Just as Kakashi sighed and headed towards their usual spot...
Not long after they left, an ANBU ninja appeared out of nowhere beside Kakashi and respectfully said, "Kakashi, Jonin, the Third Hokage requests your presence."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback, then immediately nodded.
He immediately changed direction and decisively used the Instantaneous Movement Technique.
Soon Kakashi entered the Hokage's office and met the Third Hokage, who was dealing with some matters.
"How was your day?"
Upon seeing Kakashi's arrival, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and asked with a smile, "How are things going with the children?"
"Hmm, it's a bit difficult."
Kakashi shook his head slightly and said, "Naruto and Sasuke are fine in the team, but Sakura Haruno has no advantage over them at all."
"Yeah, but isn't that what comrades are like?"
The Third Hokage smiled and said, "The three of them are just right."
"Um."
Upon hearing the Third Hokage mention his comrades, Kakashi nodded slightly and said, "Naruto was the first to notice, followed by Sasuke. As for Sakura, she couldn't notice at all. Naruto is the only one who truly qualified."
"But Naruto is such a simpleton, he's even getting stuck in my survival drills."
At this point, Kakashi felt a slight headache.
"Was Naruto the first to notice?"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up slightly: "This is a good thing."
"In short, the next task is to get them used to each other first. You need to let me know when it's time."
At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said, "I need to arrange a C-rank mission."
"A C-level mission?"
Hearing this, Kakashi frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it too fast?"
Keep in mind that a C-level mission is a mission that takes you outside the village.
How long has it been?
That's way too rushed.
"Not fast."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly and said, "Naruto now possesses the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and his strength is incomparable to that of ordinary ninjas, so he cannot be treated with common sense."
"Anyway, I'll have to trouble you again from now on."
"I see."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Kakashi paused for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Then I'll take my leave. I have an appointment with Guy."
"Go."
With Hiruzen Sarutobi nodding, Kakashi immediately left.
"Oh, right."
Watching Kakashi leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly called out to him, took a drag of his cigarette, and said, "Do you know what the summoning beast that Naruto is with is? What are its abilities? My Enma told me it has never seen it before. Ask your summoning beast, and also ask Naruto where that summoning beast came from."
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's brow furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.
The Third Hokage actually knew about the little fire dragon next to Naruto Uzumaki.
Did you take a special look from a distance this afternoon?
Kakashi glanced discreetly at the crystal ball on the Third Hokage's desk, then nodded slightly and said, "I haven't seen that summoning beast either. I'll find an opportunity to ask Naruto about it; he and that summoning beast have a very good relationship."
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage nodded.
Kakashi then left completely.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking a cigarette, staring at the small fire dragon drawn on the white paper in front of him, lost in thought.
The reason this summoning beast attracted it was because of the flame on its tail.
"Click!"
At that moment, the office door was pushed open.
Before the Third Hokage could even look up, Danzo was shoved to his feet and coldly said, "Hiruzen, an unfamiliar summoning beast has appeared beside the Jinchuriki. This summoning beast must be taken away for investigation."
Even though Danzo couldn't stand up and lay weakly on the recliner, his voice remained cold and his eyes were like those of a venomous snake.
If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi's ANBU stopping him, he would have succeeded.
He has already captured that strange and unusual thing.
"It's just a summoning beast, Danzo, you're making a mountain out of a molehill."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "That child finally has a favorite summoning beast, so we definitely can't take it away, but we still need to investigate."
"I have already ordered a special team to investigate."
"no."
Danzo said coldly, "I must take this summoning beast with me. The appearance of an unknown summoning beast in the village is a potential risk, and we must nip this risk in the bud."
If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi's ANBU stopping his subordinates...
His roots have already brought back the little fire dragon that was next to the Jinchūriki.
"This summoning beast poses no threat, Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about your condition. How are you feeling right now? You should go to the hospital so everyone can give you a proper check-up, instead of leaving the hospital."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo Shimura's face involuntarily darkened.
Hiruzen Sarutobi really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
"It must have been the work of the Hyuga clan."
Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, who else in the entire village could discover the environment of Root? The Hyuga clan must hand over ten members with Byakugan to join Root."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped.
Danzo, he really dares to think that way.
Not all members of the Hyuga clan will awaken the Byakugan.
Ten more.
"This is out of the question."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "The Chunin Exams are already being prepared. Danzo, you absolutely cannot act recklessly. The village cannot afford any more turmoil right now."
"Then after the Chunin Exams."
Danzo said firmly and in a deep voice, "I did it for the village!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."
"We'll see when the time comes."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and sighed softly, "Danzo, you should recover your health first, and it's not suitable for you to travel right now."
"Send Danzo advisor back first."
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, ANBU ninjas appeared and took over from the Root ninjas, pushing Danzo out of the office.
The thought of Danzo being completely powerless filled him with dread.
If it were him, wouldn't he have done the same?
Who was behind this?
They actually came up with something so vicious.
Even A-rank medical ninjutsu couldn't analyze it, which gave him a real headache.
You know, the Chunin Exams are just around the corner.
The event is being held in Konoha, so we can't afford any trouble.
Danzo is the only one who can maintain his position in the shadows, but given his current state, it's uncertain when his body will recover.
Just thinking about it gives him a headache.
When the Third Hokage was having a headache.
Kakashi, who had already left, also headed towards the direction of Might Guy's tavern.
However, as they were almost there, they suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, Hinata Hyuga and Tenten were walking and talking.
Kakashi instantly recognized Tenten, one of Might Guy's students.
Kakashi glanced at it, then looked away and continued on his way to his destination.
They soon arrived at the tavern.
"Yo, Kakashi, you've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing Kakashi arrive, Might Guy excitedly rubbed his hands together and stood up, saying, "Let's have a match!"
"Let's wait until tonight."
Kakashi said in a somber tone, "I'm not in the mood right now."
"Oh?"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Might Guy was quite surprised: "What happened? Is it your team of students that's giving you a headache?"
"yes."
Kakashi shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, I saw your student on my way here."
"Everyday, right?"
Might Guy flashed a bright smile: "You saw Red Jonin today too. You're not early; Red Jonin just left."
"How are your students doing? Want to have a competition with mine?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"They haven't passed my assessment yet, so they're not my students."
Kakashi said expressionlessly, "So your plan failed."
"Forehead."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Might Guy's lips twitched slightly: "You're too strict with your future students. That's not good."
If I remember correctly.
To date, it seems that no one has passed Kakashi's test.
Thinking of this, Might Guy shook his head: "In that case, we can't compete with your team tomorrow. Oh well, let's drink, let's drink."
"Come."
With that, Might Guy handed a bottle of wine to Kakashi.
at the same time.
the other side.
Tenten, who left the jar shop with Hinata Hyuga, went home after dropping Hinata off at her family's place.
I just got back and saw my parents with big smiles on their faces.
"My dear daughter, why are you back so early?"
Upon seeing Tiantian return, Tiantian's mother exclaimed in surprise, "It's only been a short while since it got dark! Didn't you have dinner at Lin Mo's?"
"I've already eaten."
Tian Tian chuckled, "I still cooked at Mr. Lin Mo's place."
"I was originally training with Hinata, but the training ground there doesn't have lights at night, so it's not suitable for training."
"After talking with Lin Mo, I came back with Hinata."
"Mom and Dad, you're so happy, did you strike it rich today?"
As he spoke, Tian Tian squinted his eyes.
"good."
Old Man Tian chuckled and said, "We sold almost all of the ninja tools today. This system is really good. The only downside is that there are a lot of wasted containers. I'm wondering if I should replace them, but I can't think of anything."
"Oh, right."
Suddenly remembering something, Tian Tian's father quickly said, "Your teacher came by today and said you need to meet at the usual place at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Teacher Kai is back?!"
Hearing his father's words, Tian Tian was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded: "I understand."
I should get some rest early tonight.
