"Hokage-sama, why is that?"

Kakashi hurriedly asked, "You also know very well that the seventh class can complete so many tasks, thanks to Naruto's rich knowledge and use of the supernatural shadow clone, it can be said that he has completed more than four thousand tasks independently, such an excellent talent, how can he not be given the opportunity to be promoted to the middle ninja?" ”

Sarutobi said distressedly: "It is precisely because he is so good that I am reluctant to let him take the Zhongnin exam!" Do you know how important Naruto is? He not only created tens of millions of taels of commission income for the village in two months, but also raised the prestige of Konoha Village to a new height, and the number of tasks we undertook increased by 300% compared to the same period last year, a threefold increase! ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Hokage-sama's concerns, there are casualties in the middle ninja exam, especially in the second stage of the death forest to seize the heaven and earth scroll, allowing the lower ninjas to kill each other, even if they kill the ninjas of other villages, they will not be held responsible.

The follow-up ninja battle link is okay, there is a shinobi on the side to supervise, once there is danger, you can immediately step forward to block it, but the link of the death forest to seize the scroll is difficult to control, if you insist on sending the ninja to sneak into the death forest to protect secretly, it seems that the motive of Konoha Village to hold the middle ninja exam is not pure, and it is unfair to use hands and feet behind the scenes.

Sarutobi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "If I can, I would like to send twenty dark ninjas to protect Naruto closely, I don't want him to have the slightest mistake, but the middle ninja exam is a fair platform, but it is impossible to treat any candidate differently, so, for safety reasons, it is better not to let Naruto participate." ”

"But, it's not fair to Naruto!"

Kakashi argued, "He's also a ninja with extraordinary strength, so it's better to worry about his safety than for those candidates!" I've asked Naruto's opinion before, and he's very interested in the Chunin exam, thinking that it's a practical opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to actual combat, and he can't be tied to the general affairs because he is extremely good at general affairs, and let him be a cash cow for Konoha . ”

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the argument between Kakashi and Sarutobi, and there were also many ninjas who were not very familiar with Naruto, so they hurriedly asked the people around them.

"Who the hell is Naruto? I only heard that the main gun of the Dragon Nation battleship was related to him by mistake before, why has his identity become so important now? ”

"yes, I've been on a mission abroad lately, and I've only been back for a short time, what's going on? Didn't the eldest lady of the Hyuga family also take the middle ninja exam, Hokage-sama didn't say anything, is he more noble than the eldest lady of the Hyuga family? ”

"It's not the same thing, the eldest lady of the Hyuga family is nothing more than a noble birth, Naruto is too outstanding, she has completed more than 4,000 D-level tasks in two months, earned tens of millions of taels of commissions, and has also made a lot of powerful and rich people through the mission, she is extremely respected by the people, and she is indeed sensitive to identity, in case something happens, Konoha's loss will be too great."

……

Naruto is a Nine-Tails Pillar Force belongs to a secret that only a few Kamishinobi and Konoha advisors know, and most ninjas don't know about it, so they don't mention this aspect of it.

"The idea of a cash cow is too much!"

Ape Feiri said angrily: "The Dragon Chamber of Commerce invested ten trillion taels in Konoha taels, would I care about those tens of millions of taels?" A special talent like Naruto, not to mention a mere mid-ninja, it's enough to give him a special ninja position! I can directly promote him in the name of the Hokage, so what's the harm if I don't take the shinobi exam? ”

"It's different!" Kakashi didn't give an inch: "There is a big difference between being promoted directly and passing the exam to obtain the qualification of the middle ninja, doing so will make the lower shinobi of the same class look at Naruto differently, become suspicious of him, and make him unable to integrate into the collective, he has suffered like this before, will he continue to endure it in the future?" ”

Ape Feiri chopped his head and smoked, silent.

There is also some truth in what Kakashi said, ninja people do have such a strange temperament, and they have a serious herd mentality, and they like to exclude people who are different.

Naruto was discriminated against by the masses who didn't know the truth because of the identity of the nine-tailed pillar force.,Childhood was very depressing.,It's rare that he is naturally open-minded.,The heart is not distorted.,If you don't take the middle ninja exam.,Directly promoted to a special ninja.,It's once again an alternative among the ninjas of the same class.,It's likely to suffer similar rejection in childhood.。

However, let Naruto be in danger, Ape Fei Sun Slash is really a little reluctant, if Naruto dies in the middle ninja exam, or is kidnapped by ninjas from other countries to serve them, the loss of Konoha Village is not ordinary.

Not to mention the interruption of the business of the "consulting company" that was in full swing at the beginning, in the past two months, with the efforts of Naruto and the help of elite babes in various fields, the economic growth rate of Konoha private industry and commerce has increased by more than 20 percentage points, and he has influenced the economic development of Konoha by himself.

On the one hand, Naruto will be wronged, and on the other hand, the overall interests of Konoha Village, the two are on the scale, and it is really difficult to judge which aspect is more important.

"I've got the best of both worlds."

Just when Sarutobi Hizashi and Kakashi were at an impasse in their dispute, Kamininaka stepped out and said loudly, "I can let Naruto take the exam without worrying about his personal safety." ”

Kakashi and Sarutobi hurriedly followed the sound and found that the person who spoke was none other than Konoha Jingwu hero Matro.

"My three lovely apprentices have greatly improved their strength after a year of hard work, and they are also taking the middle ninja exam this year, so why don't they secretly protect Naruto during the exam?"

Metro said with a smile as he bared his glittering white teeth.

Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "I'm not worried about Shinobi who took the exam, but about other Shinobu Murakami sneaking into the exam room, now that Naruto's reputation has spread, there is information that many Shinobi villages want to kidnap or assassinate him." Your students may have already reached the level of middle ninja, and it is easy to deal with those who take the exam, but they can't deal with other Murakami shinobi. ”

Maitro crossed his hands on his hips and proudly said, "It's not me who brags, my lovely apprentices, under the spur of my love, have all made rapid progress!" Pull out any one, all of them have the strength of the upper ninja, and the best of them already has the strength of the shadow-level level! The three of them join forces, and Hokage-sama may not be an opponent! ”

However, many ninjas have heard rumors of Mytro's brutal training of his subordinates, and even Shikamaru, an auditor, has achieved the first place in physical skills in the ninja school graduation exam after a year of training.

Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikahisa, once sighed when he was drinking with his colleagues, saying that when he was a father, his physical skills were no longer as good as his son's, you must know that Nara Shikahisa is a ninja, although he is not known for his physical skills, no matter how bad his physical skills are, it is impossible to be worse.

Sarutobi was not angered by Metro's offensive words, but his eyes lit up, even if Metrow's disciples only had Shikamaru's physical strength on average, it should not be underestimated, as long as the three of them joined forces to fight against the ordinary Shangnin, it was okay to delay time and wait for rescue.

At that time, arrange more reinforcements of dark ninjas around the Death Forest, and once something happens, you can rush to the scene of the incident immediately when you see the fireworks signal, and you can completely rescue Naruto with all the mustaches and tails!

"Very well, then let's arrange it like this! Naruto can take the shinobi exam. ”

Sarutobi nodded and said, "Maitro went back and issued a secret order to his subordinates, their participation in the exam is secondary, and protecting Naruto's safety during the exam is the top priority." ”

Kakashi gave his friend Maitro a grateful look, and the latter straightened up and gave him a thumbs up, showing white teeth and smiling brightly.
