This Uchiha is too cautious

There was a deep silence in the dark forest.

Tall shrubs and jungles grew everywhere, and even at ten o'clock in the afternoon, most of the sunlight was still blocked.

The three members of Team 7 walked in the dark forest, maintaining the vigilance typical of ninjas.

Sasuke and Hinata looked around from time to time, using the insight of Sharingan and the detection power of Byakugan to explore the surroundings.

The feeling of this forest to them is really not that wonderful, especially after they know who are the people in this forest, they always feel like there is a pair of eyes staring at them.

"Someone is ambushing us." At this moment, Hinata suddenly said: "The caregiver should be from Takigakure Village. There is only one team."

"Oh?" Naruto's eyes lit up slightly: "Can you see what their scrolls are?"

"Sorry, Naruto-kun, I can't see it." Hinata shook her head: "There must be some prohibition set up. I can't observe these things."

"It doesn't matter, let's get rid of them first." Sasuke said directly: "It's just a good time to give it a try. We have learned so many things from Mr. Kakashi since we graduated, but from the beginning to the end, no one has practiced. Opportunity. I don’t plan to miss this opportunity.”

Sasuke's comment made Naruto curl his lips, but he mentally agreed with it.

They have been practicing and being trained for so long since graduation, but the problem is that they have never taken on any higher tasks.

For them, fighting almost only involves actual combat, and the intensity of such confrontation is really not enough for them.

The most critical point is that they don't dare to be cruel at all, and their strength can hardly be fully displayed.

Now in this exam, they are facing almost all enemies. Not only are these enemies not from their own village, but they will also kill them.

This situation is really an excellent opportunity for them.

But they also know that even if they don't think that these guys are really stronger than themselves in terms of overall strength.

But they must also fight seriously. If someone accidentally ends up sleeping in this forest, it would be really bad.

What's more, the enemy they faced came from Takigakure Village!

Taki Ninja Village is also a very special one among the many villages in the ninja world. The reason is very simple. They are the only village outside the five major countries that has tailed beasts, which proves their power from the side.

According to some extremely unreliable rumors, some people say that the Taki Ninja Village was founded earlier than Konoha, and they are the first Ninja Village in the true sense.

However, this matter has not yet been verified.

But no matter what, this village still has some strength, otherwise there wouldn't be a guy like Kakuzu.

"I'll deal with them." At this moment, Sasuke suddenly said directly: "Please help me look around, be careful of other teams, and then support me at any time."

"Wait a minute? Why are you?" Naruto immediately said dissatisfied when he heard this: "I'm going to deal with them. You two guys with eye skills should be responsible for the coordination and support, right?"

"Have you argued enough?" Hinata frowned: "The other party seems to know that we have discovered them, and they are already heading towards us."

"Then let's take it one by one." Sasuke said unhappily: "It's all your fault. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

As soon as the words fell, Sasuke rushed up and used a kunai again. The double magatama in his eyes were cold and ruthless.

He had no intention of giving up such an opportunity, saying that it was only for one person, but if he killed one first and then looked for another enemy, it would not be a strange thing no matter how he looked at it.

"You kid looking for death!" The three Taki ninja couldn't help but sneered when they saw Sasuke rushing over.

One of them even made a seal directly. He obviously planned to kill this kid directly: "Water Release·Water Luanbo!"

From this guy's mouth, water like a waterfall was spurted out, and then rushed towards Sasuke.

Sasuke's face was expressionless, his Sharingan turned slightly, and he had no intention of dodging in the face of such a wave of water.

His body accelerated instantly, almost like a phantom, and he had already crossed the water wave.

A trace of surprise appeared on the face of the Taki ninja, but at this moment, Sasuke's figure was in front of him.

With a strong pull of his left hand, the ninja sword glowing with cold light was pulled out directly, and the strong blade was slashed towards the Taki ninja.

"Sharingan? Uchiha?"

These Taki-nin obviously recognized those eyes, which made them a little nervous for a moment.

