In the evening, Mu Yue finished studying with Tsunade and headed towards her home in the main city.
"Are you still going to buy? If not, I'm going to close the stall and go home. You've been standing here for almost an hour." The boss looked at the red-haired girl who was standing in front of the cart with a thoughtful look on his face with a headache.
Mei Terumi did not answer the boss. She was thinking seriously about which ice cream to buy, strawberry ice cream, vanilla ice cream, or chocolate ice cream.
Chocolate ice cream holds a very important place in Mei Terumi's heart, because it was the first flavor of ice cream she ever tasted, and it made her realize that there is such a delicious food in the world.
Although vanilla ice cream appeared later, its slightly refreshing taste quickly took the top spot in the ice cream flavor ranking in Mei Terumi's heart.
As for strawberry ice cream, this was a flavor that Mei Terumi had never eaten before, because she had never eaten strawberries, let alone strawberry ice cream.
One is the chocolate ice cream that opened the door to the world of ice cream for her, one is her current favorite vanilla ice cream, and the last is the new flavor of strawberry ice cream that she has never tried. This makes it very difficult for Mei Terumi to choose, and it seems that there are enough reasons to choose any one of them.
"Since you can't decide, why not buy one of them all?" Mu Yue, who happened to be on the same street, suggested.
He could somewhat understand this kind of decision-making difficulty because in his previous life he was also a person who could spend more than an hour choosing takeout, and even chose after choosing for a long time, and finally chose the first store that opened.
But he felt that he was much better than Mei Terumi because he had to choose one from a bunch of takeouts, while Mei Terumi only had to choose one from three.
"It can actually be like this!" Mei Terumi widened her eyes and looked at Mu Yue in shock. Is he a genius?
Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no problem. After all, she was a ninja now. She didn't need to ask adults for money to buy ice cream. She could just buy as much as she wanted. It was as if Mei Terumi had opened the door to a new world.
"Please give me two of each." Mei Terumi doubled the amount and bought six.
The ice cream shop owner quickly packed six servings of ice cream for Mei Terumi and put them in a bag and handed it to her.
In fact, if he hadn't been going home for dinner, he wouldn't have cared that Mei Terumi kept standing here. After all, a stall with people patronizing it always gives people a better feeling, but it still has to close eventually.
Mu Yue also continued walking towards home.
He just happened to meet her on the way home and simply helped her. After all, it only required a few words. He had no intention of communicating too much with Mei Terumi because Mei Terumi was a Kirigakure ninja.
Although he had no sense of belonging to Konoha, he still had to maintain his superficial identity.
"Hey, guy who looks hot, please stop." Mei Terumi called out to Mu Yue.
As Mu Yue walked quite fast, Mei Terumi hurriedly expressed her impression of Mu Yue.
Mu Yue turned around and looked at Mei Terumi. He was a little unsure whether Mei Terumi was polite or rude. If you say Terumi was polite, she would just give a nickname casually, and if you say she was rude, she would still use honorifics.
"Here you go, as a reward for what you just did." Mei Terumi took out the strawberry ice cream and handed it to Mu Yue with a heartbroken look on her face.
Although Mu Yue is a Konoha ninja, he is her benefactor who helped her open the door to a new world.
Moreover, Mei Terumi felt that Mu Yue, as an adult, would not accept gifts from her, a child from another ninja village. In this way, she could not only repay Mu Yue's kindness, but also keep the ice cream, since Mu Yue didn't want it anyway.
"Thank you very much." Mu Yue took it with a smile.
He was too familiar with this kind of plot. If he refused, there might be other plots. If he just accepted and left, nothing would happen.
After Mu Yue finished speaking, she turned around and left again, walking towards home.
Mei Terumi stared in amazement at Mu Yue who decisively turned around and walked away. This was different from what she had imagined. Why didn't this person play by the rules? How could an adult accept ice cream from a nine-year-old child like this?
Mei Terumi subconsciously stretched out her right hand forward, but she was too embarrassed to continue asking Mu Yue to take the ice cream back, as she had given it away with her own hands.
"I'm so stupid, really!" Mei Terumi's eyes gradually lost their luster, and the ice cream that was about to reach her mouth flew away.
"Maybe this strawberry ice cream doesn't taste good at all." Mei Terumi comforted herself.
In this way, her loss would be the smallest, after all, her favorite vanilla ice cream and the most missed chocolate ice cream were not given away.
Mei Terumi found a park, sat on a chair and started eating right away. The first thing she ate was vanilla ice cream, after all, it was her favorite. When she stuffed a big spoonful of vanilla ice cream into her mouth, Mei Terumi showed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
Mei Terumi originally wanted to have the chocolate ice cream as the second one, but after thinking about it, she decided to try the strawberry ice cream which she had never had before.
