Chapter 70 Metro's Disciples
"Sir Naruto, why is this?"
Kakashi hurriedly asked: "You are also very clear that the seventh class can complete so many tasks, all thanks to Naruto's rich knowledge and superb shadow clone. It can be said that he has completed more than 4,000 tasks independently. How can such an excellent talent not give him the opportunity to be promoted to Zhongnin?"
Sarutobi Hinazo said distressedly: "It is precisely because he is so excellent that I can't bear to let him take the Chunin exam! Do you know how important Naruto is? Not only did he create tens of millions of taels of commission income for the village in two months, but he also raised the reputation of Konoha Village to a new level. The number of tasks undertaken by our mission increased by 300% compared with the same period last year, a triple increase!"
Kakashi was stunned, and then he realized the concerns of Lord Naruto. There are casualties in the Chunin exam, especially the second stage of the Death Forest's World Scroll. The Shinin was allowed to kill each other. Even if he killed ninjas in other villages, he would not be held accountable.
The subsequent ninja battle is not bad, with the Shangini on the side, and once there is danger, you can immediately come forward to stop it, but the Death Forest's scroll is difficult to control. If you insist on sending the Shangini into the Death Forest to secretly protect it, it will seem that the motivation of Konoha Village to hold the Chunini exam is impure, and it is unfair to use your hands and feet behind your back, which is unfair.
Sarutobi Hinazon smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If possible, I wish I could send twenty Anbe ninjas to protect Naruto personally, and I didn't want him to make any mistakes. However, the Chunin exam is a fair platform, but it is impossible to treat any candidate differently. Therefore, for safety reasons, please don't let Naruto participate."
"But, this is not fair to Naruto!"
Kakashi argued: "He is also a ninja with extraordinary strength. He is better worried about his safety than those candidates! I have asked Naruto before. He is very interested in the Chunin exam and believes that this is a practical opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to practical combat. He cannot tie him to the common affairs just because he is extremely good at ordinary affairs and let him be used as Konoha's money tree."
Everyone in the audience was shocked when they heard the argument between Kakashi and Sarutobi Hinasen. There were also many ninjas who were not very familiar with Naruto, and they hurriedly asked the people around them.
"Who is Naruto? I only heard that the accidental shooting of the main gun of the Dragon Kingdom warship was related to him before, so why is his identity so important now?"
"Yes, I have been performing missions abroad recently and have just returned shortly. What's going on? The eldest lady of the Hinata family also took the Chunin exam? Naruto didn't say anything. Is he more noble than the eldest lady of the Hinata family?"
"It's not the same thing. The eldest lady of the Hinata family is nothing more than a noble family. Naruto has outstanding abilities. He completed more than 4,000 D-level tasks in two months, earned tens of millions of taels of commission, and also made many powerful and wealthy people through the mission. He is highly respected by the people. He is indeed sensitive to his identity. If something happens, Konoha's losses will be too great."
...
Naruto is a secret that only a few Kanin and Konoha advisors know, and most ninjas are not aware of it, so they did not mention this.
"The money tree is too much!"
Sarutobi Hinazo said angrily: "Dragon Chamber of Commerce invested in Konoha 10 trillion taels. Will I care about those tens of millions of taels? A special talent like Naruto, let alone a mere Chunin, giving him a special nin position is enough! I can promote him directly in the name of Naruto. What's the harm in not taking the Chunin exam?"
"This is different!" Kakashi refused to give in: "There is a big difference between directly promoting and passing the exam to obtain the qualification of Zhongnin. Doing so will make the same class's Xianin look at Naruto differently, and suspicious of him, making him unable to integrate into the group. He has suffered such pain before. Will he continue to endure it in the future?"
Sarutobi Hirakoto smoked silently.
What Kakashi said is also a bit reasonable. People in the ninja world do have such a strange temperament. They have a serious herd mentality and like to reject unique people.
Naruto was discriminated against by the masses who did not know the truth because of his identity as the Nine-Tail Tsukiriki. His childhood was very depressed. It was rare that he was naturally open-minded and his mind was not distorted. If he did not take the Chunin exam and was directly promoted to a special Shangnin, he would once again become an alternative among the same ninjas and would likely encounter similar rejection in his childhood.
However, if Naruto took risks, Sarutobi Hinazon was really reluctant to let him go. If Naruto died in the Chunin exam or was kidnapped by ninjas from other countries to serve them, the losses of Konoha Village would be extraordinary.
Not to mention the interruption of the "consulting company" business that was in full swing just now, with the efforts of Naruto and the help of elite hot girls in various fields, the growth rate of Konoha's private industry and commerce has increased by more than 20 percentage points. He has influenced the development of Konoha's economy with one person.
On the one hand, it will aggrieved Naruto, and on the other hand, it is the overall interests of Konoha Village. Putting the two on the scale, it is really difficult to judge which aspect is more important.
"I have a way to get the best of both worlds."
Just as Sarutobi Hizun and Kakashi were in a stalemate, a man walked out of the Ueninchu and shouted: "You can let Naruto take the exam without worrying about his personal safety."
Kakashi and Sarutobi Hinaru hurriedly looked in the voice and found that the person who spoke was the Konoha Jingwu hero Metro.
"After a year of hard work, my three cute apprentices have greatly improved their strength. Isn't it enough to take the Chunin Exam this year, so I can just let them secretly protect Naruto during the exam?"
Metro said with a smile, bared his white teeth, bared.
Sarutobi Hinazon thought for a while and said, "What I am worried about is not the Shinin who takes the exam, but the Shinin who takes the exam. Now Naruto's reputation has spread. There is information that many Shinincubs want to kidnap or assassinate him. Your students may have reached the level of Shinin. It is easy to deal with Shinin who takes the exam, but they can't deal with Shinin."
Metro put his hands on his hips and proudly said: "It's not me who brags about it. My lovely disciples have made great progress under the spur of my love! Anyone who pulls out will have the strength of the Supreme Ninja. The best of them already have the strength of the Shadow-level strength! The three of them join forces, Naruto, you may not be your opponent!"
There are many ninjas who have heard of the rumors that Metro has cruelly trained his subordinates. Even Shikamaru, a student, has achieved the first place in physical skills in the ninja school graduation exam after a year of training.
Shikamaru's father, Nara Kazuki, once sighed when drinking with his colleagues, saying that his physical skills are no longer as good as his son. You should know that Nara Kazuki is a young ninja. Although he is not praised for his physical skills, no matter how bad his physical skills are, it is impossible to be much worse.
Sarutobi Hinazo was not angry with Metro's offensive words, but his eyes lit up. Even if Metro's disciples only have Shikamaru's physical skills on average, they should not be underestimated. When the three of them joined forces, they could only fight against ordinary ninjas and delay time and wait for rescue.
At that time, more Anbe ninja reinforcements will be arranged around the Death Forest. Once a situation occurs, you will immediately arrive at the site of the incident when you see the fireworks signal, and you can rescue Naruto with all his skulls!
"Very good, then let's arrange it like this! Naruto can take the Chunin exam."
Sarutobi Hinazo nodded and said, "Metero went back to issue secret orders to his subordinates. They took the exam second, and protecting Naruto's safety during the exam is the top priority."
