A convenience store opened in Naruto

"A-choo!" Ye Feng, who was basking in the sun at the door, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to himself: "What's going on? Is someone talking about me behind my back again?"

"You are so leisurely that you can hire so many people with just one salary." Kakashi picked up a bottle of water on the table, unscrewed the lid and drank a few sips, then put the water in his pocket. Kakashi put on his mask quickly, so quickly that several shadow clones who couldn't see his face clearly looked disappointed, and then went back to their own business.

The Chunin Exams had already begun, and the candidates had all entered the venue, but the flow of people on the street had not decreased. To them, the exam results were not something they cared about. After all, it had nothing to do with them. They were simply here to join in the fun.

It's like when there's a fair in a village, everyone goes there to buy things and set up a stall.

Speaking of street vendors, not all of them are locals in the village. There are also some from other places. This is allowed by the village. The village does not suffer any loss, and they can also collect stall fees. Why not do it?

As long as they don't cause trouble and have no other bad intentions, the village allows some vendors from other places to do business normally in the areas designated in the village.

Originally there was no fixed area. Normally, there were also merchants from other places doing business in the village. Some were temporary, while others were long-term. The long-term ones generally had their own shops.

But isn’t this a special case? During the Chunin Exams, there were too many vendors coming from other places, and the purpose of demarcating stall areas was to facilitate unified management.

These vendors from other places also brought some things that were not common in the village, attracting the attention of many villagers.

If people look, people will buy. Their business is no worse than that of the locals.

Those who are still walking on the street are tourists and villagers. For the latter, the Chunin Exam is nothing special. It is held twice a year in the village, but the degree of excitement is different. After seeing it so many times, it is just like that.

Those who have ninjas at home may need to care more about the results. Those who don’t have ninjas can just live a normal life, do business, go shopping, eat, drink, and do whatever they need to do.

The tourists had the same idea. They were originally here to have fun, but they wanted to do business, which they had already discussed in the previous few days. The reason they hadn't left yet was to watch the final exam.

The exam is divided into three sessions. The first two are closed and they have no viewing rights. Only the last session is open and anyone can buy a ticket to watch.

This is the highlight.

Although civilians and ninjas live in the same world, to be honest, there is not much intersection between the two. Unless there is some mission, it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter ninjas, let alone see the fight between ninjas.

By the way, I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​buying tickets to watch the fight between ninjas. No matter what the idea is, whether it is to show strength to the outside world or to deter some people with ulterior motives, the ticket money alone can make the village a lot of money. After all, the tickets are not cheap.

But it doesn't matter, the purpose of coming out is to have fun. Many people don't care. You have to know that this is a fight between ninjas, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch, and there is no life-threatening danger. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.

Although other ninja villages also have activities such as the Chunin Exam, the living environment in the Fire Nation is different from that in other countries, and its safety factor is the best compared to other countries.

It is only relatively speaking. As I said before, there has never been true peace in the ninja world, and there is no place that is an absolute pure land!

Death and killing can be seen everywhere. Chaos is the norm in the ninja world...

"Hey, hey, I just drank a bottle of your water, it shouldn't be that serious, right? Why didn't you say anything for such a long time?" Kakashi waved his hand in front of Ye Feng, a little puzzled, "Isn't it said that this is an employee benefit? As long as the things in the store are not wasted, you can use them for free."

Ye Feng came back to his senses from his daze, moved on the recliner, changed to a more comfortable position, and complained: "You also said that this is an employee benefit, what kind of employee are you? Xiaoying at least stayed in the store for a few days, although she didn't do anything, but at least she showed up in the store, what about you?"

"You just signed a contract and became an employee. Not to mention that you eat and sleep in the store, when have you ever fulfilled your duties as an employee?"

"Have you ever worked a day's work, or have you ever been on duty in the store? You're nowhere to be seen during the day, and you come back at dinner time at night. How dare you talk about employee benefits?"

Kakashi frowned: "You're angry today, why are you talking so harshly?"

"I'm not angry, but I get angry when I think about what's going to happen," Ye Feng stood up from the recliner, pointed at the crowd on the street, and said with some regret, "Look, look, there are so many people on the street, how much do they spend every day?"

"The business in my store is getting better day by day, but tell me, if they don't go to the streets anymore, who will take care of my business?"

After something happened in the village, the number of people on the streets is bound to decrease. With people in panic, it is not uncommon for no one to go out on the streets. At that time, the business in the store will definitely decline, and it may even be worse than when he first arrived. At least there was no shortage of people on the streets at that time.

“Are you worried about the people or the money?”

"I have both. If I have to compare them, the latter?" Ye Feng shrugged and said, "I am just an ordinary person who is powerless. For ordinary people, money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done!"

"In that case, why didn't you stop it from happening?" Kakashi frowned even more tightly. Ever since he learned that something was going to happen in the village, he had been worried about this day. Although nothing seemed to be unusual at the moment, he had no intention of relaxing.

He has been patrolling around the village these past few days, and has hardly paid any attention to his teammates. He has no idea what progress Naruto and the other two have made.

Although there is no clear rule that "students who have just graduated from school cannot take part in the Chunin Exam", it is an unspoken rule. Generally speaking, after students graduate from school, they will be led by a teacher to perform tasks and accumulate experience. The teacher will not sign up for them until he thinks they are ready.

It could take one year, two years, or even longer.

This is also to protect the safety of students.

Even though the Chunin Exam is an exam and has certain safety measures in place, accidents are bound to happen.

It is not easy to train a ninja, and the same is true for Konoha, even though it is a big and powerful country.

According to the unspoken rules, Naruto and the other two will not take part in this exam. Not only them, but also the other nine people, except Neji and the other two, who are now gathered at the door and are unaware of the impending danger, will not participate.

