Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 160 Danzo's Decision: Art is an Explosion (Please Subscribe)

"I never expected that Danzo would want to meet with Hanzo the Salamander."

Inside the Rain Country base, Black Zetsu found Nagato with the letter in his hand, while Obito Uchiha stood by, looking equally puzzled.

He was a little confused. Was Danzo courting death?

"Danzo, do you want to see Hanzo?"

Not only Obito, but Nagato also had a strange look on his face.

"Does that mean we can take this opportunity to get rid of him?"

"Not surprisingly, that's the case."

Black Zetsu nodded. He hadn't expected Danzo to have such a thought, which made him realize how lucky he was.

They were still figuring out how to find Danzo when he actually showed up at their doorstep. It was such a stroke of luck.

"But Danzo insisted on meeting near Konoha. He seemed very worried about something happening to him. Besides that, he also mentioned something else."

"Near Konoha? That's no big deal."

Nagato didn't see anything wrong with this request; Danzo, a guy who was like a sewer rat, would definitely be extremely cautious.

However, this was no big deal for them, since they were about to set off for Konoha!
"Then let's meet with him. If possible, we can avoid fighting within Konoha and causing too much trouble."

Nagato spoke directly, then asked with a puzzled look.

"You said he also mentioned something else, what is it?"

“He didn’t dare meet with us alone; he wanted someone to be there.”

Black Zetsu shook his head and said with a hint of amusement.

"He didn't reveal who it was, but it's probably a way for him to protect himself."

"Agree to his request and let him bring his men."

Nagato glanced at Obito Uchiha and, seeing that the guy had no desire to speak, made his decision directly.

"I'm quite curious, who exactly can protect him!"

Obito Uchiha raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to discuss Kitagawa Gen's matter.

However, Black Zetsu stopped him, and it was best not to cause any further trouble at this point.

Besides, dealing with Danzo beforehand will make things much easier later on.
"Lord Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura has sent another message."

In the Land of Fields, within the Village of Sound.

Kimimaro took a scroll from the mouth of a viper, glanced at the marks on the scroll, and then turned to Orochimaru and spoke.

"Danzo?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. Ever since he realized that Danzo had betrayed him, he hadn't paid much attention to the letters that were being sent.

Even if he went to see it, he wouldn't respond at all, since he really had no interest in wasting time talking to the dead.

Danzo had stopped corresponding with Danzo for a while, but unexpectedly, just as he was about to set off, Danzo's letter arrived again.

"Lord Orochimaru, would you like to take a look?"

Kimimaro lowered his head and spoke softly.

"After all, we're about to set off for Konoha, and this Danzo..."

"Bring it here."

Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse Kimimaro's offer.

The information Danzo sent at this time was indeed somewhat sensitive, especially since Danzo was his target this time.

He also wanted to see what tricks Danzo was up to!
"Hmm? Danzo, you want to see me?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow after glancing at the scroll.

"interesting."

Orochimaru couldn't quite figure out what Danzo was up to.

This guy has absolutely no awareness of betraying him and always acts innocent.

If it were someone else, they might have been scammed.

But Orochimaru knew Danzo too well; he knew very well that this guy definitely had other motives.

"Perhaps, we should go and see him."

However, after pondering for a moment, Orochimaru stroked his chin and thought to himself.

"After all, he's the target. If we can avoid any unexpected incidents, that would be even better, even if he brings some other people with him."

Danzo didn't hide the fact that he brought people with him; instead, he directly stated that he couldn't possibly come to see Orochimaru alone.

Of course, it's impossible to write down exactly how many people he would bring, but Orochimaru was still willing to give it a try.

"I understand. Could you contact Dou for me and tell him to prepare to cooperate with my operation?"

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Kimimaro nodded, then fell silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"Lord Orochimaru, can't I go with you this time?"

"No."

Orochimaru looked at Kimimaro and couldn't help but sigh. He knew what Kimimaro was thinking, but Kimimaro's health was really not good.

He could handle the injuries, but the recurring bloodline disease, similar to Yang Release, left him helpless.

The fact that Kimimaro has survived to this day proves his tenacity.

"You should stay here and recuperate; who knows, maybe in the future..."

Even Orochimaru, a cold-blooded person, didn't say anything harsh when he looked at Kimimaro.

"You can still demonstrate your worth, Kimimaro."

"Hey, Yuan, does that blondie have some kind of weird hobby, hmm?"

The following day, on the streets of Konoha.

Deidara followed Kitagawa Gen in a low voice and asked, which gave Kitagawa Gen, who had just gotten up, a headache.

"How should I know? Aren't you just a blond kid too? Besides, instead of talking about him, let's talk about you. Why did you come all by yourself?"

"Tch, the old man is too slow. Why wait for the official start? I'll just set off now."

"Is that what I asked? Where are your fellow participants? Why are you the only one who came?"

"Relax, relax, they're just too slow. It's nothing, besides, I came in through the proper channels."

Seeing Deidara's nonchalant attitude, Kitagawa Gen didn't know what to say for a moment.

