Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, I, Naruto, have the final say

Page 125

After observing for a few days and confirming that Naruto was fine, the days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Hokage Office Building——

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke..."

"In the joint war against the Sand Village and the Sound Village, you two made great contributions to Konoha. In addition to showing extraordinary strength, you also showed the qualities and good character of a ninja."

"For this reason, I, in the name of Hokage, grant you the qualification of "Chunnin". "

Ah yes, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still Hokage.

Unlike the original story, after Konoha's major events were almost arranged, Lao Deng immediately called these three new generations.

The first thing he did was to offer Naruto and Sasuke the position of "Chunin".

Comes with a set of Konoha exclusive green vest.

"Alas, my Genin buff is gone," Naruto lamented, holding up his brand new green vest.

And I made up my mind not to wear clothes with such abnormal aesthetics.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored him and said to the last new generation warrior, Hyuga Neji: "Hyuga Neji, due to your excellent performance in the Chunin Exam, the village has decided to grant you the Chunin qualification as well."

Hyuga Neji was extremely serious and bowed politely: "I understand! Thank you for the trust of the village and Hokage!"

Oh yes, there are only three people in Konoha who were promoted from Genin to Chunin today.

Apart from Naruto and Sasuke, Hyuga Neji is the last one.

What, where is Nara Shikamaru from the original?

Poor kid, he didn't even get a chance to appear in the third Chunin Exam.

Since he couldn't show his abilities and intelligence, the village leaders naturally treated him as a lowly ninja - after all, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

And Naruto and Sasuke...

In terms of strength, it would be a pity if these two were not Chuunin.

As for Hyuga Neji, he is the kind of genius that fits everyone's psychological cognition. If it were during the war, with Neji's strength, he would have exchanged his military exploits for the job of Jonin long ago.

In peacetime, it can only be upgraded slowly, and cannot be rushed.

"I always have a bad feeling."

Naruto muttered to himself while holding the new vest, and then he put the oil on his feet: "Old Deng, it's nothing, I'm leaving first!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared, "You can't leave!"

"The village is in ruins right now. As a Chunin in the village, I have an important mission to assign to you!"

I knew it!

There was a reason why Lao Deng promoted himself to Chunin. What Konoha Village lacks most now is manpower, and Chunin can do the tasks that Genin cannot do.

But Lao Deng still abides by the rules.

If it were Tsunade, no matter if you were a Genin or a Chunin, as long as you had the ability, B-rank and A-rank missions would be thrown directly in your face. How unreasonable!

"I still need to practice!" Naruto said in shock: "Is there no one left in Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very straightforward: "Yes, there is no one left!"

"The village is in trouble, and people outside the village are waiting to see Konoha's joke. Knowing that Konoha needs manpower, they deliberately give Konoha a large number of mission orders... Especially at times like this, Konoha must not be timid."

Naruto understood: "It's just a pretense."

In short, I have to take on the task with gritted teeth.

We must never let the outside world think that Konoha is weak.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the three of you on becoming Chunins. It just so happens that... there is a mission here that is suitable for Chunins to complete."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a mission scroll.

It looks like it has been prepared for a long time.

Naruto's result scroll: A-level mission, escorting the famous Fire Country actress Fuji Fuze Xuehui to the Snow Country for filming...

"I took it." Naruto said.

Chapter 151: Departure to the Snow Country

The Snow Country, right? I know that, I’m familiar with it!

I have watched the theater version.

Although this is the first theatrical version, the strength of the Snow Country villain boss is not very good, but who knows?

"A-level mission, yes."

Sasuke glanced at the mission level and said, "I hope to meet a worthy opponent."

He has a sense of being a ninja.

There is nothing we can do if completing tasks will delay our cultivation.

But actual combat is always necessary to test the results of practice, right?

Hyuga Neji said seriously: "Hokage-sama, does that mean that this mission requires the three of us to act together?"

He has witnessed the strength of Naruto and Sasuke.

There is a kind of beauty that is not in the same dimension.

The mission of escorting an actor was only upgraded to A-level because the client paid a lot of money.

Either Naruto or Sasuke can do the task.

Why put them together?

"I have already considered it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained, "The village is in urgent need of manpower right now. Your mentors, jonin Kakashi and Kai, are both out on missions, so you need to take over this A-rank mission."

