I sell sweets in Konoha

"I won't even make any sense to you."

"It's just in front of you. Whatever happens, it happens."

"But if you really want to change, you have to work hard!"

"If you really want to be a Hokage who brings hope to others, then you must start from now on to change other people's opinions of you."

"This process will be difficult. Others will not accept your offer and may even give you a blank stare and embarrassment."

"But as long as you dare to do it, someone will always accept it!"

Junko looked back at Naruto and said, "A single spark will eventually start a prairie fire! When you sow fire, you will eventually reap the enthusiasm you want."

"I..." Naruto didn't know what to say, he lowered his head in shame.

"Remember Naruto." Junko said encouragingly: "Don't look at yourself the way others look at you. What kind of person do you want to be? Only you know the final right to choose. What kind of person you are. Only you know it."

“If you want to live, you must live how you want to live, not how others want to see you!”

"Yeah." Naruto nodded vigorously.

"Oh, right." Junko thought for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about something recently. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to tell you about it."

"Actually, I have met your parents, and generally speaking, I know them quite well."

"Really?!" Naruto suddenly raised his head. He looked at Junko longingly, hoping to hear news about his parents from her.

"Yes." Junko smiled but said seriously: "But I won't tell you now."

"Because your performance today failed them! So I won't tell you."

"But! I want you to remember!"

"Remember! Naruto, you must always remember that you are the son of a hero!"

"Naruto, I believe in you. A hero's child will eventually live up to his name as a hero!"

"I..." Naruto looked disappointed and didn't seem to say anything.But he also said a lot, but there were some things he still couldn't understand.Why does my sister say that she is the son of a hero, and why is she unwilling to say so much.Why do most people look at him like that even though he is the son of a hero?

Why is he the son of a hero, but he is regarded as a fox demon and is despised by others.

A long list of whys and negative things have gradually changed in these three years, which can be said to be long or short.

Without Sister Junko by his side, he seemed to have gradually forgotten his original promise to become a Hokage who brought hope to everyone. '

Without Sister Junko by his side, it seemed that he was gradually heading towards a less correct path.

Looking back on the past three years, it seems that if there were no teachers and those friends who recognized him, he would not be with him and pull him.He was falling down a path with an unknown future.

Even if the villagers are at fault, today's situation is one of the consequences of self-indulgence time and time again.

Three years of self-indulgence, looking back, it is my fault, self-blame and low self-esteem.

Looking forward, there is still a person waiting for him on the road that may be full of thorns, taking him through this thorny road.

Don't care, don't care, don't pay attention to past mistakes.

Wait for him ahead.

Maybe it's not just my sister who is on this road, but there are other people standing there, watching him, supporting and guiding him on this road.

No more confusion, no more self-indulgence.

"I understand." Naruto pushed the goggles on his forehead and said, "I am the son of a hero."

"I will finally live up to my reputation as a hero! One day I will be able to hear those things openly..."

"Those things about my parents!"

Chapter 1: The Chunin Examination is About to Begin

"Uh-huh..." Iruka looked at Naruto who seemed to be trying to get better and was not used to it and said, "Um...Naruto..."

"Do you want to go to the infirmary and take a rest today?"

"Eh?!" Naruto scratched his head and said in shock, "Why do you ask, teacher? I'm in very good condition today."

"Oh...it's nothing...um..." Iruka coughed, and there seemed to be a slight problem with his words.Although Naruto suddenly became very angry and began to take classes and study seriously, it was a little bit unaccustomed to him.

But saying this is really a bit shocking.

"It's nothing." Iruka was very reluctant, but soon he smiled appreciatively and said: "This is a good state, keep it up."

"Then there is something I want to inform you about next."

When Iruka said this, all the students immediately pricked up their ears.There must be something wrong with the notice. Most of the students are still aware of the relatively clear things recently.

Just waiting for the official notification from the teacher.

"I believe most students already know." Iruka said: "The school will be on vacation recently, and the classroom will be occupied as the examination room for the first test of the Chunin Examination."

"Eh?! Are you actually going to have a day off? Chunin exams?"

The most surprised person was Naruto, who looked like he couldn't believe it.He was just preparing to make progress, why did he encounter the Chuunin Exam?

and...

"What is the Chunin Exam?" Naruto asked confused.

"Isn't your sister back?" Shikamaru looked at Naruto in surprise and said, "What? Don't you even know this?"

"What?" Naruto said still confused, "What does this have to do with my sister?"

"It's the Chunin exam." Sasuke couldn't stand Naruto's stupid look and said, "You idiot! Your sister and my brother are now in the same team, taking the Chunin exam together."

"Oh..." Naruto said as if he had just understood something: "Then... what is the Chunin Exam?"

"Hey..." This time it was Sasuke and Shikamaru's turn to sigh together.

I have to say that Naruto is sometimes cute, like a guy from an alien planet.He actually doesn't even know about the Chuunin Exam... This guy is really a student of the ninja school in the same village as him.

"The Chunin Exam." Iruka explained: "This is the only way for Genin to advance to become Chunin. Only after passing the Chunin Exam can you be recognized as a Chunin."

"Generally speaking, there are three Chuunin exams, a written test, a survival drill and a battle."

"The test that will be available to watch then is the last confrontation match."

"Oh?! Really!" Naruto said with great anticipation: "So we can see Junko-san's competition?"

"Don't interrupt the teacher." Iruka was obviously a little angry. Naruto interrupted him two or three times on one thing. Before he finished speaking for a long time, Iruka was obviously a little unhappy and said, "Of course Yes, the competition is open to the public."

"The daimyo of the five major countries and the shadows of the five hidden villages will all gather here."

