After receiving Iruka's explanation of the meaning of [Heaven and Earth]scroll, they came to a lounge.
It wasn't until this time that Sasuke and Sakura understood why Iruka said they were the second place, because there were already three people sitting inside.
They saw Gaara sitting on the ground with his arms folded and his eyes closed, meditating, because he was related to One Tail Jinchūriki, and he was afraid that the monster in his body would occupy his mind since he was a child, so Gaara suffered from insomnia (cannot sleep peacefully) since he was a child. It's also the reason why his eye circles are black.
It can only be said that he is a poor child, how painful it is to suffer from insomnia, and it is difficult to fall asleep so that his body won't be controlled by Shukaku all the time.
Temari was sleeping with a fan over her head.
Kankuro is arranging the materials for making the puppet.
Because his beloved puppet crow, when he met Naruto for the first time, his arm was pinched by Naruto, so he had to find some materials to replace it temporarily.
He kept cursing Naruto in a low voice, saying that after meeting him, he must give him some color to see or something.
Hearing that, Gaara frowned, wondering what he was most worried about? Just like the monster he hated inside his body.
Just as he was about to have an outbreak, someone came in. He turned his head and saw that it was still an acquaintance.
"As expected of you, Uzumaki Naruto, you did not disappoint me."
Gaara said coldly.
Temari sat up, alert at the same time as Kankuro.
"You guys are pretty fast."
Naruto said lightly as the three of them sat down to rest on the other side, and the two sides were far apart.
…
"Kakashi, you are here, I didn't expect your students to pass the exam so quickly!"
Guy gave a thumbs up to Kakashi who came back. It seems that outside the examination room of the first round of exams that day, Kakashi was right. The three of them, especially Naruto, are very strong. No wonder Kakashi is so confident.
Damn it! I lost again!!
Guy burst into tears, watching Kakashi who ignored him.
"It seems we can relax now. With Naruto here, Orochimaru's plan should be disrupted."
Asuma sat down on the chair and said with a sigh of relief.
Now that the Nine Tails Jinchūriki is in this tower, unless Orochimaru loses his mind, he won't come here alone to single out so many Jōnin who stay here, the old man can also rest assured for the time being.
"Yeah, Naruto and the others were faster than I imagined, and luckily they snatched the scroll from someone on the first day and passed the exam smoothly."
Kakashi happily sat down beside him.
Now their task is to stay here, watch Naruto, ensure his safety, and be ready to go out at any time if they encounter any problems in the next exam
But as Asuma said, as long as there are no problems with Naruto, basically the exam can go on smoothly.
Now let's see if the Third Hokage can successfully find Orochimaru hidden in the dark.
"Naruto, do you still have your ramen?"
When it was time for dinner, Sasuke asked, although he had eaten ramen for two days, this one was much more delicious than a food pill.
"Ah, there is more."
Naruto had been lying down and sleeping just now, and when he heard what Sasuke said, he also felt hungry, so he immediately took out the scroll and clapped his hands.
Boom!
Three bowls of fragrant ramen appeared on the scroll, and besides that, there were three grilled fish.
"Naruto, how much food do you have?" Sakura asked, swallowing.
"Enough for ten days."
On the other side, the Gaara trio who suddenly smelled the fragrance opened their eyes and looked at Naruto and the others silently.
Unable to bear it any longer, Kankuro took out a Food Pill and ate one, then handed one to Gaara and Temari.
Looking at the food pill in their hands, and looking at the delicious and hot ramen on the opposite side, Gaara and Temari are very disgusted, but they have to eat it, or they will be even more hungry.
"Let's eat this first, the exam is over in three days, and then we will eat something better."
Kankuro patted his stomach and said.
The Food Pill started to take effect, although it could make him full, he still swallowed his saliva.
So hungry!!
"If you don't mind, let's eat together? I still have a lot here."
Naruto said, took out three bowls of ramen again, and said to Gaara side.
Temari turned to look at Gaara, waiting for him to make up his mind, while Kankuro looked disdainful, who do you think Gaara is?
"Although we are rivals, we have all passed the exam now, before the next duel, it's okay to have a meal or something together."
"Hmph, what nice words, who knows if you will poison... Gaara!?"
Kankuro looked at Naruto coldly, and speculated maliciously, but before he finished speaking, Gaara stood up and walked towards Naruto, Temari saw it, and threw the ration pill in her hand to Kankuro, and followed him.
"Hey, you... you!?" Kankuro looked at the two dully, why did you betray so quickly!!
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. With my strength, I don't even bother to do such lowly things."
Naruto pushed three bowls of ramen and three grilled fish in front of the two people who had already sat down, and Kankuro followed after all.
"I trust you." Gaara nodded.
"Itadakimasu!" Temari couldn't help it anymore.
"Thank you." Gaara thanked politely and started eating too.
Speaking of it, Gaara, who has no killing intent, is actually quite normal.
"This one...don't you want to eat? It's going to be cold." (Naruto)
"I.....I. just took a Food Pill, and I'm not hungry for now..." Kankuro wanted to cry but had no tears!
Why didn't you invite me earlier! Did you do it on purpose!!
"In that case, I will eat your part for you."
Gaara said as he plan to get the ramen in front of Kankuro.
"Do you want fish?" Temari asked Gaara.
Gaara shook his head.
"Then... I'll help too… "
Kankuro: Whoa whoa whoa!
In the following time, more and more people joined the dinner party.
For example, Kiba, Hinata, and Shino who arrived on the third day.
Shikamaru, Chōji, Ino, Neji, Lee, and Tenten who arrived on the fourth day.
All the new members of Konoha's class are here.
"Naruto, another bowl!" Chōji, who knew that Naruto had a lot in stock, was not too polite.
"Do you want a barbecue?" Naruto said to Shikamaru and the others.
"No problem!" the little rich girl Ino readily agreed.
"Hinata, how about you?" Naruto said while silently pushing three bowls.
"Ah...thank you~ Naruto-kun!"
Hinata wanted to refuse, after all, she was too embarrassed to eat so much in front of so many people, but she didn't want to refuse Naruto-kun's kindness, so she could only thank him with a red face.
Guy: "This is youth!!"
Kurenai: "Hinata seems to like Naruto."
Asuma: "How similar to us when we were young, these boys...but Naruto can become the center, I remember he was as withdrawn as Kakashi."
Kakashi: "I'm just lazy, and Naruto has a certain temperament, which is slowly showing."
'And that's what's called [Leadership Temperament].' Kakashi thought inwardly.
