Chapter 115: The Uehara Naraku You Know, is it Me?

The night was getting darker.

But the lights in the Hokage’s office were always bright.

Sarutobi sat on a chair with a pipe in his mouth and glanced at Kakashi, who was kneeling in front of him. He said, “Kakashi, how much information from that Ame boy did you get?”

“A lot. That person is still too young after all.”

Kakashi nodded and said in a deep voice, “According to the information I analyzed, the civil war in Amegakure must have caused great damage and weakened them, so they had no choice but to send Uehara Naraku to take the Chunin exam.”

After speaking, Kakashi added, “There is no doubt that Uehara was very strong. Four years ago, I saw him smash through one of the Kirigakure border outposts with my own eyes.”

“What about his personal inclinations?”

The Land of Rain was, after all, connected with the Country of Wind, Country of Fire, and Country of Earth.

The Amegakure’s attitude determined whether Konoha could maintain a defensive advantage in the northwest border. If there was a chance, Sarutobi did not mind supporting an Amegakure leader who tends towards being in an alliance with Konoha.

Today, Sarutobi had secretly listened to Uehara’s words, that Hanzo was getting old, and the next generation leaders of Amegakure were imminent.

“Hard to say.”

Kakashi shook his head and explained aloud, “Although Uehara Naraku has a good feeling towards Konoha, Orochimaru and… Obito should have done irreparable damage to Amegakure.”

Those two guys were both Konoha’s missing-nin.

Sarutobi glanced at Kakashi and said slowly, “It doesn’t matter, we can fight them alongside the Amegakure… Today he spoke correctly. Our generation is getting old, and it will soon be in the hands of you young ninjas.”

“…”

Kakashi lowered his head and did not answer.

Sarutobi has been in charge of Konoha for about forty years, and he was already sixty-nine years old this year, but the candidate for the Fifth Hokage has not yet been established.

The remaining two of the Konoha Sannin were the most suitable candidates. Still, if they refused to come back, Konoha would not have been able to pick out a ninja who could convince the general population nor the big clans.

Unless they pull out Sarutobi Asuma.

After all, Sarutobi Asuma’s disciples were the three ninja clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, which had always been together. During the Warring States period, the Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho were allies.

“You can leave first.”

Sarutobi turned around slowly, stood at the window of the Hokage office, and whispered, “By the way, Kakashi, help me get Maruboshi Kosuke!”

“Yes.”

Kakashi left the Hokage office.

The next day.

Uehara handed over his duties to Hattori Hirakawa and wandered around in Konoha by himself, intending to meet a few people.

Unexpectedly, when Uehara turned on his Destiny skill, he discovered that Konoha’s ninjas seemed to be having a small meeting.

“They really did not give me the slightest chance!”

If this was the case, Uehara could only wait for the official start of the Chunin exam before he could start to reap his rewards.

Uehara’s gains over the next two days were not small.

He worked so hard in Amegakure to save up 2000 coins. But in Konoha, he just looked at the scenery, ate some ramen, ate a few Dango, and did a series of common system missions and got around 1,500 gold coins.

Moreover, the mission in Ichiraku Ramen was very outrageous. For example, in the Big Eater King Challenge mission, Uehara tried his best, managing to eat twelve bowls of ramen, receiving 600 points of life energy from the system. The reward made Uehara’s stomach turn green in regret.

If he knew that the Big Eater King Challenge gave 50 points of life energy for each bowl of ramen, Uehara would surely have eaten a few more bowls!

Damn, becoming stronger by just eating noodles…

Konoha was an outrageous place.

If you wanted to describe it in terms of difficulty, Amegakure was in doomsday mode, while Konoha was in baby mode.

It was truly worthy of being the home of the ninja world’s protagonist.

As the host of the Chunin exam, Konoha sent a total of 75 people to take the Ninja exam, which was more than every other ninja village combined.

Uehara didn’t know that there was actually one additional team from Konoha that shouldn’t have participated this time.

After Konoha confirmed the list and all the ninjas taking the test had arrived, the Chunin exam officially kicked off.

When Uehara brought Kimimaro and Haku to the examination room, all the ninjas taking the Chunin exam had gathered there.

Unsurprisingly, the nine newcomers from Konoha who graduated this year also took the exam.

Team 7: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura.

Team 8: Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata.

Team 10: Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino.

Perhaps it was because it was their first time taking the Chunin exam. These newcomers were talking with a senpai, seemingly wanting to get some news from this senpai.

From their voices, it was evident that they had received a lot of news.

It happened that Uehara also knew the so-called senpai, and he was also one of the leeks that Uehara kept for harvest.

Orochimaru’s spy, Yakushi Kabuto.

After Orochimaru and Kabuto escaped from Uehara, they arranged for Kabuto to sneak into Konoha, to participate in the annual Ninja test, and collect some intel from the talented ninjas that would participate.

“Kabuto-senpai.”

The pink-haired girl Haruno Sakura suddenly said, “I want to ask about another person. He should be a ninja from Amegakure, and his name is Uehara Naraku.”

“…”

Hearing Uehara’s name, Kabuto involuntarily froze, and he subconsciously pushed up his glasses.

Kabuto hasn’t heard this name for a long time.

Whether it was him or Orochimaru, they tacitly had not mentioned the name Uehara because they had been humiliated back then.

Kabuto lowered his head, not wanting people to see the expression on his face, “How do you know this name?”

“Kakashi-sensei mentioned him…”

Sakura squeezed her brows. Kakashi had specially mentioned the name of this Ame ninja when he talked about people who need to be treated with caution.

Even if Kakashi thought that Uehara would not kill, inevitably, these little guys don’t know the heights of the world.

Standing next to Sakura, Sasuke said coldly, “It just so happens that I am also a little curious about this person. After all, Kakashi-sensei thinks that he’ll be the strongest opponent we will face in this Chunin exam. .”

“Your instructor is right.”

The voice of Kabuto was a little muffled and quiet, and his fingers gradually stiffened, “If it truly is the person I know, he should be able to kill everyone in this room easily…”

“What a joke!”

Sasuke suddenly looked upset.

Even if the guy Kakashi spoke was strong, could he really kill hundreds of Ninjas on his own?

However, after listening to Kabuto’s words Sakura, Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru, and the other newcomers became more solemn.

“Don’t worry. They might just have the same name…”

After speaking, Kabuto slowly raised his head and looked at the Ninja test examination room to look for any traces of Uehara.

When Kabuto didn’t find Uehara in the examination room, he felt a little relieved. Maybe they really did just share the same name?

Da da da…

A sound of footsteps fell into the ears of Kabuto.

This group of Konoha newcomers involuntarily raised their heads and stared blankly at a young ninja wearing an Ame forehead protector standing behind Kabuto.

Uehara looked at Kabuto and said with a chuckle, “Kabuto-san, turn around and look. The Uehara Naraku you know, is it me?”
