In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Then one by one, the candidates stepped forward.

Aside from Gaara, everyone else was subtly watching Natsuki's number plate, silently hoping they wouldn't draw number 2 and become Natsuki's rival.

"No number 2, no number 2, no number 2."

When Temari walked up to the box, she even put her hands together and closed her eyes in prayer.

In the Death Forest, she was thoroughly humiliated by Xia Mu, and the terrifying fangs of the Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed to still be vivid in her mind's eye.

She couldn't even defeat the opponent's summoned beast, let alone Xia Mu.

However, this action caused Kankuro and the others to take several steps back, quickly distancing themselves from this idiot so that no one would think they knew him.

Then, with a swift movement, she took out a number 5 tag.

He jumped up happily immediately:

".. Yay, it's not number 2. I don't have to face that little monster anymore."

Temari, relieved of the weight on her heart, immediately reverted to her true nature.

A pair of bright, lively eyes darted around:

"Let me see who number 6 is."

Then, it was discovered that Shikamaru, with his lazy face and deadpan eyes, was number 6.

I immediately cheered up, haha, what a listless weakling.

This is sure!

Kiba Inuzuka, who followed closely behind, let out a scream:

"How could I be number 2?"

"An internal conflict between teammates? I know Xia Mu's strength perfectly well. If I go in, wouldn't I just be feeding him to the enemy?"

The thought of losing face in front of thousands of viewers was unbearable.

Kiba Inuzuka looked utterly dejected.

"It must have been that silly Choji from earlier who sucked all my luck away."

Boom! ! !

Xia Mu (Haonuo Zhao) gave Inuzuka Kiba a hard knock on the head and said:

"Idiot, cheer up! Just treat this as a special training session. Do you still want your Akamaru to evolve?"

Akamaru? Evolution.

Oh ho ho~~

These words immediately made Kiba Inuzuka's eyes light up.

Is Natsuki finally going to teach him the real evolution techniques?

"Xia Mu, you are my own brother."

With a thud, Kiba Inuzuka burst into tears as a cute little dog pounced on him and hugged Natsuki's leg.

The other test takers were all speechless.

How can Kiba Inuzuka be so shameless? He fought his way to the finals, after all.

No, his teammates are the powerful Natsuki and Hinata, his opponents in the elimination rounds, and he knocked himself unconscious.

Maybe he won all the way through by doing nothing.

Zhu is so lucky.

And did Xia Mu make an off-field promise to directly eliminate an opponent?

Although they don't understand what evolution means...

125: Hinata Hyuga, the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes

The eleven people finished drawing their lots one after another.

The match order for the third official open tournament has also been announced in advance.

Match 1: Natsuki Yuhi vs. Kiba Inuzuka.

Second match: Temari vs. Nara Shikamaru.

Third match: Rock Lee vs. Gaara.

Fourth match: Shino Aburame vs. Kankuro

Fifth match: Uchiha Sasuke vs. Uzumaki Naruto.

Match 6: Hinata Hyuga gets a bye.

Seeing Hinata receive a bye in the sixth game, everyone couldn't help but cast envious glances at her.

Besides Kiba Inuzuka, who had just yelled, Rock Lee's gaze also appeared somewhat serious.

Because his opponent was Gaara, who seemed the most formidable opponent and had a murderous look on his face.

The elimination round just now directly crushed Tosu from the Sound Village.

The referee didn't even have time to stop it.

Naruto, however, was the least self-aware. He walked up to Sasuke and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, Sasuke, I never expected my opponent to be you."

"It seems even the heavens knew I could defeat you, and arranged for you to come here."

Sasuke pursed his lips, turned his head away, and didn't even want to look at the idiot.

"When the time comes, Sasuke, don't cry in front of everyone." Seeing Sasuke's annoyed look, Naruto became even more enthusiastic.

"You, with your 397, are at the very bottom of the pack? Get lost."

"My target is Natsuki and Gaara."

Tired of being bothered, Sasuke could only wave his hand, shooing Naruto away while retorting.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"To celebrate most of us making it to the official tournament, I've decided to host a club dinner. Everyone come to my house tonight!"

"This is our Dimensional End Gathering Club's team building activity, and all members must come."

Just then, before everyone had dispersed, Xia Mu quickly called out to her friends.

"A get-together? Do you have barbecue?"

Upon hearing about food, Choji, who had woken up during the previous elimination round, was the first to jump out and ask.

"Absolutely!"

Natsuki glanced at Choji, briefly checked his wallet, and nodded.

He made a fortune selling Ultraman transformation devices and playing pranks on Samui and his friends in the Hidden Cloud Village.

There is still a little surplus food.

Putting aside Choji, Hinata is a big eater, so her ability to make money must be maxed out as well.

"Great! I'll definitely be there. I'll help with the shopping."

Before Choji could respond happily, Ino kicked the glutton away with a side kick and flashed in front of Natsuki with her eyes shining.

"Then I'll have to trouble Ino."

Xia Mu responded with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone waved goodbye and went home to change their clothes.

Meanwhile, Natsuki took Hinata and Ino to the food and drink street to do some shopping.

By the time I got home, it was almost dusk.

Two girls, one helped wash the rice and cook, and the other helped wash the vegetables.

Xia Mu then took a kitchen knife and sliced ​​the mountain of large chunks of meat into thin slices, making them easier to use for hot pot.

We'll prepare hot pot and barbecue later.

Just as he had cut more than half of it, a handkerchief gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Natsuki, assuming it was Hinata, said gently, "Are you done so quickly?"

"Then sit down and rest for a bit."

"Yes, I just finished washing the vegetables."

A voice different from Hinata's rang in his ears, causing Natsuki to instinctively turn around.

A warm fragrance immediately filled the air, followed by a sweet aroma.

What came into view was Ino, whose eyes were also wide open.

I had just finished washing the vegetables when I saw Xia Mu working so diligently. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the shop window, illuminating his delicate and flawless face, giving it a captivating glow.
