Recca is sparring with Haru inside the special training room, the chat group preparing for every member to train. Haru, who is physically stronger than Recca, is pushing Recca to the corner with his overwhelming strength. But Recca can avoid Haru's attack using his speed and nimble body.
Recca is faster than Haru because for Recca, what ninjas must have the most is incredible speed, while Haru, whose speed is lost to Recca, is training his strength more because all the enemies he will fight are more brute type than speed type.Besides, if he needs speed, he only needs to use Silfarion, who would grant him incredible speed.
But right now both Recca and Haru are sparring in close combat, only using their kicks and fists. After both Haru and Recca are low on stamina, they decide to stop and take a break.
"Your speed is amazing, Recca-san! It's almost on par with the speed I get using Silfarion!" Haru said while drinking a glass of water.
"Yeah, but my strength is still lacking compared to you, Haru-san! Your strength is almost like the strength of twelve people! Even my muscle-headed friend Domon, who has strength stronger than most, cannot be compared with you," Recca said with a sigh. "It looks like I need to train my strength more!"
"Both of us are strong in our world, but if we compared our power with Keitarou-san, then we are nothing in front of him! He can easily defend himself from my strongest slash using only his right index finger he used to stop my Gravity Core!" Haru said he was amazed with the power Keitarou showed him. "A cultivator like him is truly an awesome being!"

"So my cute student, I want the three of you to participate in the Chuunin Exam and try your luck and skill on the Chuunin Exam," Kakashi said while holding three forms for the Chuunin Exam in his hand. "If you can become a Chuunin, then it was good; if all of you fail, then you three are not qualified enough to become a Chuunin!"
"Kakashi-sensei, are those words supposed to come out from a team leader and a sensei?" Asked Sakura to take her form from Kakashi and then rip it apart. "The Chuunin Exams are famous for their difficulty, so no, I did not want to participate."
"Sakura was right, Sensei. Your mouth is too loose, and as our Sensei, you are doing badly on your job! You are almost doing nothing to train us, and the thing you teach us is only the way to climb a tree without using hands," Naruto's words are stabbed deeply into Kakashi's heart, making his lazy teacher sulk in the squat position.
"Our team is too weak and did not have much experience as a Shinobi, so I maybe would participate in the exam this year!"
"Naruto was correct this time; I maybe want to have some fighting experience from the Chuunin Exam to make me stronger, but my own experience as a Shinobi is still lacking, so I think participating in the exam next year makes more sense!" Sasuke said whose words shocked Kakashi.

"T-the three of you did not want to participate in the Chuunin Exam! This is..." Kakashi is shocked because of his three students. What they just said is confusing him.
"Sigh Kakashi-sensei, as a Genin, both I, Sakura, and Sasuke are lacking in experience. So if we want to become a Chuunin, we need more training and real-life battle experience," Naruto said while trying his best to not laugh seeing Kakashi's confusion. "Sasuke wants to get revenge on his older brother, who was a genius Kage-level ninja below the age of twenty, but after I told him the fact that trying to be on par with his older brother would cripple him in the future and make him unable to have a descendant. Sasuke decided to take things more slowly. And for Sakura, I told her she was a hindrance for Team Seven, so she decided to train more, stop her diet, and eat healthier.
While I decide to do ten thousand push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, plus running two hundred kilos every day while wearing a heavy object on my body, plus my special gravity seal that made my body ten times heavier! By the way, Sasuke also wore the heavy object plus the gravity seal that made his body two times heavier!"

Kakashi's jaws dropped when he heard Naruto's training menu; he already got news from Guy about Naruto running circles around Konoha with him and Lee. But he did not expect Naruto's training would be more extreme than Guy's or Lee's.
"Eh, Naruto, are your training menus a bit extreme?" Asked Kakashi, who cannot imagine himself doing the same training as Naruto. "Will your body be okay?"
"I heal fast, so don't worry about me, Sensei! Even though my body would be hurt so much after all the training with a good night's sleep, my body will be okay in no time!" Answered Naruto, who was glad he had Kyuubi, the healing factor of Senju and Uzumaki, plus a private Senzu beans garden. Or he would not heal that fast.
"His insane stamina, chakra, and healing capabilities are the things an elite Uchiha like me, di not have! Not even I have as much stamina as Naruto! But in a fight I would not lose! All this time in our sparring, Naruto proves himself as a worthy rival who can push me to the limit faster! And I was sure in five years I would reach Kage-level power and then kill Itachi!" Sasuke said he was happy with his rivalry with Naruto.
'Sigh, if I do not brainwash him a bit, then soon Orochimaru would get him and tempt him with instant power! Thankfully I learned the unbreakable brainwash technique from the copy of Forbidden Scroll, or Sasuke would not have had any patience at all! I may not like him very much, but he's still my teammate! Besides, I still don't have a chance to extract Indra chakra from him. So I still need him to be beside me for at least two or three years!'

"What did you say, Kakashi! What do you mean by your team member will not participate in the Chuunin Exam!?"Hiruzen feels shocked by the information he just got from Kakashi because he clearly told Kakashi to make his three students participate in the exam.
"Well, just like I said, Hokage-Sama, Sakura, Sasuke, and also Naruto have decided that the Chuunin Exam is too early for them because they still lack experience as ninjas," Kakashi said with a sigh. "And because I cannot convince them even after trying so hard, I give up trying to convince them. Because it would only be wasting my time."
"This is so weird! Why did a revenger like Sasuke, who was always eager to become strong, and Naruto, who was always boasting about replacing me as Hokage, not want to participate in the Chuunin Exam?" Hiruzen said he was confused by Naruto's and Sasuke's decision.
"Please don't ask me why they become like that, Hokage-Sama, because even I did not know the reason at all," Kakashi said, who has a headache because of Naruto and Sasuke. "And let us just look at the positive: they said that they would attend the exam next year after they have more experience."
