"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The three-person team of Inuzuka Ha, Hyuga Haruki, and Aburame Shiko was speeding through the forest.
"I've really had enough of this lousy sticker!"
Inuzuka Ha bared his teeth and said angrily.
"Ha, you've been complaining all the way."
Hyuga Haruki's cheek twitched upon hearing Inuzuka Ha's complaints.
If anyone was losing face, he was the one losing the most face.
Inuzuka Ha and Aburame Shiko at least stuck it on their foreheads; although a bit comical, it wasn't weird.
But as a branch family member of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Haruki had to stick it between his eyebrows.
A little red flower right in the middle of two Byakugan?
It was simply smearing the Hyuga clan's name!
"Haruki, you..."
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Inuzuka Ha turned his head to look at Hyuga Haruki, intending to say something, but seeing Hyuga Haruki's current image, he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Ha! You bastard!"
Hyuga Haruki was instantly enraged.
"Lightning Release: Ground Flash!"
"Sizzle!!!"
A flash of lightning flickered, and a bolt of lightning conducted along the trees, fiercely striking towards the Konoha trio.
"Dodge!"
Aburame Shiko reacted fastest, pulling Inuzuka Ha and Hyuga Haruki, and they fell towards the ground somewhat wretchedly.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The three of them slammed onto the ground wretchedly, and Inuzuka Ha cried out in pain.
"Konoha trash, you dodged pretty fast."
Three Kumogakure Genin flashed not far from Inuzuka Ha and the others, looking at them with mocking gazes.
"Bastard! Daring to ambush this lord!"
Inuzuka Ha scrambled up, baring his teeth in pain, and glared angrily at the three Cloud ninjas.
Aburame Shiko and Hyuga Haruki looked ugly.
As a sensory team possessing the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, they were actually ambushed.
Aburame Shiko and Hyuga Haruki had been agonizing over the stickers on their heads just now, leading to negligence in reconnaissance.
But for ninjas, this was no excuse at all.
This one mistake caused the three of them, who slammed into the ground from the trees, to suffer varying injuries.
Inuzuka Ha was fine; the Inuzuka clan's physique was naturally strong.
But Hyuga Haruki didn't have time to defend in the sudden situation, resulting in several broken ribs.
Aburame Shiko's right arm was also difficult to move at this moment.
This mistake plunged them into a crisis.
"Hahahaha, Konoha guys, can you not glare at us with those comical stickers?"
"Shouldn't have come to the Chunin Exam; should have gone home to find your mommy."
...
The Cloud ninjas laughed loudly seeing the little red flowers on the Konoha trio's foreheads.
"Bastard!"
Inuzuka Ha already cared about it, and now being ridiculed by others.
His face turned beet red instantly, and he angrily launched an attack towards the three Cloud ninjas.
"Wait, Ha!"
Aburame Shiko and Hyuga Haruki's expressions changed, and they hurriedly tried to stop Inuzuka Ha.
But because the movement pulled on their injuries, their actions were half a beat slower.
"Kuromaru! Let's go!"
"Woof!"
"Ninja Art: Beast Mimicry! Fang Passing Fang!"
Inuzuka Ha shouted in a low voice. Man and dog spun rapidly in the air, like two drills, trying to strangle the three Cloud ninjas.
"Damn it, let's go!"
"Ha, this guy."
Hyuga Haruki and Aburame Shiko failed to stop Inuzuka Ha, cursed inwardly, endured the pain, and rushed up.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Blade."
"Sizzle—Sizzle—"
Two Cloud ninjas took out the ninja swords on their backs, strong electric currents flickering continuously on them.
"Lightning Release: Ground Flash!"
The leader of the Cloud ninjas revealed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and slammed them fiercely onto the ground.
"Sizzle—Boom!"
A dazzling bolt of lightning traveled along the ground, fiercely striking towards the charging Konoha trio.
"Boom!"
...
"Last... last bottle of wine."
Yuyu walked on the forest path, looking at the wine in his hand, secretly annoyed.
After cutting down those three bastards from Takigakure, he hadn't encountered anyone else.
Yuyu really couldn't find anyone, so he planned to drink just a little bit of wine.
And then, he drank... a little bit too much.
Only the last bottle of wine he brought remained.
"Last bottle, gotta save it."
"Asuma and Obito, those two bastards, only brought this little wine."
...
Yuyu, who was high on drink, was immersed in his own world, muttering while swaying forward.
Finally, he was about to walk out of this dense forest.
"Ha! Are you okay?!"
