Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

If I don't pass the Chunin Exam this time, Grandma Mito is going to nag me again.

Jiraiya also shifted his attention from the book in his hands and began to speak:

"That guy Sakumo Hatake from our class passed the Chunin exam two years ago."

If we don't hurry, the next time we see him, we might have to call him "Jonin-sama."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade pouted unhappily and picked up a small white dog that was following behind Kagura.

Seeing the puppy's clearly displeased expression, she laughed happily and began to rub its little face with her hands.

This is a small dog that appeared next to Kagura a year ago. According to Kagura, it is a ninja dog that he trained.

In addition to helping them relay information during missions, they are also a great help in tracking down enemies.

What they didn't know was that this seemingly adorable little dog was actually Shukaku.

Just a year ago, through his tireless efforts, the fusion rate of the One-Tail finally reached 100%.

Kagura couldn't help but complain about the system's settings.

He only spent two months on the first 50%, but it took him almost two years to complete the remaining 50%...

To his surprise, right after his One-Tail Fusion reached 100%, the information on the Two-Tail Fusion automatically appeared in his system attributes.

As that message appeared, a pure white cat-like creature with two tails suddenly appeared inside his body.

That is naturally the two-tailed cat demon.

But before he could enjoy his joy for long, he discovered something that gave him a headache.

That is, the seemingly gentle One-Tail suddenly became noticeably agitated after the Two-Tail appeared.

The two little guys fight inside him every day without warning. Although it doesn't really affect his body, it does make him feel noisy.

Fortunately, after the fusion rate reached 100%, he was finally able to freely release the tailed beast inside his body.

Although there are certain restrictions, the tailed beasts cannot stray too far from him, otherwise they will be automatically recalled.

But it's still a decent solution.

So, after some transformations by Yiwei, a small white dog appeared in the party.

Moreover, Kagura is certain that in the near future, there will be another kitten with two tails.

Even further into the future, there might be turtles, gorillas, foxes, and so on...

Over these three years, Kagura's various attributes have also undergone tremendous changes.

His current attributes are:

Eye Technique: (Three-Tomoe Sharingan), Progress 72.3%.

Physical skills: (Sixth gate, Jing gate), progress 67.2%.

Chakra: (Jonin level), progress 85.6%.

Tailed Beast: Two-Tails, Fusion Rate 78%

All attributes have been greatly improved, but apart from physical skills being upgraded by one level, the others remain at their original level.

Kagura understood that as his strength increased, he was slowly encountering a bottleneck and would no longer experience the rapid growth he had at the beginning.

As for ninjutsu, the system has only issued three missions in the past three years.

Of these three missions, two involved B-rank ninjutsu, and only one involved an S-rank ninjutsu.

Leaving aside B-rank ninjutsu for now, let's focus on introducing this S-rank ninjutsu.

This is Kagura's first taijutsu-type ninjutsu: the Eight Gates.

In fact, the Eight Gates Formation could only be classified as an A-rank ninjutsu in the original ranking system.

However, it is clear that Kagura inherited a ninjutsu with the power of "Night Guy", so the system classified it as S-rank.

(Some might ask, isn't Kagura's attribute itself identified by the Eight Gates of the Eight Gates Formation?)

Doesn't this mean he already knows the Eight Gates technique?

This is indeed a misconception. As we all know, the opening of the Eight Gates is closely related to the user's physical condition.

The better your physical condition, the more doors you can open, which is why the Eight Gates are used as a standard.

The fact that Kagura's current physical attribute is marked as six gates does not mean that he can open the View Gate without taking damage.

Only when the progress reaches 100% can the gate at that stage be opened without damage.

Of course, in the years of fighting against different enemies, Kagura has also successfully copied many ninjutsu using her Sharingan.

However, given that these ninjutsu are not of a high level, they will not be discussed here.

They rushed all the way and finally made it back to Konoha Village before the registration period.

Registration is actually very simple; it's just at the window next to where they usually accept assignments.

They solemnly filled in the names of the four people, and after handing over the mission to the Land of Whirlpools, they came out.

As soon as they came out, they saw three familiar faces.

The silver-haired man was none other than Hatake Sakumo, whom they had previously mentioned as having been promoted to Chunin.

Beside him was Might Guy, wearing a green bodysuit and sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut.

The last one is a handsome guy with long light blue hair.

This person is none other than Tsunade's lover in the original work—Dan Kato.

Upon seeing Kagura and the others, Might Guy energetically greeted them first:

"Hey, my rivals, are you guys back today?"

Kagura nodded in acknowledgment and began to explain:

"Yes, we rushed back to register for the Chunin Exams."

By the way, Might Guy, you're still a genin, right? Did you sign up?

【Hate to talk about / what is the meaning of the word? ㈨ ④ 8З 24○ ㈨②】

At this point, Matt Day revealed his signature gums and confidently replied:

"No, my team leader said that I was not good enough for the exam, so my name was not reported."

No, what's there to be proud of? Why are you so confident?

Just as Kagura remained silent, Kato Dan, who was standing to the side, looked at Tsunade and the others and said gently:

"Everyone knows your abilities; you already possess strength surpassing that of a Chunin."

So don't be nervous, just relax and you'll definitely pass the exam.

Kato Dan was actually a year older than them, and was their senior in the Ninja Academy.

However, after becoming teammates with Sakumo Hatake, who was also a Chunin, he gradually became more familiar with Kagura and her group over the years.

Looking at Kato Dan, who was as gentle as an older brother, the group nodded unconsciously.

After exchanging their recent mission experiences, the group took their leave.

After bidding farewell to Kato Dan and the others, Kagura's expression was strange as she kept stealing glances at Tsunade beside her.

Although the two have maintained a tacit ambiguity over the years, given their age, they have never taken the initiative to break the ice.

However, due to a man's strong possessiveness, he was still somewhat unsettled when he saw Kato Dan.

That person was Tsunade's lover in the original work, although the whole plot has changed drastically because of my appearance.

But who knows what effect this fateful connection will have?

Sensing Kagura's furtive glance, Tsunade keenly looked back, her almond-shaped eyes wide as she asked:

"What are you doing?"

Upon being discovered, Kagura immediately looked straight ahead and, forcing herself to remain calm, replied:

"No, I didn't say anything."

However, based on a woman's unique sixth sense, Tsunade judged that Kagura was lying.

Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly jumped to Kagura's side, hugging his arm again.

She leaned close to Kagura's ear, and whispered in an alluring voice through her cherry-like lips:

Really?

hiss~~~

Where did this little devil learn all these tricks?

Seeing Kagura's expression, which seemed to freeze completely, Tsunade deliberately smiled.

She let go of Kagura's arm and ran to Kagura.

With his hands on his lower back, he leaned down and looked at Kagura mischievously, saying:

"Hmph! Who told you to keep things from me?"

After saying that, she stopped looking at Kagura, turned around, and skipped ahead.

Kagura smiled helplessly and silently followed.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets of Konoha, elongating the shadows of the two people until they finally met at a single point.

Oh no.

Behind them were two friends who were eating dog food to their hearts' content...

Chapter 40 Undercurrent

The next day, Kagura and the others received a message.

This year's Chunin will be somewhat different from the previous two.

This Chunin Exam will be jointly organized by Konoha, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure, in order to demonstrate the friendly cooperation between the three forces.

Yes, you heard right, this is to demonstrate the "friendship" among the three countries.
