"Okay!" Senju Harumi replied.
Her strength was already among the top of the six, and after recently learning the Nintaijutsu, she became even stronger.
Shimei stayed with Uka because he wanted to end things as soon as possible and help Uka share some of the burden.
"Brother, let's go!" Seeing that everyone had made arrangements, Aburame Kaun put his arm around Inuzuka Sawa's shoulder and walked towards the other side of the arena.
Seeing the two's actions, Hatake Bunkei also followed with Aburame Yoshino.
After the group of friends parted ways, Uka Senju led them to the nearest arena.
He directed the two women and one man who went up first, saying, " Ten'in, you're third; Kafumi, fourth; Furin, fifth."
"I'll be watching from below. If they come and you can't defeat them, don't be reckless."
"Although there's Medical Treatment Team, injuries can still significantly impact subsequent battles!"
"Okay!" After nodding in unison, the three of them walked towards their respective arenas.
Right corner of Training Ground No. 10.
The students from the Sarutobi clans were all sitting around their respective leaders.
After seeing the movements of Uka Senju and the others.
A female member of the tribe, who Utatane, said to the group, "Except for Uka, everyone else is being one-on-one. What should we do?"
They were mortal enemies from the start.
Even without the Wood Release incident, they were still planning to ambush Uka and the others.
Now, with this unexpected situation of confrontation between the two sides, their targeting becomes even more justifiable.
In particular, Uka Senju's decision to specifically participate in the competition made it impossible for them not to target her.
After all, most of the villagers in Konoha have only heard of Wood Release, but have never seen it in person.
Therefore, in the eyes of the various clans, Wood Release's sudden participation in this assessment was to establish his authority.
The Senju faction of the Ninja Academy will begin recruiting next year.
If we could defeat the Wood Release now.
This dispelled the villagers' various speculations about the power of Wood Release.
Furthermore, this behavior will also severely damage the reputation of the Senju.
Therefore, the Clan of these individuals also offered benefits for winning the competition.
Driven by self-interest and old grudges, they are actively preparing and formulating various plans.
Because if they succeed, each company will receive a reward.
For those who aren't part of the direct line, that's enough for them to reach the Jonin!
After speaking, the female clanswoman Utatane looked anxiously at Sarutobi Gensei, who was at the head of the group.
The reward from her family was a summoning beast contract Scroll, which was only available to members of the Clan head's lineage and high-ranking Jonin.
This item is a treasure that can greatly improve her survival rate, especially since she is still Genin.
Therefore, she was extremely eager to get her hands on this precious item immediately.
Sensing the eagerness and fervor in everyone's eyes, Sarutobi Gensei sighed inwardly.
He had already fought against Wood Release Wood Release school started, so he had a rough estimate of their strength.
In his view, success this time depended on the Uchiha member standing to the side.
These guys alone probably wouldn't even be able to get past their teammates.
However, the reward is given to anyone who wins, and there is no restriction on who can win.
Thinking of the Summoning Contract Enma Clan Clan.
A hint of longing also rose in Sarutobi Gensei's eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at everyone and said, " Genwa, Genshi, you two take Utatane Futsu and go keep an eye on the Mole. Make your move when they're about to advance. It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, just hold them off."
" Shimura Sora, you go and keep an eye on Senju Harumi. Your goal is the same as Genwa's and the others'."
" Shimura Kaze, Mitokado I, Utatane Akino, and I will go find Uka Senju."
"Yes, it's *X!" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately headed towards their target.
Only three people remained, waiting for Sarutobi Gensei move.
Seeing everyone leave, he waved to the three of them.
Sarutobi Gensei immediately led them to find a powerful figure.
A moment later, the group passed through the area where many Commoners Ninja were located.
I walked to a small corner on the right.
Looking at the three Uchiha, who stood alone, with no Commoners or Shinobi Clan around them.
He smiled and nodded to the three of them in greeting.
Sarutobi Gensei addressed the Uchiha boy dressed in a ping-pong paddle at the head of the group. " Yashiro, are you interested in defeating Wood Release?"
"Have."
"How about we work together once?"
"To cooperate with you?"
The Uchiha Yashiro, with black hair, black eyes, and dressed in black clothes and pants, slightly raised his chin.
He looked at the four people opposite him with disdain and said, "Besides you and that woman, what use are the other two?"
"I'll defeat Wood Release myself. Do you want to cooperate with me?"
"Heh~!"
Hearing that last laugh, full of mockery.
The four of them immediately blushed.
Utatane Akino stepped forward, about to speak, but was stopped by Sarutobi Gensei, who was in the lead.
After stopping his friend, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes as he looked at the arrogant Uchiha opposite him.
But then I thought about the reward, and the purpose of this trip.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "Didn't your family tell you?"
"Heh~!"
"If it weren't for the Clan's request, would I be talking to you?" After saying this in a calm tone, Uchiha Yashiro still pointed his chin at the group.
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Gensei clenched his fists involuntarily.
He suddenly wants to throw away all those so-called benefits and rewards.
Then he punched the other person's chin hard a few times.
He came here to discuss cooperation, not to surrender.
Even surrendering doesn't deserve such humiliation!
Seeing the scene freeze, the female Uchiha behind the Yashiro Hokage tugged at her clanswoman who was still about to speak.
She smiled apologetically at Sarutobi Gensei and the other three, and said softly, "The clan has given instructions, so we will make our move at the appropriate time."
After saying this, she pointed to the two arenas in front of her and said, "For example, the ones over here with Aburame and Hatake, Uchiha Hitomi will be watching with your people."
"As for Uka Senju, Yashiro and I will be going there too, so just proceed according to your plan."
Looking at Uchiha Maiko, who also had black hair, black eyes, wore black clothes and black pants, and carried a ping-pong paddle.
Listening to her gentle voice and kind smile.
Reason once again prevailed in Sarutobi Gensei's mind.
Looking at the three Uchiha.
He cursed them all in his mind before saying, "Alright, let's get started. You guys wait for your chance!"
After he finished speaking, he and Uchiha Maiko nodded to each other in farewell.
Then, he led his three followers toward the Earth Flow where Uka Senju was on the left.
Stand between arenas number four and five on the left.
After watching their three teammates swiftly and decisively eliminate several challengers...
Uka Senju then noticed that the enemies who had gathered together earlier had dispersed.
