章節 35: Chapter 35 Predicting Sandaime's Death
Stepping out of the Hokage's Office, Naruto felt the sunlight on his skin, but it offered no warmth. He glanced around and headed in a particular direction.
The bustling streets of Konoha were as lively as ever, filled with people going about their day.
Walking along the road, Naruto had already put the recent events behind him. Since Sandaime wanted him to skip the Chunin Exams, he might as well continue causing some trouble in Konoha.
After arriving at the meeting spot, Naruto saw the little girl and immediately put on a smile.
Everyone was busy preparing for the Chunin Exams. Originally, Naruto had D-Rank missions to pass the time, but Kakashi had exempted him from those missions.
However, Sandaime asking him to give up taking the Chunin Exams instantly made Naruto felt like he was back to square one.
Kakashi was busy coaching Sasuke, Sakura was engrossed in learning Medical Ninjutsu, and all the other teams were preparing for the Chunin Exams. Even Hinata was working hard.
Everyone was busy except Naruto, who was doing nothing. He was like the white clouds drifting in the sky, free yet incredibly bored.
So in the mornings, Naruto took the little girl to the forest to catch animals, and in the afternoons, they fished in a shallow creek. By sunset, they were atop the Hokage Rock, overlooking the Konoha Village.
Although Naruto occasionally asked about the whereabouts of the other three, the girl would vaguely reply that they were off playing on their own. He didn't mind and continued to enjoy his leisure.
If you are alone, even the most delicious food will lose some of its flavor. Having someone to share meals with greatly satisfies Naruto's desire to show off.
Anyway, he was not short of money, so they had barbecue for lunch and Ichiraku Ramen in the afternoon. The next day, he changed his taste to seafood, and then mountain delicacies.
As the days passed, the time for the Chunin Exams drew closer.
"This must cost a lot, right?" The girl looked at Naruto and asked, somewhat puzzled. Even though she was ignorant, she felt that this extremely expensive lifestyle was a bit exaggerated.
Naruto, however, was unfazed and replied casually, "Does it?"
"Um."
The night breeze blew past them as they stood on the Hokage Rock, gazing at the thousand lights of Konoha. Naruto jumped onto the railing, squatted down, and said, "As long as we're happy, money is not important."
Naruto waited a long time for a response. When he turned to look at the girl, she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, and then added, "Let's go to the Valley of the End tomorrow. There seems to be a big red fish over there." (T/N: Valley of the End should be far from Konoha. I don't know why the Author wrote so.)
"I can't go tomorrow." The girl suddenly said.
"That's fine, I can go alone." Naruto said, "What about the day after tomorrow? It seems like we've been to all the places we should go. There's nothing fun to do now."
"I have something important to do. I might not have time to hang out with you anymore." The girl said hesitantly, "I really want to, but it's really important."
Naruto was stunned for a moment. He then jumped off the railing, and suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, if you have something to do, just go. We're both from Konoha, right? We'll definitely have time to hang out again."
"Yeah." The girl's eyes dimmed a little when she said this.
"Alright, go ahead. We'll hang out again when you're free." Naruto said, waving her off with no hint of sadness on his face.
"Okay." The girl nodded, stood there for a while, then slowly turned around until she completely disappeared into the darkness.
Under the night sky, Naruto let out a long sigh. His face showed a hint of melancholy, but he quickly brightened up again.
"At this time, the only people sneaking into Konoha are likely Orochimaru's people… Tayuya."
…
At this time, Tayuya had already returned to the residence of the four-member team. Although it was called a residence, it was actually just an abandoned house with leaks.
"Hey, Tayuya, why are you back so late again?" Kidomaru called out from a distance.
"None of your business." Tayuya said coldly without even looking at Kidomaru.
"You..." Kidomaru felt a bit annoyed, but he still held back.
He knew that Tayuya always spoke bluntly, but almost at the same time, Kidomaru thought of a question, 'Tayuya probably didn't act like this around that person, right?'
Thinking of this, Kidomaru spoke again with some resentment.
"Tayuya, the Chunin Exams are coming up, and Orochimaru-sama ordered us to be ready. You're not still hanging around that guy, are you?"
"None of your business." Tayuya repeated. At this time, her red hair was covering her eyes. Her gaze is icy, and her mood is foul.
