Chapter 442 Uzumaki Naruto — Unexpectedly the First Ninja (Ch 442)

If we were to ask who is most concerned about the Chunin Exam right now, it would probably be Sasuke.

Because Sasuke knew in his heart that with his current strength, it was basically impossible for him to seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi.

Teacher Qiu Shan once promised him that as long as he finished the Chunin Exam, he would bring him back to the Uchiha clan to undergo the rigorous training unique to the Uchiha clan.

Instead of doing some low-level tasks that he thinks are just like playing house like now.

So after hearing what Mr. Ooyama and Kakashi said, he no longer cared about anything else and just shouted out loud.

Because he also knew very well that if he wanted to take part in the Chunin Exam, he still needed the approval of Kakashi, his nominal teacher, before he would be eligible to participate.

And now that Mr. Yamaguchi is right next to him, Kakashi will definitely not disobey Mr. Yamaguchi’s advice.

When Kakashi heard what Sasuke said, he patted his forehead helplessly. He naturally knew how much Sasuke wanted to take part in the Chunin Exam, but this kind of thing was not something he could completely decide. He could only say helplessly:

“Sasuke, I know you’re anxious.

However, as a ninja, you need to be able to work as a team, so if you want to participate in the Chunin Exam, you can only do so if all members of your team 7 agree to participate.”

When Sasuke heard Kakashi’s words, he immediately turned his gaze to Uchiha Qiushan. Seeing that his teacher nodded slightly, he immediately looked at Naruto beside him.

Naruto naturally heard what they said, and a flash of panic flashed across his eyes, but soon, the look in his eyes was replaced by determination.

In the face of Sasuke’s expectant expression, he showed a brilliant smile, pointed his thumb at the forehead protector on his forehead, and said:

“Sasuke, no problem. I am also planning to take part in the Chunin Exam. After hearing what Uncle Qiushan just said, as well as the ninjas from the Sand Village and the Mist Village, I want to let them know my name, Uzumaki Naruto.”

After hearing Naruto’s agreement, Sasuke didn’t bother to complain about what he said. He immediately looked at Uzumaki Karin who had been silent beside him. Although he didn’t urge her, the expectant look on his face was very obvious.

Uzumaki Karin naturally understood what Sasuke meant. After looking at Uncle Qiushan, she saw that he was smiling and had no intention of stopping her. She looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were looking at her, and finally nodded gently and said in a low voice:

“I also want to try and see if I can make some progress in speaking.”

There was one thing Uzumaki Karin hadn’t said yet. She wanted Uncle Qiushan to look at her with new eyes and know that she was no longer a child.

However, she still didn’t have the courage to say this in public, so she just lowered her head with a slightly blushing face and said nothing more.

After getting the consent of Naruto and Karin, Sasuke could no longer conceal the urgency on his face. He looked at Kakashi and said anxiously:

“Teacher Kakashi, our team 7 has decided to take part in the Chunin Exam. Please register for us.”

Kakashi had actually guessed the result a long time ago, so after seeing everyone’s performance, he was not too surprised. He just nodded and said:

“Okay, I will report this matter to Hokage-sama.”

Seeing that Kakashi’s side had been dealt with, Uchiha Qiushan looked at Shikamaru and others on the side. Although they didn’t say anything, they all knew what it meant.

Shikamaru looked at Choji and Ino beside him, swallowed his saliva after they left, and asked unwillingly:

“Teacher Qiu Shan, um, can I give up?”

Although Shikamaru can be said to be the one with the highest IQ among these cockroaches, his personality is too naughty and he is lazy all day long, which makes people want to give him some slack.

Uchiha Qiushan was no exception. After hearing what Shikamaru said, he smiled and said with his eyes slightly narrowed:

“What do you think?”

Hearing Mr. Qiu Shan’s threatening words, Shikamaru’s mouth twitched slightly. After sighing, he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and said:

“Okay, okay, Mr. Qiu Shan, all of us in Class 10 will also participate in this Chunin Exam.”

After Shikamaru finished speaking, he looked at Choji and Ino beside him and asked:

“You have no objection, right?”

Although the 10th team appears to be hot-tempered and chattering all day long, Ino has the final say.

In fact, these are just superficial. The one who can really make the decision is Shikamaru, who possesses a super high IQ.

Because both Ino and Choji grew up with Shikamaru and naturally understand his abilities very well.

So, when Shikamaru makes a decision, neither Ino nor Choji will object.

This time, after hearing what Shikamaru said, Choji nodded and said as a matter of course:

“I listen to Shikamaru. I’ll do whatever Shikamaru says.”

Ino next to him rolled her eyes proudly and continued:

“I was planning to participate in this Chunin Exam. Since we need to form a team together, I will reluctantly go with you to participate in this competition.

Also, Shikamaru, please work harder, or I will complain to Uncle Shikaku.”

Although Ino calls herself a tsundere, she actually cares a lot about her two companions, she’s just being stubborn.

Uchiha Qiushan, who was standing next to him, nodded with satisfaction when he saw Shikamaru was so sensible, and then said to Kakashi next to him:

“Kakashi, the 10th team I lead will also participate in this Chunin Exam. When you go to deliver the mission later, can you help me report their names together?”

Hearing Uchiha Qiushan’s words, Kakashi nodded obediently and said:

“Master Qiu Shan, please rest assured. I will definitely report Shikamaru and the others.”

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Qiushan didn’t say anything else. He just patted Kakashi on the shoulder again and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

After Lord Qiu Shan disappeared, Kakashi stared blankly at the nearby Konoha Village and sighed:

“Another Chunin Exam.”

At this moment, Naruto, who had been enduring, finally couldn’t hold it back anymore and asked curiously:

“Hey, hey, Kakashi-sensei, what is going on with this Chunin Exam?”

Hearing Naruto’s words, everyone looked at him in surprise. Kakashi and Sasuke’s mouth corners twitched violently, while Shikamaru covered his face with his hands helplessly.

It should be said that Naruto is indeed the unexpected number one ninja. Now he has signed up for the Chunin Exam with a solemn vow, but he knows nothing about the Chunin Exam. Should we say, he is worthy of being Uzumaki Naruto?