The Sharingan is really no joke, especially when Uchiha's reputation is still very high in the ninja world.

They were facing a descendant of Uchiha at this time, and there was still real pressure.

But they also know that now is not the time to think about these things. Thinking about it during the battle will only harm themselves.

As long as you kill these guys, there won't be any problems!

"I'll deal with him, and you deal with his two teammates." A Taki nin quickly pulled out a kunai, and then blocked Sasuke's knife: "Damn guy, damn Uchiha!"

Sasuke didn't pay any attention to him at all. He didn't have much emotion since the sword didn't directly kill the target.

He didn't have much exposure to swordsmanship. It was only after the class was over that he took the initiative to propose to his father that he wanted to learn swordsmanship.

Uchiha Fugaku was a little surprised, but he had no intention of rejecting him.

What surprised Sasuke himself was that he found that he seemed to be very talented in this area.

But after all, he had only learned sword skills for a relatively short time, and he was not so fluent in using it.

But Sasuke is still Uchiha after all, and the Sharingan is the weapon he made.

In just an instant, he saw through the intentions of the Taki-nin in front of him, and could even see what he wanted to do next.

The ninja sword in his hand gently drew a semicircle, and the Taki ninja's sword was cut open by Sasuke, and then Sasuke ducked and got close to him.

Staring at the Taki nin with his eyes, chakra quickly gathered in his eyes.

"ah!"

This Taki nin felt his brain was in a trance, and his whole person seemed to be stagnant.

Then he felt a huge pain in his chest. He slowly looked down and saw that a ninja sword had pierced his chest!

Blood slowly dripped from the front and back of the blade. He already felt extremely weak. Even if he raised his hand slightly and stabbed the kunai into this guy's heart, he couldn't do it!

"Don't worry, you won't die." Sasuke looked at the guy in front of him indifferently, his voice was unusually cold: "Although my knife penetrated your body, it did not hit the vital point. Hand over the scroll, and I will let you go. .”

"Haha, what do you think?" Taki Ninja opened his mouth slightly, and a mouthful of blood flowed out, but he continued: "Can I live like this? Are you Konoha so hypocritical?"

"Whether you live or not is none of my business. At least I didn't kill you." Sasuke's expression remained indifferent: "Hand over the scroll, and you won't have any chance."

There really was no chance. While Sasuke quickly eliminated this guy, Naruto and Hinata also eliminated their opponents.

I have to say that the three of them really have a crushing advantage. None of these three Taki ninjas are the enemy of one!

After solving this group of Taki-nin, it can only be regarded as calm for Sasuke and the others.

But Sasuke was indeed a bit ruthless, and Naruto couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

The Forest of Death is now a forest of death in the true sense. Not only are there various unknown ferocious beasts, but there are also a large group of ninjas who are ready to kill in order to pass the exam.

Sasuke's ninja sword penetrated that guy, and it was obvious that the guy probably couldn't go far.

It's not that he will die here, Sasuke's attack was very measured, and with the help of Sharingan, he did avoid the key points accurately.

As long as the treatment is timely, there will never be any problems!

But the key point is that being hurt like this in such an environment can basically determine their end.

Just as the Taki ninja said himself, he really couldn't live like this anymore.

He will not die under Sasuke's knife, nor from excessive blood loss, but in the bloody environment of this death forest.

But Naruto didn't say much, that's what ninjas are, they are tools of killing.

His father's hands were filled with blood, and so was his mother.

In addition, Kakashi, who is already his teacher, and Uchiha Kei, Hinata Aya and Imai Kenta, who don't have their hands filled with blood?

The peace of their generation was achieved through the struggles of their fathers.

The world of ninjas is so cruel. Anyone who hesitates in the slightest may die. This is an eternal truth in the world of ninjas.

As for their luck, this scroll of the Taki-nin team is exactly what they need.

Strictly speaking, their team has completed their mission, and the next step is purely based on their own ideas.

