Chapter 286 New members Sai and Fu's friends
Chapter 286 New members Sai and Fu's friends
Sakura Haruno joined Yamanaka Ino's team, and Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga's team was missing one person. In order to be able to participate in the joint Chunin Exam, it was the current Hokage Tsunade who finally assigned a member to the team, a guy none of them had ever seen before.
A strange man with white skin, short black hair, and a style that liked to show off his waist when wearing clothes, was standing next to the calm-looking Hyuga Neji, with a fake smile that made Haruno Sakura unhappy.
"Ningji, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Hyuga Neji had a straight face and said in a cold tone: "No, thank you."
"Would you like some fruit?"
"It's too windy and sandy, so I won't eat it."
"Well then... Neji, which of the two of them do you think is better at taijutsu?"
Hyuga Neji rolled his eyes at the man beside him and said coldly: "...Sai, I think it would be better if you just shut up."
"Ah?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Sai realized it belatedly and took a booklet in front of him and flipped through it with confusion. He muttered to himself as he read it, "This shouldn't be the case. The book says that this is how you should do it if you want to have a good relationship..."
After reading for a long time, Sai seemed to have finally found the problem.
He put down the booklet, suddenly stretched out a hand, put it on Hyuga Neji's shoulder, and then turned around and gave him a standard smile.
Neji:......
He regrets it.
If I had known this earlier, I would have waited for Tenten to come back and not participated in this damn Chunin Exam. In that case, Tsunade wouldn't have arranged a troublesome teammate whom she had never met before.
With an impatient look on his face, Hyuga Neji shook off the other person's arm on his shoulder and silently took a step back.
He had already made up his mind. If the other party dared to have physical contact with him again, he would let the other party taste the power of the gentle fist, even if it meant ruining his chance of passing the Chunin Exam.
Perhaps because he realized the danger, or perhaps for other reasons, Sai ultimately did not take any further action.
Hyuga Neji was finally able to observe the battle in peace.
The wind from the fists whistled and the dust exploded.
The two geniuses from the Sand Village and Konoha continued their physical battle. The noise they caused made the onlookers secretly frightened.
Chiwa Yame had a worried look on her face, while Haruno Sakura and Hyuga Neji were silently weighing their chances of winning if they fought the people in the field.
Neji Hyuga felt that he was far inferior in pure strength to Rock Lee who had activated the Eight Gates and Shira who was using the Seven Heavens Calling Technique at full power, but with the support of the Byakugan and Hyuga Gentle Fist, the outcome was unpredictable.
Haruno Sakura felt that if she faced either of the two people on the field, her chances of winning would be greater.
The super strength techniques that Tsunade taught her gave her the confidence to face any ninja specialized in physical techniques.
Her mastery of Yin Seals and medical ninjutsu gave her the courage to retreat unscathed even when facing famous masters.
Overall, the advantage is hers!
Thinking of this, her mood became cheerful and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
[Sasuke, and Naruto. ]
[Now I finally don’t have to hide behind you. ]
The battle between Rock Lee and Shira is getting more and more intense.
Just when the onlookers were concentrating intently and thought that the outcome was about to be decided, the battle was suddenly interrupted.
"Yeah!~"
"So many people!"
"Are you fighting? Stop it!"
"Buzz!~" The buzzing sound shook the air, raising a large amount of dust, and the momentum was shocking. While the onlookers were horrified, even Rock Lee and Shira, who were fighting, could not help but cover their faces with their hands to block the sudden sandstorm.
"Cough cough!"
"Ahem! Pah!~"
After a while, the wind and sand finally disappeared. Several people spat out the sand that flew into their mouths while looking at who was coming.
A girl with wings on her back was flying in the blue sky above the desert.
She has a generous and slender waist, a small black dog the size of a palm sits on her shoulder, and a bright and surprised smile appears on her beautiful face.
After stopping the two who were about to decide the winner, she turned her attention to Hyuga Neji and other ninjas.
"Konoha's ninja, I finally found you!!"
Haruno Sakura and others looked at each other.
This was the Chunin Exam, and a ninja from another country who had suddenly broken in said this. They subconsciously thought that the other party was here to seek revenge.
But looking at the expression on the girl's face, it didn't seem like it.
"You! How dare you suddenly interrupt other people's fight!" Rock Lee's slightly annoyed voice sounded.
"This is too much!" His face showed a frustrated look as if he had been interrupted right before his climax. He looked at the girl who stood between him and Zi Luo with full of resentment.
Behind the girl, Zi Luo had a similar expression on her face.
"Don't worry, the weather is so nice. What's the point of fighting?"
"My name is Fu, and I'm a ninja from Takigakure. How about we make friends?"
"I have 96 friends left now~ Do you want to..."
"Who wants to be friends with you!" Rock Lee said angrily.
Although the girl in front of him was not ugly, in his opinion, she was still far from being a perfect girl like Haruno Sakura, who was 'youthful and beautiful', 'fair-skinned and beautiful', and 'gentle and kind'.
He didn't want to make any friends with the other person now, he just wanted to fight with the man opposite!
Fu's bright smile froze on her face.
With a hint of embarrassment and grievance, he whispered, "If you don't want to hand it over, then don't hand it over. Why are you being so fierce~"
"It's not like I'm short of friends. I have four good friends."
"You..." Rock Lee also felt that his attitude was a bit fierce, but the anger was still churning in his chest and abdomen. He suppressed his impatience and said, "If there is nothing else, can you please get out of the way and don't disturb my fight!"
"Why are we fighting?" Fu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What's the point of fighting? We are friends, we can play cards, have barbecues and have parties together~"
Rock Lee: "...I'll say it again, please go away."
"Oh~" Fu responded softly, then said uncertainly: "Then after you finish fighting, can we be friends?"
Rock Lee: "..., this is not a fight! This is a battle between taijutsu masters."
Fu: "What battle? It's just a fight...", and under Rock Lee's increasingly impatient gaze, she flew away from between Rock Lee and Shira in dejection and came to Hyuga Neji and the others.
In her opinion, the battle between Rock Lee and Shira was clearly a fight.
No one will be killed, and there is no strong murderous intent like in ninja fights. What kind of battle is this?
As for the taijutsu master, she didn't feel anything at all.
The power of the Seven Heavens Calling Technique and the Eight Gates Ninjutsu may be considered powerful for those taking part in the Chunin Exam, but for her as a Jinchūriki, it is just average.
It looks fancy, with yellow and green colors emitting smoke, but it's not very powerful.
Earlier in the Geomagnetic Demon Swamp, his precious fourth friend, Suzumiya Musashi, had displayed a level of physical skills when fighting against the rapid attack of the monster snake, which far exceeded what Rock Lee had described as a "battle between physical skills masters".
Her depressed look did not last long. After she came to Hyuga Neji and others, a warm smile soon appeared on her face again.
"Hi~"
Several people looked alert.
"My name is Fu, and I'm a ninja from Takigakure."
"Do you know Tenten and Karin?"
