A convenience store opened in Naruto

Sakura didn't know that Ino had made up her mind to have a good talk with her after the show, but Sasuke's repeated insistence forced her to give up the idea of ​​persuading Sasuke to quit. Although she gave up the idea, she still paid attention to Sasuke's condition from time to time, ready to step forward and enlighten him if anything went wrong.

As for whether it works or not? Just give it a try. What if it works?

Although he was explaining the task information on the card, Pharmacist Kabuto still kept some of his attention on the people in front of him.

There are people who are in the organization but their hearts are elsewhere. Konoha is no longer the Konoha it used to be. It is crawling with termites that suck its blood, and Kabuto Yakushi is just one of them.

He participated in the Chunin Exam many times, not only to conceal his identity and avoid attracting too much attention, but also to collect information about the candidates to see if there were any suitable candidates to recruit.

This is also the purpose of participating in the Chunin Exam this time.

Among the younger generation of Konoha today, the people standing in front of him can be said to be representatives. Not only do each of them have strong talents, but they also have good backgrounds.

For Sakura, who has a slightly weaker talent, it depends on who she is compared with. She cannot compare with the people around her, but compared with others, she is more than enough.

Although Xiao Li has no family, his teacher Might Guy treats him as his own son and established a master-disciple relationship with him early on. Sometimes, the master-disciple relationship is no less than that between parents and relatives.

He has no background, but Mike does.

As a veteran jonin of Konoha, Mike Guy knows many of Konoha's high-ranking officials. Given his relationship with Rock Lee, he cannot just ignore it if anything happens to Rock Lee.

On the other hand, isn't this also Xiao Li's background?

The people in front of him were all the ones that Pharmacist Dou wanted to recruit. If possible, he would like to pack up all of them and take them away.

Although this was just his fantasy.

Why would you go with him down this narrow path with no end in sight instead of taking the broad road?

The only people he could take away were those who wanted to leave the village.

He noticed the change in Sasuke, and Kabuto Yakushi just smiled in his heart and continued to explain the characters on the cards.

There is no rush for recruitment, there has to be a right time.

"Besides the people I mentioned above, this one is the one I think deserves the most attention."

The finger pointed to the last card, and everyone focused their eyes on it.

The boy on the card has red hair, and a word "love" is written on the left corner of his forehead in the same color as his hair. His expression is stern, and just by looking at the photo, one can feel the coldness and silence in his eyes, as well as the indelible weariness deep in his eyes.

This also explains the dark circles under his eyes, which are caused by not getting enough sleep.

"Gaara from the Sand Village!" When this name was mentioned, Kabuto Yakushi became serious. He knew the real background of this young man. "Mission experience: 8 C-level missions, B-level mission..."

"B-rank? That's amazing! You've already carried out a B-rank mission as a mere genin?"

I don't know who exclaimed, but Kabuto Yakushi pushed his glasses up and said with a smile, "Because he is a ninja from another country and a newcomer, I don't know much information about him."

The words were false, he knew, but he could not say it.

There was no need for him to introduce him in detail. Just by looking at the information revealed on the card, everyone knew how powerful Gaara was.

Not only in Konoha, but almost every ninja village has similar rules like "mission level is linked to strength".

You will perform tasks according to your strength. For example, Genin mostly performs D-level tasks. Even if there are C-level tasks, they are easier to complete and less difficult among the C-level tasks.

Those who can carry out B-level missions are all Chunins, unless it is a special case, like what happened to Naruto and the others, who completed a mission that should not have been performed by them in a confused manner. It was just an accident among accidents.

If it wasn't an accident, it meant that Gaara already had the ability to carry out B-level missions. His strength had reached that of Chunin. No, perhaps it was more than Chunin, because Kabuto Yakushi's next words verified their guess.

"But..." Pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Yakushi Kabuto said slowly, "I heard that he always came back unscathed after completing a mission."

"A Genin carrying out a B-rank mission and still coming out unscathed..." Shikamaru frowned, mentally feeling troubled.

Naruto continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Who is this guy?"

They were not the only ones who had such doubts. The others also had serious expressions. Gaara's strength exceeded their expectations.

He can perform B-rank missions without any injuries. Who would believe that Gaara is only at the level of a Genin? Even a Chunin wouldn't dare to say that he didn't get hurt at all when performing B-rank missions.

Although there are many kinds of tasks, and some B-level tasks are relatively simple and do not require fighting with others, the word "B-level" itself represents the difficulty of the task. It is okay if you don't fight with others, but once you fight, it is not a small matter. Death is a very common thing in the process of carrying out the task.

At this moment, everyone's vigilance towards Gaara reached its highest level.

Shikamaru was praying in his heart, praying that he would not meet Gaara in the exam. He was most afraid of trouble, and just thinking about fighting Gaara gave him a headache.

Just by looking at the photo, he judged that Gaara was the kind of person who would show no mercy. Once this kind of person identified you as an enemy, he would hunt you down to death.

How could this be possible? With this situation, how could he have time to slack off?

"These are the people worth noting," Kabuto Yakushi took back the cards on the ground and took out the card he used at the beginning, which had a partial map of the ninja world and a lot of information. "Konoha, Suna, Rain, Kusanagi, Taki, and Otoko, these ninja villages are the ninja villages that have candidates participating in this year's Chunin Exam."

"Those who can take part in the Chunin Exam are all outstanding ninjas from their respective villages."

This sentence was pure compliment. There were many people in the classroom and Pharmacist Dou didn't want to be remembered by others because of saying something wrong.

"However, as for the Otogakure Village, since it was only established in recent years and is a ninja village in a small country, there is almost no information about them, so I don't know how strong they are. This depends on your own exploration."

