Konoha Sakura

Chapter 41 Chunin Exam
After joining Naruto Sasuke and two cheap laborers, Sakura found that the progress that the company had been slowly advancing had suddenly accelerated by an unknown number of times.

If you compare the images, it is probably that you used to crawl before, but now you use to run.Although there are reasons for seeking stability in the early days of its establishment, and she herself went out for a period of time, she can also see the value of Naruto's efficient labor force.

Now Sakura has taken back her original idea. In the original trajectory of fate, the results of blogger biography are due to the cheap labor of Naruto who can be used by a hundred.

Of course, out of an attitude towards the efficient use of labor, Sakura did not outsource all the work to Naruto, otherwise it would be a waste.

During this period of time, the comic company expanded in Konoha like a raging fire, and even reached into the basic industry, making preparations for the future development of entertainment.

With Naruto's hard work and Sasuke's coordination and help, there were basically no major problems.Soon, what originally seemed to take a few months or even a year or two was compressed.

And the bridge that was temporarily forgotten on the Wave Country was also remembered by Sakura.

At that time, I was out of skills and didn't have much time, so I planned to intervene in the future.Now it seems that when the Zhongnin exams pass, they can intervene.

That kind of enthusiasm for infrastructure made Sakura increase the amount of tasks, hoping to speed up the progress of running to the point of galloping.

For Ming Zuo, this does not feel like cheap labor. After all, it is paid according to the remuneration of high-level tasks, and there is no danger. money.

Now, Konoha is full of Narutokage avatars everywhere, busy and busy, like a brick in Konoha, moving wherever it is needed.

Of course, these things will stop for a long time.

No matter how many Naruto avatars, he is still a person, and he is really used as a cow. In a few months, he is afraid that he will really burn himself out.

After the relevant employees slowly made up, the amount of tasks related to Naruto decreased.

……

"During this period of time, the results of your practice have been very good." Kakashi said with a complicated expression in a practice field under the bright sun.

On this day, in the Konoha training ground, a few rare people were here, receiving Kakashi's teachings.

This is a rare thing for Kakashi who usually reads manga or novels.

After all, the disciples are almost growing independently. Naruto didn't learn new powerful ninjutsu, but constantly developed his shadow clone.If it weren't for accepting Sakura's mission now, the D-level missions that the village received might not be enough for Naruto to complete alone.

Needless to say about Sakura, ninja is just a side job, the kind that releases tasks by itself just to be lazy.But in terms of strength, Kakashi found that he was not as good as this student who had just graduated.

Sasuke, the only one who can teach him, learned very seriously from Kakashi.However, as a strong Taijutsu, he has strengthened his training since returning to the village, and the progress made Kakashi feel very stressed.

The disciple was too strong, so Kakashi had no choice but to pretend to be salty fish, especially since there were a lot of novel comic books in various bookstores recently, and Kakashi couldn't stop thinking about the various ideas of the post-ninja era.

Frankly speaking, as a traditional ninja, Kakashi does not value the so-called gorgeous painting style, nor does he expect those wonderful stories, nor is he attracted by those beautiful manga characters.What he is really looking forward to is the various imaginations about the future ninja world depicted in various manga, which opened him up to new horizons.

Naturally, not all of those comics belonged to Sakura, these comics were published since Konoha, and then expanded to the whole country.

Even many dignitaries would want to buy a ninja-related manga to learn about this group of ninjas that scares them and makes them comfortable to use.

Since the one-village-one-country system, ninjas have made great contributions to the stability of the daimyo's status.Even if this is not the original intention of those ninjas, who made you read less?

An economic sanction, a political method, a ninja who can only be used as a weapon of war can't even tell who the enemy is.Even if there are one or two who can see it, it is impossible to change it if the other ninja villages block it and do not have enough strength.

Nominally, ninja villages are equal to the country, but in reality... To put it bluntly, ninjas are nothing more than shepherd dogs for maintaining the daimyo system.

Maybe there was a chance in the era of Hashirama, after all, he and Madara at that time really had the power to push the ninja world across, and that power was enough to rebuild and revise the definition of the ninja class.However, the limitations of thinking restrained him.

It is not sad to be clamped down by the state, but the sad thing is that they themselves are not even aware of this problem.

But now, it seems that a few people have realized it, but it may not be useful.

Master and teacher died, teammates died, good friends died... After so much grief, Kakashi now just wants to be a salted fish.

Since the disciple is strong, it is enough for him to help, but if he needs to work hard again, forget it.

As for now, feeling the pressure, Kakashi just decided to practice hard and delay some time to be surpassed.

"...Your strength has improved, and the amount of tasks you have completed has been very good during this time." There is not much to point out. After the compliment, Kakashi cut to the point, "Because of your excellent performance, in a few days I have signed up for the Chunin Exam for you."

"The Chunin Exam..." Naruto repeated, his blue eyes lit up, "After advancing to the rank of Chunin, is it one step closer to the goal?"

Compared with Sasuke's uneasiness when getting paid, Naruto has slowly understood his own value.

Ideology and politics are not learned in vain. Theory is connected with practice. He even has the embryonic form of how to make drastic reforms after becoming a ninja.

However, in terms of rank, he is still a ninja, with ambitions but no channels for realization.

And becoming a Zhongnin is a step closer to the position of the shadow of a village.

"But in the Chunin exam, can we meet a strong opponent?" Sasuke asked.

His strength has skyrocketed recently, but the tasks he faces are all Naruto is good at, giving him the illusion that he is eating soft food.So in order to prove that he is not the most useless, he urgently needs to prove himself with a battle.

