Art Duo Arrives, a Surprise for Konoha

In the Forest of Death Chunin Ninja Exams, the atmosphere was as tense as a dinner table during a first blind date, where you're holding back a fart.

An elite squad of ninjas, including Rasa, Tsunade, Might Guy, and Kurenai Yuhi, rushed to the scene.

The ninjas who were desperately searching for the three-colored scrolls in the forest were initially delighted to see the arrival of this powerful team. However, they were soon taken aback by the team's serious expressions and began to murmur among themselves, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.

The elite team moved swiftly through the forest, an eerie silence pervading the surroundings, occasionally punctuated by the cries of unknown Beast, adding to the tension.

They bypassed dense bushes and crossed babbling streams, finally finding Uchiha Yu in an open area.

The three-man squad from Kirigakure lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly out of danger, but clearly incapacitated and groaning in pain.

As for who beat him up like that, that's hard to say.

Yakumo Kurama was pale and trembling slightly, like a frightened fawn, hiding behind Uchiha Yu, only showing half of his head, his eyes filled with fear.

She had just seen Uchiha Yu unleash his fists, repeatedly punching the Cerberus in the head until the creatures could no longer split, their bodies exploding from their heads, ending the battle.

Because his ferocious appearance was so terrifying, Yakumo Kurama didn't dare to look Uchiha Yu in the eye.

Tsunade strode forward, not even bothering to catch her breath, and hurriedly asked, "Yu, did you fight the ninja mentioned in the previous intelligence?"

Uchiha Yu remained calm, nodded slightly, and replied steadily, "Yes, the other party escaped. They are not easy to deal with."

Might Guy crossed his arms, looked at the scene before him, frowned slightly, and remarked, "It seems this battle is quite intense!"

Uchiha Yu was slightly stunned, Bruce Yu's voice echoing in his mind.

"Do you think Teacher Kai could kill Six Paths without any intelligence?"

Pirate World Fang Yu: "Kicking the Six Paths to death won't help. If Nagato doesn't die, it's all for nothing."

Bruce Yu was at home, pouring himself a cup of coffee. "When I was watching Ninja World Fang Yu fight the Animal Path just now, I felt that the Animal Path alone was as strong as a Pseudo-Kage, especially the Cerberus. If it weren't for our strong physique, it would be quite troublesome to deal with just one Cerberus."

Pirate World Fang Yu: "Could it be that the Butterfly Effect is caused by Ninja World Fang Yu? If Akatsuki had to carry a bag of rice up several floors in Konoha at this time, the series might have ended much earlier."

This statement was accepted by all of Fang Yu.

Kisame, Obito, Pain, Six Paths of Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Itachi, and possibly Deidara and Hidan.

If this group were to attack Konoha together, Uchiha Yu didn't think that Konoha, even with its current resources, could withstand it.

The worst part is that he can't run away.

Because once Konoha falls, the Kaguya Otsutsuki become nourishment for the God Tree will be even closer.

The Anbu collected chakra from the air and inquired about information related to Uchiha Yu. Before long, an old woman from the Inuzuka Clan came running over with her dog. "Lord Hokage, although we cannot track the direction of the airborne creature, judging from its scent, it has already left the Forest of Death."

Tsunade nodded and said to Rasa beside her, "In that case, Kazekage, let's go out and not let it affect the exam."

Rasa frowned. "With such an intrusion incident, should we still continue the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

Tsunade hesitated, her expression carrying a hint of pleading. "Kazekage, Konoha has put a lot of effort into hosting this Chunin Ninja Exams, and the Konoha of ninjas from other villages is also a huge expense. Therefore, before the situation gets completely out of control, the Chunin Exams should continue!"

Rasa nodded. "Yes, as the Kage of the village, you're right to think this through." He said to the Sand Ninja beside him, "Let's go."

Watching Rasa leave, Tsunade's expression instantly fell. "Give the order to find Jiraiya immediately, by any means necessary!"

