Familiar And Strange Dream

Then Morino Ibiki announced that everyone present had passed the exam.

"This battle begins to test your investigation ability and battlefield decision-making ability. In my opinion, if a Chūnin does not even have the ability to make decisions, then he is not worthy of being a Chūnin."

Ibiki's words calmed down the aggrieved people. Although they were angry, they had to admit that what Ibiki said did make sense.

While everyone was listening to Ibiki's teachings, two kunai tied to the black curtain broke through the glass and pierced the ceiling.

The curtain unfolded and there were several large words written on it: Mitarashi Anko, chief examiner of the second session, please attend!

A woman followed closely behind, landed on the podium and struck a handsome pose.

"It's not time to be happy yet. I am the chief examiner of the second session, Mitarashi Anko. Next, follow me!"

The shocking appearance made all the examinees stare wide-eyed. Is such an examiner really reliable?

Can they apply for Ibiki to continue to be an examiner? Although he likes to use psychological warfare, he seems to be reliable.

Anko also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and coughed twice: "Ahem, 83 people and 31 teams, Ibiki, why are there so many people? You must have been too gentle."

"There's a lot of good guys this year," Ibiki said.

Kai was no longer interested in listening to her nonsense, and waved to Hinata beside him: "Little Hinata, we will see you in the examination room tomorrow, I will leave first."

"Examination...Is it okay that the examiner is talking?"

"It's fine."

Kai waved his hand and stood up and walked out. He was now going back to catch up on his sleep.

Seeing Kai stand up, Hikari also stood up and walked out.

Anko shouted proudly, "Stop, is this how you treat the examiner?"

A shuriken flew towards Kai, and the Hikari instantly appeared in front of Kai, holding a kunai and flying away the incoming shuriken.

Murderous intent appeared in Karin's eyes. This woman dared to sneak attack Brother Kai. Now as long as Kai gives the order, she will kill Anko without hesitation.

At this moment, all the candidates felt like they were falling into an ice cave, and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.

Sasuke lowered his head slightly and looked at his trembling hands, thinking: Is this Genjutsu? No, this is pure murderous intent!

Naruto on the side was speechless and stiff.

The puppy named Akamaru was shaking uncontrollably above Inuzuka Kiba's head.

Yumoyin's Omoi was dripping with cold sweat on his knees. This was a murderous intention even more terrifying than his master's.

Gaara, on the other hand, opened his eyes wide, as if he had discovered someone of his own kind.

Kai ignored Anko's anger, patted Karim's shoulder to tell her to calm down, yawned and continued to walk forward: "The battle for the second round is in the Death Forest Sky of the 44th Training Ground. I know it. So let's disperse, it's time to eat, it's time to train."

Anko wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had only seen the powerful murderous intention in Orochimaru just now.

But now it appears in a little girl, and this little girl seems to be obedient to the boy.

And how did Anko know that Hikari, a weapon of the Warring States Period, had lived in killing since she was a child, and every time she took action, she would harvest countless lives.

"Okay, you just heard it. Tomorrow morning, in the Forest of Death at Training Ground 44, more than half of your candidates will be eliminated from this exam."

The candidates stood up and walked outside with lingering fear. The black-haired girl just gave them such a shock.

It's hard to imagine that I could be hostile to such a person.

Anko asked Ibiki, "Do you have any information about them?"

A ninja next to him flipped through the Chūnin handbook: "The leading boy Chiba Kishu, 13 years old, Sound Genin, completed the mission, C level 0 times, B level 0 times, A level 0 times, S level 0 times "

"The black-haired girl's name is Chiba Hikari, 13 years old, Genin, completed the mission, C-level 0 times, B-level 0 times, A-level 0 times, S-level 0 times."

"The red-haired girl's name is Uzumaki Karin, she is 13 years old, Genin, completed..."

Anko interrupted impatiently: "Okay, needless to say, it's all zero times again, right?"

"Yes."

Anko sighed, "Why did this Sound Ninja Village find so many monsters when it was just established?"

Ibiki picked up the information: "No matter what, you must report this to Lord Hokage."

...

Inside the Hokage office.

Ibiki reported the whole matter truthfully.

"Are you saying that the ninja sent by Sound Village at least has the strength of Special Jōnin?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"That's right, such killing intent is not something an ordinary Chūnin can achieve."

"Then what do you think their purpose is?"

