Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 108 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Perfunctory Approach

After all the foreign ninjas present had left, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to praise Chiga.

"Good. Using Shadow Raven makes it impossible for the opponent to distinguish where the raven is, while concealing your own figure, and then using Flying Thunder God Technique to finish off the enemy."

"This is an excellent idea, and Chiga's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique is also very skillful. Minato, you've done a good job teaching her."

Seeing that Chiga was able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique so quickly, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that Minato was probably the one who helped him.

"You're too kind."

Upon hearing this, Minato gave an awkward laugh, but rationally refrained from saying anything further.

The strength that Chiga has unleashed is already astonishing enough. If everyone were to find out that Chiga's Flying Thunder God Technique was entirely self-taught, it would be too monstrous.

Watergate's emotional intelligence is still quite high.

They knew that the Konoha leadership didn't have much affection for the Uchiha clan at the moment.

If he continues to act like a monster, it will easily bring trouble to Chiga. Although it already feels like there are constant troubles, it's better to avoid trouble.

Kushina was initially pleased to hear Hiruzen Sarutobi praise her disciple, but upon hearing that Minato's teaching was excellent, she became displeased and corrected him, "Old man, who told you it was Minato who taught you? It was clearly me!"

"Oh yes, yes, yes! It's because you taught me well!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes at Kushina. "The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu that even someone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't understand. How could someone as simple-minded as you teach it?"

However, he didn't dare say it aloud, otherwise Kushina would definitely explode.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's sarcastic tone also displeased Kushina, who bared her teeth and claws at him, angrily shouting, "Old man, how dare you try to fool me!?"

Seeing that Kushina was about to stroke his beard, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately changed the subject, saying seriously, "Kushina, I need you and Chiga to discuss your next plans!"

"What's there to discuss about our next steps?"

Kushina immediately stopped and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled expression.

"You saw it too. Before those Iwa ninja left, their eyes were full of killing intent when they looked at Chiga. Even if they were inferior in skill, it's impossible to just let it go like that."

"Although the Land of Earth dares not openly issue assassination missions, it will definitely hand them over to underground bounty agencies."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "So, for Chiga's safety, I've decided to stop him from going out on missions."

"Of course, this is only temporary. After a year or two, when this storm has passed and things have calmed down, we will let Chiga leave the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suggested that he had actually been planning for Chiga for a long time, and that this arrangement was indeed the best choice for Chiga.

Upon hearing about the safety of her disciple, Kushina immediately became serious.

"Indeed, ninjas have a wide variety of assassination methods. Although Chiga can evade most of the pursuit with his Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have a hard time dealing with underhanded tactics such as poisoning. He is still young and lacks experience."

"Old man, I understand. I'll talk to Chiga about it and ask him to stay in the village for a while. It's been a long time since I've teamed up with Chiga for a D-rank mission."

Kushina nodded, indicating her agreement with Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement, as nothing was more important than the safety of her disciple.

Seeing that Kushina agreed, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything more. He just looked at Chika on the screen and sighed, "Next, I need to think carefully about how to give that old man Onoki an explanation."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was older than him and was considered a cunning and shrewd fellow.

Having suffered such a great loss at the hands of Konoha, they certainly won't let it go so easily.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was having a bit of a headache for the time being.

After all, it seems as if Konoha had outmaneuvered the Land of Earth, not only capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki but also causing all of the Land of Earth's new generation of genin to perish in the Chunin Exams.

If a reasonable explanation cannot be found, Hiruzen Sarutobi is certain that the Third Tsuchikage will launch a war.

Despite his age, Onoki still has a lot of guts.

Although Konoha is not afraid of war, it does not want to start a war for no reason and let other countries benefit from it.

Moreover, he could foresee that once a war broke out, the other three kingdoms would inevitably take action as well.

In the Forest of Death, the carnage is drawing to a close.

"Our Land of Earth will avenge us!"

At this moment, Kari's face was numb. The wails of his teammates and the fear of death made him completely lose the will to fight against Chiga.

He was the only Iwa ninja left present, and none of the thirty Iwa ninja had managed to harm Chiga in the slightest.

"I'm waiting for your people to come and die!"

Chiga responded coldly, then plunged a knife into Kari's heart.

With Kari's death, none of the Iwa ninja who participated in the Chunin Exams survived.

The commotion had already attracted the attention of the test takers, and some of the bolder ones even hid on the outskirts, hoping to snag some bargains.

But what happened next was beyond their expectations.

One person actually killed thirty Iwa ninjas; the scene was so shocking that they had no desire to fight back.

After seeing Chiga scan them, they felt a chill run down their spines and turned to run away, fearing that Chiga hadn't killed enough and would finish them off as well.

Chiga breathed a sigh of relief after the group of onlookers left.

Although he still had the strength to fight again, he did not want to kill needlessly.

They came to Might Guy and Ebisu's side.

"Uncle Matt Damon, how are you feeling?"

Chiga looked at Might Guy's grimacing face and asked with concern.

"Holy crap! I'm okay!"

With Ebisu's help, Might Guy managed to stand up and gave Chiga a forced smile.

Chiga remained silent for a while, saying nothing, but walked to the corpse of the Iwa ninja, found a 1-shaped scroll, and put it into his ninja tool bag.

Then, turning to Might Guy and Ebisu, he said, "Let's go, let's go to the tower first!"

Matt Day asked, puzzled, "The tower? Don't we still have one objective to solve? Going to the tower now would mean mission failure."

"Uncle Matt Day, don't push yourself. If you don't get treatment soon, the injury on your arm will be irreversible."

Chiga had no knowledge of medical ninjutsu, but she was still able to determine the severity of an injury.

Moreover, the seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation already puts a great strain on the body, and Might Guy even used a technique like Daytime Tiger.

The injuries became more serious.

This can be considered a drawback of the Eight Gates Formation, since the ultimate physical techniques inevitably require a strong body to support them.

Compared to Might Guy, Might Day's talent is indeed somewhat lacking.

Chiga knew that the assassination mission could not proceed.

Although Might Guy won't die, the longer it drags on, the greater the long-term consequences will be.
