Chapter 78 Return to Konoha, Chunin Exams
After some time, Akali, having reached an agreement with Feng Hua Xiaoxue, came out of the room.
Although the Land of Snow is remote, it is not without value. Konoha is good, but its internal affairs are too complicated.
Well, when it comes to home, everyone wants their home environment to be quiet, right?
That was the purpose of my conversation with Feng Hua Xiao Xue this time.
Akali has too many secrets, and she can't reveal the existence of the system to anyone, so she needs an absolutely safe and secluded place.
Fortunately, the Land of Snow is so remote and secluded that no one would normally make a special trip to visit it.
Furthermore, Akali has teleportation, so distance is not an important thing for her.
Therefore, the transaction is concluded.
Akali helps Xiaoxue defeat Fenghua Nutao, allowing her to regain her position as Daimyo.
And Windflower Snow provides Akali with a new home, an absolute haven.
It might be a tough night for Akali, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
She had to act today; today was the least suspicious time.
Who could have imagined that he would fight a Jonin this morning and still not have his chakra recovered, only to travel hundreds of miles by water tonight for another battle?
Even the Third Raikage, who once possessed both the strongest spear and the strongest shield, might not dare to say that he could have done such a thing when he was a Jonin!
So, after bidding farewell to the wind, flowers, and snow, Akali jumped off the ship.
He tilted his head back and gulped down the Iron Potion, the Witchcraft Potion, and the Wrath Potion.
Sprint activated, Cloak of Light triggered, Swiftness triggered, and Tailwind activated!
With a speed comparable to low-altitude flight, Akali transformed into a wisp of green smoke and raced towards the Snow Country!
However, Fuuka Nutō clearly did not have the habit of wearing chakra armor while sleeping.
With a swift stroke, a head fell to the ground. Then, TP went to the ward that had been placed in the sea beforehand, searched it out, and returned to the ship.
On the night after a major battle, no one noticed that Akali had gone out to do some personal work.
This was a perfect infiltration and assassination! (Master Kang gave it a thumbs down)
What happened next is self-evident.
then……
Two weeks later.
Konoha, Hokage Building.
"..."
"That's basically the situation, Hokage-sama!"
Kneeling behind the Third Generation, Kurenai Yuhi bowed her head and began to speak.
"Is that so...?"
Looking out the window, the third generation exhaled a puff of smoke:
"After you landed, you received news that Feng Hua Nu Tao had been assassinated, so Princess Xiao Xue hastily ascended the throne, and the various tribes of the Snow Kingdom surrendered almost without a second thought."
"After waiting for a while and finding no other abnormalities, Princess Xiaoxue announced to you that the mission was complete."
"Well……"
"Hong, have you found absolutely no clue as to who killed Feng Hua Nu Tao?"
“This…” A person’s image flashed through Kurenai’s mind.
If she really had someone to suspect, she did have one, but it was just a gut feeling.
Furthermore, Kurenai Yuhi truly didn't believe that Akali, after unleashing such a ninjutsu, would still have enough chakra to launch a hundred-mile dash and then take down Fuuka Nata.
How could she know that there was a rune in this world called Waterwalking that allowed Akali to run on water without consuming chakra?
At the same time, Akali's own energy bar nature also allows her chakra to recover quite quickly.
So Kurenai Yuhi finally shook her head: "I'm sorry, Third Hokage, I am incompetent!"
"Is that so? Then forget it!" The Third Hokage did not pursue the matter: "It's just the Land of Snow, it's not that important, and it doesn't have much to do with us."
"Let's not talk about this anymore!"
The third generation turned around, took a few sheets of paper from the table beside him, and handed them to Kurenai Yuhi:
"It's good that you're back now. Although it's a bit late, you haven't missed anything."
"This is……"
Looking at the paper in the Third Hokage's hand, Kurenai Yuhi glanced at it: "Chunin Exams Volunteer Application Form? The Chunin Exams are about to begin?"
"Yes, Hong. Could you please make another trip and deliver these things to your students?"
“Okay!” Kurenai took the application form and disappeared from the Hokage’s office in a flash.
At this moment, Akali had just come out of Shueisha.
This Snow Country mission took quite a long time, so long that the money from the last shoot was already used up and needs to be divided up.
"Let me see, where are Naruto and Sasuke?"
Akali opened the minimap, and now all the important street nodes in Konoha have been warded by her. If not all of them are warded, at least 60% are warded, making it incredibly easy to find people.
However, after opening the minimap and glancing at it twice, Akali was suddenly taken aback.
"Hey, hey, it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?" Akali's expression turned a little strange.
Because she saw not only Naruto and Sasuke, but also other people.
Naruto and Konohamaru were being chased by Sakura. In the end, Konohamaru bumped into a gloomy man who was covered in a black robe, had purple paint on his face, and carried a puppet on his back.
Such obvious characteristics could only come from Kankuro, the puppeteer from Sunagakure.
"So, Gaara and the others have arrived? That's interesting!"
"Go say hello!"
Akali determined the direction and then quickly set off.
Meanwhile, the conflict is far from over.
Seeing Kankuro holding onto Konohamaru by the collar, an enraged Naruto charged forward.
Still somewhat short, but under Akali's influence, he has developed a robust physique like a racehorse leaving the pen!
"Oh, the speed is not bad!"
Kankuro was slightly surprised when he saw Naruto rushing towards him.
"But what about this?"
Kankuro held Konohamaru in one hand, and with a slight movement of his fingers in the other, invisible chakra threads wrapped around Naruto's ankle.
Then, pull hard!
A considerable force pulled Naruto's ankle forward.
If it were an ordinary genin, facing such a sudden attack, even if the force wasn't particularly strong, it would definitely disrupt their balance and cause them to fall hard, just like Naruto in the original story.
But the Naruto we know now is not the same Naruto from the original story. The Naruto we know now is someone who has gone through Might Guy's hellish training.
Faced with Kankuro's little trick, Naruto lowered his body, took a horse stance, and used the Thousand-Pound Drop technique. Kankuro was like a bull being pulled back, and the chakra threads he used to control the puppet snapped instantly!
His fingers were marked with a noticeable line from the suddenly tightened chakra threads!
"Hiss!" Kankuro gasped in pain.
Seeing this, Naruto smiled smugly:
"Heh heh, you gloomy-faced bastard, I don't know what methods you used, but you think you can ambush my Lord Naruto? Go home and train for another 20,000 years!"
"You bastard..."
Enraged, Kankuro put down Konohamaru and reached to untie the straps on the puppet behind him.
