Chapter 44 Main Mission 2: Stealing Pearl Milk Tea

Shingon was not surprised by the new main quest because he had heard about the Chunin Exams before. He thought the manga author would definitely capture such a major event.

Since the main storyline is so dense, this time the truth does not jump in time, and it goes directly and smoothly from main mission 1 to main mission 2.

However, the inspiration system is not in a good mood, because the main mission 2 has just begun and the mission deviation rate is 10%.

【Host……】

[I understand.] Zhenyan agreed in advance. After such a long time together, he already knew his own system very well. Most of the time, the system behaved like an immature child, and it was easy to panic when encountering things.

[I will find out the reason for the deviation as soon as possible.] True Words Comfort System.

Because of the new task, Zhenyan temporarily withdrew from the forum. He went directly to the Uchiha milk tea shop to open a shop and do business. He would come into contact with many people every day, which was the most convenient way to obtain information.

In order to find the cause of the deviation, Shingon decided to personally sit in the milk tea shop during the Chunin Exam.

After arriving at the milk tea shop, Zhenyan first dismissed the shadow clone that was guarding the store. When the shadow clone's memory returned, Zhenyan was stunned. He did not expect that he would find the reason for the increase in the deviation rate so quickly.

During this period, the number of customers buying bubble milk tea has increased significantly. The reason is that the Chunin Exam is about to begin. Some Genin bought milk tea in order to replenish their chakra for the Chunin Exam, but most of the Genin taking the Chunin Exam are minors.

The shadow clones watching over the store would naturally not sell adult drinks to minors, but some ninjas actually used transformation techniques to buy milk tea. What's worse, some parents took the initiative to buy milk tea for their children so that their children could successfully become Chunin.

Shingon cannot accurately identify every person, so there will inevitably be omissions, allowing some Genin who are preparing to take the Chunin Exam to buy the milk tea.

For a jonin, the amount of chakra replenished by those milk teas may not be a big deal, but for a genin, it may decide the victory of a competition.

Thinking that the milk tea he sold might affect the fairness of the Chunin Exam, Shingon immediately went to see the Third Hokage.

"Master Sandaime, I think Uchiha pearl milk tea should be banned in the Chunin Exams." Shingen suggested to the Third Hokage.

"Why ban it?" The Third Hokage had been to Managano's milk tea shop. He knew that Managano's milk tea had a special rule that it was only sold to adults. Now when he heard Managano make this request, he couldn't help but be curious about Managano's thoughts. For a milk tea shop, isn't it true that the more they sell, the better?

"For the sake of fairness in the exam," Shingon said, "ninjas who use milk tea to replenish their chakra and pass the exam may not have milk tea to help them through dangers in future missions."

The Third Hokage was a little dazed by Managao's words, especially Managao's serious look at this moment, which suddenly reminded him of the scene when Managao handed him the plan that year.

Over the years, Konoha has indeed gained a lot of benefits because of Shingen's plan, but at the same time some disadvantages have also been exposed.

Perhaps it was because he was old and lacked the courage of his youth, the Third Hokage would sometimes regret that if he had not accepted the plan, would the fate of the Uchiha, the first to participate in the reform, be rewritten?

As the third Hokage of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen inherited the Will of Fire from the First and Second Hokage. He has been trying to preserve the fire of Konoha through his own methods, wanting to pass on the Will of Fire, but things in the world cannot always go as planned.

Regarding the extinction of the Uchiha clan, the Third Hokage felt powerless and helpless, and at the same time he had an inescapable sense of guilt in his heart.

But everything was ultimately irreversible, and all he could do was to protect the two Uchiha orphans in the village and help them grow up safely.

The Third Hokage agreed to Mangon's proposal just now. He had no reason to disagree, because what Mangon said was all for the village and the future of the village. The Third Hokage was very pleased that Mangon was still as sincere to the village as he was in the past. At the same time, he was also very sorry that Mangon had not been able to become a ninja in all these years.

Thinking of what Jiraiya had mentioned to him some time ago, the Third Hokage couldn't help but say to Shingen: "I have a disciple, Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas. Little Jiraiya also likes you very much and wants to take you as his disciple."

"If you want, you can become little Jiraiya's disciple like the Fourth Hokage did." The Third Hokage said again. This might be the last compensation he could make.

Shingon never thought deeply about what it meant to become Jiraiya's disciple like the Fourth Hokage. He always had a clear goal, and this goal had nothing to do with being a ninja.

