Chapter 142 The wildly popular "Ninja Abin's School Life"; The Little Fire Dragon that shook everyone in the examination hall.
As a long-established ramen shop owner in Konoha, he was very familiar with Tsunade.
"yes!"
Tsunade sat down with a hearty laugh and said, "Two bowls of Ichiraku Ramen, please. We just got back to Konoha and need something to fill our stomachs."
"No problem, just a moment."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Teji immediately stopped what he was doing and hurriedly went to prepare for Tsunade.
"Huh? Where's the calamus?"
Shizune, who was sitting there, looked at the man busily working and exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Handyman, where's your daughter? Why can't I see her?"
Ichiraku Ramen is run by hand-beaten ramen makers and irises.
It was quite rare that she didn't see any calamus.
"Changpu, she opened a new snail rice noodle shop on another street."
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Teda immediately laughed heartily, "Because snail rice noodles are so popular, eating them in ramen shops drives away some people who don't like them, and they even confuse the taste with Ichiraku Ramen, so we opened a new snail rice noodle shop."
"If you want to eat snail rice noodles, you can go to Ayame's shop. I just sell Ichiraku Ramen here."
"I see."
Upon hearing the words "handwritten," Shizune immediately understood.
indeed.
When she first came to eat at Ichiraku Ramen, the ramen smelled like snail rice noodles everywhere, which left her feeling helpless.
Although I tried snail rice noodles later, I found that they were really delicious.
"Has anything happened in Konoha recently?"
Tsunade, while eating ramen with gusto, asked, "I just got back and noticed the atmosphere in the village is very tense, and it seems to be more than just about the Chunin Exams."
"Um."
Hearing Tsunade's words, Techi nodded and said, "Well, there's been a lot going on in Konoha lately."
"I overheard the ninjas eating noodles talking about how the Konoha ANBU base was destroyed a while ago, and no one knows who did it."
"Even a high-ranking advisor from Konoha was injured in the process."
"By the way, there was a strong explosion a few nights ago. It was quite a big explosion, and many Anbu ninjas were mobilized. They searched until today's Chunin Exams, but they didn't find anything."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow as she listened to the information she had heard over the past few days.
A high-ranking advisor in Konoha was injured?
All things considered, Konoha doesn't have many high-level advisors.
"Today is the Chunin Exams, I wonder what it will be like."
"The Chunin Exams are different every year, and most people keep quiet about them."
"The current Chunin Exams are all preliminary selections; the real competition will be held some time later."
"I'm not interested in the Chunin Exams right now. By the way, did you know? There's been a huge hit book these past few days called 'Ninja Bin's School Life.' It's incredibly popular. My goodness, I don't even know who the author is, but they managed to write such a masterpiece."
At this moment, someone walked into the ramen shop, sat down, ordered ramen by hand, and chatted with their companion.
Tsunade and Shizune listened to the news while eating ramen.
"Oh no, today is my turn to open the jar."
At this moment.
the other side.
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly jumped out of bed.
Looking at the bright sun outside, his face turned green: "But today is the Chunin Exams, I can't be late."
The Chunin Exams are of utmost importance; being late means certain death.
"Go to the exam venue first, and open the jar after the exam."
Thinking about the current time, Naruto hurriedly got up, quickly grabbed the little dragon next to him, and ran out the door, heading straight for the Chunin Exams location.
"Sigh, I should have gotten up earlier."
"If I get up earlier, I can still open all the cans."
"And now look what's happened."
Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself, filled with regret.
While Naruto was frantically rushing forward, on the other side...
Jar Shop.
Lin Mo came downstairs feeling refreshed, opened the door, looked at the sun outside, and had a lazy expression on his face.
"Let's go out and get some snail rice noodles."
Lin Mo closed the door behind him and headed toward Changpu's snail rice noodle shop.
Good morning, Lin Mo.
Upon seeing Lin Mo arrive, Changpu, who was busy wiping the table, suddenly looked delighted and quickly asked, "Would you like a bowl of snail rice noodles?"
"Isn't snail rice noodles very popular? How come your shop doesn't have many customers?"
Lin Mo looked at Changpu's snail rice noodle shop, which was completely empty except for a few scattered leftovers on the tables, and his expression was one of surprise.
It's not too early yet; there should be many people eating snail rice noodles in Changpu.
"I just opened the door too."
Changpu shook her head and said, "I was too busy last night. I just opened the door and finished tidying up the table. I'm sorry."
As she spoke, Changpu said with an embarrassed expression, "I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to open any jars at your place."
"fine."
Hearing what Changpu said, Lin Mo shook his head, not paying much attention.
Fewer people have come to his shop to open jars these past few days.
After Tian Tian opened the jar, none of Tian Tian's parents opened any more jars.
I learned from Tiantian that her parents didn't have time to be with her.
Just as a person's hands are busy, so too are those of the calamus.
In addition, with the Anbu ninjas constantly patrolling these past few days, more and more people from other villages have poured into Konoha. There are seven or eight ninjas on this one street alone.
