Chapter 258
The story of Itachi and Sasuke ends. Although there are only two stories this time, they contain a lot of important information.
The truth of the Uchiha clan extermination and Itachi's life experience are undoubtedly the top priority, but for other countries in the ninja world, the Uchiha's various emerging moves and the news of the ninja world war are more worthy of their attention.
Based on this point, after a lot of verbal battles and resource exchanges, Konoha gave the conditions for the summoning of the Impure World Reincarnation, so that the other four ninja villages can take precautions in advance to prevent Orochimaru and Kabuto from causing the undead disaster again.
At the same time, the previous topic of the joint Chunin exam was officially established after discussion. The exam will be held in fifteen days. The four Kages use their own means of communication to pass the news back to the village, so that the high-level people left in the village can select suitable Genin to participate in the exam.
The Genin in Konoha Village naturally received the notice, and each of them was ready to show their skills in this unprecedented joint Chunin exam of the five major ninja villages.
The ones who felt the most urgent were undoubtedly the cockroaches that had appeared on the sky.
At least Shikamaru clearly realized that in addition to Naruto's conspicuous bag, he, who was lazy and unmotivated, would probably become the target of others.
It's not that they were unhappy with them and wanted to kill them, but there were definitely many people who wanted to step on them to get to the top and show off their power.
Originally, according to Shikamaru's idea, he would just surrender when he met a difficult opponent, but his father who liked to watch the fun saw through his idea and forced him not to give up unless he had no choice, and used Choji and Ino as an excuse, which made Shikamaru, who wanted to lie down, very helpless. Recently, the three of Ino, Shika and Chou were all undergoing hell training with Asuma.
The other classes were also in a similar pattern.
During the training of the Xiaoqiangs, Itachi, who had left Akatsuki, sneaked into Konoha and met with Tsunade in secret. After submitting the intelligence of Akatsuki, Itachi originally planned to take an external mission to stay away from Sasuke temporarily, and come back to see him after he figured out how to die at Sasuke's hands, but this request was directly rejected by Tsunade.
Since Tianmu had already exposed the truth of the Uchiha clan's extermination, and the third generation had intended to disclose this matter before, Tsunade had no reason to let Itachi, a hero of Konoha, continue to run around, especially when he was seriously ill.
So under Tsunade's strong order, Itachi stayed as the Anbu of the Hokage. Of course, in order not to stimulate Sasuke, he must have concealed his identity. This not only made it convenient for Itachi to protect Sasuke at close range, but also allowed Tsunade to regulate his body. Although it was impossible to restore his eyesight, it was still no problem to treat other diseases.
Time soon came to three days before the start of the Chunin Exam, and ninjas from various countries had gathered in Konoha to make final preparations before the exam.
At Kakashi's suggestion, Naruto and Sasuke had their last match before the exam on this day. They would stop training and adjust their bodies in the next few days.
"Rasengan!" "Chidori!" The two shouted the names of the moves and attacked each other's attacks at the same time.
The violent chakra collided with each other, and the shock wave directly knocked the two people out, rolling on the ground in a mess.
For a long time, neither of them got up, lying on the ground gasping for breath. Kakashi, who was watching the battle, came out and said, "Okay, today's match is over, and both sides are tied."
Sakura, who was also watching the battle, also came out. She and Kakashi helped Sasuke and Naruto to the big tree nearby and used the palm magic they had just mastered to treat them.
Ignoring Sakura's actions, Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was screaming under Kakashi's bandage, with a face full of unwillingness.
Although Sasuke has never lost to Naruto in the competition over the past ten days, and the worst result is a draw, Sasuke knows very well that this is only the result that Naruto can achieve under normal conditions.
He did not use the Nine-Tails Chakra, nor did he squeeze the Chakra to use multiple shadow clones like a sea of people, but even so, in the competition over the past few days, Sasuke began to feel the pressure that Naruto brought him in the battle.
This victory that seemed to be given by others made Sasuke's heart burn like a raging fire, and he even temporarily forgot the troubles of Itachi and Konoha, and only thought about how to become stronger and defeat Naruto.
However, compared with Naruto who was advancing almost without any obstacles, Sasuke clearly felt that the speed of his strength improvement was slowing down. According to this progress, let alone suppressing Naruto, being able to see his back was already a gift for him.
So much so that after training in the past few days, Sasuke would always go to the secret gathering place of Uchiha to look for information, trying to find out if there was any way to eliminate Naruto.Other ways to make him stronger quickly besides the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Although it was a bit of a fuss, this was also Sasuke's effort to resist Itachi's arrangement. Although he didn't know how long this state could last, because if he continued to be stimulated by Naruto, Sasuke might directly open the Mangekyō.
Sasuke took a few deep breaths to suppress the jealousy in his heart. After all, he had seen Naruto's ability in the future on the sky, so he was mentally prepared and quickly adjusted his emotions.
Naruto, as usual, complained a few words about not being able to beat Sasuke, and then put today's competition behind him.
Because Kakashi was looking after them, Naruto and Sasuke's injuries were not very serious. Even though Sakura's palm fairy technique was not very proficient, she successfully healed the two of them after half an hour of hard work.
It was about 4:30 in the afternoon. Although it was still early, at Kakashi's suggestion, everyone was also ready to find a small shop to sit and solve dinner later.
Hearing that Kakashi was going to treat, Naruto naturally chose Ichiraku Ramen. Sasuke and Sakura had no other opinions, so they came to Ichiraku Ramen together.
Pulling open the door curtain, Naruto just greeted the boss of the hand-beating shop, and the originally dark sky was bright again.
So the guys pulled the chairs outside the door as usual, ready to see what big events would be exposed today.
[In Konoha Hospital, Sasuke, who was recuperating on the bed, faced Naruto and Sakura who came to visit him, with a gloomy expression]
[In his mind, the scenes of Naruto's fighting with Gaara kept rolling, and the scenes of Itachi treating him like a piece of grass but paying special attention to Naruto. ]
[Sasuke became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his expression gradually became fierce. He saw him rudely knocking away the apple handed over by Sakura, turning his head and glaring at Naruto who looked silly. ]