"Third-generation master, please don't embarrass me." Shingon stretched out his hand and made two hand seals for the Third-generation Hokage to see. "These hand seals are too complicated. If I make more than three hand seals, I feel like my hands are going to cramp. If I really become a ninja, I'm afraid the battle will be over before I can complete the hand seals."

Looking at Shingon's uncoordinated gestures, the Third Hokage finally sighed helplessly.

During this meeting, Shingen noticed that the Third Hokage had more age spots on his face. As he got older, he should pay more attention to taking care of his body, but every time the Third Hokage strolled in the village and passed by a milk tea shop, he would go into the shop to buy milk tea eight out of ten times.

"Grandpa, drinking too much milk tea can easily lead to high blood sugar." Zhenyan couldn't help but remind him.

"Ahem..." The Third Hokage suddenly felt embarrassed when Shingen pointed it out. He actually didn't like sweet food, but Uchiha pearl milk tea could replenish chakra. Every time he drank it, he could feel the abundant chakra in his body and regain some of the feelings of his youth.

Zhenyan had seen a greedy grandfather in Honghua Village before. It is said that old people tend to become stubborn as they get older, but Zhenyan thinks there are reasons behind most of their stubbornness. For example, the greedy grandfather in Honghua Village was afraid of being hungry when he was young, so he could not control his food intake when he got old.

Shingon didn't know why the Third Hokage liked to drink milk tea. He just thought that old people had slow metabolism and eating too much sweets was bad for the body.

"Master Sandaime, I have to go back to the store first." Shingon said goodbye to the Third Hokage. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Next time you go, I'll make you a cup of sugar-free."

The Third Hokage couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Managao's briskly leaving back, and a rare sincere smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

After returning, Zhenyan found that the mission deviation rate was still 10% and had not decreased.

This means that the increase in the deviation rate is not due to Uchiha bubble milk tea, but apart from bubble milk tea, what else is wrong?

Zhenyan couldn't think of anything for the moment, so he could only stay in the milk tea shop and observe.

What Shingon didn't know was that while he was sticking to his principle of not selling bubble milk tea to minors, Naruto and Sasuke were secretly eyeing bubble milk tea.

Uchiha bubble milk tea was created by Shingon, and it is very popular among ninjas. How could the two of them not be interested in milk tea?

Zhenyan gave the two of them a version without pearls, but that was like sweet and sour pork tenderloin without vinegar or Beijing-style pork shreds without sauce; it lacked the all-important soul.

So when Naruto was browsing the books at home and accidentally saw the sealing technique that could store chakra, he quietly found Sasuke.

"Sasuke, do you know how the chakra pearls in Uchiha pearl milk tea are made?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

"Why are you asking this?" Sasuke asked back. Chakra beads can also be regarded as a kind of ninjutsu. Sasuke did ask about it out of curiosity.

In Shingon's opinion, Sasuke has always been very sensible. He never thought that Sasuke would secretly drink milk tea, so when Sasuke asked about it, he told Sasuke the production principle of chakra pearls.

Naruto showed Sasuke the sealing technique he had discovered: "With this, plus the chakra pearl, we can make our own milk tea."

Sasuke took a look and said, "Boring."

Naruto didn't give up. He looked at Sasuke and asked in a tantalizing way, "Sasuke, aren't you curious about what real bubble tea tastes like? I've heard from many ninjas that the chakra pearls will explode in the mouth. It's said to taste more stimulating than cola, and it can also replenish chakra."

"That's Uchiha Pearl Milk Tea, and you are Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto used the method of provoking.

Sasuke: “…………”

Sasuke was actually very curious as well, but he had always been self-disciplined, so he did not agree to Naruto's request. However, when he heard Naruto say this, the young boy's competitive spirit was inevitably aroused.

"Let's drink quietly, brother Zhenyan won't find out." Naruto came over again and added fuel to the fire.

Sasuke was finally convinced by Naruto...

The main reason was that Zhenyan had been using his original body to run the store these days and no one was at home, which gave the two of them the perfect opportunity.

Naruto is in charge of the sealing technique, Sasuke is in charge of the chakra pearl part. As for the materials, there is pearl-free milk tea stored by Shingen at home, so we can just use it.

Naruto and Sasuke worked together and actually made Uchiha pearl milk tea.

Two cups of freshly made pearl milk tea were placed in front of them. Naruto and Sasuke each picked up a cup. They did not drink immediately, but looked at each other first. At this time, both of them were actually a little nervous.

