When Ueno Kei appeared, everyone present noticed it.
Chiyo and Ebizo naturally looked puzzled. After all, these two people had been out of business for many years. Ueno Kei's reputation only emerged in the past few years, so naturally they were not known to them.
Naruto Kazuma had a happy face, Naruto was happy to see Ueno Kei, and Baki was excited that Konoha actually sent out the great master Ueno Kei!
"Brother Qi! Why are you here!" Naruto asked in surprise! Although Naruto still had his own Gaara taken away, which made Naruto very worried and angry. However, the arrival of Ueno Kei diluted the worry and anger, because Naruto believed that as long as Brother Qi came, there would be nothing that could not be solved!
Gaara can definitely be rescued! It's not that Kakashi is unreliable in Naruto's heart, but that Naruto has been staying with Ueno Kei since then, and Ueno Kei is the first person among his peers to recognize, care for, and accompany his existence.
Naturally, among the entire Konoha, who Naruto trusts and relies on the most is definitely Ueno Kei.
"Who is this Konoha Ninja?" Chiyo on the side saw a hint of joy flash across Baki's face, but it was not clear yet, the person coming was Baki must have a very important position in his heart, but Chiyo has indeed never heard of any famous person among Konoha who can match the number of Ueno Kei in front of him.
Naturally, Chiyo subconsciously ignored Ueno Kei's young face. After all, Tsunade was also very young. Chiyo just thought that Ueno Kei took good care of himself.
Naturally, I asked Baki on the side.
"Chiyo Mother-in-law, this is Anbu minister of Konoha, Mr. Third Hokage's close disciple, Ueno Kei!" Baki bowed and said respectfully to Chiyo, no matter what, Chiyo's status among Sunagakure is still quite high.
"Third Hokage That old man's closed disciple? Konoha Anbu Minister?" Chiyo showed a look of surprise on his face. To be honest, Chiyo really didn't expect that the boy in front of him, well, now it can be confirmed that he is a boy, because Because, since he is a closed disciple of Third Hokage and does not appear among Third Shinobi World War, then there is no doubt that the young face now is the true age of Ueno Kei.
Chiyo knows very well what kind of person Third Hokage is. As a contemporary of Third Hokage, Chiyo knows very well what Third Hokage represented in that era, and that was the strongest synonym for it!
Whether it is the so-called strongest Third Raikage, or Third Tsuchikage, or Second Kazekage, or Third Mizukage, none of them are Third Hokage's opponent, who has gone through World War I and World War II, Third Shinobi World War, is the successor that First Hokage is optimistic about. The disciple accepted by the man named Shinobi Hero cannot be an ordinary person.
Sannin is the best proof!
And since Ueno Kei could be accepted as a closed disciple by Third Hokage, Chiyo glanced at Ueno Kei thoughtfully, and could somewhat understand Baki's happy face. However, in Chiyo's heart, helplessness, disappointment, and sadness could not be suppressed.
His own village was in such a state of decline that he had to ask other ninja villages to rescue his Kage. This was a silent and huge blow to the old man who had devoted his life to making Sunagakure the strongest village.
The death of his son and daughter-in-law has been an eternal pain in Chiyo's heart. His grandson's betrayal of the village has made Chiyo disheartened. Sunagakure's family has become increasingly dilapidated, making Chiyo's already desperate heart even colder.
This time, if she hadn't heard the news that she had her grandson, Chiyo would never have come out, because she felt that she had nothing to worry about except her grandson, even Sunagakure, Chiyo...
"Chiyo Mother-in-law, Hai Lao!" After a few words with Naruto, Ueno Kei walked over, paused, and greeted Chiyo politely.
No matter what, Chiyo and Ebizo are Ninja World's predecessors to Ueno Kei, and now Sand Ninja can be considered an ally of Konoha, so Ueno Kei still shows some respect. After all, he is not an enemy, right?
When facing Third Tsuchikage, Ueno Kei was not so polite.
That is a situation where you must die. In that situation, there is no difference between senior and senior, only victory and defeat!
"Oh, Qijun, I don't mind calling you that. Konoha is really talented. I heard that you are Sarutobi's disciple?" Ebizo just nodded lightly and did not respond, while Chiyo showed a smile and said lightly, with a look of interest in Ueno Kei revealed in his eyes.
"Yes, I am valued by the teacher and accepted as a disciple!" Ueno Kei said, still maintaining a respectful smile.
After all, the old woman in front of me was also a great person back then. To be fair, the era of Third Hokage was the most tense era of Ninja World. It can be called the most prosperous era of Ninja World, because each village has its representative figures and has the existence or means to compete with other ninja villages.
Although Konoha is strong, it is not dominant. Even in every war, Konoha fights on two or even three fronts, and has won all three wars. However, that is just a theory of results.
In that era, Five Great Shinobi Villages was a well-deserved Five Great Shinobi Villages. It was impossible for any other force or Ninja Village to challenge the existence of Five Great Shinobi Villages. Only the same Five Great Shinobi Villages could compete with it!
How is it like now? Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is not so strong that he can continue to serve as Tsuchikage. It is better that he has no successor and cannot find a suitable successor. Kirigakure is better, but years of terror policies have made Kirigakure developed somewhat abnormally. The large number of persecutions of the Bloodstained Boundary family in the village also greatly damaged Kirigakure's strength. Under the current reforms of Fifth Mizukage, it has slowly begun to recover. Otherwise, it would not have easily retreated from the Land of Waves incident three years ago.
Not to mention Sunagakure, the first two still have the strength and power of the five major villages, but Sunagakure is simply not too shabby.
Now the only Ninja village that can challenge Konoha alone is probably Cloud Ninja. The other Three Great Shinobi Villages and Ueno Kei can only spread their hands to express hehe.
Therefore, although Ueno Kei looks down on the current Sunagakure, he still has considerable regard for these older generations! Whether it means their qualifications or what is hidden behind them.
"This time, Princess Tsunade actually sent an important person like you here. He really values our Sand Ninja allies." Chiyo said with a hint of meaning, but there was a hint of irony in both words.
Just now, Baki has briefly introduced Ueno Kei to Chiyo. Naturally, Chiyo is also aware of Ueno Kei's strength and position among Konoha and Ninja World.
Regarding Chiyo's words, Ueno Kei smiled noncommittally and didn't take it seriously. (To be continued.
