Chapter 486: Calm down a little and don’t cause any trouble in the Chunin Examination
event…
Hokage's office building.
An old man with a pipe in his mouth looked down at the crowds on the streets of Konoha. It was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage who has been in power for the longest time in Konoha Village. This old man was silently watching a group of people from outside the village who were visiting Konoha Village.
Ninjas.
no doubt.
The ninjas from other villages who can appear in Konoha Village so arrogantly must all come to Konoha to take the chunin exams. Most of them are ninjas from the small ninja villages. Among the big ninja villages, only Konoha's ally Sunagakure Village
Came to take the Chunin Exam.
Moreover, since the Third Ninja World War, the economy and finances of Sunagakure Village have been tight. Holding a chunin exam is also a financial burden for Sunagakure ninjas. Therefore, Sunagakure Village is also willing to participate in the competition held by Konoha.
Chunin exam.
"Kakashi."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, knocked his pipe gently, and asked Kakashi Hatake, who was standing behind him, softly: "The meeting to guide jounin to submit for the Chunin Examination has ended.
, do you have something important to report to me if you stay alone?"
In the Hokage's office, a high-level meeting of Konoha had just ended, and a group of coaching jounin or leading jounin had submitted the names of their subordinates to participate in the chunin exams.
These jounin have already left here to explain to their subordinates the precautions for the chunin exam. Only the instructor of the seventh class, Hatake Kakashi, applied to stay after the meeting. Apparently
If you have anything to say, please report it to the Third Hokage.
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi nodded and said casually: "Although I also think that my subordinates are qualified to participate in the Chunin Examination, and I just helped them submit the application to participate in the Chunin Examination, but one of my subordinates is in a slightly different situation.
special…"
"I know."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, as if he understood what Hatake Kakashi wanted to say: "You want to say Naruto, right? Although Naruto's identity is indeed..."
"No."
"I'm not worried about Naruto."
Hatake Kakashi shook his head again, and his eyes became serious: "What I want to say is about Sasuke. If Sasuke is allowed to participate in this chunin exam, I am a little worried about what accidents will happen. His strength
It’s a bit too strong among genin…”
"Sasuke's excellence is noticed by many people..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, has always been particularly concerned about the education of the ninja school. He is well aware of the conditions of the children in the village. He mentioned his impression of Sasuke: "I remember that Sasuke was always number one in the ninja school...
"
"but…"
Hatake Kakashi frowned slightly, as if he wanted to explain that Sasuke's combat power is not as simple as that of an excellent ninja: "Sasuke now has at least a Jonin-level combat power, and the three Magatama Sharingan is too powerful.
His fire escape ninjutsu, as well as his swordsmanship that is beyond his age, plus the teleportation technique left behind by Shisui..."
Based on the combat prowess Uchiha Sasuke displayed during this period, it is reasonable to be promoted to Jonin even in peacetime. If in wartime, he can definitely be used as the main ninja to perform special tasks.
"Is he already so strong?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Did the child who survived the night of genocide actually awaken the three Magatama Sharingan? He even learned the teleportation technique once developed by Uchiha Shisui!
should say…
Is he worthy of Uchiha Itachi's younger brother?
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately had some intuitive judgment about Uchiha Sasuke's power. After thinking for a second, he gave Hatake Kakashi an answer: "Don't worry so much, just let Sasuke participate normally."
Let's take the ninja exam. The chunin exam is an occasion for ninja villages from all over the world to show off their strength. The appearance of an outstanding ninja in the village can also let others see the heritage of Konoha..."
to be honest…
There has never been such an outstanding ninja in Konoha. The last time there was such an outstanding ninja was Itachi Uchiha who passed the chunin exams single-handedly.
"We need Sasuke too."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Uchiha Itachi who had defected, and his voice gradually became a little erratic, as if he was caught in some kind of memory: "The better Sasuke performs in this Chuunin exam, the better..."
In this case…
It can also put others at ease.
Four years ago, the Uchiha clan was slaughtered by Uchiha Itachi.
However, the truth is not simple. Uchiha Itachi reached a deal with the top management of Konoha. He will unite with a mysterious masked man to kill everyone in the Uchiha clan, solve the crisis of the Uchiha clan's coup, and then leave the village.
As a secret spy in Konoha, he went to track down the mysterious masked man and a mysterious organization called Akatsuki controlled by the mysterious masked man. The condition of the village's top management was that he would protect his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke.
If Uchiha Sasuke is really good enough and performs well enough in this chuunin exam, and even becomes famous in the ninja world, he will definitely make the spy traitor Uchiha Itachi outside understand that Konoha's top brass has not let him down.
sacrifice.
Other than that…
Konoha Village is indeed a bit out of control.
