In the blink of an eye, a day has passed quickly.
As night fell, Kakashi finished his daytime missions, returned home, quickly washed up, and went to bed early to rest.
Before long, his breathing gradually became steady, and he drifted off to sleep.
And at this moment, in the dream.
The No. 1 arena in Konoha Village was bustling with noise.
The largest Chunin Exams in the history of the ninja world—
The final trial of the massive Chunin Exams, involving the combined efforts of the five great ninja villages, has finally begun!
Chapter 125 Naruto VS Gaara
Kakashi opened his eyes and found himself on the central platform of Konoha's Training Ground No. 1.
The Chunin Exams finals have officially begun!
At this moment, the three high platforms surrounding the venue were packed to capacity, with cheers from the audience rising and falling, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
Sitting in front of him was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Minato remained calm and focused on the scene.
Standing beside him were Might Guy and Uchiha Shisui, both elite Jonin who served as guards on the high platform.
Kakashi looked around; there were two VIP seats on each side.
Five shadows arrived at once!
On the left, Onoki of Iwagakure sat upright, his expression stern.
Next to him was A from Kumogakure, with his arms crossed and an imposing presence.
On the right side, the Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura Karatachi, sat quietly.
What concerned Kakashi was that the Kazekage Rasa was completely wrapped in a heavy robe, with only his eyes showing, and his face was not visible.
Just as Kakashi was deep in thought, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted around the training ground, interrupting his thoughts.
"Ah—! It's young master Sasuke! He's so handsome!!"
"Go for it, Sasuke!"
Kakashi looked towards the center of the arena upon hearing the sound and, sure enough, saw Sasuke's figure.
Sasuke grinned and waved to the audience as he walked into the arena.
His opponent was a white-haired youth wearing a Kirigakure headband, with a mouthful of sharp teeth and a look of eager anticipation on his face.
Kakashi glanced down at the electronic screen at the side of the court, where the two names were clearly displayed:
Hozuki Suigetsu VS Uchiha Sasuke.
Genma Shiranui, serving as the proctor for this session, stood between the two contestants.
He glanced at the two men and announced in a deep voice, "The match begins!"
……
in the audience.
Naruto patted Sasuke's arm and excitedly shouted, "Sasuke, Sasuke! Look, it's your turn!"
Sasuke simply pursed his lips and said, "I know."
Sasuke felt somewhat depressed despite seeing himself displaying great skill in his dream.
The top geniuses from the five great ninja villages gathered together, such a good opportunity for training, but I was unable to enter the dream world to participate in the battle.
Sasuke clenched his fist secretly, feeling a pang of regret.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Besides Naruto and Sasuke, Jiraiya and Sakura are also here today.
……
After using it for a while, Shiyu also discovered that the VIP rooms also have their drawbacks.
With no other audience members and only one person in the private room, it doesn't actually generate a lot of emotional impact.
Sometimes it's even worse than the main hall, since the interaction between audience members can generate a lot of emotional value.
So today, Shiyu arranged for all four of them to sit in the audience.
After all, today's plot is absolutely explosive.
We need to encourage them to communicate more.
……
on the screen.
With a command from the unknown fire, Sasuke and Suigetsu exchanged glances, and the battle instantly began!
Hozuki Suigetsu smirked, revealing a set of sharp, white teeth, exuding confidence: "Hey, Uchiha brat, I hope you don't fall down so easily!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already formed hand seals and slammed his hands down on the ground, shouting, "Water Release: Water Vortex Bullet!"
Suddenly, a large amount of water appeared out of nowhere, swirling and surging around him.
Shuiyue possesses a unique water transformation technique, instantly transforming herself into a flowing water form and merging with the surrounding water-based abilities.
Amidst the churning waves, he chuckled eerily, "You're from the Uchiha clan, aren't you! My body is made of water, your fire jutsu won't work on me! You're doomed!"
"Is that so?" Sasuke remained unmoved.
He brought his right hand together, and in an instant, lightning crackled and sparked in his palm.
"Then let's try this... Chidori!"
A sharp, piercing screech was heard!
Wherever the lightning passed, the water surged and churned, making a hissing sound.
"What?!" Before Shuiyue could react, she was hit by Chidori.
In just a few breaths, the battle was over!
Sasuke won easily with overwhelming force.
The audience erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Long live young master Sasuke!"
"As expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan!"
On the high platform.
The Kazekage Rasa, who was wrapped up tightly, chuckled twice and slowly clapped his hands: "As expected of a descendant of the prestigious Uchiha clan of Konoha, your talent is so amazing at such a young age!"
His voice was hoarse, yet it carried a strange fervor.
Minato Namikaze smiled slightly upon hearing this and politely replied, "Lord Kazekage, you flatter me. Young people should just spar casually; there's no need to exaggerate."
"Heh!" Onoki snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and glanced dismissively at the Kazekage. "It's just a matter of elemental advantage. Is that something you should be bragging about about the Uchiha? Hmph, if it were one of our Iwagakure or Kumogakure ninjas, they would have easily defeated them as well."
Upon hearing this, Raikage A laughed gruffly, "That's right! If the ninjas from Kumogakure were to fight, the battle would end even faster! It seems that Konoha's geniuses are only at this level!"
Minato Namikaze smiled but said nothing.
Kakashi felt a little embarrassed listening to the Kage of several major powers bickering. Was this something he should be listening to?
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
At the same time, Kakashi's gaze fell once again on the motionless Kazekage, and a few doubts arose in his heart.
The way "Wind Shadow" spoke felt strangely familiar to him.
Moreover… Kakashi glanced at the Mizukage, Yagura, who remained silent on the other side.
It's a bit strange that the Mizukage didn't say a word the whole time after the Kirigakure ninja, Hozuki Suigetsu, was defeated!
Normally, he should have some reaction when a younger generation in his own village is defeated, right?
However, Yagura remained silent throughout, as if it were none of his business, an unusual behavior that made Kakashi secretly wary.
……
in the audience.
Sakura couldn't help but cheer: "Wow, Sasuke in the dream is so amazing! He won so easily!"
Hearing Sakura's praise of the dream Sasuke, Naruto curled his lip and muttered unconvinced, "Tch, that's because the opponent was too weak! He lost so easily! I could have done it too!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Sasuke rolled his eyes upon hearing this; he couldn't be bothered to talk to this idiot.
Jiraiya, watching Sasuke finish the battle on the screen, stroked his chin and chuckled, "Heh, as expected of Konoha's new generation brat, he's got some skills."
The lineup for the next match quickly appeared on the screen.
Naruto Uzumaki's name was prominently listed!
Naruto stared at the screen, his eyes widening suddenly, and he jumped up from his seat: "Huh? I'm next?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
……
The atmosphere in the training field had reached its peak at this moment.
Amidst a deafening cheer, Naruto makes his dazzling entrance!
Naruto's short, golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight. He wore a brand-new orange-black ninja combat suit, his clothes were neat, and the Konoha Village insignia on his headband was polished to a gleaming shine.
His sunny and handsome smile triggered even more frenzied screams from the audience in the stands.
"Ah—! It's Naruto! Naruto is out!"
"Naruto-sama, I want to have your baby!!"
"Naruto-sama, look over here, look over here! Ah—he's looking at me!!"
