Konoha: I have a gravity training room

"Ahem! Okay, after going through all this today, I'm sure you're all tired. Go back and rest. As for the exam, I'll let you know later."

After saying the last sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen let everyone go.

However, the fifteen little strong men were still called together by several teachers and given some instructions.

Kai rubbed Xia Mu and Tian Tian's heads with a big smile on his face: "You two little guys did a great job! I'm proud of you!"

Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but say, "Shino performed very well too."

Kakashi shrugged. "Well, under those circumstances, anyone who didn't faint from the murderous aura was a good guy. Sasuke was still able to move at that time, which was also very impressive. But, Xia Mu, you are a bit beyond the standard. I didn't expect that you have mastered the swordsmanship to such a level that you can become a jonin. Aoba really has a good disciple!"

Yamashiro Aoba couldn't suppress his smile, but tried to be humble: "I didn't teach him anything. His strength was mainly cultivated by you two, Kakashi and Gai."

Although he was taught by you, he is my student!

I am proud!

Several teachers competed to show off their students, but Sarutobi Asuma was the only one who didn't know what to say. Although his three students didn't faint, they were the fastest to dodge at that moment. Seeing that Natsuki could deal with Orochimaru, the three of them didn't even think about covering themselves, but just hid and watched, which made people laugh and cry.

1.4 What can Asuma say?

Xia Mu and the others just let the teachers compete with each other, but they felt a little tired.

Fortunately, several teachers were also busy and left soon. After all, Orochimaru's invasion was such a big deal, they had to investigate as soon as possible and try to find Orochimaru, otherwise the exam could not continue.

"Let's go too. Everyone should go home and have a good rest."

Xia Mu greeted his friends and reminded them to be careful, then left hand in hand with Tiantian.

However, Xia Mu always felt that someone was looking at him. When he turned around, he found that it was Gaara. His panda eyes seemed eager to try and were murderous.

Xia Mu didn't care about this. Gaara was mentally ill now. He wanted to kill people at every turn, especially the strong.

Apparently, Xia Mu's previous performance made Gaara want to do something.

Chapter 97 Kato Megumi's Loss

"Hey! Your name is Xia Mu, right?"

The sudden voice made Xia Mu confused, and then he immediately locked his eyes on Kankuro beside Gaara. It was this guy who spoke.

The friends who were originally planning to leave naturally heard it as well. They all paused and subconsciously turned back to look at Kankuro, intending to see what this Sand Ninja wanted to do.

Kankuro continued to ask: "What was that cracked knife you just used?"

Oh wow, this is to inquire about information, but it’s too direct, asking the real person directly in front of so many people!

It seems that Natsuki's performance makes the Sand Ninja very wary. They are probably afraid that Natsuki will disrupt their original plan.

Xia Mu didn't care and answered casually, "The Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is forged from thousands of chakra fragments, connected by chakra. By controlling the chakra, the blade can be manipulated to split and combine at will. Not only can it be extended and retracted at will, but it can also be used as thousands of hidden weapons. It's very flexible. Are you satisfied with this introduction? Puppet Master Kankuro hiding in bandages!"

Kankuro 21 was startled when he heard this and subconsciously pressed down the bandages that bound his back like a mummy.

He originally wanted to find out some information about Xia Mu, and he was not worried that Xia Mu would take action against him. At most, he would not tell anyone. But if he told anyone, wouldn't he have the information?

But he didn't expect that Xia Mu did say it, but he also exposed his information!

Friends and other candidates who had not left yet all focused their attention on the bandaged mummy behind Kankuro, each smiling maliciously, making Kankuro look ugly.

Gaara couldn't help but curse: "Idiot!"

Fortunately, no one said anything, but quickly came back to their senses and looked at Xia Mu, remembering the scene where Xia Mu used the crack knife to avoid the block and cut off Orochimaru's head.

I got goosebumps all over my body for a while.

The Thousand Blades Demon Sword? What a unique weapon, seemingly unstoppable!

Xia Mu is already so powerful, and with such a special weapon, even Orochimaru will suffer, let alone others!

This made the candidates who already had a psychological shadow about Orochimaru even more want to withdraw from the competition. It was too terrible and there was no way they could do well in the exam!

Xia Mu didn't waste any time as he waved to his friends again and left hand in hand with Tian Tian.

The name of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades quickly spread in Konoha, and some people even gave Xia Mu a nickname: Konoha Demonic Sword.

This is also inspired by the name Konoha White Fang. I heard that Xia Mu learned the swordsmanship of Konoha White Fang and used the magic sword Thousand Blades as a weapon, so wouldn’t it be very appropriate to call it Konoha Demon Sword?

But soon after, the past of Konoha White Fang was dug up, and many old people in the village felt very guilty about it, because their bad public opinion at that time led to the suicide of the powerful Konoha White Fang, causing Konoha to lose a powerful fighting force. This may be one of the reasons for Konoha's decline.

