From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 227 Orochimaru's Preparation
Just the first glance at the dark-skinned boy opposite, Kakashi's expression couldn't help but become solemn. His palm subconsciously fell on the ninja tool bag behind him. His eyes always stayed on the seven swords behind the other party, and his peripheral vision was paying attention to the two girls behind the other party.

However, Killer Bee seemed to completely ignore this white-haired boy who was a few years younger than him and looked like nothing special. Instead, he stared at Uchiha Obito, who was looking so aggressive and had the red and white round fan clan emblem behind him.

"Yo! Red eyes, yo! Uchiha!"

"You're just a half-grown ghost, and your hair hasn't even grown out yet, and you want to fight me?"

Although the other party's voice was difficult to hear because of the strange noises of B-BOX, they could clearly see the contemptuous look from behind his sunglasses.

Uchiha Obito was not a person who could be easily provoked. He was furious. His dark eyes under the goggles suddenly turned scarlet. The dark jade swam in his pupils like a fish. He stared at the tall, dark-skinned boy in front of him.
"How dare a fellow like you look down on us Uchiha?"

The spirit of young people is always to draw swords and fight for their lives after just a few words.

Just a disagreement is enough reason for the two sides to start fighting.

Without any hesitation, in just a moment after the words fell, Uchiha Obito's right index finger had already hooked the kunai at his waist, and his fingertips rotated in a circle. The black blade of the steel kunai drew an elegant semicircle in the air, and his figure had already shot towards Killer Bee.

The target was directly aimed at the dark-skinned boy opposite.

However, faced with such a situation, neither Yuuki and Samui beside Killer Bee, nor Kakashi and Rin on Obito's side, had any intention of taking action.

Both sides almost simultaneously stared at each other's teammates, while also paying part of their attention to the battle between the two.

Obviously, Kakashi wasn't the only one who wanted to get some information about the 'enemy' before the Chunin Exams began.

Noticing Uchiha Obito rushing out, Killer Bee's mature face suddenly broke into an excited smile.

Amid the whistling of the wind, he had already grasped the two handleless daggers at his waist and behind his back with both hands. He threw one forward like a dart, and held the other firmly in front of him like a shield.

Although Uchiha Obito has a reckless and impulsive personality, he, like Kakashi, has received a complete six-year basic ninja education and has gained all the necessary experience. After going through the mission training during this period, he has made great progress in actual combat.

The pair of scarlet two-magatama Sharingans reflected the short sword flying out like a wheel. While the kunai in one hand was pointing forward, the other hand took out several shurikens from the ninja tool bag, and threw them in a sharp arc with the extremely standard Uchiha throwing method, surrounding Killer Bee's figure like flying wings.

Then, the kunai in his hand blocked the spinning dagger in front of him, making a crisp "ding" sound of metal collision, and swept into the air while spinning.

At the same time, his mind was quickly simulating the other party's possible reactions after being attacked.

'When facing a ninja who uses the flanking throw method for the first time, the first reaction is to dodge and jump, so just.'

Uchiha Obito habitually speculated on the opponent's response method based on past experience, but suddenly Kakashi's reminder came to his ears:
"Watch out! Obito!"

Almost at the moment of hearing the voice, Obito's scarlet eyes, which were holding the spinning dagger in mid-air, almost subconsciously swept forward.

The next moment, Kirabi's dark face, which had grown from a fifteen-year-old to a thirty-year-old, immediately squeezed into the center of his field of vision.

'How come. So fast?!'

Uchiha Obito was suddenly startled, and the scene reflected in his Sharingan was immediately divided into dozens of scenes in units of frames like a slow motion.

This slice-like vision clearly reflects the opponent's series of actions of drawing the sword, stepping forward, and slashing.

Obito's forward movement suddenly stopped, and he turned the kunai in his hand over to block the opponent's blade.

However, when the kunai blocked the opponent's blade, only a light cotton-like touch came from the palm of his hand.

Looking at the other party's actions, Obito's eyes suddenly widened.

'Let go?'

'wrong! ’

He reacted suddenly.

The inertia brought by the short knife's chop on the tip of the kunai caused it to begin to spin into a circle under the force of gravity, turning into a dangerous steel flower in mid-air.

Kirabi on the opposite side had already taken advantage of the brief period of time when he raised his hand to block, and completed his reaction of moving forward and drawing his sword.

The blades swung up and down and back and forth, reflected in Uchiha Obito's eyes, like two whistling steel whips, crossing like scissors and tearing towards his waist and abdomen.

In just a moment, Obito relied on the foresight of the Sharingan to step back.

The diffused chakra and the instinctive "shaving" allowed him to create a distance of more than three meters between him and Kirabi in this extremely short period of time.

