Escape From Konoha

In mid-April, more than half a month had passed since the initial start of the mission.

In the past half a month, the seventh class led by Kakashi has successfully completed more than 20 D-level tasks.

After getting along for more than half a month, the four people in the team more or less have a deeper understanding of their companions in a team.

Coupled with the tempering of so many D-level tasks, I can't bear to say that Kakashi's guidance aside, the three people in the team clearly have a sense of group. At that time, there was still a lot of tacit understanding.

This is also the greatest significance of the D-level mission.

And temporarily let go of Anbu's work, Kakashi's life has become more leisurely, and gradually enjoy this rare vacation career.

Although the work as a guide is also very busy, but compared to the dark working hours in Anbu, guiding the life of the jounin is no different from a vacation to Kakashi.

What's more, every time the team completes a D-rank task, he can take half of the reward from it as the guidance fee for the Jōnin.

Especially seeing his wallet swell day by day, this feeling of fullness in the wallet makes Kakashi feel great satisfaction both physically and mentally.

However, when Kakashi enjoyed this hard-won vacation, Naruto in the team began to be unhappy.

"Every time we complete a task, we have to take half of the instruction fee, but I didn't see how Kakashi-sensei would instruct us? Besides, these days are all very boring tasks."

It was rare that Kakashi was not late this morning, but after meeting the three at the meeting point, Kakashi heard Naruto's loud voice complaining constantly there.

He clasped his hands on his chest, as if he was too lazy to move.

Sasuke and Sakura are used to this, and Naruto's character will become very stubborn when they encounter things they are passionate about.

But if it's something he thinks is boring, it's at most three minutes of heat. If you want to keep him going, if there is no way to divert his attention, it is impossible for ten cows to pull him back.

Seeing Naruto's rogue attitude, Kakashi also scratched his head, but he was not embarrassed.

"How many times have I said that, taking half of the guidance fee is a rule that was made at the beginning of the village's establishment."

"Hmph, anyway, Kakashi-sensei is just greedy for petty gain. You're an adult, so shameless."

Naruto pouted.

"That's too much to say..."

Even if Kakashi persuaded him, Naruto ignored him.

Seeing this, Kakashi had to sigh, put on a gesture of surrender and said: "Okay, I know, I won't do the task for the time being today, let me guide you in your practice. In this way, I will take the guidance fee and this Let’s get over the matter, right? Lest someone say that I don’t do anything with money.”

"Isn't it worth it earlier?"

Naruto glared at Kakashi in dissatisfaction.

"It's a rule for beginners to start with D-level tasks. If you want to perform tasks of higher difficulty, then follow my instructions carefully."

Kakashi glanced at Naruto.

Ranked by strength, his strength naturally ranks first.

The second is Sasuke, and the next is Naruto.

Because Sakura is a medical ninja, she does not need too strict requirements in terms of strength. Of course, if you can master better survival skills, the role of medical ninjas in the team will be greatly increased.

Sasuke's problem is not difficult to solve, and he has the ability to participate in more difficult C-level and B-level tasks.

But with Naruto and Sakura's attitude, the C-level tasks were barely enough, and the B-level tasks were not something they could participate in.

Participating in difficult tasks that do not match their own strength because of insufficient strength, the result is obvious.

It's just that Naruto obviously didn't want to understand it, he was just rushing forward with brute force, lacking an overall view and a plan for his life. The only thing worthy of praise is that it is easy to affect the tenacious will of others.

Kakashi's words also aroused Sasuke's interest.

Indeed, although it is not meaningless to do D-level tasks, but now he hopes to get Kakashi's personal teaching rather than tasks.

Unlike Naruto and Sakura, he knows Kakashi's true heritage, and as long as the other party shows a little hand, it is enough for Genin to benefit a lot.

"Then Kakashi-sensei, what kind of training are we going to do next? Is it still like the previous guidance battle?"

Sakura asked curiously.

Kakashi waved his hand and replied, "No, it's just to test your cooperation ability. As long as you reach a passing score, you will be considered to pass the test. That is to say, no matter how bad your strength is at that time, as long as you know how to work as a team , that will also count as you passing the test. The training for you this time is to improve your personal strength, but to better serve the collective. Do you understand this truth, Sakura?"

Sakura nodded understandingly.

Only Naruto is still confused, but as long as he can understand the next training and make him stronger, it is enough to remember this.

"Then let's get started, Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto is eager to try.

Kakashi nodded, then led the way in front, and led the three to a relatively secluded forest.

"This is the next training session."

Kakashi pointed at the tree, turned around and said to the three of Naruto.

"Tree? How to train this?"

