Chapter 35: The Schedule
"Against Smoker, he is the most powerful natural Devil Fruit ability, Naruto, are you sure?"
Rogge still doesn't know what level Naruto's strength has reached now, if it's just the strength that has just graduated from the ninja school, then I'm afraid it will be impossible to defeat Smoker who has eaten the natural smoke fruit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sure!"
Naruto said with a chuckle.
"You know...... I'm going to be the Hokage's man! ”
Hearing those familiar words, Rogge suddenly felt a little dazed, and the indescribable sense of reality made him feel that he had even integrated into this world, and there was no longer the alienation he had just crossed over.
"Naruto, you're going to be Hokage?"
Rog said as he looked at Naruto.
"Definitely!"
Naruto said to Rog as a matter of course.
"I'm a super good ninja who will inherit the great name of 'Hokage' sooner or later!"
If it was anyone else, even Naruto's buddies Sasuke and Sakura, they might have thought he was talking big, but Rog believed him from the bottom of his heart.
This has nothing to do with reading the "Naruto" manga before crossing over, and "predicting" in advance that Naruto Uzumaki will eventually meet the seventh Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, but Rogge's identification with Naruto's optimistic and positive attitude anytime and anywhere, and always maintaining a passionate attitude!
"Come on!"
Rog smiled and gave Naruto a thumbs up and encouragement.
"Naruto, you're sure you can!"
Speaking of which, Naruto's optimism and enthusiasm are the same as Luffy's, and it is estimated that this is also an important reason why they eventually became Hokage and One Piece!
"You're Naruto, aren't you? They estimate it will take a while, and I'll take the six of you to dinner first. ”
At this time, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel came over and said to Rogge and Naruto, the six of them.
Thinking about it, this time the Konoha Ninja Village of the Fire Country came down from the Red Earth Continent and came all the way to the Navy Headquarters, it was definitely not as simple as playing a few exchange matches, but those big things had nothing to do with Rogge and them, so naturally there was no need for them to stay in the conference room.
"Yay! I've been hungry for a long time. ”
Naruto was completely unkind, and immediately cheered happily when he heard that he could go to dinner.
Seeing Naruto's enthusiastic appearance, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel also smiled rarely, patted Rog on the shoulder, and motioned for the six of them to follow him.
Inside the canteen of the Navy Headquarters
"Hmm...... Hmm...... It's delicious......"
Naruto was burying his head and gulping down a large stack of plates next to him.
"Let's go and eat! We've got an unlimited supply here! ”
Sitting across from Naruto, Rogge likewise gobbled it up.
At the beginning of the practice of the "Navy Six Style", it should be because the physical consumption began to increase, Rogge found that he also became extremely able to eat, under normal circumstances, he could eat the amount of three or five people, this time with Naruto's stimulation, it was even more extraordinarily long, eating the amount of nearly ten people.
"What a shame!"
On the chair behind Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura both helplessly put their hands on their foreheads and thought to themselves.
If it wasn't at the Navy Headquarters, they really wanted to pretend they didn't know Naruto.
"Good! Then I'll have three more bowls! ”
After hearing Rogge say that it was available in unlimited quantities, Naruto finally looked up from the food and said to the chef next to him with his eyes shining.
"The seafood ramen here is so delicious! It's almost as good as the Ichiraku ramen in our village! ”
Thinking of the big bowl of barbecued pork rib ramen in the Ichiraku Noodle Restaurant, Naruto couldn't help but drool, since he took over the task in the village until now, he has not eaten Ichiraku ramen for more than a month, and at this time, there is seafood ramen whose taste is second only to Ichiraku ramen, which will naturally make him eat a lot.
"If you have a chance, take me to try the Ichiraku ramen in your village!"
Rog said to Naruto after sweeping the food off his plate.
For the Ichiraku ramen in the Konoha Ninja Village, Rogge is also very interested, anyway, the main plot of the One Piece World is still at least ten years away from the opening, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the Konoha Ninja Village to see.
"Yes, yes! I'll treat you then! ”
Naruto patted his chest and said very boldly.
……
Afternoon.
In a school yard behind the Navy Headquarters building.
Surrounded by dense forests, this school site is extremely secluded, and even Smoker, who has been in the spotlight since he entered the navy, is here for the first time.
"Is this the place where the exchange tournament is held?"
Rog glanced around, thinking to himself.
Obviously, this exchange with the ninjas from the Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire on the Red Earth Continent was an extremely secret diplomatic event, even if it was just a contest between the low-level naval recruits and the lower ninjas of the two sides, it could not be openly displayed.
That's normal.
Although it is a low-level competition of force between the two, there is also a face-saving problem, no matter which side loses, it is not very good to be public.
That's why the Navy Headquarters will arrange the exchange competition in this secret school grounds.
"Get ready to get started!"
The Sengoku Shogun gestured to Kakashi, the mentor of Sasuke and the three, and after seeing that the other party had no objections, he turned to Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel and said.
"Yes, Sengoku-sama!"
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel answered with a dignified voice, and immediately walked up to Rogge and the six of them.
"Do you choose your opponents, or do you draw lots fairly?"
It stands to reason that a lottery is the best way to go. But whether it is on his side or on the side of the ninjas of Konoha Village, it seems that there is an exceptionally weak point, that is, Tina and Haruno Sakura, so for the sake of the enjoyment and intensity of the game, the draw may not have been chosen by itself.
"I'm going to hit that white-haired guy!"
As soon as Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's words fell, Naruto stood up directly and pointed at Smoker and said.
"Huh?"
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled.
Although he wanted this shinobi named Naruto Uzumaki to fight against Rog, and then Smoker to fight Sasuke Uchiha over there, but since this kid had already taken the initiative to declare war, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel simply arranged it.
"Okay, I'll put you up against Smoker!"
After saying this, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel looked at Rogge and said to the latter.
"Then Rogge, you will play against Sasuke Uchiha on their side, Tina, you will fight Sakura Haruno, you have no problem with this arrangement, right?"
Smoker clasped his hands on his chest and nodded.
On the other side, Sasuke Uchiha's face lifted from the shadows of the dense forest, glanced at Rog expressionlessly, and nodded in the same way.
As for Sakura Haruno and Tina, they looked at each other.
"It's okay if it's okay."
Lieutenant General Squirrel clapped his hands, keeping everyone's eyes focused on him.
"Then the first five minutes of this exchange match will start, and Tina will play against Sakura Haruno!"
After signaling to the Warring States General, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel directly announced the schedule of this exchange competition.
