Narration system starting from Konoha

Teeth and nose suddenly sniffed.

"Ugh." A fountain of gas suddenly gushed from his mouth, and he quickly shut his nose with his teeth.

"This is an empty poison gas bomb. I was allowed to smell it during the preliminaries. If it weren't for the poison gas bomb, hmph, I don't know who would have won the battle against Naruto."

Shikamaru nodded and said, "It does smell like poison gas, but I don't know how much time has passed."

Not only were there traces of poison gas bombs, but also traces of detonating smoke bombs and fireballs.

One person escaped into the forest halfway through the journey; it seems he was hit by Kong's poison gas. Let's hurry and speed up our journey. I wonder how Kong is doing now.

Facing the Sound Four alone, make sure you don't die outside.

Aside from Naruto, the others here don't have much of a relationship with Sasuke; they're only with him because they're both Konoha ninja and don't want to see a fellow villager in trouble.

Naruto was silent for a moment, then said, "I thank everyone on behalf of Sasuke."

Shikamaru shook his head and said, "No need. Sora is a good friend of ours. We can't just stand by and watch him be in danger."

"Let's keep going, Neji. Thank you for your involvement this time."

Naruto originally intended to teach Neji a lesson to avenge Hinata, but now that Neji has done him a great favor, Naruto decides to let Neji go.

Naruto's arrogance is kicking in again; he thinks he can win before even fighting Neji.

"After this mission is over, let's find some time to have a spar and see who escapes unscathed."

Neji is a rare genius of the Hyuga clan. He doesn't believe he will lose to Naruto, even though Naruto made many contributions during the previous Sound Ninja invasion.

"Naruto, after this mission is over, I want to fight you too. The preliminaries were completely unfair. If Sora hadn't thrown the poison gas bomb in the toilet, I wouldn't have lost," Kiba said, dissatisfied.

Naruto readily agreed. He had grown a lot under Jiraiya's tutelage these past few days, especially after learning a new technique that he was eager to test. Kiba and Neji's arrival was just in time.

In the Hidden Sound Village, Orochimaru sat on his chair with a grim expression, having just sensed that the cursed seal on Jirobo's body had also disappeared.

The deaths of two members of the Four-Numbered Staff made Orochimaru somewhat anxious.

A white snake crawled out of the body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Kimimaro, Kabuto, I hope you two won't disappoint me."

In the forest, Uchiha Sora increased his speed, while in the system space, Tayuya and Kidomaru became serious, and their speed also increased dramatically.

To catch up with them, Kong needs to be even faster.

Chakra flowed continuously from his body and was concentrated in his legs, instantly increasing his speed significantly.

Like a dark shadow moving through the forest, compare the speed of Tayuya and Kidomaru in the system space.

Feeling that he was moving faster, he would occasionally interrupt the two with his narration, preventing them from focusing entirely on their journey.

Time slowly passed, and a spider web caught Sora's attention; this was Kidomaru's warning method.

Once the spider web vibrates, Kidomaru will know the enemy's situation and prepare in advance.

Sora had already seen it when Kidomaru set it up, and he buried an explosive smoke bomb under the spider.

Detonating it at a crucial moment to attract Kidomaru's attention can be considered a tactic against the enemy.

Kong continued forward, while the two men stood in the forest looking in his direction.

"Uchiha Sora, I didn't expect it to be you. It seems that Jirobo and Sakon failed. They are really useless. They can't even deal with a Chunin."

Kong laughed and said, "Look at yourself before you judge others. It's too early to say who will live and who will die."

Chapter 116 The Shameless Battle

"Boom."

The large wooden tub containing Sasuke was placed on the ground.

Kidomaru frowned and said, "Tayuya, you take Sasuke and go. I'll play with Uchiha Sora. Jirobo is the weakest."

I'm not surprised at all that he was defeated by Uchiha Kurenai, but it's Sakon, who's always been so arrogant, who also fell for it. He always considered himself the strongest of the Four.

"I, Kidomaru, am the number one of the Four! Uchiha Sora, your pursuit ends here!"

[That's what Sakon said too, and now he's dead at the hands of Uchiha Kaku.]

Kidomaru's expression changed, then returned to normal. He said, "Who knows if the narrator and Uchiha Sora conspired to create false information to confuse our thinking?"

I won't believe something I haven't seen with my own eyes.

Sora took a deep breath. He had originally planned to use narration to create the illusion that Sakon and Jirobo had been hit by a smokescreen, so that Kidomaru and Tayuya would lower their guard.

Unexpectedly, the narration gave him away; the damn system would only cause him trouble.

Kidomaru never believed that Uchiha Sora could kill Jirobo and Sakon with his strength; he must have used some underhanded methods.

Upon hearing the narration, Kong quickly sent a message. Whether it was useful or not, it would at least disrupt their thinking and make them wary.

All four said that Jirobo was the weakest of the Sound Four, but according to Uchiha Sora, Tayuya was the easiest to deal with.

As long as she guards against Tayuya's illusions, her physical skills are only third-rate.

[Jirobo and Sakon were caught off guard by the poison gas and were killed by Uchiha Sora.]

Tayuya and Kidomaru both took a few steps back to create some distance between them.

The two became wary. Although they had never experienced the power of poison gas before, it was something even Lord Orochimaru feared, and Jirobo and Sakon had already fallen victim to it.

