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

Chapter 131: The Pea Shooter beats Rock Lee violently, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is puzzled: I didn't make any arrangements.
Having said that, Maki did not allow Temari and Kankuro to refuse and walked over first.

Seeing this scene, Kankuro and Temari looked at each other.

Is their teacher making a big deal out of nothing?

Temari and Kankuro looked at each other, both with a hint of helplessness in their expressions.

However, they also felt that the teacher might have overreacted.

But they knew very well that once Maki made a decision, it would be almost impossible for anyone to change it.

Kankuro shrugged helplessly and whispered, "Looks like things are going to get out of hand."

Temari sighed and said nothing more.

Kankuro's puppet had been shattered, and his own iron fan had also been badly damaged, and indeed this conflict had greatly reduced their strength.

Especially when facing the Chunin Exam, losing your weapon would be a fatal blow.

"Let's go, let's not delay any longer."

Temari finally gave in and followed Maki, with Kankuro following closely behind.

Although they both had some doubts in their hearts, they still chose to follow the teacher's decision.

After all, as representatives of the Sand Village, they must uphold the dignity of the village.

Even if things get out of hand, we must seek justice from Konoha.

The three of them walked towards the office of the Hokage of Konoha Village.

Maki's aura was heavy and cold, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on the tense relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha.

The Konoha ninjas passing by all looked sideways, feeling the hidden anger and oppression coming from the Sand Village ninjas.

"what's the situation?"

"Aren't those from the Sand Village? Are they angry?"

"How ridiculous! You come to our Konoha Village and dare to show your disdain?"

"Say less, he's a jonin from the Sand Village. But why is he so aggressive? What's going on?"

One by one, the ninjas and villagers of Konoha Village were all surprised when they saw this scene.

Some people even started discussing in low voices.

These words reached Maki's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them and went straight to the office of the Third Hokage.

The Hokage's office stands in the center of Konoha Village, like a majestic fortress, symbolizing the authority and rule of the village.

When the three approached, the Konoha ninja guarding the door immediately noticed their unusual behavior and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

"We have something to see the Hokage about."

Maki was blunt, his voice was cold and firm, with an attitude that left no room for doubt.

As he spoke, Maki's eyes were fixed on the ninja guarding the gate, like a warrior who would not back down and was ready to face a storm at any time.

"Please wait a moment, we will report to Lord Hokage." One of the ninjas looked at them warily and immediately turned inside to report.

Temari and Kankuro stood behind Maki, each with a different look on their face.

Temari frowned slightly. Although she was worried, she couldn't turn back at this moment.

She knew that no matter what, they had to wait for an explanation.

Kankuro clenched his fists, obviously still feeling frustrated and angry about what had happened before.

The weapons were shattered before anyone was even seen.

What a shame!
After a while, the door to the Hokage's office slowly opened and the three of them were led into the office.

In the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting behind the desk with a calm and majestic expression.

His eyes swept over Maki and the other two, and he instantly sensed the dissatisfaction and suppressed anger from them.

Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke softly, "Everyone from Sunagakure, what's the matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was gentle yet dignified, and his eyes were somewhat inquiring.

Maki took a step forward without hesitation and said in a stern tone: "Hokage, our Sand Village ninjas were attacked in Konoha Village. My student Kankuro's puppet was destroyed and Temari's weapon was seriously damaged. We in the Sand Village need an explanation!"

The Hokage frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Attack? Who do you mean? In Konoha Village?"

I have specifically instructed that when ninjas from all over the country gather in Konoha to take the exam, all they have to do is pay attention.

But no one would attack ninjas from other ninja villages.

Because it's completely unnecessary.

From what Maki said, it was obvious that Temari and Kankuro were attacked in Konoha Village?
Who will attack them?

He also asked the leader of the Sand Village's jonin to come look for him in person.

Isn't this intentionally giving the other party a handle?

Maki's eyes were sharp and his tone was unquestionable: "According to my students, no enemy was seen, but this is definitely not a trivial matter. No matter who it is, they should not attack our Sunagakure ninjas, especially at such a sensitive moment!"

"Our Sand Village ninjas were attacked in your Konoha Village. You, Konoha Village, must be held responsible!"

After hearing what Maki said, the Third Hokage's expression remained calm, but he had already begun to think about the complexity of the matter.

He knew that Sunagakure's intentions would never be downplayed, and this storm would obviously not be easily settled.

Glancing at Kankuro and Temari, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since you have suffered such a fate in Konoha Village, it is naturally the responsibility of Konoha Village. I will personally investigate and give you an explanation."

"In addition, we in Konoha Village will be responsible for rebuilding the damaged ninja tools of your two students and ensure that they are delivered to you before the Chunin Exam."

"what do you think?"

"can!"

Hearing this, Maki nodded readily.

As the Hokage of Konoha Village, being able to say this already represented a concession, and he was already satisfied.

After all, he came to the Hokage's office this time not specifically because of what his students had done.

But let's take a look at the terrain.

"Ah."