"Yes!"

Nagato sat in the dimly lit base, his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed, recalling every detail of his battle with Uchiha Yu through the Animal Path's vision.

"Nagato, that Uchiha Yu's strength is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations," Konan broke the silence first, her voice gentle.

Nagato slowly opened his eyes, his Rinnegan gleaming with a mysterious light. He shook his head slightly and said, "His strength has not been fully revealed yet. I feel that he has only used less than a third of his power."

"Scorpion's previous intelligence proved this point; it was impossible for him to have grown to such a terrifying level in just one month."

Nagato continued, a hint of disdain in his eyes, "As for what Itachi said, I think it's just a matter of countering. That defensive technique is somewhat similar to the Shinra Tensei. As long as the opportunity is found, it can always be broken."

Konan nodded slightly, agreeing with Nagato's analysis. "Should we wait and see what happens? Wait until the major ninja villages finish their exams, and then take them down one by one?"

Nagato shook his head again, a ruthless look on his face. "No! The best approach is to wipe them all out in one fell swoop! This Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha has gathered the elites from all the major ninja villages, which is an excellent opportunity for us."

"I have already dispatched Sasori and the newly recruited Deidara to Konoha. This time, we will turn Konoha upside down and make them unable to concentrate on development."

Nagato's eyes flashed with a cold light, "The Nine-Tails will naturally be ours."

Konan frowned slightly. Although she was somewhat worried about the plan, she still chose to trust Nagato. "I hope everything will go as you expect, Nagato."

Nagato closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought again. The image of Konoha being destroyed appeared in his mind, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

If Uchiha Yu overheard their conversation, he would immediately start cursing.

Nagato, who has a brain, is on the same Nagato as Minato returned home and Healthy Itachi, or even a level above him.

Nagato reopened his eyes. "Come back! Come on, damn it!"

"Um."

Uchiha Yu waved his Ukaku and flew towards the tower where the scroll was handed over, accompanied by Yakumo Kurama.

The wind whistled in his ears, Yakumo Kurama held him tightly, his eyes filled with tension and unease.

Soon, the striking tower came into their view.

As they slowly descended to the foot of the tower, a cacophony of voices instantly filled their ears.

Ninjas from various villages gathered at the foot of the tower, and the scene was chaotic.

Some ninjas were on the verge of a fight, swords drawn, weapons tightly gripped, ready to attack at any moment.

Some stood back to back, forming a temporary alliance, watching the people around them warily.

Many ninjas lay sprawled on the ground, some unconscious, others groaning in pain, creating a very disheveled scene.

When everyone saw Uchiha Yu descend from the sky, they were first startled, subconsciously assuming that he had jumped from a great height. The trees in the Forest of Death could grow to a hundred meters tall, and no one would pay attention to what was happening a hundred meters above their heads unless they had something to do.

Upon seeing that Uchiha Yu possessed the Heaven Scroll, the others began to have designs on it.

In the Forest of Death, the competition is as fierce as a battlefield.

Although there are many participating teams, only ten Heaven Scroll were prepared in total, while more than forty teams participated in each event.

Such a stark contrast in numbers means that even if most teams turned the Forest of Death upside down, they would still find it difficult to collect all three scrolls to pass the exam.

Seeing Uchiha Yu holding the Heaven Scroll so openly, everyone's greed was instantly ignited, and they all had wicked thoughts.

Just as everyone was getting restless, Uchiha Yu noticed the hostile gazes around him.

His aura suddenly changed.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure surged from his body, like an invisible wave that swept across the entire arena!

The oppressive force was so strong that it was suffocating. The surrounding ninjas felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, their legs went weak, and they couldn't stand up at all.

Those ninjas who had originally intended to seize the scroll were now all pale-faced from the pressure and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Kabuto, who came in from the other side of the forest, was also affected by this sudden pressure.