As for Rock Lee, Might Guy, and the others, they didn't come back to open the cans.
Clearly, Lin Mo didn't believe they didn't want to come.
They didn't have the money to come.
One million ryo a week is not a small sum for a Jonin of Konoha.
Especially since there are at least four weeks in a month, that would require four million taels.
Whether it was Kakashi or Might Guy, they were all poor.
As for Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga, there's no need to mention them.
How could an ordinary ninja possibly have the money to open cans every week?
This is the norm.
So Lin Mo didn't feel anything these past few days.
The only feeling was that the magical power he had accumulated over the past week was increasing.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
At this moment, Changpu had already brought the snail rice noodles to Lin Mo.
Then she sat down with a bowl of her own, smiling, and said, "I haven't eaten either, so let's eat together."
"Hello, three bowls of snail rice noodles, please."
Just then, a few people walked in, and Changpu quickly stood up: "Okay, just a moment."
As she spoke, Changpu hurriedly went inside to get busy.
"By the way, have you guys read the book 'Ninja Bin's School Life'? It's really exciting! I wonder who this teacher, Aka, is."
"Damn, don't even mention that, I can't even buy this book, it's sold out."
"The book that sold out before was 'Make-Out Paradise,' but now that this book is out, wow, nobody wants 'Make-Out Paradise.' I can still buy it at the bookstore now."
"The limited edition books have changed now, but this stuff is really great."
The group sat down and began to chat.
His words contained excitement, regret, and even a sigh.
Obviously, not everyone has the opportunity to see this kind of book.
Lin Mo: "."
Hearing these words, Lin Mo was speechless.
Unsurprisingly, this was definitely the work of that repressed pervert Kakashi.
I must say, this book is truly amazing.
In the past few days, he has occasionally gone out to eat, and each time he has heard the name of this book.
This book is the medium for communication, whether for ordinary people or ninjas.
Lin Mo was very curious about how Kakashi managed to modify already incomplete books, making them even more incomplete, and then gradually put them into bookstores for sale.
Lin Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He wasn't interested in that at all.
It turns out that Naruto Uzumaki was the one who opened the can today.
However, with the Chunin Exams today, I probably won't have time to open the can.
Because immediately after the first competition, there will be several days of exams in the Death Forest.
The first and second rounds of the Chunin Exams were not made public.
Only the third stage is public.
If Lin Mo remembers correctly.
Even the competition after the Death Forest, which was the third preliminary round, was not open to the public.
The purpose of this competition is to reduce the number of participants in order to select suitable candidates to enter the third official final.
This preliminary tournament was held in a closed indoor room in Konoha Village, with only the contestants, proctors, high-ranking members of the ninja village, some teammates, and important figures present to watch.
This match will not be open to the public and will not have a large audience.
This is also to make the competition process more concise and efficient, and at the same time, to select the strongest ninja to participate in the third open final.
The third official Chunin Exam final was open to the public, attracting spectators including daimyo, villagers, and representatives from ninja villages from various countries.
So, probably not many people will come to open the cans this week.
Those who come to open the jars are only those who did not participate in the Chunin Exams.
That is, Hyuga Hanabi, Hyuga Hiashi, and others.
This also means I'll have to buy a few fewer jars this week.
It seems like the next personalized jar is a bit further away.
But as long as he gets through the preliminary round of the third Chunin Exam, he can get his own special jar during the official tournament!
The second exclusive jar will definitely be obtained in the third official Chunin Exam final.
As Lin Mo was thinking this.
The entrance to the Chunin Exams venue.
Sakura Haruno and Sasuke's expressions softened when they saw Naruto Uzumaki carrying the little fire dragon.
"Naruto, you've finally arrived!"
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki approaching, Sakura Haruno gritted her teeth: "I came all this way, but you didn't show up. I thought you'd given up."
I finally convinced myself last night to participate in the Chunin Exams.
When I arrived this morning, I found that Naruto Uzumaki wasn't there.
"Sorry, I trained for too long last night."
Naruto sighed, "That's why I woke up late today."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned serious.
As expected, Naruto kept trying.
The little dragon, held by Naruto, glanced sideways at Naruto.
Doesn't it know whether Naruto Uzumaki trained last night?
The three of them then headed toward the ninja academy's meeting place.
The Ninja Academy was vacated because of the Chunin Exams.
However, as soon as I walked in, I saw a group of people gathered around a certain place.
That place was clearly the entrance and exit.
As Naruto and his two companions approached, they could see a boy sitting on the ground, looking somewhat disheveled as he stared at the two ninjas blocking his way.
He appeared to have been beaten and was sitting on the ground.
"Huh?"
Upon seeing a familiar face, Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened suddenly.
Isn't that the girl I used to see often when I opened jars at the shop owner's place?
"What's wrong, Naruto?"
Noticing Naruto's gaze, Sakura and Sasuke looked over curiously.
I saw Tiantian in an instant.
"So strong."
Upon seeing Tenten standing in the crowd, Sasuke Uchiha's pupils constricted sharply, and his Sharingan instinctively surfaced, revealing a massive amount of chakra within her.
