While Sanada and the others hold a meeting to discuss the Chunin exam, the world is trying to get back on track.
By such a coincidence, Naruto was able to convince Sakura to walk with him, and along the way, they met the sand trio who had just arrived in Konoha.
And just like in the anime, it all started with Konohamaru's misunderstanding in the relationship between Sakura and Naruto.
Sakura, angered by Konohamaru's words, pursues Naruto and Konohamaru, who "accidentally" hit Kankuro, and so it goes.
A BANG!!!!
Konohamaru hit someone twice his height.
He then looked up only to see two people, one strange person in black and a beautiful blonde next to him.
"That hurts, you little bastard!" Said the man while lifting up Konohamaru's collar.
"Non't we get scolded." The girl said to the man. However, from his tone of voice, it seemed like he didn't really care.
If Sakura in the anime was shy and instantly panicked upon seeing this scene, Sakura here reacted differently.
After spending a lot of time with Sanada, he begins to realize the reality of the Ninja world, and things don't always look as bright as they seem.
Therefore, when he saw two strange people walking in Konoha and trying to make trouble, the first thing he did was to be careful.
Of course, Konohamaru's matter was important, but the priority on his mind was to quickly figure out what the two freaks were up to.
Despite this, Naruto could not see this, and when he saw Konohamaru being held like that by the strange man, he instantly became furious.
"Hey, fat! Release her!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards the man in black.
But at this moment, Sakura noticed that the man was trying to bring something out.
He flashed and reappeared next to the man, holding the man's hand and stopping him from trying anything strange.
"We are the Konoha Genin, and if you're going to pull something weird here, don't blame me for being a little rude!" Sakura said that now looks serious.
(*Sigh*Why are all the other men so weird and temperamental? Why can't they be more like Sanada sensei?) thought Sakura silently in her heart, but of course, she did not show it on her face.
The situation becomes very tense when the man realizes that he cannot move his hand held tightly by Sakura. Sakura's strength had improved greatly with the basic physical cards, and it wasn't something that the strange man could handle.
The face of the man in black clothes looked grim. Never once in his wildest mind would he be threatened by such a delicate-looking girl. He was ready to make a big move, but suddenly, a voice stopped him from going any further.
"What are you doing in our village?" Sasuke appears to steal all the limelight. He was sitting on a tree branch in a cool position, and combined with his handsome face, very deadly to the girls.
Sasuke's performance was supposed to bring enough deterrence for people to stop.
Sakura was ready to let go of her hand, but then she felt something she had never felt before.
An incredible bloodlust came towards them!
Sakura quickly took a step back and turned her gaze towards the great bloodlust. There, he finds a strange man with a pumpkin on his back hanging upside down on a tree.
(Who the hell is this guy!?) Sakura thought deeply in her heart. The horror of this man was not something men of their age should have!
" Kankuro, stop it! You're embarrassing our village!" The man hanging upside down on the tree said and caused the others to change their expressions as they reconsidered their actions.
"Nadly..."
In the end, the two men revealed their respective names. The name of the man in black was Kankuro, the girl was Temari, while the man with the gourd behind him was called Gaara.
Kankuro was still a little dazed as Gaara asked in a cold voice..
"Why do you think we came to the leaf village?"
Kankuro tried to reprimand, but one sentence from Gaara immediately stopped him from saying anything more.
"Shut up, I'll kill you."
The rest is the same as in anime.
Gaara takes Kankuro and Temari away just to face some questions from Sakura.
Temari then begins to explain about Chunin's exam and how they came to Konoha to follow her.
{AN: An explanation of the Chunin Exam from the wiki if you want to read it again.
The Chunin Selection Exam (Chunin Senbatsu Shiken) is an opportunity for genin to be promoted to chunin. The structure of the exam and the evaluation process differs from one exam to the next so that genin cannot come prepared. The village originally held their own individual exams. After the Third Shinobi World War, exams open to all villages began to be held once every two years, with villages taking turns hosting them. This joint exam improves inter-village relationships, brings up-and-coming ninjas to clients, and creates opportunities to gamble.
Although the exam, especially the final round match, is designed to be the ultimate "winner" success does not guarantee promotion or failure does not stand in the way; it does; if the observing ninja and daimyo felt the genin showed the qualities necessary for chunin, the genin would be promoted regardless of how they were placed in the exam. For this reason it is quite possible for all the finalists to pass, or even none of them to qualify. Being a winner only expands the chances of participants to show their quality in the next game.}
The curtain closes with Sasuke and Gaara mentioning each other by name.
Of course, this time Gaara is also a little interested in Sakura, who can stop Kankuro, but in the end, he thinks that Sakura is just a girl and is not worth paying attention to.