They can choose to intercept more teams to clear obstacles, and by the way, they can collect some scrolls for people in the same village to provide them with some convenience.

Similarly, they can also choose to enter the tower directly, so that they can still get the first place result.

As they slowly moved forward, the team seemed a little silent. Such silence surprised Hinata.

Hinata really likes a quiet environment, but being so silent seems a bit beyond her expectation. In her opinion, it is most normal for these two guys to be noisy.

As it was now, so quiet that it was unimaginable, something wasn't right.

Hinata didn't know what happened to these two people and why it became like this.

But after thinking about it, she felt that it was probably caused by what Sasuke did just now.

Hinata didn't think there was anything wrong with what Sasuke did, but even if there was no problem, such a method seemed quite shocking.

To be honest, Hinata herself felt a little unbearable, although it seemed that she had left them some room to fend for themselves.

But in essence, this is killing them, which is even more extreme than killing them directly.

It's like giving a person a little hope, but after this hope there is indeed infinite darkness.

But even though there were some knots in their hearts, no one blamed or said anything, because everyone knew that this was inevitable.

After all, people are always contradictory. No matter who is doing such a thing for the first time, even if he does not do it himself, he will remember it all in his heart.

Sighing slightly, Hinata thought it would be better to stay quiet.

Because it’s useless to say anything now, not to mention I don’t know what to say.

"Sasuke." At this moment, Naruto suddenly spoke: "Tell me, why are there so many wars in the ninja world?"

"The war has ceased, at least for now." Sasuke glanced at Naruto, and he replied calmly without thinking too much: "This is the result of the hard work of our fathers. Of course, if you insist on asking Why is there a war? I can only borrow a sentence from Mr. Qi."

"Kai-sama's words?" As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Hinata and Naruto's eyes lit up slightly.

Uchiha Kei is really a great legend to them, and his words are always so thought-provoking.

Naruto's favorite sentence is that 'A great ninja is not one who is strong, but one who can carry the will of his teammates and move forward alone'.

Of course, this made Naruto understand this, and I'm afraid he still doesn't believe it, but that doesn't stop him from liking it.

Hinata is similar, but she is more because Uchiha Kei is her teacher's man, and she is also very curious about this man who attracted her teacher.

"Actually, this sentence was said by Kei-sama to my brother many years ago, probably before we were even born." Sasuke continued calmly: "Kai-sama said that war is never dominated by hatred."

"What?" Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Naruto shouted in disbelief: "Did you say something wrong? How could Mr. Kai say that? I heard many people say that they hate that village just because they attack After us, there are still "

"But have you ever considered why?" Sasuke interrupted Naruto directly: "I understand, Kei-sama's words are very impactful. My brother was also incredible at the time, but later Kei-sama told my brother: 'War is nothing more than Politics is just a continuation by another means'."

"The continuation of politics?" Naruto frowned when he heard this sentence. He had no idea what it meant.

“Well, actually I don’t quite understand it either.

My brother asked me a question. For example, in the Country of Wind, their sky is full of yellow sand and there is no suitable place for farming.

Konoha, on the other hand, has a favorable climate and environment and fertile soil. It can be said to be rich, and there is no shortage of food or anything like that.

So for the Kingdom of Wind, invading Konoha is the right thing for them to do for their own village.

But for us, it is unacceptable. "

Sasuke's tone remained calm: "Hate is only caused by their invasion. It can also be seen as an excuse for war. It is not the main cause at all."

Naruto couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this.

He didn't know how to answer it, because this kind of question was too realistic and too unacceptable.

He clasped his hands, not knowing what he was thinking. It took him a long time to raise his head and look directly at Sasuke.

"So, how do you think we can make the world peaceful?" Naruto asked firmly.

"War." Sasuke stopped and turned back to stare at Naruto: "Unifying all the villages through war is the way to make the world peaceful!"

"nonsense!"

Naruto's voice became louder: "Have you never thought that war will only cause more people to die and accumulate more hatred?

