Chapter 42 High-quality Ninja Outfits
Tatsuma and Minato never expected that because of a gust of uncontrollable wind, they would pass the test in a daze. Perhaps it was not the wind, but Orochimaru who was looking for an excuse to let them pass.
With the talents shown by the two of them, they may still have some shortcomings to make up for as Chunin, but if they just graduate, it will be more than enough. In the end, Orochimaru just wants to test their limits.
The two people who received the Konoha ninja forehead protectors the next day were taken to a photo studio by Sarutobi Aura, who took their headshots and then took them to buy new ninja tools.
To be honest, after several days and a "battle" with Orochimaru, Tatsuma had long forgotten the ninja tool that Sarutobi Aura promised. If Sarutobi Aura hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, he might not have been able to remember it.
.
Another day passed. In the morning, Tatsuma, who had just returned from his morning exercise and had breakfast and was thinking about what training he should do in the morning, found a masked ANBU ninja coming to his apartment.
"Tatsuma Sakamoto!"
The ANBU ninja lowered his voice so that no one could hear his original voice. Tatsuma saw that this person had some characteristics that were familiar to him, so he stopped guessing about his identity, nodded and said, "Yes."
"This is your ninja registration certificate. Please report to the Hokage Building as soon as possible."
"yes."
Tatsuma nodded and took his ninja registration certificate from the ANBU ninja. Looking at the photo on the registration certificate, Tatsuma regretted why he didn't use chakra to control his hair to have a better-looking hairstyle before taking the photo.
It was a mess, like a ball of moldy and dried seaweed. His eyes seemed to be out of focus, and he didn’t actually show his signature smile. This photo was really a failure!
But in this lost moment, when Tatsuma came back to his senses, he found that the ANBU ninja had disappeared, and there was no sign of any ANBU ninja coming to the room.
With this technique, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is ten times stronger than Jiraiya.
Tatsuma did not rush to the Hokage's office. Instead, he took a shower first, changed his clothes, and then carefully dried his hair with cold air from a hair dryer, trying to comb it as less messy as possible.
Then he put on his ninja forehead protector, took his ninja registration certificate, and headed towards the Hokage Building. When he arrived downstairs of the Hokage Building, Tatsuma found Minato shivering under the lingering spring breeze.
"How long have you been here?"
Tatsuma asked, Minato sniffed and said, "It's only been an hour."
"After sweating, you won't be afraid of catching a cold if you are blown by the cold wind."
Seeing that Minato didn't even change his clothes, Tatsuma knew that this silly boy must have put on his forehead protector and headed straight to the Hokage Building as soon as he got home and received the order.
Tatsuma was not as stupid as Minato, because at this time every morning, the jounin class was meeting, and sometimes you could see Hiruzen Sarutobi lecturing the jounin downstairs.
At this point in time, the ninjas in the Hokage Building have not yet started their day's work, and have not even returned to their posts. How can they have time to receive them to meet the Hokage?
Minato sniffed again and said, "The ANBU ninja-sama asked me to hurry up, I didn't think too much."
Tatsuma shook his head and said: "Go back today and make some ginger syrup. Remember to cover yourself with an extra quilt when you sleep, so as not to catch a cold on your first day as a ninja."
"I see."
Minato nodded, feeling Tatsuma's concern, and he suddenly felt less cold. Tatsuma glanced at the Hokage Building and found that no one had come out yet. He touched his forehead protector and said:
"Minato, after becoming a ninja, it seems that you can choose the style of forehead protector. Do you want to change it?"
"I think this is good. Do you want to change it?"
Minato was a little confused. After all, wearing a forehead protector on the forehead is the most standard way of wearing it. Although other styles or ways of wearing are also allowed, as long as the logo is exposed, Minato still feels that the most standard one is the best.
Tatsuma nodded, pointed to his hair, and said: "My hair is too fluffy. If I wear a forehead protector on my head, the area pressed by the strap will look like it was suddenly shaved off.
Hair is the same."
Minato looked at Tatsuma who was showing off in a circle, nodded, and said, "It makes sense, so where do you plan to wear it? On the neck? I see that many ninjas wear it around their necks, and it can also protect their throats.
.”
"No, isn't that just like wearing a turtleneck? The thing I hate most is the turtleneck."
Chenma shook his head decisively and refused. How much irritation would it be to wear it around his neck? After thinking about it, Chenma said: "I want to wear it on my arm or use it as a belt, so it won't affect my flexibility."
"It's good to wear on the arm, but it may cinch the arm and make it difficult to exert force. You have to use an elastic bandage to tie it. As for using it as a belt, wouldn't it be a bit indecent?"
Minato thought about it and gave his opinion. Tatsuma nodded thoughtfully and wore it around his waist. It was indeed a bit indecent, especially when meeting ninjas from other villages.
Although ninjas have clothes with the ninja village logo such as chuunin and jounin vests, in many cases, ninjas may not wear vests every day. Therefore, when meeting ninjas from other villages, the most convenient thing is to take care of them.
If you use the forehead protector as a belt, then when you greet a ninja from another village in the future, if the other party wants to identify you, he or she will have to glance at your waist. It would be better if you meet a female ninja from another village, but it would be a male ninja.
Tatsuma shuddered and felt that only two passionate ninjas, Metkai and Xiao Li, could tolerate such prying eyes, so he might as well forget it.
"It's my arm. I'll buy some elastic bandages when I get back."
While the two were talking about high-quality ninja outfits, a jounin walked up to the two of them with a smile and said: "Sakamoto Tatsuma, Namikaze Minato?"
"Yes."*2
Because they didn't know who this jounin was, the two of them just saluted and said yes without any honorific. The jounin didn't say much and said, "Please follow me, Hokage-sama is already waiting for you."
Following the Jonin into the Hokage's building, he came to the Hokage's office. The Jonin knocked on the door. After hearing a "come in" from inside, he opened the door and motioned for the two of them to come in. He then closed the door and left.
"Tatsuma, Haiyi."
"Hokage-sama."*2
The two of them saluted and Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be too formal."
After the two of them stood up, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "You must also know the reason why I summoned you today, so I won't waste any more nonsense.
Your team leader is tentatively named Jiraiya, and you should be familiar with it, but this is only temporary, after all, there are only two of you, and the team may change in the future, do you understand?"
Hearing that it was indeed Jiraiya who was leading the team, Tatsuma breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said at the same time as Minato: "Understood."*2
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then looked aside and said, "Jiraiya, are you satisfied? Your two subordinates."
The two of them followed the gaze of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and found that Jiraiya was already standing there with a smile at some point. He nodded and said:
"If possible, I would even like to accept both of them as disciples."
After hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato smiled happily, but Tatsuma noticed the information revealed in Jiraiya's words.
