Chapter 428: Arriving at Konoha
Chapter 428: Arriving at Konoha
Land of Fire, Konoha.
The location of Konoha can be said to be the most resource-rich area in the Land of Fire. Almost all of it’s surrounded by dense forests. It is said that these are all made by the First Hokage’s Wood Release.
Looking at Konoha in the distance, Naito remembered the first time he came here, Konoha has always been like this, extremely noisy and lively.
“So noisy.”
Although the Rain Village has been built to be extremely prosperous too, it is still impossible to be compared with the largest village, Konoha. At the same time, Rain Village is in the Land of Rain, it cannot be noisy, in general, you will only hear the sound of the rain.
“Here I came to Konoha, but unfortunately, that guy is no longer here…”
Kimimaro thought of the first time when he came to Konoha, encountering Uchiha Itachi meant a lot for him at the time.
Although he has become strong in recent years, Kimimaro reencountered Uchiha Itachi, and since then, he considered him invincible.
Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku got greatly enhanced by completing the Second Stage of the Sage Mode Transformation. His self-healing ability got also strengthened. Although Itachi’s Amaterasu was a trouble for him, he could still discard the burned skin and bones and grow new ones again.
But doing that consumes his Chakra, and physical energy, while Itachi’s Amaterasu also consumes Chakra, so after a few confrontations, he didn’t continue to fight, because he had a task to do.
“Is it Uchiha Itachi? But even if he’s in Konoha, he can’t take this Chunin Exam.” Haku looked at Kimimaro, who then pondered.
“Right.”
Kimimaro nodded, except for Itachi, he also had few opponents he interested to fight. However, since Naito ordered him to take the Exam, he would naturally follow, regardless of who’s participating.
“Although Uchiha Itachi is not in Konoha, there will still be other interesting things and interesting people, it won’t be so boring.”
Naito looked at Kimimaro, and then looked at Konoha in the distance, then suddenly a grin smug appeared on his face and speeded up.
The three kids naturally followed immediately, and soon, they entered Konoha.
Walking on the streets, and using his Ultra Perception, Naito suddenly revealed an interesting expression, looking at a lane in front.
Karin also seemed slightly aware, and her brows flickered slightly. As for Haku and Kimimaro, both aren’t particularly good at perception and didn’t sense anything.
……..
“It hurts, you kid.”
Kankuro grabbed Konohamaru with one hand, picked him up, then squinted at him.
Temari on the side frowned slightly, then said: “Forget it, don’t make trouble.”
Kankuro saw how Naruto was screaming at him and noticed Konoha’s symbol on his forehead protector, then suddenly smiled evilly, saying, “I just want to have fun before the beginning of the Exam.”
“You bastard!”
Naruto suddenly got furious, clenched his fist, and rushed toward Kankuro directly, who looked like an ordinary bastard.
Kankuro saw this, his eyes flashed slightly, and using a Chakra line, he easily caused Naruto to slip, then he sneered at him: “So this is are Konoha week Genin.”
Naruto was ridiculed, and of course, he was even more irritated. After standing up again, he stared at Kankuro so he could let Konohamaru go.
Kankuro didn’t dare to kill people casually in Konoha, but since Naruto acted so arrogantly, he wanted to scare them more.
As a result, he clenched his fist and was about to hit Konohomaro in the stomach, but a stone suddenly flew over and instantly hit him on the arm!
Snapped!!
When the stone hit him, Konohamaru fell to the ground, and the grandson of the Third Hokage started crying.
“You shouldn’t act too presumptuous in other people’s villages.”
Sasuke sat on the top of the tree, playing with a stone in his hand, and looking indifferently at Kankuro. After seeing Naito’s power, his desire for power grew stronger, even Kankuro he couldn’t give much intention anymore.
So, Sasuke, with his new desires, looked faintly at Kankuro, and said directly, “Get lost!”
Although Kankuro got beaten, Temari, on the side, didn’t care much. Instead, she was shocked by Sasuke’s appearance and attitude.
As for Sakura. Although she thought that Sasuke looked very cool, after seeing how Naito split that mountain, she didn’t consider him as the coolest guy anymore.
There’s no doubt that there’s a big gap between Sasuke and Naito. And with that in her heart, she no longer loves Sasuke as before.
“You bastard…”
Kankuro shouted coldly at Sasuke, then he grabbed the puppet on his back and prepared to fight him.
Suddenly a cold voice emitted.
“Kankuro, stop.”
Carrying a groud on his back, Gaara of the sand stood upside down under the tree trunk, looking coldly at Kankuro, then said, “Don’t disgrace me here.”
Gaara’s sudden appearance surprised everyone, including Sasuke, who didn’t know when did he come so close.
……
Far away at this time.
Other people were watching, but Gaara and the others weren’t aware of them.
“The Ichibi’s Jinchuriki, it’s really him.”
Naito looked at him but didn’t show any surprised expression. Since Naruto has become the Kyuubi Jinchuriki because of Black Zetsu, Gaara being the Jinchuriki of the Ichibi wasn’t that strange.
“The one carrying that groud, Gaara of the sand… Is he really strong?” Hearing Naito’s word, Kimimaro looked at Gaara in the distance with some surprise.
He originally thought that this joint Chunin Exam gonna be easy, but he didn’t expect to encounter a Jinchuriki, but Kimimaro’s determination didn’t get shaken. Taking this Exam was an order from Naito, he will defeat everyone, and he will never disappoint Naito.
Looking at Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others in the distance, Naito, who stood aside, smiled a little and said, “Don’t just focus on Gaara. Look at the one standing on the tree trunk, his name is Uchiha Sasuke, and he’s actually Itachi’s younger brother.”
“What?!”
This sentence suddenly caused Haku and Kimimaro to get stunned, then the two of them immediately turned to look at Sasuke, on the side, Karin also watched him.
When they encountered Uchiha Itachi last time, they were doing a mission, and Karin was also in their team. Karin watched Itachi fight, and she could feel how powerful he is.
However, in her perception, Sasuke was obviously too weak compared to Itachi.
As for Sasuke’s appearance, she didn’t find him any attractive because all that she could think of all day is Naito.
In terms of appearance, Naito is almost perfect, and he cannot be compared to Sasuke.
Even if Sasuke as handsome as he is, the aura around Naito grants him a sense of perfection.
“Itachi’s younger brother, but it seems that there’s nothing special about him,” Kimimaro observed Sasuke for a moment, then revealed a thoughtful expression.
Naito can still clearly perceive Indra’s Chakra in him, but of course, Kimimaro and the other couldn’t sense such a thing, but Naito didn’t explain and glanced at Naruto.
“In addition to Sasuke, don’t underestimate the boy with the short blond hair, he’s also a Jinchuriki.”
