Chapter 61 People from all the villages have come?
In the picture.
Naruto was completely absorbed in the joy of mastering the new technique.
Just then, a clear female voice came from inside the house: "Naruto—"
Kushina opened the back door and stepped out of the yard, calling to her son, "Kakashi and Sasuke are here to see you!"
"Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke?" Naruto immediately stopped what he was doing and quickly went to greet them.
The mother and son arrived at the front gate of the yard together, and sure enough, they saw Kakashi leading Sasuke and Sakura waiting outside.
"Good morning, Naruto." Kakashi greeted Naruto, who was running out, with one eye half-closed.
Sasuke stood to the side with his arms crossed, but couldn't help asking, "Naruto, what were you yelling about just now? Why were you so excited?"
He heard Naruto shouting in the yard, but couldn't see what he was doing. He was curious but pretended to be calm.
"Hehe, it's a secret!" Naruto smiled mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense.
"Naruto, we're here on important business today." Kakashi said, beckoning to Naruto. "Go change your clothes, we're heading out to register for the Chunin Exams."
Chunin Exams?
Naruto was taken aback upon hearing this.
Sakura urged from the side, "Naruto-kun, hurry up and get ready to go."
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
After a while.
Naruto changed into the new clothes his mother had prepared for him, a brand-new black tracksuit, and looked himself up and down in front of the mirror.
Naruto saw a boy in the mirror wearing a brand new outfit. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look around and strike a few poses that he thought were incredibly cool.
The reflection in the mirror showed the user alternating between a cool smile with one hand on their hip and a serious expression with arms crossed, going on and on for quite a while.
So cool!
Naruto admired himself for a while with a smug look on his face.
Kushina's suppressed laughter came from outside the door: "You brat, stop being so conceited. It's not good to keep your companions waiting too long."
Naruto's secret was exposed, and he blushed. He scratched his head and chuckled twice before reluctantly pushing open the door and leaving the room.
……
The group of four walked along the wide streets of Konoha Village, heading towards the registration point for the Chunin Exams.
Konoha was much more lively than usual today, with crowds thronging the streets.
Naruto looked around and saw that colorful flags and banners had already been hung on both sides of the street, with words such as "Welcome guests from all villages for the Chunin Selection Exams" written on them.
The once familiar village is now flooded with many ninjas and merchants from outside.
Genin from various villages walked along the road in groups of three or five. Some wore headbands from Sunagakure, while others were from Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even ninjas from various small villages could be seen.
Along the roadside, many volunteers from Konoha Village were maintaining order, and occasionally two or three Uchiha clan members from the Konoha Police Department could be seen patrolling, their expressions particularly serious.
Sasuke glanced at the various out-of-town ninjas on the street, his handsome brows furrowing in displeasure. "Tch, so many out-of-towners have suddenly appeared; the security department is overwhelmed. My brother-in-law has been so busy with this these past few days that he hasn't had time for me..."
Since ninjas from other villages began arriving in Konoha, the Uchiha clan's security department, responsible for maintaining order, has faced increased pressure.
These past few days, Itachi has been leading his clansmen in working overtime to maintain order in the village.
In the dream, Sasuke, as the younger brother, naturally felt sorry for his older brother, but he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
"There are so many people and so many eyes during the Chunin Exams, it must have been really tough for the senior members of the Security Department," Sakura comforted them. "Sasuke's brother is working so hard for the safety of the village and everyone. Once this is over, I'm sure he'll have time to guide your training."
As the four chatted and laughed, they unknowingly passed through several streets and gradually arrived near the Chunin Exams registration area.
The surrounding pedestrians were more numerous, and one could faintly hear many unfamiliar accents conversing.
Just then, Naruto caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far ahead out of the corner of his eye.
He was a young ninja who was about twenty years old.
What surprised Naruto even more was that there was a middle-aged man on each side of the young man, and the three of them were chatting as they strolled through the street stalls, looking quite intimate.
"That's... Iruka-sensei?!"
Naruto almost doubted his eyes. He rubbed them and looked again. Sure enough, the young man with the scar on his nose was Iruka-sensei.
However, he was accompanied by a middle-aged couple.
The middle-aged man had a square face and his features bore a slight resemblance to Iruka, while the middle-aged woman had a kind face and a loving smile.
The three walked side by side, looking just like a family.
Naruto was surprised to see Iruka-sensei in his dream, and immediately waved excitedly, shouting, "Iruka-sensei!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
in the audience.
"Hey! It's Iruka-sensei!"
Sakura opened her eyes wide and pointed at the screen.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
Kakashi rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
The last time Hinata came, she immediately appeared in my dream.
Iruka came to the audience this time, and Iruka immediately appeared in my dream...
This doesn't seem simple at all.
Iruka was completely stunned, his eyes welling up with tears of emotion.
Because in that huge light screen, there were two figures accompanying "himself," chatting and laughing as they strolled through the streets of Konoha.
On the screen, Iruka's face was beaming with a relaxed and contented smile, looking incredibly happy.
Those are... my parents?!
Iruka's breath hitched, his eyes widened as he stared intently at the middle-aged couple on the screen, frozen in place, too excited to speak.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Iruka Umino have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
After a long pause, he said, his voice trembling, "Kakashi-senpai, what's going on? The people on the screen... the people appearing on the screen, are they really... my parents?!"
Kakashi immediately gave a brief explanation of what had happened.
"Naruto is currently experiencing a special dream," Kakashi said solemnly and slowly. "In the dream, the Nine-Tails' rampage was successfully stopped by the Fourth Hokage."
"W-what?!" Iruka was stunned.
Kakashi nodded: "Because there was no Nine-Tails attack, many things were changed... For example, your parents did not sacrifice themselves in the dream."
Upon hearing this, Iruka felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and his mind went completely blank.
He stared blankly at the image of himself surrounded by his parents on the screen, his nose suddenly stinging, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.
Over the years, he has dreamt countless times of his parents still being alive, but each time he opens his eyes, all he is greeted by are faded old photographs...
Now, that scene, which had long been a distant dream, has actually appeared right before his eyes!
Iruka covered his mouth tightly, afraid of crying out loud.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and through teary eyes he murmured, "Dad... Mom..."
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Iruka Umino have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Sakura, watching from the side, felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but tear up.
Sasuke's heartstrings were gently plucked as he watched Iruka break down in tears, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Sasuke couldn't help but recall his parents' voices and smiles. He slowly clenched his fists, and although he tried to remain calm, waves of sorrow welled up inside him.
As someone who had also lost a loved one, how could he not understand the turmoil in Iruka's heart at this moment?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
However, after a moment, Sasuke raised his head slightly, a sense of relief rising in his heart.
At least... he still has a chance to enter that dream and reunite with his parents.
