Chapter 338 The Harvest of Staying

Including Hagoromo, the Hokage gathered two or three big cats and kittens to reminisce. Kakashi, who wrote the (death) wheel (fish) eye, had already led his seventh team to open up wasteland in the land of waves. .

Generally speaking, a small maritime country like the Land of Waves is located between the forces of Konoha and Kirigakure. It is closer to the Land of Fire in terms of distance, but if it is really easier to reach out to it, it is actually Kirigakure. hidden.

After losing the maritime fulcrum of the Country of Whirlpool, Konoha has given up on fighting for the sphere of influence on the sea in terms of overall strategy. Especially after the three ninja wars, Konoha's strength has declined. This strategy has become even more evident. To be clear, such "concession" can undoubtedly improve the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure. Even if there is a little friction, it will not affect the overall situation.

The purpose of Kakashi's mission this time is to protect a bridge engineer from the Kingdom of Waves and ensure that he is safe from harm when building the bridge from the Kingdom of Waves to the outside world.

This bridge is of great significance to the country. After changing the country's traffic congestion, the impoverished state of the island nation will also be improved.

However, this is undoubtedly a move to break the balance. The man behind the scenes who controls the economic lifeline of this country is not willing to see this situation happen... In fact, the man behind the scenes is so stupid that he has not considered waiting for the construction of this bridge. After that, it is actually better to make money by collecting bridge tolls.

In that case, his economic control over the country will not decrease, but will increase...

Because of this situation, Kakashi Ban inevitably had a conflict with the mastermind and the Kirigakure ninjas he hired, but the final result ended with Team 7's victory.

And winning this victory is not that difficult. In fact, Kakashi doesn't even have many chances to take action, because the enemy is just a chuunin team, and as for the enemy's samurai legion's combat power, it is completely sufficient. Ignore it - the truly powerful samurai in this world are just ninjas wearing samurai skins. The combat effectiveness of combat units that cannot use chakra is about the same as kelp.

Originally, the first enemy Momochi Zabuza who was supposed to appear here to give Kakashi a 50-5 kill did not appear... This is normal. Now he is still working for Terumi Mei in Kirigakure. As for my little brother, I don’t have time to engage in such a series of complicated activities.

In Hagoromo's story, Zabuza has been Terumi Mei's younger brother since he was a kid who just graduated from the ninja school. After Yu sister became Mizukage first and implemented a relatively enlightened policy, he was still willing to do Little brother.

After all, Uchiha Obito didn't mess around in Kirigakure, and the situation in this village was much better than before. Even after Kimimaro was abducted by Hagoromo, the Taketori clan was gradually calmed down.

When the enemy was only a chuunin, Kakashi was finally more than 80% sure before the fight started... In terms of strength, Naruto, who had been trained in various ways since childhood, had no big problem against a chuunin. However, he had little actual combat experience, so the battles continued to come and go.

Naruto rubbed balls for the first time in actual combat, and fell in love with the feeling of spinning and jumping with his eyes closed.

In the end, Kakashi Ban eliminated Kirigakure's ninjas, and also solved the shady plot of the Land of Waves, completing this mission perfectly.

The first actual battle of Team 7 was a bit like Naruto's personal performance. Haruno Sakura was as good as ever, and although Uchiha Sasuke was able to display considerable combat power, he had no Naruto due to his natural facial paralysis. People are so brilliant, and the gap is reflected in this way.

Even Sasuke hasn't realized that his Sharingan has actually been opened on the night of the genocide... Although Kakashi has always advocated practicing slowly, Sasuke's problems are big enough now, and Kakashi has Cassie obviously hasn't paid enough attention to this, nor has she realized that it's not something that can improve over time.

For Sasuke, even the graduates of the same period cannot surpass him, so why should he kill Uchiha Itachi?

Born in the Uchiha clan, Sasuke doesn't feel there is any gap between his talent and Naruto's. If there is a gap, it should be the other way around. So why does this result occur?

He easily found an obvious reason - Naruto had a powerful ninja who had been teaching him ninjutsu, but he didn't.

Sasuke's idea is not far-fetched, and he is even right. There is an essential difference between being taught by someone and being taught by someone who is not. Not to mention Hagoromo, even if Kakashi taught ninjutsu strictly and conscientiously, Sasuke's strength would be able to improve by leaps and bounds. However, the problem is that the "natural growth" advocated by Kakashi actually feels a bit like "freezing".

This is undoubtedly an extremely inappropriate method for Sasuke, who is looking forward to a rapid increase in his strength, so he urgently needs someone who can teach him to become stronger.

After Team 7 returned from the mission to the Land of Waves, Naruto felt refreshed, and Sasuke also gained something, but this gain was more of a psychological construction, and it also developed in a somewhat extreme direction.

After this task was completed, the Chuunin Exams were officially launched, and Genin from other villages began to enter Konoha one after another.

Not to mention that Naruto knew that there was such a maneuver after the upgrade exam, during this period, he had some new daily activities in the future... squatting at the gate of Konoha.

And they squatted very seriously - the three of them directly moved a table and placed it next to the "village registration". Those who didn't know better thought that these three were official staff.

These three people didn't fill in any trouble, they just looked at it, so the real working ninjas couldn't drive away these few... It was best not to drive away the Yondaime's daughter for no reason.

"Future, what's the point of us staying here?" Mirai's behavior made Kimimaro, who was paralyzed in the sixth class, a little confused.

"Observe in advance and collect information about future enemies. It might come in handy at a critical moment." When answering this sentence, Mirai's eyes did not leave the door.

Shiro gave Kimimaro a look that said, "You are the only one with too many things to do." She wanted to squat here and stay with him.

"But... do enemies at the genin level need to be so cautious, and this is just an exam..." Kimimaro was confused because he felt that such caution was not in line with Mirai's character.

This is not to say that they despise their opponents too much. Ninjas should be cautious when facing any enemy, but the problem is that they cannot be cautious to this extent.

"Who said genin?" Unexpectedly, the focus of future attention was completely different from what Kimimaro thought. "I said that the targets of collecting intelligence are the leading jounin from different villages, not the genin following them... …”

"A jounin who can take on such a task must be extraordinary, so it's certainly worth observing."

Well, Kimimaro has become a Spartan. In the future, he will not collect information just to antagonize other people's genin, but to better antagonize other people's jounin when necessary, so he takes the current action—— He accepted this theory.

He is truly worthy of being the disciple handed over by Yuyi, and his vision is really high.

Of course, not all genin are unworthy of attention. In other words, any genin worth paying attention to is definitely more extraordinary.

For example, the moment the Sunagakure delegation appeared, the gourd boy in their team instantly made Mirai squint his eyes imitating Hagoromo... The red hair was probably a family inheritance; the panda eyes were probably used to show off. His rarity; the earth gourd is used to show his full personality; the tattoo on his forehead and the silent eyes show that he is a little rebellious and a little crazy.

All in all, things are getting better, and Hagoromo can play a big game again.
