Thanks

Chapter 103: Thanks?

Inside the Hokage's office,

Uzumaki Kushina exploded into a cloud of white mist with a bang.

The Third Hokage watched the white

mist dissipate with a wry smile, saying with lingering fear, "A shadow

clone? I was almost about to be pulled out by Kushina. However, at least I

persuaded Kushina to accept the Chunin qualification retention result. Speaking

of which, this is the first time I have seen Kushina care so much about others;

she has become a good teacher."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, the

Third Hokage looked at the empty Hokage office and frowned.

He had some headaches, but they

were caused by his three proud disciples: Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

After the end of the Chunin exam

and before the announcement of the exam results, the three of them almost

quarreled. They all wanted to accept Kiba as a disciple. After arguing for a

while, they finally threw the problem to him.

"For Kiba, should Jiraiya

teach him, or someone else? Jiraiya taught elite ninjas like Minato, which is

very good for teaching apprentices. But Orochimaru seems to be good; he doesn't

like accepting apprentices. This is the first time I have seen him so

enthusiastic about it. With his talent, he might be able to teach a great

apprentice. In Tsunade's case, Kiba's explosive strength seems similar to her

strange power. Although I don't know where he learned it, maybe he has a talent

for it, and it seems good to hand him over to Tsunade," the Third Hokage

murmured.

Alas, there is no easy choice!

Kiba's talent is exceptional; it

has not yet been refined but shines like a pearl. It is too precious.

Because it is so precious, the

Third Hokage is a little hesitant. After all, such a talent can easily give

birth to a formidable ninja.

He even had another thought in his

mind.

"First and Second Hokage, can

you imagine that such a genius was born in our village. If he were born in your

era, what would you do? Would you... teach him personally?" The Third

Hokage took a long breath from his pipe and let it out.

"Almost forgot... Eight Inner

Gates Formation, this child, has he been able to open the four gates? Did this

child get the lost scroll of the Eight Inner Gates Formation forbidden

technique? And he is already able to open the four gates. This child's talent

in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and combat wisdom is too perfect." The Third Hokage

breathed out the smoke, then sat up straight, and called out,

"Homura."

The door was pushed open in

response, and Homura Mitokado walked in and said, "What's the matter,

Third Hokage-sama?"

"Help me call Jiraiya and the

others over," the Third Hokage said.

"Yes!" Homura nodded in

response.

At this time, Kiba, Hirohiko, and

Yukina had already entered the village. Hirohiko and Yukina went their separate

ways home.

Kiba also planned to go home to

rest, but after walking a few steps, he felt his stomach growling. Feeling

hungry, Kiba couldn't move another step.

Coincidentally, he was outside the

door of Ichiraku Ramen, so he plunged right in.

"Oh! Kiba!" Teuchi, the

owner of Ichiraku Ramen, was crossing his arms and watching customers eat

noodles with a satisfied smile. When he saw Kiba walking in, he grinned and

said, "What kind of ramen do you want?"

"Extra-large tonkotsu

ramen!" Seeing Teuchi, Kiba also smiled and said.

Then he sat in the last vacant

seat. He had counted the money on him, which was just enough for a bowl of

extra-large tonkotsu ramen.

No matter in the previous life or

now, once you are hungry, you don't care about the consequences.

After Kiba ordered the ramen, he

regretted it. This was all the money he had. After this meal, he didn't know

where the next one would come from. There was still dinner to eat today...

"Okay!" Teuchi replied,

then turned around to work.

"Kiba?" At this time,

the customer next to him turned his face, looking at Kiba with a bit of

surprise.

Kiba looked around suspiciously

and saw the guests were the trio of idiots, Kanno Satoru, Aso Sasuke, and

Kusunoki Katsuki.

What a coincidence...

The corner of Kiba's mouth

twitched, barely revealing a smile.

These guys... I can't handle these three.

"You come to eat ramen too?

The ramen here is the best!" Kanno Satoru gave Kiba a thumbs up with a

small piece of ramen on the side of his mouth.

"Well, it's really

delicious." Kiba nodded, not knowing what to say.

The little piece of ramen at the

corner of Kanno's mouth made him unsure whether to agree with him or not.

Kiba feared Kanno would pull out

some stupid logic. When explaining tactics to him, Kiba's mind went blank, and

he forgot the tactics. What a terrible stupid logic this is!

But let's not talk about it... The

little piece of ramen sticking to the mouth was uncomfortable.

Immediately, Kiba became

entangled.

"The Chunin Exam, thank you,

and the Sannin did too much this time. It was too unfair to you!" Kanno

patted Kiba on the shoulder. Although he was much older than Kiba, he seemed to

regard Kiba as a peer.

Thinking of the Chunin Exam, Kanno

was also dissatisfied and couldn't help complaining.

Looking at Kanno's serious

expression of thanks and the grateful eyes of Aso Sasuke and Kusunoki Katsuki,

Kiba was taken aback. He did not expect this result. He felt a little

embarrassed. He had treated them as pawns, coaxed them to hand over victory and

defeat to them, arousing their honest determination and blood. He completely

calculated them.

But he didn't expect them to thank

him so much. It was unexpected.

Generally, they would be furious!

"If it weren't for your

trust, we would never have known we could defeat a ninja with excellent grades

like Shirakawa. Thanks to you, we found our strengths and are planning to go to

special training!" Kanno said, the ramen on his face swaying. He spoke

seriously, but the ramen ruined the seriousness; it was a bit funny...

But Kiba couldn't laugh. He

hesitated whether to tell them the truth; these guys obviously hadn't figured

out the situation yet.

At this time, Kanno stood up and

said, "Thank you. As a thank you, let me treat you to this ramen!"

As he said that, Kanno put a

banknote on the table and said to Teuchi, "Boss, I've got Kiba's

ramen."

Aso Sasuke and Kusunoki Katsuki

also stood up.

They're completely talking to themselves... don't

give me a chance to speak at all...

At this moment, Kanno and the

others were about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Kiba

quickly called to stop them.

"What's the matter?" The

three of them looked over together, their eyes burning, obviously full of

fighting spirit and ready for special training.

"It's nothing, thank you for

the ramen, let's work hard on the special training!"

In the end, Kiba decided not to

tell the truth...

Hearing Kiba's words, the three of

them nodded heavily and then walked out of Ichiraku Ramen.

Kiba, what a nice person! He's obviously a genius,

but he still cares so much about us...

The three walked out of Ichiraku

Ramen, looking at each other with tears of gratitude in their eyes.

"We have to work

harder!"

"Yeah!"

The three looked at each other,

nodded heavily, then left and went to the special training.

Watching their backs full of

fighting spirit, Kiba suddenly smiled.

If I didn't have the ultra-fine chakra control

ability and ninjutsu talent from the crossing, maybe, I might be similar to

them.

Come on, three idiots..
