Chapter 138: On the eve of the exam, Naruto who heard the news
“Boy, don’t summon me in the future!”
Gamabunta was too afraid to look at Uehara, and after angrily yelling at Naruto, he disbanded the summon directly.
“Eh?”
Naruto scratched his head with a dazed expression, then turned his head and glanced at Uehara, “What did Toad Boss mean?”
Uehara frowned and said with some shame, “Could it be that he was too embarrassed that he lost to me? Did I do something wrong?”
“No, how could it be!”
Naruto hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Anyway, you just wanted to help me. Maybe it feels that his strength is too bad!”
Although Naruto feels something was wrong…
But thinking about it carefully, Uehara did nothing wrong.
It’s just that the result was a bit unsatisfactory.
Uehara receives the reward in his mission. This time he defeated Gamabunta and got a summoning contract.
[Side mission: Defeat Gamabunta (1/1),]
[The mission has been completed,]
[Reward: The River King Tahm Kench summoning contract.]
[Summoning Contract: Summon The River King Tahm Kench, consume 1000 Chakra points.]
This contract was a bit hard to explain in a word.
In any case, it is better than nothing.
Konoha’s days gradually calmed down.
A deeper wave was conceived on this calm day, especially after the third exam invigilator strange death, Gekko Hayate.
To investigate Orochimaru’s conspiracy and his several allies, Konoha sent many Anbu.
Amegakure has now become Konoha’s only trusted ally.
Because according to Kakashi’s intel, Orochimaru stole Amegakure’s treasure, which caused Orochimaru to be chased and killed. Moreover, Uehara and Orochimaru have been in tit-for-tat, disrupting Orochimaru’s plans many times.
The night before the Chunin exam.
In Uehara’s hotel room, he was wearing Hokage’s imitated robes and hats. Although he can use the Inherent Glamour transformation, this will prevent other people from discovering his true face when encountering a problem.
The robe and hat were bought by Kabuto.
Uehara stood in front of the mirror and turned over the collar of the robe, “Worthy of the clothes worn by the leader of Konoha, I like the small collar of Hokage’s robe compared to the uniforms of the Akatsuki organization members, and it is also comfortable.”
“Yes.”
Kabuto, dressed in Anbu clothes, stood beside Uehara and helped him hold the fake Hokage hats.
Due to the staff shortage that Uehara can be 100% trusted, Kabuto can only be used as a supporting actor tonight.
“Have you remembered all the lines?”
Uehara took the Hokage hat and asked.
Kabuto pushed his glasses and laughed in a low voice, “I have already remembered all of them. I’m just curious why Naraku-sama has targeted Naruto so aggressively. It’s better to take him directly when Naraku-sama leaves Konoha…”
“No, I have to let him take the initiative to follow us.”
Uehara shook his head and chuckled, “Naruto’s power is far beyond your imagination. Wait and see, he will surprise you!”
“Naraku-sama means…”
“It’s just that.”
After Uehara put on the Hokage hat, he whispered, “After he leaves Konoha, I will take him to Akatsuki’s base. The Jinchuriki gift will definitely be liked by Konan-sensei!”
“Understood.”
Kabuto nodded and put on a black hood, inexplicably feeling that his new boss’s mind was flooded again!
In the past few days, no Anbu has been watching around Naruto’s house when he investigated the surrounding. Perhaps because he has become a ninja, Konoha did not continue to waste manpower to protect him.
Late At Night.
When the moon is bright.
Naruto suffers from insomnia because tomorrow, he wants to defeat his opponent publicly and gain the villagers’ approval.
Just as Naruto couldn’t sleep, he suddenly heard a voice, “Sandaime-sama, Uzumaki Naruto is already asleep. Are you here to check his seal?”
“No, I just came to have a look.”
An old voice came into Naruto’s ears. He has always been familiar with this voice, and it was the voice of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, Sarutobi’s words were a little uncomfortable, and the next moment Sarutobi said, “What’s the situation with Naruto? Tomorrow will be the Chunin exam that many famous and influential people will come to watch. We have to be sure that nothing is wrong with him.”