He was cautiously observing the situation, hoping to take advantage of the situation, but he never expected to be directly defeated by this powerful force.

Kabuto lay on the ground, his heart filled with shock and resentment. He never imagined that Uchiha Yu would be so powerful.

For a moment, the area beneath the tower fell silent, save for the heavy breathing of the crowd.

Everyone stared at Uchiha Yu in horror, as if they were looking at a demon god from hell.

Uchiha Yu, as if picking up a plastic bottle at random, grabbed the Human Scroll and Earth Scroll that had rolled to the ground, swung his Ukaku, Yakumo Kurama in his arms!

He doesn't even have to climb the stairs?

This is absolutely incredible!

At the top of the tower, Mitarashi Anko, Baki, and a dark-skinned Iwagakure Ninja had arrived earlier were chatting casually.

Anko turned her head and saw Uchiha Yu flying outside the window, so frightened that she almost dropped the dumpling in her hand.

"Here you go," Yu said, tossing the three scrolls in one after another.

Baki's face was full of anger. "Kid! Is this how you hand in your paper?"

Uchiha Yu ignored Baki and asked Mitarashi Anko, "Does this mean we've both passed the test?"

Anko glanced at Uchiha Yu holding Yakumo Kurama: "Hmm! Passed!"

Baki kicked a scroll away. "Kid! Don't think you're so great just because you know this flying Ninjutsu! There are plenty of people in the Shinobi World who can fly!"

The scene changes.

Deidara, riding a large white clay bird, carried Sasori, who was hiding in the Hiruko, and the two soared through the Sky Manipulation of the Land of Fire.

Deidara, who had just joined Akatsuki, beamed with excitement. He turned to Sasori in Hiruko beside him and shouted, "Hey, old man, what kind of art do you think we'll create on this trip to Konoha? A big explosion?! Hmm!"

Scorpion sat atop the Hiruko, his figure concealed within the puppets. His voice emanated from within, carrying a hint of indifference. "Hmph, explosions are but a fleeting spectacle, soon to dissipate. How can they compare to my puppet art, Eternity and exquisite?"

Upon hearing this, Deidara immediately retorted indignantly, "What do you know! The moment of the explosion is so powerful that it reduces everything in the world to nothingness—that's true art! Yes! It's the ultimate fusion of power and beauty, a moment of splendor that everyone will remember!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms in the air, as if depicting the unparalleled explosion in his mind.

Scorpion scoffed disdainfully. "Only things that are Eternity have value. My puppet can be preserved for thousands of years. Every detail is the result of my hard work. Unlike your explosion, which is fleeting and leaves nothing behind."

Deidara curled his lip and retorted, "That's an old-fashioned idea! Art should be full of passion and explosive power! Like those Clay Bomb I made before, the whole world seemed to be lit up at the moment of the explosion. That kind of visual and Mind Stone impact is the true essence of art!"

Scorpion was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What you call the truth is nothing more than a child's pursuit of excitement. My puppet art can control life and death, and can imprison a person's soul within it. That is the true depth of art."

Deidara frowned, thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up. "How about this, old man, when we get to Konoha, you use your puppets to create chaos, and I'll use my explosions to finish it off. Let Konoha witness the perfect combination of our two different art forms. Maybe we can even create a brand new art form!"

Scorpion paused slightly, seemingly considering the suggestion, and after a moment said, "It's worth a try, but don't mess it up."

Deidara laughed excitedly, "Don't worry! This will definitely be an artistic feast that will shock the entire Shinobi World! Everyone will remember my name then!"

As he spoke, he patted the clay bird, increased its flight speed, and prepared to deliver a big blow to Konoha.

Feeling threatened by Nagato, Uchiha Yu emerged from the Forest of Death and wandered the streets and alleys of Konoha, fully activating his Observation Haki, silently searching for someone's whereabouts.

He was also planning to give Konoha a big surprise.
