Chapter 30 Bet?Gaara's Challenge
Chapter 30 Bet?Gaara's Challenge
early morning.
"Haha, teacher, have you taken the rejuvenation medicine?" After Hiruzen Sarutobi woke up, Jiraiya handed him a mirror, looked left and right at his face, and laughed.
Sarutobi on the side looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes suddenly widened like bells.
"This...is this?" Sarutobi touched his face in disbelief.
He stretched his right arm again. It had been a bit difficult to stretch before, but now it was easy.
"What is the reason..." He lowered his head, thinking quietly, and looked up at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Footsteps came from outside the door.
"Hokage-sama, how are you recovering?"
"Ah, it's Itachi!" Seeing that the person coming was Uchiha's brother, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly wanted to sit up, but the conditions didn't allow it.
"No need to bother." Itachi waved his hand, indicating that Sarutobi didn't need to get up.
He carefully looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's slightly younger face, seeming to be thinking about something.
"It's weird. It's been like this since I woke up."
Itachi nodded: "My roommate's hair has also turned silver. I'm also wondering what happened."
Jiraiya made some room for him to stay and motioned for him to sit down.
"How is Ke's condition now?"
"Her body is basically fine, but she is still mentally ill."
"Thanks to her this time, I was able to survive. Jiraiya, give me a hand and I'll go see her."
Itachi stopped him quickly.
"Let's wait until you feel better. Now I want to ask what happened on the rooftop before Ke rescued you."
"Okay. But after I tell you about this, I need to keep it a secret and don't talk about it to anyone else."
Jiraiya and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Sarutobi's gourd.But he still agreed.
Jiraiya walked over and locked the door.
……
"That's it." After telling the truth, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth was dry and he took a sip of water.
After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Jiraiya crossed his legs, scratched his chin, and recalled the scene on the rooftop.
"So, is that body Danzo's...and, do those guys know about this?"
"They don't know. However, once Danzo dies, the whole group will be leaderless. Now I'm worried about whether they will fight back."
Jiraiya pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking of countermeasures.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.Several people quickly shut up and Jiraiya walked to the door.
A silver-haired girl was holding on to a long-legged bench, looking exhausted.There were still some water stains on the collar of her clothes, apparently from accidentally choking while drinking water.
Jiraiya quickly lifted the girl's left arm.
"Be careful, you are not in good health right now."
"Ke! Why are you here?" Seeing Ke, Itachi quickly walked over and picked her up.Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side also quickly sat up and looked at the two brothers and sisters.
"Ke, how is your health now?" Sarutobi picked up a tissue distressedly and wiped the water stains on Ke's collar.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern."
"Silly boy, there's no need to thank me. If it weren't for you yesterday, I would have died a long time ago. To be honest, I didn't expect that I would survive." As he said that, Hiruzen saw a washed apple next to him. Passed it to Ke.
Ke was not polite, picked up the apple and started chewing it.
"How is your recovery going? (Chew)"
"It's okay, I'm still strong. But you, you probably didn't have breakfast today, right?" As if looking at his granddaughter, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled kindly, touched Ke's head, and asked the nurse to bring a few portions Bring the food.
Several people continued to chat, expressing their sighs about surviving the disaster and looking forward to the future of Konoha.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the clothes next to him and took out a mahogany key with complex tooth patterns and the word "fire" on it.
He handed the key to Ke.
"This is the spare key to the Hokage's office. There are many scrolls in the office that were used in the past. You can use them as you like, but try not to touch forbidden arts. Also, if you agree, I can be your teacher."
Ke looked at Itachi next to him and saw that Itachi had his face turned away.It means that he will not interfere with Ke's decision.
Ke narrowed her eyes slightly and considered it seriously.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is proficient in several types of ninjutsu.If you really worship him as your master, then the [Light Escape·Light Transformation] you just obtained will be able to fully play its role.
However, Ke thought, now that he is clearly a student of Kakashi Hatake, would it be a little bad to do this?
Seeing the hesitation in Ke's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to add.
"Kakashi, if you should go, you should go. I will ask him to give me some teaching time."
Hearing this, Ke took the key decisively.
"Then, please give me more advice from now on, teacher."
……
Time flies, more than a week has passed.During the days when Ke was hospitalized, many friends came to visit with things. Among them, Ino and Hinata were the most exaggerated. At that time, they even cried worriedly in front of Ke.
