Chapter 86: The Third Exam Begins, Narumaru's Fight

  Today is the opening day of the third exam of the Chunin Selection Exam, and from early morning, Konohagakure has become lively. The big names and important figures from various countries have all arrived at the venue where the third exam will be held. At the same time, Naruto is also holding his own "Bull Festival" just like in the original story. Meng Ling had already arrived at the venue with Sakura and Umino, but her heart was not there. She knew what would happen today, so she was eager to try.

  The sky is azure, the clouds are tender and white, Kakashi's arrival is always unexpected, while Kakashi... is always late.

  Naruto slipped into the venue just like in the original, causing an eerie silence on site, with everyone's attention drawn to this blond-haired boy who had just entered.

  "It seems that Naruto is in high spirits today, and has already begun his warm-up exercises." Mui looked at the silly smiling Naruto below and said to Sakura.

  "But why hasn't Sasuke-kun arrived yet? Has something happened to him?" However, when she saw that Naruto had safely arrived at the venue, Sakura's thoughts were completely focused on Sasuke, who was still late.

  "You don't have to worry about that, Kakashi-sensei is helping Sasuke train in a secret location. This time, both Kakashi-sensei and I have put in a lot of effort on Naruto and Sasuke." Mei said with a light pat on Sakura's shoulder.

  "Hmm, that's good. I thought Sasuke had been taken by Orochimaru already." Sakura let out a sigh of relief and said lightly.

  "Then watch now, Naruto's progress this time is quite big, you might be scared oh." Meng Ling chuckled and also recalled Naruto's gains in the past month. Not to mention the Sage Art taught by Jiraiya, even the Rasengan taught by Meng Ling was an A-level ninjutsu. This way, Naruto already had his own finishing move ahead of time, and dealing with Ning Ji's Revival should not be a big problem. Moreover, Naruto also had the Shadow Clone Technique, this cheating tool, if used well, Naruto might not need to borrow the power of the Nine-Tails Fox to defeat Ning Ji.

  "This month of training, Naruto's combat experience should have improved a lot." Mingying thought to herself. After Naruto learned the ninjutsu taught by himself and Jiraiya, Mingying took on the role of Naruto's sparring partner. Of course, Mingying wouldn't use his full strength, just creating a shadow clone to fight with Naruto, occasionally throwing some fire punches and kicking at high speed, that was all. So in this month, Naruto had been well "taken care of" by Mingying, although he returned home in disarray every time, but his gains were also great, now he could hold on for about a minute without losing to Mingying's shadow clone. It's worth noting that even if Mingying's attacks were casual, the movements were still very big.

  "It's already started, it seems that Naruto is still saying those 'I must win' words to Neji. This atmosphere is the best. But they should be here by now, right?" Miren smiled, but a cold glint shot out from his eyes as he scanned the surroundings, discovering many hidden agents mixed in with the crowd. However, according to his calculations, everyone should have arrived by now. Thinking of this, Miren closed his eyes and his spiritual sense immediately emerged, gradually enveloping the entire examination venue.

  "Found them, it's really them. But now is not the time to take action, let's just wait until they come here and then we'll talk. I should also take a good look at Naruto's progress during this period of time. If he loses now, all my efforts would be in vain." After calming down, Mei Terumi began watching Naruto's match on the field. To be honest, Naruto's current strength is probably no longer something that an average Jonin can contend with, but his foolish and naive personality still makes one worry. This also led to Neji's conclusion in "The Death of Naruto".

  "Although I've heard that you're growing stronger quickly under the guidance of Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, your experience is still only that of a beginner."

  "Alright, the rules are as stated. Now, let's begin the first match of the Chunin Selection Exams - Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuga Neji." The proctor for the third exam, Hatake Kakashi, said indifferently and stepped aside.

  As a result, Naruto said that he had to win this time and immediately threw out three Rasenshuriken, then directly charged at Neji from the front.

  "This idiot, it seems he's really stupid to the core." Meng Ling said with some helplessness, but on the side, Xiaoying had already exclaimed in shock.

  The result was the same as in the original, Naruto was still "hit" by Neji's Byakugan, but Naruto did not give up. He immediately used his most skilled ninjutsu - Shadow Clone. And when they saw Naruto use Shadow Clone, most of the ninjas on the stands let out a voice of surprise.

  "Shadow Clone Jutsu, isn't this a ninja technique that only high-ranking ninjas can use?"

