At the beginning of the Chūnin exams, Naruto couldn't contain his excitement, so much so that he even removed the sunglasses he had been wearing.
He knew that in a month, the old Third Hokage would die, and his power would skyrocket thanks to the activation of the [Shura Field].
He didn't believe anyone in Konoha could stop him.
Danzo? Definitely not!
When things got tight, he planned to defect and join the Akatsuki under the disguise of a red-haired masked woman. And when he and Pain came to destroy Konoha in the future, he would take the opportunity to kill Danzo.
Besides, his mystical abilities could completely conceal the Nine Tails' chakra in his body. Pain and Obito would never suspect that the Nine Tails Jinchūriki was right under their noses.
The next morning, Naruto, along with Sasuke and little Sakura, headed to the location of the first exam. Upon reaching Konoha's gatekeepers, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, they found the two had used genjutsu to change the room number.
At that moment, they witnessed Rock Lee clumsily getting knocked to the ground by the duo.
"Ah, I can only say that Lee is too honest," Naruto thought to himself as he threw two kunai at Kotetsu and Izumo.
The two quickly dodged, astonished, just like everyone else in the vicinity.
"Drop the illusion, what you're doing is really boring," Naruto said, spreading his hands.
Izumo, slightly irritated, sneered, "What's the use of just seeing through genjutsu? Do you think the Chūnin exams are that simple?"
With that, he lunged at Naruto, aiming to teach him a lesson with taijutsu.
Before anything could happen, Lee decisively stepped between them, stopping the attack. Naruto, in reality, hadn't intended to fight, as he already knew Lee would intervene.
Seeing the capabilities of Konoha's Genin, Kotetsu and Izumo were somewhat impressed, using the moment to retreat and open the path.
Afterward, Lee approached Sakura to confess his feelings, while Neji confronted Naruto.
Hands in his pockets, Neji asked, "Hey, you over there, what's your name?"
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto replied with a frown.
An awkward silence followed. A minute later, Neji looked at Naruto, then at Sasuke, and both simultaneously asked, "Aren't you interested in my name?"
"Not interested," Naruto replied bluntly.
Frustrated, Neji turned around angrily without even glancing at Sasuke.
"Not again! Just ignoring me because of Naruto?!" Sasuke thought furiously. Having been disregarded by Gaara the day before and now ignored by Neji, he felt humiliated.
This humiliation only strengthened his resolve to grow more powerful.
As they moved on, Lee stopped them again.
"Hey, blondie!" Lee shouted, catching up.
Amused, Naruto turned to him and asked, "What is it, thick eyebrows?"
"Do you want to have a duel with me now?" Lee asked seriously.
"You? If it's just taijutsu, I'm not your match. But in a real fight, you're not qualified to face me yet," Naruto said truthfully.
Sasuke, enraged, prepared to confront Lee but was repeatedly knocked back by Lee's superior taijutsu skills.
During the fight, Sasuke's anger and frustration caused him to awaken his Sharingan, reaching the two-tomoe Sharingan, much to everyone's surprise.
Naruto, Sakura, and Lee all had different reactions.
Naruto: "Lee, you're amazing! Thank you for helping Sasuke evolve!"
Sakura: "Sasuke has the same Sharingan as Kakashi-sensei now! He'll definitely defeat those thick eyebrows!"
Lee: "Is this the power of the legendary Uchiha? I must go all out!"
With his newly awakened Sharingan, Sasuke smirked, feeling confident.
"Whether it's genjutsu or ninjutsu, I can see through it all! Let me show you the power of the Uchiha!"
Determined, Sasuke rushed at Lee once more, ready to prove himself.
