"Master Hokage!"
Hatake Kakashi's eyes froze when he saw the third Hokage, and his expression slowly eased, pointing to Uehara Naraku and said: "This is Mr. Uehara Naraku from Ugakure Village. We met by chance when we were performing missions outside. Been there once."
"Huh? So unfamiliar?"
Uehara Naraku draped Hatake Kakashi's shoulders, and said with dissatisfaction on his face: "I told you a lot of information for free, is this how I treat my old friend?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why is this ninja named Uehara Naraku so familiar
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Kakashi were in a different mood. He already knew Uehara Naraku's willingness to take the Chunin exam, but it was just a small ninja village wanting to promote the genius in the village.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a little more at ease in his heart.
As long as there is no major trouble in this joint Chunin exam, then it doesn't matter.
What makes Sarutobi Hiruzen even more rewarding is that the way Uehara Naraku and Hatake Kakashi get along seems a bit eclectic.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observation, this ninja named Uehara Naraku seems to have a good impression of Konoha.
A genius Amane ninja who has a crush on Konoha, if he can inherit the position of Umegashi's leader in the future, it can't be better for Konoha.
When thinking of this, the smile on Sarutobi's old face grew stronger: "Welcome to Konoha, what do you think of the scenery of our village?"
"It's beautiful, a scenery I've never seen before."
What Naraku Uehara said was half-truth and half-false, because it was the first time for him to see the scenery that he had seen countless times in the animation, and he could complete side missions by looking at the scenery.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi knowingly asked: "Is your Excellency the Jōnin who led the team to participate in the Zhongnin Exam in Yuyin Village this time? I have long heard that there is a genius ninja in Yuyin Village..."
"Uh, I'm just a ninja."
Uehara Naraku showed an embarrassing expression at the right time: "And you have to take this Chunin exam held by Konoha before you can be promoted to Chunin."
"True strong people are often not distinguished by their positions."
Sarutobi Hiruzen still smiled very kindly: "There are some very powerful Genin in our village, in fact, their strength is comparable to that of the Jōnin..."
This sentence is indeed true.
The title of Shinobi Konoha is really not something everyone can do.
Not to mention Kosuke Maruhoshi and Matt Dai who died in battle, just Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha right now, the future achievements should not be too scary.
There was a smile on Uehara Naraku's face, and he didn't pick up the words, but said softly: "Yes, I just didn't expect that Lord Sandai Hokage is as approachable as the rumors say."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi was more and more satisfied with Uehara Naraku, and he winked at Kakashi seriously, and said softly: "Kakashi, since your friend is here, take him around the village more. Take a turn!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Hatake Kakashi nodded, watching Hiruzaru Sarutobi's back go away.
After the old man left, Kakashi Hatake didn't say a word about Naraku Uehara's proposal for the previous discussion, and quietly changed the topic.
"You guys have changed a lot. When you were in the country of water a few years ago, you suspected that I coveted the treasures of your ninja village and told me to get away?"
"You were young and frivolous back then!"
Uehara Naraku sighed, and said with some nostalgia: "Sometimes you have experienced too many things, you will have to become smoother, and I really think that the friendship between Konoha and Yuyin Village is beneficial to both of us. .”
Hatake Kakashi nodded, feeling a little sympathetic to Uehara Naraku: "Peace is hard-won, and everyone really needs to cherish it..."
After all, when he was in the country of water, Uehara Naraku was so arrogant, he unscrupulously commanded a group of rebels from Wuyin Village to besiege Orochimaru, and waved him, Konoha Kamijou, to go away...
It's just that I didn't expect that in just a few years, the edges and corners would be smoothed.
But for Konoha, this is also a good thing.
Only by truly possessing the heart of a fearless strongman and not being afraid of any difficulties and dangers can one become stronger.
In Hatake Kakashi's view, Uehara Naraku is actually squandering his talent, and soon his strength will reach the upper limit, and he will disappear among many ordinary ninjas.
"Slap the boss, and the money is on the table."