This guy is really taking advantage of being the Tsuchikage's disciple to do whatever he wants!
"How many more days until you Iwagakure people arrive?"

Kitagawa Gen rubbed his temples, asking in a pained tone, while Deidara thought for a moment and replied uncertainly.

"Today or tomorrow, it won't be slow. Speaking of which, I saw the Sunagakure troops when I came here. They should be here today." Deidara was traveling alone, so it was no surprise that he saw the Sunagakure people high in the sky.

"Is it arriving today? Looks like it really is coming."

Hearing this news, Kitagawa Gen perked up a bit. Although the Chunin Exams were no longer relevant to him, it was still something that excited him.

Putting aside Gaara's problem, even if he hadn't come to this grand exam, the task given to Kitagawa Gen might not have been bad!

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Patting his face, Kitagawa Gen nodded and turned to walk towards the Hokage Building.

"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"

Deidara panicked at Kitagawa Gen's actions, while Kitagawa Gen rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to apply for the position of Chunin Exam Prosecutor, why are you still following me?"

He hadn't forgotten the promise he'd made; even if he didn't get it, he'd still go "visit"!
"Damn it, I didn't bother you guys with your party yesterday, but you should at least do what you promised me today, right?"

Deidara was also a little annoyed, and he snorted and spoke.

"You questioned my art back then, and even told me that Dust Release was the real art, so I've been working hard to learn it ever since I got back."

"so."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Gen stopped in his tracks and looked at Deidara with a puzzled expression.

"Have you learned it?"

"Tch, don't doubt my talent, hmm!"

Deidara proudly raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and chuckled.

"Although I'm not as good at it as the old man, I've basically learned how to use it in a simple way. How about it, can we compare our art now!"

Seeing Deidara like this and listening to what he said, Kitagawa Gen felt that this guy was probably not lying.

If that's the case, then we can only say that Deidara's talent is off the charts!
He didn't join the Akatsuki organization, and instead dutifully learned Dust Release from Onoki. This guy's potential is truly immeasurable.

Art is an explosion—Boom

Accept Deidara's artistic challenge

Just as he was pondering, the system refreshed again, which startled him slightly before he readily spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's find a suitable training ground and give it a try."

"Ugh?"

Deidara's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Weren't you just acting all indifferent? Hmm."

"Now that I'm interested, I can't let you fall as soon as I make a move, that would be too boring."

"Hmph, don't think you're some kind of Konoha's New White Fang, White Flash, Purple Lightning."

"Alright, I can't fit all those titles into one list. Shall we go or not?"

Kitagawa Gen also felt a little strange about how he had so many random nicknames.

And if you really think about it, he seems to have even more titles?
"Let's go!"

Deidara didn't bother to think too much about it and immediately followed with a smile, but after a moment's thought, he still asked out of curiosity.

"By the way, is Naruto, that blond-haired kid, really alright?"

"No, why do you keep asking him?"

"I think he's quite interesting, but I'm afraid... Never mind, as long as you say it's okay, where is he?"

"He."

Speaking of Naruto, Kitagawa Gen also revealed a mischievous smile.

"Are you feeling lost right now?"

These words left Deidara completely bewildered.

"Ugh?"

"Hopefully, my technique can last a little longer."

"."

On the rooftop of Naruto's house in Konoha.

Sasuke and Naruto stood on top, looking down at the bustling crowd below.

"Hey, I'm hungry. My body can't keep up with hunger."

Suddenly, Sasuke spoke.

"If I can't think of a solution, I'm going back to eat ramen."

"Idiot, eating ramen every day will make your health worse."

Naruto spoke with disdain.

"No wonder I felt so unwell, now I know. What an idiot."

After the words were spoken, the two fell silent for a while. Suddenly, they grabbed each other by the collar and shouted at the same time.

"If you despise me so much, give my body back!"

"Idiot, I wasn't the only one not wearing a skirt yesterday. Is it really okay for you to pour alcohol into my juice?"

"Naruto" roared, and "Sasuke" was not to be outdone.

"Stop talking nonsense. Yuan can definitely sense it. It's one thing for him, but why are you doing this too? Besides, I drank it too, didn't I? If you're so tough, hit me!"

I'll hit you if I want!

Without saying a word, Naruto swung his fist and punched.

"You're nothing but a useless piece of trash who can't get revenge, an idiot who's worked so hard but hasn't improved at all. Look at your pathetic state!"

However, he could only throw a few punches before he couldn't continue, which gave Sasuke an opportunity.

"You're no better!"

Sasuke was not to be outdone and gave Naruto a good beating.

"You're nothing but a loser now. Sakura won't even give you a second glance. She has to be careful with your subsidies so that she's afraid they'll be swindled away by Gen. You bastard!"

As the fight went on, he couldn't continue. The two stared at each other in silence, both feeling a sharp pain from each other's punches.
"Hey?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in their ears. Turning their heads, they saw Kakashi staring at them with dead fish eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Kakashi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Are you guys playing some kind of transformation game?

"Huh? Transformation?"
