"Rustle … Rustle …"
In the Forest of Death that was filled with poisonous miasma, faint noises could be heard coming from the bushes under the towering trees.
"Puff …"
Suddenly, a figure came out of it, looking a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, there's nothing abnormal ahead …"
There was a smile on his face, and he didn't care about the leaves on his face as he said excitedly.
As his voice fell, gradually, three other figures slowly came out of the bushes.
"Hey, Naruto, you're not this enthusiastic!"
The cherry-haired girl who appeared from behind looked at the embarrassed boy in front of her and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and whisper.
Behind her, there was a beautiful girl with black hair who looked like a fairy.
If there's one regret, it's probably the ninja uniform she's wearing.
Although the ninja uniform didn't match her delicate face, it still made people's eyes light up when she wore it, giving them a different feeling.
Sakura gently turned her head to look at the girl with a concerned look.
"Shuiyue, just follow behind me."
"Relax, even if we're close to the tower, as long as we don't expose ourselves, no one will be able to find us."
Hearing Xiao Ying's words, Shui Yue nodded her head lightly. The pitiful look on her fair face was pitiful.
On the side, Naruto quickly came over and boasted.
"Don't worry, Water Moon, I'll definitely lead the way in front, and I guarantee that no one will find us. You just have to follow behind us with peace of mind!"
Hearing his words, Shui Yue hesitantly raised her head to look at him. Then, she gently nodded and made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Just such a small action made Naruto forget the pain he suffered when exploring the bushes, and he couldn't help but be full of motivation again.
Sasuke on the side just looked calm and didn't say anything.
Because they were close to the tower, Sakura guessed that there might be someone hiding in the surrounding environment, preparing to attack the ninja team here.
Although they weren't afraid of encountering other examinees, because they had Shui Yue with them, in order to avoid getting caught up in a fight, they still chose a safe method. They chose to pass through the thorny undergrowth below.
Of course, such a difficult task was naturally handed over to Naruto.
Because of his good impression of Suigetsu, Naruto didn't get tired and gladly accepted this hard work.
At this time, among the group, Sasuke gently raised his head and ignored everyone.
With a few hops, he arrived at the top of the tree trunk. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the tower in the distance. Then, he landed on the ground and said softly.
"Looking at the distance, we'll reach our destination in about half a day …"
As he said this, he glanced at Shui Yue, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a deep voice.
"Water Moon, are you sure you're just going to take a look, and not participate in the next test?"
Hearing Sasuke's words, everyone, including Water Moon, was slightly stunned.
Naruto, who had some opinions about Sasuke's unauthorized action, couldn't help but frown and look at him, dissatisfied.
"Hey, Sasuke, even if Water Moon participates in the next test, this test is a way to become a Chunin, do you want to watch her …"
Before he finished speaking, Sasuke coldly stared at him, and his words stopped abruptly.
Sasuke looked at him and said coldly.
"Idiot, don't you understand the problems in this test!?"
Hearing this, Naruto also instantly remembered what Sasuke and the examiner said before, and couldn't help but glanced at Water Moon apologetically.
"That's true … Water Moon … If it's not urgent, let's wait for the next Chunin Exam …"
Sakura also instantly understood Sasuke's meaning and looked at Water Moon in agreement.
Hearing their words, Water Moon was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on her white little face, and she whispered.
"You can rest assured, I'm just going to take a look, I really don't mean to continue the test …"
Hearing her answer, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Not because they were afraid of having one more competitor, but because they didn't know what the next test would be like.
They were worried that the beautiful elf-like girl in front of them would encounter a group of terrifying murderous perverts. If that's the case, they will definitely feel sad.
Because … Beautiful things were always incomparably moving …
At this time, after feeling the concern of Naruto and the others, Water Moon also let go of her previous restraint and vigilance, and slightly relaxed.
When they saw the smile on her face that was as delicate as melting snow, they were all stunned for a moment.
"Thank you for your concern, it's a wonderful feeling to get along with you, it seems that I haven't felt it for a long time …"
Water Moon's face showed a clear smile, looking at Naruto and the others, and said softly with a clear voice.
Hearing her words, Naruto couldn't help but froze for a moment, then looked at her, puzzled.
"Water Moon, did your former companions not treat you well?"
Hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but nudge him with her arm, indicating that he should pay attention to his words. Naruto also reacted, and couldn't help but touch his head and apologize.
"Sorry, Water Moon … I just said the wrong thing …"
In this regard, Water Moon gently shook her head, looked at him with a smile, and said with a clear voice.
"It doesn't matter, my former companions were very good to me …"
"No … it's not so much a companion, it's better to say …"
Water Moon didn't say anything after that, just smiled shyly, and the happy smile on the corner of her mouth made Naruto couldn't help but stare blankly.
Sakura, who was also a girl, glanced at Water Moon thoughtfully, then slightly relieved, and quietly glanced at Sasuke beside her.
At this moment, Sasuke said softly.
"Let's get ready to go, after all, we don't know what will happen later, and we can feel more at ease if we arrive at our destination earlier."
Hearing his words, Naruto couldn't help but frown, he didn't have a chance to ask Water Moon about the relationship between them.
The few of them could not help but slowly squeeze into the bushes and make their way towards the tower in the distance.
Without anyone noticing, Water Moon's mouth slightly evoked an unknown smile, her eyes gently glanced in a direction in the distance, and her slender palm gently waved.
