It happened to be at the same moment.
In a dark area somewhere in Konoha.
Yakushi Kabuto, who had a harmless expression during the day, now appeared in this area far away from the center, with a stern expression on his face. Suddenly, Yakushi Kabuto, who seemed to sense something, turned around and looked at the deeper passage on the other side, where a slender figure walked directly out from the inside.
The moment I saw the person coming.
Yakushi Kabuto immediately knelt down on one knee with a respectful look on his face.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
That's right, the person who came here is none other than Sannin, the direct disciple of Third Hokage, now Konoha S level traitor, the founder of Otogakure - Orochimaru!
"How's it going? Is the matter settled?"
Orochimaru walked out lightly, with that familiar pale face and slightly hoarse words as he finished speaking.
Yakushi Kabuto The respectful look on his face became more intense.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, the preliminary contact has been completed, and the plan has been exchanged with Sand Ninja. One-Tail Jinchuriki has officially entered Chunin Selection Exams and will explode directly within the scheduled time."
"Very well, what about the other side?"
Orochimaru smiled softly and said with a somewhat satisfied look.
"Yes, from the intelligence collected before, it can be determined that Sasuke Uchiha has activated Sharingan. It also used Sharingan at the beginning of the first round, and it has now activated Two-Tomoe."
Yakushi Kabuto still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee and replied in a calm tone.
"Two-Tomoe? It is true that compared with his brother, there is still a little gap, but it is enough for now. It is not worthwhile for me to come here."
Orochimaru smiled coldly and said as if pointing.
"Just execute the rest according to the established plan, Kabuto, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
Yakushi Kabuto responded in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards.
After Orochimaru waved his hand.
Yakushi Kabuto disappeared in one fell swoop.
"Sharingan? Hum, I will get you soon! But before that, old man, I will come and send you to hell right away!"
Orochimaru raised his head slightly and looked at the crescent moon high in the sky, which seemed to be faintly showing a trace of blood. Orochimaru licked his lips, and an extremely sinister smile appeared in his pupils.
At the same time.
Konoha, Hokage Office Building.
"There are signs of outsiders entering and leaving the village, right?"
Third Hokage The slightly rickety figure stood in front of the window, with a strange color flashing in his cloudy eyes, and said softly.
"Yes, Third Generation-sama."
In front of you.
Three Ninja wearing animal masks and Konoha Anbu uniforms knelt on one knee in front of Third Hokage, and the Anbu in the center said in a deep voice.
"Strengthen personnel guarding at the enchantment points. During the exam, Anbu will investigate in a small team mode at intervals. If you find anyone acting suspiciously, you can take action directly!"
Third Hokage turned around, looked at the three Hokage directly subordinate to Anbu in front of him, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards.
Under the instruction of Third Hokage.
The three Anbu figures each straightened up and disappeared directly on the spot.
"It seems that this Chunin selection is not very peaceful..."
Third Hokage took a deep drag on his pipe, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and said quietly.
The turbulent Chunin Selection Exams.
All forces have their own arrangements.
At the same time.
Naruto is in the apartment where he lives.
When falling asleep at night.
Naruto once again sank his consciousness into the spiritual world.
"Hmph!"
Illusory spiritual existence.
The moment it senses the appearance of Naruto.
Kurama, who was resting with his eyes closed, also snorted softly.
"Hey, Kurama, long time no see! Are you doing well recently?"
Open fox eyes.
What caught his eye was Naruto's smiling face that made Kurama feel unhappy.
Be reasonable.
Since the last initial situation.
Kurama always thought that Naruto would come in in the near future and have a more in-depth communication with him. After all, the name Naruto said before he left really made Kurama is extremely concerned, even though Kurama knows that the kid in front of him is a very special existence (this is the first time Kurama has seen a baby with independent consciousness since birth in the thousands of years he has been alive.)
But Naruto was called before he left last time.
But it made Kurama extremely concerned.
It's not just a matter of name.
It's information that should not be known to the general public.
Speaking from a kid who was only 12 years old and left the village for the first time in his life, this is something that is enough to shock Kurama. Because of this, Kurama has been waiting for Naruto to come in for the second time, but this wait is more than a month!
If it weren't for losing face.
Kurama himself wants to contact Naruto directly.
And even though I don't want to admit it.
The moment I saw Naruto today.
Kurama Although he felt unhappy, there was also a trace of conflicting emotions of joy.
However, the arrogant Uncle Fox still responded with a cold snort.
Naruto doesn't seem to mind at all.
Since that day's conversation.
Naruto found that there were no restrictions on how he used Nine-Tails Chakra. Naruto knew that the big fox named Kurama in front of him had already initially accepted him. As long as the first level was overcome, the next thing would be relatively simple and easy.
Rely on your familiarity with the plot.
Fooling a mere fox.
Ahem.
No.
Isn't it easy to persuade Kurama?
Of course, the most important point is that, as Naruto said before, at this stage, the transaction between Naruto and Kurama will not harm the interests of Kurama. Even if Naruto is really a white wolf, Kurama really has no loss?
Dying together and waiting for resurrection, Kurama is not so boring. During the thousands of years of survival, Kurama has had the experience of being killed and waiting for chakra to be resurrected. Such an experience, he is not willing to do it again.
And what Naruto calls complete freedom, Kurama also yearns for it!
To put it bluntly, the worst outcome is to get nothing, and it won't be worse than it is now. Kurama has no reason not to cooperate.
Naruto can pinch this.
You can take the initiative in negotiating with Kurama.
Besides, the most important point is.
Naruto is not deceiving Kurama.
But really willing to do it.
This is also a particularly critical point.
Kurama, who seemed to want nothing to do with him.
Naruto smiled lightly but didn't take it seriously.
"Kurama, I entered today because I want to take off the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style talisman on it!"
These words were spoken directly.
Kurama, who had closed his eyes again to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. Anyone who was not a fool could see the gaze that was looking directly at Naruto. The shock and incomprehension in Kurama's eyes at this moment.
Huh?
What?
Unlock the seal?
Now?
