Kirai continued to stay by Naruto's side, just like Iruka back then. No, it seemed to be even more excessive than Iruka. She just casually barged into Naruto's life. From time to time, he would teach Naruto a few offensive ninjutsu, and Naruto naturally would not refuse.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Everyone had made full use of this time to train themselves.
After a month of separation, everyone returned to this competition with a confident smile on their faces. It was rare for him to disappear so early in the morning. Naruto packed up by himself before he came to the arena unhurriedly. There were already contestants waiting there.
"Naruto, you're here too. If I had known earlier, I would have come later.”Shikamaru said reluctantly.
"With Naruto's habits, it's rare for him to arrive before the start of the competition.”Shino calmly pushed up the sunglasses on his eyes." However, Sasuke hasn't arrived yet. This is quite strange."”
"Yes, Toth, who wanted to fight me, didn't come either.”Shikamaru looked at the contestants.
"Hey, little brat at the back, you should be facing the audience with your head up and chest out at this time, not hiding behind and whispering.”The ninja standing at the front said.
Only now did they notice that the surrounding audience seats were filled with people and ear-piercing cheers.
"Naruto." At some point, I Love Luo appeared behind Naruto." Be careful during the competition."”He was specially sent here by Sanin, so he naturally knew a little about the village's movements. Therefore, he kindly came over to remind her.
"Yes." It was considered an answer. He turned to look at the third-generation successor in the audience. A ninja appeared beside the third-generation successor and whispered a few words into his ear.
" Lord Third Generation, there's still no news of Sasuke. We're worried that it's Orochimaru......" the ninja said.
"I understand."
At this moment, Shinobu's Windshade had also arrived at the audience seats with his subordinates. During this period, there were naturally a few pleasantries. Naruto's gaze lingered on Kazuko for a moment. The latter seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look at her meaningfully.
"Naruto, when did you become so familiar with that guy?”Shikamaru looked at the departing I Love Luo with a strange gaze. I Love Luo had left a deep impression on him during the last competition. That crazy look, even now, he felt a chill down his spine.
Naruto only glanced at I Love Luo and didn't answer. There was nothing to say about this.
"Right, I want you to take a look at this before the competition begins.”He took out a competition form from his pocket." Due to some special circumstances, the combination of the matches has changed a little.”
There were originally nine people in the competition, but now only eight were left. Shikamaru's original opponent, Toth, was not on the list.
I Love Luo's mind flashed with what happened a while ago. At that time, I Love Luo had just come out of her soul space and made a deal with One Tail. In exchange, I Love Luo could freely use One Tail's chakra, and One Tail would no longer compete with I Love Luo for complete control of her body. I Love Luo had never felt so relaxed in more than ten years. The chakra that had always been used to resist the tail was suddenly empty, and her entire body felt like it was swelling. At this moment, a guy who was looking for death rushed out. It was just the right time for I Love Luo to vent the full chakra in her body and test the power of the next tail.
In the end, that guy who was courting death was naturally dead. Of course, he would not appear in the competition arena again.
"Alright, the match will begin now. The rules are still the same. The match will end when the other party dies or dies, and I announce the end of the match. In the first match, Naruto Uzumaki was going to play against Natsuji Hinata. The other contestants were waiting in the audience.”The head examiner didn't know that Huo Xuanjian had a long toothpick in his mouth, but it didn't affect his speech at all.
Soon, only Naruto and Ning Ji were left on the stage. Mystic Flame stood to the side." The first match begins."”
"Naruto shouldn't have any problems.”Hatata was a little worried. After all, Hatata had a huge shadow over Nyuji. She had lived under the shadow of Nyuji's power since she was young. As long as she faced Nyuji, she would feel unconfident.
"Don't worry, Naruto isn't someone who can be easily defeated. Come on, Naruto, defeat that guy and avenge Hinata.”Ya cheered loudly for Naruto.
"Woof woof."
"Yes, Akamaru, what did you say?" Ya looked at Akamaru, who was a little uneasy, and then turned his head to the last guardrail of the audience seats. A ninja from the Dark Group was standing there. "Strange, why would the Dark Group appear here at this time? Akamaru, have you found any other members of the Dark Group?”
" Woof!" Akamaru dutifully sniffed the air around him, then barked a few times.
"What is it? You said that there are many strange auras around here?”Ya's eyes narrowed. Those unknown auras should be from the Dark Group. Then why were there so many Dark Forces hiding around the competition arena?
The Dark Group had a special way to hide their aura, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect it. Even Akamaru might not have been able to discover these secret forces if he hadn't been specially trained. When he was still in school, Naruto liked to stay alone in the forest, and his aura was similar to the surrounding plants. If Ya and the others wanted to find Naruto to play, they had to search through more than half of the forest. It was because of this that Ya had specially trained Akamaru. Yes, Akamaru was especially sensitive to smells, which was why he could detect the special auras around him.
It wasn't just Ya. In order to find Naruto quickly, Ya's entire team had been specially trained in searching for people, which made the three of them particularly outstanding in their investigative skills.
"Ya, what's wrong?"
"Hatata, roll your eyes and see if there are many hidden forces around. Akamaru said that he smelled a lot of strange smells.”Although Hinata usually looked weak, she was very good at rolling her eyes. Regarding this, other than Ya and the others, even her father did not know. It should be said that he didn't even notice it.
Seeing Ya's serious expression, Hatata couldn't help but feel nervous. "You rolled your eyes." He lowered his head slightly, and the veins on his face showed up. Instantly, the surrounding environment entered his eyes.
The sense of familiarity that he had developed over the years allowed him to sense Hatata's movements at the first possible moment, and he immediately released the scouting bugs...
Everyone was paying attention to the arena, so no one noticed the small movements of the three people at all. On the field, Ning Ji used soft fists, and Naruto's body was surrounded by leaves, forming a special sense of beauty. If the sound of weapons colliding was removed from time to time, it was as if the two were not fighting but dancing.
