Naruto: Red-Haired Shanks of Konoha

After Shanks got the inheritance of the Uzumaki clan, he gave the secret scroll directly to Naru.

In fact, this thing was originally brought back for Naruto, and it took chakra to open the secret scroll, so all the food and drink during this time Shanks was paid for by Naruto.

And in Naruto's opinion, Shanks gave him this thing, just trusting him!

That's the strength of a sea pirate

, so Naruto really used it casually, because in his opinion, Shanks didn't need him to save money at all, this was one of the four emperors, Shanks's treasure.

So during this period of leisure, Shanks took Naruto and his party to wander around Konoha to help Naruto, a poor child, establish a healthy concept of consumption - the consumption concept of pirates!

It can be said that during this period of time, Naruto couldn't have imagined that the set of clothes on his body was ordered by him in one go, and he prepared all the clothes he would wear in the next few years.

In addition to this, Naruto also used money to buy friendship.

Well, it's actually a lot of going to the yakiniku restaurant of the Akido family, and Naruto has a lot of money.

And Naruto never felt that the money was his own, as a sensible child who would think about others, Naruto fully learned Shanks's sea pirate method - treats.

Who is invited? Who else can come so often? Naruto's grade, only Akido Dingji is the only one who is looking for food every day.

And Naruto also became good friends with Ding Ji during this time, and of course, Shanks also got acquainted with some of the upper ninjas in the village during this time.

Shanks doesn't know what social phobia is, and he is a complete social, and he can go to other people's houses with slippers.

If someone else does this, some people in big families will only feel rude, because it is really rude.

However, after this group of people came into contact with Shanks, what is a faux pas?

Shanks is informal, straightforward!

All in all, in just a few days, Shanks, who has social, has become familiar with a group of ninjas, patriarchs, and so on of a large family.

And today, as usual, a rare break, since Kakashi has been studying the swordsmanship left behind by his father lately, Shanks has come over with a few children to wander around, and he temporarily takes Kakashi's place.

"Brother Shanks, hiccup~ There have been a lot of strangers in the village recently!"

Naruto lay on the table, he had already eaten.

"yes, as if something big is wrong.

Sakura on the side also said curiously, after returning from the country of waves, she will also follow Naruto and Sasuke to practice hard.

And with the guidance of Shanks and Kakashi, plus Sakura's own great efforts, Sakura's strength has basically not improved at all during this time.

But the relationship between the three of them is much closer.

"Huh, haven't you paid attention to this kind of thing in Konoha for so long?"

Shanks certainly knew what was going on, and he had met quite a few ninjas from other villages during this time.

"The middle ninja exam is coming.

Sasuke on the side coldly explained to his two teammates that Sasuke also had a ninja knife on his side, and he was the most improved of the three.

The shattered pride seemed to be Sasuke's motivation, and although Kakashi and Shanks didn't teach much, Sasuke was the one who learned the most.

With his current strength, he can already deal with ordinary Zhongnin outside.

"What is that?"

Naruto continued to ask.

"It's an exam that's similar to the lower ninja exam, and every middle ninja exam is held in the ninja village of

the five great powers...... "The five great powers are ...... again

" "Shut up and just keep listening!"

Shanks bit the greasy pig's foot and slapped Naruto's head, this guy doesn't learn anything, and he has so many questions all day long.

Shanks then picked up his little notebook and explained it to Naruto again.

"I don't know how to ...... myself

" "Smack!"

was another slap, but this time it was blocked by Naruto picking up a large piece of pork thigh meat on the table.

"This year, it's Konoha's turn to hold the middle ninja exam, and at this time of year, each ninja village will send shinobi to participate in the exam.

On the one hand, it is to show the strength of his ninja village, and on the other hand, it is also an exchange between various ninja villages. "

Show your strength?"

Sasuke didn't understand this.

"Yes, after all, in peacetime, it is impossible and impossible for the ninja villages to clash with each other, especially between the great ninja villages.

And the Zhongnin exam is a way to show the strength of your village, and it is also a way to communicate between various villages.

"Because in addition to the ninja villages of the five major countries, there are also many small ninja villages, and in this regard, it is mainly for the consideration of these small ninja villages.

Shanks explained here, but when he explained this, he found that even Sasuke was a little confused.

"Ahh

Shanks laughed, this kind of "political" issue is not in their consideration.

However, the manager of the barbecue restaurant not far away was shocked when he heard Shanks' last words...... But then he was back to normal.

On the other side, Naruto was instantly interested when he heard that this was actually something that the Hokage needed to consider.

"Brother Shanks, I'm ......"

Before Naruto could say anything, he found himself stared at by three pairs of vicious eyes, as if he was going to be eaten alive, and Sakura's fists were almost unable to hold back.

"I...... I'm fine.

Naruto slumped back onto the table and continued listening.

"What you have to know is that only after passing the middle ninja exam can you become a middle ninja.

And only after becoming a middle ninja can you become a top ninja...... "

Ahh

"It's not, in fact, it doesn't matter if it's a lower ninja, a middle ninja or an upper ninja, or a shadow ...... It's just a rough judgment of the ninja's strength.

As long as you're strong enough, even Shinobi can become a kage!"

"Oh, really?"

The next moment, Naruto's self-confidence returned, as if he could become Hokage tomorrow.

"Really, but it's going to be embarrassing.

So you must pass the Zhongnin exam.

Shanks laughed and said the news.

At this moment, three people, including Sasuke, were petrified ......

"Alas!??"

Naruto and Sakura's voices raised several degrees.

"It's only been long since we've been shinobi!"

"yes, Shanks-sama, ......

" "It's Kakashi's decision, and it's ...... How can you be afraid if you haven't done it yet? You know, people who dream will not be knocked down by difficulties.

"The waves of the sea don't stop because the sailors are afraid!

The last lesson of the day is to teach you how to face difficulties!"

Shanks stood up, and Naruto and Sasuke were stunned for a moment when they saw Shanks' appearance.

"That's right...... If you want to become a Hokage, you can't give up halfway!!"

"That man, I won't be benevolent because I'm too weak!" Sasuke's

eyes flashed with fierceness, and he stood up with Naruto, and Sakura also stood up.

On the eve of the Zhongnin exam, Shanks wants to teach these little guys a good last lesson!

It's just that the four of them haven't been out for long, and they are around the corner...... Shanks and I-Airo collided directly, and the sand in my Airo's gourd struck directly at Shanks at this moment.

"Bang!!"

a dark shadow flew upside down.
