Chapter 119: A Tiring Teammate, the Best Opponent
Deep in the Forest of Death.
Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari of the Sunagakure were moving fast. Ordinary ninjas were not their opponent, and Gaara was not willing to meet Uehara.
Temari vaguely knew that Gaara was afraid of the guy named Uehara Naraku, but she did not dare to ask for fear of Gaara’s anger.
While searching through the Forest of Death, they encountered a group of Takigakure ninjas. Gaara immediately started a killing spree, “Sabaku Soso!” (Sand Waterfall Funeral)
Clouds of yellow sand mixed with blood flew out!
Once wrapped in Gaara’s yellow sand, they had no chance for a counterattack, leaving this team of Takigakure Ninjas dead.
Clap clap clap…
A burst of applause echoed through the forest.
Uehara clapped his palms and appeared in the sight of Gaara’s trio. The corners of his mouth smiled lightly and said, “Ha, it’s still the same weak Gaara…”
“What are you doing here!”
Gaara’s face suddenly became more and more vigilant. As he manipulated the yellow sand to appear at his feet, he said coldly, “Do you want to take the scroll in our hands?”
Gaara knows very well in his heart that his odds of winning against Uehara were very low. Even if he summoned Ichibi, his chances of defeating Uehara were slim!
Some enemies couldn’t be handled with bloodthirst and rage.
Gaara was occasionally very sensible, and he knew who he could provoke and who he couldn’t. After all, Uehara was a ruthless man who killed the Fourth Kazekage!
“I’ve got the scrolls.”
Uehara shook his head, his eyes flowed slowly, glanced at Kankuro, and then at Temari, “I’m just interested in your brother and sister… Why don’t I give you a chance? In ten seconds, I will launch an offense and see who you manage to protect?”
“Hmph, do you think I would care!”
Gaara snorted coldly and said nonchalantly, “Anyway, you have already killed Rasa. It doesn’t matter if you want to kill them too.”
“What did you just say?”
Temari looked at her younger brother in disbelief and pointed her finger at Uehara, “Gaara, is this man our father’s murderer ?”
“Huh, yeah!”
Gaara glanced at Temari, displeased, and said, “Baki forbid me telling you guys, but now that you have seen him, if you want revenge, you can kill that man! Anyway, I have no interest in helping Rasa get revenge! “
“You’re so heartless!”
Uehara sighed and suddenly stretched his palm in the direction of Temari and Kankuro, “Sand Soldier Arise!”
A sand soldier suddenly appeared behind Temari!
Just as the sand soldier’s spear stretched out, Temari suddenly removed the three-star fan on her back, blocked the sand soldier’s attack, and smashed the sand soldier apart with one blow!
Unfortunately, Kankuro was not so lucky. The sand soldier’s spear pierced his crow puppet from behind, wounding his lower abdomen.
Uehara’s figure instantly appeared behind Kankuro and kicked him to the side with a whip kick. The speed of these ninjas was pitifully slow!
Kankuro basically did nothing before fainting.
“Kankuro!”
Temari’s face suddenly became anxious, and she suddenly opened the huge three-dotted fan, “Kamaitachi no Jutsu!” (Sickle Weasel Technique)
“Your speed is too slow, and the power too weak.”
Uehara jumped into the air and avoided the wind ninjutsu. He looked down at the tense-looking Temari on the ground and suddenly stretched out his palm, “Twilight Sword!”
A purple chakra broadsword appeared in Uehara’s hands!
Temari didn’t care about how strong Uehara was. She just looked up at Uehara in the air, a trace of madness flashed in her eyes, and once again raised the three-star fan in her hand!
Boom!
Uehara’s speed was significantly faster!
The purple broadsword in Uehara’s hand slashed towards Temari’s three-dotted fan downward and knocked the 15-year-old girl out with one blow.
Just as Uehara walked towards Temari step by step, yellow sand suddenly wrapped around Uehara’s ankle!
“You should stop!”