Fortunately, there is no root controlling public opinion now, so the direction of public opinion is not bad.

Danzo shouldn't bother with a dead person.

Some people even went to Tiantian's Ninja Tool Shop to find the owner and asked him to add the character of Konoha White Fang to the Ninja Kill card game, which gave the owner a headache.

Xia Mu didn't care about this at all. The person had been dead for many years, and it would be useless to say or do anything now.

The Chunin Exams probably won't continue in the near future. The entire Konoha needs to be checked to make sure Orochimaru is no longer lurking in Konoha before the exams can continue. But the check is not that simple and will take several days at least.

And it is not convenient to complete tasks during this period, so we can only train.

Yamashiro Tomoya was pulled out by Yamashiro Aoba for extra training, and Kato Megumi also temporarily stopped going to the hospital and joined the training.

However, the girl became a little anxious because she couldn't help this time. She probably felt that although she had learned medical ninjutsu, she couldn't even figure out where Hongdou was hurt, which made her very frustrated.

But in fact, it’s not her fault. No one can break Orochimaru’s curse. Even Kakashi can only seal it by force.

But this girl has always been in a bad mood, which makes people very worried.

Yamashiro Tomoya tried to persuade him, but it was useless, so he could only ask Xia Mu for help.

"Boss, please! You are so capable, you can definitely help Xiaohui! Xiaohui is very depressed now, you have to help her, you are our boss!"

"No, as her boyfriend, you can't persuade her, and you want me to do it?"

Xia Mu rolled his eyes speechlessly, but finally agreed.

After all, Kato Megumi is a member of Team 9, and they will have to act together in the Death Forest exam. If Kato Megumi continues like this, something might happen, which will affect the team's exam, which would be bad.

So, while Yamashiro Aoba was training Yamashiro Tomoya, Natsuki called Kato Megumi aside.

Then he handed over a string of meatballs. It is said that sweet food can calm people down.

"Thank you, boss." Kato Megumi silently took it and took a bite. The sweet taste made her expression brighten a little.

"Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Mu took the opportunity to speak, "You're not in the right state. This won't do. I know you're a strong girl and want to solve your own problems, but there are some things you can still talk about with your friends. You'll feel better if you talk them out. You probably didn't tell him because you were afraid that Ren Ye would worry. But it's okay to tell me, right? I'm the boss, and I can give you some good advice."

Fujie hesitated for a moment, making sure that Yamashiro Tomoya, who was practicing in the distance, couldn't hear her before she spoke haltingly, "Boss, I feel so useless."

Xia Mu was curious: "Why do you think so?"

Kato Megumi's expression was gloomy. "At that time, I couldn't help at all. Not only was I frightened by Orochimaru, I couldn't even heal the examiner Red Bean. I learned medical ninjutsu, but I still couldn't do anything. I'm really useless!"

That's it!

It is said that young girls are very emotional, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

At that time, let alone Kato Megumi, many people could not do anything. Some were even frightened by Orochimaru's murderous aura and fainted. Even Sasuke, who claimed to be the genius of Uchiha, was trembling with fear. So it is actually understandable.

But Kato Megumi doesn't think so. Unlike Sakura, she doesn't take everything for granted.

She can accept that she is not strong, but she cannot accept that she is useless!

She was the only one who treated Anko at the time, yet she couldn't even determine the severity of Anko's illness. It felt like all her medical ninjutsu skills were wasted. If that wasn't useless, what was it?!

No one blames this silly girl, but she blames herself!

But it is precisely because of this that she is a gentle, kind and motivated girl!

That guy Renye is so lucky!

Chapter 98 Sakura's Reluctance

Xia Mu smiled and patiently explained, "Xiao Hui, you think this way because you don't understand the situation. Examiner Hongdou was once Orochimaru's disciple, but was later abandoned by Orochimaru. He also put a curse on her. Once the curse is activated, she will be in great pain. Even Konoha Hospital and the Hokage can't solve this problem. Why are you, a little girl, blaming yourself here?"

Kato Hui raised her head, her eyes full of surprise: "Is that so?"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"

Xia Mu said as if it was a matter of course, "And you played a role at that time. Many people chose to stand by and watch, but only you and Renye supported the examiner Hongdou in time and worked hard to treat her. In this respect, you and Renye are better than many people!"

Kato Megumi took a deep breath and seemed to be in a much better mood.

But she still felt uneasy: "Boss, I, I really want to help, I don't want to be a useless person!"

Xia Mu touched his chin, feeling a little conflicted. "Although I really want to help you improve your strength, it won't be possible in a short period of time. There are many ways to help. You know medical ninjutsu, for example. For another... maybe you need a summoning beast."

The spirit beast is the only possible way Xia Mu can think of to help in the short term.

Improving strength doesn't happen overnight, and it's unlikely to become stronger suddenly.

