Chapter 122: What are You Doing… I Want to Learn Too!
Uehara and Team 7 quickly became friendly.
After Uehara rescued them under Orochimaru, he also healed Sasuke and Naruto. Although Uehara was very arrogant earlier, Team 7 now felt that Uehara was a very kind person.
Sure enough, one had to look at a person’s essence before they judged someone!
“I didn’t expect you to be able to perform medical ninjutsu…”
Sasuke looked at Uehara healing Naruto and couldn’t help but say, “I remember that other ninjas should protect the medical ninja, right? Where are your two companions? Why are they not by your side?”
As he said these words, Sasuke’s heart suddenly became vigilant again. What if Uehara and his teammates had bad intentions on their Team?
“Don’t worry. I arranged for them to go elsewhere.”
Uehara waved his hand. He patted his ninja bag and whispered, “And I have already collected the heaven and earth scrolls. I do not have any intentions against you guys, and I came and helped you because you are Kakashi’s students.”
“Oh, you have the scroll?”
Sasuke, who had just been cured, rekindled his fighting spirit in an instant, “It’s better to add one more item to our agreement. As long as I defeat you, in addition to Itachi’s information, you will also give us the scroll in your hand! “
Sakura looked puzzled, “Sasuke-kun…”
Even if Sakura’s strength was low, she could still tell that Uehara was very strong based on the previous events! How would Sasuke be the opponent of a ninja who made Orochimaru retreat?
“Not bad.”
Uehara squinted his eyes and smiled. He said, “I am very optimistic about you. Even if you know you were not my opponent, you have a heart that never gives up. I believe you will defeat Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito sooner or later.”
Sasuke heard Uehara’s appreciation and proudly said, “Hmph, I know that I am not strong enough, but I also want you to tell me the difference between Itachi and me!”
“Ok…”
After Uehara treated Naruto, he stretched out his hand and gestured, “Although we haven’t fought yet, the gap between the two of you should be about seven or eight Kakashi.”
“???”
Sasuke’s head was covered in question marks.
Where did this unit of measurement come from!
“Well, it’s already late today.”
Uehara glanced at the sky and said softly, “You guys should rest here! I’m going to catch some fish and prepare dinner.”
“Ah, you worked hard healing us, right?”
Sakura raised her head in surprise. She looked at Uehara and said, “I will catch the fish. After all, I couldn’t do anything special, and you have helped us so much. You also helped heal Sasuke and Naruto…”
“…”
Sasuke’s eyes flickered, and he did not volunteer to take over the job of catching fish. After all, Naruto and Sakura have no fighting ability, so he wanted to stay to protect his teammates.
In fact, the most suitable person to catch fish now was Naruto!
“No need.”
Uehara waved his hand and said with a light smile, “I will be back soon. Along the way, I will check if there are any enemies around. If Orochimaru is still nearby, you will be in danger if you meet him.”
He did not wait for Sakura to refuse and left.
After Uehara left, Sasuke slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, “I thought that guy was here to rob our scrolls or had some other plot. Now it seems like he just wants to help us? “
“Perhaps it’s because of Kakashi-sensei?”
Sakura thought for a while and whispered, “My instincts tell me that he and Kakashi-sensei’s relationship should be fairly good. Maybe it’s because of Kakashi-sensei that he’s helping us?”
“There is such a possibility.”
After Sasuke nodded and continued, “But we must not let our guard down. In this forest, everyone was our enemy.”
What he said was very reasonable.
They had never expected the previously arrogant Uehara to suddenly express kindness, and it easily slowly changed their attitude.
Who would refuse a person’s kindness?
Even Sasuke was ashamed of refusing.
As for Naruto, who was asleep on the ground, this guy was a passionate idiot. As long as someone showed kindness to him, Naruto would believe in them, 100%!
After all, apart from Team 7, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, etc Naruto has not seen many people act kindly towards him…
Dusk was coming, and the sun gradually set.
As Uehara expected, Orochimaru was still lurking near Team 7 since he had taken a fancy to Sasuke’s body.
Although Sasuke’s strength and talent were still somewhat weaker than Itachi’s, it was the best choice for Orochimaru.
However, when Orochimaru saw that Uehara had left, he didn’t even care about his face as one of Konoha’s Sannin and wanted to secretly launch another attack on Team 7. Orochimaru still wanted to plant a cursed seal on Sasuke.
A long snake rushed out suddenly and opened its mouth to bite Orochimaru, which also stopped Orochimaru’s attempt on Sasuke!
“Oh?”
Orochimaru’s face changed slightly, and he grabbed the long snake with one hand and pulled out the person manipulating the long snake to attack him. After he saw the person, a smile appeared on his face, “Anko, why were you using this ninjutsu on the one who taught it to you?”
“It really is you, Orochimaru!”
Anko rushed to the side of Orochimaru, pushed him to the side of a tree, and tightly restrained his movements, “No matter how far away, I can smell your scent…”
At this moment, the ever-present smile on Anko’s face no longer exists.
This female ninja, who likes to run around in Konoha with Dango in her mouth, looked at her old teacher. Her expression was extremely complicated and painful.
Just as Orochimaru was about to laugh and say a few words, Anko slammed the handle of kunai onto Orochimaru and said, “Orochimaru, this time I will definitely not let you escape!”
“Do you want to use the ninjutsu I taught you to make the two of us die together? You are my disciple. Why can’t you ever get rid of your impulsive habits?”
Orochimaru in front of her suddenly turned into a mass of mud and disappeared.
Another Orochimaru appeared quietly, looking at the somewhat horrified Anko. He stretched out his palm and stroked her cheek, “Are you sad? Sad that I left you behind?”
“…”
Anko’s face was extremely gloomy and complicated.
Anko really hated her teacher for defecting. He left her alone in Konoha and faced other people’s accusing gazes, making her live in pain.
“Cough cough cough…”
A figure of a young ninja stood above Orochimaru and Anko, looking down at Orochimaru’s intimate act with Anko, and couldn’t help saying, “Master-disciple love relationship? Does the S-rank traitor and his little apprentice share a deep sadomasochistic relationship? Teach me. I want to learn it too!”
“Uehara Naraku!”
Orochimaru’s face changed. Why was this bastard always in his shadow!
When she saw other people, the frustration on Anko’s face instantly faded. She clutched the faintly painful curse mark on the back of her neck and suddenly distanced herself from Orochimaru!
She had to show the persistence of Konoha’s Ninjas!
Besides, she was also the chief examiner of this part of the Chunin exam.
“Should I not be here?”
Uehara looked at Anko and continued with a chuckle, “It turns out that our chief examiner and Konoha’s S-rank traitor Orochimaru still share this level of intimacy. No wonder he managed to sneak into this exam and attack us, Genin. Makes sense!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Anko looked coldly at Uehara and said, “Idiot, this place is too dangerous. Leave quickly. I can’t protect you against him! Wait… You’re just a Genin. How could you know Orochimaru?”
When Anko recalled that Orochimaru called Uehara’s name, she reacted thoroughly and turned to look at Orochimaru. She saw her former teacher’s gloomy and vigilant gaze as he stared at him.
Who was this passionate idiot who she met at the meeting point earlier!
