After Naruto left happily, Mai also prepared to leave and go home.
However, at this moment, a person wearing a cat mask suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hello, are you Mai Ayase?”
The person in the cat mask blocked Mai's path and bowed as he asked gently.
“……”
Mai felt like she was being approached by a police officer. This question was too formal.
Muye Dark Group! In just a moment, she confirmed the identity of the masked man.
The Dark Group was a special force of Kiha. They were mainly responsible for protecting the shadow and preventing foreign enemies from invading the Ninja Village. Sometimes, they were also responsible for reconnaissance and assassination missions. In simple words, they were the " relevant departments." It was not only mentioned in the original Naruto, but also in the school classrooms of this world.
It seemed that his actions were still too conspicuous.
Thinking about it, it made sense. A good-for-nothing who didn't know anything suddenly had the strength to endure in just a few days...
Did he think others were fools?
Mai sighed inwardly. This Kanye higher-up was making a mountain out of a molehill. He was so wary of a Humble Class. What kind of storm could a mere Genin like her cause?
"Yes."
Since she couldn't dodge it, Mai could only say this to the person in the cat mask.
The other party had already confirmed his identity. It was just a formality. So what if he did not admit it?
The man in the cat mask nodded and asked,""Alright, then are you willing to come with us?”
Mai heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. It seemed like this Dark Group wasn't the Dark Group of the underground organization " Root ", but the surface Dark Group that belonged to the third generation. The Dark Group of the Root wouldn't be so polite.
"Alright," Mai answered honestly.”
The man in the cat mask nodded and put Mai on.
Mai followed behind him. The two of them walked for a while before finally entering a domed building.
"Go in, Third Generation Lord Naruto has something to discuss with you.”They went up to the third floor and arrived at an office. The person in the cat mask knocked on the door. After receiving a response from inside, he spoke to Mai in a gentle tone.
Mai nodded, then pushed the door open and walked in.
The layout of the room was very simple. There was a large office desk in the middle and an old man wearing a bamboo hat sat behind it.
The old man looked old. He had a head full of white hair and a wrinkled face. He had a pipe in his mouth and was holding a newspaper in his hand. When he heard the door open, he put down the newspaper and looked up at the girl standing in front of him.
Was this the legendary peeping demon, the third generation Naruto?
Just as the third-generation successor was sizing Mai up, Mai was also sizing him up.
Regarding Naruto III, the fans of her original world had mixed opinions. Some said that he was a good person who had contributed to peace in Koba and had contributed to the construction of the village. Some said that he was too weak and had a compromising nature in his bones. He was not worthy of being a leader.
What was Mai's impression of this guy?
A standard peeping stick!
Look at the extra-large crystal ball on his table. What does that mean? Perhaps he used it to peep at the women's bathroom every day and didn't pay after looking at it. If this was in her original world, it would be a serious violation of privacy and indecency. The maximum sentence was twenty years.
The two sides sized each other up for a while. After a while, the third generation Naruto finally blew out a big smoke ring.
" If Keima and Ayumi were still alive, they would probably be forty years old…" Seiji glanced at Mai and said this with a profound meaning.
Guima and Bumei?
Mai thought for a long time before she remembered that the two people this old man was talking about were her cheap parents in this life.
As Mai didn't know what Naruto III was planning, she chose to remain silent.
Seeing that the girl in front of him did not speak, the third-generation old man took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring from his mouth. After a moment, he suddenly said,"Ayase Mai, are you interested in becoming a member of Kanye's Dark Group and making a great contribution to Kanye's logistics?”
“……”
Why did these words sound so familiar?
Mai thought about it for a moment before she tactfully probed the third generation,""Lord Naruto, isn't Muye's Dark Group only open to people above the level of Chuunin? I, Ayase Mai, am just a Genin…"
The third-generation successor shook his head." No, you were able to grow from an ordinary trainee ninja to Genin in just a week. You even defeated Haruno Sakura, who had good results, at lightning speed. This proves that your potential doesn't stop there."”
