Chapter 113: Sometimes Konoha Plays a Sad Role
The streets of Konoha.
The Suna ninja team who had come to take the Chunin exam suddenly stopped.
Bakis eyes widened as he looked at Uehara, who was standing on the side of the street, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Ueharas appearance had changed a bit, but Baki could still recognize his appearance from the outline of Ueharas face. The image of that incredible young man had been carved into his mind when he killed the Fourth Kazekage, almost leading to the Sunagakure collapse.
Its been a long time, Baki-san.
Uehara slowly walked towards Baki and whispered, What should be said can be said, and what should not be said cannot be said. Otherwise, I might not let you go this time. You and that Jinchuriki boy.
Bakis body was trembling slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, You.. .what were you doing in Konoha?
Im here to take the Chunin exam, of course.
Uehara pa.s.sed Baki and walked in front of Gaara. Looking at the fierce red-haired boy, he touched his hair.
Kankuros face suddenly changed, fearing that Gaara would rampage here. He and his sister started to stop him in panic, STOP!
Over the past four years, Gaaras temper had become more and more gloomy.
Even if Kankuro and Temari were relatives of Gaara, they were still afraid of their brother out of fear that Gaara might kill them.
But Gaara did not move at all.
The yellow sand gradually leaked from the gourd behind Gaara and slowly appeared to block Ueharas hand.
Bang!
Uehara scattered the yellow sand and landed on Gaaras body.
Uehara gently slapped the scattered yellow sand on Gaaras body and whispered, Little guy, if youre here to take the Chunin exam too, then we were opponents. I hope you dont run too fast this time
Gaara raised his head with a gloomy expression. While staring into Ueharas eyes, he said coldly, Dont touch me with your dirty hands!
Then why dont you just kill me now?
Uehara held Gaaras head and smiled lightly, You know that you are weak and can not defeat me, right?
Sooner or later, I will kill you!
Gaara gritted his teeth.
Then you have to be careful.
Uehara patted Gaara on the head and continued with a smile, Killing is allowed during the Chunin exam, be careful from now on, Gaara!
Gaara looked at Uehara, leaving with a gloomy face.
Although Gaara had become more bloodthirsty and cruel, he still understood his own strength.
Even the Ichibi, who had attacked with all his strength, was strung up and beaten by Uehara, not to mention his own lacking strength.
The Chunin exam had not started yet, but he had already been defeated.
Is that guy a ninja from the Amegakure?
Kankuro looked at Ueharas departing back with a displeased face and was about to untie the puppet behind him but was stopped by Baki with a wave of his hand.
Temaris expression was also a bit solemn, That guy was too arrogant. Is his strength also as overbearing?
That b.a.s.t.a.r.d
Gaaras body gradually began to tremble, and the veins on his face showed up little by little, and his eyes gradually revealed a madness, Hes very very strong!
A look of worry appeared on Bakis face. He shook his head and said, You guys go to the hotel first. I have to discuss something with others and report to Chiyo-sama.
Unexpectedly, this Chunin exam managed to attract a ninja like Uehara to take part. The people in the Konohagakure, have they gone crazy?
A character who could kill the Fourth Kazekage was invited to take the Chunin exam?
It couldnt be more absurd!
However, when Baki reported to Chiyo and Ebizo in Sanagakure, Ebizo thought nothing was wrong with this matter. They would still prioritize their plans for the Chunin exam.
As for the possible ma.s.sacre that that guy named Uehara Naraku might cause during the Chunin Exam, Ebizo knew very well that Konoha would never allow that to happen. If it did happen, it would turn the Amegakure and Konohagakure into enemies.
In addition to Baki, a Konoha ninja also discovered Uehara.
In fact, apart from him, no one gave the guy named Uehara Naraku sent from Amegakure to take the Chunin exam a second look.
It was Team 7s instructor, Hatake Kakas.h.i.+.
Ichiraku Ramen.
Uehara was eating very cheerfully.
Uehara was in an excellent mood right now. There were a huge number of missions in Konoha, and they were all really easy to complete. Even eating a bowl of ramen had rewards.
If Kakas.h.i.+ were not here, he would be even happier.
Kakas.h.i.+ sat next to Uehara, holding a gla.s.s of water, and asked aloud, So you were a ninja from Amegakure That guy Obito hid in the Land of Rain after the Ninja War ended, right?
They had met before in the Kirigakure.
At that time, Kakas.h.i.+ learned from Uehara that Obito had been hiding in a small ninja village, competing with Uehara for the successor to the village leader.
But Kakas.h.i.+ didnt expect Uchiha Obito to have hidden in the Amegakure, under the command of the ninja demiG.o.d Hanzo.
He defected after his ident.i.ty was revealed.
