Naruto, Uzumaki Menma, just wants to conquer the world

The fox demon must be afraid of the boy...

"He will abandon you, just like he abandoned us."

All the while, their words echoed in Tamamo's ears.

It’s not that Tamamo didn’t want to help him, but he never longed for Tamamo’s power.

She has the power to see through people's hearts and can see through the perfunctory and hypocritical attitude.

He never expects help from himself, he always has his own ways.

perhaps......

Just like those guys said, he would always abandon me, right?

The next day, at the seventh training ground, the battle for the bell test had been going on for a long time...

After easily taking care of Satsuki and Sakura, Hatake Kakashi strolled through the forest, casually searching for Menma.

"Menma, there's no point hiding like this! You won't be able to graduate like this, and it will be even more embarrassing if I catch you later."

"It doesn't matter. If I can't graduate, I will immigrate to another ninja village. Then you will have to beg me to come back with a high salary and promote the food I like to eat."

The moment Menma's voice appeared, Kakashi had disappeared from the spot.

He appeared again in the bushes, because he was trying to trick Menma into answering him so as to reveal his position.

He bent down and patted the shoulder of Menma who was squatting on the ground, "Menma, you are too vigilant..."

"Teacher Kakashi, your vigilance is too low!"

Before Kakashi could wonder, Menma turned around and saw this scene: Menma's face was covered with burning detonating tags.

Kakashi's long-sluggish brain worked rapidly and he came to the conclusion: this was a clone and he was the one who fell into the trap.

A Jonin's eyesight would never be deceived by a clone of a Ninja School student of E level difficulty. This is a physical clone.

For physical clones, the lowest difficulty level is C-level water clone, which is a difficulty that only Chunin can practice.

Kakashi had enough confidence that he would be able to see through this clone.

The physical shadow clone developed by the Second Hokage is a B-level ninjutsu, which is a ninjutsu of Jonin difficulty, but is the difficulty of this clone really only B-level?

The entity of this clone is hair, and it has offensive properties, which Kakashi has confirmed.

Because part of Menma's clone's body had turned into hair, the hair grew automatically and wrapped around his feet like vines.

This operation requires more meticulous and precise chakra control ability, just like one's own Thunder Shadow Clone.

Changes in nature and form are characteristics only available in A-level ninjutsu.

At the same time, in the Hokage's office...

Danzo, who was watching the battle in front of the crystal ball with the Sandaime Hokage, said: "The precise control of chakra makes the clone closer to the original, but not to the extent that Kakashi can't see through it."

The Sandaime Hokage was not surprised. "The long period of peace has inevitably made him lax in thinking. This is just a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."

The fact is just as the Third Hokage said, Kakashi has been lazy for too long.

It is difficult for a ninja's body functions to degenerate due to lack of exercise. Even with high-intensity physical activities, their skin is still fair and smooth. Even though they often hold weapons, they do not have rough palms. These are all the effects of chakra.

However, the ninja's fighting consciousness will slacken due to immersion in a peaceful life.

There is no doubt that Kakashi Hatake's current strength and experience are stronger than during the Third War and the Anbu period.

However, his vigilance against the enemy and his foresight of danger became dull.

This is not incomprehensible...

Comfort, people all want comfort. They are not afraid of death but are afraid of not having comfort.

It is impossible for people to keep their minds tense all the time, even the Sandaime Hokage who came from that era is no exception.

Kakashi's knowledge of Menma's strength was based only on what he had heard from others, and he believed that he was only slightly stronger than Satsuki.

Misjudgment and underestimation of the opponent's strength is a big taboo for ninjas.

Furthermore, thanks to his experience in harsh environments, Menma's ability to hide and evade has reached a level that makes it difficult for ordinary ninjas to track him.

Menma is going all out and using all his efforts...

Kakashi is half-hearted, thinking about how to go easy on the students and what to eat when he gets home at night...

It is normal for this situation to occur as one thing grows while the other shrinks.

011 Tiantian’s plan: What should you use to repay what you owe me?

The battle continued. After the smoke from the explosion of the detonating tag, Kakashi was unharmed but covered in dust and looked disheveled. He was definitely not as at ease as when he faced Satsuki.