"Tayuya, you…!" Kidomaru finally couldn't take it anymore. He rushed forward to block her path, shouting at her.
"You haven't fallen for that kid, have you? He just bought you a few meals, that's all. And that Kyubi's Jinchuriki is such a sucker…"
With a bang, Kidomaru's eyes widened slightly, and the next second, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of bile, and his whole body instantly bent into a shrimp shape.
Tayuya had kicked him hard in the stomach, and then watched indifferently as he writhed in agony.
"Kidomaru, are you okay?" Jirobo, who looked like a sumo wrestler, hurried over to help Kidomaru up and asked with a worried look on his face.
"Get lost!" Kidomaru pushed Jirobo away. His face is twisted with anger, and he left with gritted teeth.
The next day.
Naruto went out as usual, wandering around, fishing by the river, and swimming under a waterfall. After playing alone for a while, he felt a bit bored.
He had guessed Tayuya's identity, but chose not to expose her.
The reason was simple. Tayuya was the only one who had nothing to do at that time. With time to kill, they had played together for a few days.
Now that the dream was over, it was time for Naruto to start stirring things up in Konoha.
Naruto pulled up the system panel and typed into the avatar's dialogue box: "August 29th, with nothing to do, I'll make a casual prophecy. Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will die during the Chunin Exams."
After clicking confirm, smile crept onto Naruto's face.
At this moment, almost everyone in Konoha put down what they were doing and a look of horror appeared on their faces.
'Sandaime Hokage-sama will die?'
In a men's hot spring somewhere in Konoha.
Jiraiya, who was soaking in the hot spring, suddenly turned serious and stared straight ahead. The tranquility of his mind shattered by the message.
Even though Jiraiya and Sandaime had their differences, it was precisely because of these differences that he chose to travel, while Tsunade chose to indulge in gambling.
But no matter what, Jiraiya never thought Sandaime would die. This message was clearly not a prank, as there was no Chakra disturbance, yet the message entered his mind without traces.
It was like a thought implanted directly into his brain, but so clear.
With a splash, Jiraiya stood up from the hot spring. He wrapped the white towel on his head onto his waist, then slowly walked out of the hot spring.
He had to meet Sandaime to see if he was dead or not.

章節 36: Chapter 36 Ichibi
In the Konoha Forest, at a training ground with three wooden stakes.
The fallen leaves swirled down in the wind and were instantly torn apart by sharp blades.
Thud thud thud!
Three kunai accurately hit the bullseye, prompting a sigh of admiration from the girl with two buns on her head.
"Bullseye, Neji, you're amazing."
"If it's just this level, it can't be said to be amazing." Neji said with a cold face.
"Three thousand one hundred twenty-one! Three thousand one hundred twenty-two!" Lee gritted his teeth, doing one-handed push-ups nearby.
"That's already very good. After all, Neji is a genius." Tenten reassured.
"A genius?" Neji tightened his knee pads and his gaze shifted to Lee beside him, "Uchiha Sasuke is the real genius. Only by fighting him can I know the gap."
"Neji, what do you think about that Shinobi God thing?" Tenten seemed to suddenly remember something and asked nervously.
"The sudden talk about Hokage-sama dying during the Chunin Exams and now Guy-sensei being summoned back by Hokage-sama."
"I'm not sure." Neji said expressionlessly, "The higher-ups will definitely have a solution. It's not something we should worry about."
"Even though that's what you say, the Chunin Exams will definitely be affected." Tenten said worriedly, "After all, it concerns Hokage-sama, and if things go wrong, the Chunin Exam smight be canceled."
"Canceled?" Lee, who was sweating profusely from his upside-down push-ups, looked at the two and said, "Didn't Guy-sensei tell us it's unlikely to be canceled? He said that we should just focus on training."
"It's really hard to say in this situation now. After all, that Shinobi God's words might be…" Tenten hesitated at this point.
The Shinobi God revealed secrets about the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans respectively, and Neji standing next to her was the victim of the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird.
"It's fake." Neji said calmly, "The village has already come out to refute the rumor and told us not to pay attention to the words of the Shinobi God."
"Yeah, especially since the other party most likely be our enemies." Tenten sighed and said, "I wonder who this Shinobi God really is?"
