Chapter 14: The Long Wait

“…… Nine-Tails imp? ”

After seeing the face of the yellow-haired boy in the surveillance, Mitarai Red Bean and the two shadows glanced at each other.

A lot of information that is hidden from the lower layers is nothing more than a papier-mâché window screen that can be broken at the slightest stab.

The existence of human pillar power is already a tacit existence for ninjas whose strength has reached a certain level.

"I'll be in charge of this for the time being." Mitarai Azuki said.

To be honest, the master-apprentice relationship with Orochimaru had already made her situation in Konoha a little embarrassing, and for the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, she should try to avoid it if she can.

This is a good thing for her and for the high-level people in charge of Konoha.

But there are some things that you can't avoid if you want to.

Her current identity is the chief examiner, so she should take over this matter and try to hide the information of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force to avoid being known about its existence by the ninjas of other villages.

"It's not just them, please be patient and read it." The invigilator shook his head and adjusted the machine to make the picture on the screen play at double speed.

The numbers in the upper right corner of the screen jump rapidly.

After a few seconds, the beating number suddenly slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared in the surveillance screen, which were none other than Sha Yin's three-person team.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Interesting......"

……

"Look, it's the three sand ninja that day." Izuno's head lifted slightly.

Naruto followed her line of sight, and it was the Sand Hidden Team that had clashed with the Seventh Class not long ago.

Under the stands, the three siblings of the Sand Hidden Team also noticed them.

"Konoha bastards aren't going through the back door, are they?" Kankuro snorted softly.

I can't help but think so, the strength of his Temari has long exceeded the level of the lower ninja, and the monster of my Ai Luo is even more ordinary than the upper ninja dare not touch its edge.

Able to complete the exam in front of a squad of their strength......

"Kankuro, shut up!" I, who was at the front of the line, suddenly shouted.

Like a mouse seeing a cat, Kankuro shuddered and immediately shut up.

Temari followed my gaze, and a boy dressed in black pants and gray with short yellow hair came into view.

[Pretty good-looking......] she thought to herself.

Due to the influence of the perennial wind and sand weather in Shayin Village, the white and clean handsome guy cannot be said to be no, but can only be said to be close to extinction.

[But I can show this kind of expression, what is the origin of the guy opposite? 】

Naruto quietly stared at the gourd child below, and when he learned his identity from the Nine-Tails, he understood why the child had developed a Shura-like aura at such a young age.

They are both pillars, of the same age, and are treated equally.

No one knows each other better than they do.

Apathy, scolding, turning a blind eye......

Such a life is not a day or two, but day after day, year after year.

But there are some differences.

He had the experience of being a human being in three lives, especially the suffering of the second life, and he had his own way of dealing with these things.

And the gourd child is different.

He's just a blank sheet of paper, a white sheet of paper that doesn't stain ink.

He was no different from any other child.

But his parents, relatives, and fellow villagers helped him dye Shura's red.

"Hmm!" I Elo suddenly covered his forehead and gasped for air, his wheezing sound mixed with a faint roar.

"What's going on? Is it awake? Temari and Kankuro's faces changed, and they hurriedly pushed them aside.

【Damn! How is it at this time! 】

Temari gritted his silver teeth secretly, looked at his younger brother who was in trouble, and blamed himself deeply.

Her sister, is really a failure, watching her younger brother fall into the quagmire, but she can't do anything about it.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

The movement was so loud, how could the three of them not see it.

Naruto's heart sank into the mental space, looked at the Nine-Tails who was squatting up, and asked:

"What's the situation?"

"Cut! Tanuki is still so grumpy. Nine-Tails scoffed.

"One tail?" Naruto raised an eyebrow, "What does it look like?" ”

To be honest, he was actually quite curious about the appearance of the other tailed beasts.

Because the title "One Tail" always makes him involuntarily imagine in his mind the appearance of nine tails cutting off eight tails.

"Tanuki looks." Nine-Tails slowly leaned down, and judging from the corners of his faintly curled mouth, he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Huh?" Naruto magnified the tanuki's size to the same extent as the Nine-Tails in his mind, and after a moment, he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

This mess feels ......

"Can I say a word to it?" Naruto asked, judging from the situation just now, there should be an unknown way of communication between the tailed beasts.

"He's disconnected." Nine-Tails' tone seemed to be taken for granted, as if a 'non-stop line' was an abnormal performance.

“???” Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails in front of him in surprise, I didn't expect to see you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but your heart is so bad.

[Isn't it possible that there is also 'bullying' inside the tailed beast......]

[Hey, I didn't expect that the one who lives in my body is still a 'big brother'......]

Suddenly, Naruto only felt that he had realized, and looked at the big fox in front of him, and there was no longer the mystery of the past.

From this point of view, tailed beasts and humans don't seem to be much different.

"He's not going to retire because of that, hehe......" Kaminari speculated maliciously.

This is the presence that can remind Naruto, it can cause him too much pressure these days.

"No, just take a break." Naruto shook his head slightly, puncturing his unrealistic illusions.

There is a high probability that the gourd imp was injured by a riot by Ichio.

"Really......" Kaminarimon smacked his mouth in disappointment.

"Instead of thinking about what you don't have, let's rest well and prepare for tomorrow's third exam." Naruto said, walking to the side of the clearing and slowly sitting down, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The second exam lasts two days.

And now, less than two hours have passed since the start of the exam.

Forest of Death.

Rumble!

"Sakai!" Looking at her teammates who disappeared into Orchi's mouth, Sakura's face changed dramatically.

"Run!"

On the trunk of a tree not far away, Sasuke looked at the molting man in front of him with a solemn face.

"But ......" Sakura looked at Sasuke's back, and stopped talking.

"It's just a burden for you to stay here!" Sasuke's roaring voice was a little hideous.

[Damn, if that guy was here, wouldn't the situation be better......]

For some reason, in a desperate situation, Sasuke's mind involuntarily conjured up Naruto's figure.

"Hehe, you're the only one left, Sasuke." Yu Ren slowly tore off the leather on his face, revealing an extremely feminine face, spitting out a long tongue like a snake, and said with interest.

As for Sakura, who wasn't far away, neither of them apparently saw it as a usable fighting force.

"Are you ready?"

The moment the words fell, a murderous aura burst out from the man's body.

The murderous spirit is invisible, but the person is tangible.

Sasuke, who was wrapped in murderous aura, only felt as if his heart was being held by a cold palm, and his stiff body could only stand in place in a daze, no matter how hard he exerted.

"Ahh

Sakura felt that she wanted to step forward to help Sasuke, but the python that had just swallowed Sakai suddenly turned its head and attacked her with a terrifying might.

"Ah!!h

Sakura only had time to let out a scream before disappearing into the snake's mouth.
