Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 118 That Idiot Red Bean (Tenth Update! Please Subscribe!)

"It smells so good."

Uehara Naraku and Maruhoshi Kosuke sat around a large iron pot, each holding a bowl and chopsticks and eating the cooked food inside, attracting the attention of the people around them.

It's illogical that a genin teacher and a young genin, who clearly don't seem to have much skill, would act so arrogantly.

Kosuke Maruboshi was also helpless.

Because of a mistake he made many years ago, Kosuke only wanted to be a genin for the rest of his life. However, this time, due to the orders and requests from his old friend and superior, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi had no choice but to be ordered to monitor Uehara.

Moreover, faced with Uehara Naraku's occasional provocations, Maruboshi Kosuke could only display his power in the hope that Uehara Naraku would restrain himself.

"Are you really not going to team up with me?"

After the two finished eating, Kosuke Maruboshi cleaned up the cooking utensils and explained softly, "Although temporary team formation is prohibited in the Chunin Exams, there are no particularly strict rules. After all, the final results still depend on the scrolls that each team obtains."

The rule for the second round of the Chunin Exams is to seize the Heaven and Earth Scroll.

Each team will be given either a Heaven Scroll or an Earth Scroll. To clear the level, you must collect both scrolls and reach the tower in the Death Forest.

Currently, about 20 teams have passed the Chunin Exams, which means at least half of the teams will be eliminated.

Uehara Naraku shook his head firmly and said, "My teammates don't want an old man by their side, and besides, Shiro's cooking skills are quite good."

"Yeah?"

Maruhoshi Kosuke could only sigh and leave.

After a while, Kaguya Kimimaro and Haku returned with the scroll. Uehara Naraku didn't pay any attention to it, and just told Haku to put the scroll away.

"Lord Naraku."

Kabuto Yakushi suddenly walked over, adjusted his glasses, and respectfully asked, "What kind of scroll does Lord Naraku need? We have the Heavenly Scroll."

The reel was delivered to my door before the competition even started.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Yakushi Kabuto speechlessly, then waved his hand and said, "I prefer to get what I want myself."

"Is that so?"

Kabuto sighed and shook his head, saying, "That's a real shame... These kids are probably going to have to go through a nightmare Chunin Exams, right? I hope they won't lose confidence after this."

"Hmph, they're definitely going to have nightmares. After all, someone who owes me something has snuck into this exam room, right?"

Uehara Naraku quietly opened the display panel of fate, and Orochimaru's portrait was right next to them.

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said, "Well... I don't know."

"Then tell that person!"

Uehara Naraku's figure flashed, suddenly appearing in front of Yakushi Kabuto and grabbing his collar tightly: "You have to pay back what you owe right away, or it will accrue interest!"

"…yes."

The pharmacist's forehead was covered in sweat.

He was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Uehara Naraku just now.

Uehara Naraku frowned, unable to tell whether Yakushi Kabuto was acting or genuinely frightened, after all, this guy was a veteran spy.

Uehara thought for a moment, then flung Yakushi Kabuto to the ground!

"Hey you two, private fights are prohibited here!"

A female ninja noticed the commotion and quickly rushed over. Looking up at Uehara Naraku, she said, "If you want to fight privately or even kill someone, just enter the Forest of Death, and you can settle it yourselves!"

After saying that, a cruel smile slowly appeared on the female ninja's face: "But if you cause trouble here, I'll tear you to pieces, understand? You lowly ninja brats!"

This female ninja is none other than Mitarashi Anko, the examiner for the second exam.

"I understand, I understand!"

Uehara Naraku looked at Mitarashi Anko, who still had a youthful face, and bowed and scraped, saying, "But this girl was the one who kept provoking me, and I just couldn't hold back..."

"is that so?"

Mitarashi Anko looked at Yakushi Kabuto with displeasure.

Kabuto glanced at Naraku Uehara, then nodded and said, "That's exactly what he said."

This is truly a case of being filled with grievances but having nowhere to voice them!

If he weren't outmatched by Uehara Naraku, Kabuto would have loved to twist Uehara Naraku's head off and see why his brain was so shameless!

"Hmph, save your breath if you want to provoke your opponent. When the battle begins, you can fight amongst yourselves or even kill each other without any consequences!"

After snorting, Mitarashi Anko grinned and gave Uehara Naraku and Yakushi Kabuto a sweet smile, saying, "But don't die in there so easily. I really like handsome guys like you!"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Uehara Naraku's smile deepened as he looked at Mitarashi Anko and said, "I also like girls like you, the examiner, who are sweet and cute..."

"Then keep up the good work!"

Mitarashi Anko patted Uehara Naraku on the shoulder and turned to leave.

But after Mitarashi Anko left Uehara Naraku, the smile on her face gradually turned cruel: "Another hot-blooded idiot who won't live long!"

The most important quality for a ninja is patience.

Just now, Uehara Naraku actually attacked under the enemy's provocation. Isn't he afraid of being disqualified from the Chunin Exams?

Kabuto's gaze gradually became strange as he stared at Mitarashi Anko's retreating figure, his mind filled with doubt. Was that woman really Orochimaru's disciple?

Why does it look so stupid!

She actually believed Uehara Naraku!

Orochimaru, also hiding in a corner, had been observing the commotion. He gently adjusted his straw hat and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "That idiot Anko!"

Indeed, he was right to give up on Mitarashi Anko back then.

They actually failed to see through Naraku's demonic nature!

However, he had to be extra careful with his plans for the Chunin Exams this time, and he needed to find a way to let Kabuto Yakushi discover Uehara Naraku's intentions.

Mitarashi Anko, oblivious to the two disapproving glances directed at her, looked at her watch and called out loudly, "All genin, proceed immediately to your entrance and await the official start of the exam!"

As Uehara Naraku led Kaguya Kimimaro and Haku toward their entrance, they happened to encounter Team 7 coming towards them.

As they passed each other, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly spoke up: "Hey, you, Uehara Naraku, don't die so easily in there. I'm going to challenge you!"

Kakashi Hatake specifically warned against provoking Naraku Uehara without cause, but Sasuke Uchiha planned to take Naraku Uehara as a challenge as well.

Anyway, he has a lot of opponents to challenge.

The stronger the opponent, the greater the help he can receive.

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but smile, revealing a friendly grin: "Oh? Welcome. If you can defeat me, as a reward, I can tell you some information about Uchiha Itachi."
