Chapter 112 - 112: An Old Friend Who Arrived At Konoha
Hattori Hirakawa.
A conscientious tool man.
Since the death of Hanzo, Hattori Hirakawa was the first to surrender and gradually began to be entrusted with important tasks by Konan and Uehara.
Today, he got another special mission, acting as a team leader of Uehara Naraku, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Yuki Haku to take the Chunin exam.
This mission made Hattori Hirakawa speechless.
The future leader of Amegakure still needs to take the Chunin exam?
However, Hattori Hirakawa is only a tool man, he can only obey and perform the mission.
Except for Uehara's team, there is no other ninjas team who will take the Chunin Exam, because Uehara knows that the Chunin Exam will not be peaceful.
Even if the Fourth Kazekage were killed by him, Konoha's collapse plan is likely to be staged as scheduled. After all, Uehara himself was the black hand who pushed Konoha's collapse plan!
When Uehara used the name of Shimura Danzo to trade with Ebizo, he reminded Ebizo that the Konoha collapse plan was an action to promote Danzo to become Hokage.
Coupled with the hatred of Chiyo towards Konoha...
No matter who wants Konoha to collapse, the current Chiyo will definitely take Suna Ninja to help. This is a debt left by Kakashi's father.
"This is your certificate of registration."
Konan handed Uehara a registration certificate and helped him sort out his Ame ninja forehead protector: "How did you convince Nagato to agree to take the Chunin exam?"
"Uh."
Uehara patted his forehead and explained softly: "Nagato-sama told me that he will put the Six Pain on standby at any time, and I can directly summon the Six Pain as long as I encounter an unsolvable danger."
This is also related to the gradual recovery of Nagato's body.
Six Pain needs Nagato to provide chakras, but now Nagato can fully support Six Pain's actions for a long time under the treatment of Uehara. It is no longer necessary to put Six Pains into the secret room to reduce his chakra consumption.
Hearing Uehara's words, Konan nodded, feeling a little at ease.
But she was still a bit dissatisfied: "Nagato has been more and more laissez-faire towards you recently. If he continues to do so, he will spoil you. Tsunade, one of Konoha Sannin, became infected by a bad hobby because he was spoiled by her elders when she was young..."
"Sensei, I have grown up."
Uehara glanced at Konan a little speechlessly.
Because in the past four years, as Uehara grew up, the relationship between him and Nagato gradually became better and better. Generally, if he wants anything he can go directly to Nagato, if he wants to sneak out and play for a while, Nagato also covers him.
How should Uehara explain this to Konan?
Generally speaking, the younger boys are curious about women, and they prefer to play with girls; as boys get older, they will realize that they are more willing to play with boys.
Nagato seldom disturbs Uehara. Only when something happy is worth sharing, he will call Uehara to find him.
For example, the weapon modification of Ashura Path. Every time Nagato succeeded in the modification, he liked to pull Uehara to test the actual combat effectiveness. Guns and artillery were originally a man's romance.
So every time Uehara saw Nagato, he was very happy.
Unfortunately, these cannot be shared with Konan.
Konan is a woman who likes to fold different paper flowers and put them as decorations in Uehara's room, but Uehara can't even understand the flower meaning of each bouquet.
Compared with the beautiful paper flowers, Uehara prefers Konan to use the explosive tag to make him a simple grenade to play with.
This wish is of course impossible to realize.
Uehara sighed and glanced at his ninja registration certificate. The picture in it shows him squinting and smiling. He looks very friendly and a good person.
[Career advancement mission: Become a formal ninja (1/1), the task has been completed, rewards 100 points of life energy and 100 points of Chakra.]
"..."
Uehara is not feeling very well. He is sixteen years old this year. Why does he still have an advanced mission? Isn't it a big loss in these past few years?
"Okay, the weather is getting cold soon, pay attention to it at night..."
Konan tells Uehara about the precautions, and after walking with him to the meeting place, the gentle expression on the woman's face disappeared.
Konan glanced at Kimimaro, Haku, and Hirakawa who were at the meeting place, and said coldly: "In this Chunin Exam, protect Naraku safety, understand?"
"Yes, Lady Angel!"
"..."
Uehara couldn't help but patted his forehead. If something goes wrong during the Chunin Exam, he will be the one to protect these guys!
The highest tower in Amegakure.
Tendo Pain pushed Nagato's wheelchair and appeared by the window, looking down at the back of Uehara and his group leaving the Village. His eyes were a little heavy and hopeful: "Little guy, who will shoulder the future of Amegakure and Akatsuki, Fly out!"
Tendo Pain stood behind Nagato, calmly began to close his hands to form handseals, and released the Astral Projection Jutsu to summon Akatsuki's two active members near the country of fire.
Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.
When the two were summoned by Pain, they were still a little puzzled. Tendo Pain directly explained their next mission.
"Uehara went to Chunin exam to collect information."
Tendo Pain's gaze slowly stayed on Uchiha Itachi, and he whispered: "Your mission is to lurch in the country of fire. If something happens in the Chunin exam, immediately respond and leave with Uehara if he is in danger."
Kisame is a bit speechless.
If Uehara is in danger, what use will he and Itachi be?
Are we going to give our heads away?
Kisame's teeth are a bit sour, his boss is too talented, right? Four years have passed. Why does Pain think that the intern in the organization is too weak?
"understood."
Itachi nodded indifferently, anyway he wanted to take this opportunity to return to Konoha to secretly meet Sasuke, who has become a ninja.
Some time ago, Zabuza was injured by Kakashi. That guy claimed that he will kill them the next time he met Kakashi and Team 7.
Itachi was a little worried about his brother.
After Kisame nodded, his eyes turn slightly to Itachi. He knew what Itachi thought in his heart.
Amegakure is in the light, and the Akatsuki organization is in the dark.
Uehara crossed the border of the country of fire under the protection of Anbu and arrived at Konohagakure where the Chunin exam was held.
This was also the first time he came to Konohagakure.
Whether it is the environment or the scenery, Konohagakure, which is located in the richest area of Ninja World, is obviously much better than Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Kirigakure.
"The air here is not bad."
Uehara landed on a tall building, and he had an unobstructed view of Konoha. Below the Hokage Rock was a small red Hokage Tower.
[Side mission: Arrive at Konoha (1/1), the mission is completed, the reward is 100 gold coins.]
[Side mission: Find the best viewpoint in Konoha (1/1), the mission has been completed, the reward is 500 gold coins.]
"This kind of mission is too intriguing!"
Uehara couldn't help but clenched his fingers.
It is indeed the most popular place in Naruto anime, how many treasures there are waiting for him to dig!
Just when Uehara was in a good mood, Haku suddenly jumped up following Uehara's footsteps, and whispered: "Uehara, the ninja from Sunagakure is here too!"
"I know."
Uehara lowered his head and glanced at a large number of Suna ninjas.
The leader of the team is still Baki, and it seems that Baki's status has not fallen too much after Chiyo took office.
Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro are still the three little guys following Baki, and the rest are insignificant people.
Uehara touched his chin and smiled lightly: "Tsk, it seems that I have to say hello to my old friend, lest he says something wrong here, and delay my enjoyment of this peaceful journey! "
