In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Although most orphans in Konoha received subsidies, there were different levels of support. The situation of these orphans wasn't exactly good; they could barely get enough to eat.

Even Ichiraku Ramen was an unattainable delicacy for the four of them.

"I want tonkotsu ramen," Naruto said, "give the same to my four friends first."

"Okay, wait a moment." Shouda Yile smiled and went back to the kitchen.

Under the light, the four people sat there waiting uncomfortably, while Naruto yawned and chatted with them out of boredom.

"Have you ever had tonkotsu ramen?"

"No." The four of them shook their heads.

"Then come and eat every day from now on. Stop when you feel like vomiting." Naruto said indifferently, as if it was just a trivial remark.

He didn't even know what the four people's names were. Naruto didn't ask and they didn't tell him.

"How is that possible?"

It is really possible, because what Naruto lacks the most now is money, and he has no place to spend it. He has no habit of squandering money, and there is no reason for him to spend money casually.

"You'll know when the time comes." Naruto said, "Anyway, meet me at the usual place tomorrow. There will be ice cream and ramen tomorrow."

"Got it, Boss!" The four of them showed happy expressions and answered in unison.

He was really bored, so he did this seemingly boring thing. But before those twenty D-rank missions were completed, he might not even be able to participate in the Chunin Exam.

If that's the case, then Naruto will have to waste these boring August and September alone.

Seeing the four people eating happily, Naruto yawned again, no longer having any appetite. He wondered when this boring day would end, and when the Chunin Exam would start.

As the night deepened, Naruto separated from the four.

This scene happened to be seen by Ino who had just finished her training. She was a little puzzled as to why Naruto was hanging out with that group of kids?

But watching them separate, Ino didn't think about it any further and walked towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

She didn't know how to face Naruto now, and she didn't want to complicate the relationship, so she thought she would just calm down for a while.

But she hadn't walked far when she passed a white-haired old man in strange clothes. He was tall, wearing a training suit lined with fishnets, a red jacket on the outside, and a forehead protector with the word "Oil" written on it.

When did such a person come to the village? Ino turned around and stared at the man for a long time, but in the end she didn't follow him.

Perhaps it is related to the Chunin Exams that Konoha will be holding soon. There are also many people coming from other villages. If you think about it this way, it makes sense.

Naruto also saw Jiraiya from a distance, but did not approach him. Instead, he went straight home in his own direction.

If I get involved with Jiraiya, my future will definitely be troublesome.

He didn't want to inherit the title of the Son of Prophecy at all. To be honest, Naruto really couldn't believe what a toad said.

Now he is also the God of Ninja. Although this thing is just a puppet, it is better than broadcasting the gospel. Although it may not be of any use, just spreading the joke of hell in Konoha Village and disrupting public order is also a good thing.

But the sad thing is that Naruto has to make sure he doesn't get caught and no one else knows that he is the grouchy Ninja God.

After returning home, Naruto went to sleep as usual.

At midnight, Naruto's biological clock made him open his eyes suddenly, and he checked the panel to update the status of the God of Ninja on time.

"August 17th, the Will of Fire is ninja world garbage."

After sending it, Naruto fell asleep.

The next day, Konoha held a collective lecture on the Will of Fire. The streets were filled with ninjas handing out pamphlets on the Will of Fire, and many slogans were posted on the walls.

Kakashi even informed Naruto to remember to attend the Ninja School's Will of Fire refresher course, and also helped Sasuke and Sakura from Team 7 to attend the class.

"That won't work. I still have to do D-rank missions," Naruto complained.

"I would have almost forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Kakashi squatted on the window of Naruto's house and scratched his head. "How about this, you use the transformation technique to take Sasuke and Sakura's place in class, and you can skip the D-rank mission."

"make a deal."

"Oh, by the way," Kakashi suddenly remembered something and said before leaving, "Tomorrow the three of you will go to the Ninja School to submit your application forms for the Chunin Exam. I have already submitted your names."

"remember."

After giving his instructions, Kakashi disappeared.

"Ah." Naruto got up slowly and washed up, then suddenly remembered the agreement he had made with the four kids, so he skipped class.

At the entrance of the convenience store, five people led by Naruto squatted in a row, holding ice cream in their hands and licking them synchronously, with the scorching sun a few meters away from them.

"So, boss, you don't have to pick up trash today?" a boy asked with some disappointment.

"Ah, not for now, I have other things to do." Naruto swallowed the ice cream in one gulp, threw the wooden stick away casually, and stood up and said.

"Wait for me here. We'll go have barbecue together around noon."

"Um..." The only girl among the four raised her head and stared at Naruto through her messy and thick long hair and asked.

"Why are you so nice to us?"

"No reason." Naruto looked back at the four people, "If I don't play with you, I don't know what to do, so..."

"Anyway, just wait for me here obediently."

After leaving behind these words, Naruto walked away without even looking back.

When his figure disappeared in the distance, one of the four little boys, who was slightly thinner, suddenly spoke, but his voice became like a duck's voice, which was clearly the voice of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old in the voice change period.

"Tayuya, isn't this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki too easy to fool?"

The girl called Tayuya glared at the person who spoke and said.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you keep saying that, I'll kill you!"

Chapter 34: Naruto, give up the Chunin Exam (if you don't like it, you can skip it and brush it quickly)

"The ice cream is delicious though," Kidomaru said, "Do we really have to wait here for him?"

"Lord Orochimaru's mission is for us to disguise ourselves as orphans and hide in Konoha, so that we can take advantage of the Chunin Exam to execute the plan to destroy Konoha."

"But it seems like there's still some time before the Chunin Exams begin. It seems like Konoha has offended someone serious these past few days."

"I won't wait any longer. I can't pretend anymore," Sakon and Ukon said. "I'm going to go out and look around."

