Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 145: All of your subordinates are traitors...

Farewell is always inevitable in life.

Sometimes it may be a blessing to leave without saying goodbye.

No matter how important a person is, the traces of their existence in your life will become fainter and fainter, until finally the other person's presence disappears quietly, leaving only time like a blunt knife.

of course.

This kind of thinking certainly doesn't apply to Uzumaki Naruto.

For Uzumaki Naruto, there has never been any farewell in his life, only so-called encounters and reunions. It is too early for a twelve-year-old kid to understand parting.

When Kakashi Hatake and Team 7 returned from a C-rank commission, Uzumaki Naruto came to Emiya Shihara with a giggle, mentioned the mission they had completed in the Land of Waves, and boasted about his own contribution without hesitation.

"Teacher Kakashi said that the C-rank commissions we completed have reached the strength of B-rank or even A-rank commissions, and we are eligible to participate in this year's Chunin Exam!"

"As long as I pass the Chunin Exam and become a Chunin..."

Uzumaki Naruto held up his ninja forehead protector and looked at the green vest on a Chunin on the street with some envy: "I can wear a Chunin uniform in the future!"

"idiot…"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but glance at Uzumaki Naruto.

"What did you say!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uchiha Sasuke angrily, with obvious displeasure on his face, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he hugged his arms and stopped arguing with Sasuke.

Obviously.

A lot of things must have happened during the execution of this C-level commission, which made Uzumaki Naruto willing to give in when facing Uchiha Sasuke.

Uzumaki Naruto sighed, looking at the many ninjas wearing forehead protectors from other ninja villages on the street: "There are many more people from other villages in the village recently..."

"Ah."

Emiya Shihara raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the people coming and going, and finally fell on the three Amegakure ninjas.

The three Amegakure ninjas were dressed strangely, wearing gas masks, and looked like two men and one woman. They seemed to have noticed Shihara Emiya's gaze, nodded to him with some respect, and left Shihara Emiya's sight on their own.

"It's the Joint Chunin Exam after all..."

Uchiha Sasuke also looked back and forth at the ninjas from other villages, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher Kakashi said that this exam will be very dangerous. I also saw many strong people from the village. The red-haired kid from the Sand Village is very strong..."

When they returned to the village, Team 7 had conflicts with ninjas from other villages, and Uchiha Sasuke also saw the best of other villages.

real…

The other party looks quite dangerous.

At least the murderous intent in the other party was not fake.

If their Team 7 had not been out on a C-rank commission and witnessed the even more terrifying murderous intent from a powerful rebel ninja outside the village, Uchiha Sasuke might have subconsciously been stunned by that murderous intent.

A kid about their age...

There is such a fierce and terrifying murderous intent in him!
According to Uchiha Sasuke's guess, maybe the kid named Gaara is the most dangerous opponent in this Chunin Exam!
of course.

Emiya Shihara would definitely not agree with the opinion of this little guy Uchiha Sasuke, because he has already seen more dangerous people.

these people…

They all came to take the exam wearing the clothes of Genin.

such as…

The Nagato trio from the Hidden Rain Village.

Another example...

Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito.

Shihara Emiya calmly chatted with the two little brats for a while, then separated from them and slowly walked into a small alley.

"Long time no see... Lord Emiya."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice appeared behind Emiya Shihara.

Although he and Uchiha Obito had been secretly colluding to betray and even kill Emiya Shihara, at this time he was still Emiya Shihara's subordinate.

"We are here to cooperate with Nagato in the assassination of Danzo."

The reason given by Orochimaru was quite impressive. He laughed and said the purpose of his visit: "After all, only I can help them find a way to lure out Danzo..."

"Master Emiya."

The figures of the Nagato trio also appeared in front of Emiya Shihara.

"Are you all here?"

Emiya Shihara turned his head slightly, his pair of samsara eyes were no longer peaceful and calm, and were even faintly filled with majesty and indifference: "Since you are here, then do one thing well. Make sure to protect Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during the Chunin Exams."

"Yes."

Payne agreed in a deep voice.