Why can't people communicate well and gain peace through communication?

What they need can be obtained through conversation, right?

The land of rivers and the land of tea, isn’t that what it is now? "

"That's your idea." Sasuke shook his head: "Actually, it doesn't make any sense for us to say this, because we can't decide anything."

After saying this, Sasuke fell silent, and so did Naruto.

But they didn't know that at this moment, a strange power began to burst out in their bodies.

Late at night, in a hidden forest in Konoha, Ohnoki and Deidara were waiting quietly.

Deidara didn't understand what was going on at all. He had to be brought to this hellish place so late at night.

Deidara still remains in Iwagakure, and all of this really has something to do with Uchiha Kei.

Since Loess was ruined by him, Onoki had to find a better person to take his place.

Under such circumstances, Deidara was even more valued by Onoki.

Because this kid is really a genius.

Although in terms of his personality, Ohnoki really makes Ohnoki furious at times.

He even wanted to throw him outside the village more than once to prevent him from causing immeasurable casualties to civilians or other ninjas through his art.

But after thinking about it, Onoki finally decided to teach him well, fully unleash this guy's talent, and try to suppress his mischievous personality.

However, after trying for several years, Ohnoki found that it was better to guide him than to suppress him.

Therefore, he and Deidara made an agreement, that is, as long as Deidara performs well and completes his training and study plan.

Then I will take a few days every month to take this guy to have a good time outside the village.

Ohnoki got an unexpected result from such an agreement, that is, Deidara was really getting better and better, and his talent seemed to be completely stimulated.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to show up. He was abducted by the Akatsuki organization outside the village.

Of course, the current Akatsuki organization has no interest in Deidara.

At present, the leader of the Akatsuki organization is essentially Obito. The members of the Akatsuki organization are basically relatively complete, and those who are not members of the Akatsuki organization are basically obedient.

Under such circumstances, he had no interest in recruiting a guy from Iwagakure.

He has not forgotten that he was buried in the cave after being blown up by Iwagakure.

Therefore, Deidara stayed in Iwagakure without any intention of rebelling.

"Old man, what are we waiting for here?" It must have been too long, and Deidara couldn't bear his impatience: "It's so late and no one has come?"

"It's coming soon, don't be anxious." Onoki shook his head: "Deidara, you have to change your character. Being so anxious is definitely not a good thing."

"Tch, if you don't say anything, how do I know what we are going to do?" Deidara tilted his mouth, but after seeing Onoki's glare, he immediately calmed down: "I know, I Got it, I’ll just shut up and wait.”

Onoki's majesty was still very strong, and Deidara really didn't dare challenge this old man.

At this moment, Deidara suddenly felt something, and he immediately turned his head to look.

Because at some point, two figures suddenly appeared beside them, without any movement at all, if it weren't for the chakra escaping.

"You guys." Deidara looked a little wary, but after seeing who was coming, he immediately became confused: "The Fourth Hokage? And Uchiha Kei?"

Yes, those who suddenly appeared near Onoki and Deidara were Uchiha Kei and Namikaze Minato!

In fact, both of them were a little confused, because they had no idea what Onoki was looking for.

They were brought here because Onoki was looking for them, and this guy's method was not unusual at all - he relied on the Iwagakure Anbu who stayed in Konoha Village to deliver the letter to the two of them.

After Namikaze Minato noticed this, he did not deal with these Anbu immediately.

After all, this kind of thing can be regarded as a semi-public matter, and there is no point in dealing with it.

He was a little surprised as to what this old man had in mind for him.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato came directly to Uchiha Kei's house. Anyway, Kushina went to find Karin's mother and was not at home.

What he didn't expect was that Uchiha Kei would also be found by Onoki.

"Lord Tsuchikage, are you looking for us?" Namikaze Minato ignored Deidara and went straight to the point: "At this time, meeting in a place like this, what do you want?"

"Actually, I came to you this time just to confirm some things." Ohnoki looked at Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Kei: "I also want to propose some things."