Gaara looked at Uehara coldly and stopped Uehara’s plan of continuing attacking his opponent, “You can go and kill Kankuro, but Temari is worth living!”
Temari raised her head dazedly, suppressing her instinct to vomit blood after a severe injury, and looked at his brother with complicated eyes, “Gaara…”
Although she felt gratified that Gaara was willing to protect her, allowing his enemy to kill his brother Kankuro…
Wasn’t it a bit too much?
“Can I understand that but were you trying to stop me?”
Uehara squinted his eyes with a smile, and his figure suddenly disappeared in the next second. Using the Shadow Dash skill, he rushed over to Gaara and knocked Gaara away with a punch, “Who gave you the courage? Who do you think you are?”
“…cough!”
The sand armor Gaara had shattered in an instant and a mouthful of blood spurt out. A thought appeared in his mind. Uehara Naraku’s power had become stronger than before!
Gaara was asleep at that time, so he didn’t know that Uehara’s attacks could defeat Shukaku head-on!
After Uehara defeated Gaara, he picked up Temari by the collar, knocked the woman out with a punch, and slowly turned and left the scene.
Gaara stared at his back, gritted his teeth, and manipulated the sand to move to Temari’s side to check her injuries.
Finding that his sister was not in danger, Gaara reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, he pulled Kankuro to his side again and took the yellow sand left in his body when the sand soldier pierced Kankuro.
Fortunately, none of his teammates died.
It’s just that Gaara didn’t quite understand. What does Uehara want to do? Was it just to show off his strength?
Unfortunately, Gaara would never think of the true answer.
Uehara was checking his harvest.
[Side Mission: Defeat Temari (1/1)]
[Reward: skill Howling Gale.]
[Howling Gale: Form a hurricane by releasing accumulating Chakra that can destroy everything on its way. The size is proportional to the amount of Chakra used with a minimum of 60 Chakra. Cooldown, 6 seconds.]
[Side Mission: Defeat Kankuro (1/1)]
[Reward: 100 gold coins]
Uehara’s brows furrowed. When he defeated Gaara, he was awarded the Sand Soldiers Arise’s skill, a very useful group attack skill. Defeating Temari just now rewarded Howling Gale. How come when it was Kankuro’s turn, it became 100 gold coins?
The difference between the three brothers and sisters was too big!
“It’s normal, I guess. After all, Kankuro is too weak.”
Uehara sighed and used the newly acquired Hunting Rhythm skill, his figure quietly disappearing, “The next team was also very weak. Won’t the reward also be a hundred gold coins?”
In the bushes of the Forest of Death.
Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji were hiding.
Regardless of their attitude or way of thinking, the three thought they should hide in advance, and after the dangerous people left, they planned to find a team weaker than themselves.
After a while, Shikamaru confirmed that the outside was safe. He turned his head to look at the distraught Choji, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded at him.
Choji immediately calmed down, pulled out his potato chips, and ate happily. His stomach was empty.
A young ninja suddenly appeared out of thin air, standing next to Choji, and asked softly, “Your potato chips, are they delicious?”
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Choji nodded while desperately stuffing potato chips into his mouth. The next moment he suddenly reacted, he didn’t recognize this voice!
“Shikamaru, there were enemies here!”
“Okay, okay, okay, I got it. You should be quiet!”
Shikamaru grabbed Choji, lest they lose a combatant before they formally fight, and patted the terrified Ino to make her sober.
To be honest, Shikamaru was tired of such teammates.
It’s a pity that the Ino-Shika-Cho clans had always been inseparable. This was an inheritance passed down from the Warring States Period since their secret technique worked together very well, so he could not change it easily.
Otherwise, Shikamaru kind of wanted their good friend Naruto to take the place of Ino. After all, this woman was very troublesome.
“Compared to the other genin I have encountered, your actions are very sensible.”
The young ninja stretched out his palm towards Shikamaru, looking polite. He looked at Shikamaru with admiring eyes, “I will introduce myself, my name is Uehara Naraku, and I am your next opponent.”
Uehara liked opponents like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio very much.