After Naraku Uehara yelled, he took out a detonating talisman and pressed it on the table, and was about to pull Kakashi Hatake away: "I heard that Konoha has a lot of delicious food, take me to see it! "
For example, three-color meatballs, sweet chestnut juice, etc...
These are common foods, but they cannot support the meaning of their existence.
When Hatake Kakashi was about to leave obediently, he saw the detonating talisman left by Uehara Naraku, and his eyelids jumped in fright: "What do you mean by leaving a detonating talisman here? You want to destroy this Is it a store?"
"Get used to it."
Naraku Uehara took out his body, looked at Kakashi Hatake again, with an innocent look on his face: "I don't bring any money with me when I go out, I spend it on my teammates' money, usually on explosive charms, Kakashi Do you have any money, sir?"
Because Xiaonan is very strict with his education.
Uehara is absolutely not allowed to touch every item of Konoha Sanban. Even if Uehara Naraku is the accountant of Yuyin Village, he doesn't have much pocket money.
"hiss…"
Hatake Kakashi glanced at Uehara Naraku with a complicated look, and after dropping a note, he sighed and said, "I seriously suspect that you are here to eat..."
"If I remember correctly, you took the initiative to deliver it to your door, right?"
Uehara Naraku winked and said: "Let's go, take me to Shueisha to have a look, and help me pay for a set of books by the way! Then let's go and learn!"
"what book?"
"A set of divine books passed down among ninjas."
Uehara Naraku sneaked close to Hatake Kakashi, suppressed his smile, and said next to Kakashi: "Dear Heaven, have you heard of this book?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi's eyes became more and more strange. Now he wants to show off the signed collector's edition he owns, and then take Hara Naraku to buy the regular edition.
Just looking at Uehara Naraku's still a little green face, Hatake Kakashi frowned and said, "Are you eighteen years old?"
"sixteen."
"Minors are not allowed to read romance books."
Hatake Kakashi restrained Naraku Uehara's thoughts in a polite manner, and used himself as an example: "On my eighteenth birthday, I received a gift from Master Jiraiya."
The limited autographed collector's edition of "Intimate Heaven" in Kakashi's hand was Jiraiya's birthday present to him.
Uehara Naraku sighed: "Is there really no way to discuss it? This book is very difficult to buy. If you can't buy it in Konoha, I don't know when I can buy it..."
"no way."
Hatake Kakashi tugged on his mask, and said softly: "Maybe when you are eighteen, I can help you apply for a set of Jiraiya-sama's signature."
"Tsk..."
Naraku Uehara sighed.
If there are no accidents, maybe he really has a chance to meet Jiraiya during this Chunin exam.
"Fine."
Naraku Uehara patted Kakashi on the shoulder and touched his chin: "The scenery of Konoha is almost seen, let's go meet some little guys in your class and let them know my opponent in advance? "
Hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Hatake Kakashi looked a little uneasy, shook his head and rejected Uehara Naraku: "Let's talk about it when you take the exam, lest they see you in advance and lose the opportunity to take the Chunin exam." confidence."
Uehara Naraku is too strong.
What if Uchiha Sasuke, the strongest Uchiha Sasuke in the seventh class, saw Uehara Naraku and wanted to challenge him, but was beaten all over the ground
The seventh class probably doesn't have the confidence to take the Chunin exam.
"Actually, I don't have much confidence."
Uehara Naraku reached out and hugged the back of his head, and sighed faintly: "This Chunin exam should be the largest in these years, right? The whole village's hopes are placed on me. Get good grades in exams…”
"Don't be miserable!"
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but helped his forehead and said: "Although there may be many interesting newcomers in this Chunin exam, no matter how strong they are, they may not be able to defeat you, a monster!
Four years ago, after Hualing and I left, I reckoned my own battle with you, and even my chances of defeating you were pitifully slim. "
"impossible."
Naraku Uehara shook his head quickly, and analyzed seriously: "The probability that you want to defeat me is at least 50%?"
"You guys are really rude."
The corners of Hatake Kakashi's eyes couldn't help shaking.