Uehara put down the bowl, took the chopsticks and slowly picked up the ramen in the bowl, and whispered, I dont know anything about what happened later. Kakas.h.i.+-san didnt even tell me that your Konoha S-cla.s.s missing-nin was such a big deal.
Uh we dont need to mention that.
Kakas.h.i.+ frowned, squeezed the cup in his hand, and turned to talk about another thing, I met two people on one of my missions
When he said these words, Kakas.h.i.+ fixed his eyes firmly on Ueharas movement, and his voice gradually became a little serious, But I saw them obey your order last time
Kakas.h.i.+ was talking about Mangetsu and Zabuza.
Obviously, in the Land of Waves mission, those two people had caused a lot of trouble to him and Team 7. If it werent for lightning ninjutsu restraining Mangetsu hydrification, he was afraid that Team 7 wouldve stayed in the Land of Waves forever.
They are not our Ame Ninja!
Uehara shook his head and said with a sullen expression, You should ask your S-rank missing-nin, ask Uchiha Obito about their actions?
Did they take refuge with Obito?
Kakas.h.i.+ almost smashed the gla.s.s. He probably realized that from Ueharas words, causing him to lose his temper.
Well, Konohas Uchiha Obito was really good.
Uehara turned his head to look at Kakas.h.i.+, Thanks to that Uchiha Obito, our losses became very heavy and destroyed the Amegakures many years of hard work.
Kakas.h.i.+s expression became a little embarra.s.sed, and he was roughly aware of what he was talking about, so he forcibly changed the topic, The two children you abducted to Amegakure back then, have they joined the Amegakure?
Kimimaro and Haku were not Kiri ninjas. They were orphans in the Land of Water.
Uehara shook his head. After explaining seriously, he looked at Kakas.h.i.+ a little sarcastically and said, Uchiha Obito must be your Konohas spy. After all, if our Amegakure became stronger, Konohas situation would not be good. Now hes caused us heavy losses. Your Konoha council must be delighted, right?
How could that be true? Konohagakure and Amegakure have a peace agreement.
Kakas.h.i.+s eyes were subtle, but he suddenly thought of something, stared at the face of Uehara, and said, Your purpose in taking this Chunin exam is it to promote the strength of the Amegakure?
Kakas.h.i.+ had seen the strength of Uehara with his own eyes. When this guy was only twelve years old, he killed a group of ninja from the Land of Water, like slaughtering chickens.
From the power of Uehara displayed there, there was no need for him to take the Chunin exam.
Yes.
Uehara took this opportunity to explain his reasons for taking the Chunin exam, The losses caused by that guy Uchiha Obito were too great, and the situation in our village is not very good. Hanzo-sama has begun to worry about our neighboring countries.
Since graduating, I have been the secret weapon prepared for an arms race like the Chunin exam, and now I need to partic.i.p.ate in these little childrens games.
Listening to Ueharas words, Kakas.h.i.+ became a little confused.
A feeling of frustration emerged spontaneously, and Kakas.h.i.+ couldnt help but lament the difficulty of living in small and medium-sized Ninja Villages.
If Uehara were one of Konohas ninjas, there would have been no need to prepare for the Chunin exam, and he would surely be able to become an Anbu team captain.
This issue is, if Uehara took this Chunin exam, the exam would be quite dangerous, and Kakas.h.i.+ now wanted to stop Team 7 from partic.i.p.ating.
Kakas.h.i.+ sighed and said, If you partic.i.p.ate, the little kids in my team dont need to partic.i.p.ate, lest they be hit too much I originally wanted them to experience the Chunin exam.
Uh!f???we???. cm
Uehara almost spits out a mouthful of water. If Team 7 did not take the Chunin exam, what would he do about those side missions?
Ueharas strength had stagnated for a while. He was waiting to harvest the leeks that were Team 7 and the other rookie teams!
This is Konoha, and I wont do anything too dangerous.
Uehara put his hand on Kakas.h.i.+s shoulders and showed a hearty smile, Why dont we do this, Kakas.h.i.+-san? Lets test my current strength and regardless of whether I win or lose. Ill take care of the little kids in your team. How about we put on a good show for them?
Is it really necessary?
Kakas.h.i.+ was dumbfounded.
Ive come here from afar.
Uehara was very persistent, and he even began to offer, Kakas.h.i.+-san can also call your friends, lets discuss it together.
Whether it was Hanzo-sama or Konoha Third Hokage-sama, they are already very old. We will be the ones to perform exchanges between the two Ninja villages in the future, right?
This proposal is pretty good.
An old voice suddenly fell into the ears of the two.
Sarutobi Hiruzen dangling his pipe and wearing a Hokage hat, walked into the ramen shop. When he looked at Uehara, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his face, Kakas.h.i.+, why dont you introduce your friend?
