Just as Naruto took advantage of the opportunity of the crowd to tease his baby wife openly. More and more children rushed out of the Ninja School. The number of people present dropped rapidly, and the third round of exams officially kicked off.

...

At this time, five minutes have passed since the start of the exam.

Sasuke, who was strong on the surface, secretly had stronger strength and the real examiner. As the first group of members, Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke passed the exam, which was a foregone conclusion. Therefore, compared to the anxious look of others who rushed forward, Naruto and Hinata were among the earlier candidates who walked out of the gate of the Ninja School, but they walked forward calmly. As if they had regarded this round of exams as walking, they seemed particularly at ease when walking. Not long after, except for the little guys who were really fragile and weak, and unable to run while carrying heavy equipment, they could no longer see others. For a moment, on this road specially marked with the direction of progress, the number of people suddenly seemed very small and deserted.

"Oh, everyone is full of energy. After only a short while, they have almost finished running. It seems that the physical fitness of the children who have registered for this class is not as bad as I am worried about..."

His right hand clasped Hinata's soft little hand from beginning to end, so as to quietly send chakra into Hinata's body, Naruto raised his idle left hand slightly with a look of ease. While setting a pergola in front of his eyebrows, he shook his head with a smile in his eyes.

"But, children are just children after all..."

As the examiner who asked the exam questions, Naruto deliberately asked Tianzang to explain in advance before the third round of the exam had begun. This last round of exams would have to run around the village for a whole round... As the most conspicuous and biggest problem on the surface, the whole process of this third round of exams was actually completed, but it was almost equivalent to a complete marathon long-distance race!

Unfortunately, now it seems that I am too concerned about whether there is any conspiracy hidden in the many rules of the third round of exams. So much so that this biggest test on the surface is that most people subconsciously ignore and forget.

I was so determined to show off my strength at the beginning. Not to mention, physical energy consumption alone is a big problem - after all, even ordinary adults still find it difficult to run the full range while maintaining a full sprint. What's more, these children who are not only far inferior in terms of physical strength, degree and other aspects, but also wear weight-bearing equipment that is not suitable for the current age group?

Although many candidates now seem to be performing well, without any unusual and uncomfortable appearance, and are relaxed and comfortable... But this is just because it has only been five minutes since everyone has put on heavy equipment and officially started the exam after leaving school. The physical fitness of the candidates during this period is relatively in full and full.

When we reach the second half of the sprint stage, if these children are still so upright and cute, and run forward with just the rush... Then, just relying on the Ninja School that is given to everyone and stipulates a limited amount of food and water for each person, it is better to do it than to have no physical replenishment. I really don’t know how they, who are too naive and simple, have caused most of their physical loss, will survive this exam."

Just as Naruto sighed that the child was simple and easy to deceive, Hinata, who had been lowering her little head and silently, was like a teapot with water boiled, and white smoke similar to high-temperature steam continued to rise above her head.

Although he has now left the Ninja School and, under the guidance of Naruto's intentional slowdown, he left the team of participants and landed far behind, and no longer had to worry about attention... But the resulting atmosphere of being alone like a date made Hinata's face flushing without reducing. It was because in the exam room, Naruto leaned against his ear without warning, accompanied by warm breathing, and soft murmurs half-joking and half-serious re-questioning words, it was difficult for him to muster up the courage to look at Naruto at first glance.

At this time, if someone could see Hinata's face covering her head, Hinata's eyes had already turned into a pair of rotating small vortexes in a row. If Naruto had not always held Hinata's hand firmly and invisibly guided him to the direction of his progress, otherwise Hinata, who had no intention of looking at the way, was just a subconscious step forward, would have had an intimate contact with solid objects such as walls and telephone poles.

"Protect me... for the rest of my life? Naruto-kun said this, then... it's not... it's...ahhh! What am I thinking about..."

As he repeated himself, Naruto leaned into his ears and murmurs seemed to be echoing in his ears, making Hinata, who was already young and introverted, suddenly shy and dizzy and couldn't find Kita. Even the pictures that appeared in his little head were full of gentle and pampering eyes projected by Naruto...

If the hand had not been firmly held by Naruto as expected, and as he had first met Hinata on a snowy night, he would have been sending chakra to Hinata, allowing Hinata to subconsciously enjoy this warm and safe feeling. Otherwise, Hinata would have been so shy that she could not speak even if she could speak, she would probably turn around and run away in a difficult manner, so as not to let Naruto see his current "embarrassing" look.

"Naruto-kun, didn't you say before that we should catch up with Sasuke-kun as soon as possible?"

He was silent for a long time, until even the backward candidates around him gradually drifted away, leaving only himself with Naruto alone, Hinata gradually raised his still red face and mustered up the courage to whisper and ask in a low voice.

"Then...why, let's go faster?"

"No hurry, no hurry. If you use one sentence to describe the current situation, it would be..."

Seeing Hinata recovering a little and proactively communicate, Naruto's heart, which had been hanging, finally fell to the ground. In response to the warm response with a smile, no one around, let go of his right hand holding each other, stretched his waist and gently hugged Hinata's arms, while using his idle left hand to tidy up the scattered forehead. While trying hard to hold back his laughter, he pretended to be serious, lowered his head and drank Hinata's face, which was still holding a high temperature, and then joked as if he was pointing out.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
