Natsuki's eyes darkened; he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't quite control his hands.
He quickly continued the topic to distract himself: "I only remembered when I saw Raiton Mitarashi today that he and Genma Shiranui had served as the Fourth Hokage's bodyguards and had also learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, perhaps because of insufficient talent, they were unable to fully master it and instead formed a trio with another bodyguard, Tatami Iwashi, to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique, which could teleport people or objects to other places."
Tenten immediately frowned, "How could such a powerful Space-Time Ninjutsu turn out like that for them?
Isn't this very redundant?"
"It is quite redundant, but it doesn't matter; we can find a way to ask them to teach me!"
Natsuki laughed, "Since they are Aoba-sensei's companions, I must use this connection.
Call me thick-skinned if you want, but I'll get my hands on the training scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique first!"
Tenten kissed Natsuki's cheek and nodded seriously, "Mm, my boyfriend's skin is indeed very thick, but I love it!"
Now Tenten also understood why Natsuki couldn't sleep.
He had thought of something great, which is why he wasn't sleepy at all.
And it wasn't just Natsuki; she herself was now so excited that she couldn't sleep either, and she would probably go out with dark circles under her eyes tomorrow.
She just didn't know when they would be able to get their hands on the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The two fell silent for a moment, breathing in each other's breath, and could also feel each other's heartbeats, their faces getting closer and closer.
Mm, it still smelled like mint toothpaste, which felt pretty good.
Fortunately, they were Ninja, so their self-control was relatively strong and they didn't give in, but if they continued like this, it would be dangerous.
They were still young and it wasn't appropriate.
So, the two started talking about other things to change the subject.
"Today, Aoba-sensei gave us the application forms and said we're participating in the Chunin Exams.
Your Team Guy is also planning to register, right?" Natsuki proactively brought this up.
"Mm.
Last year, Teacher Kai felt that Xiao Li's strength was insufficient, so we didn't register.
But this year, we definitely have to participate.
With my strength, becoming a Chunin shouldn't be difficult, right?" Tenten said with confidence.
Now, even without using her trump cards, she could fight Neji evenly for a short period of time.
If she couldn't pass the Chunin Exams like this, then probably ninety-nine percent of the candidates wouldn't pass.
In Tenten's opinion, Natsuki, Neji, Shino, and herself were definitely among the top candidates.
So, there was no need to worry.
Natsuki actually wasn't worried about the exam itself; he was mainly worried about Orochimaru causing trouble.
As long as his family and friends weren't harmed, it didn't matter how Orochimaru killed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But if Orochimaru threatened the safety of Tenten and his friends, Natsuki wouldn't be polite either.
His Hatake Swordmanship was not weak now, and teaming up with others to deal with Orochimaru wouldn't be a problem.
However, just in case, Natsuki still decided to remind Tenten more.
"Tenten, you can't be careless in this exam.
Do you remember Otogakure that I told you about last time?
Ninja from Otogakure are also participating in this exam, so you must be careful and cautious..."
Tenten naturally listened intently and casually put away the flashlight, but she felt as if there was another flashlight in the quilt.
Two days later, Natsuki and Tenten went to the registration desk together.
Yamashiro Runya, Kato Megumi, Neji, and Xiao Li were already waiting downstairs.
The six of them walked into the building together.
As soon as they reached the second floor, they saw a commotion in front of a large classroom on the second floor.
It seemed that some candidates wanted to enter the classroom, but the two Konoha gatekeepers were blocking the entrance and their attitude was very bad.
Looking up at the wall above the door of this large classroom, there was actually a sign for the third floor.
It was just a simple Genjutsu test.
Those who couldn't see through it didn't need to participate in the exam; they should just go home and lie down.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Hey!
Natsuki, Tenten, you guys are also registering!
But that's right, you're so strong, it's normal for you to register!
By the way, Natsuki, why is your Team Nine all wearing sunglasses?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura walked over, looking quite confident.
However, before Natsuki and Tenten could speak, Xiao Li suddenly flashed forward and blocked Team Seven.
Then, Xiao Li bowed to Sakura and extended his hand, saying, "Are you Miss Sakura Haruno?
I am Rock Lee.
I like you.
Please go out with me.
I will protect you with my life!"
Natsuki held his forehead; this plot point was still happening.
It seems the anime setting was that Sakura was very pretty, which is why Naruto would like her, and Xiao Li would also like her.
Moreover, Xiao Li's love at first sight was real; he truly protected Sakura with his life afterward.
I really feel it wasn't worth it for Xiao Li; how could he have been so blind as to fall for her?
Sakura was instantly dumbfounded and decisively refused: "Sorry! Your eyebrows are too thick, and you're not my type either!"
...
After speaking, she hid behind Sasuke.
Naruto, on the other hand, exploded directly, making a fuss with 'wah wah' sounds.
Natsuki watched, his face twitching, and decisively pulled Tenten, who was trying to hold back her complaints, towards the third floor.
Yamashiro Rinne and Kato Megumi quickly followed, and Neji also greeted Xiao Li before following them.
There was nothing to see in this farce; they shouldn't delay getting into the exam room.
The group quickly entered the exam room on the third floor, and as soon as they entered the door, they were met with the attention of a crowd.
Every single one of them looked fierce and malicious; ordinary people would definitely feel pressured seeing them.
But these people were naturally not ordinary; they scanned the room calmly, then locked onto the position of their friends, and walked straight over.
"Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Kiba, Hinata, it seems your Team Eight and Team Ten also signed up.
It's been a while; are you all doing well?"
....
....
....
Natsuki said, and even bumped fists with Shino.
The two had been good friends and deskmates for many years, so their relationship was naturally closer.
Tenten also greeted them, but her smile was directed at Shino.
Shino was not just a simple friend; he was also the matchmaker for her and Natsuki, so their relationship was naturally different.
"Natsuki, Tenten, it's been a while."
Shino was also very happy, not just because he saw his good friends, but also because Natsuki and Tenten would always notice him first.
You should know that his presence had always been very low; even Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata, two reconnaissance-type Ninja, would often overlook his existence.
Only Natsuki and Tenten, these two good friends, would remember him.
So, naturally, he was happy.
"I knew you two lovebirds would come.
Speaking of which, why is everyone in your Team Nine wearing sunglasses?"
Ino smiled and waved.
"Tsk, such a troublesome exam, why did you all come?"
Shikamaru was as usual.
"Natsuki, how about we go to your house for a meal after the exam?
I haven't eaten your cooking in a long time; I've been craving it."
Choji was also the same as ever, but his words were quite agreeable to everyone.
Indeed, Natsuki's cooking was so good; since graduation, they hadn't tasted it again, so of course, they were craving it.
Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru immediately expressed their agreement.
Hinata spoke weakly, still with her usual personality, and seeing that Neji was also there, she became even more timid.
Fortunately, Neji had no intention of making things difficult for her on the spot, which made Hinata breathe a sigh of relief.