Naruto bit his quilt stubbornly. Was he always a troublemaker in the eye of Grandpa Hokage?
Obviously, he has already started to learn to be a real ninja.
In the next second, the unfamiliar Anbu voice continued to be heard in Naruto’s ears, “Sandaime-sama, don’t worry, if his Chakra leaks, I will report it immediately. But if his Chakra is abnormal enough that I think I can’t handle….”
“You have the right to kill him on the spot.”
Sarutobi’s old voice sounded a little indifferent, “Years ago, when I ordered Uchiha Obito to undermine Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Obito made a mistake and release the Kyuubi in Uzumaki Kushina’s body and caused heavy losses in the village.”
The Anbu couldn’t help but rejoiced and said, “Fortunately, Yondaime-sama didn’t notice it at that time and sealed the Kyuubi in his son’s body, so Konoha was spared…”
“That’s why I sent you to watch Naruto.”
Sarutobi said slowly with emotion, “Twelve years have passed, but Naruto has not been able to use the power of Kyuubi. He was worse than his mother, Uzumaki Kushina. What a failure Jinchuriki…”
“…”
The Anbu ninja was silent for a while before he replied, “But Naruto should be now loyal to Hokage-sama like his mother who is only loyal to his husband Namikaze Minato, right?”
The two outside the door fell silent for a while.
Naruto, eavesdropping in the room, tightly covered his mouth, not daring to make any noise. His tears fell drop by drop and wet the bedding.
Naruto never thought that when he got his father and mother news for the first time, he would hear it from the people he had always respected!
Uzumaki Kushina, this should be his mother’s name.
And Namikaze Minato, this should be his father’s name.
But Grandpa Hokage killed them both!
Naruto’s throat was suppressed, and he dared not make any noise for fear of being noticed, but his emotions gradually became a little angry!
But now, Naruto forcibly endures his grief. Because he is clear that as long as there is any movement, even if there is any change in his Chakra, Sarutobi and the Anbu outside will immediately appear and kill him.
After being quiet for a while, Sarutobi’s voice rang again, “Are you persuading me to keep Naruto’s life. You have been watching him for so many years. Has your heart softened?”
“No.”
The Anbu whispered, “I just think Naruto is the most suitable Kyuubi container. If we kill him rashly, it will be difficult to find a new container…”
“Yes, the descendants of the Uzumaki clan are not easy to find.”
Sarutobi said in a low voice and sighed softly, “There was a member of the Uzumaki clan in the Kusagakure team that took the Chunin exam. Unfortunately, I heard that girl defected and went to join Amegakure.”
After saying this, Sarutobi said with emotion, “If I knew that this will happen, when Kushina asked us to save her hometown, I should have sent someone over to Uzugakure and taken a few little kids as an alternative Kyuubi’s container.”
“…”
The Anbu outside the door was silent for a while, as if he didn’t know what to say.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, “This time, it seems that some people in the village have recognized Uzumaki Naruto’s identity. They may obstruct your plan. Do you need me to get rid of them?”
“It’s not necessary.”
Sarutobi shook his head, and his voice was indescribably gloomy, “Back then, I prohibited other people from contacting Naruto to allow him to be loyal to me wholeheartedly. Now he is very dependent on me, so this command doesn’t matter anymore. .”
“What about Kakashi?”
The Anbu continued to ask, “Sandaime-sama asked Kakashi to leave the Anbu to monitor Uzumaki Naruto’s every move. Now he seems to care for him.”
“Do not worry.”
Sarutobi’s old voice was full of confidence, “Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito were former teammates. He is just a little bit guilty of Naruto.”
A happy tone suddenly appeared in the voice of the Anbu Ninja, “After all, Kakashi knew about Obito killing Naruto’s parents, but he has been quietly hiding it…”
“Well…”
Just as the Anbu finished speaking, Naruto’s voice in the room could no longer be suppressed, tears couldn’t stop flowing on his face, and a syllable came out in his throat.
