At this moment, Starry Night was staring at the seal on the wall in front of him. A series of words were written on it.
Naruto didn't understand the meaning of the words at all."What... what does this mean?」
「……」
Starry Night took out the Heaven and Earth Scrolls from his pocket and threw them on the ground. The others had yet to figure out the situation and were only surprised by Starry Night's sudden action.
White smoke came out of the scroll, and the three of them went into battle mode. Starry Night just stood there. The smoke gradually gathered, and a figure could be seen. As the obstruction disappeared, they could see it clearly.
[I-Teacher Iruka! Why is it you?" Naruto asked.
"Because at the end of the second round of the exam, it was originally our Chuunin who was responsible for welcoming the examinees.」Iruka scratched his head and walked up to them."And I just received the job of conveying your message..."
Starry Night didn't listen to what he said next. Because there was still time, Starry Night had already fallen asleep against the wall when he appeared. Although she looked like she was sleeping, her mind was clear. She kept thinking about what happened in the Forest of Death and the Orochimaru Curse Mark.
[Starry Night!] She opened her eyes slightly and found Naruto looking at her."We passed the exam, why are you sleeping?"」
He glared at him in dissatisfaction and looked at Sasuke and Sakura who were standing on both sides of him.」
[Of course, we're waiting for the other teams to arrive. There are still a few hours left." Naruto wasn't very clear about it, but he pretended to know what he didn't know. This made Starry Night even more unhappy.」
The three of them were speechless.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam.」All the groups that had arrived at the scene. The original 79 people who had taken the exam had been reduced to 22 people.
Starry Night had just woken up and was already a little unhappy to be called over to gather. Moreover, the third-generation successor kept talking about things that she was too lazy to listen to.
How boring…
He felt a sharp gaze that seemed to be seen through. He turned to look at the group of ninja teachers until the figure appeared in his line of sight. When he met that gaze, he was suddenly stunned. He avoided it in disgust and stood back in his position.
After the third-generation successor explained the true purpose of the third round of the exam, Moonlight Gale appeared in front of everyone, which also represented the beginning of the qualifiers.
He turned his head to look at the people at the scene and happened to meet with I Love Luo's eyes. Both of them were very clear about each other's strength. They had understood each other from the first time they met. They had the same attack mode. It should be very exciting to compare!
However, the opponents had to rely on the computer to draw lots.
Suddenly, he thought of someone he had almost forgotten…Medicine Master Dou had not forfeited. Was he planning to play with those weak Genin?
"Alright! My enthusiasm is coming!"
Naruto stood at the front of the team to demonstrate his strength, and Sasuke glared at him."Idiot!」
"Sasuke! You brat, I will definitely win for you.」No matter what Sasuke scolded, Naruto would definitely retort.
[Is that so?] Starry Night narrowed his eyes and looked at him.」
" Well..." Naruto broke out in a cold sweat." Well... as long as it's not compared to Starry Night..."
[Maybe it's just a coincidence.] Did Starry Night want to force Naruto to this point?
[Starry Night, stop talking! Naruto was almost scared to death by you." Sakura stood behind Starry Night to help Naruto out.
"..." She just felt bored.
[Hey!] Sasuke turned to face Starry Night, his voice audible only to the two of them."I really want to have a match with you."」
At first, she was silent, thinking about something, before she silently blurted out,"Ah, I'm looking forward to it."」
[Cough! Cough…Then, the first match will begin immediately. Cough! Cough…Cough! Uchiha Sasuke versus Red Copper Armor, cough! Cough! Cough!" Moonlight Gale's speed was so slow that it felt like he was going to die if he had to finish the whole sentence in one go.
The others had already dispersed. Starry Night had also arrived at the spectator stands and was silently watching the match below.
"Sasuke Uchiha versus Red Bronze Armor, the match begins!」The tense atmosphere gradually emerged, and everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the field.
If we can really compete, I'm looking forward to it. But before that, you have to overcome yourself.
You're still too weak! But it's precisely because of this that you want to become stronger. Isn't this what you've always been pursuing? In order to revive the Uchipo family, and also to defeat Uchiha Weitake…
During the match, Starry Night only watched quietly, including when Orochimaru's curse caused him to act abnormally...