Looking at their young faces, especially this guy Uchiha Kei, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice, he wouldn't want to come here at all.

But once a decision has been made, Onoki will stick to it and work hard to do it well.

Perhaps the people of Yanyin Village always have a stone in their hearts. This is their inner quality, resolute and stubborn, but unwavering.

"If you have any questions, just tell me, Tsuchikage-sama." Uchiha Kei looked at Ohnoki calmly. This was the first time he had faced the old man face to face.

Although he and Iwagakure had been fighting life and death for so many years, he was really just a small fish back then, facing the strongest person was still Loess.

The most unlucky thing was that I was in a bad state at the time and was beaten into a dog by that guy.

Although he later took revenge, Uchiha Kei has always been a person who holds grudges.

"I don't dare to call you "sir"." Onoki shook his head and sighed: "Whether it's your strength or your status as acting Hokage, I can't afford to call you 'sir'."

"Lord Tsuchikage, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Namikaze Minato frowned: "What do you want to confirm, and what do you want to express?"

"I actually came here to express my goodwill." Onoki's expression was a little complicated, but then his eyes became firm: "I hope to form an alliance with Konoha!"

Hearing Ohnoki's words, Uchiha Kei and Namikaze Minato immediately felt that there were too many absurd things in this world, right?

Onoki, the eldest among the five great ninja villages, is also the most stubborn person like a rock.

He actually went to Konoha, secretly met with Konoha's Hokage and acting Hokage, and expressed his intention to form an alliance?

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there is no April Fool's Day in this world, Uchiha Keito would wonder if today is April 1st.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what do you mean by this?" Uchiha Kei looked a little strange: "Konoha and Iwagakure have always maintained a sustainable and friendly relationship. Why do you make this statement?"

"Indeed, Tsuchikage-sama." Namikaze Minato was also confused: "The relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure is still okay. Well, it's not too bad, and forming an alliance is not a simple matter. It requires both parties to go through it. Strict discussion and demarcation of a scope of interests acceptable to both parties. With your words, we..."

"Actually, as you have heard, we can accept conditions that are not too harsh. As long as it does not infringe on Iwagakure's core interests, we can form an alliance." Ohnoki said firmly: "This is my decision, and it is also our decision. The village’s decision.”

Be it Uchiha Kei, Namikaze Minato, or Deidara who was standing aside and had turned into a statue, they were all dumbfounded.

They really never expected that this old man would give in to this extent!

Not infringing on Iwagakure's core interests?

What are Iwagakure’s core interests?

In the land of earth!

This almost means that he can promote the normalization of this alliance by not caring about the interests outside Iwagakure!

What was the reason that made this old man make such a decision?

The alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure resulted in Iwagakure being attacked from both sides, forcing him to make concessions?

It shouldn't be. Whether or not there is unity in something like an alliance can be seen as the result of being driven by interests.

The reason for unity is that we have consistent goals and interests.

The reason for betrayal is that you get something different from what you expected, or you have enough leverage.

Uchiha Kei and Namikaze Minato didn't believe it. Onoki, an old man, didn't understand these things.

He can completely cut off some of the interests outside Iwagakure, that is, those close to Kumogakure, and he can completely keep the rest without compromising to this extent.

Suddenly, Uchiha Kei seemed to think of something.

He still remembered that when he was fighting Otsutsuki Ishiki, a group of outsiders were watching.

Because the opponent he faced at that time was a powerful enemy he had never encountered before.

Therefore, he was not in any mood to find out who was peeking there.

If combined with some other intelligence, such as the inexplicable disappearance of some of Iwagakure's troops, and the fact that Iwagakure began to retreat during that time.

Does that mean that the person peeking around that time was actually Onoki?

Moreover, this guy seemed to have said something about his own strength just now, so has this guy already seen his own strength?

"Lord Tsuchikage." Thinking of this, Uchiha Kei asked directly: "If you want to confirm what the big deal is, please just say it."

