Chapter 129: What a Genius!
Team 7’s camp.
When Uehara returned, he was carrying a few fish.
When Sasuke saw Uehara, he raised his eyebrows and softly said, “You were finally back. I went around and didn’t find you.”
“I met Orochimaru again.”
The expression on Uehara’s face suddenly became a little heavy. Seeing the expressions on Team 7’s face suddenly change, he smirked for a while before continuing, “Just now, he was bullying our chief examiner… “
Sakura’s face turned pale with fright, and she nervously swallowed her saliva, “…Did the chief examiner beat him?”
The faces of Naruto and Sasuke next to her were also not good.
Obviously, Orochimaru had left quite a shadow in their minds.
Uehara continued in a deep voice, “Orochimaru is one of the legendary Sannin, and he was once one of the few people standing at the top of Konoha. The chief examiner of our Chunin exam, Mitarashu Anko, was his student. .”
Uehara thought of Anko’s performance and added, “She was probably the least successful student…”
“…”
Team 7 fell into a collective silence.
Sakura and Sasuke subconsciously turned their heads to look at Naruto. Naruto has always been the most ineffective student on their team.
Naruto immediately looked back furiously, “Hey, Sasuke, Sakura-chan, why are you looking at me!”
“Nothing.”
Sasuke and Sakura slowly retracted their gazes, and after speaking in unison, they shook their heads slightly, their movements surprisingly consistent.
“Alright, let’s rest first!”
Uehara smiled, patted Naruto’s head, and whispered, “You guys can continue to take your enemy’s scroll tomorrow! Who will be on the night watch tonight? I am in good spirits and can be with them tonight.”
As Uehara expected.
Naruto, who slept for a whole afternoon, volunteered and raised his hand, “Me, me, me… I will do it! I had a long rest, so I can stay up for a long time!”
Just as Uehara’s mouth turned into a smile, Sakura, next to him, shook her head and rejected his proposal, “Naruto, you and Sasuke-kun will fight tomorrow. Let me do it!”
After speaking, Sakura lifted her fist in a somewhat restrained manner, “And I didn’t do anything when you were fighting today…”
The smile on Uehara’s face gradually stiffened.
What’s the problem with this girl? When did she learn to think about her teammates?
Sasuke patted Naruto on the shoulder, winked at him, and whispered, “Naruto, let Sakura do the night watch…”
Sasuke was a little worried about Sakura’s guilt. Anyway, instead of letting Sakura hold onto the guilt, it was better to let her be at ease after doing something within her power. After Naruto complained for a while, he reluctantly agreed to Sakura’s request.
Uehara looked at Sakura with a puzzling face.
What’s the use of spending the night with Sakura?
Uehara really wanted to talk about life with Naruto, but he was disrupted by Sakura, who wanted to take on some responsibilities!
The night was a little quiet.
Sakura wanted to talk a little more with Uehara. After all, as a rookie ninja, Sakura was quite willing to hear about some experiences from her Senpai.
Uehara didn’t think much about her because she broke his excellent plan.
Besides, what was there to chat with a little pink-haired girl? It would have been great if he could talk to Naruto or even Sasuke instead!
Sakura may have a problem with her EQ. She didn’t notice Uehara’s indifference and just thought that powerful ninjas were naturally a bit arrogant. Sasuke was the strongest newcomer in their cla.s.s, and he usually ignored his cla.s.smates.
“Uehara-senpai, what does your Amegakure look like?”
“It’s raining every day…”
“I like rainy days!”
Sakura’s face flushed slightly, and her eyes filled with, “Walking in the rain with Sasuke-kun under the same umbrella every day, wouldn’t it be romantic?”
Uehara replied feebly, “I looked at your Konoha’s drainage. If that happened, Konoha would be flooded by rain in just a week…”
“…”
Sakura’s expression immediately fell.
However, she was not discouraged and soon changed to another topic, “Does Uehara-senpai have someone you like? I noticed that your team also has a cute-looking one…”
“…”
Uehara slowly raised his eyelids and stared at Sakura which scared the little girl, making her subconsciously shrink back.
Uehara looked at Sakura, and his tone gradually became a little weird, “Although he looks more beautiful than you, he is a man. Are your brain circuits in a different dimension?”
“Oh… sorry.”
Sakura hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued in a low voice, “Then where are Uehara-senpai’s two teammates?”
Hearing Sakura’s words, Uehara’s gaze gradually became weird, as if he could see through Sakura’s mind, “When you three get the scrolls you need and rush to the central tower, you will see them.”
“Okay”
Sakura nodded cautiously.
There was a rare smile on Uehara’s face, and he narrowed his eyes in a friendly way, “Do you want to acquire information about me? It seems you look like a real ninja now, Haruno Sakura-san!”
“No… No.”
