Jealousy Sakura

Naruto took off his formless qi threads, releasing Kankuro, and turned to Gaara.

"You can see my threads without even concentrating... You seem to be stronger than I thought," Naruto observed.

Gaara's lips curled into a devilish grin. "I can smell the same scent from you."

Naruto smirked. "Yeah... I noticed that too."

Without another word, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari turned and began walking away. As they left, Naruto called out, "Hey, what's your name?"

Kankuro pointed at himself. "Me?"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Not you. The blonde."

Temari glaring like dagger at naruto white folding her hands. "Temari. Why do you ask?"

Naruto flashed a charming smile. "I just can't help asking the name of a beauty when she appears before my eyes."

[naruto has two purposes in saying this , *she is beautiful blonde, *as he aimed to dominate all and rule whole ninja world, he need have info over other lands. from thier headbands naruto find out they are from sand village area and not from leaf village. to Naruto a girl is more exploitable than a boy. ]

Hearing this, Sakura's elbow struck Naruto's stomach with a sharp jab.

"Ouch!" Naruto grunted.

Sakura frowned, feeling a strange jealousy creeping in. 'Why am I getting irritated whenever Naruto compliments another girl?'

[naruto obviously didnot know the real reason why sakura strikes his stomach with her elbow, the main reason for her doing is naruto before his soul got devoured always complimented Sakura for beauty, neither ino nor hinata. after his memory loss, he didnot even complemented her once, now as he complemeted temeri as beauty, Sakura female pride got hurt her, so.....]

Temari's cheeks tinged pink. "Hmph." With a quick turn, she and her brothers resumed their path.

[usually a girl gets disgusted or bluses when someone complements her on her first approch, here it came from Naruto who is lit bit more handsome than Sasuke, so obviously she will blush.]

As Naruto rubbed his stomach, he turned to Sakura and said, "You should be careful around him. That Gaara guy… he has something inside him, like I do. And I don't think his seal is as tight as mine."

Sakura nodded. "Yes, sensei."

Behind them, Sasuke clenched his fists. He had felt Gaara's power too. 'First, I'll fight Naruto and slap his face left and right. Then, I'll take on Gaara. These fights will explain how much I progressed for my final goal. This Chunin Exam is going to be interesting.'

They entered the exam hall, where a trio caught Naruto's eye. A green-clad boy with a bowl cut—Rock Lee. A sharp-eyed, arrogant-looking boy—Neji Hyuga. And a girl he recognized immediately—Tenten.

Naruto's eyes locked onto Tenten, and he remembered their deal about his weapons. At the same time, Tenten spotted Naruto and raised her hand. "Hey, Naruto!"

Naruto smirked and nodded in greeting.

Sakura frowned again. 'Why do I feel annoyed every time a girl talks to him?'

Neji turned to Tenten. "You know him?"

"Just a customer," Tenten replied casually.

She walked toward Naruto, Naruto also took a few steps toward her. "Let's talk somewhere private."

Finding a secluded corner, Tenten pulled out a metallic sphere, patterned with intricate lines and a small hole. She handed it to Naruto. "This contains a thousand needles. Infuse chakra, and the needles will eject. The more chakra you use, the more needles will come out. Once deployed, you can retract them the same way. That's as far as I could develop it. What you do with the needles after coming out is upto you"

Naruto's eyes gleamed with excitement. "That's awesome. How much?"

Tenten folded her arms. "Twenty-five thousand ryo."

Naruto's jaw dropped. "WHAT?! Instead of charging me that much, why not just rob me?"

"Business is business," Tenten said, while laughing a little.

Naruto sighed. "I've only got ten thousand. Take it or leave it."

Tenten smirked. "Fine. Consider it a deposit. Here's the ball with a hundred needles. The other nine hundred and your twelve silver needles will be given after when you get the rest of the money."

She handed over the ball, and Naruto stashed it away.

Just as their deal concluded, the atmosphere in the hall shifted. Tension filled the air as Sasuke and Rock Lee squared off, ready to fight.
