I sell sweets in Konoha

"Are you planning to die of lung cancer?"

"Hehehe~" Sandai laughed hoarsely. He smiled like this for a while and said, "I guess it is impossible for me to die of lung cancer."

"So, what's wrong with taking a few more puffs? I still need you, a stinky girl, to take care of me."

"..." Junko felt something indescribable in her heart.

"You..." Junko felt a little blocked in her heart.

"You know?"

"As people get older." Sandai said with a clear mind, "You can also know some things."

"Besides, I am now relieved and satisfied."

The third generation was very gentle and looked at Junko tenderly.He never thought about the bold guy who dared to sell snacks in front of Konoha School in violation of the ban.

He really became Hokage and really changed the village.

"You are even better than I imagined." Sandai praised sincerely: "I really didn't expect what happened now. I originally thought that I would retreat to the background."

"But you can do better than me." Sandai said as if he didn't care. "At first, I thought it would be good if you could be a good puppet."

The third generation really doesn't care about anything.

It was true that Danzo, Koharu and Mito Kaden were forced to have no choice but to come up with such a solution.

But Junko did indeed exceed his expectations.

"I know." Sandai said calmly: "You think I don't do many things very well. I am so indecisive that I don't look like a qualified leader."

"But...I can't help it."

No one gave him any clues. After experiencing the Nine-Tails, the village fell into underestimation.Reform, reform, everyone knows that only drastic reforms can allow the village to find a new way out.

But reform comes at a cost, whether big or small.

If it is small, there is no problem, but if it is big, once the reform goes seriously wrong, the result may be internal and external troubles, and Konoha will collapse.

The third generation really did not have the courage to face such serious consequences.

No one wants to bear such serious consequences.

"I know." Junko smiled and said, "I understand."

Junko knew that the third generation had various shortcomings, but because the third generation could hold her back, she dared to reform. In addition, Danzo also stood up and her reform went so smoothly.

Without the support of the Third Generation and Danzo, his own reforms would not have been so smooth sailing.

"Yes." Sandai looked at Junko with satisfaction. He paused for a moment and said, "Junko, you still have to be careful about Danzo."

"Yeah, I know." Junko nodded.

"Do you have anything else to tell me?"

The third generation squirmed, as if it was true, but in the end he didn't say anything.Maybe these words have no meaning anymore, Junko knows it.

Although she is very close to Danzo, she is not from Danzo's group after all. She should know what the boundaries are.

What degree.

"I...I..." Sandai hesitated for a long time and decided to say something else.

He seemed to be very embarrassed and said, "I...want to have some snacks."

"Oh~" Junko seemed to understand something and said, "I understand. Third generation, please feel free to go. From now on, I will bring snacks to your grave every year on your death anniversary."

"..." Sandai was speechless.

"I mean now." Sandai was speechless for a long time before saying, "I want to eat some."

"But..." Junko spread her hands and said, "I didn't bring any snacks."

"You want to eat this, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What snack would you like?"

Chapter 48 A bunch of dumplings

Three-color dumplings, this is the most common, oldest, and most common dessert in Konoha Village.

This dessert used to be quite popular in Konoha Village, a dessert that was loved by both high-level ninjas and common people.

Nowadays, these three-color dumplings are no longer as common as they used to be.Just because it's uncommon doesn't mean it will disappear. As a traditional dessert, this thing still occupies a place in Konoha's dessert market.

The new generation of children may have become accustomed to an era when snacks such as cola, chocolate, cakes, and various candies are abundant.

In their eyes, these three-color dumplings are the most inconspicuous snack.

But for the old people in Konoha, these three-color dumplings represent a kind of memory.A kind of best memory from the past when materials were not abundant.

Therefore, the three-color meatballs are a mark of the times for many of the older generation in Konoha, and those who are not particularly old.

It’s not delicious, but it’s also one of their feelings.

Sandai, who had already eaten a lot of various snacks, was holding a bunch of dumplings in his hand.

Eat slowly.

Slowly, carefully, taste the taste of this dumpling bit by bit.

The most ordinary way, without any innovation, this is the most ordinary taste of Konoha's past desserts.Lightly sweet, refreshing and soft.

It's blandly sweet, soft, and sticky. Compared to other dumplings in Konoha, Junko is really delicious.

This is probably Junko's characteristic and one of the reasons why she was able to attract his attention in the first place.

Can do the most ordinary things to the extreme.

"Ah..." Sandai said while eating dumplings, "Suddenly I remembered the past."

Thinking of the past, I remembered too many things.Memories from the past come flooding in, either good, regretful or not so happy.

This is the so-called life, which is composed of all kinds of ups and downs, with different flavors.

And after experiencing so much, he finally returned to normalcy.

Maybe it's like this dumpling, with different colors, but the final taste is still the same plain, refreshing and soft sweetness.

