But how could Sakura, who was following behind them, know what Menma was thinking?
Sakura only saw them being close to each other and going home together. The sadness in her heart could not be described in words.
Tonight, Sakura couldn't sleep all night and tossed and turned in bed.
What kind of feeling is that?
Is it jealousy? Or something else...
The past scenes come to mind...
It's like it happened yesterday...
He should only like me...
Is that woman as pretty as me? That's impossible, right?
My heart aches, I can't sleep...
033 Uzumaki Menma Explodes to Kill Princess Fengyun: Are you an orphan too?
This Chunin exam was too easy and did not match the difficulty level required of the elite students of the ninja school.
Therefore, other tasks are needed to assess their abilities.
So, today Menma was summoned to the Hokage room, and the Sandaime Hokage personally assigned him this escort mission.
Mission Difficulty: Not Yet Determined.
Mission content: Accept the employment request from Asama Sandayu and protect the famous actress Fuji Fuze Yukie.
"What? Just me?"
The Third Hokage nodded and explained the reason: "Konoha is short of staff recently..." But this was just an excuse.
Generally speaking, ninjas act collectively in teams, with three-person or four-person tactical teams being the most basic action units.
However, this time his ability to act alone will be tested, as Uzuki Yugao will monitor his actions in secret.
Next, the Third Hokage introduced him to the future work arrangements:
The mission deadline is the end of June. At that time, Konoha will hold the Chunin Exam, and Menma will be assigned to work related to the Chunin Exam. At that time, other people will take over the job of protecting Miss Fuyuki Hui.
After the work related to the Chunin Exam is completed, he will join Kakashi Hatake's team to participate in the escort mission to protect Miss Fuyuki Ei as they go to the Snow Country for filming.
Well, the schedule is full.
The life of a corporate slave is so boring and monotonous that even Menma himself couldn't help but sigh.
The work schedule is full.
Sure enough, I want to conquer the world even more.
Conquer the world! Government the world! Conquer the world!
Moreover, being independent is not something that Menma is happy about. He doesn't like it. He feels very insecure and very scared.
Menma is very aware of the fact that he is very weak (actually he is not weak at all). If he has teammates (tools), he can use them as cannon fodder and shout a few slogans to let them charge and die.
Selling out teammates?
What is selling out teammates? This is called preserving the fire.
I will avenge them and take care of their wives and daughters later!
When I become a god, I will buy them resurrection armor and put them in the fountain to revive them.
Menma went to the capital, but thanks to this mission, he could see another scene on the way: a ragged crowd was walking on the road to the capital.
Some walked barefoot without shoes, some wore tattered strips of cloth as a single garment, some wore only a loincloth...
They were naked, hungry, and covered in mud and dirt so thick that it could serve as armor against the cold wind. Their goal was to go to the capital to make a living.
From time to time you can see children and girls being sold on the road, and from time to time you can see merchants selecting slaves. The strong ones are sold to mines, factories, and construction sites, while the beautiful ones are cleaned and sold to the service industry.
Hatred, deep-seated hatred, hatred for the way things are.
The blue sky is dead, and from now on, the world will be turned upside down. I am the yellow sky!
So, without regard for the consequences, he killed a few human traffickers, freed a few slaves, and distributed their money.
Killing cannot solve the root problem, but...
No matter what, let’s kill him first!
"Thank you, thank you, sir."
"He is a messenger sent by God..."
The young man accepted the praise from the slaves with a calm look, distributed the money evenly and showed them ways to make a living.
In Konoha, ever since the Wave Country mission, Naruko never took the initiative to look for Menma again.
Not wanting, but not dare.
She realized the insurmountable gap between herself and the other party.
She thought back to past conversations and recalled the debates over whether hard work pays off.
This is Naruko's answer: "Hard work may not always pay off, but without hard work there will be no reward! How will you know if you don't try!"
This is Menma's answer: "Effort is the least valuable thing in this world. It is something that animals and plants can do."
"All life is trying to live. Why do you think that your success is because you work harder than other life? That is not true."
“Some people are born into a position that others cannot achieve even if they work hard all their lives. What did they work hard for? They just happened to be born into this position.”
"My life is better than that of other animals, but what have I given? I just happened to be born as a human being."
Naruko couldn't understand what Menma said. She felt that Menma was too violent and she wanted Menma to know that there were many beautiful things in this world.
Her gentleness was only met with a disdainful response from the other party: "The celestial dragons who have lived a life of luxury since childhood and have never experienced hardship, and who are high above others, will never understand the suffering of mortals."
This is a clash of values, a confrontation between the will of fire that Naruko upholds and the weird ideas that Menma upholds.
“Developing problems can only be solved through development, replacing old problems with new ones.”
"Some people worry about the food hygiene and quality issues of the Tomahawk steak Mark ate, while others worry about starving to death tomorrow."
He thinks he is the devil in the bottle in One Thousand and One Nights, and after three thousand years of silence, he finally learns to hate humans...