It has to be said that Naraku Uehara's liveliness can easily make people feel close, and Kakashi Hatake gradually reduced his vigilance towards Naraku Uehara.
Facing a harmless opponent like Naraku Uehara, Hatake Kakashi, who had been hesitant to decide, made a complete decision to let the three little guys in his class really experience the horror of the Chunin exam.
It's just that after the two of them chatted for a day, and after the two separated in the evening, Uehara Naraku looked at Hatake Kakashi's leaving figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Kakashi's vigilance is too strict. If you want to get in touch with Uzumaki Naruto, you really have to wait until the Chunin exam..."
Chapter 116 The Uehara Naraku You Know, Is It Me? (Eighth update! Please subscribe!)
The night was getting darker.
The lights in Naruto's office were always bright.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat on a chair with a pipe in his mouth, glanced at Kakashi Hatake who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Kakashi, how much information about that Urenin did you find out?"
"A lot, this person is still too young after all."
Hatake Kakashi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "According to the information I have analyzed, the civil war in Yuyin Village must have caused a great weakening, so they had no choice but to send Naraku Uehara to take the Chunin Exam. arms race."
After finishing speaking, Kakashi opened his mouth and added: "There is no doubt that Naraku Uehara is very strong. Four years ago, I saw him smash through a border post of Wuyin Village with his own strength."
"What about his personal tendencies?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette.
The border of the Kingdom of Rain is connected to the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Earth.
The attitude of Yuyin Village determines whether Konoha can maintain its defensive advantage on the northwest border. If there is a chance, Hiruzaru Sarutobi would not mind supporting a leader of Yuyin Village who is inclined to ally with Konoha.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi overheard Naraku Uehara's words today, Sanshoyu Hanzo is indeed very old, and the next generation leader of Yuyin Village is imminent.
"Hard to say."
Hatake Kakashi shook his head and explained aloud: "Although from the current point of view, Uehara Naraku has a good sense of Konoha, but before Orochimaru and... Obito should have done indelible damage to Yuyin Village .”
Those two guys are the traitors of Konoha.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at Hatake Kakashi, and said slowly: "It's okay, we can fight against the rebellion together with Yuyin Village... What he said today is right, our generation is getting old after all, The future will be handed over to you young people.”
"..."
Hatake Kakashi lowered his head and did not answer.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi has been in charge of Konoha for about 40 years, and he is 69 years old this year, but the candidate for the fifth generation of Hokage has not yet been determined.
If the remaining two of Konoha Sannin come back, they are the most suitable candidates; if they refuse to come back, Konoha's group of ninjas will not be able to pick out a few who can convince the crowd, and even the major ninjas can't stand it. uneven.
Unless the dwarf pulls out the tall one, just pull out a Sarutobi Asma.
After all, Asma Sarutobi's disciples are the three major ninja tribes of Ikabuta, which is also normal. During the Warring States Period, the Sarutobi and Ikabute tribes were allies.
"You go down first."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned around slowly, stood at the window of Hokage's office, and said softly: "By the way, Kakashi, help me find the shininmaru Hoshi Kosuke in the village!"
"yes."
Hatake Kakashi quit the Hokage office.
the next day.
Uehara Naraku handed over all the mess to Hattori Hirakawa, Shiro, and Kaguya-kunmaro, and wandered around Konoha Village by himself, planning to meet some prominent people.
Unexpectedly, after Uehara Naraku turned on the display of his destiny skills, he discovered that today's Konoha's guidance johnin seems to be having a small meeting.
"I really don't give a chance at all!"
In this case, Naraku Uehara can only wait for the official start of the Chunin exam before he can begin to reap his rewards.
In just two days, Uehara Naraku gained a lot.
Originally, he worked so hard to save two thousand and seven gold coins in Yuyin Village. He just took a look at the scenery, drank some ramen, ate a few three-color meatballs and a series of ordinary tasks in Muye Village. About fifteen hundred gold coins.
Moreover, the task of Yile Ramen is very outrageous. For example, in the task of Big Stomach King, after Uehara Naraku tried his best to drink twelve bowls of ramen, he got 600 points of life energy from the system. This reward made Uehara's intestines regret blue.
