Chapter 58 — Warm Eyes, Chance Encounter with Karin
After Ino’s team left,
Naruto’s group and Hinata’s group also started heading for the central tower.
But they didn’t move very fast. After two hours, they still had about one-third of the way to go.
“Let’s take a break here.”
It was almost noon, and they had just reached a small stream.
Considering Sakura’s stamina, Naruto decided it was a good place to rest.
Along the way, they did...

“These two girls are seriously a pain…”
“What did you just say?!”
Sakura and Ino turned to look at Shikamaru at the same time, their eyes full of murderous intent. Shikamaru instantly felt guilty and took a step back.
“N-nothing…”
“Hmph!”
The two girls snorted coldly and glared at him like a warning—then went right back to fighting.
Shikamaru wiped the sweat from his ...

Chapter 56: The Hell-Seeing Jutsu – Naruto vs Orochimaru
“To be able to use the Sharingan like that at your age... as expected of someone from the Uchiha clan. I really do want you...”
Orochimaru slithered out of a tree, a strange smile on his face.
After testing Sasuke just now, he was already convinced of his strength and talent.
Clap!
Orochimaru quickly formed a hand sign.
In that moment—
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto all felt their bodies fre...

While Sasuke was fighting Orochimaru, several other ninja squads quietly gathered nearby, all with their own plans.
“Where did this ninja from the Hidden Grass come from? He’s got Sasuke completely on the ropes!” Ino stared at Orochimaru, grinding her teeth.
“No matter where he’s from, we shouldn’t get involved. That guy is way beyond what we can handle,” Shikamaru warned Ino,...

Orochimaru had been watching Naruto and Sasuke the whole time.

A kid who even the younger Uchiha brother trusts—just how strong could he become?
Even though he was still obsessed with the power of the Sharingan, maybe a genius like Naruto could be a good backup option in the future.
Simply put—Naruto had become a candidate.

Even though what Naruto said earlier sounded cool, now that they were really about to face half the teams in the exam, she couldn’t help feeling nervous.<...