Naruto looked confused.

"It's tree climbing training."

Sasuke looked like he understood something.

"Climbing a tree? Can climbing a tree be considered training?"

Naruto frowned, doubting this.

"Of course it's not just climbing trees in general, but climbing trees without hands."

Seeing Naruto's doubts, Kakashi briefly explained, and then under the surprised eyes of Naruto and Sakura, he walked to the bottom of the tree step by step, and then walked up the trunk of the tree.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi turned around and said to Naruto and Sakura condescendingly: "This is your next training content, gather chakra on the bottom of your feet, and then use your feet to climb trees. Don't underestimate this, This is a very important foundation. How to accurately control the chakra in one's body is a required course for advanced ninjas."

"that……"

Naruto raised his hand.

"what's up?"

Kakashi walked down the tree along the original path and looked at Naruto.

"What is chakra?"

"..."

Naruto's question surprised the three of Kakashi.

In exchange, Kakashi was eerily silent.

"How...how did you learn ninjutsu?"

I don't know Chakra, but I can learn to use ninjutsu. This question really stumped Kakashi.

A little doubt, whether Naruto is the son of that person.

The gap between father and son is too big.

What is chakra, this kind of question, it is impossible for any student who has been to the ninja school to not know.

However, Naruto has to ask this question, which shows that his basic knowledge is very shallow.

"Forget it, Kakashi-sensei, before Naruto, he didn't even know anything about Anbu, and it wasn't a big deal that he didn't know the basic theory of Chakra."

Sakura's explanation barely persuaded everyone.

Afterwards, Kakashi had to briefly tell Naruto what chakra is. That is the foundation of ninjutsu. Whether or not he can master chakra is an important ability that distinguishes ninjas from ordinary people.

But even with this explanation, looking at Naruto's face still puzzled, Kakashi sighed, the child was completely helpless.

The ninja who is the first in unexpectedness is not just a simple written evaluation.

It's the real surprise first.

"Sasuke has already completed this training ahead of time, as well as the water treading training that will be carried out later. However, compared to treading water, the training of climbing trees is relatively simple, and you two can start. The necessary tricks, I have already written them here. The scroll is on. Sakura, look at each other with Naruto."

Kakashi put the scroll in Sakura's hand.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura solemnly took the scroll that Kakashi handed over.

Unlike Naruto, she is very aware of how important the ability to precisely control chakra is for ninjas.

It is actually similar to the medical ninjutsu she practiced.

The difference is that the Chakra control ability of medical ninjutsu is mainly displayed on one hand.

Climbing trees is to exercise the chakra cohesion of the feet.

How much chakra to use and how hard to step on the tree can successfully complete the tree climbing training, these are all very particular things.

Once the ninja can precisely control his chakra, it means that the mastery of chakra is further. When releasing ninjutsu in the future, the consumption of chakra can be reduced as much as possible, and the original power of ninjutsu can be exerted.

In a protracted war, this ability will be infinitely improved.

Of course, quick battles have always been a must-have for ninjas. But this world will always encounter all kinds of battles, saving the consumption of chakra is to prevent problems before they happen.

It is for this reason that Sakura attaches great importance to the help that the training of climbing trees brings to her.

"Sasuke, come with me."

"it is good."

Ignoring Naruto and Sakura, Sasuke left behind Kakashi and went to another quiet place for another training.

Whether it is climbing trees or treading water, they are skills that must be learned in the lower ninja stage, but these Sasukes have already mastered them, so his role in staying here is dispensable.

Watching Sasuke leave with Kakashi, Naruto rubbed his hands together, hehe said with a smile: "Now both of them are gone, only me and Sakura are left, it's almost like a date..."

"..."

Sakura squinted at Naruto, how narcissistic this guy is to say such a thing.

For the unrealistic fantasy in Naruto's mind, Sakura did not reprimand, but said: "Don't waste time here, Naruto, Sasuke-kun has already completed the training ahead of time, you don't want to be behind the other side, let's drag your feet in the team. ."

When it comes to Sasuke, Naruto's face really changed.

"You're right, the only thing I don't want to be compared with is that guy. However, things like climbing trees are too easy and don't require any tricks at all. Look at me."

Naruto's expression is very confident, his hands are printed, and he simply gathers a part of the chakra on the soles of his feet according to what Kakashi just said.

"and many more--"

As soon as Sakura's voice sounded, Naruto rushed out and ran to the tree Kakashi used to demonstrate the tree climbing.

Snapped!

The shoe directly smashed the bark, and Naruto took two steps up, then slammed his head down hard.

