Chapter 851: The Only Candidate

"Hush. ”

After hearing Mizumon's explanation, Naruto crossed his arms and tilted his head away.

Although he did not fully understand Watergate's explanation, he was clear about the general meaning.

Since he was a child, Asami's head has been brighter than him, and when he was in ninja school, Shikamaru was always the smartest in the class.

Shinnori was a senior who was two years older than them, and the three of them became promoted to the middle ninja, and Naruto didn't have much of an opinion.

The only thing Naruto was unhappy about was that Sasuke also became a shinobi before him.

He turned his head away, just as Sasuke's gaze was also looking this way.

The corners of the latter's mouth lifted slightly, and although he tried his best to suppress it, his smug look was still inadvertently revealed.

Sasuke looked at Naruto at this moment, and the look in his eyes seemed to announce his victory.

Seeing this, Naruto clenched his teeth.

At the same time, he also secretly decided in his heart that he would definitely pass the next Zhongnin exam!

As is customary, the Chunin exam is held once every six months, and the reconstruction of Konoha took more than four months.

Most of the affairs in the village are now back to normal, but the next shinobi exam should be postponed for a while.

Seeing that Naruto didn't keep yelling, Mizuto smiled.

It seems that in the past few months, this child has matured a lot...

"Come and get your Zhongnin qualification. ”

Shuimen Dao, Shikamaru and the others stepped forward when they heard the news, and took the Zhongnin qualification certificate issued by the village from the former.

Sasuke was the last to take the credentials from Mizumon.

At this time, all his energy was focused on the things in his hands, and he didn't notice that there was a trace of solemnity and... I can't bear it.

...

After coming out of the Hokage Building, everyone dispersed.

"Qianyu, I'll accompany you to the equipment office to get the equipment. ”

Naruto looked at Shikamaru and Sasuke as they both walked in the direction of receiving the middle ninja vest, and said with a pause on his face.

Obviously, he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Qianyou shook his head lightly and said, "It's not in a hurry, and I don't have any tasks recently." ”

She deliberately changed the topic: "Didn't Uncle Hand Beat just now say that he was going to treat you? Let's go." ”

"But—" Naruto's tone softened.

"Let's go. Asa Yu tugged at his hand and walked in the direction of Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

...

"What does it matter, this time Naruto, you don't have anything to fail, it's just that the Hokage and the higher-ups of the village have other considerations, so there's no need to care. ”

The hand-hit boss's daughter, Calamus, smiled at Naruto and comforted.

"Naruto doesn't give up so easily, right? Seeing that Naruto was still silent, Calamus said again.

"Of course, next time I must become a middle ninja. Naruto suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Hmm. ”

Calamus nodded and said, "To be honest, the last Naruto match was amazing, and I don't even know when you have become so powerful. ”

"No more. ”

Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's really exciting, how can I say that Naruto is also the child of the fourth Hokage-sama!"

Hearing this, Naruto's eyes lit up with a slight gloom.

"You're here. ”

At that moment, another person entered the ramen shop, and at the familiar voice, Naruto and the Asa Yu siblings both turned their heads.

"Iruka-sensei. ”

The two immediately stood up from their seats.

Although it has been a long time since they graduated from the ninja school, the two of them are still very polite when they see their former teachers again.

When they were at school, Iruka took good care of them.

...

After Sasuke received the shinobi vest, he returned to the clan in high spirits.

He looks cold on the surface, but in fact he desperately wants to be recognized.

"Mom, I'm back. Walking into the hallway, Sasuke shouted softly.

"Welcome back. ”

Not long after the words fell, Mai Trin, who was busy in the kitchen, came out while wiping her freshly washed hands with her apron and said in a gentle voice.

At the same time, in another room next to the hall, Fugaku and Itachi also walked out.

Sasuke noticed that his father and brother, who had always been busy, had returned home so early today.

Then he turned around and said, "Dad, brother." ”

"Hmm. Fu Yue replied lightly.

Itachi stepped forward, with a doting smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations, Sasuke, you have become a middle ninja." ”

Zuo's assistant Nakaaki is holding the vest and qualification certificate that represents the shinobi rank.

So even if he doesn't say it, Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi all know.

"Thank you. Sasuke smiled, only in front of his own family would he change his personality on the outside.

At the same time, his eyes looked at Fu Yue with a little expectation.

"Yes, worthy of my son. ”

Fugaku also nodded, then walked up to Sasuke, stretched out his palm, and rubbed his hair.

This action of his made Sasuke's body freeze for a while.

Because since he was a child, Fu Yue has never made such intimate actions to him.

Gradually, though, Sasuke's cheeks also turned red.

At this time, he looked like an eleven-year-old child.

"I've been tired after a hard day, wait a minute, dinner will be ready soon. ”

Mikoto smiled at Sasuke and turned and walked into the kitchen.

...

"I'm done. ”

Sasuke put the dishes and chopsticks on the table very well, stood up, and said, "Mom, Dad, brother, I'll go out first." ”

This is a habit that Sasuke has been practicing for a long time, and he will practice for a while after dinner.

"I don't have any tasks lately, so you can rest for a few days. Mai Qin frowned slightly and said.

Sasuke shook his head and said, "You can't relax in your cultivation. ”

With that, Sasuke ran out of the house quickly.

After he left, at the dinner table, Mai Trin's face gradually became ugly.

The same goes for Fugaku and Itachi.

"Mom, you..."

Itachi wanted to say something to comfort Mikoto, but Fugaku was the first to speak, saying, "I know you're worried about Sasuke, but there's no way around it. ”

"He inherited the blood of the Uchiha clan, he is my son, and sooner or later he will have to take on all this. ”

"You don't want what happened a few months ago to happen again, do you?"

Mikoto nodded, she definitely didn't want to see the corpses of Konoha ninjas and civilians strewn across the mountains.

It was even more brutal than war.

"Before we can completely destroy the enemy, we need to be prepared with both hands, and we must know what their true purpose is..."

Fu Yue said in a heavy voice: "And now the only people who can achieve this condition are their two brothers. ”

He looked sideways at the ferrets beside him.

"Sasuke is Itachi's only younger brother, our son, and we should trust his abilities. ”