"What I want to confirm is whether you have been to Sugi no Kuni about five years ago." Onoki's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Kei.

In fact, he knew that what he asked was nonsense. He already had the answer in his heart. After all, he saw it with his own eyes!

But he hoped that this guy would say it himself and admit it himself, so that he could feel that his pressure would be much less.

What he is doing now is really not a good thing.

Namikaze Minato seemed to understand something at this moment, and he looked at Ohnoki with a sigh.

But he soon shook his head. He already knew that Onoki had seen all this, but the answer to why this guy was there was actually self-evident.

This old man probably got the news and knew that all the high-level officials of Konoha ran over, including the Fourth Raikage. He planned to intercept them, right?

As it happened, the old man was frightened by the battle between Uchiha Kei and Otsutsuki Ishiki and the strength they showed.

"Been there." Uchiha Kai nodded: "Not only have I been there, I also fought with someone there."

"As expected." Deidara's face changed slightly when he heard this, while Onoki breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "Who is that guy?"

"Sorry, this is confidential." Uchiha Kei shook his head: "I can only say that that guy's purpose is probably not going to make things easier for the ninja world."

"That Raikage guy, does he know the information about that person?" Ohnoki continued to ask.

"I know, because we have formed an alliance, he knows all this."

"That's it. It seems that there is no problem with my guess. You are a rational person, Uchiha Kei. You are more rational than Uchiha Madara. I hope we can continue to follow up on the alliance. He rejected us back then. Now, you won’t refuse us, will you?”

Within the River Country, there is a main pass leading to Konoha.

The dark green Susanoo was so powerful that there were already many mutilated corpses lying under it. In the hands of this huge Susanoo, there was a guy who was dying and being caught.

Shisui stood silently among Susanoo, his eyes had overflowed with a little blood, but he didn't care that much at all.

Luo Sha is still a shadow after all. Even if he is unqualified, his use of blood inheritance limits and practical experience are still very terrifying.

But unfortunately, he was ambushed by Shisui and Kisame!

In particular, the ability displayed by Shisui's kaleidoscope is not that of another god, but the mysterious power that strengthens Susanoo.

Under the explosion of Susanoo in the third stage, Rasa's blood succession limit basically became a joke.

In terms of attack power, there was no way he could break Susanoo's defense.

As for defense, he couldn't withstand Susanoo's attack at all.

Whether it was a spear or a shield, the gap was huge. Under such circumstances, Luo Sha was defeated by Shisui without any accident.

As for Rasa's subordinates, they were cleaned up one by one by Kisame.

Looking at Luo Sha, who looked dull and was obviously under an illusion, Shisui threw him aside.

His eyes were a little gloomy, because he tortured out a piece of information from Luo Sha's mouth that made him crazy.

That is, Rasa decided to cooperate with Orochimaru to launch the "Collapse Plan" against Konoha during the Chunin Exams!

No wonder so many elites set off in advance, no wonder large troops secretly flowed from all directions to the border of River Kingdom.

Just as Shisui guessed, this damn Rasa has evil intentions at all, and he wants to attack Konoha!

Also looking gloomy was Kisame, who also heard the information.

He, who could already be considered a Konoha ninja, did not go berserk when he heard this information, or he was worried that he would be exposed to Shisui, the enemy.

"What should we do now?" Shisui asked in a low voice, his voice sounding normal: "The mission has been completed, what next?"

"Send a message to Orochimaru." Kisame's voice was also very calm, as if he didn't take the information seriously at all: "Tell him."

"Then what are we going to do next? Free movement?" Shisui asked tentatively. He was really going crazy now and wanted to rush back.

"How about we go to Konoha to see it together? After all, such a big show is rare?" To Shisui's expectation, Kisame also wanted to go back, so he asked tentatively.

"That's what you mean, let's go together?"

"I never thought I could reach an agreement with you, together!"

I had somewhat forgotten about the Chunin Exam, so I looked back and was fascinated by it.