“That’s just one of the reasons.”

As he spoke, he took out photos of the person being protected and the client.

They are the popular star of the Fire Nation and her agent.

"Their identities are not simple, and the purpose of issuing the mission is not simple either. In addition, in the previous war, Konoha caught a group of snow ninjas who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble..."

The Third Hokage spoke calmly: "In short, this is not just an escort mission, but also a warning to the Snow Country."

I see. So that’s why we want to bring these three new generation geniuses together?

No problem, Lao Deng, I will give you a surprise!

The Snow Country, right? I’ll overthrow your regime right now!

As the Hokage Lao Deng spoke, he took out a few more scrolls.

Hand it to three people respectively.

"This is a confidential mission issued by the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "It is tailor-made for the three of you. Each person's mission is different."

"The commissioned mission may fail, but the village's confidential mission must not fail!" His words were unusually serious.

After all, the three of them are no longer Genin, and it is time for them to get in touch with the adult world.

Naruto took out his mission scroll, read the contents, and couldn't hold it in any longer: "Oh my god, this is fucking interference in their internal affairs."

Only Naruto reacted a bit too much.

Sasuke used his Sharingan to note down the confidential mission without any change in his expression, and he didn't care at all about the consequences of this mission.

Neji's face changed, but he forced himself to keep a straight face and not speak, thinking to himself, is this the world of ninja? It's much more intense than playing house with the Genin.

"You're the only one who talks too much!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen chased Naruto out: "Get out of here, stop getting in my way, and remember to talk less and do more for me outside!"

------

After accepting the mission, the three of them left the Hokage Building.

Neji said to the two, "Excuse me, I have to report back to my clan first. Please meet at the gate of Konoha in two hours."

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets nonchalantly, "Sure."

Naruto took the opportunity to move over and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go together!"

Neji: "...Hinata-sama and Kurenai-sensei are out on a mission."

Naruto clapped his hands and said, "I suddenly remembered that my door is not locked. I'm leaving now!"

Sure enough, the yellow-haired guy was going after Miss Hinata.

However, Uzumaki Naruto's strength is quite good, and his potential is visibly high. If he can marry into the Hyuga clan...

The value of Konoha's largest clan can be improved again!

The three of them separated and walked away.

As soon as he returned to the outside of the detached house, Naruto frowned. He did not release the shadow clone today, but saw that the door of the neighbor's house was open.

Oh boy, who is that?

Who allowed you to move in? Did the owner agree?

He had apparently completely forgotten that he was not the owner of the building.

Naruto jumped up and came to the door.

His ears had picked up on the noise and he looked inside, only to see a lively figure walking through the living room, and Naruto saw that familiar red hair.

"Xianglin?" The yellow-haired man asked with a question mark on his head: "When did you come?"

Yes, the person living in the house is Xianglin.

Shouldn't she be hanging out with Tsunade?

"Naruto-kun, hello." When the girl who was happily tidying the furniture just now saw Naruto enter the house, her cheeks instantly blushed.

She stammered, "Yes, it was Teacher Tsunade who told me to settle down in Konoha... so I..."

Naruto asked, "So Tsunade-sama asked you to be my neighbor?"

Lao Deng?

Karin was stunned, but she had no intention of telling on him. She just whispered, "If Naruto-kun calls Lady Tsunade like that, she will be angry..."

She just complained quietly and continued, "Lady Tsunade said that someone would be greedy for my bloodline limit, so...she said that you should be responsible to the end."

"Being Naruto-kun's neighbor means there will be no danger..."

Ah, this reason makes sense.

But Tsunade can protect them personally. After all, the reputation of the Three Ninjas is there, who would dare to cause trouble?

Oh yeah, she's hemophobic.

"That's fine." Naruto said, "But I have to go on a mission recently, so it's safer for you to hang out with Tsunade."

Naruto doesn't plan to change his name.

Who made her punch me hard as soon as we met?

She is hemophobic, I don't believe she can beat me to death!

Naruto spoke while Karin listened quietly beside him, nodding occasionally.

He was also a little surprised: Is this girl so introverted?

Obviously, he is a very extroverted and wild character in the original book.

Perhaps it's a character that he developed naturally after working as a senior executive under Orochimaru for a long time.
