The farce ended once the Konoha Jonin arrived.
The Hidden Cloud squad leader berated his subordinate and exchanged a few meaningless words with Minato before they left, heading to the barbecue joint!
No seats?
A table was cleared by the server after that strange black-haired youth appeared.
However.
Uchiha Fuyou?
Was this a member of the Uchiha clan without ninja talent going into business?
But after the intelligence gathering just now, they understood what those banner ads were all about.
To be able to advertise at such a crucial time… that guy was no ordinary person either~
Could it be that he was using the Uchiha clan's name?
As expected.
Ninja families doing business like this was simply not their proper occupation!
Even the prestigious Konoha – the Uchiha clan – had fallen. It seemed Konoha had become arrogant after winning the Ninja World Wars twice and had learned to indulge in pleasure.
This time…
Perhaps it was truly their Hidden Cloud Village's opportunity!!!
After all, ever since they were defeated by Konoha multiple times, their great Raikage had begun to govern diligently, secretly developing the ninja village and strengthening the training of their shinobi.
With Konoha declining and them rising… their Hidden Cloud shinobi were bound to win!
"Minato Namikaze~" the Hidden Cloud leader murmured with a solemn expression, "What incredible speed!"
Just now.
He hadn't noticed Minato Namikaze's appearance at all. Rumor had it that a Konoha shinobi had learned the Second Hokage's Space-Time Ninjutsu, and his name was… Minato Namikaze!
And that Uchiha brat was his student…
Judging by the expressions of the Hokage's son and the other Konoha shinobi just now, that Uchiha brat must have mastered a very terrifying ninjutsu, or his strength was truly extraordinary. However, judging by his fight with Amui and Yugito Nii just now… he seemed quite ordinary.
Why was that?
Was he hiding his strength?
Or was he a ninjutsu prodigy?
Although the Hidden Cloud leader didn't know if his guess was correct, there was no doubt… Konoha had produced another genius shinobi!
After all, just now… Minato Namikaze was also looking at his subordinates with a solemn expression, as if something terrible would happen if he used that ninjutsu.
That scene was too abnormal!
Even the Jonin looked solemn!
A genius!
He was definitely an extraordinary genius.
Coupled with the descendant of the renowned Hatake clan – Kakashi Hatake – and the Hokage's son.
Konoha truly lived up to its reputation as a cradle of geniuses!
It seemed that for this Chunin Exams, Konoha had also decided to showcase its strength and Konoha's future in front of the other ninja villages.
After analyzing the intelligence gathered so far.
The Hidden Cloud leader's expression became uncertain, and finally, he sighed with a hint of melancholy, shaking his head in admiration, "Konoha… truly lives up to its reputation as a cradle of geniuses!"
"Hmph! What genius?" Amui beside him scoffed dismissively, "With that strength, he's a genius? Don't be ridiculous. Is this all Konoha shinobi are capable of? Just boasting about themselves."
As he spoke.
"Shut up!"
The Hidden Cloud leader berated him, looking sternly at Amui and then at the other disdainful Hidden Cloud shinobi behind him, frowning slightly, "Do you all think the same?"
"Teacher Gray, isn't that right?" Amui asked, looking at his teacher who had suddenly become serious, "Even that ninja they feared the most, I just kicked him away. As for the others… hehe."
"If you all think that way, you'll suffer greatly later! Foolish!" The Hidden Cloud leader sneered. Seeing his stunned subordinates, he took a deep breath and continued with a solemn tone, "Do you remember that Konoha Jonin just now? When the Uchiha brat was about to use his ninjutsu, even the Konoha Jonin looked extremely serious! Therefore, that brat is definitely hiding a very terrifying ninjutsu!"
"?!" At this moment, the Hidden Cloud genin snapped back to reality, recalling that scene… those Konoha shinobi did seem very afraid of the brat using some ninjutsu.
Could it be…
He was truly hiding his strength?!
Amui also frowned, because at that moment, he seemed to remember those scarlet eyes.
At that time.
He also felt a sense of fear!
His back felt a chill.
As if something terrible was about to happen.
Thinking of this, Amui muttered to herself in a daze, "What kind of terrifying ninjutsu could it be?"
"We don't have enough intel, even the teacher doesn't know," the Hidden Cloud ninja leader shook his head. He then looked at his subordinate, who had just figured something out, with a solemn expression and said earnestly, "But there's no doubt it's a very terrifying ninjutsu, at least A-rank, or even a forbidden jutsu!"
To learn such a terrifying ninjutsu at that age, there was no question!
"He's definitely a genius!"
"Then Teacher... what about us?" The genin participating in the exam also became serious.
"Don't worry," seeing his subordinates' apparent concern, the Hidden Cloud ninja leader smiled and reassured them. "Now that we're aware of it, he can't catch us off guard anymore. Konoha's geniuses... are being watched by many ninja villages. Tomorrow, you'll strike first, attack together, and don't give him a chance to use his ninjutsu. If you get the chance..." a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Kill him!"
A genius?
Only a genius who survives is a true genius!
And they had a secret weapon!
The Hidden Cloud ninja leader glanced at the tea-haired girl, then gazed deeply at the brazier in front of him and murmured, Konoha's genius... Uchiha Obito?
"Obito, you... awakened your Sharingan?" Minato looked at Obito with relief.
He really did seem much more composed.
Was it because he had grown up?
However.
"Didn't I tell you not to use that ninjutsu unless there was danger?" Minato looked at Obito sternly. "Why did you use it again?"
With so many people watching, and ninjas from other villages too... If you actually used it, especially against a Hidden Cloud female ninja... do you know how serious the consequences would be?
However.
Obito fell silent, offering no explanation or answer.
At that moment.
He just wanted to win!
If he were a genius like Kakashi... would Rin go for milk tea with him?
No! I'm different now!
He became resolute again, recalling a philosophical saying in his mind. But soon after, he remembered Rin's sweet smile, and his whole being became conflicted.
Women? Ninjutsu?
He started to feel lost. Was it truly that his resolve wasn't strong enough?
But this appearance... in the eyes of others, it seemed exceptionally conflicted and helpless. Even Minato, who had intended to lecture him, softened his heart and said gently, "Obito, are you in some kind of trouble? If you can't solve it, tell me, and your teacher will help you!"
"That's right, Obito!" Rin also held Obito's hand and said earnestly, "If you have any worries, please tell us. We will help you."
This caring demeanor made Obito even more conflicted. At that moment... the resolve brought by the Sharingan seemed to be fading. Rin really does care about me. His heart warmed, and he let out a silly grin. Just as he was about to confess, "Rin, I..."
Before he could finish speaking.
"Slap!"
He was suddenly hit on the back of the head.
The voice of that detestable guy suddenly appeared, "Why are you being so sentimental at such a young age? If you're feeling down, Dad will take you out to have fun! If that doesn't work, your teacher Minato is also an old flame... an old regular, let him take you to relax!"
Uchiha's psychological issues really need attention~
Such a good, simple kid, only one tomoe, and already acting so profound?
Unbelievable!
After he spoke.
"..."
Seeing everyone staring at him in silence, Minato chuckled awkwardly, "Fuyou is joking, I don't know anything."
And Obito...
"Aaaargh! You bastard, it took me so much effort to make up my mind!"
The familiar Obito returned.
He scratched his hair in frustration, glaring at Uchiha Fuyou. I'll remember this! The day I become Hokage will be the day you go bankrupt!
