"That.....Didn't I lose the bet? Sakura and Sasuke didn't want to pay, and a man of honor keeps his word, so I came to invite you to dinner." Naruto said, and then looked up, his face a little embarrassed: "But I can only treat you to the cheapest ramen, because I really don't have much money....."
"Did you call the others?" Kaoru asked with a smile.
"Not yet. You and Wan'er-boss are the first people I'm notifying." Naruto said.
"Okay, then I'll go with Wan'er and you to call the others." Kaoru nodded. "Let's go to the barbecue restaurant and have a good meal."
"Don't ah, Kaoru, I really don't have much money......" Naruto said repeatedly, not wanting to cause trouble. It wasn't that he was stingy, but it was because he was an orphan and really didn't have money. He didn't even have the ability to support himself.
"It's okay." Kaoru said with a smile. "I'll treat you this time."
He naturally knew about Naruto's tragic experience. He was also an orphan, and he did feel some empathy. He immediately stopped asking Naruto to pay. Anyway, he had been carrying out missions in the Anbu for so many years, and the money for treating was completely a piece of cake!
"Really?! That's great! Thank you, Kaoru!" The embarrassed expression on Naruto's face was swept away, and he immediately jumped up and shouted.
Seeing such an excited Naruto, Kaoru also nodded with satisfaction.
Thus, after calling Wan'er, the group of three called all the people from Team 7 and Team 8, a total of eight people, and swaggered towards the barbecue restaurant.
A team leader jōnin who treated on the first day, it was estimated that Kaoru was the only one. Guys like Kakashi only knew how to freeload. Asking him to pay was completely equal to taking his life.
Early the next morning, it was still that forest.
Next to a towering tree, three tender figures were waiting under the shade of the tree. The place was full of the chirping of birds in the morning, full of a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, a dissatisfied complaint broke the atmosphere.
Inuzuka Kiba complained to Wan'er next to him with dissatisfaction: "What's going on? Why didn't your Onii-chan come with you? We've been waiting for a long time ah."
Although Hinata didn't speak, her eyes were also full of doubt.
"Relax......" Wan'er was chewing on a foxtail grass, and said leisurely: "My Onii-chan got up earlier than me today. He ran off somewhere early in the morning. Just wait slowly."
And at this time, deep in the forest outside Konohagakure.
"Rumble!!" A huge sound rang out. The thick trees that grew together were all directly blown into pieces by dozens of small water dragons that burst out. Countless dirt and debris flew around. In an instant, a large number of birds and beasts were startled and fled outwards.
"Huff......" Kaoru stood in front of this large area of forest that had been destroyed into tree stumps, panting constantly. His expression was slightly tired, and the sleeves of his right arm had disappeared.
He had come here early in the morning to practice the Hard Vortex Spin Blade, and had also added water attribute chakra to it, which was the Hard Vortex Water Blade.
But after practicing like this, Kaoru realized that the Hard Vortex Water Blade was a ninjutsu that hadn't been completely developed. This move was like Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in the early stages.
Although it was extremely powerful, it was a close-range attack and couldn't be thrown out at all. What was recorded in the Scroll of Seals was just the Second Hokage's idea. It was estimated that he had died in the First Shinobi World War before he could perfect this ninjutsu.
And the side effects of this move were also extremely large. While attacking the enemy, his own arm would also be injured. Kaoru even felt that after using this move, the meridians in his right arm seemed to have suffered a lot of damage.
"Damn it, no wonder it was listed as a forbidden technique. It's not fully developed, and as expected, it damages my own body like other forbidden techniques!" Kaoru sat down on the ground with a thud and complained.
"It seems that I have to continue to develop it....." After thinking for a moment, Kaoru sighed. However, the problem now was the same as when Naruto developed the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Although it was extremely powerful, it was a close-range battle and had backlash against his own body.
Later, Naruto cultivated Sage Mode in order to overcome this point, and transformed it into Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, which could eventually be thrown remotely, and didn't cause any damage to the body.
But for the current Kaoru, he didn't have time to cultivate Sage Mode. One was because he was still a jōnin in charge, and two was that even finding those legendary Sannin would take a lot of effort. In this way, Kaoru could only continue to develop these two moves through other means.
"Let's practice here for now. I'll do it after developing the Hard Vortex Spin Blade. Let's go see my students first." Kaoru shook his head, stood up from the ground, and walked towards Konohagakure.
.....
In the forest, three children were still waiting.
"Yo, kids, unexpectedly, you guys arrived so early ah." Kaoru appeared in front of Wan'er, Hinata, and Kiba.
"Early my foot ah. It's already ten o'clock ah. You're the one who's too late ah!" Kiba saw that Kaoru had finally arrived, and immediately jumped up, pointing at Kaoru's nose and shouting loudly.
"Kaoru-kun.....Good morning!" Hinata said softly, and then reacted: "No, it should be Kaoru-sensei."
"Onii-chan, I have to talk about you. You really came too late today ah!" Wan'er also pouted.
"Alright alright, haven't I already come?" Kaoru waved his hand with a smile, and then directly took out two bells from his arms.
"Let's get straight to the point." He shook the two bells in his hand and said: "Whoever snatches these two bells can successfully advance to genin."
"Onii-chan, I knew it would be this move!" Wan'er complained with dissatisfaction: "I've already communicated with the graduates of the previous classes. You jōnin only know how to use bells for us to snatch, and only take out two, praising it as a test of team ability. It's all old hat!"
"So, Onii-chan, why don't you change to a new trick? It's not interesting to just snatch the bells like this. It's too boring." Wan'er continued to say.
"You little girl ah......" Kaoru frowned. Why did his younger sister have so many things to say? She actually thought that the bell snatching test was old hat.
"That's right, Kaoru, change it. There are three of us, and you only took out two bells. Doesn't that mean that one of us is destined not to pass? And it's really very boring." Kiba also said this.
"What did you call me?" Kaoru glanced at Inuzuka Kiba.
"That.....Kaoru-sensei!" Kiba's face changed and he said quickly.
"That's more like it. But since you don't want to snatch the bells, then......" Kaoru threw the bells in his hand on the ground, and then formed hand seals with both hands: "Living Corpse Reincarnation!"
"Bang!" The two bells on the ground suddenly burst out with a cloud of smoke. After a few seconds, two tigers covered in patterns rushed out of the smoke!
"Roar......" The two tigers groaned lowly, baring their teeth at the three students of Team 8. Each of them was four or five times larger than Inuzuka Kiba's body shape, looking quite terrifying.
"You don't want to snatch the bells, so I'll just add some fun." Kaoru said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me! Let us be chased by tigers?!" Kiba shouted loudly immediately. Akamaru in his clothes simply shrank his head in and trembled in Kiba's arms.
"Didn't you guys think that snatching the bells was too boring? I'll just add some fun." Kaoru waved his hand and said.