Sakura closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look directly at her, holding her head and rolling on the ground in pain.

She came to Naruto and said, "I tell you, there are too many chakras gathered on the soles of your feet. When you use ninjutsu, you must have wasted a lot of chakras."

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but notice a fact.

That is the technique of shadow clones, which is a high-level ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra, but Naruto can release a dozen or twenty shadow clones on the basis of wasting a lot of chakra, without panting, instead Appears to be at ease.

In every D-level mission, when she and Sasuke were exhausted, each other still had the energy to jump around.

Chakra is the energy that is directly related to the human spirit and body.

The stronger the chakra, the more outstanding a person's mental and physical abilities are.

Is Naruto a very powerful type of chakra? Sakura had to accept this ironclad fact.

Judging from his usual performance, this is the only reason why Naruto is always so energetic.

"Is there a waste? I don't feel it at all."

Even Naruto, who didn't even understand what Chakra was, Sakura felt that talking to him about this was just playing the piano to a cow.

Thinking of this, Sakura didn't care about Naruto, and started to condense chakra on the soles of her feet according to the method on the scroll, and practiced tree climbing.

...

"Naruto, who is he?"

Arriving in a relatively empty forest, before Kakashi spoke, he saw Sasuke, who had his back to him, stopped in front of him, and suddenly asked this question.

"Oh, why do you ask that?"

Kakashi asked with the same tone, as if he was a little surprised that Sasuke asked this question.

"You can fool Sakura, but you can't fool me, Naruto...he's a little abnormal."

Sasuke turned around, his eyes were deep, hoping that Kakashi could give him a convincing answer.

With the contacts these days, the more he got to know Naruto, the more he felt that Naruto's existence was a bit too abnormal.

That is far more than his peers, and it can even be said to be an unusually huge chakra. In his daily contact, Sasuke has already discovered some doubts.

Although these doubts cannot be used as iron evidence to corroborate, but there are too many doubts, it is an unreasonable behavior.

More importantly, Naruto, who possesses such outstanding talent, failed the graduation exam and succeeded in making up the exam by an unknown method.

Sasuke had never heard of the so-called make-up exam system in the ninja school.

If there is, it is impossible for Iruka, as the head teacher, not to explain, and give the failed students another chance to assess.

However, Ninja School has no make-up system at all.

If you fail the exam, you can only wait for the next year to retest.

But Naruto broke this routine.

Thinking of Naruto's idiot's ninja common sense, it's like the wild grass growing wildly on the roadside, and he has not received any substantive teaching.

Of course, this also has to do with Naruto's own character.

However, Naruto has excellent potential, and he can see it even as a stubborn person. He doesn't believe that the top of the school, and even the upper-level people of the entire village, such as Kakashi, will not see it.

However, no one taught Naruto and allowed him to grow savagely.

If it was him, he would never allow students with such an excellent foundation to be free and unrestrained in the school, instead of secretly providing elite guidance.

Naruto has that potential.

Excellent chakra foundation, even surpassed him as a ninja of the Uchiha clan.

Breaking the rule that Ninja School cannot make up exams.

He was let loose by the upper echelons of the village and grew savagely.

All of this, as if there were a pair of big hands that couldn't see clearly, operating behind the scenes.

This is something Sasuke can't understand.

It was obvious that Naruto could be trained into a better ninja, but the village gave up such an opportunity.

Afterwards, Naruto succeeded in making up the exam, and he arranged for elites like Kakashi to start paying attention.

Sasuke had to wonder what happened to Naruto before and after the make-up exam, which made some people change their previous strategies and focus on Naruto's growth.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. It's better not to delve into it."

Kakashi said casually.

"That is, you don't deny some of my guesses, do you?"

Sasuke had a funny smile on his face.

"Too smart kid is really annoying. In short, it's enough to rot in the stomach. Naruto, like you, has some special identities, you just need to know this."

Kakashi touched his head and replied.

identity!

Sasuke's eyes flashed.

But then came more doubts.

Sasuke knew very well what his identity in Konoha was.

The descendant of the Uchiha clan is also the last pure blood of Uchiha.

Even if the traitor Itachi survives, the other party has been expelled from Konoha and is no longer a Konoha ninja, nor a ninja of the Uchiha clan.

It is because of this that he receives a lot of preferential treatment from the village.

A few years ago, Kakashi, the elite Jōnin, was arranged by the third Hokage for one-on-one individual counseling.

This is a good thing that countless students can't ask for.

This is all thanks to the excellent blood of the Uchiha family.

As an ordinary student, it is absolutely impossible to get such kind treatment from the top of the village.