Sandai half-closed his eyes and enjoyed this sweet and plain taste.

After a short while like this, Sandai slowly said: "Junko, I know that you may not agree with some of my actions, but I still want to talk about this matter."

Sandai thought about it for a long time, and he always felt that this matter still had to be said.

"You're talking about bonds, right?" Junko looked at the seriousness of Sandai's words.

Bond, Junko knew what Sandai wanted to say.

Junko knew that the differences between her and the third generation were related to this bond to a certain extent.Junko herself thinks that the third generation has upgraded this 'bond' thing too high.

"I know the importance of bonds." Junko didn't want to completely deny the third generation, "From a normal point of view."

"Bonds are indeed important and are one of the most important ways to maintain relationships between people."

Junko recognized this thing.

"The relationship between people is complicated." Junko said: "Because other emotions can exist beyond blood relatives, the current human society can exist."

This is indeed true. The reason why humans are humans and the reason why humans can form a huge society is based on this.

Except for humans, very few creatures can maintain such a large non-blood social relationship.

According to scientific research, a person can remember and maintain at least about 150 interpersonal relationships.

But if you want to maintain a larger group, these ordinary human relationships are not enough.

"What we want to maintain is a society." Junko said seriously: "Sir, from the perspective of interpersonal relationships, friends of friends are not necessarily friends."

"The relatives of relatives are not necessarily relatives."

"This bond..." Junko shook her head and said, "It's too narrow-minded."

"So~ you should just eat snacks honestly."

"Either eat well now~"

"Or I'll put it on your grave in the future."

"Hmph~" Sandai couldn't help but shook his head and said hummingly: "Narrow-minded~ You girl is also very narrow-minded."

He knew that he couldn't convince Junko on this matter, but he suddenly thought of another question.

"Speaking of which, you still seem to be a genin, right?" Sandai suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"Yes." Junko didn't know why Sandai suddenly said this.

"I seem to be a genin." Junko scratched her head and said, "I rose directly from genin to hokage in one step. If I now come down from the position of hokage."

"Just from the perspective of being a ninja, I am a genin."

It seems that this is indeed the case. In the Chunin Examination, Junko was not successfully promoted to Jonin because of some people's obstruction.Later, the third generation planned to let Junko pass other internal ANBU assessments to be promoted to Jonin.

But because things developed so fast, Junko didn't take the initiative to officially upgrade to Jonin and directly became Hokage.

"Yeah." Sandai thought for a while and said, "The Chuunin Exams are about to begin."

"You go and take part."

"Tsunade will place you in a suitable ninja team."

Tsunade...

He was also confused and couldn't believe what he heard.

"What the hell?!" Tsunade put down the letter in her hand, opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at the Chuunin in front of her who was responsible for delivering the letter, and said, "Do you think that girl is still a Chuunin?!"

"Are you kidding me?"

To be honest, Tsunade really hasn't thought about this issue!Because Junko was Hokage, she never thought that Junko was actually a genin.

"Eh..." the Chuunin said embarrassedly, "She is still a temporarily recruited non-staff member..."

"That...this...Sandaime-sama said that if it is possible..."

"You can sort it out for her."

The chuunin was also quite speechless, he didn't know about this kind of thing.But this special thing is reality!This was one of the reasons why the Third Generation was unable to pass the internal assessment system of ANBU to promote Junko to Jonin.

"The Fifth Hokage..." the Chuunin said helplessly: "I haven't passed the Konoha School exam yet."

Tsunade sat down immediately. She pressed her forehead and said, "You...go ahead and bring me Junko's information."

"Speaking of which... I haven't looked at that girl's information carefully."

She really hadn't thought about these things so much.

The chunin went out quickly, and after a while he brought Junko's information over.Tsunade couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully for a long time.

"This girl..."

Tsunade couldn't laugh or cry and said: "She really gave me a big problem..."

Junko's problem is not just as simple as what this jounin said.When Junko first joined the team, she was not considered a ninja at all. She was a temporary non-staff member.

As a ninja, Tsunade knew that she was one of the ones who was dropped out of Konoha's ninja school.

but...

What Tsunade didn't expect was that Junko hadn't even graduated from ninja school!

right!That's the case.

Junko didn’t graduate!

After being expelled from school, he did not go back to school. After the war, he did not return to the ninja school but was directly thrust into the ninja team.So in fact, even if Junko passes the Chunin exam, she cannot be promoted to Chunin.

Because she didn't have a ninja number or ninja registration at all, so from beginning to end.

She is just a temporary worker with a Konoha forehead protector...

Then...

This temporary worker became Hokage...

"Ah..." Tsunade pressed her forehead and said dumbfounded: "If I had known that this girl was a temporary worker, I would have thrown her into Naruto's team."
