Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 5

The seven days before the exam were undoubtedly very leisurely and idle for us.

After staying obediently in the hotel for a long time, I finally couldn't hold back.

Early the next morning, I involuntarily dragged Gaara out of the hotel, calling it "familiar with the terrain of Konoha Village...but in fact I took him to accompany me to relieve boredom."

Due to the extreme reluctance, Gaara had a gloomy face from beginning to end.Of course, even in normal times, he never laughed...

"Hey... Gaara, do you want to eat?"

I held up the ice cream I bought from the side of the road, knowing that he would not answer me, I still asked him relentlessly, but what I got in return was that he shook his head indifferently, and didn't even bother to answer me...

I was shocked, but he just folded his arms and looked at the distance intently, with a face full of indifference to world affairs.

I lightly took a bite of the ice cream, and suddenly, those weird, future-like images reappeared in my mind.

This time, I saw that in a room, everyone was sitting in front of the table with test papers in front of them. The blond boy I met last time was slapping the table and staring at the big man in front as if he was talking.

Immediately afterwards, the scene switched to a forest, where Sasuke was lying quietly in the tree hole, the injured girl with pink hair and a boy with a kappa head in a green tights were confronting the three sound ninjas...

My hand was not steady, and the ice cream fell to the ground.

But I didn't have time to think about ice cream at all, and my face was full of panic.

If these images are real, is this what is going to happen in the near future?
It must be, just like before, things will happen according to my memory... It's terrible...

"What's wrong with you?" Gaara's greeting came from beside him.

I looked up and saw his concerned eyes, such eyes, less killing intent, less despair, how long has it been since I saw him...

But I couldn't make him worry, so I immediately pretended to be nonchalant and smiled at him.

"fine."

Seeing my familiar smile, he let go of his heart, withdrew the concern in his eyes, and changed back to his original appearance.

The Chunin Exam... It seems that many things will happen...

When we walked near the lake in Muye Village, we ran into the three people from yesterday again.

Sasuke Uchiha, the blond boy and the girl with pink hair.

They were visibly surprised to see us, and then looked wary.

The fear in the girl's eyes is obvious, it seems that they are wary of us...

I looked at Gaara beside me, he just stared at each other in silence.

In desperation, I had no choice but to walk over and say to them in as friendly a tone as possible, "What a coincidence, we meet again." I smiled gently.

Maybe it's because I'm not hostile at all, and I'm a cute girl their age.The blond boy gradually let go of his vigilance, and smirked generously at me with his teeth bared.

"I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. Brother Kankuro's temper has always been like this. We don't want to conflict with Konoha's ninja."

"Hey. Hey...it's okay, it's okay! We won't care!" The blond boy said carelessly ahead of him.

"Well, yes, since we are ninjas from the allied countries, we can learn from each other. What happened yesterday was all a misunderstanding!" The pink-haired girl waved her hand, very sensible.

Sasuke thought about it, and finally said, "We don't care."

"Eh? By the way, what's your name? My name is Haruno Sakura, just call me Sakura. This is Uzumaki Naruto, Naruto. Sasuke over there...you already know him?"

The girl introduced herself and her friends kindly, and I nodded repeatedly. It turned out that the blond boy was called Naruto.

Smiling secretly in his heart, he looks like a very interesting and impulsive person, but he is rather silly, completely different from the serious Sasuke aura.

"My name is Huageng, Gaara, and you guys already know each other." I looked back at Gaara who was stunned, and wiped the hair on my forehead in embarrassment.However, Sasuke and Gaara didn't notice that our existence was staring at each other fiercely.Their eyes met, sparks sparked endlessly.

They really care about each other very much, are they old enemies?

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, I asked Sakura in an extremely relaxed tone, "Hey... it's my first time here in Konoha, can you take me around?"

"Well! Of course you can!"

Agreeing without hesitation, Naruto patted his chest, but was immediately stared at by Sakura.

"You two have such a good relationship." I covered my mouth and laughed.

"What, that's not good!" Sakura blushed when she heard me say that, and hurriedly retorted.

I didn't continue this topic, but pulled Gaara to my side, preventing him and Sasuke from looking at each other.Looking at it like this, it always feels a little strange, and it's not an enemy.

"That..." Xiao Sakura looked at Gaara, hesitant to speak.

After thinking about it, she pulled me aside, leaned on my ear and asked in a low voice, "Huajing, do you really want to take him?" She pointed at Gaara, "I always feel that his eyes are so uncomfortable... ..."

"Don't worry, it's okay, I patted her on the shoulder.

So just like that, a group of five of us started a journey to visit Konoha under the leadership of Sakura and Naruto.

The atmosphere in the middle was unusually deserted.

Basically, the whole hours until the evening were spent in the quarrel between Naruto and Sakura, Sasuke and Gaara looking at each other without saying a word.I followed behind silently, watching them immersed in it, and suddenly felt regretful for bringing Gaara.

He really can't go back to the way he was before.

"So you will also take part in this Chunin exam?"

After listening to Sakura's narration, I learned that they were also recommended to take the Chunin Exam.

"Oh, yes."

"Then we might become rivals!" I was full of anticipation.

"I will definitely pass the exam and become a Chunin!" Naruto was full of confidence. Seeing Naruto's funny look, everyone looked at each other for a long time and smiled.

Except Gaara.

"Sasuke-kun, I'm looking forward to seeing your performance." I said to Sasuke specifically, I have to admit that I also care about Sasuke's strength.

He nodded "Me too."

Before we parted, we made an appointment to meet again the next day, but by the time I opened the door of Gaara's room the next morning, he was already gone.

"Really, we clearly agreed to go together today..." I pouted, looking at the empty room with dissatisfaction and complaining.

I don't know where I went... Maybe it was a special training somewhere.

Speaking of special training, shouldn't I also prepare for the Chunin exam?Even if the Chunin Exam is just a plan to attack Konoha.

Thinking of this, I feel that I can't bear to attack Sasuke and Naruto's village...

But... Gaara, are you willing?They treat you like this, do you still decide to pay for the village?As long as it is your decision, I will stand with you, and I will never... betray you, nor the village.