"You've always called yourselves the Sound Four, but I've heard that you're actually the Sound Five, with the strongest being a ninja named Kimimaro."

"When did you become a group of four? Why are you so eager to exclude him? It seems Kimimaro has been suppressing you quite a bit."

Kimimaro, leader of the Sound Five, an awakened member of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), has now developed a bloodline disease, and his death is only a matter of time.

"Haha, Uchiha Sora, did you hear that? Kimimaro is about to die. From now on, there will only be the Sound Four, and I will be the leader of the Sound Four."

Kidomaru thought disdainfully, "How dare someone who's about to die be ranked alongside them?"

Sora shook his head and said, "You're wrong. It should be called the Sound Ninja Duo now. If you include Kimimaro, who is still alive, it can be called the Trio."

However, I estimate it will soon become a one-man army. With Orochimaru keeping him alive, Kimimaro might live a few more days, but the two of you will die today.

"Hmph, what a boastful statement. It seems you haven't truly experienced the power of the Cursed Seal II yet. You'll soon understand what despair is."

Kidomaru was already dreaming that once he killed Uchiha Sora and Kimimaro was dead, he could rebuild the Sound Five with himself at the center.

At that time, Kidomaru will be Orochimaru's right-hand man, second only to Kabuto Yakushi.

"Kidomaru, it seems you've been quite arrogant while I was away."

His voice arrived before he did, conveying calmness and confidence.

"Shh."

Two figures stood on the big tree behind Kidomaru and Tayuya.

One of them had white hair, green eyes, and two red dots between his eyebrows.

His eyes always exuded composure, unlike the four oddballs. If one didn't know the information, it would be difficult to associate this person with the four.

The one who arrived was none other than Orochimaru's favorite confidant, Kaguya Kimimaro.

Another one is Kabuto Yakushi, who always has a fake smile on his face. From the first time Sora Uchiha met Kabuto, the smile on his face has never changed.

It was as if that expression was frozen on his face.

Kimimaro's appearance caught Kidomaru and Tayuya off guard. Kidomaru, who had previously considered himself the leader of the Four, was quickly proven wrong.

Kabuto Yakushi knew Kidomaru's personality very well, and the scene before him was not unexpected. He even knew each of the four members of the group inside and out.

"That's how people are. The less capable they are, the more they want to show off. Maybe I've been too strict with them. Once they're out of my sight, they start to lose control."

"Mr. Kabuto, you've made a fool of yourself, Kidomaru. You're always like this, trying to be clever. This kind of personality of yours will only lead to trouble sooner or later."

Kidomaru's expression kept changing, and he didn't dare to utter a single word.

Tayuya said, "Kimimaro, aren't you sick? Why are you still out on a mission?"

Kimimaro flashed to the side of the barrel, a gentle look in his eyes, and said slowly, "Is this Lord Orochimaru's next vessel? You guys are too slow, what a bunch of useless guys."

Kimimaro is a person who has transcended base desires, a person whose body is on the verge of death but whose spirit remains stubbornly alive; his powerful will even allows him to forget the pain caused by his bloodline disease.

Unbeknownst to Uchiha Sora, four smoke bombs appeared in his hand: one black and three of other colors.

The appearance of Kimimaro and Kabuto Yakushi was unexpected, but it only made him somewhat wary; he was not yet invincible.

It would be troublesome if it were someone like Itachi Uchiha; being slightly less or much less would result in the same outcome.

Just like Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Sasuke, all three were instantly defeated by Itachi Uchiha, but there was a significant difference in their strength.

"Hey, isn't this Kabuto Yakushi? You failed the Chunin Exams for three years and ended up joining Orochimaru in a fit of anger. How are you doing with Orochimaru?"

After some time apart, Senior Dou hasn't changed at all; he's still just as ordinary and unremarkable.

Now that Tsunade-senpai has become Hokage, how about I talk to her and ask her to let you return to Konoha? Ordinary ninjas like you are really rare.

Failing the exam seven times in a row is practically a record in Konoha.

The four chatted as if no one else was around, their ignoring attitude making Uchiha Sora very disdainful. They seemed to think he was completely under their thumb, like a toad with chicken feathers stuck in its ass, pretending to be something it's not.

Kabuto Yakushi remained expressionless, pushed up his glasses, and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. It's a bit unexpected."

Thank you for the invitation, but I can better utilize my talents under Lord Orochimaru.

A decaying village like Konoha only buries a person's worth.

The death of Yakushi Nonou was a lifelong pain for Yakushi Kabuto; his heart had been completely shut off, and a thick layer of disguise covered his soul.

Until the disguise is broken, no one will ever see the real Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto Yakushi's expression remained unchanged, as if the conversation wasn't about him; his eyes were always narrowed, carrying a faint hint of mockery.

[Kubo Yakushi always thought that the person who killed Sakon was a member of Konoha's ANBU pursuit team, but he never expected it to be Uchiha Sora, who was always considered a slacker.]

[Thinking of how even Orochimaru was wary of Uchiha Sora's smokescreen, Kabuto Yakushi understood somewhat.]

Kabuto Yakushi is a tough nut to crack; all his expressions seem to be acting, and his emotional fluctuations are completely disproportionate to his expressions.

Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru are both villainous supporting characters in Naruto, but their emotional fluctuations and the emotional values ​​they provide differ by a factor of ten.

This is a person without a sense of self, and almost no emotions, as if all their actions are performed according to a script.
