Danzo: "??!!!"
[Danzo froze for a while.]
Danzo wasn't too surprised that his intentions had been seen through.
[only...]
Even its best friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi, didn't know about its right eye.
How could Tsunade, who was forced out of Konoha by her "defeated opponent," possibly know about this?
Could it be...?
Danzo felt a chill run down his spine.
[I never imagined that such a useful sword would betray Konoha.]
That shouldn't be the case.
It was certain, both of itself and its best friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Even if they had ideas, none of them actually "made a move" against Uchiha Sasuke.
[Could it be that Itachi Uchiha isn't afraid that he and Hiruzen will attack Sasuke?]
[etc! ]
Danzo's face is finally no longer expressionless.
["Uchiha Itachi...is back?!"]
Otherwise, they would never have voluntarily broken the contract.
In that instant, Danzo's heart sank to the bottom.
Orochimaru, Sound Ninja, Sunagakure, Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Anbu...
It's a mess.
"Heh, I told you long ago, Hiruzen, you'd regret this."
Danzo's lips twitched slightly.
Then, he slowly and deliberately unwrapped the bandages from his arm.
However, Danzo was quickly stunned again.
"Old man, what are you still doing, stalling for time?"
"Why waste your breath on someone like that?!"
"Get out here!"
[boom--]
[The next moment.]
A thick, golden chain hurtled towards Danzo.
[...]
Kushina Uzumaki: "Yay~!"
Kushina Uzumaki: "Finally, this moment has come~!"
Kushina Uzumaki: "With my daughter-in-law Izumi here, the mere Mangekyou Sharingan is nothing to worry about!"
Kushina Uzumaki: "Besides, it's a Mangekyou Sharingan whose eye technique is genjutsu."
Uchiha Shisui: ...
Tianke.
There's not much to say.
However, even without restraint.
Even the Mangekyou Sharingan can resist Kotoamatsukami.
Even if there isn't one, there's still a technique that can resist... well, it can't really be called resistance.
But it can be offset.
Kushina's words made Izumi blush.
Even now, every time I mention myself and Naruto in the black-framed world...
Izumi still feels shy.
Perhaps... it's because of Kushina.
But that's quite normal.
After all, Uchiha Izumi in the black-framed world had been lying down for about two and a half years.
I feel incredibly shy even when I'm just wiping my body.
She's comparable to Hinata.
Of course, the prerequisite is the age difference.
There's also Kushina, whose personality changed drastically and she became somewhat unserious.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
["oh?"]
"Has it been that brat yet?"
"Yes~"
[A corner of the spectator stands.]
A man covered in bandages, with only his eyes visible, raised an eyebrow as he watched Uchiha Sasuke slowly enter.
"This kid's an Uchiha... I wonder how much he's grown under Naruto's tutelage."
"How about..."
[Before the man finished speaking.]
The pretty woman beside him then took his arm and whispered:
"No, Lord Naruto has no shortage of talent in combat."
"If I stayed by Naruto's side, my improvement might not be as good as those kids."
"It might even... ruin all the advantages I should have had, which would put me at a disadvantage."
"Most importantly, I want to be by your side, Mr. Zabuza."
"Just like now..."
As she spoke, her fair face flushed slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Zabuza's eyes without wavering.
Zabuza stood with his arms crossed, eyes fixed straight ahead, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
[Pfft~]
Bai Jiao chuckled.
Then she pressed her little face against Zabuza's arm.
["Mr. Zabuza."]
"Ninjas...must always remain calm, as you said."
"Your current condition...makes you unsuitable for assassination."
Zabuza: "..."
He continued to pretend he hadn't heard anything.
Even though my heart was pounding like a drum.
Zabuza: ...
Bai: (*╹▽╹*)~!
Mr. Zabuza~~
"I didn't expect it to be our turn so soon."
"Naruto-kun, you're amazing."
Gaara's tone carried a hint of admiration.
[After a good night's sleep that day.]
Gaara already knows.
He could never be a match for Naruto.
[The other party could easily resolve the predicament that had left him helpless.]
[Even Shukaku has come to terms with his heart...]
[It's not relying on the monster inside Naruto... the Tailed Beast.]
Rather, it was Naruto's own power.
[Furthermore, there's another point that also left me speechless.]
It seems Naruto possesses a method to drastically alter someone's strength in a short period of time.
This is the scariest thing.
"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted arrogantly.
"Naruto is truly in a class of his own."
"Without him, we wouldn't be as powerful as we are today."
Upon hearing this, Gaara glanced sideways at Sasuke, whose face was full of arrogance.
A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
"Stop rambling and hurry up!"
Sasuke urged them on, then went to his seat.
[Genma Shiranui remained silent throughout, patiently waiting for the two to enter and converse.]
This made Sasuke take a second look at him.
Genma Shiranui: "..."
Surprisingly, Gaara also glanced at Genma Shiranui.
Genma Shiranui: "..."
[very good! ]
Fortunately, he didn't say a single unnecessary word from beginning to end, and his expression and eyes didn't even change!
[This moment.]
[Genma Shiranui cursed Gekko Hayate inwardly.]
[Originally, Hayate Gekko should have continued as both examiner and judge.]
[After all, the previous one was a selection tournament before the official start of the Chunin Exams, the third round of the exams.]
[These all belong to the third exam.]
[As it turned out... for some reason, that guy only served as the chief examiner and referee for the preliminary rounds before taking a break.]
Who knows where he's off gallivanting off to now.
[They might be sitting in the stands watching them make a fool of themselves!]
[call--]
Genma Shiranui took a deep breath.
Become vigilant.
These two seem to really admire that child...
[That look just now, is he going to do it again?]
[Genma Shiranui, get ready. Once the start of the match is announced, retreat to the furthest point immediately.]
We can't possibly...
[etc! ]
[The Four Purple Flame Formation wasn't dispelled; he let it in to announce the competition...]
The atmosphere is already tense even before the match has started.
[The Uchiha clan, as everyone has been waiting for.]
Gaara, the only Sand Village.
[Still the son of the Wind Shadow!]
The audience is really looking forward to this match.
"Are you two ready?"
[Genma Shiranui asked.]
I felt a little uneasy.
Neither of them spoke.
Genma Shiranui: "..."
He sighed silently.
Fortunately, the audience didn't complain, otherwise he would have had no choice but to remind them.
[The next second.]
Sasuke moved.
Genma Shiranui's breath hitched. "They really came?!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