But before he could regroup, the image reflected in his Sharingan made him even more horrified.

'You let go again!'

In this slow-motion perspective, Uchiha Obito clearly saw the other party chopping the sword, letting go, raising his head to hold the hilt, stepping forward with both hands, and continuing to reach out to draw the sword.

With superb physical skills, nerve reaction speed that can even be compared to the Sharingan, and extremely skilled swordsmanship.

In just a few steps forward, Kirabi managed to pull out seven daggers.

The seven sword attacks were continuous. Before the previous blade thrown in the air fell to the ground, the next one had already followed. At the same time, his way of holding the sword was completely unconventional.

Hold with mouth, clamp with neck, clamp with elbow, hold with hand, lift with knee, kick with foot.
With just simple body movements and the coordination of the dagger, the young man in front of him easily turned into an iron hedgehog that was impervious to water and fire in front of Uchiha Obito.

Every corner of his body seemed to have turned into a steel blade. With just the simplest step forward, he forced Uchiha Obito in front of him to step back, exhausted from dealing with the situation.

At this moment, Uchiha Obito felt extremely depressed.

The Sharingan given to him by the bloodline clearly allowed him to see Killer Bee's every move, but his nerve reactions and body speed were out of sync with his eyes that were like high-speed cameras, and every movement he made was one beat behind the opponent.

In just three or two seconds, his shoulder, elbow, and thigh were cut several times, leaving scarlet marks.

The slight tingling sensation that continued to spread all over his body made the already hot-tempered Uchiha Obito's rage even stronger, and the chakra in his body seemed to boil like flames.

“Asshole——!!!”

It wasn't until he was stabbed in the shoulder again that Obito finally couldn't control the impulsiveness in his heart.

He looked so desperate, as if he totally ignored the blade pointing at his arm. Even at the risk of getting stabbed in the body, he was determined to stab the kunai in his hand into the abdomen of the big black man.

But seeing his performance, the two wooden men behind Kirabi couldn't help but frown.

"Seven Sword Styles! The Wild Heron Sword!"

Before she could open her mouth to remind him, Kirabi's daggers had already started spinning like a top, slashing towards the young man in front of him.

"boom!"

However, the seemingly impulsive figure suddenly turned into a substitute wood that was chopped into multiple pieces.

Kirabi's figure seemed to pause for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a teasing voice was heard from behind.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge, rapidly expanding fireball burst out of the young man's mouth, and the surging chakra covered the area of ​​several meters in front of him in one breath.

In Obito's scarlet eyes, there was still a lingering trace of Killer Bee's last somewhat puzzled look, which made the pride on his face even more obvious.

You little brat! Who are you looking down on?

Do you really think I'm the kind of idiot who gets carried away by the slightest provocation?

This move is his real killer!

However, just when Obito's pride was about to overflow.

However, Hatake Kakashi keenly noticed that the two Kumogakure girls opposite him didn't even move a step.

His heart suddenly tightened.

as predicted.

"boom!"

The piercing roar of the wind suddenly sounded, shaking the eardrums of those around them.

Amidst the thunder and wind, there was Kirabi's sturdy figure, which was much taller than an ordinary person. The surfaces of the seven blades were all wrapped in a faint flash of lightning.

The surging flames were easily torn apart in front of the young man, cutting out a vacuum channel.

The target was directly aimed at Obito who was still in the spouting state.

A hideous smile appeared on Kirabi's face.

The blade in his hand spins.

Relying on the instinctive experience gained from countless battles, Uchiha Obito subconsciously raised his kunai in both hands and used the armor on his wrists to block. The air immediately burst into a "ding ding ding" sound of metal clashing and bright flames. Before he could dissipate the heavy thrust, a thick thigh suddenly broke through his arms like a spear and penetrated him horizontally.

"boom--!"

The dull sound and violent impact poured into Obito's brain, causing his eyes to go dark.

The short figure rolled over and slammed hard into the wall behind him, making a dull thud.

Obito!

Hatake Kakashi frowned, and his body shot out quickly, suddenly standing in front of both sides.

No matter how much they didn't get along with each other, this guy was still his teammate.

"Zheng!"

The red fang that Sawara Kiri gave him was unsheathed, and a faint glow of fire flickered on the dark red blade, bringing out an extraordinary edge.

"Ugh—uh, cough, cough."

Behind him he heard a series of coughing and exhaling sounds from Obito, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Obito, how is it?" Kakashi asked in a low voice.

"This bastard, I must kill him!"

If Uchiha Obito were stuffed into the crematorium alive at this moment, what would be left would definitely be that incredibly hard mouth.

However, Kakashi's gaze did not linger on his heart for too long at this time.

He and Kirabi in front of him stopped almost at the same time and looked towards the high wall on the other side.