After putting the ice cream with strawberry pulp into her mouth, a surprised expression appeared on Terumi Mei's face. She felt that it tasted better than the vanilla flavor, but after Terumi thought of something, her expression quickly turned into frustration.
Good news, the new flavor of ice cream is delicious. Bad news, she gave one away.
Even when she was lying in bed at night, Mei Terumi could not forget it for a long time. Her mind was filled with the smile of the blond man and the strawberry ice cream he handed over. She had once had two delicious strawberry ice creams in front of her but she did not cherish them. If she were given a chance to start over again...
…
On the morning of July 1st, the Chunin Exam officially began.
Because of this, there will be many ninjas coming to the Ninja School to take the exam, including many from other villages, so the school simply gave the students a day off to prevent unnecessary accidents.
"The Chunin Exam! I didn't expect that I could take part in it so soon. A few months ago, I felt that Chunin was very far away from us." Shiranui Genma sighed as he looked at the gate of the Ninja School.
A few months ago he wasn't even a Genin, and in his eyes, a Chunin was a very reliable existence at that time.
"Participating doesn't guarantee you'll become a Chunin, and we're able to take part in the Chunin Exam because of Kai," Ebisu said rationally.
The situation of their team is a bit similar to that of Obito and his team. Might Guy's resume and strength make Teacher Chen feel that there will be no problem in passing the Chunin Exam, so he recommended them to take the Chunin Exam.
However, in order to prevent Shiranui Genma and Ebisu from being disappointed, Teacher Chen told them in advance that they had good strength among their peers, but it was very difficult to become a Chunin, so they should not hold out for the hope of being promoted to Chunin. Without expectations, there would be no disappointment.
"Hehe." Shiranui Genma hugged Ebisu's arm and laughed, "Everyone has to have some dreams. Kakashi became a Chunin when he was six years old. We are nine years old now, maybe we can become one too."
"Just give your best to the exam, so that you won't regret it even if you fail." Might Guy smiled brightly and gave the two of them a thumbs up in encouragement.
Ebisu nodded. Even though he sounded pessimistic, he had come to take the exam, so how could he not have any ideas at all?
"Akai, you also took part in the Chunin Exam." Obito immediately waved and greeted Might Guy and his group when he saw them.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Yeah, you guys too." Shiranui Genma nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course. Not only do you have to participate, but you also have to pass it once and become a Chunin." Obito replied with a laugh.
Might Guy looked at Kakashi and became eager to fight him. He challenged Kakashi:
"My dear friend, let's have a competition full of youth and passion to see who has the better result in the Chunin Exam."
"Okay, let's compete with each other based on the results of the first game." Kakashi nodded calmly and agreed directly.
"My youth is beginning to burn!" When Might Guy saw Kakashi agree so decisively, he felt his blood boiling and he couldn't wait for the exam to start.
Ebisu felt that this scene was very harmonious, but he soon thought of something wrong and his expression became a little weird, because Kakashi, a Chunin, seemed to be taking part in the Chunin exam as well.
Thinking of this, Ebisu realized that Kakashi was not wearing a Chunin vest today.
Confused, Ebisu walked up to Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, are you also going to take part in the Chunin Exam with Obito and the others?"
Kakashi's expression was a little subtle. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Yes, for various reasons, I will participate in this Chunin Exam."
Ebisu's expression was a little solemn. He felt that his hope of becoming a Chunin had become smaller. It would be okay for a Chunin to take part in the Chunin Exam.
"I hope Kakashi is the only special case." Ebisu sighed inwardly.
Neither Genma Shiranui nor Might Guy noticed anything unusual and thought that there was nothing wrong with Kakashi and Obito, who were teammates, taking the Chunin Exam together.
As the exam was getting closer, more and more ninjas came to the Ninja School, and Ebisu keenly discovered that there were ninjas from other ninja villages.
"Ame Village, Taki Village, Kusagakure, and Mist Village." Ebisu recognized their ninja villages based on the forehead protectors.
"You guys are taking part in the Chunin Exam so soon." Asuma saw Obito and the others and walked up to greet them.
He graduated last year and took part in the Chunin Exam for the first time this year.
"Is it not possible?" Obito scratched his head and asked Asuma with a puzzled look.
Obito's words really stumped Asuma. It was his first time participating as well, so he didn't really know much.
"It doesn't matter. I've become much stronger since the special training ended. You'll be surprised if you meet me in the future battles." Asuma said confidently.
"I have also made a lot of progress." Like Asuma, Obito also has enough confidence in himself, except for the first theoretical exam.
The nine of them chatted as they walked towards the designated teaching building for the exam, entered the examination room, and sat in the seats arranged in advance.
When there were still ten minutes left before the exam, all the invigilators walked into the classroom and began to announce the rules of the first exam of the Chunin Exam.