Seeing Maki nod readily, Sarutobi Hiruzen also nodded with satisfaction.

It’s not so aggressive anymore, which is good.

Then, Maki left with Temari and Kankuro.

"Go find out what's going on."

After watching Temari and Kankuro leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered the Anbu ninja in the dark: "Look who attacked the ninjas of the Sand Village. This kind of thing should not remain unknown."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, an Anbu ninja immediately left to investigate.

"What a troubled time."

After giving the order, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and continued to look at the crystal ball in front of him.

In the crystal ball appeared Uzumaki Naruto and others led by Kakashi.

Even when Kakashi led the team back, they only rested for one night and continued to join Uzumaki Naruto for training the next day.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Naruto in the crystal ball with a satisfied look on his face.

Time passed quietly.

It doesn't take a while.

The Anbu ninja who had left reappeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said respectfully: "Hokage, the general situation has been found out."

"Today, several people from the Sand Village registered to enter the village and moved into the accommodation arranged in advance."

"After making the arrangements, they went out for a stroll and met your grandson, Hokage-sama."

"Konohamaru?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking, was suddenly shocked and narrowed his eyes: "What does this have to do with Konohamaru?"

"Hokage, your grandson ran too fast early in the morning and bumped into a ninja from the Sand Village. He was picked up by the ninja from the Sand Village."

The ANBU ninja whispered, "I went to Konohamaru to learn about this matter."

"Then after being lifted up, Kazesatsura Moegi tried to stop him and was also lifted up."

"Then we encountered an unknown attack. A very terrifying hidden weapon shattered the weapons of the two Sand Village ninjas from a distance. That's what happened."

In the eyes of the Anbu ninjas, it is very likely that the hidden ninjas arranged by the Third Hokage are protecting the Konoha Village in secret.

So after their investigation reached this point, they stopped and did not ask Konohamaru any more questions.

And the Third Hokage should also be able to understand.

When the Anbu ninja stopped talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

He naturally understood what this Anbu ninja meant.

I learned this from Konohamaru.

But in fact, he didn't arrange any ninja for Konohamaru at all!
Even his grandson.

Konohamaru is known to everyone in the entire Konoha Village, and he has no outstanding talents. He is just a child and does not need any arrangements.

But now, the ninja weapons of the Sand Village are broken. Is it related to Konohamaru being bullied?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very puzzled.

Was it some senior ninja who saw it secretly and took action?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it and only thought of this situation and reason.

Otherwise, there is no explanation. Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Let's stop here. Also, let's do a simple investigation of the surrounding situation at that time to see if there were any ninjas passing by."

"Yes."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the Anbu ninja nodded.

However, after hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, he said, "Also, this morning, when the ninjas in the Sand Village were attacked, the Hyuga clan leader Hiashi passed by with Hinata and Miss Hanabi, and some villagers saw it."

"Hinata Hiashi?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "He should be taking his two daughters out for a stroll."

He also didn't think that this was something Hyuga Hiashi could do.

Then, the Anbu ninja left, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and continued to deal with things.

And at this time.

the other side.

Temari and Kankuro, who had already returned to their residence, also saw ninjas from Konoha Village coming and taking away their weapons.

"Teacher, the ninjas of Konoha Village will not be doing anything hidden while repairing our weapons."

Thinking of his precious crow puppet, Kanjiro hesitated and said, "It would be bad if he hid his hand."

"You take yourself too seriously, Kankuro."

Hearing this, Maki sneered: "You are a Genin who came to participate in the Chunin Exam, but you are just a puppet. If there is any hidden trick in the exam room, do you think it is our Sand Village that is embarrassed, or his Konoha Village that is embarrassed?"

"You don't have to worry about your puppet. After your puppet is repaired, it will only be better than the original one."

Kankuro was stunned when he heard Maki's impolite words, and then he felt completely relieved.

Yes.

The Konoha Village would not play tricks on a Genin from the Sand Village who came to take the Chunin Exam.

It's not necessary.

"That's the end of the matter."

Maki said, "In the next few days, you should behave yourself and don't leave any handle for Konoha Village."

"Yes."

Hearing what Maki said, Kankuro nodded quickly.

Then Maki left.

"I'm going out for a walk."

Seeing this, Temari spoke, said something and went out.

There is no need to worry about the weapons issue, so I can go out and relax and take a good look around Konoha Village.

What happened today can be considered an unexpected disaster.

Looking at Temari leaving, Kankuro was silent for a moment. He did not go out, but stayed there honestly.

at the same time.

the other side.

Rock Lee, with excitement on his face, followed Might Guy out of the ninja tool shop run by Tenten's family and walked towards the can shop.

"Teacher Kai, are you really not going to open it?"

Holding the hand that Teacher Kai gave him, Rock Lee said quickly, "I have already opened three jars, and you haven't opened any yet."

"Kakashi and I already opened the can yesterday."

Hearing Rock Lee's words, Might Guy laughed heartily and said, "And you have good luck. I believe you will definitely get something good this time."

