Chapter 233 On the Eve of the Exam
Time flew by and it was the day before the Chunin Exams.
The weather in Konoha is getting cooler, but the atmosphere is becoming more and more lively.
early morning.
Uchiha clan.
When Mikoto Uchiha opened her eyes, she could already hear the clanging sound of kunai clashing outside.
She sighed softly.
She got up, changed her clothes, and tidied her somewhat disheveled long hair.
"Sasuke, the Chunin Exams are tomorrow, and you've been training with Kakashi as a Jonin for a month now. Take a break today."
Mikoto Uchiha opened the door and gave Sasuke a helpless smile.
"Mom, I'm determined to defeat Shirokumo Aoba in this Chunin Exam!"
Sasuke's expression was very serious, yet also showed a certain degree of confidence.
He has been training in many new ninjutsu techniques with Kakashi for the past month.
In addition, there's the Uchiha clan's long-cultivated ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
Even now, he might still have a chance of winning against Bai Yun Qingye.
"Aoba..."
Upon hearing the name Shirakumo Aoba, Uchiha Mikoto was momentarily dazed.
She hadn't seen him for a while either.
When we met on the street last time, I was thinking of inviting him to my house for a meal and a chat.
But he was refused, told that he was on a mission.
This was the first time she had been rejected by Aoba.
"mom!"
Seeing his mother's reaction to Shirakumo Aoba's words, Sasuke couldn't help but let out a dissatisfied shout.
It seems that Mom cares more about Baiyun and Qingye than about herself.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto immediately snapped out of her daze and looked at her son with concern.
"Baiyun Qingye invites you to his house for dinner tonight."
Sasuke said, somewhat annoyed.
"Huh?"
Mikoto blinked in surprise, pointing to herself with her index finger. "Are you inviting me?"
"Yes, I heard they invited a lot of people, but I don't know exactly who they invited."
Sasuke nodded.
"Oh, I thought you only invited me."
Mikoto Uchiha deliberately put on a hurt expression.
Sasuke pursed his lips.
I need to go out this afternoon.
"Going to do what?"
"Uchiha Mikoto asked curiously."
Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but then told the truth, "Let's go fishing with Shirakumo Aoba and the others."
"Oh, I'll have to prepare things properly for you then."
Ignoring Sasuke's resistance, Mikoto Uchiha vigorously rubbed his face.
in the afternoon.
Mikoto Uchiha had already gone to work at the Hokage Building.
Sasuke looked at the large and small bags of things laid out in the entryway, somewhat bewildered.
He's just going fishing, not moving house.
There was also a note stuck on it.
It features a chibi-style Mikoto clenching her fist in encouragement.
In the end, he still carried these things out the door.
the other side.
Jiraiya and Naruto had just entered the gates of Konoha.
"You lecherous immortal, I'm going fishing with Aoba and the others!"
Naruto was getting impatient.
"Go on, go on... wait!"
Jiraiya initially waved his hand dismissively, but then suddenly called out to Naruto.
"what happened?"
Naruto looked completely bewildered.
Jiraiya stared, pointing at the wooden stick behind him, "You're going to use this to fish?"
Naruto nodded seriously, "I'll use this!"
"You can catch fish with this?" Jiraiya asked with a suspicious look.
"Of course, Aoba said that the strong never complain about their environment!"
Naruto waved his hand dismissively, "I'm off!"
Jiraiya watched Naruto's disappearing figure with great curiosity.
Can you catch fish with a stick?
But I only thought about it for a moment, and then I left.
He had to go see an old friend.
……
The back mountain of Konoha.
The place where Shirokumo and Aoba had agreed to meet was Naruto's secret base in the past.
There's a river here, and plenty of fish, making it a great spot for fishing.
When the white clouds and green leaves arrive at their destination.
Almost all the people who had made the appointment had arrived.
Only the boys came together this time.
After all, if girls were invited, there probably wouldn't be many boys coming.
"Aoba, Choji even brought a barbecue grill."
Shikamaru waved to Shirokumo Aoba.
"is it?"
Baiyun Qingye nodded, "Perfect, after we finish fishing, we can have grilled fish."
"Aoba!"
Naruto's voice suddenly rang out.
Shirokumo Aoba turned her head and saw Sasuke carrying large and small bags, and Naruto carrying only a wooden stick.
The contrast is quite striking.
"Aoba, it's been a long time!"
Naruto ran quickly to Shirokumo Aoba, his face beaming with joy.
Baiyun Qingye also looked Naruto over carefully and said with a smile, "It's been a long time. Naruto, you seem to have grown a little taller."
"hey-hey!"
Naruto scratched his head happily.
Shirokumo Aoba then looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, it's been a long time."
Sasuke looked speechless. "We just met yesterday."
Naruto trained outside the village with Jiraiya, Shirakumo Aoba could only be contacted through Tsunade, while Sasuke received special training inside the village.
Just go find Kakashi.
Baiyun Qingye smiled, glanced at everyone, and, sensing that everyone had arrived, said, "Then let's begin the fishing competition!"
"Yay! I'm going to get first place!"
Naruto Uzumaki raised his wooden stick and declared victory.
The others were already used to Naruto fishing with a stick.
They had already witnessed it; at least when it came to fishing, no one could beat Naruto.
Except for one person.
"Hmph! I should be number one."
Sasuke said in a displeased tone.
As members of the Uchiha clan, we should strive to be number one in every aspect.
Although he was never a match for Naruto when it came to fishing.
"Hmph! Don't forget about me!"
Kiba Inuzuka jumped out as well.
"If you keep shouting like that, you'll scare the fish away."
Shikamaru's eyes turned dead.
After casting the line, he simply stuck the fishing rod into the ground and lay down to rest.
It can be said that energy conservation has been brought to the extreme.
Choji did the same, but instead of slacking off, he went to tinker with his barbecue grill.
He planned to eat while fishing.
Seeing this, the others also found their places.
Baiyun Qingye wasn't very good at fishing, so he would just cast the hook in and leave it at that.
Waiting for willing people to take the bait.
Most of the other people were very serious.
Especially Sasuke.
His face was full of fighting spirit, secretly competing with Naruto.
However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.
"Haha! Sasuke, I've caught one!"
Not long after the line was cast, Naruto swung his wooden stick and swung a two- or three-pound fish right up.
"what?!"
Sasuke's eyes were bloodshot with rage; they hadn't even finished fighting their own group yet.
Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye smiled.
Naruto has a bit of luck to him.
About two hours later, the fishing competition was almost over.
"Haha! I caught thirty!"
Naruto's tone was quite smug.
"Damn it! I only caught ten!"
Sasuke was filled with resentment; he felt like all the fish in his nest had run off to Naruto.
"Eh? I caught eleven, exactly one more than Sasuke, hahaha!"
Kiba Inuzuka laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"what?"
