Chapter 73: Looking Ahead at the Chunin Exam
Afterwards, Menma also went to the ninja tool shop again and replenished some shurikens, kunai and detonating charms. During this period of time, not only the tasks, but also the wear and tear of these ninja tools in daily practice And the consumption is still quite exaggerated.
In other words, Menma is more arrogant now, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to afford such expenses.
Of course, stocking up on more ninja tools is also to prepare for the next plan. It is already summer. When exactly will the Chunin Examination be held? The original book does not explain exactly which day it is, but it still gives a rough idea. According to Menma's own estimation, it should be in the recent period. The time difference will definitely not exceed half a month, and the necessary preparations need to be put on the agenda.
‘I hope you won’t disappoint me, Orochimaru-san. ’
Menma thought silently in his mind.
All his plans were based on the actions of this former Sannin.
Menma now wants to see the "Konoha Collapse Plan" more eagerly than anyone else.
As usual, it is even better to develop it more violently than in the original work. Only in that way can he easily leave the Hidden Leaf Village without having to worry about too many pursuers.
"Huh? This chakra aura?"
Just as Menma was returning to his home position, before a corner, he sensed a few chakra auras and a slightly intense noise, and Menma couldn't help but step forward. After a pause, a look of surprise appeared in his pupils.
"Could it be?"
When a certain thought appeared in Menma's mind, he subconsciously quickened his pace.
Turned corner.
The next second.
I saw a few familiar figures.
"Is that true?"
There were not only the three familiar teammates, but also the three short figures hiding behind Naruto and Sakura, and the most crucial two figures with their backs to him, although it was the 'first time' they saw them.
But Menma could identify the two figures at a glance.
'Kankuro, Temari! ’
The biological children of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the One-Tail Jinchuuriki - Gaara's brother and sister.
The moment I saw these two people.
Menma was certain of the fact that the Chuunin Exams had arrived.
"Damn you brat, how dare you sneak up on me!? I must make you look good!"
Kankuro stared at Sasuke, who was sitting on the tree trunk with an expressionless face, with a vicious expression. He touched his right hand back, as if he was going to take action right here.
"Kankuro!"
After seeing this, Temari's expression changed and she immediately shouted sharply.
Kankuro, who woke up directly, also showed a look of annoyance. Although he stopped what he was doing, he still stared at Sasuke and Naruto with vicious eyes.
Before Temari, Kankuro and others could continue to say something.
Next is Gaara's gorgeous appearance.
It unfolded exactly as in the original work, and then two waves of people dispersed.
Menma has always been hiding in the shadows and has not come out. It is impossible for these people below to sense Menma's aura.
It wasn't until everyone left that Menma stepped out with a touch of uncontrollable joy.
'finally coming? Chunin exam! ! ’
Just now I was wondering how long it would be before the Chunin Examination came, but I didn't expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.
Gaara and the others have already arrived at Konoha Hidden Village.
It proves that the Chuunin Exam is just around the corner.
Why wouldn't Menma feel excited? Menma no longer wanted to stay in this village that was full of malice towards him, 12 years, exactly 12 years.
‘I can finally leave here! ! ’
Menma took a deep breath and clenched his hands fiercely at this moment.
The successive arrival of reference personnel from major ninja villages also made Konoha Hidden Village more lively.
Even some people in the village who are not usually so sensitive will clearly realize that their ninja village may be about to usher in a lively festival, and the genin who have already had similar experiences have received clear notifications from their captains. Everyone started gearing up to prepare for the upcoming chunin exams.
Menma, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura also received Kakashi's summons order the next day.
Regarding this recruitment, apart from Menma who was well aware of it, the other three people also had some guesses.
After all, they had just met the trio from Sunagakure Village yesterday, so they naturally had some expectations for the Chuunin Exam.
Naturally, the other three people from Team 7 who gathered also noticed Menma's new look.
There's nothing wrong with the second pillar, just look at it more.
"Menma-kun, have you changed your clothes?"
Sakura's appearance is different. In the past, her appearance was hindered by her clothes.
Sakura didn't pay attention to Menma's appearance.
After seeing the face numb now with a new look, almost as if the seal had been lifted.
Sakura just widened her eyes, and subconsciously compared Menma with Sasuke next to her. Even Sakura, who has always been a staunch Sasuke fan, had to admit at this moment that just based on the appearance of this outfit, Ma is no longer inferior to her beloved Sasuke.
And the fiery red shawl hair is actually very eye-catching.
"Well, the previous outfit wasn't very beautiful. I made a small fortune some time ago, so I changed my outfit by the way."
Menma also smiled slightly and said.
"Yeah, yeah, my previous clothes really didn't look good. They completely covered up Menma-kun's charm!"
Sakura nodded crazily like a chicken pecking at rice.
If it weren't for the last bit of reserve that controlled her, Sakura would have become a nymphomaniac again.
"Tsk, tsk, it does look very different like this, Menma, you look much more handsome than before!"
Naruto also extended his thumb and said with a smile.
"Thanks."
"Hey, can you tell me which store Menmazu bought her clothes from? I want to take a look too."
"Well, I made this custom-made."
"Hey, is it true? Really?"
"Just here..."
And that was when Naruto and Sakura were asking a little enthusiastically about some details of Menma's new clothes.
"Whoosh."
In the left position.
Kakashi's figure also suddenly appeared in a flash.
At this moment, there were still five or six minutes left before the agreed time. When I saw that Kakashi was not late today and even arrived early.
Everyone in Class 7 was stunned subconsciously.
Kakashi was also stunned for a moment when he saw Menma's new look, although it was not blonde, but red hair.
But it must be said that at that moment, in Kakashi's eyes, Menma's figure really overlapped with that of the Fourth Hokage for a moment.
After all, Naruto's face is more similar to Kushina's, while Menma is more or less similar to Minato.
This also caused Kakashi to have a rare brief moment of confusion.