Ibiki pondered for a moment: "I don't know, he was very quiet during the exam, just observing the surroundings. After the exam, he became a little impatient and left immediately."

"There are no taboos and you can do whatever you want. Maybe this is his standard of conduct." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of dry cigarette. He didn't know about Kai's purpose and could only guess like this.

Ibiki agreed, "It's possible."

"But we have to be on guard. Notify Jiraiya, tell him all the information, and ask him to replace Anko as the chief examiner of the second examination room."

"Understood."

...

Naruto was very excited after successfully passing the first exam and ran home jumping, completely ignoring the hostile looks from the people around him.

As long as he can find Chiba Kushi in the second exam, he can learn about his life experience from him and prove that he is not a demon fox.

"To celebrate successfully passing the first exam, the Collector's Edition Chicken Soup Flavor Ramen, I'll decide it's you today!"

He happily took out the instant noodles he had treasured for a long time, and for some reason, Kushi's face suddenly came to mind.

"Forget it, bring this to Kushi tomorrow and thank him for telling clues about my parents."

Naruto picked up a box of ordinary instant noodles and tasted it, but instead stuffed the box of treasured instant noodles into his school bag.

A bucket of instant noodles was enough for today's lunch, and Naruto lay on the bed feeling sleepy.

His mind wandered, and he fell into deep sleep in an instant.

In the dream, Naruto seemed to have returned to the day when he came to Ninja School to register. In the afternoon, all the students left the school gate together.

Most of the students were picked up and dropped off by their parents. Sakura immediately threw herself into her father's arms and coquettishly asked her father to carry her back.

Sasuke, the stinky fart, was also carried by his brother towards home, chatting and laughing.

Naruto smiled with some relief and walked towards his home alone.

Just after walking a short distance, he felt a pain in his head.

"Naruto, why did you run outside without even waiting for your mother? Do you want to sneak out to play again?"

Naruto looked back and saw a woman with red hair flying in the sky. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he felt a sense of intimacy.

He knew very well that he didn't know this person, but he just said, "Mom."

"Being cute won't solve the problem. Accept the sanctions, little Naruto, and follow me home."

The red-haired woman grabbed Naruto's ears and pulled her away.

He was dragged all the way back to a strange home.

"I'm back." The red-haired woman shouted and opened the door suddenly.

Naruto saw a blond man sitting in the living room, put down the newspaper and looked over.

The blond man's voice was very gentle: "Welcome back, Kushina, Naruto."

The red-haired woman knelt down, feeling helpless, helped Naruto put on his frog slippers, and then threw him on the sofa.

"Minato, you have to take care of your son! I just went to pick him up from school, and he actually wanted to sneak out to play. Do you know how dangerous this is?"

An exaggerated expression appeared on the red-haired woman's face, and she began to imagine what might happen.

"Maybe he will become like Mr. Jiraiya, doing nothing all day long, peeking into the women's bathroom, and violating the three taboos of ninjas!"

The blond man showed an awkward smile and tried to defend his son: "No, Naruto is just having fun."

However, when he saw his wife's increasingly angry expression, his tone immediately changed: "But, Naruto, you are wrong to do this. You should go home immediately after school and report to your parents that you are safe. If you want to go out to play, You must tell us, do you understand?"

Naruto nodded blankly: "Father."

The man quickly changed the subject, "Go and wash your hands quickly, dinner will be served soon."

"Okay." Naruto ran to the bathroom as if he was being pardoned.

The family began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner to celebrate Naruto's enrollment.

In the haze, Naruto felt himself being carried to bed by the blond man, while the red-haired woman kissed his forehead tenderly and said softly: "Good night, son."

In reality, Naruto opened his eyes and got up from the bed: "Hey... I have to pee!"

Naruto quickly rushed to the toilet and opened the gate to release the water.

"Woohoo...so comfortable."

Lifting up his pants, Naruto suddenly thought of the dream he had just had and tried hard to recall the scene in the dream.

The words of the blond father and the red mother are still in my ears.

"Father, mother..."

Naruto's facial features were twisted into a ball, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Outside the window, Kai, who watched all this quietly, deactivated the Sharingan again.

"It's time to go to Sasuke's house."

White Zetsu's head popped up next to Kai's feet.

"Lead the way, let's go find Sasuke."

"As you command, Lord Kai."

These are the White Zetsu men that Kai asked for from Black Zetsu. He then asked Hikari to use the Eight Thousand Spears on them again. Now they are only loyal to Kai.