"We?" Hearing the hidden meaning, Shikamaru asked, "Why do you say that? Senior is so good at collecting information, and we will have to rely on you from now on."

“No, no, no!” Pharmacist Dou quickly waved his hands, a little embarrassed, “I don’t know how far I can go in the exam. If…”

His expression darkened, and Yakushi Kabuto gave a bitter smile: "Ha! To be honest, this is probably my last time to take part in the Chunin Exam. If I fail this time, it means that I am not suitable for this path."

"I have taken too many exams. It's time to think of other ways out. Perhaps giving up the identity of a ninja is also a good choice."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Naruto was instantly unhappy. He hated to hear people say such things. Becoming a ninja, and then going one step further, becoming a Hokage, was his lifelong goal. How could he give up halfway before achieving his goal?

That’s right, that’s right, Yakushi Kabuto’s situation is a bit tricky. He has failed the exam 7 times. It wasn’t so difficult when he was in school. If he fails this time, it will be the 8th time.

For a moment, Naruto couldn't find any excuses to comfort himself. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Even if I don't pass the exam, I can't say I don't want to be a ninja. Becoming a ninja is the dream of many people. I worked so hard to graduate from school."

"If you fail the test once, try twice. If you fail twice, try three times. There will always be a day when you will succeed. But if you give up on yourself, then there is really no hope."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if Yakushi Kabuto had already given up.

"Don't get so excited. I'm just saying that I have this plan. The details will depend on the results of this exam. If the results are good, I will naturally be happy to continue to be a ninja."

"Also," Yakushi Kabuto reminded with a strange look on his face, "I have done this not once or twice, but seven times. If I wanted to give up, I would have given up long ago. Why wait until now?"

Then he explained, "There is a certain age limit for taking the Chunin Exam. I am too old to take the Chunin Exam. Besides, there are other ways to become a Chunin."

"It's just that relatively speaking, the Chunin Exam has the lowest risk and the highest success rate. However, if the Chunin Exam is completely impossible, I will also try other ways. Whether it succeeds or not, at least I will give it a try. Don't you agree?"

"Of course!" Naruto knew he had misunderstood and scratched his head embarrassedly, "If you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, you will definitely not succeed!"

Such philosophical words coming out of Naruto's mouth made several people who hadn't seen him for a while look at him in surprise.

Shikamaru even asked, "This doesn't sound like something you could come up with. When did you have this brain?"

"What are you talking about?" Naruto pointed at Shikamaru angrily and said, "Why can't I think of such words?"

"I told you that you have no brains, you idiot!" Shikamaru looked at Naruto with disdain. How could he not know what Naruto's IQ was? When they skipped classes to go out and play at school, it was his idea. Naruto did it a few times, but he was caught every time and was punished to stand in the corner. But his ideas were good, and he was safe every time.

"You are the idiot. When we were in school, you were punished to stand in the corner more times than I did." Naruto exposed Shikamaru's past, which broke down Shikamaru's defense.

Shikamaru raised his voice and yelled, "I told you not to call me an idiot. That's because, that's because..."

"Why?" Naruto said with a smile, "Because you are an idiot. Others say that I am the last one in the class, but in my opinion, you are the last one in the class. Tell me, did you bribe the teacher in advance? Is there something fishy about your test results?"

"You, you, you..." Shikamaru was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was punished to stand because he knew it, and he didn't want to learn it again. He could even take a nap while standing outside, but he couldn't sleep so soundly in class.

Don't ask him how he sleeps standing up. Every student who is often punished to stand has this ability. Can't he? If you can't, it means that you have not been punished to stand for a long time.

This was not the reason why he was speechless. What really made him speechless was the second half of Naruto's sentence. Did he bribe the teacher? Did he say there was something fishy about his test scores?

God knows, with his ability, he still needs to bribe the teacher to pass the exam? Just kidding, the graduation exam is a piece of cake for him.

He didn't expect Naruto to say such a thing. When did Naruto manage to defeat others with his words? What had Naruto experienced during the period from graduation to now that had changed him so much?

Sakura tapped Naruto on the head very smoothly and scolded him, "Shut up! Have you forgotten what I told you to do? I told you to talk less, I told you to talk less. If you can't control your mouth, don't blame me for reporting you to me."

Before coming to the examination room, Ye Feng said a lot. If Naruto hadn't refused to leave, he really didn't want Naruto to listen. It's not that Ye Feng was avoiding something, but because he knew that Naruto was easy to talk to and knew too much, and Naruto might let something slip at any time.

So he warned the other people present in advance to keep an eye on Naruto and not let him say anything careless. If Naruto let something slip and caused some accidents, they could report it to him when they came back and he would punish him.

"understood!"

Although he didn't know what the punishment was, when he recalled the look on Ye Feng's face when he said this, Naruto covered his head with his hands and dared not say anything more.

Shikamaru also snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at him. For a moment, the only sound around them was the 'crunching' sound.

Pharmacist Dou spoke very carefully and felt that he had said nothing wrong, but some people were narrow-minded and could not tolerate even the slightest grain of sand, so his words still caused dissatisfaction among several candidates.

"Did you hear that?" A candidate with a forehead protector and a phonetic symbol said, "They said that Otogakure is a small country, a very small ninja village."

Even though what Yakushi Kabuto said was true, his own people said it was okay, but outsiders said it was not. This candidate from Otogakure Village had a strong sense of belonging to his village and country, and he would not allow anyone to speak like that about his village and country.

"Oh, what a pity!" His companion stared at Yao Shi Kabuto with a bad look and said playfully, "Just play with him for a bit."

"That's right, he actually made us sound like useless ninjas," another companion agreed, "Let's add his information in as well, so he can see the strength of us who come from a small country and a small ninja village."

"The ninjas of Otogakure are very cruel!"
