I can talk to Kakashi about letting you join the Anbu for training.
There are more battles there, and you can grow quickly.
Of course, how fast you grow mainly depends on your personal effort.
If you can work as hard as Rock Lee.
You will grow very quickly.
Keep it up."
Sasuke heard Bai Hao mention Rock Lee.
He immediately clenched his fists involuntarily.
He recalled Rock Lee's terrifying strength after opening his gates not long ago.
"If he can do it, so can I!"
Sasuke made up his mind to train hard.
Then he nodded with a grateful expression.
"Thank you."
"Ding! Plot changed, gained 20,000 plot points!"
"Not bad, not bad~"
Bai Hao couldn't help but smile as he watched Sasuke walk away to clean.
"Even a small mosquito is still meat~"
"Th-that…"
Hinata's face was red, and she kept poking her two index fingers together in front of her, looking very guilty.
"Bai Hao-kun…
I…"
"I know, you didn't do it on purpose~"
Bai Hao stood up with a smile.
He patted Hinata's little head.
He said gently, "This isn't some big secret.
It's fine.
Besides, you're really cute when you can't lie."
"Huh?"
Hinata was startled.
Then the temperature on her face rose sharply.
Finally, with a "bang," she fainted directly.
Bai Hao: "…"
"When will you get rid of this habit!"
Bai Hao was a little speechless for a moment.
…
Hinata was quickly picked up by the Hyuga family.
Seeing that Naruto and the other two had finished cleaning.
So, Bai Hao generously treated the three of them to a meal at Ichiraku Ramen.
During the meal, Bai Hao proactively told Naruto to come find him tomorrow.
He would teach Naruto some things.
Naruto was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Bai Hao was also happy to see this.
Inadvertently, he had gained a few more plot points.
With his appearance and guidance, the bond between Naruto and the two and the Sannin might be severed.
Then he would harvest another wave of plot points.
This was very satisfying.
After the meal, everyone left.
Bai Hao walked alone towards the bookstore.
However, he hadn't yet reached the bookstore.
He sensed that someone was quietly waiting for him at the bookstore's entrance.
It was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Upon seeing this, Bai Hao immediately smiled.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen~
This is a qualified ATM machine~"
Orochimaru had not left Konoha Village.
Instead, he had been secretly preparing to cause trouble.
The Third Hokage would probably "die" repeatedly under the influence of fate.
If he could take the opportunity to save Hiruzen a few times.
Then he could continuously withdraw money as if from a broken ATM machine, frantically racking up plot points.
"I have to say.
Many times, saving people earns more plot points than killing them!"
Chapter 18: Third Hokage, I see a sign of death on your face! [Third update for fresh flowers and collections]
"Third Hokage~"
Bai Hao nodded slightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a greeting.
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled as he took down his pipe.
He pointed to the bookstore and said with a chuckle, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit?"
"Smoking is prohibited in this bookstore."
"…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen awkwardly extinguished his pipe and put it away.
"Ahem~
When you get old, sometimes you just can't control your smoking habit."
"Third Hokage, please come in."
The two entered the bookstore and sat on the sofa.
Bai Hao poured him a cup of tea.
Then the two of them sat on the sofa, staring at each other.
For some reason.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt like he was being treated as food.
"This kid, his eyes are so strange!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't take it anymore.
So, he proactively spoke, "I know about you teaching Hinata.
It's very good that you actively help your classmates."
With that, he paused slightly.
Then he glanced at Bai Hao.
However, he did not see the joyous expression he wanted to see after being praised.
This made him a little depressed.
However, he didn't mind.
Instead, he continued, "Since you don't want to be a Ninja anymore.
I don't want to persuade you further.
However, since you have a talent for teaching others.
Are you interested in becoming a teacher at the academy?"
"I don't have money to hire someone to watch the bookstore right now.
So, let's talk about it later."
"I see~"
Hiruzen took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.
He felt it was quite reasonable.
"Actually, you can start as a private tutor~
Have your students come to the bookstore.
You can teach your students while watching the shop."
"That's a good idea.
Third Hokage, I will consider this problem."
"Hmm~"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
He felt that Bai Hao was actually quite good.
Strong, smart, sensible, and obedient.
"By the way, Third Hokage.
Have you heard of divination Ninjutsu?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "?"
"It's a Ninjutsu that can be used for divination."
Seeing the confusion on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
Bai Hao smiled and continued, "I was fortunate enough to learn such a Ninjutsu.
And I used this divination Ninjutsu to perform a divination.
Then I obtained some secret techniques.
The secret technique I gave to Hinata is one of them."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "!"
"Just recently.
I used this divination Ninjutsu to divine the Chunin Exams.
And I got a shocking result.
That is, someone with a long tongue, who likes to stick out their tongue, will attack Konoha Village.
