Maruhoshi Kosuke agreed.
This ten thousand year genin of Konoha Village didn't want to be promoted, but he couldn't refuse the request to protect Konoha. He also heard that the joint chuunin examination was very popular.
As an old man in Konoha, it is his duty to sacrifice and contribute to the future of the village. If Akihara Kagura forcibly gives an order, he has to obey it.
"Kagura-sama."
Xiang Ling looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise and asked curiously: "Why are you asking me to take the exam together with that old man?"
"Because he cooks delicious food!"
The reason Akihara Kagura gave was quite pure and honest: "When I took the Chunin Exam, there wasn't even anyone to help with cooking. Finding a teammate who can cook for you can help you pass the exam." Gotta get comfortable…”
"..."
Xiang Phosphorus slowly lowered his head.
"Kagura-sama!"
An ANBU appeared instantly, knelt on one knee beside Akihara Kagura, and whispered: "The Third Hokage, please Kagura-sama, rush to the Hokage Tower immediately!"
"I'll be there right away."
Akihara Kagura nodded and disappeared instantly.
"Xiang Phosphorus, what's wrong with you?"
A root ninja looked at the stunned red-haired girl in surprise.
"I'm fine."
Xiang Ling still stayed in the same place, looking at the ninja forehead protector that Akihara Kagura left on the desk of the mission meeting hall, and carefully helped him put it away: "It's just that, how can one not love Kagura-sama who takes care of his subordinates like this? What about him?"
Inside the Hokage Building.
A group of jounin stood in the office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at his desk with a pipe in his mouth, and seriously explained to the group of jounin what he wanted to say: "The people I summoned today are all the guiding jounin in the village. You guys should understand what I want to say. What happened..."
"Chunin selection exam?"
Hatake Kakashi has heard about it for a long time.
Sarutobi Asuma raised his head and remembered that when he went shopping with his girlfriend Yuhi Kurenai recently, he met people from other ninja villages: "I did meet people from other villages in the village..."
"Where's the time?"
Kurenai Yuhi asked nervously.
"I wanted to go earlier..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring, picked up a letter on the table, and said softly: "But there is news from Kirigakure Village that they may have to arrive a little two days later, so it will be July 3rd. On that day, the Joint Chuunin Selection Examination will begin..."
"Do you have anything to add?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akihara Kagura and the two Hokage advisors sitting on the other side.
"You still need to pay some attention during this period..."
After returning to bed, Koharu raised his objection and said softly: "After all, this is a chunin selection exam jointly held by three big countries and a group of small countries. There are many ninjas from other villages coming to Konoha. Be careful that there will be no disputes or conflicts. …”
Mito Monobu also put forward his own opinions: "Also, we should pay attention to avoid any rudeness during the reception. It would be bad if it caused any controversy..."
"Don't worry."
Akihara Kagura poured tea by herself, and even poured a cup for the two Hokage advisors in a friendly manner, speaking slowly: "If anyone dares to have any controversy in the village, after thirteen years, they You will pay attention when you take the Chuunin Exam again."
"Are the troublemakers banned from taking the Chunin Exams for thirteen years?"
After turning to bed, Koharu glanced at Akihara Kagura, frowned and said, "Is this punishment too severe for a ninja..."
"The sleeping consultant misunderstood me."
Akihara Kagura took a sip of tea and then said: "Thirteen years is the time for them to reincarnate and grow to twelve years old again..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Mito Menyan almost choked to death.
"..."
Everyone present looked strange.
Hatake Kakashi had the most contact with Akihara Kagura, and he had long been accustomed to this. He just rolled his eyes helplessly: "This guy..."
"Killing him directly will cause a bigger dispute!"
After going to bed, Koharu was very dissatisfied with Akihara Kagura's attitude and said in a deep voice: "It may even trigger a war. It's best to use gentler methods..."
"It's really a bit too extreme."
Mito Katoyan also nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but said: "No one will come to participate in the Chunin Selection Examination held by Konoha in the future. This will affect our relationship with our allies..."
