Chapter 248: Chunin Exam
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked tactfully, "I've heard from Kakashi about the source of your sword and those strange abilities. Can you tell Grandpa?"
Faced with the question, Naruto was a little hesitant for a moment.
Fortunately, Ajuramaru reminded him.
"It's okay to tell him if you want to know. After all, he is your backer in Konoha."
Hearing this, Naruto seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Those abilities were given to me by the god Ajuramaru."
"That legend is actually true?"
Although he had guessed it long ago, when he actually heard it, Sarutobi Hiruzen still couldn't suppress his excitement.
After all, gods do exist in this world.
Just like the god of death in the Shiki Fuujin, but no one has ever truly obtained the power of god. Unexpectedly, Naruto actually succeeded!
Not even the First Hokage had accomplished such a feat.
Maybe Naruto has the potential to be on par with or even surpass that person!
How could this not make him excited!
But he still hurriedly asked.
"So what's the price to pay to gain these abilities?"
"It does not need."
Naruto answered truthfully, but he didn't say it all.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was overwhelmed by joy, did not care. Instead, he smiled sincerely and reminded, "Don't expose this ability easily!"
Feeling the other party's kindness, Naruto nodded slightly.
"I understand."
Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen then continued.
"In a few days, the village will hold a Chunin selection exam with the Sand Village, and you will also participate. Naruto, I am looking forward to your performance."
……
After a brief conversation, he pushed the door and left with peace of mind.
Naruto was left alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed to practice again, and his consciousness once again entered the spiritual world.
But it's different from before.
This time, Ajuramaru stopped his training in an uncharacteristic way and reminded him, "Now that you have my approval, it is time for you to learn sword skills."
The voice just fell.
In Naruto's eyes.
A figure slowly walked out from the giant sword floating in the air.
She was wearing a loose plaid kimono, with cloud-like patterns on her forehead under her long fiery red hair.
Being stared at by that pair of clear and bright eyes, Naruto could clearly feel the other's tenderness, it was an indescribable feeling.
At this time, Ajuramaru introduced with some nostalgia, "This is my first sword master, named Tanjiro Kamado. He will guide you in practicing sword skills from now on."
"The first sword master?"
Naruto stood there and looked at the figure that was slowly walking towards him, his expression becoming more serious.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Tanjiro-senpai!"
Tanjiro nodded slightly and smiled gently, "I will use breathing techniques and sword skills. You can choose the one that suits you best."
While talking.
The sword was unsheathed, and blazing flames burst out from the blade, "Fire God Kagura - First Form - Round Dance!"
As the blade slashed forward.
A gorgeous arc of flames also came into view.
Followed by.
The various sword forms of the God of Fire Kagura also appeared in his sight, followed by the Breathing of Water, Breathing of Thunder, Breathing of Beasts...
Naruto was dazzled by what he saw.
Until the end, he resolutely made his choice, "Tanjiro-senpai, I beg you to teach me the God of Fire Kagura!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro smiled gently, walked forward, and began to personally teach Naruto how to breathe correctly.
The two of them began teaching in this space.
And Ajuramaru stood not far away and watched the show.
However, as he watched, he unconsciously shifted his gaze to the Nine-Tailed Fox that was bound and sealed not far away.
And it was just this one glance that made Nine-Tailed Fox's pupils shrink and its hair stand on end!
……
Silent all night.
The next day, Naruto, who had temporarily completed his mission, was about to go home and walk alone on the street when a little boy wearing goggles suddenly jumped out.
"Brother Naruto, do you think I look like you?"
Looking at the familiar goggles and scarf on Konohamaru, Naruto seemed to recall the past and couldn't help but smile.
“It really looks alike.”
Hearing this, Konohamaru smiled triumphantly, "How about you praise me and treat me to a barbecue?"
"It's a rare opportunity to have some time, and I haven't eaten yet, so let's go together." Naruto said as he relaxed his stiff body.
Konohamaru ran towards the street in front of him, not forgetting to turn around and urge him impatiently, "Barbecue is very popular recently, Naruto-sama, hurry up, or there will be no seats if you are late!"
But at this moment.
At the corner, he bumped into something and fell to the ground.
Until then.
Naruto only then saw that the people Konohamaru bumped into were clearly Genin wearing Sunagakure forehead protectors, a man and a woman. The man was wearing a black robe, his face was smeared with oil paint, and he was carrying an object wrapped in bandages on his back.
The woman had four small yellow pigtails on her head and carried a fan that was one meter long when closed.
When Ajuramaru saw this, he immediately recognized the identities of the two people. They were Kankuro and Temari from the Sand Village.
Seeing these two people means that the Chunin Exams are about to begin!
At the same time, Naruto has also confirmed the identity of the visitor. As expected, it is a Genin from the Sand Village who came to take part in the Chunin selection exam.
But before he could say anything.
Kankuro, dressed in a black robe, picked up Konohamaru with one hand and scolded him coldly, "It hurt just now, you little brat!"
Temari, who was standing by, saw this and reminded them.
"Stop it, or you'll get scolded."
But Kankuro didn't care at all, or rather, he glanced at Naruto not far away with confidence.
"The Genin of Konoha looks really weak. I'll just play with you guys for a bit before the troublesome guys get here."
This is naked provocation.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Naruto rushed forward without hesitation.
When Kankuro saw this, he immediately activated the chakra lines he had laid on the ground, but just when he thought he had succeeded.
Naruto leaped forward, dodging easily while holding the three-pronged kunai and pressing it against the opponent's neck from the side, saying coldly.
"Can you please let go of my hand?"
In an instant, the pupils of the two people present contracted violently. They did not expect that the other party could actually detect and avoid his chakra line.
This strangely shaped kunai was pressed against his neck.
Kankuro could only slowly put down the Konohamaru in his hand, and Naruto also retracted his kunai when he saw this.
