Chapter 113 - 113: On The Days When Konoha Played A Sad Role
Konoha Street.
The Suna ninja team who had come to take the Chunin exam stopped.
Baki's eyes widened as he looked at Uehara who was standing on the side of the street and his eyes were full of disbelieve.
Uehara's appearance has already changed a bit. But Baki can still recognize his appearance from the outline on Uehara's face. The image of that incredible young man has already been carved into his mind because he killed the Fourth Kazekage, almost letting Sunagakure collapsed.
"It's been a long time, Baki-san."
Uehara slowly walked towards Baki and whispered beside him: "What should be said can be said and what should not be said cannot be said. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will let you go this time. You and that Jinchuriki boy."
Baki's body was trembling slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "You...what are you doing in Konoha?"
"Of course I will take the Chunin exam."
Uehara bypassed Baki, walked in front of Gaara, looking at this fierce red-haired boy he touched his hair.
Kankuro's face suddenly changed. For fear that Gaara would rampage here, he and his sister started to stop him in panic: "STOP!"
In the past four years, Gaara's temper has become more and more grumpy.
Even if Kankuro and Temari are relatives of Gaara, they will inevitably be afraid of their brother for 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 Uehara's hand.
Bang!
The yellow sand was scattered by Uehara and fell on Gaara's body.
Uehara gently slapped the scattered yellow sand on Gaara's body and whispered: "Little guy, if you are also here to take the Chunin exam, then we are opponents. I hope you don't run too fast this time... "
Gaara raised his head with a gloomy expression. While staring into the eyes of Uehara he said coldly: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
"Then why don't you just kill me now?"
Uehara held Gaara's head and smiled lightly: "Because you know that you are weak and cannot 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: "Death is allowed in the Chunin exam, be careful from now on, Gaara!"
"..."
Gaara looked at Uehara leaving with a gloomy face.
Although Gaara has become more bloodthirsty and cruel, he still has little self-knowledge.
Even the Ichibi who was attacking with all his strength was hung up and beaten by Uehara, not to mention his current strength is not particularly strong.
The Chunin exam has not started yet, but he is already been defeated.
"Is that guy a ninja from Amegakure?"
Kankuro looked at Uehara's departed 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.
Temari's expression is also a bit solemn: "That guy is too arrogant, will his strength be also that strong?"
"That bastard..."
Gaara's body gradually began to tremble, and the veins on his face showed up little by little, and his eyes gradually revealed a madness: "Very...very strong!"
A look of worry appeared on Baki's face. He shook his head and said: "You guys go to the hotel first. I will discuss something with others and report to Chiyo-sama."
Unexpectedly, this Chunin exam would attract a ninja like Uehara to take part. The people in Konohagakure, have their brains gone crazy?
A character who can kill the Fourth Kazekage was actually invited to take the Chunin exam?
It couldn't be more absurd!
However, when Baki reported to Chiyo and Ebizo in Sanagakure, Ebizo thought that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and they will still prioritize the plan that will happen in the Chunin exam.
As for the possible massacre of that guy named Uehara Naraku during the Chunin Exam, Ebizo knew very well that Konoha would never allow this to happen. If it did happen, it would just turn Amegakure and Konohagakure into enemies.
In addition to Baki, a Konoha ninja also discovered Uehara.
In fact, apart from him, no one cares about a guy named Uehara Naraku on the list of ninjas sent by Amegakure to take the Chunin exam.
It is Team 7 ninja instructor Hatake Kakashi.
Ichiraku Ramen.
Uehara eating very cheerfully.
Uehara is in a very good mood right now. It is always so simple to do the system mission in Konoha, and these missions are so easy to complete. Drinking a bowl of ramen also has system mission rewards.
If Kakashi is not here, he would be even happier.
Kakashi sat next to Uehara, holding a glass of water, and asked aloud: "So you are a ninja from Amegakure... It seems that guy Obito has been hiding in the Country of Rain after the Ninja War ended, right?"
They had met before in Kirigakure.
At that time, Kakashi learned from Uehara that Uchiha Obito had been hiding in a small ninja village, competing with Uehara for the position of successor to the village leader.
It's a pity that Kakashi didn't expect that Uchiha Obito turned out to be hiding in Amegakure and under the command of the ninja demigod Hanzo.
"He defected after his identity was revealed."