After all, if Teacher Kai said six o'clock, then they have to be there by five o'clock.
Thinking of this, Tian Tian quickly went inside to wash up and go to bed.
She should take this opportunity to get a good night's sleep; she's exhausted today.
"In that case, it seems I won't have time to go see Lin Mo tomorrow."
Just as Tian Tian was going inside to wash up, she suddenly realized that if she had to go to the assembly point tomorrow, she probably wouldn't have any time for the whole day.
I was immediately depressed.
Compared to the monotonous training, she now quite enjoys training with Lin Mo and Hinata.
She also knew that Hinata would only be there for a few days.
After I open the jar in a few days, I won't have time.
"Ugh."
Tenten felt envious thinking about how Hinata would be able to open the jar in two days.
She opened the can a day later than Hinata.
So when Hinata tries to open the jar, she won't be able to. Just thinking about it makes me sad.
When I think like this every day.
In the jar shop.
Lin Mo stared speechlessly at the several shadow clones in front of him.
With his current chakra reserves, he could only create four shadow clones.
I've learned this technique, but it all depends on my chakra reserves.
These shadow clones are completely incapable of assisting me in my cultivation.
"I'm so short of chakra."
Thinking of the Sharingan and Wind Release ninjutsu he possessed, whether they were B-rank or C-rank, Lin Mo sighed inwardly.
It's important to understand that even though he has integrated most of the things that people have extracted from the jars so far, his chakra is still nowhere near that of a Jonin.
That's fucking ridiculous.
"Fortunately, five days have passed so far. Tomorrow will be the sixth day, and in seven or eight days, Hinata will be able to open the jar again. Then she will have her own special jar."
Thinking that it was already the fifth night, Lin Mo felt relaxed.
He'll get his own jar in two days at the latest.
When Hinata, Hiashi, and Hanabi open the jars, they can obtain items related to chakra, as well as their own exclusive jars.
"Go to sleep."
With that in mind, Lin Mo decisively chose to close the door and go to sleep.
Tomorrow morning I'll get up and refine my chakra to practice the incomplete Eight Gates Formation.
Silent all night.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the sky was still tinged with a faint blue-gray.
The streets of Konoha Village remained quiet, with only the occasional whistling of the wind brushing past one's ears.
Every day when I open my eyes, I feel refreshed and full of energy; last night's rest has filled me with vitality.
She sat up subconsciously, glanced at the faintly brightening sky outside the window, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, I went to bed early yesterday and woke up early today."
She was afraid of missing the time that Teacher Kai had agreed upon.
She quickly got up, put on her ninja gear with practiced ease, and neatly combed her signature double topknots.
Looking at herself in the mirror, looking refreshed, Tian Tian's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
I'm sure even Teacher Kai couldn't have imagined that her skills would improve so dramatically in just a few days.
After quickly packing up, Tian Tian shouldered her backpack full of ninja tools and hurried out of the house.
The morning air was still a little chilly, and the streets were deserted.
Only the sound of her light, quick footsteps echoed through the quiet village every day.
At this moment, Tian Tian was in a good mood, and her pace quickened unconsciously.
The "old place" that Teacher Kai mentioned is their team's usual training location.
The training ground was located on the edge of the village, surrounded by tall trees, making it an ideal location for physical training.
I walked briskly through several streets, gradually approaching the training ground.
Soon, the familiar training ground came into view.
On that open space, several familiar figures were already waiting for her arrival.
From afar, she spotted that tall, imposing figure—Matt Kai was standing in the center of the field, wearing his signature green bodysuit, arms crossed, looking serious but with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.
Neji and Rock Lee had already arrived early, standing beside Guy.
Neji stood there, leaning against a large tree, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly meditating or regulating his breathing;
Rock Lee, meanwhile, was doing warm-up exercises on the side, swinging his arms and moving his feet lightly, looking like he couldn't wait to start training.
"Good morning!"
As Tiantian ran closer, she greeted him with a bright smile.
Hearing Tian Tian's voice, Matt Kai turned his head slightly and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, Tian Tian. It's been a few days, but you haven't fallen behind in your training, and you haven't been late either. Very good."