Although there are a group of outstanding young jounin such as Hatake Kakashi, Metkai and Sarutobi Asuma in the village, the combat power of these young jounin does not have a particularly great deterrent, at least they cannot do it yet.
To the likes of 'Golden Flash' Namikaze Minato and 'Shunshen Shisui' Uchiha Shisui, they are so powerful that they can scare the enemy.
If this is the case alone, forget it. It is not unacceptable that elite jonins like Hatake Kakashi continue to emerge. However, in the past few years, the talent pool has become increasingly scarce, and they are basically some special elites who have been promoted.
Tolerate…
fortunately.
The situation in Konoha has finally improved during this period.
During this period of time, there have been many outstanding graduates from the Konoha Ninja School, many of whom are very talented. Hiruzen Sarutobi has high hopes for this group of children.
"They are all outstanding children..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his cigarette, looked at the groups of ninjas not far away, and blew out a thick smoke ring: "I hope the little guys can show their strength in this chunin exam."
Excellent, I hope they can carry the will of fire in the future..."
"still have a question…"
Hatake Kakashi scratched his head and mentioned something that made him unsure: "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that Sasuke's behavior seems a bit extreme, and his character is also a bit too mature and calm.
Judging from his age..."
"Immature children just like to imitate the maturity of adults..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed no comment on this, and sighed: "When they really grow up, they will miss their young selves..."
As an old man who has controlled Konoha for more than thirty years, the Third Hokage has long seen many children who have mature minds since childhood. Kakashi Hatake behind him and Uchiha Itachi who has left the village are not both mentally mature since childhood.
Too mature?
and after?
Whether it's Kakashi Hatake or Itachi Uchiha, haven't they both carried Konoha's will of fire and solved many crisis tasks for Konoha?
and…
Uchiha Sasuke's life experience is so bizarre. He encountered the past where his parents were all killed by his biological brother since he was a child. It is normal for him to mature early...
To be honest, this kid, Sasuke Uchiha, has gone through so much, but his mind is still normal, and he can even become a ninja, which shows that this kid's mind is strong enough.
"Go get ready."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to ask Hatake Kakashi to step back.
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi's figure disappeared in an instant. He was going to announce to the little guys of Team 7 that they were going to take the Chunin Exam.
but…
Uchiha Sasuke had expected this.
When Kakashi Hatake announced that they could also take the Chunin Exam, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were also very motivated.
"This exam will be very lively..."
Uchiha Sasuke had to remind Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura, especially the names of two people: "The guy named Gaara we met in the afternoon, and there is a Dai Dai among the ninjas in Kusugakure Village.
Wearing glasses…”
"ah?"
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were a little confused.
"that…"
Haruno Sakura's brows couldn't help but frown. She remembered that in the afternoon, Uchiha Sasuke ignored the group of Sunagakure ninjas who were obviously not easy to mess with, and kept staring at a redhead who came from a small ninja village and looked a bit dull and sloppy in his clothes.
girl…
to be honest…
Haruno Sakura felt a little jealous.
He looks so cute, Sasuke-kun has always refused to look at him, but after seeing the dull red-haired girl wearing glasses, he kept staring at him, even after he walked out of sight, he seemed to have some aftertaste...
"The red-haired girl with glasses..."
Haruno Sakura thought of the image of Xiang Phosphorus, and she wanted to complain.
Because whether he was wearing a Kusugakure ninja uniform that was obviously a little worn out or bulky, he probably picked up the leftover clothes worn by others, coupled with the black full-frame glasses and the messy fiery red hair, he looked like
Knowing that the other person is not doing well...
"Sakura."
"Don't underestimate anyone."
Uchiha Sasuke's voice was undeniable and firm, and he even gave an example: "I have heard before that there was an ally named the Uzumaki clan in the village, and all the people in that clan had red hair..."
"good."
Hatake Kakashi nodded, stretched out his hand to tap the whirlpool on his forehead, and said softly: "The whirlpool, the symbol of Konoha, commemorates our friendship with the whirlpool clan. What Sasuke said is right, don't underestimate it.
Any opponent…”
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded in agreement.
to be honest…
The image of fragrance in this world is indeed very bad.
However, in Uchiha Sasuke's impression, Karin's acting style is also very domineering. He always regards himself as the future leader of the root. He was even considered to be the successor of Akihara Kagura. The Karin in this world pretends to be weak and can be bullied.
maybe…
There is such a thing as hiding and pretending...
It's simply instinctive for a ninja born from the roots.
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't imagine that Karin could be an ordinary person.
Sakura and Naruto in this world are too short-sighted. In the real world, Kagura is the most trusted subordinate of Akihara Kagura. How can a woman who can stand beside the most terrifying mastermind in the ninja world be possible in this illusion world?
