In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 121: Asuma Sarutobi frowns; Might Guy: Kakashi, lend me some money; Kakashi: How much? !
"You, how can you be so shameless?"

Haruno Sakura looked at Uzumaki Naruto in shock, "You actually said you are invincible in the Chunin Exam?"

What a joke.

That's the Chunin Exam!
As they had just graduated from the Ninja School, even if they were Genin, they had only just come into contact with real ninja knowledge.

And in the Chunin Exam, one will face many experienced Genin.

They have various mission experiences, training experiences, etc. that last at least a year. How can Uzumaki Naruto say so confidently that he is invincible as a Chunin?

Although Uzumaki Naruto worked very hard, he was able to master the powerful Shadow Clone Technique.

But the day before yesterday he was still practicing using chakra to run on the water. Is he qualified to take part in the Chunin Exam?

Even Uchiha Sasuke could not help but remain silent when he saw Uzumaki Naruto, who was thinking with his chin clenched and a serious expression.

Is this tail-ender really that exaggerated?
"Hey Hey hey!"

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke's suspicious eyes and Haruno Sakura's shock, Uzumaki Naruto's face darkened: "Do you look down on me so much? I am very strong!"

If possible, Uzumaki Naruto would make a Rasengan right now and shock the two of them!
"Naruto, don't use the term 'master' when speaking."

Kakashi felt a little tired: "Speak normally."

"Anyway, let's eat our noodles. Go back and think about whether you want to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Speaking of the Chunin Exam, Kakashi's eyes became serious: "Remember, this is your only chance this year."

After hearing Kakashi's words, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke's expressions suddenly became solemn.

Since even Teacher Kakashi is so serious, it seems that this Chunin Exam really is an opportunity?

For a moment, several people ate ramen with mixed thoughts.

After eating and drinking, Uchiha Sasuke left first to go back to training.

And Uzumaki Naruto also left in a hurry.

Haruno Sakura also went back.

Only Kakashi stayed there for a while and then chose to follow Uzumaki Naruto in secret.

He wanted to see what Naruto was going to do this afternoon.

He was still very curious about where the comic book Naruto had in his pocket outside the village came from.

Kakashi's figure was hidden in the darkness like a ghost, following Uzumaki Naruto closely.

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, and the mottled light and shadows sway gently in the wind.

Kakashi always kept a certain distance, so as not to alarm Naruto but also to clearly observe his actions.

Follow all the way until Naruto finally returns home.

Naruto opened the door, threw his coat aside, and sat down at the table.

Then he took out a scroll and spread it out on the table.

Kakashi stood outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The scroll that Uzumaki Naruto just held in his hand seemed to have appeared out of thin air?
Didn't you take it out of the drawer?
Then, Kakashi's Sharingan appeared again, trying to see the contents of the scroll in Naruto's hand from a distance.

As the scroll in Naruto's hand gradually unfolded, Kakashi's brows furrowed more and more.

He saw that the scroll was covered with densely packed words and patterns.

He was very familiar with these handwriting and patterns.

In just a few seconds, Kakashi's eyes showed shock.

That is the practice method of Eight Gates Ninjutsu!
How did the practice method of Eight Gates Ninjutsu end up in Naruto's hands?
Kakashi stared at Uzumaki Naruto intently.

And Uzumaki Naruto began to study the contents of the scroll carefully.

Naruto frowned and muttered to himself, as if he was thinking and understanding something seriously.

As Naruto practiced, his chakra flowed slowly in his body, and there were even signs of opening the first gate.

Because the first of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu was the one he came into contact with at that time.

He has been practicing since returning the sealed book.

"This is impossible."

Kakashi, who had been watching, was shocked.

He could not understand how Naruto got the training scroll of Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

You know, the Eight Gates Ninjutsu is an extremely dangerous forbidden technique.

Even a jonin may not be able to master it.

What's more, the scroll in Naruto's hand actually contains four training methods!

His Sharingan was not mistaken.

The shock in Kakashi's eyes gradually turned into suspicion.

Where did Uzumaki Naruto get this training scroll?
"Is it the Book of Seals?"

Kakashi thought about what happened a week ago.

Could it be that Naruto learned more than just the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique at that time?

Could it be that he had seen other forbidden techniques in the Sealed Book?
What on earth are you thinking, three generations?

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and pondered.

The Sealed Book records all the extremely important forbidden techniques in the village. If Naruto had really learned more than one technique at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

What's more, the art of Eight Gates Ninjutsu is extremely dangerous just by learning it.

I know this very well from Kai's words.

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto who was practicing the Eight Gates Ninjutsu seriously, Kakashi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He decided to continue observing Uzumaki Naruto to see how Uzumaki Naruto learned the Eight Gates.

Under Kakashi's gaze, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly nodded, and stopped what he was doing with an expression of understanding.

