Chapter Twenty-Three: One Month

Sakura Haruno was in the room until Bud Haruno called her to eat.

At the dinner table, Sakura Haruno answered some of her parents' questions selectively, and in general, she didn't say good or bad.

After they had all asked about it, Sakura Haruno spoke, "I also have something to say to you about the Shinobi exam. ”

"How?" Haruno Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Dad, have you heard of Orochimaru?" Sakura Haruno thought for a moment and asked.

"Orochimaru?!" Haruno Zhao was taken aback and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

He still heard the name of Orochimaru when he was a child, one of the legendary three ninjas, the hero of Konoha at that time.

But he later betrayed Konoha and disappeared from public view, supposedly because of human experimentation.

Haruno Sakura briefly said what happened in the Forest of Death, and finally concluded: "In short, it appeared in the middle ninja exam, and it is estimated that something will happen in the middle ninja exam this time, so you don't go to see it then, stay at home, and I will come back if something happens." ”

Although it is not said in the original book that Haruno's parents are haunted and have an accident, it's good to be careful.

"Huh? You're going to be fine, right? Haruno asked worriedly.

"We have a bunch of Shangnin teachers to protect us, it will be fine, rest assured." Sakura Haruno explained.

"Sakura-chan, could it be that you're thinking too much?" Haruno asked with a frown.

"I don't know, but it's good to be more prepared." Sakura Haruno shook her head and said, "I won't go out for the past month, and I'm preparing for the shinobi exam at home. ”

Haruno Zhao looked at Sakura Haruno and suddenly laughed and said, "Sakura has grown up." ”

Sakura Haruno glanced at him and said, "To be a ninja is to grow up faster." ”

"Sakura-chan......" Haruno Meibuki hesitated to say something.

"I don't blame you, besides, I chose to be a ninja in the first place, and it's good to be a ninja now." Sakura Haruno said with a wave of her hand.

Then, the three of them sat and chatted for a while, and Sakura Haruno helped clean up the tableware or something before going back to the room to continue.

This time, Sakura Haruno expanded the cube space of the Shadow Space a little bit and used it to practice my Flowing Ninja Method.

In this way, Sakura Haruno stayed in the shadow space day and night to practice my flow ninja technique and body technique, and carried out a month-long special training.

During this period, in order to improve her training speed, she still used a shadow clone, and used the characteristics of the shadow clone to cultivate. However, she can only use a shadow clone to cultivate, and she can't stand it if she has more.

During her training, she used her shadow clone to send a message to Naruto, suggesting that he could use her shadow clone to speed up the gradual speed, which Naruto was very happy about.

At the same time, she also asked about Sasuke's movements, and unsurprisingly, Sasuke was taken by Kakashi to practice alone, and Naruto recently followed a white-haired uncle to practice.

Sakura Haruno knew that it was Jiraiya, so she didn't say anything, just told him to practice hard.

Returning to her own side, she discovered something in the process of cultivation.

As her physical skills improved, her Shadow Ninja seemed to have increased in strength.

In the past, Shadow Ninja, like a fool, would only rush up with a knife and slash, without any technical content, and basically disappeared when someone picked up the knife and fell.

But after a few days of physical cultivation, Sakura Haruno found that Shadow Ninja's physical strength seemed to have improved according to her strength, and I don't know if it was because she combined the principle of shadow clone in Shadow Ninja.

After discovering this phenomenon, Sakura Haruno expanded the cube space in the shadow space a little further, and then began to fight ten Shadow Ninjas at a time, and in general made rapid progress.

At the same time, she is also using the shadow clone to practice some of the tricks in the shadow scroll, after all, shadow energy is the foundation, although this month is a special training in physical arts, but she can't leave behind the cultivation of shadow energy.

In this way, Sakura Haruno stayed in the dark shadow space all day to practice, and a month passed quickly.

A month later, Sakura Haruno finished her practice one day early, took a good shower and got a good night's sleep, and the next day she packed up and prepared to leave for the third exam.

Before leaving, Sakura Haruno told the Haruno couple to pay attention to the movement outside at any time, and go to the air-raid shelter immediately if something happens, don't hesitate.

At the same time, she injected a little shadow energy into the shadows of the two of them so that she could support them at any time.

After arranging it, Sakura Haruno set off towards the third exam venue.

On the way, Sakura Haruno went to the flower shop of the Ino family, and was about to call her to go with her, but found that it was closed, so she should have gone first.

Sakura Haruno, who couldn't find Ino's flirtatation, had to go alone, but when she arrived at the door of the venue, she was the second.

The first one was Ning Ci, who was standing at the door waiting with a cold face.

"Yo, genius." Sakura Haruno smiled and raised her hand to say hello, Ning Ci was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned cold.

"What do you want to do?" Ning Ci asked coldly. In his heart, Sakura Haruno's name for him was a naked provocation, after all, he had beaten his classmates in front of Sakura Haruno a month ago.

"Say hello, it's not allowed." Sakura Haruno said casually.

"Hmph." Ning Ci snorted coldly and turned his head.

"You fight Naruto?" Sakura Haruno thought for a moment and asked.

Ning Ci glanced at her and said, "That's right." ”

"Then you have to be careful, Kakashi-sensei commented that I was the strongest shinobi in this class, and Naruto was my little brother, so I was the second in this class, so there was no reason why I couldn't beat you." Sakura Haruno said with a smile.

