Chapter 129: Nohara Lin in my arms

Chapter 129: Nohara Lin in my arms (fourth update)
"It's been solved. It's a toad."

Hanekawa reappeared in front of Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai and said.

"As expected of you!"

Nohara Rin put away her kunai and exclaimed.

"With Hanekawa here, we can get first place without doing anything."

Yuhi Kurenai said with a smile on her face.

"The third level is a one-on-one battle. I can't help you."

Hanekawa raised his hand, tapped her forehead, and said, "Let's go, don't waste time."

After he finished speaking, he leaped up and walked to the front again.

Yuhi Kurenai waited until Nohara Lin ran away before quickly catching up.

The three people formed a vertical line and ran in the Death Forest.

An hour later, Nohara Lin landed on the ground and was about to jump up when suddenly the ground shook.

The ground cracked, revealing a huge mouth that bit down at her.

Caught off guard, Nohara Lin lost her balance and fell down with a look of panic on her face.

"Lin!"

Xihi Kurenai hurriedly accelerated, but it was too late.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed, and he picked up Nohara Lin and ran out.

It was Hanekawa.

He never expected that this toad would act like Voldemort and launch underground attacks.

Besides, there is another reason.

His perception ninjutsu was rather ordinary, and was mainly used to sense movements on the ground, so he ignored the toad.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Seeing this, Xi Ri Hong reacted quickly, stopped and formed seals with her hands.

The water flew out and condensed into a water dragon, smashing towards the big toad underground.

The big toad sensed the danger and jumped directly into the air.

It looked at Xihihong and spit out a big water ball.

Instantaneous technique!
Xi Ri Hong quickly retreated.

The big water ball fell to the ground, splashing countless water.

Water Style: Water Bullet!
Xihi Hong raised her hands and swept the water cannon like bullets towards the big toad.

Although it tried its best to dodge, it was too big and was hit and screamed.

Hanekawa took one look and knew that the big toad was no match for Yuhi Kurenai.

He looked down at Nohara Rin in his arms.

She closed her eyes at this time, and her legs wrapped in dark red over-the-knee socks were tightly closed and resting in his arms.

And her hands subconsciously hugged his waist.

"It's okay, Lin."

Hanekawa spoke up.

The frightened Nohara Lin gradually came to her senses when she heard the familiar voice.

She moved her hands subconsciously and found that she was grabbing Hanekawa's clothes.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Nohara Lin quickly let go of her hand and left his arms.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, her face slightly red, and her little hands unconsciously adjusted her pink skirt.

This was the first time she was so close to a boy of the same age, even though it was in an emergency situation.

Hanekawa nodded slightly, ignored her, and rushed to Yuhi Kurenai in an instant.

"I surrender!"

When the big toad saw him, he said simply, "You guys go."

It was already having a hard time beating Yuhi Kurenai, and with the addition of Hanekawa, it would definitely be defeated.

"no!"

Xihi Kurenai snorted and said, "You almost ate Lin just now."

"I don't eat people, I just want to scare her."

The big toad shook his head and said, "I am the toad from Myoboku Mountain. I only eat insect food."

"Never mind it, let's continue with the exam."

Hanekawa grabbed Yuhi Kurenai's wrist, shook his head and said.

The big toad turned and ran away after hearing this.

"Lin, are you okay?"

Yuhi Kurenai looked at Nohara Lin and asked with concern.

"I am fine."

Nohara Lin glanced at Hanekawa and said gratefully, "Thanks to Hanekawa."

"That's good."

Xihihong didn't say anything more and said, "Let's go! We will definitely win first place this time!"

The three of them ran out again.

Two hours later, they finally saw Jiraiya.

“That’s the end!”

Yuhi Kurenai perked up and said.

"It looks like we're number one."

Hanekawa glanced around but didn't see any other teams.

"Great!"

Nohara Lin showed a happy smile on her face.

"Congratulations."

Jiraiya clapped his hands and said, "You dealt with the two toad attacks perfectly, that's really good."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiraiya."

Hanekawa said with a smile.

"I will announce the rules for the third level after the other six teams have arrived."

Jiraiya nodded slightly and said.

Just as Hanekawa was about to answer, he heard a burst of intense footsteps.

"Youth charge!"

Might Guy turned into a green whirlwind and rushed through the forest.

Hatake Kakashi followed behind him with an expressionless face.

“The first place is definitely ours!”

Uchiha Obito said excitedly.

He finally defeated Hanekawa!

As his vision cleared, he saw Jiraiya.

But at the same time, Hanekawa, Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai were also discovered.

The expression on Uchiha Obito's face froze instantly.

Do not!
How could this be?
"pity."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head, but without much emotion.

After all, he was used to losing to Hanekawa.

As for Might Guy, the more he loses, the braver he becomes, just like an indestructible cockroach.

"hateful!"

The sound of breaking wind sounded.

Asuma Sarutobi appeared.