Uzumaki Naruto took a deep breath and began to follow the instructions on the scroll, trying to concentrate the chakra on various parts of his body, preparing to practice the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

"How daring, this boy."

Seeing this scene, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As someone who is familiar with Kai, he knows how risky the Eight Gates Ninjutsu is.

Even for a jonin, it is not easy to practice this kind of ninjutsu.

And Naruto is a Genin.

However, considering the chakra in Naruto's body, Kakashi fell into deep thought.

Kakashi continued to hide in the dark, silently watching Uzumaki Naruto's every move.

He felt that Naruto might hold many more secrets than he thought.

At least, during his free time outside the village, Uzumaki Naruto did not take out this kind of scroll to practice.

I didn't take it out to practice until I returned to the village.

Where did this come from?

Thinking back to Uzumaki Naruto's night meeting with Zabuza the night before, Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

Time passed quietly.

As time passed, the sun gradually set and the light in the house became dim.

Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was still insisting on practicing, and was amazed in his heart, could Uzumaki Naruto really have such perseverance?
"Wang"

At this moment, a dog suddenly appeared at Kakashi's feet and bit Kakashi's trouser leg.

Kakashi lowered his head, but his brows furrowed slightly in an instant.

Hokage summoned?
Immediately, Kakashi left without any hesitation and went straight to the Hokage's office.

When Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's office, he could see some senior ninjas arriving from afar, all of them having been summoned.

There are not only jonin, but also chunin.

Time passed quietly.

In Kakashi's sight, he soon saw Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi and others coming.

In an instant, Kakashi understood.

It looks like the Chunin Exams have been announced.

"Everyone!"

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door and walked in. He sat down, looked around at the familiar faces present, nodded and said, "The purpose of calling everyone here is nothing else, I'm sure you all know it."

"The Chunin Exams?"

"Today I have seen ninjas from other countries come to Konoha to register in advance."

"It's too fast, Hokage-sama, can't you slow down time a little bit?"

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the ninjas present spoke up.

Most of those who spoke were Chunins, while Jonins rarely spoke.

Because they knew some news in advance.

By the time they knew about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already informed other countries, not to mention the official notification now.

So they were not surprised at all.

"Ninjas from other villages have already arrived. Now I officially announce that we will hold the Chunin Selection Exam seven days from now on July 1st!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the people present and said slowly: "Now please ask the jonin who is in charge of instructing the new genin to stand up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi came out immediately.

Originally, Might Guy was also preparing to go forward.

But when he remembered that the Hokage was talking about a newcomer, he stopped immediately and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"As a guiding jonin, the genin you lead are not ordinary genin. Are there any suitable candidates among the people you are responsible for?" Sarutobi Hitoshi clasped his hands together, looked at the three people present and said slowly: "The basic requirement is to complete eight tasks."

"I, Kakashi's Team 7, recommend Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Haruno Sakura to participate in the Chunin Exam under my name, Kakashi."

Kakashi spoke without hesitation, causing the pupils of the ninja present to shrink sharply.

"No way, I remember Kakashi Jonin had only been training the graduated Genin for a short time? One week?"

"Two weeks, huh? But it seems like it takes no more than ten days for a Genin to graduate."

"Is this a Jonin? This is too much. He actually recommended a student whom he has taught for less than a month to participate in the Chunin Exam."

"Don't forget Kakashi's reputation as a jonin. The team he leads is definitely different from the ones others lead."

Hearing Kakashi's words, the ninjas present looked at Kakashi with surprise.

Hinata Hiashi couldn't help but narrow his eyes and thought of Uzumaki Naruto opening the jar.

Did that kid let Kakashi know about the jar shop?

"Ah."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard what Kakashi said, he nodded slowly: "Kakashi, the team you led completed an additional B-rank mission, so they can be qualified as an exception."

"what?!"

Hearing this, the ninjas present were shocked again.

Kakashi actually took the newly graduated ninja students with him to carry out a B-level mission?
They didn't think Kakashi would take extra care of the newcomer.

After all, they had all heard of the reputation of Kakashi's team.

"I, Team 8 of Kurenai Yuhi, recommend Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame to participate in the Chunin Exam under the name of Kurenai Yuhi Jonin."

Yuhi Kurenai spoke without hesitation.

Although she planned to take Hinata and others on the mission, the Chunin Exam was approaching, so at least they needed enough time to complete the mission.

The most important thing is that it can open the can.

She knew all too well the power Hinata now wielded.

This is something I have discussed with Hinata Hiashi.

"I, Asuma's Tenth Team, recommend Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji to participate in the Chunin Exam under the name of Asuma Sarutobi."

Asuma Sarutobi also spoke up, to which Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, not at all surprised.

The others present thought of the new ninjas these two men brought with them and nodded.

Whether it is the Nara clan or the Hyuga clan, they are all family ninjas of Konoha, different from ordinary ninjas.

They understand.

"Wait a moment!"