Sakura quickly shook her head and explained nervously, “I just thought that if your teammates were not around, Senpai would be a little uncomfortable? Senpai saved us. How could I doubt Senpai!”
“Is that right?”
Uehara looked at Sakura, moving his fingers lightly.
Can he try it on Sakura?
After Uehara thought for a while, he immediately decided to start the topic, “Hey, Haruno-san, when I saw Naruto-san and Orochimaru fighting today, his condition was a bit strange.”
“Oh.”
A look of worry appeared on Sakura’s face. She lowered her head and continued, “I don’t know what happened to Naruto.”
“…”
Uehara’s plan immediately stalled.
Sakura’s current state of inexperience as a ninja seemed to perfectly disrupt his rhythm.
I worked hard to come up with a bunch of plans, but the moment someone came to me, I didn’t know what to use and was beaten by a sentence!
d.a.m.n, what a genius rookie!
Unless he directly revealed the information, the pink-haired girl would not understand anything else.
Uehara felt like he was going to go mad!
“Senpai, what’s wrong with you?”
Sakura saw that Uehara’s mood was a little bad, and she continued softly, “Is it because I said something wrong?”
Uehara suppressed the urge to curse, turned his head, and showed an elegant and polite smile, “No, I just wanted to be quiet for a while.”
Uehara felt a little worried at heart.
With the IQ of the people in Team 7, he couldn’t use the same routine. It wouldn’t be easy…
Except for Sasuke, who was easy to hook, Naruto and Sakura were likely not easily hooked.
It was not because their IQs were too high.
But because they were too stupid.
Fortunately, there were things he could do tonight.
Uehara quietly turned his Destiny skill. Kimimaro and Haku had no problems, and no one had broken through their defenses yet.
Even the strongest Team, Gaara’s, had retreated and with him taking his brother and sister to rest outside the tower, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.
Orochimaru and Kabuto were also in a private meeting.
Outside of the Forest of Death.
Sarutobi personally led a large number of Anbu ninjas and Jonin and stationed them outside the Forest of Death. He had gathered most of Konoha’s elite ninjas.
The fleeing Anko and Kosuke reported the situation to Sarutobi successively and praised Uehara, which made Sarutobi feel a little more relaxed.
“It looks like that kid from the Amegakure has helped us a lot!”
When Sarutobi came, he had already taken off his Hokage uniform and put on a combat uniform. His expression was solemn, “There were so many allied villages partic.i.p.ating in the Chunin exam, and it can not be stopped now. The Anbu and the Barrier team will constantly monitor the Forest of Death’s condition and report to me every hour!”
Anko said solemnly, “But Hokage-sama, if we don’t catch Orochimaru immediately, he will run!”
“Compared to Orochimaru, maintaining the stability of our alliance is more important.”
Sarutobi frowned, glanced at Anko, and said solemnly, “After the Chunin exam ends, I will send someone to continue searching for him.”
“Hokage-sama.”
Ibiki also asked, “What about Uehara Naraku? He is a disturbing factor that interferes with the Chunin exam!”
Sarutobi shook his head and said softly, “According to Kakashi’s info, that little guy should be the future leader of Amegakure, and also a genius ninja who wants to promote the Amegakure during this Chunin exam. It was not wise to deal with him.”
What’s more, he was the only one who took the initiative to show kindness to Konoha. Not only was his ident.i.ty important, but his strength was quite high.
To Konoha, as long as they waited until Uehara took power, the Amegakure would naturally become Konoha’s ally. How could they offend him? Konoha also counted on Amegakure’s help to withstand the pressure from the Iwagakure in the northwest!
Ibiki turned to look at Kakashi and said in a deep voice, “Kakashi, do you find that guy reliable?”
Because Ibiki had once fallen into a trap set by Konoha ninja who defected to the Amegakure, which meant he really didn’t like the Amegakure.
Kakashi thought for a while, thought about Uehara’s every move in Konoha, and whispered, “He’s not very reliable, right?”
“Cough cough cough…”
After coughing a few times, Kosuke responded loudly, “This little guy has a terrible personality, but he was still okay.
“He is a good person.”
Anko continued, “If it weren’t for him, maybe I might have died at the hands of Orochimaru.”
Anko didn’t know that Orochimaru and Kabuto had just exchanged their plans in the Forest of Death and then secretly scolded her.
Before leaving, Orochimaru carefully told Kabuto, “Kabuto, stay away from that fellow Uehara Naraku, don’t be like that idiot Anko. If you get too close to him, you will die if you are not careful…”
“Yes, noted Orochimaru-sama.”
After Kabuto smiled and nodded, watching the Orochimaru gradually disappear, he pushed his gla.s.ses as the smile on his face became thicker.
He is my new boss, you know.
Kabuto thought of Uehara, feeling a faint headache.