When Naruto realized his voice leak, he immediately yawned, wiped away his tears, and hid in his quilt.
The voice outside suddenly became silent.
After a while, the window in the room quietly opened and then quietly closed again. Obviously, someone came to check the situation.
After a while, Sarutobi’s voice rang again, “Since there is nothing wrong here, you will continue to monitor him. Tomorrow the Chunin exam competition will start, and all the famous and influential people will be present. We must not let a problem appear.”
“Yes, Sandaime-sama.”
The Anbu outside the door agreed in a low voice.
Soon, the outside suddenly became quiet.
Naruto in the room was biting his quilt tightly, tears streaming down in his eye, but he didn’t dare to make a sound because he knew the Anbu was watching him outside.
Twelve years of dreams.
Tonight was completely destroyed.
Naruto’s fingers pinched his thigh fiercely to the point of wounding his leg. He wanted to suppress his emotions and prevent him from experiencing any abnormalities.
Over the years, it was no wonder that he desperately wanted to be recognized by the villagers, but in exchange, he was alienated. Sarutobi would appear in front of him whenever his heart hurt, teaching him how to endure the pain.
All the light and darkness in his life.
It turned out that it was just the old man in the Hokage Building controlling it.
Naruto’s body trembled slightly, recalling the scene where he summoned out Gamabunta, his mind suddenly sank into the boundless sealed water prison.
Naruto’s eyes were pitch black, and he walked slowly to the gate edge. He raised his head and looked at the huge figure inside the gate. He said in a gloomy voice, “Smelly fox, you are called Kyuubi, right? You heard it all, right?”
“Roar!”
Kyuubi opened his mouth and looked at the young figure next to the gate. He suddenly laughed loudly, “Hahahahaha…little kid, if you let me out now, I will help you kill that old thing and tear the whole village to pieces!”
Obviously, Kyuubi heard everything that Naruto had heard just now.
Some of the secrets are not even clear to him.
But this is a good opportunity for him. The darker Naruto was, the easier to manipulate Naruto!
Kyuubi didn’t expect a village-like Konoha to be so dark. It deserves to be the Ninja village created by the two wicked ninjas Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
Konoha’s people are always so good at killing each other!
“No, it’s not enough for them to pay.”
Naruto looked at the Kyuubi and slowly shook his head. The black energy on his body became more and more intense, “Tomorrow is an important day. Let me make a big scene!”
A grinning smile appeared on Kyuubi’s face, “Boy, I didn’t expect that you would get awaken when we met for the second time! And you are much smarter than that woman Uzumaki Kushina!”
That stinky woman, obviously possessing such a powerful power, not only did she not want to use it, she only wanted to suppress it.
Now it’s her son’s turn to suffer. As Uzumaki Kushina’s former tenant, Kyuubi thinks he should guide Naruto!
Tomorrow, it will be his time to shine!
“Naruto.”
Someone knocked on the room window.
Naruto turned his head and saw Sakura standing by his window.
The pink-haired girl said nervously, “I haven’t seen Sasuke-kun these days. He will have an exam tomorrow. Can you accompany me to find him?”
“Okay.”
Hearing Sakura’s request, Naruto immediately let go of his thoughts and crawled out of the window, “Sakura, why would you go to Sasuke’s house late at night?”
“Because I think he should already be at home at this time.”
Sakura frowned and said nervously, “But he still hasn’t appeared until now… Well, Naruto, your face, what happens…”
Naruto covered Sakura’s mouth and raised his fingers nervously for fear that the so-called Anbu who had been monitoring him would know the situation.
Naruto grinned, wiped the tear on his face, and said with a wide smile, “Well, I will accompany you to find Sasuke first! Maybe that guy is hiding somewhere to practice secretly!”
Even though their hearts have already become riddled with holes, some people still hide their wounds in front of the people they like.
