Kurayoshi looked at the purple shadow that was getting farther and farther away, touched the place where his cheek was kissed, and couldn't help but smile softly.

This feeling is not bad.

After locking the courtyard gate, Kurayoshi walked out onto the street.

There were more pedestrians on the road, but they were all in a hurry.

The post-war reconstruction has kept everyone busy.

However, everyone greeted Kurayoshi with a smile when they saw him.

His posture of using the wood to destroy the enemy is like a god descending into the world, and it is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every villager.

He is now the hero of Konoha.

Kurayoshi also responded to everyone with a smile, and seemed very sensible and polite.

Suddenly, a green figure stopped braking in front of him.

"Yo, the boy who uses the wooden escape, good morning!"

The man gave him a thumbs up with a big smile and flashed his white teeth that pierced the eyes of blind dogs.

"Mr. Kai, what's the matter?"

Kurayoshi had a gentle smile on his face and was very polite.

"I'm here to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"That's right!" Kai crossed his hands on his hips, straightened his body, and had a cheerful smile on his face, "In the previous qualifiers, you showed mercy to my disciple Xiao Li's subordinates, and you also helped me solve a big problem in the battlefield yesterday. ”

"Big trouble?"

Kurayoshi was a little confused.

He remembered that Kai's opponent was Markey, and although he was a tricky guy, he didn't deserve to be called a big problem.

It seems to see Kurayoshi's doubts, and he can explain: "At that time, in addition to Maki, there was also a sound shinobi named Yu Qi besieging me, although his strength was very good, but his ability was very troublesome, and he was annoyed to attack with Maki." ”

No, he added: "It's okay, you suddenly came out of the ground and killed it with your hand." ”

"I see!" Kurayoshi suddenly, "However, there is nothing to be thankful for this, everyone is a ninja of Konoha and a companion, isn't it?" ”

"That being said, I still want to thank you very much, it's a thank you gift."

As he spoke, Kai pulled out a bag of things from behind him.

Kurayoshi fixed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes jumped unnaturally, "Eh, forget about the thank you gift or something, this is too outward." ”

"No, no, no, this is my heart, please accept it."

"No, no, no, you're too outward."

After some pushing, Kurayoshi finally couldn't resist Kai's enthusiasm and accepted the green tights.

Seeing Kurayoshi accept the gift, Kai smiled contentedly, "Then, I'll take my leave." ”

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"You've got something on your head, I'll help you get rid of it."

As he spoke, Kurayoshi reached out and pulled Kai's head, and immediately tore off a handful of hair, causing Kai to scream in pain.

Kurayoshi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I overemphasized." ”

"It's okay, it's just a little hair, then, boy, see you next time!"

After saying that, Kai ran away.

Looking at the back of the long dust dragon, Kurayoshi shouted at him, "My name is Kurayoshi, and Mr. Kai will call me Kurayoshi in the future." ”

“OK！”

Kai replied without replying, and then disappeared from view in a puff of smoke.

"Kaike is such an interesting person!"

Kurayoshi couldn't help but laugh, put away Kai's hair and clothes, and continued walking towards the Hokage Building.

There were no further episodes this time.

Kurayoshi made it to the Hokage building without incident.

Miyome Hokage sat behind his desk as usual, as if everything was the same as before, except that his face was much haggard.

His body was no longer able to support the Hokage's work intensity, but he could only hold on for a while before a new Hokage was chosen.

There are a lot of people in the office.

A variety of clients and ninja squads who come to accept commissions.

Previously, in order to prevent the conspiracy of Otoshinobi and Shagakure, all the ninjas who came back stayed behind in Konoha. For a month, a huge number of tasks piled up that no one did.

Now, the war is over.

The tasks that had been piled up before were also spread out all at once, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.

Kurayoshi waited for the people in front of him to finish their work before he walked up.

But before he could put forward the purpose, Sarufei preemptively said: "Kurayoshi, your performance in the middle ninja exam is very good, enough to prove that you can be in charge of your own affairs, and I now officially appoint you as a middle ninja." ”

"Of course, the village is seriously understaffed right now, so I can't let you continue to go back to Class 7 to do chores, I'll see which team I transfer you to."

As he spoke, Sarufei took out the ninja formation table and looked at it.

Looking at the busy old man in front of him, Kurayoshi hesitated, but still said, "Grandpa Hokage, I'm here to apply for your permission to leave the village. ”

"Permission to leave the village!?"

Ape Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "You want to leave the village?" ”

"That's right." Kurayoshi took a deep breath and said, "This war has made me deeply feel my weakness, so I want to go out and practice. ”

"Nope." Ape Fei refused without thinking about it, "Now that the village is so busy, it is when there is a shortage of manpower, but you have to choose to leave, isn't this adding to the chaos?" ”

"Even if I am alone, it will not solve the shortage of manpower in the village." Kurayoshi insisted.

Looking at Kurayoshi, who was determined, Sarufei took a deep breath, "Do you have to leave now?" ”

"Hmm!" Kurayoshi nodded firmly.

"Whew!" Ape Fei took a long puff of his cigarette and spat it out fiercely, "I'll be honest with you, your performance yesterday was targeted by some ill-intentioned guys, and I hope you don't leave the village in the near future." ”

"Some small crumbs, I can still handle it." Kurayoshi said lightly: "Although I feel that I am very weak, most people are weaker than me, and the four generations of Kazekage, as well as the subordinate of Orochimaru, were dealt with by me in a few clicks." ”

“……”

Ape Fei was speechless.

Indeed, in terms of combat power, Kurayoshi may be the strongest in this village.

However, the victory or defeat of a ninja is not only based on combat power, but also on many other key factors.

"I naturally don't doubt your strength, but many things can't be solved by strength, and you need all-round quality." Ape Fei said, "If you can prove that you have the comprehensive quality of Shangnin, I will promise you to leave the village and travel and practice. ”

"Isn't the performance of the Zhongnin exam enough?"

"It's not enough, in addition to your outstanding combat power, your other aspects are at most only mid-ninja level performance."

Kurayoshi pondered slightly, and said: "The most direct proof of the comprehensive quality of the shinobi is to carry out A-level or above tasks alone, just use the task performance to prove it!" ”

"Do you see what I mean?" Ape Fei looked serious, "I'm just trying to keep you from leaving the village recently, if you use the task to actually test, then what's the point?" ”

"So, wouldn't it be better to just let me leave the village?"

"No way!"

"I must leave!"
