Naruto: First Love

Chapter 311 Extra: Warm Minato Namikaze

"Ah, it's okay. I'm sorry for making Jiraiya-sensei worried." Ye Xue lowered her brows and apologized to him gently. "Teacher, I want to... join the Anbu."

"Anbu? Why?" Jiraiya didn't know much about the Anbu, but Konoha was now in its golden age. The Third Hokage was in the light and Danzo was in the dark. He had also heard of Danzo's name.

Ye Xue remained silent and did not answer. Jiraiya sighed and stopped asking.

Bai Yuesheng didn't feel the atmosphere around Ye Xue, but came over happily. "I'm glad that Ye Xue is okay. By the way, why are your eyes..."

Blinking slightly, looking through her eyelashes at Minato who was the only one who hadn't spoken yet, Ye Xue's heart twitched, and she managed to pull out an arc, "Thank you for your concern. Next, I have to prepare for the Chunin Exam. I will go back to training first."

Watching Ye Xue leave like this, Shui Men somehow grabbed her hand. It was not until Ye Xue's eyes flashed and she looked at him with faint expectation that he realized what he had done.

Seeing the three teachers and students staring at him, Minato blushed slightly, coughed unnaturally, and covered it up by saying: "You can pass the Chunin Exam, don't worry too much."

Hearing this, Ye Xue was a little disappointed. Was it just an ordinary blessing from a teammate? However, this was enough! Her face was as bright as a flower, and there were star-like lights in her black and white eyes. Her long hair fluttered in the breeze, and her voice was hoarse as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. "Thank you, I understand."

After saying this, he left completely without any hesitation.

If nothing can be changed, she must become stronger, strong enough to protect Minato!

She went home, quickly tidied herself up, tied her hair up, and ran as fast as she could towards the Hokage Building.

"Shiki Fuujin?" Hearing the ninjutsu she proposed, the Sandaime refused without a second thought, "No, Shiki Fuujin is a forbidden jutsu, you shouldn't learn it!"

"But..." Ye Xue still wanted to fight for it.

Sandai slammed the table, not giving her a chance to retort, "No buts!"

Tsk! If you don’t want to teach me, then find someone else. You are not the only one who knows this forbidden technique! Ye Xue snorted coldly and turned away.

Watching her leave, the Sandai, holding his pipe in his mouth, was silent for a while, and called Jiraiya.

Hearing that his female disciple was going to learn forbidden techniques, Jiraiya was no longer calm. He thought to himself that Yexue might have been hit hard, and he needed to make her change from her current state! But how should he do it?

……

But the fact is, she really can't find anyone else who can use the Demonic Fuujin, and she doesn't want to go to Kushina to learn.

During these days, he refused Jiraiya's training and stayed at home alone to study sealing techniques and bloodline limits. When he finally couldn't bear it anymore, he left the residence with panda eyes.

As soon as I went out, I saw the brilliant golden light. I closed the door reflexively and jumped out of the window. I looked around and didn't see the man. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked in another direction.

"Yexue." A gentle voice sounded from behind her, causing her body to stiffen and she ran away without any image.

But apparently, she forgot that Minato's strength is his speed.

"Why are you running away?" Stopping her in the alley, Minato frowned, a hint of sadness in his tone.

She thought she must have heard it wrong, so she blinked her eyes and refused to admit that she had run away. "Who said I ran away? I just wanted to go shopping, who knew you would chase me..."

Looking at Ye Xue, whose face was slightly red from panting due to running away, Minato's eyes flashed with a smile, and he suddenly touched her head and smiled with his head tilted. "Well, I believe you didn't run away. You must have been feeling suffocated after not going out for so long. It's good to go out for a walk."

I thought Minato would refute, but I didn't expect him to follow her words and think about her so gently. Ye Xue's eyes were sore and tears flowed out.

Minato was stunned. Seeing her crying, he felt a little helpless, "No...Are you okay?"

Shaking her head, Ye Xue squatted down. All the confusion she had been feeling for so long disappeared when she saw him.

Seeing that she showed no sign of stopping, Minato sighed slightly, circled her head, and pressed it into his arms. "Cry, it will make you feel better."

He clearly had no idea why Ye Xue was sad, he just felt that as they were all companions, he didn't want to see Ye Xue cry.

……

Since that day, Ye Xue continued to train as usual. He trained when it was time to train, and the other three were no longer worried. Only Jiraiya had a few more thoughts in his mind.

After training, she would leave alone, either to the library or to the Hokage Building.

Unfortunately, she never found any clues about the Shiki Fuujin, and finally had to turn to the Tailed Beasts. As long as the Nine-Tails doesn't come out, as long as Obito doesn't die, Madara can't use him, and Rin doesn't die, it will be fine!

So, putting aside the sealing technique, she decided to focus on tracking down Madara's whereabouts and looking for caves where people could be hidden, while also keeping a close eye on the Uchiha clan.

Since the Chunin Exams were approaching and Mikoto hadn't married into the Uchiha family yet, he had no legitimate reason to look for her now, so he focused on the Chunin Exams.

The Chunin examination is quite strict during this period, and the passing rate is about 20%! Currently, it is not based on teamwork or anything, but depends entirely on personal ability.

The first exam was of course a written exam. Ye Xue and Minato, who always performed well in written exams, passed as expected, but Bai Yuesheng had some problems. Although he passed, he ranked last. The examiners in charge of the Chunin Exam gave different opinions on the last question, some thought it was right, and some thought it was wrong. In order to avoid disputes, it was decided that he would pass, but the results of the last three levels would determine whether he could become a Chunin.

"I am Nara Yoshino, the examiner of the second test. The content of this test is that you must start from here and gather at the top of the mountain behind within five minutes. Those who fail to reach the top within the fixed time will be eliminated. You can choose any route. You are not allowed to destroy the village buildings or disturb ordinary villagers!"

A female examiner with black hair and wearing a green Chunin vest stood in the school square, looking at the candidates, pointing to the top of the mountain on Hokage Rock, and spoke loudly.

"Comparing speed?" Bai Yuesheng couldn't believe it, his speed was not that good. Although Ye Xue forced him to practice his speed several times, under normal circumstances, he could definitely get there in five minutes. But looking at the many villagers in the village, not only had they surrounded the school, but there were also so many Chunins standing on the roof, wasn't it to stop them?
Don't destroy village buildings, don't disturb ordinary villagers! It's too difficult, right?
Ye Xue looked at the Chunins in green vests, each holding a pen and paper, as if planning to record something, and was a little confused. If it was just a test of speed, then they could just rush up from under the Hokage Rock. It wouldn't take five minutes at all, maybe one minute would be enough? Then there was a possibility that this test was not only about speed, but also about other things!
