Forest of Death.

Inside the tower located in the center.

When Naruto and Sasuke's team arrived here, they couldn't help but attract the attention of the various ninja groups who had already arrived here.

Seeing the inside of the hall where there were already quite a few people, Naruto couldn't help but look bitter and muttered.

"Have so many teams arrived here...."

"I thought we were going to be fast..."

Hearing his words, Sakura couldn't help but pat her forehead lightly, glanced at him helplessly, and sighed.

"Naruto, didn't you listen to it!"

"This year's candidates are completely different from previous years, and..."

As she said this, Sakura glanced around and lowered her voice.

"As the son of the Hokage, you will definitely attract attention when you participate in such a competitive exam, it is no longer a matter of what ranking you get, but whether your safety will be threatened because of this!"

Hearing Sakura's words, Naruto's little face couldn't help but show a touch of excitement, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Sakura-chan, are you caring about me when you say that!?"

In this regard, Sakura hurriedly stepped forward with a flushed face and covered Naruto's mouth, and rebuked in embarrassment.

"You idiot, why are you shouting so loudly!"

"And... I'm just expressing my companion's concern, don't think about it!!"

Just as Sakura's words fell, a voice full of fighting spirit suddenly sounded in her ears.

"I knew Sakura-chan you'd be able to get here, but I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Hearing this, both Naruto and Sakura were slightly stunned, and Sakura's head was a little stiff and slowly turned her head to look at the comer.

Dressed in a green bodysuit, thick eyebrows, and a resolute expression on his face, it is Li Rock who once confessed to Sakura!

The moment she saw Xiao Li behind her, Sakura couldn't help but turn a little pale, took a few steps back, and then said in a trembling voice.

"That.. That one.. Xiao Li... Why are you waiting for me..."

Hearing this, Naruto in front of her also stood up, staring at Xiao Li with an unhappy face and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, thick eyebrows, Sakura is mine, you don't have any wrong ideas!!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Almost at the same time, Naruto and Xiao Li were both squatting on the ground with tears in their eyes covering the back of their heads.

Sakura slowly withdrew her fist, which was trembling with anger from Naruto's head.

And behind Xiao Li, a delicate girl wearing a cheongsam also put away a folding fan, bent slightly helplessly, and said to Xiao Sakura.

"I'm so sorry, this idiot on our side must have caused you a lot of trouble..."

Hearing this, Sakura smiled a little awkwardly.

"It's alright..."

The cheongsam girl glanced at Sakura lightly, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and said softly.

"I'm Tiantian, I'm the companion of this idiot, I've been listening to Li Nian talk about you before, it's really beautiful... Sakura..."

Just as she was saying this, Sakura was just about to say thank you, but there was a harsh and crisp voice on the side.

"I don't agree with that, what is this wide forehead so beautiful, it's just a guy who is very ordinary everywhere..."

Hearing this, Sakura-chan couldn't help but have a black hashtag on her forehead, and her face was gloomy!

She didn't even look back, but when she heard this voice, she instantly guessed who was coming, and turned her head back as stiffly as a machine, and the voice gritted her teeth.

"I'm still wondering who it is, but I didn't expect that even Ino, a nymphomaniac, would be able to pass the exam...."

Hearing this, I saw that when I came to Sakura's side, Ino with a beautiful golden ponytail couldn't help but be able to maintain his previous calm smile, staring at Sakura with angry eyes, and said coldly.

"Wide forehead, who are you talking about nymphomaniac!!"

"Who asks me, naturally who is a nymphomaniac, Ino big nymphomaniac, who do you think I'm talking about!?"

"You wide forehead, you say it again!"

"Ino , Ino , I'll not just say it once, I'll say it a few more times, are you satisfied!?"

“....”

On the side, Naruto and Xiao Li, who were originally covering their heads, were stunned to watch the quarrel between the two, and they couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, and said secretly.

Is this a war between girls... It's terrible....

Just when Sakura and Ino were still arguing, Shikamaru and Dingji had already come over to Naruto's side at this time.

Several people greeted each other, and then stayed away from Sakura and Ino who were arguing very tacitly.

"I didn't expect Naruto to be able to get here... It's a bit unexpected...."Shikamaru said with his hands behind his head and a little lazy.

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but glare at him and said dissatisfied.

"Hey, Shikamaru, do you have any doubts about the strength of our group!? You know, it's not what it used to be!"

Hearing this, Shikamaru was slightly silent, and then said slowly.

"No, that's not what it meant..."

"It's just..."

At this, he hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Naruto, his voice very calm.

"Didn't anyone find Naruto and persuade you not to proceed with the next exam!?"

Hearing this, Naruto was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but stare at Shikamaru in surprise.

"How do you know!?"

Seeing Naruto's reaction, Shikamaru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then muttered.

"If this has already happened and no one has informed you of this Hokage, I really think something is going to be wrong..."

After speaking, he glanced at Naruto and said softly.

"It's because there's already a problem with this exam, but what makes me wonder why you didn't opt out of this exam... Naruto?"

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but say with a determined look in his eyes.

"How can I give up halfway, I am about to reach my goal, and I have to carry on this exam no matter what!"

In this regard, Shikamaru couldn't help but pat his head slightly, shook his head helplessly, glanced at Naruto, and muttered.

"I guess the guy who came to persuade you must be very helpless...."

Just as Naruto and Shikamaru were talking.

Not far away, Sasuke, who had been standing near the stone pillar and had always maintained a cold expression on his small face, suddenly shrank his pupils when he glanced at the candidates around him!

His eyes stared at one of the figures not far away, and he was shocked in his heart.

It's that guy!!

And almost at the same time, the figure over there seemed to feel Sasuke's gaze and turned its head to look at him.

After seeing Sasuke's face clearly, the ordinary face was slightly stunned, and then showed a cruel smile at Sasuke.
