Chapter 248
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked tactfully, "I've heard from Kakashi about the source of your sword and those strange abilities. Can you tell me, Grandpa?"
Faced with the question, Naruto hesitated for a moment.
Fortunately, Aguramaru reminded him.
"It's okay to tell him if you want to know. After all, he is your backer in Konoha."
Hearing this, Naruto seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Those abilities were given to me by the god Aguramaru."
"That legend is actually true?"
Although he had guessed it long ago, when he really heard it, Sarutobi Hiruzen still couldn't suppress his excitement.
After all, gods exist in this world.
For example, the god of death in Shiki Fuujin, but no one has ever really obtained the power of God. Unexpectedly, Naruto succeeded!
Even the first generation of Hokage didn't have such a feat.
Maybe Naruto has the possibility of matching or even surpassing that person!
How can he not be excited!
But he still hurriedly asked.
"What is the price for obtaining these abilities?"
"No."
Naruto answered truthfully, but he didn't tell it all.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was overwhelmed by joy, didn't care. Instead, he smiled sincerely and reminded, "Don't expose this ability easily!"
Feeling the other party's kindness, Naruto nodded slightly.
"I understand."
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.
"In a few days, the village will hold a Chunin selection exam with the Sand Village, and you will also participate. Naruto, I am looking forward to your performance."
...
After a brief conversation, he pushed the door and left with confidence.
Only Naruto was left alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed to practice again, and his consciousness once again came to the spiritual world.
But it was different from the past.
This time, Ajuramaru stopped his practice in an uncharacteristic way, and instead reminded him, "Since you have been recognized by me, it's time for you to learn sword skills next."
As soon as the voice fell,
In Naruto's eyes.
A figure slowly stepped out of the giant sword suspended in the air.
He was wearing a loose plaid kimono, with long fiery red hair and cloud-like patterns on his forehead.
Being stared at by the pair of clear and bright eyes, Naruto could clearly feel the other's gentleness, which was an indescribable feeling.
At this time, Ajuramaru introduced with some nostalgia, "This is my first sword master, named Kamado Tanjiro, and he will guide you to practice sword skills."
"The first sword master?"
Naruto stood in place and looked at the figure who was slowly walking towards him, and his expression became more serious.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Tanjiro-senpai!"
Tanjiro nodded slightly and smiled gently, "I will perform breathing and sword skills, you can choose the one that suits you best."
While speaking,
The sword was unsheathed, and blazing flames burst out from the blade, "Fire God Kagura - One Form - Round Dance!"
As the blade slashed forward.
A gorgeous arc of flames also came into view.
Following closely.
Various sword forms of Fire God Kagura also appeared in his sight, followed by Water Breathing, Thunder Breathing, Beast Breathing...
Naruto was dazzled.
Until the end, he resolutely made his choice, "Senior Tanjiro, I ask you to teach me Fire God Kagura!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro smiled gently and walked forward, and began to teach Naruto how to breathe correctly.
The two began teaching in this space.
And Aguramaru stood not far away and watched the show.
However, as he watched, he unconsciously shifted his sight to the Nine-Tails that was bound under the seal not far away.
And it was this one glance that made the Nine-Tails' pupils shrink and its hair stand up!
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Naruto, who had temporarily completed his mission, was about to go home and was walking alone on the street, when a little boy wearing goggles suddenly jumped out.
"Brother Naruto, do you think I look like you in the past?"
Looking at the familiar goggles and scarf on Konohamaru, Naruto seemed to recall the past and couldn't help but smile.
"It really looks like you."
Hearing this, Konohamaru smiled triumphantly, "Then how about praising me and treating me to barbecue?"
"It's rare to have time, and I haven't eaten yet, so let's go together." Naruto said, relaxing his stiff body.
Konohamaru ran towards the street in front of him, notWang Huitou couldn't wait to urge, "Barbecue is very popular recently, Naruto, hurry up, there will be no seats if you are late!"
But just at this time.
At the corner, he bumped into something and fell to the ground.
Until then.
Naruto saw that the person Konohamaru bumped into was clearly a Genin wearing a Sand Village forehead protector, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a black robe, his face was painted with oil paint, and he was carrying an object wrapped in bandages.
The woman had four yellow little hair combs on her head and was carrying a fan that was one meter long when closed.
And Ajuromaru immediately recognized the identities of the two people when he saw this, they were Kankuro and Temari from the Sand Village.
Seeing these two people meant that the Chunin Exam was about to begin!
At the same time, Naruto had also confirmed the identity of the person who came. If nothing unexpected happened, it was a Genin from the Sand Village who came to participate in the Chunin Selection Exam.
But before he could say anything.
Kanjiro, who was dressed in a black robe, lifted Konohamaru with one hand and scolded him coldly, "It hurt just now, you little brat!"
Temari, who was standing next to him, warned him.
"Stop it, or you'll get scolded later."
But Kanjiro didn't care at all, or rather, he glanced at Naruto not far away and said with confidence.
"Konoha's Genin looks really weak. I'll play with you guys before the troublesome guy comes."
This is a naked provocation.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Naruto rushed forward without hesitation.
Kanjiro immediately pulled the chakra line he had laid on the ground, but just when he thought he had succeeded.
Naruto jumped forward, dodged easily, and held the three-pronged kunai against the opponent's neck from one side, saying coldly.
"Can you let go of your hand?"
Instantly, the pupils of the two people present shrank violently. They didn't expect that the other party could actually detect and dodge his chakra line.
The strange-shaped kunai was pressed against his neck.
Kankuro could only slowly put down the Konohamaru in his hand, and Naruto also retracted his kunai when he saw this.
