Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 137 The Drained Konoha Chunin
In the house of the Nara family, father and son Nara Shikahisa and Shikamaru are sitting quietly in the room, playing chess seriously, which is their daily entertainment.

But unlike the serious Nara Shikahisa, Shikamaru's mind is obviously not on playing chess, his eyes are erratic, and the chess he plays is also full of loopholes, fully showing his normal level.

Shikahisa Nara was keenly aware of his son's abnormality, and put down the chess piece in his hand that was about to end the game.

"Shikamaru, what are you thinking?"

"Ah?" Shikamaru was taken aback by Shikaku's sudden opening. The boy looked at the defeated chessboard, and then realized that his distracted state had been discovered by his father. Every time someone has something on his mind, his father will easily see through it.

Now that the mind-wandering thing has been discovered, Shikamaru simply put down the chess pieces in his hand, and formally began to ask his father for advice on the issues that have been puzzling him recently.

"Father, Marutani Koko has been crazily challenging other Chunin ninjas recently. Almost everyone knows that Konoha has a challenge lunatic now. You said that he has made such a big commotion in the village. What is the intention behind it? What?"

Shikajiu didn't answer Shikamaru's question immediately, but reached out and tapped Shikamaru's forehead.

"You should call him brother."

"."

Shikamaru's face was dark, even though his father had reminded him many times, he still couldn't associate the word "brother" with the out-of-character Marutani Kou.

I feel that even I am more mature than him!

"Then what do you think?" Lu Jiu calmly brewed a cup of tea and put it in front of Shikamaru, "You must have been thinking about this question for several days."

Shikamaru nodded.

"I think he is showing the village that he already has the strength of a Chunin and wants to become a Chunin."

Marutani Koko's official identity is still a genin. The reason why he keeps challenging the chunin is because he wants to be promoted to a zhongnin. This is Shikamaru's answer. He has thought about it for several days, and even made a lot of noise by probing Naruto's tone. information, which led to this conclusion.

"Well, what you said is quite reasonable," Lu Jiu took a sip of tea and said slowly, as if agreeing with Shikamaru's statement, but the next second he changed the subject, "But you still don't know Xiaohang enough. .”

"Oh?" Shikamaru frowned suspiciously, "Could it be that he has other reasons?"

"Well, in my opinion, there is only one possibility for Xiaohang to challenge other ninjas like this crazily."

"What is it?"

"It's just boring."

"."

Shikamaru looked at his father speechlessly, the most frightening thing was that when he combined this conclusion with Marutani Koko himself, it was so harmonious.

Isn't that the character of that person? !

"Ah!"

After challenging several people in a row, Marutani Hang who was resting and drinking water suddenly sneezed.

"Brother Koko Marutani has a cold? Please take care of yourself."

After being caught peeking, Neji and Naruto Sasuke even sat on the edge of the yard openly, watching the duel at close range with relish.

"I think should not be."

After receiving the towel from Neji, Marutani Kou wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood up again, and greeted his next opponent.

"Let's continue!"

Seeing this, Naruto excitedly started cheering on.

"Teacher, come on! Defeat them!"

"Our Hinata family can't admit defeat either!"

"Yes!"

Encouraged by Neji, the morale of the Hyuga tribe was also greatly boosted. They looked at Marutani Kou aggressively and started a new round of competition.

The days passed like this day by day, and before they knew it, almost all the Chunin of the Hyuga family were successfully challenged by Marutani Ko. After that, Marutani Ko came to the Nara clan to start a new wave of challenges.

The Nara clan was followed by the Akimichi clan, the Inuzuka clan, and then the families he knew, and besides the families he knew, there were other Chunin who came to him and asked for a challenge.

By the time Marutani Kou reacted, he had already visited most of Konoha's family. Not only that, even the ordinary Chunin ninjas were mostly challenged by him, and he found that he couldn't find any other Chunin up!

what's the situation?Are there so few Chunin in the village?
Marutani took a look at his mission progress and found that so far, he has successfully challenged 738 people, which is still more than 1000 people away from the target of 200 people.

"So, you are here to ask if there are any Chunin in the village?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi put down the pen he was working on, and raised his head speechlessly to look at Koru Marutani who came to him suddenly.

"Yeah," Marutani Koko was completely unaware of how outrageous things he had done during this period of time, "Master Sandai, you must have a complete list of Chunin."

"Hey," Koko Marutani's expression was very normal, Hiruzaru Sarutobi found that the other party was serious, so he sighed deeply, "Have you ever thought about how many middle and high school challenges you have challenged in this more than a month?" Endure it?"

"738 people."

Marutani Koko blurted out, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned.

"Uh"

Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that Marutani Ko could report such an accurate number all at once, which was exactly the same as the number collected by Anbu.

So, is there really a reason behind Marutani's crazy challenge?

Are you fooling around?
That's right, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought the same as Nara Shikahisa, and also thought that Marutani Koko was just bored.

Since Marutani Ko is not making trouble for no reason, it is not impossible for Sarutobi Hiruza to do him a favor. After all, the relationship between the two is indeed very good, and Marutani Ko is obviously on his side. Coupled with the fact that he has not lost any of the challenges he has undertaken in the recent period, both his reputation and his strength have reached a new peak in a short period of time.

"Of course there are more than a few chunin-level ninjas in Konoha, but everyone is different from you. Most of them have been sent out to perform missions."

Marutani Kou's face turned black, what do you mean he's different from me!

"So, if I want to continue to challenge the ninjas of the Chunin level, do I have to wait for the ninjas who left the village to come back?"

Wouldn't that be a long wait?Then what should I do with my own mission? It's not an option to keep procrastinating!

"Can't you challenge a jounin?"

"If I can challenge it, can I still challenge the Chunin?"

It's not that Marutani Koko has never tried the challenge of Jonin. When he was at Hinata's house, he tried two moves with Hinata Higashi, and then he was laughed at by Sasuke who was watching the battle for a long time.

md, what a shame.

"However, if you are willing to leave the village, there is another way on my side."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were like a ray of sunlight, shining on Marutani Koko's heart, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"any solution!"

"Didn't I just say that there are many Chunin in the village who are out on missions?"

"what do you mean?"

"Let's get out of the village," Hiruzaru Sarutobi took out a copy from the pile of documents on the side of the table, and placed it in front of Marutani Kou, "The village just recently got some new clues about Orochimaru, Kakashi and Itachi doesn't have time this time, you can be considered a person with investigation experience, so just follow the team this time."

"emmmmmm."

Are you leaving the village again?
In fact, Marutani Koko himself is not very happy to leave the village, but when he thinks that he is still more than 200 people away from completing the task, he can't help himself. The task still has to be done, otherwise how can he continue to hang up?

But before that, Marutani Airlines still has a question.

"But, how are we going to find other Chunin when we go out?"

"I will tell the rest of your team when the time comes, so you can rest assured."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his hand, and drove out the speechless Marutani Kou.

Well, it seems to be going out again.