If I had known that a bowl of ramen in the Big Stomach King Challenge would award 50 points of life energy, Naraku Uehara would desperately want to eat a few more bowls!
Damn, I can really become stronger by eating noodles...
This place in Konoha is really outrageous.
If calculated according to the degree of difficulty, Yuyin Village belongs to the doomsday man-machine opening, and Konoha is a simple man-machine daily routine.
It is indeed the home of the ninja.
And as the host of the Chunin Exam, Konoha sent a total of seventy-five people to participate in the Chunin Exam, which is more than all other ninja villages combined.
Uehara Naraku didn't know that this number was one more team than the number of people that Konoha Village should have participated in.
After Konoha confirmed the list of Chunin exams and all the ninja villages who took the exam arrived, the Chunin exams officially kicked off.
When Uehara Naraku brought Kaguya-kun Maro and Shiro to the assembly point of the examination room, all the ninja who participated in the Chunin examination gathered here.
To Uehara Naraku's surprise, the nine new recruits who graduated from Konoha Village this year also took the exam.
Class Seven: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura.
The eighth class: Inuzuka teeth, Yume Shino, Hinata Hinata.
Class Ten: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka.
Perhaps it was their first time to take the Chunin Exam. These newcomers were talking around a senior, as if they wanted to get some news from the senior.
From their exclamations, it is obvious that they have received a lot of news.
It just so happened that Uehara Naraku also knew the so-called senior, and he was also one of the leeks that Uehara was about to keep for harvest.
Orochimaru's spy, Yao Shidou.
After Orochimaru and Yakushidou escaped from Uehara Naraku, they arranged for Yakushidou to sneak into Konoha, take part in the annual Chunin exam, and collect some talented ninjas.
"Senior Dou."
The pink-haired girl Haruno Sakura suddenly said, "I want to ask another person for information. He should be a ninja from Yuyin Village, and his name is Naraku Uehara."
"..."
Hearing Uehara Naraku's name, Yakushi stopped involuntarily, and subconsciously pushed his own glasses.
Yao Shidou hadn't heard this name for a long time.
Whether it was him or Orochimaru, they tacitly did not mention Uehara Naraku's name, and the two of them lost too embarrassingly that time.
Pharmacist lowered his head, not wanting others to see the expression on his face: "How do you know this name?"
"Ms. Kakashi mentioned..."
Haruno Sakura frowned. Hatake Kakashi specially told them the name of Ugakushi Kakashi, especially those who need to be treated with caution.
Even though Kakashi Hatake thinks that Uehara Naraku will not hurt the killer, it is inevitable that these little guys don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
Uchiha Sasuke stood beside Haruno Sakura, and said coldly: "Just right, I'm also a little curious about this person's information, after all, Mr. Kakashi will think that he is the strongest opponent we will face in this Chunin exam. .”
"Your instructor, Jonin, was right."
Medicine Master Dou's voice was a little dark and deep, his fingers gradually stiffened: "If it's the person I know, he should be enough to kill everyone present..."
"Are you kidding me!"
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly looked displeased.
No matter how powerful the guy Kakashi was talking about, could he kill hundreds of ninjas by himself
However, after listening to Yakushidou's words, the faces of Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru became more serious.
"You don't have to worry, maybe it's just the same name..."
After finishing speaking, Yao Shidou slowly raised his head, looking at the arena where the Chunin exams were held, to see if there were traces of Uehara Naraku here.
When Yao Shidou found out that there was no Uehara Naraku in the examination room, he felt a little relieved, maybe it was just the same name
Da da da…
A burst of footsteps fell into Pharmacist's ears.
The group of Konoha newcomers raised their heads involuntarily, staring blankly at a young ninja wearing Yuyin's forehead guard standing behind Medicine Master's pocket.
Naraku Uehara looked down at the pharmacist's pocket on the ground, and said with a light smile, "Dou, turn around and look at the Naraku Uehara you know, is it me?"
