The contact between Konoha and Kumogakure caused quite a stir in the Ninja World.
However, it was the Anbu intelligence personnel who were exhausted. For Takemi, the situation wasn't so bad.
After all, he wasn't in the Anbu, and he didn't have any missions to do for the ti being.
He didn't know if Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he should rest well, or if he thought he always encountered absurd things every ti he went on a mission.
Therefore, he currently had no missions. He was either diligently training every day or just idling around the streets of Konoha.
Ti passed day by day, and the Ninja World welcod the New Year.
"Finally, a holiday! Yay!"
Walking on the streets of Konoha, Naruto bounced around, which made Takemi shake his head.
Takemi said, "I say, can you pay attention? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Naruto said, "Tch, you don't know how much hardship we've gone through during this period!"
Naruto imdiately beca displeased when he heard this. He counted on his fingers, listing things for Takemi.
"Iruka-sensei was already strict, but for so reason, he beca even more terrifying in the second half of the year!"
Takemi asked, "How so?"
Naruto answered, "Although he didn't allow skipping classes or sleeping before, it was fine as long as you were careful. Now, he practically stands behind us the whole ti, watching."
"..."
"You don't know, I've been caught countless tis, it's too unlucky! I get sleepy just listening to things like calculating the flight distance of shuriken, so I get caught every ti."
"..."
"And that's not all, every day we have to study 'Ninja Rules' and morize everything in it, and there's also the 'Will of Fire' textbook, all of it has to be morized."
"..."
"Damn it, just looking at these things now makes my brain feel like it's going to explode, ahhhhhhh!"
Watching Naruto in a frantic state, Takemi was also quite surprised.
What's going on?
When did Konoha beco so strict about education?
He stroked his chin and asked, puzzled, "I rember, when I was in school, no one cared if I skipped class. I often ran out to train back then. Did you guys do sothing wrong?"
"It's probably because of you..."
Naruto listened to Takemi's words, his eyes filled with intense envy, which then turned into deep resentnt.
Naruto complained, "Last ti, why didn't you stop from bringing mushroom soup?"
"Nonsense, that was ages ago. Didn't the school already strengthen education?" Takemi rolled his eyes, speaking with a hint of disdain.
"Now they're changing it again. I think Hokage-sama is just dissatisfied with your performance?"
"Hmph!"
Naruto snorted lightly, sowhat dejectedly.
"But if that's really the case, then he's so annoying."
"Indeed, so annoying."
Takemi nodded along. He also found such things annoying.
He felt that if this continued, Konoha's education system might run into problems...
"Speaking of which, what have you been up to lately, you guy?"
Although life was tough, Naruto was still sowhat curious about Takemi.
"How co I've been seeing you in the village all the ti lately? Did you get into so trouble and can't go out?"
"What are you thinking?"
Takemi smiled and punched Naruto on the head, then shook his head and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be taking an exam in September this year, the Jonin exam."
The Jonin exam, Takemi felt excited just thinking about it.
Ever since he beca a Genin, this broken system gave him a new goal—to beco a Jonin.
Chunin, the system seed to look down on it.
Takemi also worked hard, but given the system in place, there was nothing he could do if the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't careless.
Fortunately, after enduring until now, Sarutobi Hiruzen might also have felt that it's no longer appropriate for him to remain a Chunin.
"At least the strength I've shown is conceptual, right? With Flying Thunder God, Purple Electricity, and even Sage Mode, it wouldn't be polite to keep as a Chunin."
However, the Jonin exam still needed so ti. Even though Kakashi hinted that it would be almost a formality, he still had to wait.
"Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry, and besides, my gains lately haven't been bad."
Although Takemi had been 'idling' for a while, he hadn't stopped developing his abilities at all.
He didn't want to simply maximize the output of his attraction and repulsion abilities like Nagato. He was just about to try adjusting the use of attraction and repulsion at critical monts.
"For example, the mont you're about to hit , I suddenly use attraction or repulsion to change the trajectory, then counter-kill. That's the correct application, right?"
And things like changing an enemy's direction of attraction and repulsion to create a disorienting spatial illusion are much more effective than just 'might makes right'.
Of course, at critical monts, Takemi would also use 'might makes right', that's a basic ability.
As for the control type ability, which in so sense is 'Puppet Jutsu'.
Although he tried it, he felt the effect was diocre, probably because he didn't have good puppets.
Perhaps, only when he encounters Sasori can he truly give it a good try...
"Everything else went smoothly, but what exactly is 'Rasengan: Uzuhiko', and what's with the planet chakra?"
There were many good things, but there were also things that puzzled him.
The technique 'Rasengan: Uzuhiko' sowhat stumped him.
He had tried hard to perceive the so-called 'planet chakra', but ultimately, there wasn't much of a reaction.
After much thought, he felt that this might be related to his 'bloodline developnt', as the system hadn't even changed his na yet.
"And that Boruto, the Ōtsutsuki have already started calling him Ōtsutsuki Boruto."
His self-developnt and steady improvent in strength kept him in a good mood.
Especially as ti passed, Naruto and his gang were about to graduate, and then more good things would co one after another.
He was already eager to experience the feeling of a 'max-level character' dominating a newbie village.
"Takemi."
As he was pondering, he suddenly heard soone call him, which made him look up.
He saw that besides Lee and his two teammates, all the other rookies had co over.
Even Sasuke was with them, and Hinata stood at the back of the crowd. This scene made Takemi pause.
