Chapter 72: Do you believe in fate?

The Third Hokage sat and talked for a while, and left after some encouragement. Chūnin's exams were coming soon, and he still had a lot of work to do.

If it wasn't for Konohamaru, he wouldn't have had the time to come to Naruto.

But since there was such a reason, he might as well just come over and have a look, and now that Naruto was still the same as before, he felt more at ease.

…

At about three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, team 7 assembled at the school gate.

Everyone had signed the application form, even Sakura.

Having already decided to learn medical ninjutsu, she took this exam for the experience of the exam in advance to prepare for the future.

Sasuke saw that Sakura was still listless, and when he went in, he whispered a word of cheer.

"Don't worry you can do it."

"Eh?!"

Sakura paused and looked at Sasuke.

"Is that what he said to me?"

"Didn't you need a cheer-up call?"

Naruto replied, followed Sasuke, and walked into the school.

"Sasuke-kun~"

Sakura's eyes burst out with love, and she chased after him with a red face, shouting Sasuke's name loudly.

"I knew it would be like this...women are troublesome."

…

In the school, a group of students who also came to take the Chūnin exam were surrounding the door of a classroom with the door plate [301].

Boom!

A figure was kicked away by two ninjas guarding the door.

"How dare you come to take the Chūnin exam?"

"Hey, kid, I advise you to forget it."

The candidates around said mockingly to the figure who fell to the ground.

Izumo: "Hey~ You guys are still too tender."

Kotetsu: "That's right~~ I advise you to go back and train hard before coming back."

"Lee, are you okay?!"

Tenten helped Lee up and asked worriedly.

"But you are too cruel!"

Izumo: "What do you know, brat! You must know that Chūnin is the captain of a team. If the mission fails or his subordinates die, the captain is the one who is responsible!"

Kotetsu: "With your level, you still want to take the Chūnin exam? You should thank us for driving you away."

Tenten: "Damn it!"

"Hey Lee, are you okay?"

Naruto came over and asked.

"Naruto?! You're here!"

Hearing someone calling him, Lee looked back, and greeted Naruto in surprise, at the same time, he was suddenly attracted by a certain figure.

Tenten: "So you are Naruto? You don't look very strong."

Neji also took a look at who this Naruto that Lee kept talking about was.

"Is it him? The demon fox?"

Sensing the gaze, Naruto turned his head and smiled at Neji.

"We plan to go to the correct room. Just undo the genjutsu."

Sasuke said coldly to Kotetsu and Izumo.

"Genjutsu?!"

"What is he talking about?"

"Isn't this classroom 301?"

Hearing Sasuke's words, all the candidates around immediately exclaimed.

"You have good eyesight, that you saw it through."

"However, just undoing the Genjutsu is not enough!"

Kotetsu shot suddenly and kicked Sasuke.

"Oh, it seems the show has begun," Naruto laughed.

"What?" Tenten looked at Naruto suspiciously.

Boom!

A figure moved in between them, stopping the attacks of Kotetsu and Sasuke with both hands.

"You are fast! And you have good strength...Do you specialize in taijutsu?"

Sasuke, who had long been familiar with Naruto's beating, had a very keen insight into physical skills, so he quickly judged Lee's strength.

"Hey, didn't you agree to keep a low profile? Why did you suddenly make a move?"

Neji looked at Lee with a frown.

Lee didn't answer but suddenly blushed, clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and strode toward Sasuke.

Sasuke: "This guy...was he pretending just now?"

Just as Sasuke wanted to ask Lee why he was coming towards him, he realised that his target was not himself.

"Hello! My name is Lee, and you are Sakura right!?"

"Please be my girlfriend! I will protect you to the death!!"

Lee gave his signature thumbs up, and smiled. The teeth at the corners of his mouth were shining.

"Pfft..." Naruto covered his mouth and laughed.

"Is this the good show you were talking about?"

Tenten stared at Naruto who was giggling beside him with a pair of deadpan eyes.

At the same time, she was a bit embarrassed... Lee you idiot!

"No!! Your eyebrows are too thick!!"

Sakura simply took a step back and firmly refused.

"..."

Lee suddenly became depressed and walked back to his teammates.

"You are the rookie named Uchiha Sasuke," Ignoring Lee, Neji said to Sasuke.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I hope you can stay in the exam until the end."

"Hmph, I hope you are still so confident by then."

As we all know, Konoha Village had two families of Eye kekkei genkai, one was Uchiha's Sharingan, and the other was Hyuga's Byakugan.

The two big families refused to accept each other and competed secretly. It was not until Uchiha were wiped out that the Hyugas became the so-called "strongest"

So when Sasuke saw Neji's white eyes, he knew why Neji was talking to him.

After Sasuke finished speaking, he headed toward the third floor with Naruto and Sakura who wanted to leave immediately.

"...You go first, I have something to do." At the corner, Naruto suddenly stopped and said.

Sasuke: "What do you need to do?"

"Small things."

"We will wait for you on the third floor then, Sakura, let's go."

Neji: "We're leaving too."

Tenten: "Hey, Lee, let's go!"

"You both go first, I have to confirm one thing." Lee said standing still.

"Are those Kakashi's students?"

"Speaking of which, this year's Chunin exam, these candidates are worth looking forward to as examiners."

Kotetsu and Izumo, while talking, released the Transformation jutsu and laughed at each other.

"Fierce Uchiha Sasuke, wait a moment!"

Sasuke: "Huh?"

Sakura: "Who are you calling fierce!!"

Lee jumped in front of Sasuke and Sakura, stretched out his hand to Sasuke, and said:

"Let's compete now, how about it?"

"You want to fight me right now?" Sasuke sneered.

'Did this thick eyebrow think he could defeat me with only physical skills?'

"That's right!"

"My name is Lee!"

"I want to see if my moves are effective against the clan known as genius ninjas...and..."

As Lee spoke, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the Sakura next to Sasuke, with round eyes, and suddenly blinked.

"Oh~ my angel!"

And blew a kiss to Sakura.

"Noooo!"

On the other side, Neji and Tenten who walked to the corridor also met Naruto who was waiting there.

"Do you believe in fate?"