"I will send ANBU to maintain order."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, he looked at the mentoring Jonin present: "Do you have any recommendations for Genin to take the exam? Formally, as long as there are Genin who have participated in more than eight missions, they can take the Chunin Selection Examination. Recommendations are based on your wishes, although a genin with twice the experience in performing missions may be the most suitable. It may be a little early for them now, but it also depends on your thoughts. Who can say it first?"
"I'll give you a head first!"
Akihara Kagura was very proud of her boss, and took the initiative to say: "I would like to recommend a suitable team, Yakushi Kabuto, Kosuke, and Maruhoshi Kosuke. They also have sufficient experience in performing tasks. Kosuke is just at the root." I have performed more than eight S-level missions, which is enough to cope with the Chunin Examination..."
"..."
The instructors present all changed their colors.
Because the statistics of Xianglin are indeed quite outstanding, even some jonins have not performed as many S-level tasks as Xianglin in their lifetime.
"Can genin also perform S-class missions?"
"It's normal for a ninja at his core to go on an S-level mission..."
"This is a little too scary..."
While the other instructors were still discussing, Asuma Sarutobi knew that Kakashi Hatake and Kagura Akihara were familiar with each other, so he took the initiative to ask: "Hey, Kakashi, that little guy named Kagura How is the strength?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi looked up at the sky and started thinking. He had never seen the battle of Kosovo, so he could only tell the truth seriously: "I don't know, but I'm very strong..."
After Hatake Kakashi finished speaking, he mentioned another person: "But that person named Maruhoshi Kosuke is very familiar. I heard it somewhere..."
"Does Fousuke also want to take the Chunin Exam?"
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, knew Maruboshi Kosuke and took the initiative to say: "If Kosuke wants to be promoted, there is no need for him to take the exam. Let him be directly promoted to a Jonin..."
"Jounin?"
The coaching jounin present all knew about Akihara Kagura's team level.
"He didn't want to be promoted."
Akihara Kagura waved her hand, not caring about her arrangement in the Chunin Exam: "Genin Maruboshi Kosuke is just a chef of a small team, helping to cook for the second exam. After all, I was once in the Chunin Exam I was hungry all day in the second game..."
"Is this so..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but chuckle, remembering the first time he came into contact with this little guy, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Kagura, you are really good to your subordinates..."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he looked at a group of mentoring Jonin: "Is there anyone else recommending their subordinates to participate in this Chunin Exam?"
"Class 7, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, the above three, in the name of Kakashi Hatake, recommend them to take the Chunin Exam!"
"Class 8, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino, the above three, in my name, Yuhi Kurenai, recommend them to take the Chunin Exam!"
"Class 10, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, the above three, in the name of Asuma Sarutobi, recommend them to take the Chunin Exam!"
Following Akihara Kagura's first recommendation, other mentoring jounin quickly recommended their own subordinates, but after they finished speaking, there was immediate discussion.
"It hasn't been five years, right?"
"The new genin who graduated this year will directly take the chuunin exam?"
"Would it be too dangerous for them..."
"Please wait!"
Umino Iruka stood in the ranks of chunin and quickly spoke to stop him: "Maybe I am a little troublesome. The above nine people are all my former students in the ninja school..."
"Since you think you're in trouble, don't say anything."
Akihara Kagura interrupted Umino Iruka, chuckled and said: "Teacher Iruka, have you forgotten that Koro is also your student..."
"Fragrant phosphorus is different..."
Umino Iruka stammered and tried to defend himself: "Kara graduated early and is an extremely outstanding student in the ninja school..."
"Are those nine little guys bad?"
Akihara Kagura asked curiously.
"That was not what I meant…"
Umino Iruka quickly explained, but was interrupted by Akihara Kagura. He felt that he couldn't explain it clearly: "Naruto and the nine of them..."
"They are no longer your students."
Hatake Kakashi interrupted Umino Iruka and whispered a fact: "Now Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura are my subordinates, you can't always protect them under your wings. …”
"Iruka, I understand how you feel."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted the exchange between them and said softly: "But give these newcomers a special preparation for the Chunin Exam!"
Just as they were communicating here, an ANBU hurried in and knelt on one knee in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Lord Hokage, there is a conflict between a group of children in the village and the genin of Sunagakure Village!"