"No, we'll really starve to death without that guy." Kidomaru shouted to Sakon and Ukon, "Wait for me!"

The two left, leaving only Jirobo and Tayuya, who were in childish state, at the scene.

"Hey, Tayuya," Jirobo said, looking at his two companions who were leaving, "You're not really going to wait for him, are you?"

"Stop talking too much!" Tayuya walked away in one direction alone with a gloomy face.

......

On the other side, Naruto returned to the Ninja School to attend classes, and used the transformation technique to respond to Sasuke and Sakura.

On the podium, the female lecturer, Sparrow, was preaching the Will of Fire. Even her beautiful voice could not make up for the Will of Fire's rotten ideology, and Naruto was drowsy listening to it.

He fell asleep on the table in a daze. When he woke up again, the classroom was empty and the sunset glow shone in from the window.

Naruto thought to himself, this is bad, he had planned to have a barbecue with those four people. He was really free recently, and it would be nice to have a few people to accompany him to eat and drink.

Training was impossible, and he didn't have to do any more D-rank missions, except for waiting for the Chunin Exam. Naruto had already planned how to waste the rest of his time.

But the situation now is a bit awkward, he overslept.

"It's over, it's over. What a shame! I overslept." Naruto wiped his saliva hastily and rushed out the door. "I don't know why I've been so sleepy lately."

Naruto ran out of the ninja school while complaining. When he arrived at the place they had agreed to meet in the morning, there was no one in the dusty land dimmed by sunset.

Come to think of it, who would wait from noon to afternoon? They'd probably think they were being tricked, right? Or maybe they'd think the person didn't care about that kind of agreement at all.

Naruto sighed softly. The dining partner he had finally found was gone, but now that things had come to this, he could only eat first.

Just at this moment, my stomach began to growl, and at the same time, another growling sound came from behind a pile of cardboard boxes nearby.

Hearing that noise, Naruto was also stunned.

A girl came out timidly from behind the cardboard box.

BBQ shop.

The sizzling meat slices emitted a mouth-watering aroma when they touched the grill pan coated with hot oil. Naruto put the meat into his and the girl's bowls while grilling it.

"Eat, eat." Naruto couldn't help but start eating.

After taking two bites, the girl suddenly looked up at Naruto and asked in confusion.

“Isn’t barbecue expensive?”

"It's not expensive." Naruto said vaguely, "Don't worry, I can definitely afford it."

The girl nodded and began to slowly enjoy the barbecue. After eating, Naruto asked her if she wanted to buy some food to bring back to the other three.

"No, I think they should have found something to eat." The girl said with a smile, her hands behind her back.

"Okay, by the way, if you come again tomorrow morning, just wait for me here." Naruto scratched his head and said, "I will be there early. Today was an accident."

"Okay!" The girl nodded seriously.

After the two parted ways, Naruto walked home at his usual leisurely pace, while Tayuya turned into an alley and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Tayuya? You really waited there for an entire afternoon?" Dokimaru said with some disdain, "Did you finally get what you wanted?"

"Ah, we had the barbecue, but there was no share for you guys." Tayuya said lightly.

"Do you really think you're an orphan? Don't forget Lord Orochimaru's mission!" Dokimaru warned, "I can buy you off with a barbecue!"

"That's right." Tayuya said, "I was bought off by a barbecue. I ate it, but you didn't."

"you!"

"Lord Orochimaru's mission hasn't started yet, I know my limits." Tayuya said, "You don't need to say so much, just mind yourselves."

"Tayuya, since you put it that way..." Kidomaru looked at Tayuya, hesitant to speak, and finally said nothing.

The next day, Naruto woke up and did not update the God of Ninja status as usual because he was visited by the Anbu.

"Hokage-sama wishes to see you."

"Oh."

On the way, Naruto thought of the appointment he had made yesterday and felt a little irritated. He hoped that this meeting wouldn't take up too much of his time, otherwise he would have to break his promise again.

After entering the Hokage building, Naruto met the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen. The old Hokage was sitting at the Hokage table, smoking a pipe and looking Naruto over.

"Naruto, a lot of things have happened in the village recently." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "What do you think?"

"I don't feel any difference." Naruto said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the village is safe with the Hokage-sama here."

"I saw your name on the list for this year's Chunin Exam." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Naruto and said.

"Based on the current situation of the village, and Naruto, you are very important to the village. I hope you can give up this exam."

"Okay." Naruto said without hesitation, "Can I go now?"

"Don't you want to know the reason?" The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto and said, "I originally thought you wouldn't be able to accept it. The Chunin Exam is a great platform for ninjas to show themselves."

"Nothing to ask." Naruto answered in a proper manner, "The village has its reasons for making such arrangements. I don't mind."

"The essence of a ninja is obedience, right? I don't care anymore."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked serious, but was speechless for a moment. He looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked at him.

"Hokage-sama, can I go now?"

"can."

After receiving a positive response, Naruto turned around and left without any hesitation. Before closing the door, he heard the Third Hokage sigh.

Perhaps the Third Hokage did not want Naruto to simply become a weapon of the village, but the current Naruto did not have such an optimistic attitude.

He saw the village's attitude towards him, and he didn't want to work for Konoha.

With the system at his disposal, he didn't need to be taught ninjutsu, nor did he need external force to subdue the Nine-Tails. If he wanted, the system could completely bypass the Nine-Tails and directly draw its power.

As long as he wants, he doesn't need to rely on anyone and can live as he pleases.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is just a fox living in his body. How can he avoid its edge?

It's just a Nine-Tailed Fox. You already have a system, but you still want to avoid it?

Sooner or later, one day, the Nine-Tailed Fox will be crushed to pieces with one punch.
