Chapter 86: Brothers and sisters respect each other
Back home, Izumo Kamitsu's door was tightly closed, with some light shining through the crack.
"What's that kid up to so late at night instead of sleeping?" Shen Yue Xingyun muttered to himself, but made no intention of opening the door to check. The child was no longer a child and needed his own privacy.
After quickly tidying up and clearing his mind of the absurd events of the day, he went to bed early. The Chunin Exams were just around the corner, and he had to spar with Might Guy in the morning; he needed to maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
That morning.
The weather was clear and sunny. Shingetsu Seiun, carrying a small book and a ninja tool bag, prepared to set off.
Today is the day of the Chunin Exams.
Just as he was about to leave, Izumo Kamitsu's voice came from inside the room.
"Wait a moment."
Shen Yue Xingyun stopped in his tracks, listening to the clanging noises coming from the bedroom. He said, "I've put the food in the pot for you. Just heat it up yourself in a bit."
"Isn't today a holiday for the ninja academy? You can sleep in a little longer, you don't need to get up so early."
Before he could finish speaking, Izumo Kamizuko ran out wearing a monster-themed pajama set and carrying a bag.
"Today is the Chunin Exams."
"Take this," said Izumo Kamitsu, handing the package to Seiun Kamitsu.
The latter questioned why the package had been passed to him.
"What is this?"
Izumo Kamui said, "You might find it useful what I've prepared for you."
Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun examined the contents and found lime, poison, kerosene, and a small mechanism inside.
He looked up at Izumo Shinzuki, who still had dark circles under his eyes, and felt a surge of emotion: "You've been hiding in your room these past two days, preparing for all this?"
"Yes," Izumo Kamatsuki replied.
Just as Shenyue Xingyun was moved, he continued.
"You're so weak, if I don't prepare you properly, what will you do in the Chunin Exams?"
"It's fine if I don't pass, but if I get beaten up too badly, I'll lose face, okay?"
The feeling of being moved came to an abrupt end.
Izumo Kamitsu didn't notice his older brother's change in mood. He suddenly scratched his head and said with some distress, "It seems like just preparing these things isn't enough."
"I heard about it at school."
"During this Chunin Exams, many Genin are secretly plotting to teach you a lesson. Their argument is that they can fail the Chunin Exams, but they must give Shinzuki Seiun a good beating!"
She looked up, her expression worried, and asked Shenyue Xingyun, "You won't get beaten to death in the exam hall, will you?"
"Sigh~ I've advised you so many times before, but you just wouldn't listen."
"What's so great about girls?"
"Now look what's happened, everyone's targeting you."
"I heard there's a chance of injury or death in the Chunin Exams. You won't die in there, will you?"
"Why don't we just forfeit?"
"It doesn't matter if I lose face a little, as long as you live well, that's more important than anything else."
"Hey? Why are you looking at your watch instead of listening to me?"
Shen Yue Xingyun withdrew his gaze from his watch, and smiled slightly, saying, "It's nothing."
"Suddenly I realized there's still some time before the Chunin Exams start."
"Izumo, ever since you went to the Ninja Academy, I, as your older brother, haven't had a proper conversation with you."
"Today is a good day, let's have a friendly spar."
Shingetsu Izumo was taken aback.
"Now?"
For some reason, looking at his older brother's smile, he had a bad feeling.
"The Chunin Exams are about to start, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"It's alright, it won't take long."
"Bang bang!! ————"
Two minutes later, Shingetsu Seiun picked up his ninja tool bag and left home feeling refreshed. Inside, Shingetsu Izumo was fast asleep, lying on the floor.
Ninja Academy.
The first round of the Chunin Exams was held here.
When Shenyue Xingyun arrived, many people had already come to the school.
With his arrival, a multitude of eyes fell upon him.
The girls' eyes lit up, some jumped for joy, and some looked worried, while the boys' expressions were even more varied, some were expressionless, some had resentful eyes, and some gave a cold smile.
Shingetsu Seiun ignored the stares and was searching for Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai when a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Kanako, dressed in a ninja outfit. She came running over, her voice urgent, "Nebula."
"Let's skip the exam."
"Stop!" Shingetsu Seiun stretched out a hand, interrupting Kanako. He said, "Kanako."
"You're the seventh person in the last two days to advise me to give up the exam. Please, don't say it."
Kanako looked anxious: "But I've heard that many people are secretly targeting you."
"If you take the exam, they'll definitely make you pay!"
"Silly girl." Shinzuki Seiun patted Kanako's head. "Some things can't be avoided just once."
"Kanako, don't worry about me anymore. This time, I don't need to hide."
"But—" Kanako was eager to continue persuading them when a fragrant breeze wafted past them.
"Listen to her, she's right. Give up the exam as soon as possible."
Shingetsu Nebula looked up and saw Mutou Saika's slender figure receding into the distance.
He shook his head, ignoring her, and raised a finger to shut down Kanako's advice. Just then, he saw Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai not far away.
"Alright, Kanako, I'm off now. Good luck!"
They left their original spot and came to Sarutobi Asuma and his companion.
Shenyue Xingyun said, "I have bad news."
"I heard that many people are planning to cause me trouble during the exam."
"If there's a team assessment, you teammates might be in trouble."
Kurenai Yuhi wasn't surprised; she had also heard the rumor—no, the news.
There are too many guys who want to target Shenyue Xingyun, so it's impossible to keep the news a secret.
She smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"We're a team, so we'll face any difficulties together."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded in agreement: "That's right."
"Don't worry, with the three of us working together, they'll have to win even if they want to target us."
If it were before, he would have welcomed anyone who targeted Shenyue Xingyun with open arms. But after spending time together and receiving help during that border mission, he now considers Shenyue Xingyun a true teammate.
People may still be wary, but do they really think that outsiders who want to bully them are a double-edged sword?
Seeing their reactions, Shenyue Xingyun smiled.
Thank you.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to resolve the trouble I caused."
After some time, under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, the noise in the arena suddenly subsided as clear footsteps sounded in the distance.
Shingetsu Seiun and Sarutobi Asuma seemed to sense something and looked up at the same time.
pressure.
Very obvious pressure.
The newcomer was dressed in Konoha's standard ninja uniform, with a hideous demon mask on his face. A chakra fluctuation far exceeding that of a genin was released without any concealment, and a cold, suffocating feeling instantly spread through the corridor.
"Everyone, enter the examination room," the masked ninja announced, his voice like the tolling of an ancient bronze bell.