"It's probably someone from the village, right? Didn't Guy-sensei say that people outside the village can't receive those sudden messages in their minds?" Lee continued talking as he sweated.
Neji didn't say anything and continued with his own training, but his gaze becoming even calmer.
A genius of the Hyuga Clan?
Born into original sin, with the Caged Bird, there was no need for any genius.
All the Hyuga Clan needed was to preserve the main family's slaves. As long as they could survive, continuing like ugly beasts was irrelevant.
"What's the deal with that message?" Shikamaru, lying lazily on the grassy slope, stared with dead-fish eyes.
Asuma suddenly had something come up, and probably returned to the Hokage Tower. After all, he was the Hokage's son, so he was probably very worried about Sandaime's situation.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio suddenly found themselves with some free time. Shikamaru lounged around while Ino continued training, and Choji sat on the side munching on potato chips.
Hearing this, Choji, munching on his chips, squinted his eyes and said, "Didn't the village say it was fake news."
"Who would believe that?" Shikamaru mumbled, "The incident with the Hyuga Clan was real, wasn't it? Last year's top rookie should be from the branch family, right?"
"Who told you that?" Ino, who had stopped training, heard their conversation and walked over to ask.
"I heard it from my father." Shikamaru said, putting a blade of grass in his mouth, staring at the cotton candy clouds drift by in the sky with dead-fish eyes, "That genius of the Hyuga Clan probably has the Caged Bird Cursed Seal on his forehead too."
Hearing this, Ino sighed, "There's nothing we can do about the matters of big clans."
"Yeah." Shikamaru agreed, staring at the blue sky for a moment before suddenly asking, "Ino, do you have a conflict with that guy Naruto?"
Ino was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then answered in a panic, "No, no, why are you asking?"
"Didn't you deliberately avoid Naruto last time?" Shikamaru continued, "I'm just a little confused. When we went to submit the application form for the Chunin Exams today, why there were only Sakura and Sasuke from Team 7?"
"I don't know what's wrong with Naruto. He used to crave recognition so much, but now, he seems to have lost all his drive."
"I don't know about that either." Ino said with a smile, "Besides, I've had my share of conflicts with him, so there's nothing strange about that."
"Yeah, who knows what that guy is up to." Shikamaru complained.
"Naruto?" Choji, who was eating potato chips, turned to them and suddenly said, "I saw him recently, and he seemed to be with a little girl."
"A little girl?" Ino was slightly surprised.
"Probably an orphan from the village." Choji shoveled the potato chips into his mouth, "I saw them at the barbecue restaurant."
"That guy Naruto, I feel like he doesn't even seem like a Shinobi anymore."
"Yeah, who knows. I haven't seen him train lately." Shikamaru sighed and said, "Last time I saw him, he wasn't even wearing his forehead protector."
"How is it possible?" Ino was shocked. "Naruto wanted a Shinobi's forehead protector so much before, how could he…"
"It's hard to say." Shikamaru stood up and looked out from the hillside.
His gaze rose from the grassy plain, past the swaying grass, over a fleeting white bird, and finally landed on a few small black dots in the distance.
"Those people are Shinobi from Sunagakure, right?"
Hearing this, Ino and Choji also looked in that direction, and cold sweat immediately formed on their foreheads.
On the grassland some distance away from them, a Shinobi carrying a gourd had a gloomy look on his face, and the other two Shinobi, a man and a woman, also looked at the three of them with unfriendly expressions.
The two groups locked eyes, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio felt a chill down their spines. It's like a fear of being watched by a predator.
Fortunately, the three Sunagakure's Shinobi did not continue to walk towards them, but changed direction and headed towards the Hokage Tower.
"That guy with the gourd is scary." Ino said with a lingering fear on her face, patting her chest in relief.
"I hope we don't run into them during the Chunin Exams." Shikamaru swallowed his saliva and agreed with a pale face.
"Crunch! Crunch!" Choji was frightened and tilted his head back to pour a bag of potato chips into his mouth.
"Temari, I heard that there is also a Jinchuriki in this village." Kankuro, who was walking on the road carrying a puppet on his back, asked his sister, Temari.
"Yes, it's the most powerful one, Kyubi." Temari had a huge folding fan hanging behind her back, and she was wearing a shoulder-baring fishnet dress, with a slightly displeased look on her face.
