But...
Tenten actually helped.
She even made Akihara Kagura remember her kindness.
However, Tenten never cared about whom she helped, and naturally didn't know she had helped Akihara Kagura. Yet, Akihara Kagura remembered it very clearly.
In the real world, Tenten received Akihara Kagura's protection in secret. Due to her personal preference for using ninja tools in combat, after the final battle ended, Akihara Kagura gifted her many ninja tools left behind by the Six Paths Sage, placing the title of hero upon her.
"Bad people can like good people too..."
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Uchiha Sasuke was pondering, he saw a gatekeeping ninja punch Rock Lee from the third squad to the ground. When Tenten saw her teammate getting hit and rushed up to intervene, she was directly punched by that gatekeeping ninja, making her face flush red from the impact...
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke's forehead twitched.
Wait...
What's going on...
Third squad in this world is still pulling this act?
The third squad is certainly not weak, one could even say they're the strongest team in this batch of participants in the Chunin Exam. In the real world, they pretend to be weak to lower others' guard, so why do they still like pretending to be weak in this world!
"Sasuke..."
Haruno Sakura whispered beside Uchiha Sasuke: "This floor has been altered with genjutsu; it's not the registration point for the Chunin Exam. It's apparently a test of our genjutsu skills. We'll need to dispel the genjutsu to register..."
"Doesn't matter."
"Those two are definitely the examiners."
Uchiha Sasuke casually walked forward, picked up the registration form for squad seven, and handed it to the two examiners: "Hey, this is our registration form, submit it for us!"
"Heh heh heh, so naive..."
One of the examiners glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, couldn't help but laugh, and raised a hand ready to take the registration form and tear it apart.
However...
When the examiner inadvertently saw a pair of crimson Sharingan eyes, his actions froze, and he reached out to take the registration form and proceeded to walk upstairs on his own.
"Sharingan!"
A flash of surprise flickered in the eyes of the other examiner. He hurriedly raised a fist and knocked his colleague who was in the genjutsu to the ground, waking him up from the genjutsu!
"You little brat..."
"Actually using Sharingan to cast genjutsu on the examiners..."
After waking up his colleague, the examiner showed a bittersweet smile: "Originally, this was supposed to test you, but I didn't expect we'd end up being tested by you..."
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
Uchiha Sasuke waved his hand, uncaringly planning to leave with Haruno Sakura and Naruto Uzumaki: "We're not interested in heading upstairs anymore. Trouble you two examiners to submit the registration form, should be no problem, right?"
"You two..."
"I don't need to use genjutsu hints on you again, right?"
"Truly audacious little brats..."
The two examiners helplessly nodded in agreement, muttering to themselves in annoyance: "No wonder Kakashi recommended these brats..."
"Thanks then."
Squad seven swaggered off.
A group of genin eyed their departing figures with suspicion and uncertainty.
"Wait!"
Rock Lee flew through the air, his demeanor completely different from his previous timid self, landing abruptly in front of squad seven and standing in front of Haruno Sakura, giving a big thumbs up, and squeezing out a sunny smile: "I'm Rock Lee, you're Sakura, right? Can I date you!"
"No!"
"Your eyebrows are way too thick!"
Haruno Sakura's face turned dark instantly.
"..."
Rock Lee's expression visibly deflated.
However...
Just a second later...
Rock Lee's spirit immediately reignited, looking towards Uchiha Sasuke with a look that seemed to have a hint of battle intention.
"Want to challenge me?"
The dark-haired boy's face darkened immediately.
This unlucky guy still found him?
"Ah? How did you know?"
A flash of surprise appeared on Rock Lee's face.
He doesn't want to challenge Uchiha Sasuke here to avoid Neji finding out about his secret desire to challenge geniuses. Yet since Uchiha Sasuke instantly revealed it, little Rock Lee simply couldn't fake it or hide it!
"But... can I?"
Rock Lee's eyes showed a hint of plea.
"No."
Uchiha Sasuke waved his hand, avoiding entanglement with Rock Lee, and began to leave on his own accord: "I'm not interested in fighting you right now either..."
"But... sorry..."
Rock Lee stood behind Uchiha Sasuke, sincerely bowing towards him: "I have a reason to want to fight with talents like you!"
"I understand."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at the sincere Rock Lee in front of him, furrowed his brows, and earnestly advised: "But, you picked the wrong opponent today..."
Uchiha Sasuke thoroughly understands Rock Lee's obsession; this idiotic taijutsu ninja simply wants to challenge him, thinking that defeating the so-called genius ranked first at the Ninja Academy would allow him to challenge the first-ranked Hyuga Neji from the previous year...
In the real world...
He did suffer a small loss indeed.
