"Please don't hurt me!"
When Naruto arrived at the back of the tree trunk, he suddenly heard a very clear and pleasant voice in his ears.
Even if the voice was mixed with a weak and fearful emotion.
For Naruto, it was still the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.
When he looked in the direction of the voice, he stood there in a daze. First, he was stunned, then his face turned slightly red.
Just as Naruto stood there, Sakura and Sasuke also came here one after another.
When the two of them saw the figure, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Behind the tree trunk, there was a huge hole.
A beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a Mist Headband, was hiding behind the trunk timidly.
The girl's skin was very white, and her delicate face looked as if it could be broken by the wind.
If it weren't for the tight Ninja costume she was wearing, I'm afraid anyone would think that she was the most favored princess of the country, symbolizing the gift and luck of God.
At this moment, her big watery eyes stared nervously at Naruto and the others, with some fear and determination in her eyes.
However, even Naruto and the others, who had experienced several killings as Ninjas, couldn't help but dispel their fighting spirit after seeing the girl in front of them.
After being stunned for a while, Naruto reacted.
He first followed the girl's gaze and glanced at the Kunai in his hand, then quickly hid it behind him, waved his hand, and stuttered.
"You … don't misunderstand … I'm not hostile to you!"
Although he said this, the girl in front of him didn't relax her vigilance. Instead, she slightly clenched her white fists, looking more nervous!
Seeing this scene, Naruto couldn't help but be stunned, and Sakura, who arrived later, couldn't help but think.
"This idiot …"
In this forest full of fierce battles, you inexplicably appeared and said that you're not hostile. No one would suspect that you have other ideas!
Xiao Ying stepped forward and smiled at the young girl as she spoke softly.
"You can rest assured. Although we're competing with each other, we've collected enough scrolls. Under normal circumstances, we won't continue to choose to fight with others."
Hearing Sakura's words, the girl looked at her with wide eyes, and the vigilance on her face relaxed a little.
Looking at the girl's white cheeks at a close distance, Sakura sighed slightly in her heart.
I'm not qualified to compare with her …
Even as a girl, I'm almost captivated by her angel-like face …
No one knew what Sakura was thinking, but at this time, the girl in front of her said nervously.
"You really won't do anything to me …"
Hearing her words, Sakura looked back at Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto nodded quickly, although Sasuke didn't say anything, obviously, he had no other opinion.
Sakura turned her head, and looked at her.
"Don't worry, my companions and I won't do anything to you …"
"As Wood Leaf's's, we'll's's …"
Hearing her words, the girl slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tightly clenched fists loosened slightly.
At this time, Sakura looked at her and asked softly.
"Can you tell us your name?"
Hearing Sakura's words, the girl with an incomparably delicate face froze for a moment, and then whispered with some hesitation.
"Shui … Shui Yue …"
Hearing her words, Naruto on the side couldn't help but blush and whisper excitedly.
"Water Moon, is your name Water Moon!?"
Seeing Naruto's approach, Water Moon couldn't help but frown slightly, and her body stepped back slightly. Her delicate little face seemed to wrinkle like a pool of spring water, and people couldn't help but feel distressed.
Seeing this scene, Sakura couldn't help but glare at Naruto fiercely, and then separated Naruto's body.
Naruto didn't notice this.
He looked at Shuiyue, then looked around, and asked in confusion.
"Water Moon, where are your companions!?"
Hearing his words, Water Moon's small face was slightly pale, and her eyes were a little dim, and she didn't speak.
Seeing this scene, several people present guessed the possible result, and tacitly didn't mention this matter again.
Sakura couldn't help but look at Water Moon with some distress at this time, and asked with concern.
"Water Moon, are you going to prepare for the next exam …?"
Hearing her words, Water Moon couldn't help but raise her head in a hurry, and her eyes were a little flustered.
Seeing this, Sakura hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, we won't do anything because of your answer, but we are a little worried about what you will do next …"
Hearing Sakura's words, Water Moon raised her head and glanced at her gently, then lowered her head again, and whispered.
"I definitely can't take the next exam by myself, but … I want to take the place of my previous companions to see the performance of other candidates …"
"In that case … it's not a waste to come here this time …"
Hearing her words, Sakura froze, then turned to look at Naruto and Sasuke.
Sasuke frowned slightly, but he was slightly silent and didn't speak.
Naruto looked at her casually and grinned.
"In that case, Water Moon, you can follow us."
"Anyway, we are going to reach the tower. If you are with us, at least you won't encounter any danger!"
Hearing his words, Water Moon raised her head with some vigilance and glanced at him, but she didn't refuse.
At this time, Sakura looked at her with concern and whispered.
"Although Naruto is sometimes a little unreliable, he is right …"
"If you continue to stay here alone, you may encounter danger. If you follow us, at least we can take care of each other …"
After saying that, she looked at Water Moon, waiting for her answer.
Water Moon glanced at Sakura and Naruto, who was smiling at her, then glanced at Sasuke, who was silent but didn't raise any objections, hesitated, and finally nodded gently.
Seeing this, Sakura showed a relieved smile.
After all, the girl in front of him was simply too stunning. If he really left her alone here, she might really encounter some danger.
Thinking of this, Sakura seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet."
As she said that, she pointed to herself and smiled.
"I'm Haruno Sakura, you can call me Sakura!"
"This idiot is …"
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Before Sakura could introduce herself, Naruto hurriedly came up and excitedly said his name.
Sakura couldn't help but curl her lips, then pointed to Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced at Water Moon faintly and said in a slightly light voice.
"Uchiha Sasuke …"
After hearing the three introduce themselves, Water Moon couldn't help but put her small hands in front of her, and her white and delicate face showed a more polite manner than the nobles, and whispered.
"Kyoka … Water Moon …"
Hearing her name, Naruto and the others were slightly stunned.
Naruto couldn't help but look at her, tilted his head, and took the lead to speak casually.
"Water Moon … your name is really strange …"
In this regard, Water Moon just smiled faintly and whispered.
"Sometimes I think so …"