This time, the explosive tag attack was like using a stone to wake up a sleeping lion, making Kakashi's relaxed mind start to focus.

"Oh, oh, speaking of it, detonating tags are very expensive! You must have saved your pocket money for a long time, right?" Kakashi said jokingly, pretending to be relaxed, while observing his surroundings carefully.

Being able to make Konoha's battle-hardened elite jonin take a serious attitude means that he is not only a new graduate of the ninja school, but also has surpassed the level that a genin should have.

In the Hokage room, Danzo and Hiruzen, who were watching the battle with a crystal ball, continued their conversation:

"Huruzen, you didn't tell Hatake Kakashi about the growth of the Nine-tailed brat, did you?"

"Because I want to teach him a lesson! Seeing how lazy he has been these days, it would be better if he could learn a lesson."

In the eyes of the Sandaime Hokage, Menma's strength and talent are comparable to those of Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and Itachi Uchiha, who are of the same age as him now.

Among the eight ninja values, hard values ​​such as strength, speed, and energy (except for those with innate chakra) are closely related to physical development. The proficiency in ninjutsu and the skills in physical training all require time to accumulate.

If they fight head-on, they are no match for adult ninjas.

But is there anything head-on on the battlefield?

In fact, their actual combat capability has reached the level that can defeat the Chunin, and the richness of their ninjutsu is even better than that of ordinary Jonin. At the age of 12, they have already shown the potential to become powerful enough to rival the Five Kage in the Ninja World in the future.

During this period, they just lacked a trump card skill that could make them stand out, such as Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Kakashi Hatake's Raikiri and Sharingan, and Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Logically speaking, Hatake Kakashi could have grown to this level before he was twenty years old, but his growth was interrupted.

The heavy blow and pain of the war drained his motivation to move forward like PTSD. What bound him was not the Sharingan, but himself.

What goal could a ninja have?

Kakashi's original goal was to use his own strength and achievements to break the rumors about his father and revive the light of the White Fang.

After this goal was shattered by Obito, he realized the importance of partners.

He received the will to protect Rin from Obito, but lost it shortly afterwards.

When he decided to listen to his master and his wife and step out of the shadows, they both passed away one after another.

He lost not only his parents, companions and mentors, but also his goal to strive for.

Even if his goal was revenge or extreme ideals, he could become stronger, but he didn't.

He is more like an adult who has been crushed by blows and pain and lives his life in a daze.

In the eyes of the Third Hokage, only changes in the external environment and the stimulation of external pressure can force him to move forward again.

As Kakashi was lost in thought and lost in his memories of the Genin Exams, Menma's voice answered, "Wrong, I only borrow money, not save it."

"Oh, by the way, let me explain first, I have buried tens of thousands of detonating talismans here." He reminded again.

Kakashi's pupils widened. It was unbelievable, too unbelievable. No matter from which angle one looked at it, tens of thousands of detonating tags were already an exaggerated number.

Although this information was so exaggerated that it was like a deception tactic of releasing false intelligence, Kakashi still concluded that it was true.

There is no complicated logic behind this; this is just a judgment based on instinct and experience.

I've been feeling an inexplicable sense of disharmony ever since I entered the forest. I should have noticed this obvious ambush long ago. It was my own carelessness.

At this moment, the detonating tags that Menma had buried in the forest exploded at the same time. The noise was so loud that the entire Konoha felt the vibration.

"What happened!"

"It's an enemy attack!"

"The last time there was a shock like this was... "

The people of the ninja village were talking at once, and the ninjas couldn't help but go into alert, ready to engage in battle. The Third Hokage had to dispatch additional ninjas to the streets to maintain order.

At this time, Tenten was practicing offense and defense with Hyuga Ningning: she used ninja tools to attack, and Ningning used Kaiten to defend.

The sudden explosion made Tiantian stop attacking and look in the direction where the thick smoke was coming from.

Ning Ning folded her arms, closed her eyes, and said, "Today is that guy's exam, and as expected, he made such a big fuss."