Alright, Mai finally understood after hearing the third generation's words.
So it wasn't because he was too awesome that he was invited to drink tea, but because he broke the arrangement.
Haruno Sakura was from a commoner family. It was probably because the higher-ups of Muye wanted to insert two second-generation emollients into the mix. His intervention had affected their plans and caused Haruno Sakura to fail. That was why he was invited to have tea.
You should have said so earlier! It seemed that the other party was here to test him and win over his heart.
Hence, Mai immediately made a judgment and climbed up the ladder. She made a solemn expression and said," Lord Naruto, please rest assured. Mai grew up in Koba, so this is my home. If there's anything that Mai can help me with, Lord Naruto, please let me know!”
"Yes, very good."
The third-generation old man nodded, seemingly satisfied with Mai's answer. It was said that families with dead parents tended to produce children who matured early. It seemed that he was right. This child was very sensible.
"I'll leave Sasuke and Naruto to you in the future.”He said in a tone that implied something else.
" What about the Dark Group…" Mai probed again.
"When you become a Chuunin, the doors of the Dark Group will open for you.”
The third-generation successor took a puff of his cigarette and casually brushed this matter aside. It seemed like he never intended to let Mai be the Dark Group in the first place.
The conversation between the two quickly ended.
After exiting the Naruto Building, Mai glanced at the building behind her and sighed inwardly.
These old guys didn't focus on building and developing productivity. They only knew how to play with the hearts of the powerful. No wonder this world was so easy to fight. The technology tree had not developed until now. If this was in her original world, it would probably be over with a few hydrogen bombs.
When he returned home, it was already sunset.
Mai had a simple dinner before she started her daily routine of cultivation.
As for the changes in the nature of the chakra, she felt that she still needed to practice it. At present, she had a B-grade fire escape talent. It would be better to practice one or two ninjutsu. This way, she would have a certain degree of self-protection in future missions or even in war.
"Si, Wei, Shen, Hai, Wu, Yin, Fire Escape, Grand Fireball Art!”
Mai formed a seal with her hands as she shouted. She held back her breath and took a deep breath, wanting to spit fire out of her mouth.
The Fire Escape Grand Fireball Technique was a ninjutsu technique recorded in the Encyclopedia of Ninjutsu that she had bought from a bookstore. It was only a C-level ninjutsu technique, not a high-level technique. Almost everyone with the Fire Escape talent knew it.
"Pfft!"
With a soft sound, a flame as thick as a finger jumped out of Mai's mouth…
That's right, it just popped out and created a small spark. It rubbed against the air twice and disappeared completely after a moment.
Alright, the facts proved that this body of hers was indeed trash.
This was a B-grade talent! If it was a D-grade talent, wouldn't there be no more flames?
Forget it, I even practiced my hair. Forget it.
Mai pouted and decisively gave up on her cultivation. She went to the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed.
That night, a heinous theft occurred in Woodleaf Village, which almost shocked the entire village.
The Book of Seals was stolen by a yellow-haired kid.
Everything proceeded according to the original plot.
Of course, Mai wouldn't care about that. She didn't have the ability to care about that right now. Besides, what could Naruto do without a shadow clone? Without the shadow clone, there would be no spiral-ball, no Ogyama spiral-ball, no spiral-shuriken, no spiral-ball, and Naruto would have to bid farewell to his meatball-making career. Was he still Naruto?
Naruto who didn't know how to make meatballs wasn't a good Naruto, so Mai wouldn't deliberately change the plot in the early stages.
This was also for the sake of her own strength. According to the analysis of this mission, Mai also sensed another piece of information.
The ninjutsu or ability that the target currently did not know would not be obtained even if she succeeded. In other words, the growth of the target was actually linked to her own growth.
Then, before she conquered the boys until she could change the world, she should just be a beautiful girl quietly.