But people always overestimate themselves, so he can't do it.
He can see through many things, but he is doubtful and hesitant...
He thought he saw through the fickleness of the world, and through life and death, but he could not see through himself.
But at least he wanted to change, to use his own flesh and blood as the price to get closer to the utopia he wanted, and this was the meaning of his life.
In addition, Menma Uzumaki was promoted to Chunin, which was not something that everyone was happy about.
Just like how Naruko felt: it was like a brick was pressing on her chest.
What is this feeling?
Jealousy? Unconvinced? Competitiveness? It seems like all of them.
On the surface, she maintains a humble and non-competitive appearance, but in fact, she cares more about her No. 1 status among her peers than anyone else.
The confession failed, and the person he confessed to got promoted before him...
This is a feeling of frustration that I have never experienced before.
After knowing that Menma had become a Chunin, didn't Satsuki feel mixed emotions?
His back is getting farther and farther away, and I can only watch him from afar, admiring him becoming more and more outstanding.
This is in front of the apartment building where Menma lives. The girl stopped here and looked at the floor where Menma lives.
She knew that Menma was out on a mission.
It was because she knew this that she was able to muster up the courage to come here.
"I can't catch up with you anymore."
Her voice was so soft, so soft that even if someone stood next to her, they wouldn't hear it, but...
It just so happened that someone heard what she said.
"Excuse me?" The voice came from behind Zuo Yue.
Feminine, gentle, intellectual, the voice sounds familiar...
Zuo Yue turned around and saw the girl walking towards him. She looked at him warily and her figure seemed out of place.
Yes! They had fought in the Land of Waves, but Satsuki had never seen the other's true face under the mask.
"Are you here to find someone?"
"No, I was just passing by."
Zuoyue took a step forward and was about to leave. Her behavior of trying to cover up the truth was the last way for Zuoyue to maintain her tsundere appearance.
Satsuki passed by the girl, and soon she heard the girl's voice again: "Are you here to see Menma-kun?"
He stopped and stood still, his pupils filled with confusion and disbelief, as if wondering: How and why does she know all this?
The girl's voice continued, "Menma-kun is out on a mission and won't be back for a few days."
At this time, Zuo Yue also thought about it and reacted. She remembered that no one lived here except Menma.
In the capital of the Fire Nation, you can see both of these scenes coexisting at the same time: prosperous, bustling streets and large shopping malls.
But you can also see this scene: the industrial areas are dirty and smelly.
The workers in the factory performed repetitive labor for more than ten or twenty hours like machines.
The beggars here are different from those in other places: the roads are covered with starving grass, and the sight is horrible.
The winter in the capital is very cold. Countless people die from the cold when the spring comes. "There are no beggars every other year" is a well-known rumor here.
This is the filming location where the crew is located. Menma meets Fuji Fuyukiie's agent Asama Santaifu who has been waiting for him for a long time.
Just after they met, Menma's identity was questioned.
"Are you really a Chunin?"
"Huh? Can't your eyes see?"
Of course, Santaifu recognized his ninja vest that only a Chunin could wear. He had lived for most of his life and thought he had seen a lot.
But he still found it a little hard to believe: the child was so young, and now was not a time of war, and a Chunin of this age was extremely rare.
In the lounge backstage of the crew, Menma and Miss Fuyuki Hui's first meeting was not a pleasant one.
Although Santaifu introduced the two parties very politely, Feng Xuehui still did not hide her disdainful attitude towards the young man in front of her.
I don't know if it was because seeing the ninjas of Konoha brought back bad memories for her, or if it was really because of what she said: "I actually let this kind of kid who is still wet behind the ears protect me."
"Ms. Fuyuki Ei, how can you say that?" Santaifu condemned, and hurriedly apologized to Menma.
This was Menma’s first impression of Fuyuki Hui: an actress who was distinguished in front of people but unruly behind their backs, had a bad temper, was overbearing, and most likely had a rotten crotch (not at all).
Because this is his stereotype of the entertainment industry: 9 out of 10 are brothels, and it is a dirty place.
Menma will not tolerate people with bad attitudes. He directly complained to their faces: "The acting is really bad. It feels worse than the double."
At this moment, Menma seemed to hear such a familiar and cordial voice from Anton Star: Well done! The enemy vehicle has been destroyed!
Her pupils were dilated, her fists were clenched, and Miss Feng Xuehui's gaze seemed to kill people.
The defense is broken, the defense is broken!
Seize the vital point, kill with one strike, and cause the ammunition to explode!
What do you call this? This is called professionalism! Targeting the weak points of the armor.
"No, no, Master Menma is talking about other people." San Taifu hurriedly tried to avoid the crisis, "Master Menma, is that right?"
After this, the conflict between the two not only did not ease, but became more and more intense.
And every time they quarreled or had a verbal conflict, Miss Feng Xuehui, who was known for her sharp tongue, never won.
For example, this time, in the lounge...
"You are such an undisciplined brat. Didn't your parents teach you manners?"