Appearing in their field of vision were three Genin who were about the same age as them, with Iwagakure forehead protectors hanging on their bodies.

The leader among them was a tall young man wearing a red bamboo hat and his entire body covered in bamboo armor.

Almost the moment he appeared, Kakashi and Killer Bee couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear in their eyes.

They all felt an unusually strong chakra reaction just now.

This guy is a Jinchūriki.

"Before the assessment begins."

"Please pay attention to your behavior."

The young man, covered in red bamboo armor, had a hoarse voice that was unique to teenagers in the voice change period, but his tone was controlled in a serious manner.

"Everyone, please gather at Iwagakure. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Hearing his words, Hatake Kakashi held down the Red Fang in his hand, but turned his eyes to the Kumogakure Kuropi in front of him.

Kirabi had a disdainful smile on his face, and continued with the strange B-BOX he was talking about before, singing a sarcastic song:

"Yo!"

"Stubborn Yanyin, inflexible!"

"Konoha is a weakling, strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"

"I'll make you suffer in the Chunin Exam!"

“Puff, puff, bang—”

Listening to the meaningless ventriloquism that followed, Kakashi Hatake's expression gradually turned cold, while Killer Bee's provocative look became more intense.

However, the confrontation between the two was interrupted by Han's plain words:
"You idiot, do you really want to kill their ninja outside the examination hall right under Lord Sawaragiri's nose?"

"You want to die yourself, don't put the blame on us, Iwagakure."

"."

Almost at the moment when both parties mentioned the name 'Sawara Kiri'.

The situation, which was tense just now, quickly cooled down.

Kakashi even clearly saw that the dark-skinned boy, who had been extremely unruly since just now, seemed to stiffen for a moment when he heard the name.

Obviously, the Teacher Wu in these people's perception is completely opposite to what he knows.

"whispering sound."

Soon, the confrontation between the three parties gradually dispersed.

Han, the representative of the Iwagakure team, did not say much to Kakashi and the others. He just glanced at them with a scrutinizing look and left quickly.

The only ones left there were Obito and others who had barely recovered.

Just the tip of the iceberg of this Chunin Exam revealed this kind of scene.

Kakashi became more and more worried about the upcoming Chunin Exam.

the other side.

By the time Tsunade, Sahara Kiri and others received Oonoki's hospitality according to the treatment of Kage-level and returned to the luxurious hotel specially prepared for them, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. It was already dark outside and the temperature had dropped a lot.

They were allocated a standard presidential suite, which took up most of the floor. Even the scarce water resources in the Land of Earth were plentiful, and it was also equipped with a separate dry and wet bathroom.

Tsunade strode into the room under the protection of Sawara Kiri. The long drive did make her a little tired, and the intrigue with the old fox Ohnoki made her even more exhausted.

At this time, she was seen rubbing her shoulders while walking towards the direction of the presidential suite bedroom, and asked Sawara Kiri beside her:

"Fog, this time"

But before she could finish her question.

When I looked up, I saw that Sawara Kiri had already made a 'hush' gesture in front of her lips.

Tsunade then remembered that she was no longer in the village and stopped talking immediately.

Sawara Kiri's azure eyes only scanned the presidential suite once, and he easily found dozens of listening devices as small as a fly from under the bed, on the edge of the coffee table, at the bottom of the bookcase, in the ceiling compartments, etc. On the area no larger than a fingernail, there were densely packed complex sealing spells.

In this regard, the ninja world has opened up a new track between technology and seals.

This can be regarded as inspired by Sawara Kiri's 'Universal Capsule'.

"This old guy is not going to die."

Tsunade looked at the densely packed monitoring devices and cursed in annoyance.

Seeing her cursing, Sahara Kiri couldn't help but smile, walked slowly behind her, put his arms around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear:
"You must be careful recently, Lord Yondaime."

"I'm afraid this situation is quite serious. Even I don't have complete confidence that I can protect you."

Seeing his action, Tsunade's anger obviously did not subside. Instead, she gently elbowed him and cursed in a low voice:

"You know I'm the Yondaime, and you dare to be in a place like this?"

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by the people from Iwagakure?"

"Do you believe it or not, once what you are doing now is discovered, it will spread throughout the ninja world the next day?"

Tsunade threatened in a fierce tone: "When the time comes, I'll see if you'll suffer when you get home!"

She was obviously still resentful of what this guy said to Oonoki during the day.

"It's ok."

"My eyes can see very clearly."

"The Fourth Generation."

"You, don't move your hands!" Tsunade's face was flushed, but she still held his wrist stubbornly, and continued to lower her voice to try to change the subject, "Tell me first, what are you and Orochimaru secretly planning to do?"

Sahara Kiri couldn't help but pause: "This is a little hard to say."
