In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

He quickly and cheerfully took out a large wrapping paper, filled with thirty strings of three-colored dumplings, and handed it to Mitarashi Anko.

"Haha, now we can eat to our hearts' content!"

Mitarashi Anko looked contentedly at the large handful of tricolor dumplings in her hands, holding them to her chest like a large bouquet of flowers.

She pulled out a string of three-colored meatballs and put it in her mouth, intending to savor the sweet and chewy meatballs.

Unexpectedly, the dumpling in Mitarashi Anko's hand suddenly disappeared.

The teeth only bit into a wisp of air.

They came up empty-handed.

"?"

Mitarashi Anko noticed someone had appeared.

She looked up and saw a boy, slightly taller than her, standing beside her.

And in his hand he was holding... the very same string of meatballs she had just been holding!

The hatred for having my meatballs stolen is irreconcilable!

"Hey……"

Just as Mitarashi Anko was about to speak...

She then heard the boy, who didn't look very old, ask with some confusion,

"The taste was just so-so, I didn't think it was very delicious."

Why do you like eating this so much?

"You bastard! You stole my meatballs and dared to say my favorite meatballs aren't good! That's just too much!"

Mitarashi Anko's sharp gaze swept over Tenyu.

He threatened him, clearly displeased.

"Hey kid!"

Hurry up and give me double the amount of meatballs!

Otherwise, I'll make you regret it today!

"What a temper."

Tianyu clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Mitarashi Anko, you're not going through menopause at such a young age, are you?"

"What did you say!!"

Mitarashi Anko was instantly enraged and her fur stood on end.

He was furious.

He pulled a kunai from the ninja tool pouch on his leg.

He casually tossed it towards the boy in front of him.

However, at the very moment the kunai made its move,

Mitarashi Anko immediately regretted it.

The handsome young man in front of me

Although he was already taller than me, he looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

He's still just a little kid.

What kind of ability can someone of this age have?

Genin?

If you are a little stronger,

He's only just been promoted to Chunin.

I'm a Special Jonin, after all.

Even a kunai thrown out randomly is not something a genin or chunin could handle.

Why did I just casually throw the kunai away?

If I hurt him, I'll probably get myself into trouble again.

I should have chosen to throw a punch earlier.

We should have just punched this brat away!

Just as Mitarashi Anko was feeling remorseful,

In her eyes,

A rather surprising scene unfolded.

Huh?

Then I saw that kid,

Facing the kunai flying towards him,

They didn't dodge or avoid it.

He calmly extended his index and middle fingers and gently caught the kunai that was flying toward his throat.

"Mitarashi Anko, are you planning to murder your superior?"

"Superior?"

Mitarashi Anko's expression changed.

She wasn't stupid; she instantly recognized Tianyu's identity.

Despite his young age, the fact that he could easily catch his own kunai proves that he is quite strong.

And this guy even claimed to be his superior...

"Are you Lord Tianyu?"

Although I already had the answer in my heart

But looking at the boy's youthful face in front of him...

Mitarashi Anko's tone still carried a hint of barely suppressed hesitation.

Although Mitarashi Anko had heard of Tenmuro's name before, she had never actually met him.

This was the first time the two had met.

Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

young,

They're so young!

My superior is unbelievably young!

“It’s me.” Tianyu nodded.

"Mitarashi Anko greets Lord Tenmuro!"

Upon learning the other party's identity, Mitarashi Anko immediately knelt on one knee and bowed before Tenmuro.

During the Chunin Exams, Tengo was Mitarashi Anko's direct superior, so she naturally dared not show the slightest disrespect.

"Get up," Tianyu said calmly.

"Yes." Mitarashi Anko got up from the ground and asked, "Did you come to me, Lord Tengo, to inquire about matters concerning the Chunin Exams?"

“That’s right.” Tenyu nodded and said somewhat modestly, “Because I was directly promoted to Jonin by the Hokage, I have never participated in this kind of Chunin Exam before. This time, the Hokage suddenly made me an examiner, and I do have a lot of things I don’t understand about the process, so I need to ask you for advice.”

"..."

consult?

Mitarashi Anko secretly sighed to herself.

Lord Tianyu... are you sure you're not really here for Versailles after hearing what you just said?

Although that's what I was thinking,

However, Mitarashi Anko still took out a scroll from her ninja tool pouch and handed it to Tengo.

"Lord Tenno, I have recorded the details of this Chunin Exam on this scroll."

The Hokage had already told me this before.

Even though you are the examiner for the second Chunin Exam, the Forest of Death.

However, you won't need to do too much for this exam. As your assistant, I will take care of all the arrangements for you.

However, what if something unexpected happens during this exam...?

"We implore Lord Tenyu to enter the examination hall immediately and protect the safety of those genin."

"Well, I see."

Tianyu put the scroll into his pocket.

Then, with a somewhat serious expression, he said to Mitarashi Anko,

"Oh, right, besides that, there's something else I want to tell you."

"Please speak, Lord Tenmuro," Mitarashi Anko said respectfully.

"Try to eat fewer meatballs and desserts in the future."

"what?"

Mitarashi Anko looked up, completely bewildered.

Meow meow meow?

This?
