"Hokage, Xingyan's condition seems to be getting worse. He may not be suitable to participate in this Chunin Exam..."
Kakashi returned to the Hokage's office with four copies of the consent form.
Three of them are signed by individuals, and only Xingyan's copy is still empty.
"Kakashi, some things are not as simple as you think. Since he is asleep and his family is not in Konoha, you will sign for him. Then ask him to go and see. After all, the Aizen family is also an investor this time. They want to make money, and let their young master drive popularity. This is a win-win cooperation."
The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes unclear due to the smoke.
He looked at Kakashi, expressing his disappointment that Kakashi would actually sympathize with the child, but he couldn't say it now.
He has to maintain his own identity, and some things need to be understood by his subordinates instead of being explained by him.
"yes!"
Kakashi lowered his head, picked up the blank Chunin Exam consent form, and signed Xingyan's name on it.
In this way, all the special four-member team has signed and is waiting to take part in the Chunin Exam.
...
...
"Kakashi, train them well these few days and improve their teamwork."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put away the four letters of consent, gave Kakashi some instructions again, and then let him leave.
This time, the Chunin Exam will be unprecedentedly grand. Not only will it make certain things public to some people, it will also bring in many profit-making projects.
Everything must be made attractive, especially to attract wealthy businessmen, daimyo, and major ninja villages.
Whether this play can be performed well is more exciting than how many Chunins will appear in the end.
"yes!"
Kakashi left the Hokage building.
Since we have confirmed that we will be taking part in the Chunin Exams, we have to train our teamwork, so we don't have to take on other small tasks for the time being.
"Let's go, let's have some barbecue!"
Kakashi looked at the students who were still waiting for him, and generously waved his hand, inviting them to dinner.
To improve team relationships, start by eating together.
I walked into the familiar Akimichi BBQ restaurant. Just as I ordered the food and was waiting, Asuma also walked in with the Ino, Shika and Chou team.
"Kakashi, you're here to treat the students to a meal too? That's weird!"
Asuma Sarutobi looked at Kakashi and noticed the child who was still asleep on the chair over there. He said that Kakashi was treating them, but in fact he was wondering if Kakashi was asking the students to spend money again.
There was a local tycoon student. Although they felt it was a headache to figure out who would lead whom at first, after seeing Kakashi buying bags of ninjutsu props from then on, they actually felt a little envious.
It is said that in the first few days of the mission, this guy even bought detonating tags for thousands of dollars. He couldn't help but go home and ask his old man if Kakashi was bribed by the young master of the Aizen family.
"Asuma, aren't you here to treat the students to a meal?"
Kakashi didn't understand Asuma's teasing. Was it weird that he invited these little ones to dinner?
As for those times when he used the eldest young master's money to go on lavish shopping sprees, he knew about it, but he was locked up in a dungeon at the time and couldn't think about it at all now.
"It's Choji's treat this time. Sasuke, long time no see. Why is Xingyan asleep again? Has he... become smaller?"
Yamanaka Ino had already run to Sasuke before Asuma spoke, answered Kakashi's question casually, and then stared at Xingyan again and again.
As a desk mate for several years, she was very familiar with Xing Yan's unchanging appearance.
Now something is obviously wrong. The body size has become much smaller.
"There's something wrong with his body again. Yesterday, Mr. Aizen brought people back and gave him a new seal. It should be able to last for a while longer. I don't know when we can find Princess Tsunade..."
Kakashi sighed and briefly explained Xing Yan's situation.
This information was revealed by Xing Yan himself, and he is just repeating it now.
As for Princess Tsunade...
We should have arrived at the villa a few days ago, right?
The man with long white hair that he saw at the beginning, he looked up some information after he came back. He was a strong man who could use his soul to travel around when he was alive, but he died in the war at a young age.
As for whether he died at the hands of the enemy or was plotted against by certain people in Konoha, that was not something he needed to know.
Anyway, with that freer spiritual being to protect her, it would not be difficult for Princess Tsunade to disappear from Konoha's surveillance.
"Again...how could this be? Is it so...difficult to get news about Princess Tsunade?"
Ino sighed, but after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, then looked around a few more times and turned to go to the seat they had chosen.
She seemed to know why.
The news about Princess Tsunade must have been hidden.
Normally, as long as Princess Tsunade is really out there, the Aizen family will be able to find her. But if Konoha deliberately hides Princess Tsunade somewhere and then creates some illusions...
With the strength of the strongest ninja village, it seems reasonable to want to hide the investigation from the Aizen family.
Sure enough, it’s another game of power and money.
"The food is served. Sasuke, wake up Xingyan and let him eat something before going to sleep."
Naruto saw that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so after the marinated barbecue was brought up, he quickly started to oil it and put it on the grill.
They definitely wouldn’t let Xingyan take action today, but they still had to let him eat something.
"Um... ready to eat?"
Xingyan was awakened by Sasuke. He opened his eyes and looked at the barbecued meat that was already emitting fragrance. He sat down obediently and waited for the barbecued meat to be placed on the plate in front of him.
"Eat your fill before going to sleep. Try this. Wait a minute, I'll give you some dip..."
Naruto dipped the grilled meat in the sauce and then fed it to Xingyan very carefully.
It was also his first time doing this, but he had seen it a few times before, when Xingyan didn't want to move, Muramasa or Huanwu would feed him.
Now that those two haven't shown up, he wants to give it a try, and it seems quite interesting.
“Not spicy.”
Xingyan opened his mouth and ate it, then gave an evaluation.
"More chili next time."
Naruto looked at Xingyan, whose cheeks were puffed up and who was slowly eating the barbecue. The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed to him, and he continued with a smile.
One person is happy eating, one person is happy feeding, but it doesn't seem to be the case for others.
Especially the Pig, Deer and Butterfly trio who were not far from them.
"I remember Xing Yan once said why he learned to cook..."
Nara Shikamaru sighed. Looking at the feeding over there, he finally understood.
Although they look small, they are obviously the same age, and they can enjoy feeding naturally...
Just the mentality of ignoring the gazes of people around him is something he absolutely cannot do.
"It's normal. We've seen it before. Xingyan can be held and fed by Muramasa while sleeping..."
Yamanaka Ino reminded Shikamaru not to forget certain scenes they had seen a long time ago.
"But now it's Naruto. Naruto is so noisy that he can naturally replace the position of Muramasa butler at this time..."
Shikamaru sighed. He really felt that the scene was a bit uncomfortable.
They all know who Naruto is. Now that the Aizen family has developed to the point where they can let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki become their young master's servant?
This is not right...
It shouldn't be like this!
At least in Konoha, this behavior is more like a show of control over the Nine-Tails, a provocation...
The Konoha high-level officials will not fail to discover it. This barbecue restaurant is not a secret base. If it is discovered, something big will happen!