"Kill those genin of Sunagakure Village."
Akihara Kagura waved her hand mercilessly, as if the matter could be solved easily: "Send another letter and ask the Fourth Kazekage Rasa whether the ninjas in Sunagakure Village are mentally ill and come to Mu Ye is still making trouble, does he want to provoke a war between Konoha and Sunagakure Village..."
"ah?"
This ANBU was a little dumbfounded.
Everyone present felt helpless. This way of handling it looked like Akihara Kagura wanted to provoke a war between Konoha and Sunagakure Village!
However…
They are used to it.
"It's just a bunch of kids having fun..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, glanced at the crystal ball on the table, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about these little things. Let's go back and inform our subordinates to prepare."
"yes."
The ANBU could only lower his head.
Akihara Kagura was very interested and stood up: "I'm quite interested. Take me over and have a look."
"Kagura!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Kagura, and said in a deep voice: "Those are just children, don't kill anyone."
"how could be?"
Akihara Kagura waved her hand and pushed away the Hokage's office, leaving only one sentence: "I will not bully children, I will only kill the Kazekage..."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akihara Kagura's back, frowned, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please go down first!"
"yes."
A group of ninjas filed out.
After these people left, Koharu went to bed and said, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, this kid is still a little unqualified. He is too obsessed with killing..."
Mito Monoyan also nodded and continued: "It is very suitable for him to become the leader of the root. He can help the village deal with some troubles."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and then he said: "Send someone to send a message to Jiraiya immediately, asking Jiraiya to come back as soon as possible!"
"Jiraiya is very suitable."
The two Hokage advisors nodded with satisfaction.
On Konoha's commercial street.
Several boys and girls stood here confronting each other.
Originally a genin named Kankuro from Sunagakure Village, he was hit on the head by a group of kid from Konoha Ninja School. He wanted to bully this kid and show off the strength of Sunagakure ninja. However, he was stopped by Uchiha Sasuke, and the two sides had a fight. A little conflict.
A genin named Gaara in Sunagakure Village controlled the flying yellow sand and easily subdued Uchiha Sasuke. As a result, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't stand it and clashed with Gaara again, which led to this conflict. expand.
Then…
Fragrant phosphorus happened to pass by.
Regardless of his identity as a ninja of Konoha or his classmates who grew up together, Kaoru couldn't just sit idly by and exchanged a move with Gaara directly. The two were evenly matched!
"you are very funny."
Gaara raised his hand to control the gathering of yellow sand, turning it into a huge claw of sand. He grinned and said, "If I kill you, it will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment, and it will also be very happy..."
"Then let's try it!"
Xiang Phosphorus adjusted his glasses, and diamond chains slowly emerged from his back. The curse seal on his arm was also slowly activated, and he could enter the curse seal state at any time.
Because this guy named Gaara is... very strong!
Just when the two red-haired little guys were about to fight, a voice stopped the conflict between them, or wanted to provoke a bigger conflict.
"It should be more fulfilling to kill me, right?"
Akihara Kagura stood next to Kosovo, looking at Gaara who was controlling the Sand Claw, with a mocking smile on his lips: "Let me see who this is, I think he is the son of the Kazekage." If you dare to cause trouble in Konoha, haven't you been beaten for a long time?"
"..."
Gaara's expression suddenly turned ugly.
If Gaara was asked to evaluate the psychological shadow of his childhood, Yashamaru, who assassinated his uncle, would be ranked first, and Akihara Kagura, who repeatedly beat him and Shukaku, would definitely be ranked second...
"Akihara Kagura..."
Kankuro and Temari, who were standing next to Gaara, also recognized Akihara Kagura's appearance. They had never seen Akihara Kagura show off his violence, but they knew that this person often beat Shukaku.
"Well, let me see..."
"The three sons and daughters of the Kazekage are causing trouble in Konoha..."
Akihara Kagura recognized Kankuro and Temari. He had met them occasionally when they were in Sunagakure Village: "Sure enough, it is too much to keep Rasa alive. You are still so careless in teaching your children. It seems that I really need to find an opportunity to kill you. That useless father..."
Third update!
Finished today!
The Chuunin Exams are finally about to begin!
