reach our destination."

As he said this, he glanced at Shui Yue, hesitated, and asked in a deep voice.

"Suizuki, are you sure you're just here to take a look, not to participate in the next competition?"

Hearing Sasuke's words, everyone, including Mizuki, was slightly stunned.

Naruto, who already had some opinions about Sasuke's unauthorized action just now, couldn't help but look at him with a frown and said dissatisfied.

"Hey, Sasuke, what does it matter if Mizuki takes the next exam, this exam is the promotion path to become a middle ninja, do you want to watch her ....."

Before he could finish his words, he was glared at by Sasuke coldly, and his words stopped abruptly.

I saw Sasuke looking at him and said coldly.

"Idiot, don't you know what went wrong with this exam!?"

Hearing this, Naruto also instantly remembered what Sasuke and the examiner had said before, and couldn't help but look at it with a little apologetic glance at Mizuki, and sneered.

"That's true... That one... Water Moon.. If you're not in a hurry, let's wait for the next Nainin exam..."

Sakura also instantly understood what Sasuke meant, and looked at Mizuki in agreement.

Hearing their words, Shui Yue was slightly stunned for a moment, and then the fair little face couldn't help but show a smile and said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to take a look, and I really don't want to continue the exam..."

Hearing her answer, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Not for fear of one more competitor, but without knowing what form the exam will take next.

Worried that this beautiful girl as beautiful as an elf in front of them would encounter that terrible group of murderous perverts, if that was the case, they would definitely feel sad.

Because... Beautiful things are always moving....

At this time, after feeling the concern of Naruto and the others, Mizuki also let go of his previous restraint and vigilance, and relaxed slightly.

When several people saw the delicate smile on her face like the melting of winter snow, they were stunned for a moment.

"Thank you for your concern, it's such an amazing feeling to be with you, it seems like I haven't felt it in a long time..."

I saw a clear smile on Mizuki's face, looking at Naruto and the others, and said softly in a crisp voice.

Hearing her words, Naruto couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then looked at her and wondered.

"Could it be that Suigetsu, your former companion treated you badly?"

Hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but push him with her arm, signaling him to pay attention to what he said, Naruto also reacted, and couldn't help but quickly touch his head and apologize.

"I'm sorry, Mizuki... I just said the wrong thing..."

In this regard, Shui Yue shook her little head slightly, looked at him with a smile, and said in a crisp voice.

"It doesn't matter, my former companion was very kind to me..."

"No... It's not so much a companion as it is..."

Mizuki didn't say anything after that, but just smiled shyly, and the happy smile on the corner of his mouth made Naruto look dumbfounded.

Sakura, who is also a girl, glanced at Mizuki thoughtfully, then breathed a sigh of relief and quietly glanced at Sasuke beside her.

At this moment, Sasuke said softly.

"Let's get ready to go, after all, what may not happen later, and it is safe to arrive at our destination early. ”

Hearing his words, Naruto couldn't help but wrinkle his face, and he didn't have a chance to ask Mizuki what the unspoken sentence was.

Several people couldn't help but slowly continue to burrow into the bushes, heading towards the tall tower in the distance.

And without everyone noticing, I saw that the corners of Shui Yue's mouth were slightly hooked with an unknown smile, her eyes glanced slightly in the direction of a distance, and her slender palm swayed slightly.