Tiantian raised his lips slightly and muttered, "It seems that a lot of detonating talismans were used this time..."

"Speaking of which, you've spoiled him too much." Ning Ning criticized Tian Tian: "He has become accustomed to relying on this kind of external force, but..."

Tiantian interrupted, "What's the matter?" She deliberately changed the subject: "Okay, okay, don't worry about him, let's continue practicing!"

However, the smile on Tiantian's lips at that moment was as if his conspiracy had succeeded and his plan had gone through, and his deep gaze was even more chilling.

Over at the seventh training ground, the smoke and dust cleared, and the originally dense forest turned into a mess of rotten wood and branches, with burning tree trunks emitting billowing black smoke.

As the chief active jonin of Konoha and No. 1 in the number of missions completed, it is impossible for him to be unable to handle this situation.

Kakashi looked quite disheveled, but apart from his torn clothes and some scratches on his skin, he was fine.

He is now worried about the safety of Satsuki and Sakura. The explosion just now...

Kakashi knew that the detonating tags that had just exploded were far less than the "tens of thousands" that Menma had exaggerated, but there were at least thousands of them.

A detonating talisman costs at least two thousand taels, and expensive ones can even cost tens of thousands of taels.

Even if calculated at 20 million taels, that would be at least the bounty for S-level missions, or the bounty for hundreds of A-level missions.

Even an ordinary jonin would lose all his savings because of this.

Furthermore, this is not a matter of money. The arms transactions of the ninja village need to be reported, and large arms transactions require approval.

Before he could think about it, Menma's voice came: "Teacher Kakashi, don't worry, I have sent them both to a safe place."

"Yeah, yeah." Kakashi pretended to be relaxed, "Menma, what exactly do you want to do?"

This sense of disharmony still exists: if several teams of Chunin were ambushed in this way, I'm afraid seven or eight out of ten would have been killed.

Without a doubt, this is a killer move.

However, there was no trace of murderous intent in Menma, nor any intention of snatching the bell to complete the test.

What does he want?

Kakashi, who was thinking, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He instinctively jumped sideways to dodge. A dense rain of golden needles passed by where he was just now, smashing the tree trunk in front of him into pieces.

He recognized this ninjutsu, which was: Ninjutsu: Senbon.

Just as Menma analyzed, the ninjutsu in this world is an "advanced technology" that is mastered by a few people.

You are only qualified to learn if someone who masters ninjutsu is willing to teach you and show you the ninjutsu scroll.

You are qualified to touch this knowledge, and then you will face the difficulty of learning ninjutsu, that is, whether you can learn it or not.

This is why people envy, hate and hate the Sharingan. Wouldn't people hate you if you steal someone's skills?

The difficulty of learning ninjutsu corresponds to the ninja level.

E-level ninjutsu: This is the lowest level of ninjutsu and is the basic skill of a ninja, including transformation, clone and substitution techniques.

The threshold is low, the lower limit is low, and the upper limit is high, just as Konoha's number one ninjutsu technician Kakashi Hatake often said: The power of ninjutsu depends on the level of the user. The substitute technique performed by a master and the substitute technique performed by a low-level ninja are completely two different things.

However, few people specifically practice this basic skill because the cost-effectiveness is too low. The time and energy spent on brushing the upper limit of this skill proficiency is not as good as being used to brush the proficiency of other skills.

D-level ninjutsu, C-level ninjutsu, and B-level ninjutsu: correspond to Genin, Chunin, and Jonin respectively.

You read that right, if you can master B-level ninjutsu, you already have the potential to become a jonin.

The biggest misconception that laymen have about ninjas is that they believe ninjas have mastered many ninjutsu.

It's like seeing that some rich man is very rich, so everyone is rich.

Seeing that the top 1 in 10,000 ninjas are very strong, we would think that ordinary ninjas would at least know dozens of ninjutsu, but the reality is often cruel.

This is equivalent to the gap between the rich and the poor. The more powerful the ninja is, the more likely it is that he will be able to use one move to master a hundred moves.