This is like a child doing something that is not allowed without telling his parents. Although he did it with courage, he could not help feeling uneasy.

"I'll drink first!" Naruto said to himself to give himself courage.

Although Sasuke didn't say anything, he stared at the cup in his hand, obviously intending to drink the drink together.

They both raised their hands at the same time, but at that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the window outside the room. Their hands trembled and the milk tea in their hands almost spilled out...

This year's Chunin Exam is a bit early for the Genin who just graduated from the Ninja School. Most of the leading Jonin, out of this consideration, generally choose to let students register in the second year. Kakashi also has this consideration, but his consideration is different from that of other leading Jonin.

Whenever Kakashi thought of Zabuza and Haku who had fled during the Wave Country mission, he would worry about those who had taken the exam with Naruto and Sasuke...

Although he was worried, he still had to inform the three students about the Chunin Exam. Kakashi took the registration form and decided to let the three students consider for themselves whether to take the Chunin Exam this year.

After delivering the registration form to Haruno Sakura, Kakashi was about to give the remaining two to Naruto and Sasuke, but unexpectedly he caught the two of them secretly drinking milk tea.

Kakashi entered the room. He first glanced at the two people who were obviously feeling guilty, and then glanced at the milk tea in their hands that they had not had time to drink.

"You two..."

"Teacher Kakashi, why did you come back suddenly?" Naruto quickly asked to divert attention, and at the same time quietly put the milk tea on the table behind him and blocked it.

When Sasuke saw what Naruto did, he quietly put the milk tea in his hand on the table behind him.

Kakashi pretended not to notice the two's little trick. He handed the registration form in his hand to Naruto: "This is the registration form for the Chunin Exam. If you want to participate, fill it out and give it to me."

"One thing I want to point out is that most of the candidates taking the exam this year are seniors with more experience than you, so you should think carefully before taking the exam."

"Chunin Exam?" Naruto immediately asked excitedly, "I want to participate!"

Seeing Naruto like this, Kakashi was not surprised at all. He just reminded him again: "Fill it out and give it to me."

In fact, there is one thing Kakashi did not explain, that is, all three of them must register at the same time to participate. He concealed this point just because he did not want to put pressure on students who were not well prepared, so that the three students could decide whether to take the exam without burden.

Kakashi handed another form to Sasuke. After both of them took the form, Naruto, who had something to hide, asked casually, "Teacher Kakashi, do you have anything else to say?"

Kakashi suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed the two of them a very friendly smile. It was the first time for Naruto and Sasuke to see Kakashi smile like that. They were a little dazed for a moment, and the result of their distraction was that the milk tea they had hidden behind them was ruthlessly taken away by Kakashi.

Kakashi held two cups of milk tea in one hand and raised his index finger with the other hand, and said to the two people: "The new rules of the Chunin Exam prohibit the use of bubble milk tea, so this will be confiscated."

Naruto: “…………”

Sasuke: “…………”

"Teacher Kakashi, it's not the exam period now." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Naruto began to explain. They had worked hard to make those two cups of milk tea, and he was unwilling to have them confiscated.

However, Kakashi was like an indifferent dean. He didn't listen to the students' explanation at all and just left with the confiscated snacks.

But Kakashi didn't make it out of the room safely. Before he even reached the door, he suddenly shook as if he had received an electric shock. Not only that, the white hair on his head also exploded...

"Teacher Kakashi!"

Naruto and Sasuke didn't understand what was going on, so they rushed forward to check.

A wisp of green smoke came out of Kakashi's head. He stared at the empty cup in his hand in disbelief and asked the two people in a hoarse voice: "Where did you get this milk tea?"

Naruto and Sasuke also looked at the empty cup in Kakashi's hand. They both felt even more guilty than when they were first discovered.

"Sasuke and I did this..."

Kakashi: “…………”

Chakra pearls are compressed from chakra. Mangon's case is special. The seven chakra attributes are fused into a bloodline network, and the characteristics of each attribute will not be manifested. But Sasuke is different. Sasuke cannot fuse the chakra attributes, so the chakra pearls he makes carry his chakra attributes, and Sasuke's main attribute is thunder and fire.

So Kakashi, who drank the student special edition bubble milk tea, was shocked that the outside was crispy but the inside was tender.

Seeing Kakashi's current appearance, Naruto finally understood Shingon's good intentions. He said to Sasuke: "Brother Shingon is right, Uchiha pearl milk tea really can't be drunk casually!"