Iruka stood up hurriedly: "Hokage, please allow me to say a few words."

"Well, go ahead." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

The other ninja present also looked at Iruka.

And Iruka hurriedly said: "Although I am a little rude now, the Genin I just recommended are all my students in school. Although they are all outstanding, it is too early to let them take part in the Chunin Exam now."

"At the very least, we should let them gain some experience. That's why I cannot agree with the recommendations of Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi."

Hearing Iruka's words, Kakashi said calmly: "When I became a Chunin, I was six years younger than Naruto."

"You can't compare like that!"

Hearing this, Iruka hurriedly said: "The education you received then is different from what they are receiving now. You will ruin them by doing this. Everyone knows that the Chunin Exam is called."

"I personally led the team to carry out a B-rank mission, and they performed well. It's a good opportunity for them to get a taste of the Chunin Exams."

Kakashi said calmly: "Don't think of them as students of the ninja school. From the moment they graduated, they were already ninjas and my subordinates. I know them very well."

"In that case, I need the applications from Uzumaki Naruto and the other two."

Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "I still have to see what they want."

"no problem."

Kakashi nodded.

"This guy."

Beside him, Asuma Sarutobi looked at Kakashi with a frown on his face.

He could understand the team led by Yuhi Kurenai.

After all, they are all ninjas from big families and have received different educations since childhood.

The team he leads is also from the Ninja family and is different from ordinary people.

But among the three people Kakashi brought with him, in addition to a Jinchūriki, there was also a civilian ninja and an orphan who had not received any ninja family education.

Even if you possess a bloodline limit like the Sharingan, it is still not enough.

Kakashi actually let them take part in the Chunin Exam.

This guy is really crazy.

"That'll be it for now then."

Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "In the next week, people from other ninja villages will come here one after another. What you need to do is to strengthen martial law, maintain basic order, and guard the places during normal times."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to give orders, everyone present nodded.

Eventually, with the disbandment, I left.

"Kakashi, are you crazy?"

As everyone dispersed and Kakashi left, preparing to continue watching Naruto, Might Guy ran over directly.

Then he punched Kakashi on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Your actions are too dangerous. It's too risky for your team to do this."

"Even my own students have to train for a year before I allow them to take the Chunin Exam."

"Kai, it's different."

Kakashi shook his head and said, "This time when I led the team out, their performance was beyond my expectations. The students you led were civilian ninjas, and there was only one in my team."

At this point, Kakashi paused, causing Might Guy's expression to change, and he hurriedly said, "Ningji is not a commoner."

"But he's the only one."

Kakashi said in a dark tone: "If I remember correctly, neither Rock Lee nor Tenten have the talent for ninjutsu, so they need time to practice and hone their taijutsu and their own advantages, but my team doesn't know how to do that."

Hearing this, Might Guy frowned.

Indeed, neither Tenten nor Rock Lee have any talent for ninjutsu, so they need time to practice taijutsu.

"Besides, I am only recommending you. It is up to Naruto and the others whether they will participate or not."

Kakashi shook his head and said, "If they don't participate, my recommendation is useless."

"Too."

Hearing this, Might Guy let out a long sigh: "I almost forgot about it."

Yes.

Even if a student is recommended by his team leader, he doesn't have to participate if he doesn't want to.

I am confused myself.

"In that case, Kakashi, let's talk about something else."

The next second, Might Guy changed the subject and squinted his eyes and said, "Do you have any money? Lend me some."

Kakashi: “????”

"You're asking me to borrow money?!"

Hearing Might Guy's words, Kakashi's eyes suddenly widened with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Kakashi looked up at the setting sun, then looked at Might Guy who was rubbing his hands in front of him, and immediately fell into deep thought.

This guy still wants to borrow money from me?

The last person who stood in front of him and rubbed his hands to borrow money was Uzumaki Naruto.

"What do you want the money for?"

Kakashi frowned slightly: "Could it be that the equipment for the physical training has been replaced?"

Compared to ninjutsu, although taijutsu saves money, it also costs a lot of money.

But Kakashi knew that Might Guy had completed many missions.

In addition, the team he leads has a ninja tool shop, so the equipment needed for physical techniques can definitely be obtained at a discounted price.

"It's not a taijutsu device."

Might Guy narrowed his eyes and said, "I need a large sum of money right now. Well, at least millions. If you are willing to lend it to me, I can tell you a big secret."

"By the way, I can also lend you my new equipment."

Having said that, Might Guy called Kakashi to follow him.

"How many?????"

Hearing what Might Guy said, Kakashi's eyelids twitched and he looked at Might Guy very seriously.

Did I just hear it wrong?
I didn’t hear it wrong.

Millions?
"Yes, millions!"

Might Guy looked at Kakashi very seriously: "And the secret I told you is definitely worth it!"

Kakashi: “.”

"I don't have that much money."

Kakashi's mouth twitched slightly: "How do you think I have so much money?"
