How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not hear the teasing and sarcasm coming from the Kazekage Yondaime's mouth?
But he didn’t know how to answer this at all!
The Uchiha clan is a clan that is gradually drifting away from itself, and the Kurama clan has also completely tied itself to the former's chariot.
Although such a will was not directly expressed in public.
But today,
When Uchiha Huang allowed this clan to regain dignity and prestige, and brought this Fengchen clan back to the stage of history, everything was settled and no words were needed.
As the spiritual pillar of the Sarutobi clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi can naturally understand that the family's prosperity and ability to stand out in front of others is the obsession of many seniors and successors in the clan.
This is especially true for the Kurama clan, which once had a glorious period.
There are really very few family leaders who don't have much pursuit of the family like the Thousand Hands Clan.
No,
Perhaps, it should be said that like Tobirama-sama, the head of a noble family who is able to disperse the family in Konoha appears.
As for the glory and return that the Kurama clan has longed for these years, Konoha has not given it to them for decades. To put it more ironically and radically, it has not put much effort into giving it at all.
So after this battle, the Kurama clan truly chose to side with Uchiha.
"Kurama Yakumo is older after all, it's just that he has more chakra."
For the Kazekage's praise, even if it was a sarcastic one, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not laugh it off, or even respond in silence.
So after a little deliberation, he used these words to excuse his praise.
[With the Uchiha clan and the Kurama clan, Konoha will inevitably dominate for another period. 】
Of course, such evaluation still made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
If the young descendants of the two families can really be used by them and can wholeheartedly focus on Konoha, then such bold words and such control will definitely come true.
But,
He knew clearly that this would be a realm he would never reach.
"The strength of your little princess is truly surprising."
"You can use the three-star fan and wind escape ninjutsu at a very young age, and your future is limitless."
After suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to his usual calm tone and spoke.
This can also be regarded as mutual business flattery.
"hehe."
"Temari is pretty good, but she can't compare to your Blood Shura Uchiha Ara, right?"
"His name is very loud."
"Besides, he's the same age as Temari."
The Yondaime Kazekage, who was covered in white veil, responded unhurriedly.
And there was already a special joking attitude in his voice, as if he said bluntly to his face: Although the Uchiha Ara on your side is very strong, he does not get along with the village.
"It seems that all the limelight of this Chunin Joint Examination will fall on Konoha again."
"And the title of [Number One in the World] will definitely belong to that person."
When the corner of his eye saw the Sandaime Hokage beside him, who looked silent as if he had eaten a fly, he couldn't help but point at the four-character plaque hanging on the main stand and teased.
"The game isn't over yet, so it's best not to make any comments."
"Or maybe you don't have any confidence in your competitor called [Absolute Defense of Sand]?"
If possible, Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally not want to pick up the other party's obviously sarcastic words.
But the former is the [Shadow] of Sand Hidden Village after all, and it happens to be a critical node where dragons and snakes are mixed and civil strife is not settled. He cannot ignore the other party's words, let alone show his face directly.
That's why he named Gaara.
I want to use such a point to respond to the other party's teasing.
After all, regardless of whether that guy is the carrier of the natural disaster monster, there is one identity that is unquestionable, and he is the descendant of the fourth generation Kazekage.
However, the moment he blurted out his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen already felt that he had lost some composure.
Because if Gaara is really a one-tailed Jinchuuriki, then when the two identities of the Jinchuuriki and the current son of the Kazekage collide, Rasa must be very sensitive.
Therefore, he hurriedly opened his mouth to say something else to change the topic.
But the Yondaime Kazekage didn't seem to care about this, and even said frankly:
"Compared to Uchiha Ara, Gaara is still far behind."
"And, if possible, I really want to see all the power he has."
"I don't know if anyone on your side can force out all of its strength."
When he said this, the man who symbolized Sunagakure's highest will set his sights on the field, and at the same time, his eyes began to become dangerous.
At this moment, the man was standing at the entrance of the arena,
Not long ago, that guy gave me a hard time.
As a result, until now, he can no longer trust his assistant as he once did, and he no longer dares to reveal all his secrets.
【Uchiha Ara. 】
He secretly bit his back molars and muttered fiercely in his heart.
However, all these bad prerequisites can achieve a win-win situation under certain conditions.
Everything that happened before can be re-washed.
if only,
As long as he is dead!
[So I will help you this time, old man. 】
[Don’t be too old to be able to carry a knife! 】
Cold eyes burst out from his pupils,
He originally wanted to stick out his tongue and lick his lips out of habit, but found that the veil was really obstructive, so he could only give up and wait patiently and excitedly for the signal from the outside.
As for the agreement with Sand Hidden Village?
This is a world of adaptability.
What's more, the person with whom the cooperation was planned is no longer there, so why bring up the previous plan again?
Regarding the Yondaime Kazekage's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because the other party's attitude was as if he didn't care about his heir at all.
And just when he wanted to continue to say something, he found that the other party had no intention of continuing to chat, and set his sights directly on the arena.
If I continue to say anything, I will be in trouble.
Therefore, he did not make a sound and turned his attention to the audience.
And from the gradually straightening of his back, it can be seen that the supreme leader of Konoha is gradually tightening his nerves.
Because next, comes the most critical battle!
[Naruto Uzumaki, don’t live up to my expectations for you this month. 】
[Since you are the fourth generation's son, please inherit your father's will. 】
[Under this cholera caused by the Uchiha clan, protect Konoha! ! 】
.........
"Thanks."
Before meeting Aara, Kurama Yakumo bowed slightly towards the former with a solemn expression.
Because she already got everything she wanted.
This name of Kurama resounding throughout the venue, this constant exclamation in the ears, is the praise and testimony of their clan's return to the stage of the ninja world! !
