Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Gathering of the Rookies

But, for some reason, it seemed that the fact that Xia Mu had little Chakra was taken for granted.

Since when did everyone accept this setting?

Something's not right!

Sasuke's feeling was correct.

In reality, this was the result of Xia Mu's deliberate actions. Since he surrendered during the match against Sasuke in the first year, he said he didn't have enough Chakra. During outdoor classes, he also showed a lack of Chakra. After doing it many times, everyone got used to it. Now that Xia Mu had used Ninjutsu several times, and even used Genjutsu, wasn't it natural that he didn't have enough Chakra?

Besides, Xia Mu was only seven years old, so it was normal for him to have little Chakra.

As for being able to suppress Sasuke just now, it was just playing little tricks and wasn't taken seriously.

"Damn it! Sasuke, that arrogant guy, believe it!"

Naruto muttered unhappily, but in the end, he left dejectedly and then shamelessly went up to Sakura again. But Sakura was looking at Sasuke the whole time, and only Hinata was worried about Naruto's injuries.

Ah, this complicated relationship is quite stomach-churning.

However, if there were more melon seeds, I believe it would be very interesting.

The following matches weren't very interesting. Even when Shino faced Inuzuka Kiba, Shino won easily, and Inuzuka Kiba was beaten without any temper.

Oh, right, this guy hasn't gotten his dog yet. He'll probably have to wait until he's nine to start raising Akamaru.

But even if Inuzuka Kiba gets a dog, he's still no match for Shino.

Xia Mu was very sure of this!

After the boys finished, it was the girls' turn. The first match was a battle between good friends, Ino Yamanaka versus Sakura Haruno.

There was no need to wait for the Chunin Exams. This was a hair-pulling battle, but everyone guessed wrong, because as soon as the match started, Sakura Haruno was kicked away and couldn't get up for a long time.

Iruka was immediately startled and decisively announced Ino's victory, then wanted to send Sakura to the hospital to be checked.

Ino walked up to Sakura and extended her fair little hand: "Alright, I didn't use much strength, it'll be fine after a little pain. But Sakura, you're really weak, you haven't improved at all after a year of school."

Sakura covered her stomach, but the pain did quickly subside, clearly Ino had held back.

Moreover, she felt that today's Ino was a little different. Not only did she not scold her forehead, but she also actively reached out to help her.

It was very abnormal!

"Ino-pig, what's wrong?" Sakura's tone was unfriendly, but her words carried worry.

"Are you asking for a scolding? Hurry up and get up, forehead. I'll tell you privately later, everyone is watching!"

A vein popped on Ino's forehead, and she simply reached out and pulled her up, then held hands and left the arena, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

Sakura was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at her hand being held, feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

The outdoor class quickly ended, and Iruka also announced the end of school. The students scattered in a rush, nothing was more important than going out to play.

Xia Mu called a few friends together: "Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, you're free tomorrow, the day off, right? Come over to my place, I want to ask you to help me play a game, and as a reward, I'll treat you to a meal."

Shino and Shikamaru didn't say anything, but they readily nodded in agreement.

Choji couldn't help but drool: "Xia Mu, are you treating again? Hehe, don't worry, I'll definitely save my stomach for your place tomorrow, otherwise, I won't eat dinner tonight!"

Ino was very curious when she heard this: "What is Xia Mu treating us to that would make Choji, that glutton, not even eat dinner? And, shouldn't the key be the game? What kind of game are we going to play? Why is it so mysterious?"

Xia Mu didn't explain: "Just come, you'll definitely like it. Even if you don't like the game, you'll like my cooking."

Choji also said: "That's right! Xia Mu's cooking is great!"

Ino also nodded in agreement upon hearing this. It just so happened that she didn't want to help at the flower shop on her day off, and she didn't want to continue the devil training. She would just take it as a day off.

But thinking about playing games, she quickly said: "Can I bring Sakura with me?"

Sakura pointed at her nose in surprise, not expecting Ino to invite her along. As expected, Ino was acting strange.

Naruto immediately stuck his head over when he heard this: "Nani nani? Are we going to Xia Mu's house to play games? And Xia Mu is treating? Sakura and everyone else are going, I can go too, right? Xia Mu, Xia Mu, I can go too, right?"

Xia Mu really couldn't refuse for a moment. Thinking about the card game he wanted to promote, and also thinking about getting along well with these rookies, and also introducing Tenten to everyone, he agreed.

"Alright, alright, then Sakura, Naruto, Kiba, Hinata, you all come too. What about Sasuke? Do you want to come to my place tomorrow morning?"

"Your place?" Sasuke subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he always felt that Xia Mu was acting strange and wanted to investigate, so he agreed, "Alright then, I'll come to your place tomorrow to take a look."

Hearing that Sasuke was also going, Sakura was immediately overjoyed, while Naruto had a face full of displeasure.

But Xia Mu didn't care. After telling them his home's location, he went home first, planning to discuss the ingredients to buy tomorrow with Tenten, after all, two big eaters were coming over tomorrow.

The next morning, Xia Mu went to the market to buy groceries, leaving only Tenten at home.

As for the rookies, they first met at the school gate, and then Shino led them to Xia Mu's house. Along the way, they were all guessing what game Xia Mu wanted them to play, and they were also curious about what Xia Mu's house was like.

Before long, everyone arrived at the courtyard gate, and Shino immediately knocked.

"Coming, coming!"

A female voice came, surprising everyone even more. Then they saw a cute girl with twin buns open the door. The girl was also wearing an apron, clearly she had been busy just now.

Shino nodded in greeting: "Tenten, I brought everyone."

Ino said happily: "Tenten, I didn't expect you to be home. Where's Xia Mu?"

Tenten smiled and welcomed everyone into the courtyard: "Xia Mu went shopping. He said there will be two big eaters at noon, so he needs to buy more to make sure everyone is well-treated. Everyone, please sit down first. Later, I'll introduce you to the card game Xia Mu invented. You'll definitely like it."

As she spoke, she skillfully poured drinks.

Except for Shino and Ino, everyone else looked at Tenten curiously, guessing that Tenten was Xia Mu's sister or older sister.

Naruto was the first to be unable to resist: "Um, who is this twin-bun girl?"

Ino decisively gave a grand introduction: "Cough cough! The cute girl with twin buns standing in front of you is named Tenten. She's a senior one year above us, and she's Xia Mu's girlfriend!"

So she's his girlfriend... Wait a minute!

Girl, girl, girlfriend?!

"Nani! Xia Mu's girlfriend?! Xia Mu actually has a girlfriend already?!" Everyone's pupils dilated in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