  "It seems that this matter is indeed difficult to conclude."

  …………

  Although the ninjas around him were discussing it, Mengying knew that Ningci was not a character who could be solved easily. Of course, that was just Naruto's conclusion when he hadn't learned Rasengan yet. Now, Naruto not only had Rasengan as his finishing move, but also had Mengying help him cultivate Taijutsu and taught him the method to open Eight Gates. He could even borrow the power of Nine-Tails. (Because the Eight Gates in Naruto's body were forcibly broken through by Mengying, using Eight Gates wouldn't have any side effects on Naruto. With Mengying's help, Naruto had already opened the first four gates. In other words, if Naruto showed his true strength now, Ningci would absolutely be unable to keep up with his speed.)

  The most important thing is that Ningci's moves are not applicable to Naruto, who has a shadow clone. In the case of not knowing the true body, Naruto can attack Ningci at will.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  "Are you out of tricks now? Well, I'm going to take it up a notch this time. You're going to experience the true meaning of fate, and it's not something that can be decided by just one person. Eight Gates - First Gate - Open!" Naruto let out a loud roar, and his chakra instantly surged up a huge amount.

  "What? Eight Gates Escaping Technique? This isn't Little Li's..."

  "No mistake, this is the trick of thick eyebrows, but it's not his patent alone. In our team, there are people whose skills surpass Xiao Li, no, even your teacher is more powerful than you. This time I will use my full strength to defeat you." Naruto said confidently.

  "Second Seal—Release!" The chakra around Naruto grew even more intense.

  "Third Gate Open!" At this time, Might Guy's skin had already turned red.

  "The Fourth Gate — Open!" In the moment that the gate opened, Naruto's pupils transformed into those of the Nine-Tails, and at the same time, the blue chakra that had been wrapped around his body gradually turned red.

  "It seems that after Naruto opened the gate of pain, the chakra used to suppress the Nine-Tails was diverted to the battle, so the Nine-Tails' chakra has leaked out. But it's okay now, Naruto should be able to control the Nine-Tails... even with just one tail, he hasn't even formed a tail yet, Naruto is absolutely capable of controlling the Nine-Tails' power. However, this means that the Hyuga clan's little devil is in for a world of hurt. But it seems that Tsunade has also arrived here now." Mei Terumi gazed calmly at Naruto, who was already charging towards Neji, and then turned her head to glance at a certain Anbu in the corner, thinking to herself.

  "This time, I'm definitely going to win!" Naruto shouted loudly.

  "Hakke no Kokoro - Tenkai." At this critical moment, Neji also stopped hiding and directly used his "Absolute Defense". However, this move was still somewhat difficult for Naruto who had already opened the Eight Gates and released the Nine-Tails' chakra. Seeing that Tenkai had taken shape, Neji also used all his might, Tenkai being a technique that uses the rotating chakra around oneself to repel the opponent's attack. As a result, after a massive cloud of smoke, both Naruto and Neji flew out backwards.

  After a moment, Ning Ci was the first to climb up, but his whole body was also tattered and worn out, looking very disheveled. At this time, Ning Ci also said exactly the same words as in the original work, after telling Naruto about his experience, he declared that he would kill Naruto, this 'dragging tail'.

  "Is that so? Don't think you can see through everything with just a glance. Now, let me show you my ultimate technique - Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Might Guy's physical strength and recovery ability were indeed not to be underestimated. With a single fish-like flop, he got back up on his feet. Lying on the ground listening to Neji speak had already given him plenty of time to recover, and now Naruto's chakra had some reserve again. At the same time, the Nine-Tails' chakra once again slowly wrapped itself around Naruto's body surface.

  "Listen, Naruto! Remember that the Rasengan is a very powerful technique. Don't use it on anyone in your village unless you absolutely have to, or you might end up killing someone."

  At this time, Naruto recalled the light and casual warning words of Mei Terumi. However, the two shadow clones continued to release Rasengan nonstop.

  "This time, let you, the so-called 'genius', see clearly whether I'm a drag or not - Rasengan!" The shadow clone of Naruto had disappeared, but at this moment, in his hand appeared a rotating ball of chakra made up of nine tails. The next moment, Naruto charged directly towards Neji's direction.

  "Not good, this move is too dangerous, use Return to Heaven immediately." Ning Ci saw Naruto flying towards him at high speed and also immediately used his "Absolute Defense".

  The next moment, Naruto's Rasengan collided with Neji's Backflip...
