Chapter 22 Paid Courses for the Second Semester

"Hey~ chief students."

As soon as he arrived at Konoha Ninja School, Tatsuma heard strange sounds, and Minato, who was a step late, also showed a confused look.

Looking towards the place where the sound came from, the two of them saw Shikaku, Ding Zao and Haiyi, looking at the two of them with a mocking look on their faces. The strange voice came from Shikaku, and they saw that the two of them noticed him.

, Lujiu said again:

"Since the founding of the Ninja School, you are the only one who has been co-chief student. Shouldn't you treat me, this stepping stone, to a meal?"

Hearing this, before Tatsuma and Minato could react, Choza, who was eating potato chips, suddenly raised his hands high and said, "Me! And me! I'll be a stepping stone too!"

"."

Everyone fell silent, especially Shikaku. He was joking to himself just now, saying that he was his stepping stone, but Ding Zao was quite glorious?

Fortunately, Shikaku and Haiichi have grown up playing with Choza, and they know the Akimichi family's obsession with eating. Even in and outside the village, many people think that Konoha's three pig, deer, and butterfly clans are

The pig in the middle is from the Akimichi clan.

"Chief student? It feels pretty good, Minato. It seems you didn't lose to me."

Tatsuma smiled and patted Minato on the shoulder. In the test before the holiday, he and Minato performed almost the same in the actual combat test. However, Tatsuma had a stronger desire to win and TKO Minato with Senbon on his back.

Moreover, Tatsuma and Shikaku almost had a bye in the first round, which would indeed reduce his points. Therefore, even if Tatsuma wins all three games and Minato wins two of three, it is normal for the ratings to be consistent.

It's just that this ended up being a mismatch between the two. Tatsuma wouldn't be upset because he didn't get the talent limit reward this time. Minato's performance was indeed good and worthy of the chief student's rating.

Not to mention that after the test, Minato begged Tsunade to heal his injuries. Without the assistance of Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, Tatsuma felt that at least half of his vacation time would have been wasted.

At first, Minato was worried that Tatsuma, who had an overly strong desire to win and lose, would find it difficult to accept it, but when he saw him smiling, he recognized Tatsuma even more in his heart, so he said:

"Then I'll treat everyone to ramen tonight, but it's only for a few people. I don't have much money."

"Okay~"

Tatsuma suddenly blended in with the Inaraka butterfly, cheering for Namikaze-san's magnanimity.

The first day of the new semester was very relaxing. Sarutobi Aura announced the results happily. Everyone's performance last semester was satisfactory to Sarutobi Aura, especially Tatsuma and Minato.

He was the one who made the decision to recruit these two civilian students into the first class, and also eliminated a child from the Shimura clan for this purpose. Originally, he was a little worried that these two people would disappear from everyone after enrolling.

But a genius is a genius after all. Tatsuma and Minato lived up to his expectations and became the top students in the first grade of Ninja School, and also gained the attention of the Sandaime-sama and Jiraiya.

Sarutobi Heura praised the two of them for a long time. Even though they were both Tatsuma and Tatsuma, they both blushed at the praise. They were not excited, but ashamed. After all, they were still praised in such a way for their level.

Sure enough, when it comes to praising others, he Chenma has to continue to learn. Otherwise, he deserves to be you in one sentence and worthy of you in the other sentence, making himself look like an illiterate.

However, not everyone was satisfied with Sarutobi Aura. After praising them, Sarutobi Aura also criticized a very few students who were born in the shadow secret arts family without naming them.

There are also a very small number of descendants of the Hokage's military advisor, and the son of a certain Konoha Jonin squad leader. This unknown classmate has a lax attitude and is not enterprising. He also disrupts the class and brings bad luck to other students.

In response, Nara Shikaku, who was born in a think tank family, said that he could not guess who Sarutobi Awaura was talking about, and he was even curious if there was this student in the class.

After talking for a while, Sarutobi Aura finally finished his summary of the previous semester, but at this time, the morning class had just finished.

Inokacho and the three went home and told their parents that they would not go back to eat in the evening, while Tatsuma and Minato still stayed at the ninja school to eat lunch. This was also an important reason why Minato did not treat guests until evening.

During the lunch break, Tatsuma took the time to play shogi with Minato and did not engage in physical activity. Moreover, Tatsuma also urgently needed to improve his shogi level, otherwise it would be difficult for him to extract wool from Shikaku's body in the future.

The only game that Shikaku is interested in is playing shogi, and his level is very good. Tatsuma can only win one or two games in ten games, but this is the best way that Tatsuma can find to increase the upper limit of virtuousness.

Because Shikaku never drops other talents, the only thing he drops is virtue.

Back in the afternoon, Sarutobi Awaura began to introduce the content of the second semester. It was similar to what Tatsuma had learned before. He needed to learn two E-level ninjutsu, the Escape Technique and the Cloak Cloak Invisibility Technique.

And both of these ninjutsu require money.

Of course, it is not the tuition fee, but the props needed in the process of learning ninjutsu. For example, the escape technique requires ropes, potions, small steel ropes that can be sewn into the sleeves, etc.

The coir raincoat invisibility technique is more like a handicraft class, and you need to purchase tools and materials yourself.

When they heard the news, everyone else looked indifferent, but Tatsuma and Minato were in trouble. After all, they were the only two orphans in the class, and their families didn't have much money.

But when Sarutobi Aura handed out the purchase list, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, because these things were not particularly expensive, and the price happened to be the New Year's money included in the New Year's greetings sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen during the New Year.

In other words, in fact, the village has already prepared the money for them to purchase these things. Tatsuma and Minato have fixed consumption standards, but there may be some people in the school who don't know how to restrain their spending.

It's just that these things are not what the two children should care about. They are just glad that they did not spend the new year's money lavishly.

After handing out the purchase list and teaching materials, Sarutobi Aura simply talked about the arrangements for this semester and left the classroom, leaving everyone with time for self-study.

Of course, no one was actually studying on their own. The children, who were still in the holiday syndrome, were busy discussing interesting things that happened during the New Year, and some of them said that Lu Jiu was reading chess records.

Minato was the only one who honestly studied on his own, and even Tatsuma was having random thoughts, such as bringing over the chess games he knew from his previous life and tricking Shikaku into playing with him.

Tatsuma is just a novice at shogi, but when it comes to backgammon, he was the master of chess in the neighborhood in his previous life. None of the boys, girls, or grandparents could beat him.

After thinking about it, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the three of them blocked Tatsuma and Minato's row of seats with malicious intentions, as if they were afraid that they would run away.

Minato was a good boy who was honest and trustworthy. He actually took a few people to eat ramen. Shikaku and Haiichi were not polite and ordered the most expensive ramen with extra ingredients. Ding Zao even ordered five bowls.

But Minato still kept smiling, after all, he could still afford to spend. When he finished eating and was about to pay, both Tatsuma and Inogacho took out their wallets consciously.

"Well, wasn't it me who invited you?"

Minato, who was taking out his wallet, was stunned for a moment. Shikaku shook his head and said, "If my mother finds out that I defrauded my classmates, she will beat her to death. Please spare me."

With that said, Shikaku was the first to hand over the money to the boss. Minato was stunned. When it was his turn, he only had to hand over his money.

On the way home, Tatsuma looked at Minato who was still a little confused, patted his shoulder and said, "Unlike us, they never lack money for a bowl of ramen, but they want to use this method to get closer to us.

It’s just a little distance.”

"is that so?"