And Kakashi now says that Naruto's identity is also very special, perhaps no less than himself.

Could it be said that it is also the last descendant of some family?

Or another reason?

This kind of identity can only be deduced from the previous generation.

"Could it have something to do with Naruto's parents?"

Unlike an orphan like him who lost his parents in childhood, Naruto seems to have lost his parents since birth.

Sasuke still knew this.

"Who knows. Well, don't ask these things. Knowing these things has nothing to do with you."

"How could it be okay, that idiot is my teammate now, isn't it?"

Sasuke said so.

"This kind of aggressive method is useless for me. Next, I will test your cultivation progress of the change in the nature of the thunder attribute chakra. After another month's D-level task, I will ask Hokage-sama to increase the task level. I hope you At that time, I can learn a little bit about Chidori.”

"I thought it was Rachel."

"Rachel is my exclusive ninjutsu. Although this technique is also recorded on the seal scroll, I am the only one who can learn this technique at present. This is a profound meaning that goes beyond the high-level ninjutsu, and it is not so easy to be learned. learned skills.”

Moreover, depending on the individual's ability to understand the technique, in fact, after Chidori evolves to the end, it may not necessarily form a technique like Rachel.

Using Chidori, a high-level nature-changing ninjutsu, and deriving its own secret ninjutsu on this basis is the path that powerful ninjas should explore.

Blindly imitating will only limit the upper limit of the ninja itself.

Chidori is the basis of the change in the nature of the thunder-attribute chakra, and the sublimated product is essentially an embryo. How to make good use of this ninjutsu embryo and create one's own S-level esoteric lightning ninjutsu depends on the direction of personal comprehension.

You can learn from his Rachel, but you can't copy it completely. Otherwise, Sasuke will live in Kakashi's shadow forever.

This is what Kakashi wants to tell Sasuke.

Although, this is still too early for Sasuke.

But Kakashi believes that with Sasuke's comprehension ability, he can understand this truth.

"I know."

Sasuke took a deep breath and looked into Kakashi's eyes, where the dazzling lightning flashed. He began to concentrate the chakra in his body, gather the electric light in the palm of his right hand, and polish and compress the electric light to become sharper.

"Lu Jiu, you're back."

Ri Zhan, who was working, saw Lu Jiu, who had not seen him in a while, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu's expression was a little tired, but from the ease in his eyes, it seemed that the result of this trip was not too bad.

He has been running around for the joint Chunin exam, and has not returned to Konoha Village for nearly half a month.

"Then, what are the specific results of the joint Chunin exam that was negotiated with the ninja representatives from various countries?"

Hiruzen asked with concern.

Lu Jiu pondered for a while, and immediately replied: "It's going well. In the case of uniting with other countries' Ninja villages, the country of ghosts will retreat. In this joint Chunin exam, the rest of the big country Ninja villages said that they will participate one after another, and the small countries will take part. , Villages such as Yuyin Village, Caoyin Village, Yinyin Village, Tangyin Village, etc. also expressed their willingness to participate in this joint Chunin exam."

Ri Zhan nodded and continued to ask, "Is the exam room set?"

"Yes, according to the results of the multi-party representatives' meeting, the location of the examination room has been determined. There are three rounds of examinations in total. The first round of examinations will be held in Konoha."

"What about the second round of exams?"

"In the Land of Wind, Shayin Village is in charge."

The third round is in the land of ghosts.

Three rounds of exams, three countries, of which the country of ghosts, is the focus of Konoha's most attention.

At the same time, it is also a good thing to let ninjas in your own village meet ninjas from different countries and broaden their horizons.

Otherwise, just confining your eyes to your own village will be detrimental to your own growth.

"Isn't the country of ghosts blocking this?"

Ri Zhan paused and asked.

"No~www.readwn.com~ After all, the most important part of the joint Chunin exam is the third round of the exam. As long as this is mastered, the country of ghosts has no special rights to hold the first and second rounds of exams. Take it seriously."

Kakashi said.

"Then let's do it like this. Has the specific content of the test been formulated?"

"No, I'm only here to give notice. Because the three rounds of exams involve the army of the country of ghosts, Shayin, and our Konoha, so the content of the exam is also decided by the three of us. The country and the sandyin side will send relevant personnel to discuss in detail, and determine the specific process of the three rounds of examinations."

After hearing this, Rijian nodded.

"Then I will continue to trouble you. You have been exhausted these days. Now go back and rest."

"Yes. Then I'll say goodbye, Hokage-sama."

Without rejecting Hiizhan's proposal, Lu Jiuya really felt that his energy was low, bowed slightly to Hizan, and turned to leave.