"A powerful enemy," Kakashi hesitated, "this time is a joint exam, and other villages are likely to deliberately target Konoha, and it's possible that people whose strength is far beyond this level will participate."

But looking at Sakura who was silently eating melons, Kakashi felt that unless the other villages sent Kage out to pretend to be ninja, they would not be considered opponents.

"Compared to those, I would like to know if becoming a Chunin would be much more relaxing." Sensing Kakashi's gaze, Sakura said leisurely.

"No, becoming a Chunin is just a matter of being able to accept more advanced tasks on your own." Kakashi replied, and continued, "I have already helped you with the registration, and then the three of you can start together. Well, I still have something to do, you can practice on your own."

After the voice fell, Kakashi disappeared in place.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei is still as lazy as ever, and originally wanted to ask some questions." Seeing Kakashi leave, Naruto said with some regret.

"What kind of questions are you asking? It has nothing to do with training and fighting. It's normal for Kakashi-sensei not to be able to answer." Sasuke complained, feeling lingering fears about Naruto's so-called questions.

"Hey, the Chunin exam is coming, we should prepare well!" Sakura said, adding, "In order for you to have a better state, there will be no need to arrange tasks for a while."

Anyway, now that we have passed the stage of manpower shortage, it is not a pity for Sakura to say this.

"Okay, then add some more time to practice in the next few days." Ming Zuo and the two nodded at the same time, although they didn't really feel how difficult the Chunin exam was.But Sakura has opened her mouth, so she has to be more serious.

Anyway, with their strength, it would be easy to take a mere Chunin.That’s right, they just swell.

"Yes, there is someone." Suddenly, Sakura turned her head and said, looking at a part of the village in the distance.

Then, she took a step and walked quickly to the perceived position.

Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke had no doubts and followed quickly.

Soon, they came to the village, where Naruto's shadow clone confronted them.Behind him, a child shouted: "Boss, he is too much, beat him!"

In front of Naruto's shadow clone, a weird boy with smears on his face said angrily: "Is Konoha even a child so arrogant? Or do you think our sand ninjas are easy to bully?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Naruto, about to grab his collar.Behind Naruto, Konoha Maru flinched in fear.People outside the village don't care about his identity.

"I'm sorry, Konoha Maru was at fault for what happened just now. But let's forget about his age. You are guests from afar, so you can go and taste our Konoha's delicacies." Naruto said calmly Saying that, he stopped Kankuro with his palm, and pushed him back lightly, which surprised him.

"Eh, I still have some strength. But if that's all, if you want to forgive, I'll talk about it after I vent first." Kankuro said, clenched his palms into fists, and was about to hit.

But at this moment, a hand appeared beside him silently, holding his fist.

"Your Excellency, is it too much? Konoha treats friends with courtesy, if it is an enemy..." Kankuro was horrified when the slightly cold voice came, and when he turned around, he saw a blond boy with the same face appearing beside him.

"Ontology, you are here, then I will continue to complete the task." The shadow clone nodded, and advised Konohamaru before leaving, "There will be a limit to playing around in the future, and no one will let you see that you are the grandson of Hokage. with you."

"You think you are living in the shadow of Hokage, but without Hokage, you are nothing!"

In the end, Konohamaru's spirit was shaken by the cold words, and no one had ever spoken to him so harshly on weekdays.

"Boss, I..." Konoha Maru opened his mouth, speechless for the first time being reprimanded, silently looking at Naruto's back.Although Naruto said mercilessly, Konoha Maru felt that what he said was right.

While the shadow clone was educating Konoha Maru, Naruto's body was also suppressing Kankuro.

He is not strong in physical skills, but it depends on who he is compared with. Kankuro is like this. Naruto really doesn't need a shadow clone to fight in groups.

Kankuro tried his best to open Naruto's hand, but his hand seemed to be clamped by iron tongs, and he couldn't break free.

"Let go first, Naruto." An ethereal voice came, and Sakura stood beside him leisurely.

Hearing this, Naruto let go of his hand, and Kankuro immediately took a few steps back under the inertia, his face turned blue and white: "Hmph, do you think I'm sure? As a puppet master, my strength is not in physical skills. "

As he said that, he untied the belt and took out the puppet that was half a person tall, obviously being dazzled by anger.

Opposite him, Naruto did not make the next move, but realized that this fight would not be possible without accidents, so he just said leisurely: "You seem to be irrational. As a ninja from an outer village, you want to fight in the woods. Ye here to do it. Could it be that you want to provoke a struggle between the villages?"

"I'm not, I didn't..." Kankuro blushed and argued.

"Enough, you still think that you don't lose enough people! Do you still want to use the crow?" A cold voice came at this moment, which immediately extinguished Kankuro's anger, and his body couldn't help shaking a few times. That look is, fear.

Sakura looked at the red-haired boy who spoke, and the Chakra breath was indeed brutal and cold in her perception.Obviously, in the face of the hostility of the village, this kind of temperament is more like Renzhuriki.Naruto's kind is rare for many years, even though he is in the dark, his heart is toward the light.

At this moment, Naruto also looked at Gaara with a hint of surprise in his eyes.When the boy appeared, he felt a throbbing in his heart, as if someone of his kind had appeared.

Because he didn't know what was going on, Naruto suppressed the doubts in his heart and didn't say anything.

And Gaara looked at Naruto as well, with bloodlust in his eyes: "Not bad prey, wait for the Chunin exam, um..."

"Students who came to participate in the Chunin Exam? It's interesting." A playful voice sounded beside him, causing Gaara's expression to change. Just now he was completely unaware of the existence of this person.