After all, the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is related to the plans of the Akatsuki organization.

"Take good care of him during the exam."

Shihara Emiya patted Nagato on the shoulder and introduced Uzumaki Naruto's identity: "That child, like you, is also Jiraiya's disciple..."

"A new disciple of Jiraiya-sensei?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Nagato's voice.

"..."

Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little curious about Jiraiya's new disciple.

after all…

Jiraiya was his old friend.

As one of the people in the world who knows Jiraiya best, Orochimaru would not underestimate Jiraiya's abilities, especially when it comes to training disciples.

but…

Orochimaru was more interested in someone else.

Orochimaru thought of Uzumaki Naruto's companion Uchiha Sasuke. When he saw the handsome Uchiha Sasuke, a hint of greed appeared on his face.

That boy... looks like a very tempting vessel.

Before he completes the theory of reincarnation + cloning proposed by Emiya Shihara, he can consider Uchiha Sasuke's child as an alternative.

of course.

Looks alone are not enough.

Orochimaru planned to take advantage of the opportunity of this Chunin Exam to observe Uchiha Sasuke's talent. If it was suitable, he would make that child his own target.

"Orochimaru."

Emiya Shihara seemed not to notice Orochimaru's thoughts, and asked casually, "When can we deal with Danzo..."

"this…"

Orochimaru immediately regained his composure and said with a smile: "It will take a little time. Konoha's defenses have been tightened recently..."

Such words...

Of course it's a lie.

Orochimaru just wanted to delay time.

After all, Orochimaru came to Konoha not to help kill Danzo Shimura. He didn't even plan to meet Danzo Shimura, lest that guy make a bunch of unreasonable demands!
Last time…

When Kabuto Yakushi returned with the mask...

By the way, he also brought back Danzo Shimura's request to Orochimaru.

That old guy…

I actually want a Rinnegan!

but…

Maybe this is a good thing.

At least that guy Danzo Shimura has some influence in Konoha.

Even if that little influence is minimal, it might be able to affect the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it just needs to be planned carefully to avoid causing trouble...

The storm is approaching.

Hopefully, this storm won't get out of your control.

“I need to identify the right opportunity.”

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said softly: "After all, Danzo was once the assistant of Konoha's Hokage. It is not easy to deal with him without alerting Konoha. Maybe we only have one chance..."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Emiya Shihara nodded, not seeming to care.

"rest assured."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, his head slowly lowered, a pair of dangerous eyes faintly revealed among his long hair, like a snake before hunting.

"must…"

"It will satisfy Emiya-sama."

"..."

Xiaonan frowned subconsciously.

Because Konan really doesn't trust this guy Orochimaru.

"Obito."

Emiya Shihara saw the look in Orochimaru's eyes, as if he knew Uchiha Obito was nearby, and suddenly called out to Uchiha Obito, who had been ordered to monitor Orochimaru.

"During this period..."

"Keep an eye on Orochimaru."

"Don't let anything go wrong."

"Really..."

Orochimaru smiled, as if he couldn't understand Shihara Emiya's suspicion of him: "Why can't you give me a little more trust..."

"rest assured."

A space-time vortex appeared on the wall of the alley.

Uchiha Obito looked at Emiya Shihara with arrogance, and then at Orochimaru, as if there had never been any collusion between them.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

"I can help too."

At this time, the figures of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu quietly emerged from the wall, smiled sinisterly and said: "Make sure everything goes well..."

"That... couldn't be better."

Emiya Shihara nodded with satisfaction and glanced at his subordinates, at least those who still belonged to him in name.

An Orochimaru who wants to deal with himself.

An Uchiha Obito who wants to replace him.

A Black Zetsu who wants to help himself and make the whole world his enemy.

Compared to these three guys with rebellious spirits, the Nagato trio who have been standing by obediently and only wanting revenge really seem innocent and cute.

however…

Such a simple trio of Nagato...

But it will be the center of the great storm that will trigger the Chunin Exam.

but…

When this storm passes...

They no longer need to be involved in a bigger vortex.
