Chapter 190 Rock Lee: Oh! No!
"I'm sorry, it's our fault."
Maki, with Temari by his side, bowed and apologized to Kakashi and Konohamaru.
Konohamaru walked over with his head held high, looked at the ugly-looking Baki, curled his lip, and said, "Hmm, I forgive you.
You need to keep an eye on your village's ninjas. How can their manners be so low?"
Baki wasn't upset by Konohamaru's words; after all, how could an adult get angry with a child?
He simply stared at Kakashi's body, waiting for Kakashi's reply.
"Well, since Konohamaru has forgiven you, I won't say anything more. But this is still Konoha, so don't bring your village's ways here."
Kakashi nodded and said to Baki.
After all, the other party is a coalition village participating in this Chunin Exam, so they can't afford to make things too tense.
But releasing them directly would make Konoha seem weak, so a delicate balance is a good approach.
Baki left with Temari, looking displeased. Hinata rushed over after seeing the fight begin, but after realizing that Naruto was easily defeated, she simply walked over slowly.
"Hey, what happened?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto standing with Konohamaru and asked.
Naruto shook his head and said to Sasuke, "It's nothing. Someone from Sunagakure attacked Konohamaru, and then another one came out, and I sparred with them."
Although he won, Naruto wasn't in a good mood.
That Calabash Brothers looks just like my younger self.
"Gaara?"
"Naruto-kun?"
Hinata gently called out to Naruto, her soft hand grasping Naruto's tightly clenched one.
"Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
Naruto gave Hinata a somewhat forced smile.
If I didn't have a teacher, Sasuke, or Hinata, would I have become like Gaara?
"Hey, who are you? There's no need to question your past because of others."
Sasuke said to Naruto that although he had not met the Jinchuriki, he knew about Naruto's childhood.
Without their existence, it's unimaginable how terrifying Naruto and Sasuke would have become.
And that Jinchūriki is most likely like that.
After all, he had exchanged a few blows with Naruto.
"Huh? Oh, ptooey, what are you talking about? I was just thinking about what to eat tonight, I have an exam tomorrow."
Naruto shook his head, somewhat arrogantly denying Sasuke's guess.
"Tch, let's go for barbecue tonight."
Sasuke didn't even want to talk about Naruto anymore. This guy, he was clearly thinking about this kind of thing, but he was still being stubborn. Honestly.
But that didn't stop him from replying to Naruto.
"Great! Kakashi-sensei, you can treat us then."
Karin nodded in agreement with both hands and feet, and even pulled her wallet along.
Kakashi: I don't want to become a wallet!
"Um, I probably won't have much time tonight."
Kakashi scratched his head. After all, it was a time of day with a lot of people, and even high-level combatants like himself were required to patrol the surrounding area or lead important figures on tours.
The reason I'm able to talk to Naruto and the others now is because something just happened, and we just happened to run into each other.
"It's okay, as long as my wallet arrives."
Karin winked playfully at Kakashi and stretched out her hand at the same time.
Kakashi: So, Wallet-kun isn't actually me, but my wallet?
Silently, he took his wallet out of the bag at his waist, took out about a thousand taels, and handed it to Karin.
Eat sparingly.
Although he knew that saying these words was useless, since they had seen the huge sum of money he had obtained in the Land of Waves last time, Kakashi still wanted to put up a fight.
"Okay, don't worry, Kakashi-sensei, just let go."
Karin used her strength to snatch the banknotes from Kakashi's hand.
Sigh, I was originally planning to spend the money on a signed copy of Icha Icha Paradise.
Kakashi looked at the money that had been taken away, sighed softly, and then turned and left.
Why does turning around bring another wave of heartache? Because I've lost my money.
"Remember to bring your admission ticket to the exam venue on time tomorrow, there will be a lot of people."
Kakashi left a message and then went to continue following Maki.
During this time, he would follow Machi, both as a guide and as a form of supervision.
After all, there are too many people in Konoha now.
"Alright everyone, let's get the barbecue started."
"Wuhu~"
.....
The next day~
Naruto got out of bed. Since everyone had an exam coming up, they decided to go home and sleep, since they weren't training anyway.
They gathered early at the 4th training ground and then headed towards the school.
Since the first exam was a written test, it was perfectly reasonable for the exam to be held at the school.
"Oh! Sakura-chan, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you. Please go out with me."
As soon as Naruto entered the training ground, he heard the voice of the little kappa.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Rock Lee was kneeling on one knee in front of Sakura, proposing his love.
"No, I refuse."
Sakura rejected Lee without hesitation, but her teammates Kiba and another guy stood in front of her and blocked Lee's way.
"No!!! Why?!"
Tenten covered her face and pulled Lee back. Lee gripped the floor with his hands, tears streaming down his face, and looked at Sakura behind Kiba and Shino, asking a question.
"Because your eyebrows are too thick."
Sakura's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Lee's heart.
"Hey, Lee, are you alright?"
Looking at the petrified Lee every day, he asked with some concern.
Although she was very unhappy that Lee confessed his feelings to the girl he fell in love with at first sight, and felt that being on the same team as him was a huge loss of face, Lee was still her teammate after all.
Besides, we've been classmates for six or seven years, so I'd naturally care about them.
"It's okay. Youth is only interesting when it's challenging, especially youth for love."
The petrified Lee regained his youthful appearance, then looked at Sakura and said loudly, "Sakura, I will definitely make you promise me with my actions... Awoo."
Tenten punched Lee right in the head. How could she be worried that he would be discouraged by a rejection?
Honestly, we should really keep Lee on a leash.
Tenten gave Neji a look, and then Neji took a disposable paper ball out of his bag and stuffed it into Lee's mouth.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah."
Tenten gave Sakura and the others an awkward smile and apologized to them.
"Sorry, my teammate was just too... well, don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she tapped Lee on the head again, and then she and Neji carried Lee into the examination hall.