"There will be many people from other villages and foreign countries coming during this period."

"I hope everyone will stop being naughty at this time!"

Don't be naughty at this time, because then security will be a top priority!Originally, the Chunin Examination was conducted by each village, and Konoha would at most bring the Sand Ninja Village along for the ride.

And this time, it suddenly became a joint event held by the five major ninja villages. This was something that Konoha was caught off guard.

The advantage is of course that Konoha can use this matter to demonstrate the strength of the village and the overall strength of Konoha's new generation.It is conducive to ensuring a peaceful environment around Konoha and the Country of Fire in the future. It can ensure to a certain extent that even if there is a war, it will not burn Konoha and the Country of Fire.

Peace is extremely important to the Fire Nation and Konoha, which are in the stage of economic recovery.

Another advantage is that you can take the opportunity of this Chunin Exam to show the strength of the successor of Hokage to the outside world.

The disadvantage is that other ninja villages may use this matter to spy on Konoha's intelligence and organize special forces to assassinate the future fifth generation Hokage during the Chunin Exam. At the same time, the future fifth generation Hokage's strength...

"She is really a worrying girl." Danzo was lying on the rocking chair, rocking and rocking. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the only moving hand holding a purple clay pot. He took a sip when he was fine. .There is also a small plate of cookies, candies and crispy rice beside him.This biscuit is Junko’s latest snack.

Very good, really good, crispy.

Salty and sweet, with the fragrance and mellowness of sesame, this snack made from flour, the starch converted by saliva brings sweetness mixed with a little bit of saltiness.

No irritation, no conflict, just as inseparable as milk and water.

Not soft, very crispy, with a slightly sandy feel.Taking a bite and hearing the chewing sound of bone conduction seems to be a wonderful enjoyment.

Put down all guard and just enjoy the leisure in front of you.

After eating this wonderful snack again, Danzo felt like he was alive.

Live truly!

Life is not only the darkness and struggle in front of you, but also peace and tranquility.The sweet and salty biscuits seem to bring the most ordinary taste from the world.

The five flavors intertwined describe the differences in life, and the chewing and clicking sounds seemed to be the noise among neighbors.

That ordinary, simplest life is nothing better than this.

Relatives, friends, and acquaintances walk on a road where we meet each other without intertwining, just like the different tastes of these biscuits, whether they are sweet, salty, or fragrant.

Gather at the same point, walk together, call and treat each other as friends and relatives.

But at the same point, we are walking on different life trajectories, either up, down, or back to the starting point.

Everything finally comes together at the starting point.

It's like changing, but it's also like not changing.

A sip of weak tea washed away the last bit of dryness in my mouth, which was nice.

I heard Junko say that biscuits might be better paired with drinks such as milk or juice, but Danzo, an older person, still prefers this tea.

"Ah..." Danzo sighed.

This girl's skills in making snacks have improved a lot. I don't know how much she has grown after not seeing her strength in three years.My skills in making dim sum have obviously improved!

Not only is the craftsmanship excellent, but it also seems to give this snack a slightly different spiritual sense to every diner who tastes it.

"Oh, you look quite relaxed."

Orochimaru appeared in Gen's base again. He crossed his arms across his chest and didn't look so happy. He said with a bit of disappointment: "Lord Danzo, you are not the same after all these years."

"Are you planning your retirement?"

"Hmph, what the old man is thinking is none of your concern." Danzo snorted coldly and said, "You want to accuse the old man on this matter? You are not qualified!"

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"You really asked knowingly." Orochimaru licked his tongue and said, "How have you considered that matter?"

"What do you think..." Danzo was about to say something.

"You don't have to worry too much." Orochimaru seemed to see through what Danzo wanted to say, and he added promptly and even thoughtfully: "I will not take the child away forcibly, I will test her strength and even protect her secretly. If she is willing to come with me, it is her own choice and her own will."

"If I don't want to, then there's nothing I can do and I have to give up, right?"

"And this matter has nothing to do with you from beginning to end. Whatever she chooses in the end is her own will, and I am just a tester and a protector."

"The rest is left to her own will."

What Orochimaru said seemed very reasonable, but Danzo didn't think so.

Over the years, he still had some understanding of Orochimaru.

"Hmph...what do you want me to do?" Danzo finally admitted Orochimaru's idea.

"It's enough to turn a blind eye." Orochimaru said greedily.

"Okay, go ahead! But I don't think your plan will succeed. That girl is not as immature as you think, but you have to do what you say! If something goes wrong with that girl..."

"Orochimaru, you know the consequences!"

Danzo agreed, perhaps out of a little bit of reluctance, or perhaps out of concern.But he quickly asked: "What are you still doing here?"

"Yes." Orochimaru asked with sweet lips: "Can you share some of the snacks on Danzo-sama's table with me?"

I don't know whether Danzo got the snack or not, but Naruto wasn't feeling very well right now.

It seems to be affected by the upcoming Chunin Exams. Although the Chunin Exams have not officially started yet, there are already more ninjas from other villages and business travelers from other villages on the streets of Konoha.

All of this seems to have some kind of grand scene of the coming of all nations and the prosperity of the economy.

And under the beautiful scenery of this prosperous age, there are also some unsatisfactory things.

"I told you all!" A strong man looked at Naruto with an evil expression and said with disgust, "I won't sell this mask to you."

"Get out of here! Don't stop me from doing business! Fox demon!"

Fox demon!Fox demon...

The uncle who bought the mask seemed to not care about Naruto's feelings at all, roaring in disgust, and even shouted this word in front of Naruto without caring about some prohibitions that the third generation had issued.

Fox demon...
