As a result, even now, he can no longer trust his assistants as he used to, and dares not confide all his secrets to them.

【Uchiha Ara.】

He gritted his teeth and silently vowed to himself.

However, all these unpleasant prerequisites can, under certain conditions, lead to a win-win situation.

Everything that happened before can be washed away again through this process.

if only,

It's good that he's dead!

So this time I'll help you, old man.

Don't let yourself get too old to lift a knife!

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to habitually stick out his tongue and lick his lips, but found the veil too cumbersome, so he had to give up and wait patiently and excitedly for the signal from the outside.

As for the agreement with Sunagakure?

This is a world that is inherently adaptable.

Moreover, the person with whom the cooperation agreement was made is no longer there, so how can we talk about the previous plans again?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily at a loss for words in response to the Fourth Kazekage's words.

Because of the other party's attitude, it was as if they didn't care about their own offspring at all.

Just as he was about to say something more, he realized that the other person had no intention of continuing the conversation and had directly turned their gaze to the arena.

If I were to say anything more, I would only be making a fool of myself.

Therefore, he remained silent and turned his attention to the audience.

And from his gradually straightening back, it can be seen that this supreme leader of Konoha is also gradually tightening his nerves.

Because next up is the most crucial battle!

[Naruto Uzumaki, don't let me down after all these months of waiting for you.]

[Since you are the offspring of the Fourth Hokage, then please inherit your father's will.]

[Let's protect Konoha amidst this chaos caused by the Uchiha clan!!]

.........

"Thank you."

Before facing Ara, Yakumo Kurama bowed slightly to him with a solemn expression.

Because she has already gotten everything she wanted.

The resounding name of Kurama that filled the arena, the endless exclamations of amazement—this was a tribute and a testament to their clan's return to the ninja world stage!

"This is an agreement between us."

"Stay by Izumi's side from now on, she will protect you."

Huang nodded slightly, accepting the gratitude from the other party without the slightest hesitation.

They also outlined the next steps.

If things proceed as they have in history, it will be impossible to complete all the Chunin Joint Exams this time.

Because in the meantime, Sunagakure and Otogakure will launch a full-scale "Konoha Collapse" operation.

And just as everyone has seen and speculated,

Kurama Yakumo's strength lies in her ability to control the battlefield, but her close combat ability is almost zero. Before her subordinates have fully arrived at the main battlefield, she is the safest person to be by Izumi's side.

"I see."

Kurama Yakumo obediently replied to this arrangement.

She clearly understood that receiving something comes with giving something in return, and she had long been prepared for that.

At the same time, when she saw Naruto Uzumaki slowly descending the stairs, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

“I can sense that something terrifying is hidden inside your next opponent.”

"Given the title of 'fox demon' he has always been associated with, it is possible that, as the rumors suggest, something related to the nine-tailed fox exists within him."

"Please be careful with it."

Kurama Yakumo analyzed as he looked at the aloof young man in front of him.

Although she felt it was a bit far-fetched when she made such a conjecture, she also thought that the person in front of her might not believe such nonsense.

But after hesitating for a moment, she spoke her mind.

Because of his powerful mental strength, he was naturally able to clearly sense that the contestant named Naruto Uzumaki had a strange emotion towards Ara.

This feeling began the moment they stepped into the arena.

Of course, Yakumo Kurama had considered trying to find out what kind of thing or power was inside the other person's body.

But even after just a preliminary contact, the intense hatred made it unwilling, or rather, afraid to continue its reckless exploration.

"Your feeling is correct."

Despite this reminder, Huang's expression remained unchanged, and he directly revealed this secret.

Since Yakumo Kurama can directly sense the Nine-Tails' aura on Naruto Uzumaki, it means that the double seal on his body has loosened.

The person who could do this directly was Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin!

Thinking of that guy who called himself the Lustful Immortal, Ara's eyes narrowed slightly. That was the real troublesome one, but for now, he hadn't sensed his presence.

Upon hearing this, a violent turmoil clearly appeared in Kurama Yakumo's eyes.

My guess turned out to be correct!

The demonic fox that brought disaster to Konoha was actually sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki's body!

"It's alright, it's just a half-fox demon that's been sealed away."

Seeing the girl start to panic, Huang said it casually.

"Then, I wish you great success in your military endeavors."

Hearing this answer, Yakumo Kurama's inner turmoil was somewhat calmed.

After offering her blessings, she passed by him and headed towards the lounge.

"Game three, start!"

Looking at the two contestants who had stopped, Genma Shiranui said in a deep voice.

At the same time, his nerves were stretched to their limit.

This is because one of the contestants is named Uchiha Ara.

Eastern War, Northern War.

At only fifteen years old, he had experienced far more than most of the ninjas in the village.

I really don't know why the Third Hokage would allow someone like this to participate in this Chunin Exams.

Is it simply to demonstrate the village's power?

It's not necessary.

The name "Blood Asura" says it all.

The audience in the stands showed the same attitude as Genma Shiranui.

No one cared about the final result of the match anymore. What they cared about was how the boy, whom the blood mist called Shura, would defeat his opponent in which breath and in what way!

"Naruto-kun."

Listening to the discussions and conclusions coming from all sides, Hinata Hyuga, sitting with her teammates, intertwined her fingers tightly.

A murmured whisper arose from his lips and in his heart.

After all, his opponent was someone even Neji could defeat with ease!

"trouble,"

"Naruto has met his match this time."

"This is definitely not an opponent that can be dealt with by 'poison gas'."

Kiba Inuzuka, standing beside the girl, murmured something, and the puppy in her arms barked in agreement.

It has a certain ability to sense danger and strong individuals.

The aura emanating from the boy mentioned by his master was enough to make him tremble and dare not be an enemy.

"I never expected to meet you in the very first match, Ara."

Looking at his opponent in his field of vision, Naruto Uzumaki broke the deadlock and spoke.

Even though the examiner had announced the start of the competition, neither of them made a move, nor did they even show any sign of wariness.

The conversation at this moment is like the pleasantries exchanged between old friends.

Huang did not answer.

He just silently watched the little nine-tailed fox in front of him.

The image of him when they first met suddenly appeared before his eyes.

At that time, Naruto Uzumaki was gathering all his strength and roaring at the Konoha residents who were targeting him. He was not some kind of demon fox; he had a name: Naruto Uzumaki!

Then, we met in front of Ichiraku Ramen. This guy was as wary as a kitten.

However, in the end, it was defeated by the delicious ramen.

Then came the Eastern War, which lasted for several years, and this little guy squeezed out of the crowd to see himself off.

The last two contacts were during the Shuimu incident a few months ago, and during the farce in front of the second trial ground a month ago.

In Yu Zhi's memory, images of Naruto Uzumaki flashed by like a slideshow.

There are very few fragments, but some are worth remembering.