Fugaku also often comes to see his daughter, sometimes bringing some nutritional supplements and some new clothes he just bought.But as soon as he comes, he will talk about many great principles, just like chanting sutras.
However, in Ke's impression, there were two people who seemed to have never been here.That is Uchiha Sasuke and Shisui.
In fact, they had been here before, but they just hid at the door and left without saying a word until they confirmed that Ke was in good health.
……
Finally, it was the night before Ke was discharged from the hospital.Uchiha Itachi went out to get medicine as usual.
At this time, several uninvited guests came.
I saw Gaara walking over with Temari and Kankuro, and Kankuro was still playing with a puppet in his hand.Temari had a wicked smile on her face and held the iron fan in her hand.
Looking at these people from a distance, Uchiha felt that they had bad intentions. She sat up to see what they wanted to do.
Seeing the weapon in the opponent's hand, Ke took out the kunai from the ninja bag and silently formed the seal.Once the opponent launches an attack, he will launch the dodge technique as quickly as possible.
However, she then thought about it, if she wanted to carry out a sneak attack, why would she wait until the day before she was discharged from the hospital?
"What are you doing?" Looking at the leader Gaara, Ke carefully observed his movements and analyzed the other party's intentions.
Gaara still held his hands and looked at Ke calmly.
"It seems that you are recovering well. However, your hair color has changed, and I almost didn't recognize you."
"Thank you for your attention." As he said that, Ke stared at the three people defensively, ready to take action at any time.
Kankuro carried the puppet he was playing with back behind him, took a step forward, and stared at Ke with a half-smiling expression.
"Hey, don't be nervous! We are not that kind of despicable people, we just want to make a bet with you."
"...What are you betting on?" Ke squeezed the kunai in his hand tighter.
"So, you agreed." A flash of excitement flashed at the corner of Gaara's mouth next to him, but he quickly restrained it.
"I'm just asking what you are betting on. Judging from your posture, it seems that you want to force me to submit. However, let me tell you frankly, even if the three of you are together, I will not be afraid of you."
"Tsk, these are really unpleasant words to hear." Kankuro's face twitched angrily, and he looked at the girl with murderous intent in his eyes.
Temari on the side also turned down the corners of her mouth, and she held the iron fan tighter.
"Kankuro, shut up. Also, you all put your weapons away...be careful I kill you."
"But she..." As soon as Kankuro uttered a few words, he saw Gaara's eyes filled with murderous intent, and for a long time he did not dare to utter another word.
After the two of them surrendered, Gaara looked at Uchiha with interest again.There was a rare fake smile on his lips.
"It's not what you think. This bet has the same interests for both of us. So, how about you listen?"
"Go ahead."
"I want to have a good fight with you. If I win, I ask you to return to the Kingdom of Wind with me. As for if you win, the three of us will give up our qualifications for the exam."
"But what does it have to do with me if you give up your qualifications for the exam?"
"You bastard!"
Feeling slighted, Temari picked up the iron fan and was about to explode, but Gaara stopped her with sand.
As the sand gushes out, there seems to be a strong smell of blood around them. Kankuro and Temari quickly cover their noses, their pupils shrink suddenly, as if they smell the breath of death.
Gaara remained silent, and the veins on his face slowly popped out, as if he was trying his best to endure the desire and anger to kill.
Gradually, his expression became ferocious, and combined with his eyebrowless eyes, he looked like a beast that had eaten human flesh.
Ke looked at Gaara expressionlessly.She was seen quickly forming seals, her body gleaming, and she showed no sign of weakness even to Gaara who was in a furious state.
"You're not stupid enough to scare me."
"No, I want to tell you that if you don't agree, this hospital may be littered with corpses. You don't want to see innocent people being involved."
"So, it's still a threat in the end. But...if you have to come, it's not impossible."
Hearing these words, Gaara slowly withdrew the bloody sand, his expression became normal, and he spoke provocative words one by one.
"Uchiha, you are really confident... I hope you won't kneel down and beg for mercy when the time comes."
"I also advise you not to speak out arrogant words easily."
"What an interesting guy. But, having said that, that's what I like about you."
Gaara sneered, turned around, made a gourd stopper with sand, and plugged the mouth of the bottle.
"See you at the martial arts arena in three days."