As he spoke, Matt Kai gave Tian Tian a thumbs up: "Today we're going to have a special training session."
As soon as Might Guy finished speaking, Rock Lee immediately stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Tian Tian, and said excitedly, "Tian Tian, I'm ready! I'm going to break through my limits today!"
At this moment, Neji also opened his eyes. Although he still maintained that calm expression on his face, Tenten could feel Neji's greeting from his slight nod.
Matt Kai looked at the three students in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
He could feel the fighting spirit and determination in each of their hearts, which made him, as a teacher, extremely proud.
"Great, everyone's here, so let's begin our warm-up exercises!" Matt Kai said excitedly, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
Tenten, Neji, and Rock Lee all straightened their backs at the same time.
They knew that what followed was a rigorous training program, but it was precisely this training that made them stronger.
They were already used to Might Guy's training methods!
"start!"
At Might Guy's command, the three immediately began physical training.
Rock Lee was the first to rush out, his steps as swift as the wind, and he quickly began high-intensity punching and kicking training.
Every movement he made was full of explosive power and speed; his punches were like whistling winds, and his kicks were like thunder, as if the air itself was being torn apart by his power.
Seemingly due to excessive exertion, Lee Rock's face was soon covered in sweat, but he remained fully focused, not relaxing his every movement.
Meanwhile, Neji was practicing Gentle Fist on the side. His movements appeared gentle, but each punch and pressure point strike contained precision and power.
Neji even slightly opened his Byakugan, observing all the changes around him. His movements were light and elegant, like a smooth dance, but they concealed a deadly power.
As the training progressed, Neji's breathing became heavier, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripping onto the ground and splashing up tiny water droplets.
On the other side, Tian Tian also quickly got into the zone.
She chose basic physical training taught by Matt Ke, which focuses on strength and speed. Her punches and kicks were full of power.
However, unlike Rock Lee and Neji, Tenten's movements appeared more relaxed and natural, as if these training sessions were not very difficult for her.
Her breathing was steady, and there was no sign of fatigue on her face; instead, she had a calm and composed expression.
It's not surprising that it happens every day.
Because of the [Vertebrae and Muscle Strengthening Agent] prescribed by Lin Mo, her vertebrae and muscles will be greatly strengthened, enabling her to perfectly withstand the physical training developed for her by Matt Kai.
Might Guy, as their teacher, will develop corresponding ninjutsu based on her, Neji, and Rock Lee, and conduct different training for each of them.
These past few days, I've felt no pressure while training.
I used to sweat when I did this, but not anymore.
As Tian Tian was thinking this, Matt Kai's gaze also turned towards him.
He noticed that Rock Lee and Neji were exhausted from their long training sessions, their breathing had become rapid, and sweat was pouring down their foreheads and bodies like rain.
Even so, both of them felt the high intensity of the training and did not relax. They gritted their teeth and tried their best to persist in every movement.
But Tian Tian's state is completely different!
Despite undergoing the same training as the two, her movements remained light and powerful, without the slightest strain.
Her breathing remained steady as before, and her body showed no signs of fatigue, as if this high-intensity physical training was just a simple warm-up for her.
Teacher Kai's gaze lingered on Tian Tian, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
As Tiantian's teacher, he was very clear about the difficulty of this set of physical training techniques, especially the physical strain it placed on him.
Even Rock Lee and Neji, whom he personally trained, could not maintain such a relaxed state in such a short time.
However, Tian Tian seemed to do it effortlessly, which was clearly beyond his expectations.
This means that Tenten has surpassed Neji Hyuga in terms of taijutsu!
"Tian Tian's physical skills have actually reached this level?"
Teacher Kai pondered to himself, a hint of satisfaction and amazement flashing in his eyes.
He had long known that Tian Tian had exceptional talent in physical skills.
But I never expected that Tian Tian would improve so quickly without leading a team to do tasks or assisting with training.
Even in this training session, they performed so well.