"This is an agreement between us."
"Stay next to Quan, she will protect you."
Huang nodded lightly and accepted the gratitude from the other party without any flinching.
It also stated the next steps.
If we follow the course of history, it will be impossible to complete all the chuunin joint assessments this time.
Because during this period, Sunagakure Village and Sound Ninja Village will launch a comprehensive [Collapse of Konoha] operation.
And just as everyone has seen and guessed,
Kurama Yakumo's strength lies in her control of the field. As for her melee combat ability, she is the safest when her subordinates have not yet reached the main battlefield.
"I see."
Regarding this arrangement, Kurama Yakumo responded obediently.
She clearly understands that getting is linked to giving, and she has already made preparations in her heart.
At the same time, when she saw Uzumaki Naruto slowly coming down the stairs, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she subconsciously stopped leaving.
"I can feel that there is a very terrifying thing hidden in the body of your next opponent."
"Coupled with the fact that he has always been called a demon fox, maybe it is just like the rumors. There are things related to the nine-tailed demon fox in his body."
"Please be careful with it."
Kurama Yakumo looked at the cold young man in front of him and analyzed.
Although when she expressed such speculation, she also felt that it was a bit fanciful, and she also believed that the person in front of her would not necessarily believe such nonsense.
But after a moment of hesitation, she spoke out.
Because with his strong mental power, he could clearly sense that the contestant named Uzumaki Naruto had an inexplicable emotion towards Ara.
This emotion started from the moment they stepped into this arena.
Of course, it's not like Kurama Yakumo hasn't thought about spying on what kind of thing or power is in the other person's body.
But after just the initial touch, the clear power of hatred made him unwilling, or in other words, he didn't dare to continue to peep rashly.
"Your feeling is correct."
In response to such a reminder, Huang's face remained unchanged, and at the same time he directly revealed the secret.
And since Kurama Yakumo has been able to directly sense the Nine-Tails aura existing on Uzumaki Naruto, it means that the double-layer seal existing on his body has become loose.
The person who can do this directly is Jiraiya, one of the former Sannin!
Thinking of the guy who claimed to be a lustful immortal, Huang's eyes narrowed slightly. That was the real trouble, but he hadn't sensed his existence yet.
Hearing this, Kurama Yakumo's eyes clearly showed violent emotions.
My guess turned out to be correct!
The demon fox that brought disaster to Konoha was actually sealed in Uzumaki Naruto's body! !
"It's okay, it's just half a demon fox that was sealed away."
Seeing the girl start to panic, Huang said lightly.
"Then, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
Hearing this answer, Kurama Yakumo's inner panic was calmed down a bit.
After blessing him, he walked towards the rest room.
"The third game begins!"
Looking at the two contestants standing still, Shiranui Genma said in a deep voice.
At the same time, his nerves were at their most tense at this moment.
Just because one of the players who played was named Uchiha Ara.
War in the East, War in the North.
At only fifteen years old, he has experienced more than most ninjas in the village.
I really don’t know why the Sandaime-sama would let such a being take part in this Chunin exam.
Is it just to show the power of the village?
It's not necessary.
The name Shura of Blood is enough to explain too many problems.
It was the audience in the stands who showed the same attitude as Shiranui Genma.
No one of them cares about the final result of this competition. What they care about is how many times this young man, who is called Shura in the blood mist, will take a breath and how he will defeat his opponent!
"Naruto-kun."
Listening to the discussions and conclusions from all around, Hinata Hinata, who was sitting with her team mates, intertwined their fingers tightly.
A murmur sounded on his lips and in his heart.
After all, his opponent was someone who even defeated Neji-nii with ease! !
"trouble,"
"Naruto has met a tough opponent this time."
"This is definitely not an opponent that can be solved with 'poison gas'."
Inuzuka Kiba beside the girl murmured, and the puppy in Yu's arms also barked in agreement.
It has a certain ability to perceive danger and strong people.
As for the young man mentioned by his master, the aura pouring down from his body was enough to make him tremble and not dare to become an enemy.
"I didn't expect that I would meet you in the first scene, Huang."
Looking at the opponent in his field of vision, Uzumaki Naruto broke the momentary deadlock and spoke.
Even though the examiner had already announced the start of the competition, the two of them had no intention of taking the lead and were not even on guard.
The conversation at this moment was like greetings between old friends.
Huang didn't answer,
He just looked at the little Kyuubi in front of him silently.
The appearance when he first met suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
At that time, Uzumaki Naruto was summoning all his strength and roaring at the Konoha residents who were targeting him. He was not a demon fox, he had a name, Uzumaki Naruto!
After that, we met in front of Ichiraku Ramen shop. This guy was as alert as a kitten.
However, in the end, I was defeated by the delicious ramen.
Then, when the war in the east that spanned several years began, this little guy squeezed out of the crowd to see him off.
The last two contacts were during the Mizuki incident a few months ago, and the farce in front of the second trial ground a month ago.
Yu's memory about Uzumaki Naruto flashed through like a slideshow.
There are few fragments, very few, but some are worth remembering.
"Huang, before the competition, I want to ask you a question."
Uzumaki Naruto, who received no response, did not show any anger.
Just while suppressing his mood, he looked into the other person's eyes and continued.
And his voice was obviously trembling, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
"explain."
Huang Xi's words are like gold, but more importantly, he doesn't want to have anything to do with this guy anymore.
Because they were destined to be different people, and all the existing bonds were severed a month ago.
Hearing the sound, Uzumaki Naruto took a deep breath, probably to further stabilize his emotions.
Then, he looked at the most familiar stranger in his field of vision and asked:
"Did my father and mother really die because of the Uchiha clan, as Grandpa Hokage said?"