Ning Ci was furious when he heard this, turned around, faced Haruno Sakura, and sneered: "I heard that guy is just a crane tail, I will teach him a painful lesson." ”

"Really?" Sakura Haruno looked at him with a smile and said, "Then let's make a bet?" ”

Ning Ci looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

"If Naruto wins, you'll give me your forehead guard and put it around my neck." Sakura Haruno said softly with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Syllable!

Sakura Haruno grabbed the fist that Ning Ji hit, and a scythe appeared out of thin air with her other hand, and swung her backhand at Ning Ci's neck, Ning Ci bent down to dodge, and raised two fingers with her other hand, pointing at Sakura Haruno's lower abdomen.

Haruno Sakura scythe swung over Ning Ci's head, he didn't care about Ning Ci's offensive at all, he pulled the scythe back, Ning Ci didn't dodge, and definitely cut off half of his head!

Ning Ci couldn't, his hand struggled to break free from Haruno Sakura's grasp, flashed sideways, and jumped to the side.

Sakura Haruno didn't chase either, just withdrew the scythe, holding the string at the end of the scythe and flicking it gently.

Ning Ci opened his eyes and looked at Sakura Haruno coldly.

"Heh, the bet is your acquiescence, and you beat people before you say the conditions, what, is this the so-called Konoha Famous Family? Or is this the temperament of the Hyuga family? Sakura Haruno said with a mocking expression.

When Ning Ci heard this, his face became more and more cold, he slowly bent over, took a step back with his right foot, and made a standard gossip palm gesture.

"That's it." A big hand grabbed Ning Ci's wrist and said in a deep voice.

Sakura Haruno raised her eyes and saw that it was Maitkai, was this here to save the scene?

Ning Ci glanced at Kai, and just as the door was also open at this time, he slowly stood up, looked at Haruno Sakura coldly, and said, "My condition is that I win, and I want you to kneel down for me." ”

"Yes, I promise you." Sakura Haruno said with a smile. Anyway, she wasn't afraid of losing, in case Naruto lost by then, and Ning Ji dared to tell her to kneel, she would break Ning Ji's leg.

"Humph!" Ning Ci shook off Kai's hand and walked in through the gate with a cold face.

Sakura Haruno glanced at Ning Ji's back, pursed her lips, and turned back to Kai and said, "Thank you, Kai-sensei." ”

I don't know if it's right, but it's not wrong.

"Sakura, why are you doing this?" Kai asked with a calm face.

"As the eldest brother, do you need a reason to provoke the enemy for the younger brother?" Sakura Haruno asked with a smile.

"Do you know what that kid's forehead means?" Kai was a little angry, but he still suppressed his voice and said, he still has some understanding of Ning Ci.

"Because nothing has anything to do with me, I just know that he looks down on people from above and is very bad, and he thinks he is just a genius." Sakura Haruno's face also sank, and she didn't give Kai face.

"Ningji, he is a recognized genius in Konoha, and even the strongest Uchiha Sasuke of your class will not be his opponent." Kai retorted that he never denied Ninji's talent.

"Nakai-sensei, does he think he can beat Naruto?" Sakura Haruno asked.

"Ning Ci won't lose." Kai is very confident in his disciples, although Ning Ci has a little problem in his heart, but his strength is indeed not weak.

"You see, Kai-sensei, you, like most people, don't see Naruto's progress. You always think that he is just lucky, you know, he relied on his own strength to fight this last game step by step. Sakura Haruno chuckled, turned around, and said as she walked, "If this match can be opened, I'll go all out against Naruto." ”

Immediately, she didn't stop any longer, and walked straight into the arena, facing the audience on the high platform in all directions.

Kai stood at the door for a while, his face cloudy, not that he was still angry, but he didn't understand why Sakura Haruno was so sure.

"Yo, Kai, it's so early." Kakashi leaned against the door at some point, greeting him while watching the intimacy heaven.

"Kakashi, you're here a long time ago." Kai wasn't in the mood to joke with Kakashi right now.

"yes." Kakashi replied casually, then glanced up behind Kai and said, "Don't get in the way, let's talk in another place." ”

Kai glanced back and saw that it was the Aro trio who had come, and the two of them disappeared in place.

On one rooftop, Kakashi and Kai stopped.

"Kakashi, that Sakura-chan, is it really strong?" Kai asked, frowning.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "No, to be honest, the strength is average. ”

"Then why?" Kai was a little surprised, where did Sakura Haruno get the confidence to say that kind of thing, as for why Kakashi advertised Sakura Haruno as the strongest shinobi, he could understand a thing or two.

"Well, probably, it's brotherhood." Kakashi scratched his head, he didn't really understand it either.

"But that's too much, isn't it?" Kai frowned.

"How to put it, although that kid is usually a little short-tempered, but he still speaks very reliably, she said that Naruto will win, maybe Naruto will really win." Kakashi closed the book, looked up at Kai, and said with some seriousness.

"Huh?" Kai was a little stupid, Naruto's performance a month ago he saw in his eyes, what did he win?

"Well, it looks like it's about to start, just go and see." Kakashi glanced in the direction of the arena.

Kai's eyes were a little complicated, and then he regained his usual vitality, grinned, and said, "I want to see what kind of magic that Naruto has!" ”
