Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"Eight is too few!"

Kakashi frowned.

He was not worried about his own safety, but in this way, the Hokage's own bodyguard would...

"Eight people is already the maximum number of people that can be produced after calculation."

On the side, Nara Shikaku replied calmly, without a hint of emotion.

"Okay! Then let me be the bodyguard of Lord Hokage!"

Metkai showed his white teeth and said with a sunny face.

In his opinion, since the guards have been split up, he, who is also in the final arena, naturally has to do his part.

However, how could he, who was born as a commoner, understand.

As soon as these words came out, the heads of the major families unanimously turned their attention to the Third Hokage.

Curious, tentative, and greedy eyes stared at the old face of the wolf leader, trying to catch even a trace of fear and hesitation from it.

"Haha! I'm being underestimated." The Hokage laughed heartily, "As the strongest 'Kage' in the village, do you also need to be protected as an old man?"

"Yes, this is Hokage-sama who is known as the Doctor of Ninjutsu!"

Kakashi said in time.

"Ah, that's right."

Metkai rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Everyone burst into hearty laughter.

For a time, the venue was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Chapter 44 Naruto’s hesitation

"Finally, the composition of the enemy is likely to be the Sunagakure Ninja Village and the Oto Ninja Village. Although the existing evidence cannot directly accuse the confrontation, in terms of war preparations, all parties can make corresponding combat preparations based on the characteristics of the enemy."

Naruto said solemnly.

"As a ninja, the combat manual has been engraved in my heart. It is our duty to protect Konoha! Please!"

"it is good!"

Everyone was equally motivated.

After the meeting, a look of exhaustion flashed in the Hokage's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance, and he turned around and entered the inner court.

In the inner courtyard, the real top group of Konoha Hidden Ninja Village, Mito Kadeni, Koharu, and Danzo Shimura were sitting. Have been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mito Menyan said first.

The third generation waved his hand, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The sealing squad cannot take on such a big job. I'm afraid it's really time to need the help of a few comrades."

"No, the current situation is troubled and the situation is precarious. At this moment, if all the leaders encounter something unexpected, I am afraid that the ice will really melt away and everything will be lost."

Mito Menyan was very decisive and rejected the third generation's request.

"Yan is right."

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

"I think back then, our teacher, the second-generation Hokage, had a rough road and finally succeeded. It was not easy to achieve today's peace and prosperity. Protecting this achievement is the common mission of the four of us."

Mitomon En continued.

"Yan is right."

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

"Do you know this sentence?"

Shimura Danzo said dissatisfied.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's head gradually lowered, and he turned his attention to Shimura Danzo.

His childhood playmate, his teenage comrade-in-arms, his young political opponent, his auxiliary hand, and his last hope.

I saw the latter looking at him in the same way and said solemnly:

"You are the Konoha bathing in the sun, and I am the root buried deep in the ground."

Hiruzen understood.

But there was one more thing Danzo didn't say.

After the branches and leaves are cut off, the tree can still live.

The root system is severed and it cannot survive.

In this world, is there any reason to sacrifice the roots and preserve the branches and leaves?

In the early morning, Sasuke was woken up by Jiraiya's loud voice.

"Get up! Today is the Chuunin Exam finals! Go next door and call Naruto!"

Sasuke shook his head, driving the sleepiness out of his head.

His eyes instantly became firm.

The event is approaching, and the streets are already full of excitement.

Jugglers from other places were throwing bottles, clowns were selling bunches of balloons, an old man selling candy figures was hawking his wares along the street, and children were running around, creating a festive atmosphere.

"Wow, this is also on point."

Looking at the beauties coming and going, Jiraiya ran around, extremely excited.

Sasuke's eyes were firm, while Naruto looked worried.

In the arena, the welcome ceremony has begun.

It is said that there was also a grand singing and dancing performance, as well as speeches from the Hokage, Kazekage, and even the great names of the Fire Country.

Since Jiraiya was in high spirits, Sasuke and Naruto were not in a hurry to enter and walked around the periphery to take a look.

"Huh? What is this?"

Naruto asked.

Jiraiya disappeared for a while and then came back with a few colorful lottery tickets in his hand.

"Huh? It's nothing!"

Jiraiya quickly hid himself.

"what the hell!"

Naruto's interest was aroused and he reached out to grab it. Jiraiya dodged in a fancy way. Naruto directly used the tickling magic skill. Jiraiya laughed and accidentally dropped the lottery ticket to the ground.

Naruto quickly picked it up, and Jiraiya was unable to stop him. He saw the words written on it:

"Guess with prizes!

已购

Uchiha Sasuke, 100 notes

Odds: 1.25:1”

"What, it turns out to be gambling tickets."

"Yeah, hahaha, entertainment, some entertainment." Jiraiya laughed and reached out to take it back.

Naruto picked up the lottery tickets scattered on the ground and was about to return them to Jiraiya, only to see that it was written on each lottery ticket.

"Purchased, Uchiha Sasuke, 500 notes."

"Purchased, Uchiha Sasuke, 100 notes."

"What! Didn't you place any bets on me?!"

Naruto said dissatisfied.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the player odds list on the back of the lottery ticket.

“Odds are wandering

1.25:1, Uchiha Sasuke;

3.92:1, Gaara:

6.21:1, Temari;

7.01:1, Shino Aburame;

7.14: 1, Inuzuka Kiba;

8.91:1, Nara Shikamaru;

420:1, Rock Lee;

670:1, Uzumaki Naruto. "

Naruto stood there in a daze, the three numbers 670 circling in his mind for a long time, almost petrified.

"I told you not to look at it." Jiraiya muttered softly.

The lottery ticket vendors on the side are still selling tickets.

"You can also take a look at Uzumaki Naruto. The current odds are 720:1. It's a good time to use your small fortune to make a big gain! What? Do you really not consider it? Sigh."

Surprisingly, it’s still falling

"I'll buy one! Uzumaki Naruto."

"Great! You are really discerning. I wish you good luck in gambling!"