In the end, Sasuke won, and Sakura and Naruto were happy with this result.
However, Naruto also noticed the mark on his neck. Sakura could only try to hide it by not knowing, which made him even more confused. He then asked Starry Night, but she only said," It's so noisy."
Sasuke was exhausted, and in the end, it was Kakashi's support that kept him from falling. He listened to his suggestion and followed Kakashi to the treatment.
" Starry Night, will Sasuke be alright..." Sakura whispered into Starry Night's ear, afraid that Naruto would notice.
Starry Night deliberately glanced at the ninja teacher who was still at the scene, but there was no trace of him.」
[But, what about the competition?] Xiao Ying was afraid that Starry Night might not be able to make it in time.
The current match was between Shino Aoumi and Sakedeng.」With that, before Xiao Ying could react, he disappeared.
[Orochimaru, what are you trying to do?」
Kakashi stood in front of the unconscious Sasuke and stared at the black-haired man.
He had long black hair and exuded a dangerous aura. Furthermore, he was a fugitive ninja who had been sentenced to an S-class traitor. Kakashi could not help but be wary of him.
[You guys should already be very clear. Do you still need me to say it?」Orochimaru's laughter echoed in the air, making one's hair stand on end.
[Damn it!] Just as Kakashi was about to use Thousand Birds, Orochimaru's words stopped him.
[Isn't it boring to just watch from the side?」
Then, a figure walked out from the dark corner. The silver-haired girl was not affected by the murderous aura released by Orochimaru at all.
"Do you think I would be interested in such things?」Starry Night had never been a busybody or a bystander.
[How is that possible? I'm the person who understands you the most in this world! Of course, it was a long time ago…" Orochimaru licked his lips from time to time.
[Shut up.] Seeing him stick out his tongue, she felt disgusted."You can't take him away."」
[Oh? With such confidence, if Sasuke had chosen it himself, what could have stopped him?」
At this moment, Starry Night fell into silence. His sharp gaze had the urge to kill, but it was the gaze that Orochimaru loved the most. He wanted to grasp it in his palm, but it was not that easy.
" I will definitely get you. Don't forget that. Let's forget about it for today. The next time we meet, it'll be when you come to me personally..."
The last words scattered in the surroundings, and the snake's aura gradually disappeared into the air.
Kakashi couldn't see her expression clearly. Thinking about their conversation just now, several possibilities lingered in his mind.」He looked at the silent Starry Night and received no response.
Just as he was about to speak again, she moved. She walked forward and looked at the curse mark on Sasuke's neck. Her tone was so calm that it did not seem like a girl her age would say,"With this seal, it is impossible to stop the power of the curse mark so easily."」
Kakashi was actually very clear about this, but he had no choice but to try. At the very least, he could slow down the speed of the attack.
Starry Night laughed at himself."I actually hesitated."」Immediately, Kakashi hesitated. She lowered her hand that was touching the incantation mark, turned around, and left, saying those words…
[I'm not sure. He won't choose revenge...]
When she returned to the competition venue, she realized that Sakura's match had already begun. Naruto, who was at the side, quickly cheered for her. Only then did she realize that it was Starry Night.
[Starry Night, where have you been? Sakura's match had already started.」
Starry Night looked at the two people who were exhausted from the competition. Although they already knew the result of the tie and elimination, they still had this satisfied expression.
He had once thought that friendship was a fragile thing, and to protect it, he had to be as careful as he was with precious and fragile things. But wasn't that tiring?
All she wanted was a small but strong friendship…
The next match was Shou Ju versus Tian Tian. Starry Night was very clear about Shou Ju's strength. Moreover, in this exam, the person with the highest average strength was Sajin. Hence, Starry Night took her victory for granted.
After skipping a few rounds, the screen of the computer continued to display: Whirlpool Naruto VS Inuga Teeth.
" Fortunately, it's not Starry Night..." Naruto secretly sighed in the corner. Now he could finally rest assured. He had broken out in a cold sweat during the first two matches...
[Aren't you going on stage?] Starry Night looked at him impatiently.
[Ah? Oh, of course, ha! Ha!" Naruto stood where he was, smiling foolishly.
