Chapter Seventy-two: Three Generations
After reuniting with Ueno Kaori and Nagajiro, they bid farewell to Terumi Mei, and then Ueno Kaori set off in the direction of Konoha with Shoukuryouin San!
On the road, getting used to the familiar use of Desire's Edge, originally Shoukoku was using the Tyrant Greatsword, now switching to Desire's Edge will take some getting used to, but with Ueno Kō in charge, the fastest way to master it is through continuous battle!
When he got on the boat, Shoukong Myou spent the whole day exchanging blows with Ueno Kaori, constantly getting familiar with the moves of "Yokubou no Yaiba". Originally having a strong foundation in swordsmanship, Shoukong Myou quickly mastered the use of "Yokubou no Yaiba", and although he didn't look as intimidating as when wielding his massive sword, his execution of "Haou Zan" with "Yokubou no Yaiba" was even more dashing. Choujirou often couldn't help but feel envious of Shoukong Myou's strength!
A few days later, Shō Kūmu and his group arrived at the border of the Fire Country and then entered Konohagakure. When they saw that Kirigakure had also sent people to participate in the Chunin Exams, someone immediately came to arrange their accommodation.
"Your Excellency, the Fire Shadow Lord wishes to meet with your team's Shō Kūmei no Jutsu user. Is that possible?" Later, a Jonin came to where Shō Kūmei was staying and bowed respectfully to Ueno Kaori!
"What did you say? Lord Hokage wants to see Shō Kūmu?" Ueno Kaoru heard this and couldn't help but let out a faintly surprised voice, the others who heard it also showed slight surprise, why would Lord Hokage want to see Shō Kūmu?!
Ueno Kaoru and others, curiously, Konoha's Jonin also looked at Shoukū Mei with a suspicious gaze, wondering why the Hokage wanted to see Shoukū Mei, isn't it busy now?
"Teacher! I'll go with him! We're here to take the Chunin exam, and the Fire Shadow won't do anything to us!" Shō's eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke to Umino Kō.
"Ah! Be careful yourself, Kūmu!" Ueno Kaori nodded in agreement, knowing that Hoshimaru wouldn't do anything to Kūmu, but wondering why he wanted to find her.
"Could it be that Kaguya-hime has returned?" Ueno Kaori wondered in her heart.
Then, Shō Kōmei followed the Jonin and arrived at the Hokage Building. Looking at the familiar Hokage Building in front of him, Shō Kōmei's heart was filled with excitement. He would soon meet the Third, whom he had great respect for!
"Hokage-sama! The Jonin from the Hidden Mist Village has brought a message!" After arriving at the Hokage's office, the Chunin immediately reported to those inside.
"Ah! Let him in!" Then a faint and aged voice echoed inside, and Zhao Kong also recognized it as the Third Generation's voice.
When Zhao Kongming entered, he immediately saw San Dai sitting on a chair. Although San Dai seemed like an ordinary old man with no majesty, Zhao Kongming could feel the strong and powerful aura emanating from him!
"Third Hokage! Hello!" Upon seeing the Third Hokage, Shō Kūgen also didn't dare to be too casual and hastily called out.
"Are you Shō Kūmyō?" Seeing Shō Kūmyō come in, the Third Generation Elder also looked at him with curiosity. The young man in front of him could already exchange blows with Kakashi without losing! With the Desire Blade on his back, Shō Kūmyō's first impression on the Third Generation Elder was that he was not simple!
"En! That's right!" Zong Kongming nodded in agreement.
"Hehe! I didn't actually have anything important to discuss with you today, I just wanted to ask you one thing!" The old man chuckled and smiled warmly, appearing kind and approachable.
"Want to ask what relationship I have with Sanren's Zilai?" Shuang Kong Ming heard the words and took over, knowing it was going to be like this!
"Sorry! Although I also admire him, but I have never seen the real Zilaiyeben himself!" Before the third generation of old men could answer, Zhao Kongming continued to speak.
"Really! It seems I was too suspicious after all! Hehe!" The old man of the third generation heard Zhao Kongming and knew what he wanted to ask, his eyes slightly surprised, then lightly laughed and said.
"But I really didn't think that, apart from self-taught, there would actually be someone who could develop the Spiral Pill. If you don't mind, can you demonstrate one in front of me?" The third generation old man continued to say!
"No problem! However, I also want the Third Hokage to promise me one thing!" Shikamaru replied immediately.
"What? What's going on!" Hearing that Zhao Kongming dared to set conditions for him, the old man of the third generation couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I hope the Third Hokage will allow me to freely explore Konoha during this time, so I can understand why Konoha is so strong!" Shō Kūma said with a slight smile. Generally, foreign ninjas could only move around within the village, and some places were off-limits!
"Hehe! Alright! No problem!" Hearing Shoukong Myou's request, the Third Generation Old Man immediately agreed with a light smile. The Third Generation Old Man also knew that many of those who came to participate in the Chunin Exam would sneak around and snoop, but they were all under the surveillance of Konoha, so Shoukong Myou's request was actually nothing out of the ordinary!
"Haha! Refreshing!" Upon hearing this, Kong Miao immediately let out a hearty laugh and stretched out his right hand.
"Fire Release! Flame Dragon Scroll!"
Hahaha!!!
In an instant, a Rasenshuriken surrounded by flames appeared in Shō's hand! The temperature inside the Hokage office suddenly rose!
"It's indeed an upgraded version of the Spiraling Sphere!" The moment he saw Shō Kūmyō holding the Flame Spiraling Sphere, San Da Lǎo Tóu couldn't help but think to himself! By looking at how skillfully Shō Kūmyō condensed the Flame Spiraling Sphere, it was clear that he had fully mastered this ninjutsu!
"Good! Good! You're indeed the younger brother of the Fifth Generation Water Shadow! With both of you siblings in Fog Hidden Village, it will surely prosper!" The Third Generation Old Master then praised Zhao Kongming.
"The Three-Tailed Beast is laughing at me!" Shō Kūmu heard this and couldn't help but smile, then slowly withdrew the Flame Whirlwind Ball in his hand, recalling the gathered chakra into his body. However, about a third of the chakra was still wasted, dispersing into the air.
"He was actually able to withdraw the Flame Spiral Sphere with ease!" However, even so, the Third Generation Old Master was secretly shocked! After chatting with Zhao Kongming for a while, he let Zhao Kongming go back and asked him to call Ueno Kaori over. The Third Generation Old Master wanted to properly hand over the diplomatic affairs of the Fog Shadow to her!
"Dizzy! Just call the teacher over and that's it!" Shoukong Ming cursed in his heart, unable to understand the old man of three generations. But Shoukong Ming didn't care, went back to call Ueno Kaori, and then said to take Bai out for a stroll. As for Choutaro, well! Let him stay in the dormitory! No need to be a light bulb!
"Let's go! Bai! I'll take you to eat the most famous Yī Lā Miàn in Mù Yè Village!" Zhào Kōng Míng said with a gentle smile as they left their lodging.
