Conspiracy

In Hokage's office, Kakashi stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk."Lord Hokage, this is a detailed report on this mission.""The task was completed much faster than I expected."Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the mission record handed over by Kakashi while smoking a cigarette.Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly and read the report carefully, and after a while he murmured: "I sensed the danger immediately, and noticed the other party's intention to fake death to escape, and decisively took action to solve the trouble."Kakashi observed Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and asked tentatively: "What do you think of Naruto's performance, Hokage-sama?""Judging from the results alone, Naruto's judgment was not only faultless, but his on-the-spot reaction also minimized possible risks." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly blew out a smoke ring, "This quality is worth boasting about in anyone. But he is Naruto.""During the entire mission, Naruto did not show any strong emotional fluctuations, and Nine Tails showed no signs of breaking through the seal. From my personal point of view, Naruto did this entirely on his own strength." Kakashi gave his evaluation."Not as a Jinchūriki, but simply live as an excellent ninja?" Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself, then remembered something and said to Kakashi: "Although Naruto's performance is very impressive, don't neglect it. and received the teachings of the other two."Kakashi smiled bitterly. It was not that he was negligent, but that Naruto had basically conquered all the enemies, and little Sakura and Sasuke had basically no chance to take action."I am aware of this issue. I will adjust the focus of my training in the future. Also, regarding my agreement with Naruto's proposal to pay twice the reward for B-level missions in the future, is there any problem with Mr. Hokage?"Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the supplementary contract signed by Dazuna attached to the end of the mission record. He answered this question simply."Although it is against the rules to sign a supplementary contract to increase the reward in the middle of the mission, after all, the other party concealed the difficulty of the mission first.It is signed with the consent of both parties.There is no problem.I will ask them to strengthen the review of the mission later."After receiving an affirmative answer, Kakashi picked up the purse containing the reward on the table and was about to leave. Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and stopped him and asked."The Chūnin exam will be held soon, what do you think?"Kakashi thought for a moment and replied: "Taking the team as a unit, there is no doubt that Class 7 has the level to participate in the Chūnin exam. However, when it comes to individual abilities, it is slightly lacking, but I still prefer to let them try."Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly."I will summon you later to formally determine the applicants, and then give me a definite answer."...Because Naruto used the power loan the day before, he forcibly borrowed and extracted today's Reiatsu. Therefore, except for the remaining trace of Reiatsu, no new Reiatsu will be produced during the whole day of Knot and Soul Sleep today.Kakashi handed the three divided rewards into the hands of three people respectively.The reward that Naruto received was more visible to the naked eye than that of Sasuke and little Sakura.For this reason, Kakashi specifically explained: "I distribute the rewards based on your performance in the task, so those who contribute more will receive a greater proportion of the rewards. Do you have any questions about this?"Hearing what Kakashi said, little Sakura and Sasuke recalled Naruto's performance during the mission, and naturally they had no objections and shook their heads in denial.It's just that Sasuke became more and more dissatisfied with his incompetence and tightened his grip on the money bag in his hand."Since you don't have any problems, we will disband early today and take a day off." Kakashi clapped his hands and said.Naruto raised his hand in time and asked: "Speaking of which, does Kakashi-sensei have a familiar blacksmith shop?"Hearing Naruto's question, Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why are you looking for a blacksmith?""I want to make a knife of my own. A knife can be considered a type of ninja tool, so it shouldn't be a violation, right?"Kakashi continued to ask with some confusion: "That's true. Knives are considered a type of ninja tool. Why do you want to buy a knife?"Naruto shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm not buying a knife, I hope to forge one myself."Kakashi scratched his head speechlessly and forged a ninja sword by himself? He couldn't keep up with Naruto's thinking at first. Could it be that he saw Zabuza's decapitating sword and wanted to imitate it?In fact, being open and honest can be regarded as one of Naruto's schemes. The creation of Zanpakutō is destined to cause a big stir. Instead of hiding and secretly building it and being suspected by others, it is better to tell everyone frankly that he has built this sword.Anyway, they can't understand Zanpakutō. Even if they watch it, they can't sense Reiatsu and the others, and they will just treat it as an ordinary forged sword.In this way, the Zanpakutō forged by Naruto is known to everyone and can be used openly.Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Naruto continued to explain: "I just wanted to experience it on a whim. If I can't handle it well, just let the blacksmith take over. Kakashi-sensei is Jōnin. If you can help me understand, I should be able to get one." A relatively good price?""Okay, I'll help you find out, and I'll let you know if I have any news."Kakashi muttered about the blacksmith and was about to leave.He seemed to have thought of something and added, "Although the size of the decapitation sword may look very big to you.Personality, but I personally don't recommend carrying such a conspicuous tool, as it can easily reveal your identity."After saying that, he disappeared from the sight of the three of them. After Sasuke took a deep look at Naruto, he left alone for special training."Stop hiding Konohamaru, I found you." Naruto sensed the Reiatsu of Konohamaru three people early."Damn it, you are worthy of being a big brother! But look at my move!" The Konohamaru trio took off their disguises, took out homemade firecrackers from their arms, and threw them at Naruto.Naruto simply took a half step back, and firecrackers exploded in front of little Sakura.Although this thing is not very powerful, it blew up little Sakura into a big black face and her hair was all messed up.And Konohamaru's attention was all on Naruto. Seeing that he easily escaped the sneak attack, he couldn't help but admired: "As expected of the big brother I follow, he was able to defeat it so easily. Sure enough, he is not like this one with a protruding forehead. I can bear to compare!""Who do you think has a protruding forehead?"Konohamaru's words accurately hit little Sakura's minefield, and little Sakura instantly turned into a tigress and wanted to teach the three of them a lesson."Ah, run away Konohamaru!"The three of them didn't forget to look back and taunt them as they ran away."A ninja of your caliber cannot catch me, Konohamaru!"