But perhaps they all had confidence in their students. After seeing Kakashi register their students and they passed, their team leaders also registered their own students.

Even after they found out that Kakashi had signed up his students, they still tried to dissuade him.

For some unknown reason, the Third Hokage agreed, and this was the first gathering of the Twelve Ninjas of Konoha.

"Stop? Why should I stop it?" Ye Feng asked back, "Even if I stop it this time, what about next time? What about the next time? What is coming will eventually come, unless I get rid of the person behind the scenes once and for all, but..."

Ye Feng paused, lit a cigarette and then continued, "But, Kakashi, do you know how many people are hoping for his death? Not to mention those outside the village, I know quite a few within the village alone."

"They won't attack him directly, nor will they add insult to injury. Watching him die without helping is already the best way for them to deal with the situation."

"Hiss~" In the smoke, Ye Feng looked at Kakashi with a smile and asked: "What about you, what do you think?"

Kakashi's heart tightened, but he did not answer Ye Feng's question. Ye Feng did not need him to answer. They both knew the answer!

After clearing away the smoke in front of him, Ye Feng lay back down and waved his hand: "Go and do your work. Patrol well."

Kakashi did not stay long. He took a few more bottles of water and distributed them to his temporary teammates in the patrol team who were waiting for him not far away. Then, they blended into the crowd again.

Watching Kakashi walk away, Ye Feng shook his head, flicked the ash off his cigarette, put his arms on the armrests of the recliner, and with a barely audible sigh, covered his eyes with his hat.

……

"Hey, Naruto, don't be so nervous... huh?" Sakura felt something was wrong just after she finished saying the comforting words. She seemed to have seen Naruto somewhere before.

Where is it?

Suddenly, Sakura recalled that Sasuke did the same thing when facing Zabuza's ambush on the bridge in Wave Country.

"No way?" Sakura slapped her forehead, feeling a bad premonition.

But, it's too late!

"Ah~" With a long tail sound and a face full of excitement, Naruto turned around, pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at the many candidates in the classroom with the other.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I won't lose to you! Do you understand?"

Good, very impressive!

"I knew Naruto would be scared. He's obviously shaking with excitement. What an idiot!" Sakura clenched her fists tightly, her face full of speechlessness. She was actually a little worried.

Everyone was shocked by Naruto's actions. This was definitely going to make people hate him.

Ino even yelled at Sakura: "Hey, what's going on, that guy?"

Being stared at by so many examinees in the classroom, Ino felt uneasy, and couldn't figure out what Naruto was doing. She raised her voice by three points: "What does he want to do by provoking everyone?"

Sakura's ears were buzzing from Ino's voice, and she responded without any hesitation: "Don't tell me, go ask him yourself."

"If not you, who should I tell?" Ino shouted confidently, "He and I are not familiar with each other."

"What did you say?" Sakura wanted to punch Ino in the face. At such an embarrassing moment, she didn't want to have anything to do with Naruto, and she wasn't familiar with Naruto.

According to the uncle, this is called emergency hedging, which is nothing wrong. Sakura nodded in her heart.

The two of them had an argument here, but the parties involved didn't care at all. Naruto put his hands behind his head and stretched.

"Ah, now I feel refreshed!"

The worries in my heart were swept away. What if Sasuke ignored me? Talking less doesn't mean you can't talk. Hey, I said it, so what?

Not very good. He felt good after he said it, but others were not.

"I won't lose to you. How dare you say such things?" Inuzuka Kiba said in a low voice, covering his mouth with his hands.

He was also very scared. It was true that he liked to show off, but at least he had some vision. If you asked him to say such provocative words, he would never be able to say them. It was because he was afraid of being beaten to death.

Nara Shikamaru was so confused that his head almost exploded: "This idiot has made everyone around him his enemy in an instant."

Naruto was targeted, and he, who was around Naruto, naturally could not escape the blame. When the fire broke out in the city, the fish in the pond were affected too, because he knew Naruto.

Sakura had obviously figured out the problem. It was too late to pretend not to know him now. As Naruto's teammate, it was only a matter of time before she would be targeted.

Fearing that Naruto might say something shocking again, Sakura didn't bother to argue with Ino and locked Naruto's neck from behind with such force that Naruto could hardly breathe.

"What are you talking about, you guy?"

Naruto struggled hard, still unconvinced, and said: "I'm just telling the truth!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Xiaoying's arms tightened even more and she said angrily, "I asked you to tell the truth, I asked you to tell the truth, you idiot, you've killed everyone, you're done, just wait, I'll definitely report you to uncle."

The arms became stronger and stronger, and Naruto rolled his eyes and struggled weakly.

Well, his acting skills are good. If Ye Feng were here, he would applaud him.

With Naruto's strength, how could he not break free from Sakura's chokehold? Why couldn't he break free?

Is there any need to ask? Those who understand will understand!

Seeing that Naruto no longer resisted, Sakura still held Naruto's neck and refused to let go, but she just rolled her eyes. How many times have she seen such eye rolls during this period of time? Was there ever a day when Neji didn't roll his eyes?

"Everyone, he was just joking. He has a problem with his brain," Sakura hurriedly explained to the students in the classroom, "Anyway, it's just an idiot talking nonsense. It's just a random guy saying it casually. Please don't take it seriously."

The atmosphere was very depressing and no one spoke. As the exam was approaching, everyone was very nervous, like a wound-up spring, tightly stretched, and the slightest disturbance would attract their attention.

If they hadn't been in the classroom, they would have started fighting.

Now, because of Naruto's words, the spring was wound up again and was about to break. They urgently needed an outlet to let the wound-up spring release some of its force.

……

The red-haired girl hiding in the corner couldn't help but look up at Naruto when she heard the familiar surname, then quickly lowered her head again.