He looked at Ya and Ichimaru, who were already standing on the field. Starry Night, I will definitely win for you…Ah, ah!!」Before he could finish, he fell down the stairs.
Not long after the match started, Sakura woke up and saw Starry Night's position in a daze. Beside her, Ino was also brought back by their group's teacher, Asma.
After watching Naruto imitate Sasuke's " Chain Bomb ", to everyone's surprise, Naruto won!
[Hey! Hey! Starry Night, look! I won!" Naruto returned to the audience and rubbed his nose proudly.
[So?] Starry Night replied to him, but Naruto didn't know how to reply,"Well... you can say something to congratulate me!」
"..." Starry Night thought for a long time. Sakura was also curious about her reaction. In the end, under their gazes, she casually said,"Congratulations."」Black lines appeared on their heads,[You don't have to be so insincere, do you?]
The next match was between Hinata and Ningji Hinata. It really was fate that it became a battle between the main family and the branch family. Ningji, who was firm in the law of fate, and Hinata, who hoped to gain value. Were these two people fighting for themselves…or for the glory of their families?
"People can never change their own destiny.」
Fate was indeed unpredictable.
She once thought that she would be forever alone in this cruel world…
Perhaps, this was her fate…
[The match is over! Winner-Ningji Hinata."
The injured Hatata was sent for treatment, and Naruto finally swore to Ningji that he would definitely beat him. Before the next round began, gravel flew and gathered in the center of the field, and finally a figure appeared.」
At this moment, the name list showed [Sandfall I Love Luo VS Rock Lee].
The matches were carried out one after another, which made Starry Night even more suspicious that there was some conspiracy behind it.
"Alright! Go, Xiao Li!" Kel's passionate voice came from the opposite stands.」Xiao Li jumped down from the stands with his hand on the railing.
[I didn't expect to be able to fight with you so soon. I'm so happy!]」
[Humph!] I Love Luo crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Moonlight Gale announced,"The ninth round begins!」Xiao Li began to attack like a storm. I Love Luo stood motionless in the middle of the field, and the gravel seemed to have a life of its own as it blocked all the attacks for him.
That was…the power of the guardian crane.
However, this power forced him to become a terrifying existence. He became cold, arrogant, cruel, heartless, and was related to killing intent and hatred. Thinking about it carefully, he was just a child played by fate...
In the fog, there were always some things that couldn't escape, but they couldn't be seen clearly.
The sand armor shattered the attacks from every corner.
The calabash turned into sand in the air and helped me love Luo to absorb most of the impact. The sand followed him to capture his prey, and then he gradually raised his right hand.
At this moment, it was so quiet that even breathing was not allowed. They opened their eyes and did not dare to close them. Their huge hands were stained with blood, and the cruelty made everyone present feel endless fear.
Kel seized the opportunity to block in front of Xiao Li and kicked away the Hand of Sand that was binding Xiao Li's feet.
I Love Luo couldn't understand his actions, and the thoughts in her mind gradually became chaotic."Why... did you save him?」
[Because he is my beloved subordinate!」Kel replied.
For a moment, all the negative emotions of being isolated, rejected, abandoned, and betrayed occupied all his thoughts. I Love Luo sighed,"Forget it."」The sand returned to his back and returned to the shape of a gourd.
Moonlight Gale solemnly announced,"The winner, I love you."」It ended this terrifying match.
Starry Night calmly watched the back of that person, not making a sound or talking to anyone else. The process of the competition seemed to be the most focused, but also the most uncaring.
The next match between Qiu Daoding and Toth passed in the blink of an eye.
[Starry Night! It's your turn next." Sakura started to get nervous. Naruto couldn't believe that Starry Night was going to compete with Tosenpai.」
Starry Night raised his head and looked at the display on the screen. He walked to the front of the arena and immediately saw the person who had disappeared since the start of the preliminaries.
[I thought you forfeited.]
"No, it's my honor to be able to compete with you, Starry Night!」Dou treated her with the same respect as he treated his own master."Please show mercy."」
Starry Night didn't listen to that sentence. She met the gaze of the person in front of her. She saw something, but her eyes were also covered by the pair of glasses.
[The last round, the match begins!」