Is this guy really a test taker?
Seeing Naruto and the others every day, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Isn't that guy?
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno next to her, she immediately felt how weak they were, which made her lose all motivation.
The only thing that could attract her was the little fire dragon spirit that followed the three of them.
Not only Tenten noticed, but people around were also astonished to see Naruto Uzumaki arriving with the little fire dragon.
"Is that a candidate also taking the exam?"
"Of course, he doesn't look very old, he's just a child."
"Judging from their headbands, they're Konoha genin. But come to think of it, do Konoha genin already know summoning jutsu?"
"My goodness, what kind of summoned beast is that? It's been following me around the whole time, and it has a ball of fire on its tail. It seems pretty strong."
"Are they crazy? They haven't even taken the exam yet, and they're already summoning a summoning beast to follow them around? That's such a waste of chakra."
When everyone saw the little fire dragon next to Naruto Uzumaki, their eyes widened in surprise.
These days, ninjas with summoning beasts are a rare sight.
And it's a powerful summoning beast!
Furthermore, to summon a spirit beast, you need to make an agreement with it and fulfill its requests in order to get its help.
Summoning beasts also dislike staying in the outside ninja world.
Generally, after helping the contracted ninja, they would immediately undo the summoning jutsu and leave.
But what do they see now?
Did you see a strange creature with a fire-breathing tail that stayed next to a child?
Is this the child's summoned beast?
"It shouldn't be his summoned beast."
"Bullshit! If it weren't his summoned beast, why would it stay so obediently by his side?"
"If it were someone else's summoned beast, there would be no reason for it to follow. Even if it did, it shouldn't be such a strange creature. Look at the flames coming out of its tail; this is definitely not an ordinary summoned beast."
While one person after another was paying attention to Charmander and discussing him.
The two Chunin blocking the door narrowed their eyes and stared at the little fire dragon.
Even they did not sign a contract with the summoned beast.
Seeing the change in the atmosphere, he coughed and said coldly, "I'll say it again: those who are weak are not worthy of participating in the Chunin Exams. We failed three times."
"If you want to participate in the Chunin Exams, then defeat us. Only then will you be qualified to participate."
"We're doing this for your own good."
"Damn it, this is too much!"
"I came to participate in the Chunin Exams, and I was rejected before I even got into the venue?"
"Where are the people in charge of managing Konoha? Why aren't they coming out yet? Are they even going to let us in for the exam?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately shifted their gaze away from the little fire dragon and looked at the two guys blocking the door with grim expressions.
The Chunin Exams were right behind these two guys' back door, but they blocked the entrance and wouldn't let them in.
Many people were furious.
However, their previous actions have deterred some of them from making any rash moves.
If they get injured while participating in the Chunin Exams, it will be troublesome.
"So that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's face showed a look of understanding.
"Let's untie this illusion."
The next second, Sasuke Uchiha looked coldly at the two ninjas blocking the door and said, "We're going to the third floor. You don't think there are no loopholes in your genjutsu setup, do you? There's chakra leaking everywhere; it's full of holes!"
"The second floor?"
"Illusion?"
Everyone present was astonished upon hearing this.
"Not bad, they can recognize illusions, unlike those idiots before."
One of the ninjas blocking the door nodded, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, simply seeing through the illusion isn't enough!"
As he spoke, he suddenly charged towards Uchiha Sasuke, his hands brimming with dense chakra, clearly intending to knock Sasuke to the ground with a single blow.
"Are you furious?"
Upon seeing the guy who suddenly attacked, Sasuke instinctively took a step back. His red pupils flashed, and his three-tomoe Sharingan appeared, quickly capturing the trajectory of his opponent's movements.
"Whoosh!"
Before Uchiha Sasuke could make a move, a figure appeared between Sasuke and the ninja at an even faster speed.
Then came a loud "bang".
Before the ninja could even touch Sasuke's clothes, he was struck by a powerful force and sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall with a thud.
"That speed?!"
Sasuke looked surprised as he felt the terrifying speed.
His Sharingan failed to detect it.
"Good, very strong."
Sakura Haruno's eyes widened as she saw Rock Lee appear.
Isn't this the guy who just got beaten down?
How can he still maintain such speed?
"This guy probably opened the can too."
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki, seeing Rock Lee suddenly make his move, subconsciously glanced at Tenten, then at Rock Lee again, and suddenly realized what was going on.
Judging from their appearance, these two belong to the same squad.
So, if someone who's always by Mr. Lin Mo's side has opened cans before, there's no reason why this incredibly fast guy hasn't opened cans before.
Those around them stared wide-eyed at the sight.
Does this guy who was just knocked down have that kind of strength?
"Ugh, really."
Tian Tian, watching this scene, rubbed her temples.
As expected, the plan failed.
Rock Lee, who had made the move, strode up to Sakura Haruno and, as if injected with adrenaline, stretched out his right hand, saying with utmost seriousness, "Miss Sakura Haruno, my name is Rock Lee. Please go out with me!"
"I will protect you with my life!"