"Opening the jar will improve you more than it will improve me. I'm a jonin, and there's no level of improvement I can achieve."

"And even if you're promoted you'll still be a jonin. You're not very strong right now, so you'll definitely benefit more from opening the jar than I will."

"Lee, don't make me say it a third time!"

At this point, Might Guy stopped and looked at Rock Lee rubbing his hands together.

"I understand, Mr. Kai!"

Hearing Might Guy's words, Rock Lee was immediately moved and wiped away his tears.

Just like that, the two of them quickly walked into the jar shop.

"Good morning, shopkeeper."

As soon as he entered the jar shop, Might Guy greeted Lin Mo with a hearty smile.

"Ah."

Looking at Rock Lee and Might Guy who came again, Lin Mo nodded.

I didn't expect these two people would come again today.

I can sell jars again.

And Rock Lee was also preparing to greet Lin Mo first.

But the next second, his eyes fell on a corner of the store, and his eyes suddenly widened: "What is that?"

What Rock Lee saw was the Pea Shooter with a strange appearance.

This extremely sturdy plant has a green stem on its head, and the most eye-catching thing is its round, launcher-like mouth, which looks like it is waiting for the right moment, ready to shoot peas at any time.

"Wow! What kind of plant is this?"

But in an instant, Rock Lee was instantly attracted, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly to Might Guy: "Teacher Guy! Look, this plant is so special!"

Might Guy heard this and turned to look.

When he saw the Pea Shooter, his eyes lit up slightly and he nodded: "Hmm! This plant looks full of power! Its breath is as vigorous as your youth!"

The plants here are really special.

But is that thing alive?
While Might Guy was watching, Rock Lee listened with excitement, his face full of eagerness to try.

He was completely attracted by the appearance of the pea shooter and did not notice its slightly shaking stem and gradually heavier aura.

"Let me touch this plant and see how special it is!"

Rock Lee excitedly stretched out his hand and touched the top of the Pea Shooter's head without hesitation.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the Pea Shooter, the Pea Shooter suddenly shook violently, the stem above its head quickly rose up, and a green pea faintly condensed in its mouth.

"Lee, be careful!" Might Guy's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke out to warn.

However, before Rock Lee could withdraw his attack, the Pea Shooter, as if feeling a huge threat, suddenly fired out peas one after another, heading straight towards Rock Lee!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The peas shot towards Rock Lee's body with great impact. Each pea was like a thousand-pound stone and hit him instantly!
"Ow!"

Rock Lee was caught off guard and was knocked back repeatedly. A painful expression appeared on his face. He protected his head with both hands and cried out, "Ouch! It hurts! Teacher Kai, help me!"

The Pea Shooter seemed to be irritated and had no intention of stopping.

"Shhhhhh!"

Its mouth continuously sprayed out peas, one per second, hitting Rock Lee's body accurately, and each pea made a dull impact sound.

"Bang bang bang!"

Rock Lee seemed to be overwhelmed by the rain of attacks. He jumped in pain and had no time to dodge. He could only keep waving his arms to try to resist.

"Li, hold on! This is a test of youth!"

Seeing this, Might Guy's eyes widened, but he still said so.

He subconsciously glanced at Lin Mo and found that Lin Mo had a strange expression on his face. Might Guy immediately felt that this thing should not be dangerous.

But his eyes were full of tension.

Looking at Rock Lee who was screaming and holding his head, Might Guy immediately rushed forward and tried to help Rock Lee block the attack of the peas.

At this moment, the Pea Shooter suddenly seemed to be irritated. Its stem instantly became straight and its mouth suddenly swelled up.

Then, 60 peas were shot out in an instant!
"Shhhhhh!"

These peas flew towards Rock Lee and Might Guy as densely as a string of cannonballs.

“Bang bang bang bang bang—!”

Countless peas hit Rock Lee and Might Guy one after another, and the sound echoed throughout the store.

Rock Lee was completely beaten and ran away, shouting in pain: "No! I can't hold on any longer, Teacher Kai, it hurts too much!"

Although Might Guy was physically strong, he was still forced to retreat repeatedly in the face of the Pea Shooter's continuous and violent attacks. He was even hit several times and gasped in pain.

But he still gritted his teeth and tried his best to protect Rock Lee, while shouting: "Rock, this is the baptism of youth! Hold on!"

"Teacher Kai, this is too much!"

Rock Lee's face was distorted by pain, and his tone was filled with helplessness and pain.

Finally, under the continuous attack, the Pea Shooter seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, gradually slowed down the frequency of attack, and finally stopped.

Rock Lee and Might Guy were covered in marks of peas. Rock Lee collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his face looking embarrassed. His clothes were wrinkled by the peas and his muscles were aching slightly.

"Teacher Kaikai, I think I won't touch it anymore."

Rock Lee said weakly, a hint of pain still on his face.

Might Guy walked over with a laugh and patted Rock Lee on the shoulder.

Although he himself suffered a lot of blows, he still cheered up: "Locke, this is youth! Pain is also a part of youth!"