Moreover, Kato Megumi's medical ninjutsu is actually quite good, and she has even learned the palm technique. In Xia Mu's opinion, she can actually be of great help, but this girl obviously feels that it is not enough.

Then the only thing that comes to mind is the spirit beast.

"A spirit beast?"

Kato Megumi's eyes lit up. "Yes! If I could contract a useful summoning beast, wouldn't that be helpful? Wouldn't that help?"

Very good, the little girl is back to spirits!

Xia Mu continued, "Your sister-in-law Tiantian has a summoning beast contract scroll for a giant mountain eagle. Perhaps you could give it a try. Giant mountain eagles are very useful. Small ones can help transmit information, and large ones can carry people. However, giant mountain eagles are quite proud and may be difficult to tame..."

Kato Megumi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I want to help, but using the same summoning beast as the boss would be redundant. Are there any other summoning beasts?"

Xia Mu looked up at the sky and said, "As for the others, perhaps only Kakashi-senpai's ninja dog can be contracted by you."

"Ninja dog? Kakashi-sensei's?"

"Well, Senior Kakashi's summoning beast is a Yagatsune Hound. It can not only understand human language, but also has a keen sense of smell. It can assist in searching and tracking. Even if the target is thousands of miles away, it can be found. To be honest, I am actually worried that Orochimaru has not left yet. When we enter the Death Forest for the exam, I am afraid that your sister-in-law and friends will be in danger. If you can find everyone in time, I will feel much more at ease..."

"Then let's contract a ninja dog, boss!"

Kato Megumi's eyes sparkled. "Actually, I like dogs very much. If it's a ninja dog, I'm willing to make a contract. And the ninja dog's powerful tracking ability can also help the boss, right?"

Seeing the girl like this, Xia Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Then let's go and ask Kakashi-senpai to let you contract the Eight Ninja Dogs. Fortunately, there is no limit to the number of summoned beasts you can contract. If you want to contract the Mountain Eagle or other summoned beasts in the future, you can do so."

Kato Megumi recovered her spirits, and Yamashiro Tomoya was the happiest.

He said that the boss had a way, and not long after, the boss successfully comforted Xiaohui.

When he heard that Xiaohui wanted to contract Kakashi's summoning beast, he naturally agreed and clamored to go and ask Kakashi together.

Kato Megumi knew that her boyfriend was worried about her, and she felt a little guilty, so she couldn't help but pull his hand.

Yamashiro Aoba said he was touched by the dog food and quickly said, "I remember Kakashi has been training students recently. It looks like it's time for lunch. He should be at Ichiraku Ramen. Let's go check it out."

Unexpectedly, Kakashi was actually at Ichiraku Ramen, and the three members of Team 7 were also there.

But no matter how delicious Ichiraku Ramen is, you can't eat it all the time. Ninja training is so intense, it's not enough to just eat ramen.

"Hey! Kakashi, I found you!"

Yamashiro Aoba raised his hand in greeting, "My student wants to see you about something."

Kakashi raised his hand in response, then looked at Natsuki: "Natsuki, tell me what you want to say."

Xia Mu was about to speak, but was stopped by Kato Hui: "Boss, let me speak for myself. You have helped me a lot. I can't always rely on you!"

Xia Mu shut up after hearing this, and he also admired Kato Megumi very much.

If you ask for help from others, you must have the attitude of asking for help. If Xia Mu asked, it would certainly be successful, but Kato Megumi doesn't want that. She wants to be a useful person, and some things must be done by herself!

"¨. Kakashi-sensei!"

Kato Megumi bowed deeply to Kakashi, "I want to contract your Eight Ninja Dog. I want to be someone who can help everyone, but I'm not strong enough, and my medical ninjutsu isn't good enough either. But I really don't want to be useless! The boss said that Kakashi's Eight Ninja Dog has a strong tracking ability, so I want to contract it and make a difference! So please, Kakashi-sensei!"

The three members of Class 7 were all surprised when they saw this.

Sasuke nodded imperceptibly. He remembered Kato Megumi, who had once been a member of his support group, but after being assigned to Team 9, she not only found love but also became stronger. The most commendable thing was that Kato Megumi had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary, and she wanted to be a useful person and worked hard to achieve it.

This is much better than Sakura from their Class 7!

Sakura also clenched her fists at this time and looked at Kato Megumi deeply.

She used to be the top scorer in written tests in the class, and her performance in outdoor classes was also good, so perhaps she didn't take Kato Megumi seriously.

However, after becoming a formal ninja (Ma Zhao Zhao), Kato Megumi's growth is obviously faster than hers. Not only has her strength improved, she has also learned medical ninjutsu, and now she is planning to contract Kakashi's ninja dog. It must be said that Kato Megumi is really excellent, not only in action, but also in spirit.

In comparison, Haruno Sakura seems useless.

When encountering danger, Sasuke and Naruto always take the lead. She just watches stupidly and can't help at all. Even if Sasuke and Naruto are injured, she will just bandage them simply.