Behind him were Uchiha Shisui and Shizune.

Although they were traveling at full speed, they were still a step slower in the end.

Not only did he fail to get the first place, he even missed the second place.

"As expected, it's Hanekawa-senpai."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said.

"Humph!"

Sarutobi Asuma said unwillingly, "It was just a little bit."

"It's almost a loss."

Yuhi Kurenai said with a smile.

"..."

Asuma Sarutobi was shaking with anger. Is it easy for him?

Six years! Not a single win!
The most important thing is that we can’t even win in a team battle, let alone in an individual battle.

"Lin?"

Uchiha Obito called out twice, but Nohara Rin didn't respond.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wave it in front of her.

"What's wrong? Obito."

Nohara Lin came back to her senses and asked somewhat embarrassedly.

She has not yet recovered from the previous attack, especially she can't help but think of the scene of Hanekawa saving her.

"fine."

Uchiha Obito smiled and said, "Congratulations on winning first place."

"It's not my fault."

Nohara Lin shook her head and said, "It's Hong and Hanekawa."

"..."

Uchiha Obito suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

Why is it Hanekawa again?

Time passed as everyone chatted.

Two hours later, the first seven teams had all arrived, with a total of twenty-one candidates.

Except for Hanekawa and the others, the rest of the people were injured to varying degrees.

After all, the toads in Myoboku Mountain are quite powerful.

Moreover, Jiraiya specially selected them according to their strengths to ensure that it could serve as a training for them.

Except for Hanekawa, Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai team.

Jiraiya could find a toad that could rival them, but that would be too far-fetched.

In the Chunin Exam, a Jonin-level toad was created.

If Tsunade finds out, he will definitely die a miserable death.

"Congratulations!"

Jiraiya said loudly, "You seven teams will enter the third stage, which is the individual battle. The only rule is to win!"

"When does it begin?"

Matt Guy asked impatiently.

"It will be held in Konoha Village in three days."

Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "The second level ends here, disband!"

"Yes."

Everyone said in unison.

Bang.

Jiraiya and all the toads disappeared.

Everyone left as well.

"Hanekawa, thank you for today."

Nohara Lin took a few steps forward and expressed her gratitude.

"You've already thanked me, no need to thank me again."

Hanekawa turned his head, looked into her brown pupils, and said.

Nohara Lin avoided his gaze as if she had been electrocuted.

"Hanekawa, should we just go home or go find Tsunade-sensei?"

Yuhi Kurenai reached out and tugged at Hanekawa's sleeve and asked.

"Go tell the teacher."

Hanekawa said after a moment's thought.

"Ah."

Yuhi Kurenai glanced at Nohara Lin and continued walking forward.

It didn't take long before they arrived at Tsunade's house.

"We are back, teacher."

Hanekawa opened the door and walked into the living room.

"How's the score?"

Tsunade was sitting on the sofa, watching TV out of boredom.

“Naturally the first place!”

Yuhi Kurenai said with a smile on her face.

"good."

Tsunade wasn't surprised and asked, "When does the third stage start?"

"Three days later."

Hanekawa sat across from her and asked, "Teacher, do you have any plans?"

"No."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "It's too late to train hard for three days. It's better to rest and recharge your energy."

"Too."

Hanekawa looked at Nohara Lin and Yuhi Kurenai and said, "Let's go back."

"They go back, you stay."

Tsunade suddenly said.

"is teacher."

Nohara Lin and Yuhi Kurenai looked at each other, turned around and left without asking any more questions.

"Are you going to the casino again?"

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"..."

Tsunade hesitated to speak.

She felt uncomfortable being predicted so easily.

"Can't you?"

Tsunade raised her feet, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and just stared at him.

For some reason, Hanekawa felt that she looked aggrieved.

He smiled and said, "Not impossible."

Tsunade immediately jumped off the sofa, took a few steps to his front, grabbed his hand, and walked out.

"and many more."

Hanekawa pulled her back and said, "It's snowing outside. I'll get you a thick coat."

Tsunade stopped and watched him walk into her room, feeling a little dazed.

This little kid has finally grown up!
……

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the comic book "The Healer's Redo Life" and let out a long sigh.

It’s been a long time since Thunder and Fire Sword released a new work.

"Old man!"

Just then, a figure flipped in from the window.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled and subconsciously put the comic book away.

"What are you looking at? Are you spying with the crystal ball again?"

Jiraiya asked with envy, "When will you pass the crystal ball to me?"

"Wait until you become Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and said, "What do you mean by peeping? I'm just inspecting the Leaf Village!"

"improper!"

Jiraiya refused without hesitation and said, "Hokage is too much trouble, you should go find Tsunade or Orochimaru."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at him and asked, "How did the Chunin Exam go?"

"It's all here, take a look for yourself."

Jiraiya casually tossed him a scroll.

"As expected, Hanekawa is number one."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scroll and nodded with satisfaction.