Uehara put down the bowl, took the chopsticks and slowly picked the ramen in the bowl, and whispered: "I don't know anything about what happened later, and Kakashi-san didn't even tell me that your Konoha S-class missing-nin is such a big deal."
"Uh... we don't need to mention this."
Kakashi frowned, squeezed the cup in his hand, and turned to talk about another thing: "I met two people in one of my mission..."
When he said these words, Kakashi fixed his eyes firmly on Uehara's movement, and his voice gradually became a little serious: "But before that, I saw them obey your order last time..."
What Kakashi is talking about should be Mangetsu and Zabuza.
Obviously, in the country of wave mission, these two people caused a lot of trouble to him and Team 7. If it weren't for lightning ninjutsu to restrain Mangetsu hydrification, I am afraid that Team 7 will stay in the country of wave forever.
"They are not our Ame Ninja!"
Uehara shook his head, and said with a sullen expression: "It's better to ask your S-rank missing-nin, ask Uchiha Obito, of what did he do?"
"Did they take refuge to Obito?"
Kakashi almost smashed the glass. He probably guessed from Uehara's words and why he lost his temper.
"Well, Konoha Uchiha Obito is really good."
Uehara turned his head to look at Kakashi: "Thanks to that Uchiha Obito, our losses can be said to be very heavy, and our many years of hard work in Amegakure were destroyed by him. ."
"..."
Kakashi's expression was a little embarrassed, and he was roughly certain of what he is talking about, so he forcibly changes the topic: "The two children you abducted in Amegakure back then have joined your Amegakure?"
"Kimimaro and Haku are not Kiri ninjas, they are orphans in the country of water."
Uehara shook his head. After explaining seriously, he looked at Kakashi a little sarcastically and said: "Uchiha Obito must be your Konoha spy. After all, if our Amegakure becomes stronger, Konoha's situation will not be good. Now he has caused us to suffer heavy losses. Your Konoha council must be very satisfied, right?"
"How come? Konohagakure and Amegakure have a peace agreement."
Kakashi's eyes were subtle, but he suddenly thought of something, stares at the face of Uehara, and said: "Your purpose to take this Chunin exam...is it to promote the strength of Amegakure?"
Kakashi had seen the strength of Uehara with his own eyes. When this guy was twelve years old, he killed a group of Ninja in the Country of Water, it was like slaughtering a chicken.
According to the power of Uehara display, there is no need for him to take the Chunin exam.
"Yes."
Uehara took this opportunity to directly explain his intention to take the Chunin exam: "Because the loss caused by that guy Uchiha Obito is too great, the situation in our village is not very good, Hanzo-sama is worried about the neighboring country.
Since I graduated, I have been the secret weapon prepared for an arms race like the Chunin exam, and now I need to participate in these little children's games. "
Listening to Uehara's words, he was a little confused.
A feeling of heroic frustration emerged spontaneously, and Kakashi couldn't help but lament the difficulty of living in a small and medium-sized Ninja Village.
If Uehara were their Konoha Ninja, there was no need to prepare for the Chunin exam, and he would surely be able to sit as an Anbu team captain.
It's just that if Uehara takes the Chunin exam, this Chunin exam seems to be a little dangerous, and Kakashi now wants to dispel the idea of letting Team 7 participate.
Kakashi sighed and said: "If you participate, the little kids in my team don't need to participate, lest they are hit too much... I originally wanted them to experience the Chunin exam."
"Uh!"
Uehara almost spits out a mouthful of water. If because of this reason, Team 7 does not take the Chunin exam, what will he do about those system side missions?
Uehara's strength has stagnated for a while, he is just waiting to harvest the leeks of Team 7 and other Konoha rookie Teams!
"This is Konoha, and I can't do anything too dangerous."
Uehara put his hand on Kakashi's shoulders and showed a hearty smile: "Why don't we do this, Kakashi-san, let's test my current strength and regardless of whether I win or lose. I will take care of your little kids in your team, how about we put a good show to them?"
"Is it really necessary?"
Kakashi was dumbfounded.
"I've come from afar."
Uehara was very resolute, and even he began to offer: "Kakashi-san can also call your friends, let's discuss it together.
Whether it is Hanzo-sama or Konoha Third Hokage-sama, they are already very old. The exchanges between the two Ninja villages in the future will be performed by us, right? "
"I think this proposal is 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, an old gentle smile slowly appeared on his face: "Kakashi, why don't you introduce your friend?"