Is he an ordinary person?
"Uzumaki... clan?"
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his ears and said curiously: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, so am I a member of the Uzumaki clan?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi fell silent immediately.
Because Uzumaki Naruto's life experience has always been a secret in the village, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not allow anyone to reveal it because his father was a big shot.
"It should be considered..."
Uchiha Sasuke didn't care about these so-called secrets. His eyes darkened slightly: "Your mother is Aunt Kushina. She and my mother are good friends. When I was a child, I heard my mother mention that Aunt Kushina has grown up.
A very conspicuous red hair..."
"Eh?"
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
This is the first time he has heard about his mother!
Ever since he could remember, no one had ever mentioned it in front of him!
"Is my mother's name Kushina?"
Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but become more curious. He immediately felt that he was much closer to Uchiha Sasuke, and subconsciously asked about his life experience: "My mother is also a good friend of Sasuke's mother? Then my father
Woolen cloth?"
"Well…"
Uchiha Sasuke's expression suddenly became confusing.
To be honest…
Uchiha Sasuke has never met Uzumaki Kushina, but he only saw Uzumaki Kushina's soul during the final battle in the real world...
But...
I am quite familiar with Naruto's father...
"Okay, Sasuke."
Kakashi Hatake's eyes drooped, and he interrupted the exchange between them with a deep voice: "I have something to tell you about this Chuunin exam..."
"Kakashi-sensei, I haven't finished talking to Sasuke yet!"
Anxiety flashed across Uzumaki Naruto's face, because this was the first time he knew the news about his parents, but he had always thought that he had no parents!
"Naruto…"
"Your father is an excellent and almost perfect ninja."
Hatake Kakashi stared at the yellow-haired boy in front of him, not daring to meet Uzumaki Naruto's scorching gaze. He just subconsciously reached out and pulled off his ninja forehead protector, and whispered: "Everyone in the village
We all admire your father. When you can become a perfect ninja like your father in the future, then you will know who your father is..."
"..."
Uzumaki Naruto suddenly became more curious.
Haruno Sakura, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but become a little curious, because when they were in the ninja school, they never knew Uzumaki Naruto's life experience. They only knew that he was an orphan in the village and a demon fox that had always been rejected by all the villagers...
Under a big tree.
Kakashi Hatake stood under the tree and looked at Uchiha Sasuke with his hands in his pockets. He couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't expect that Uchiha Sasuke knew a lot of things!
Uchiha Sasuke looked at his teacher and said nonchalantly: "Did Kakashi-sensei call me here to tell me to hide his father's affairs from Naruto?"
"..."
This kid knows a lot!
Hatake Kakashi held his ninja forehead protector and said helplessly: "It is the Hokage's order to conceal his life experience from Naruto. This is also to protect him..."
to be honest…
Hatake Kakashi never thought that Uzumaki Naruto's orphan life experience was a problem, because Hatake Kakashi was also an orphan when he was a child. Many ninjas in the village were also orphans since they were young, and they all experienced tragic childhoods when their parents died.
Some children are even worse off than Naruto.
For example, the Uchiha Sasuke in front of him, when he was enjoying the favor of his parents and elder brother, his elder brother, who had always been gentle to him, killed his parents and the entire clan, and even wanted to kill him...
For example, Hatake Kakashi himself saw his father commit suicide when he was young, experienced the tragedy of the deaths of companions who depended on each other when he was young, and also experienced the tragedy of the deaths of teachers and teachers who treated him like his own children...
There are four people in the entire seventh class.
Only Haruno Sakura still has living parents.
"never mind…"
"Don't mention these anymore..."
"What I want to say is about the Chunin Exams..."
Hatake Kakashi waved his hand to drive away his thoughts, and talked about serious matters seriously: "The Third Hokage already knows about you. The Hokage thinks you can shine in this Chunin Exam.
However, Sasuke, I know very well that your power has become the leader among genin. I don't think anyone can defeat you. There are other people from the ninja village in this exam, so I hope to be a little more restrained during the exam.
Don't make this joint chuunin exam held in the village too ugly..."
"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei."
Uchiha Sasuke spread his palms: "Although I know that no one among the guys taking the exam can beat me, I have met a lot of interesting guys. This exam is not as simple as you think.
…”
"This exam..."
"There will be a lot of interesting things..."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi sighed and said quietly: "I just hope that nothing big will happen in the Chuunin Exam, so that only the people from Class 7 will survive in this exam..."
"Kakashi-sensei..."
A confident chuckle appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's face: "You should know that I am not a murderous person..."
"But..."
"Just like we don't deliberately step on tiny ants when we walk on the road..."
"However, when we inadvertently step on a group of ants, we will definitely not look back to see whether the ants are alive or dead..."
