Chapter 226 Itachi: Is there a store here? Nagato: I’m going to Konoha to deal with Danzo

day by day:”.”

After hearing Lin Mo’s words, Tiantian suddenly fell silent.

She also doesn’t know any ninja who can possess lightning-attribute chakra.

None of the peers with whom I have a good relationship have mastered the rare lightning-attribute chakra.

“Sister Xiaonan, do you have lightning-attribute chakra?”

Subconsciously, Tiantian looked at Xiaonan with anticipation.

If Sister Xiaonan has lightning-attribute chakra, then she can definitely ask Xiaonan for help.

“No.”

Xiaonan shook her head slightly. She only had three types of chakra: wind, earth, and water.

“Ugh.”

Hearing this, Tiantian sighed.

What can we do?

“But Nagato does.”

And Konan chuckled and said, “I can let Nagato help you.”

“Eh!?”

Hearing this, Tiantian’s eyes lit up: “Is that the red-haired guy who came with you before?”

“good.”

Konan nodded and said, “And it’s not just Nagato. There are also people in the Akatsuki organization who can master the changes in the nature of lightning-attributed chakra. I can ask them to lend a hand to help. As long as you trust me, give me this coin.”

“no problem!”

Hearing Xiaonan’s words, Tiantian nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

It’s great that this problem has been solved.

“Hey, all ten exquisite jars have been opened.”

Tiantian looked very satisfied: “Starting next week, I won’t open any more exquisite jars. Just the things I opened today are worth every penny!”

Just for the Zanpakutō, I need to continue to practice and become familiar with it.

I will be busy next.

Then, Tiantian asked Xiaonan to sit down and have breakfast together.

After Xiaonan had eaten and drunk his fill, he left with the [coin containing a superconducting electromagnetic cannon] that he had opened every day.

Tenten, on the other hand, continued to communicate with the consciousness in her Zanpakutō seriously.

Time passed quietly.

Before I knew it, more than twenty days had passed.

this day.

Lin Mo stood in front of the counter of the shop, looking through the door at the still dense rain curtain outside, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

Today, I can return.

Counting the days that have passed before, and the twenty-three or twenty-five days that have passed, it’s almost time.

“Eh? Can we go back today?”

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Tian Tian, ​​who was lying next to him, scratched his head and said, “I don’t know if there will be any exams in the Chunin Exams.”

“Is this exam still important to you?”

Hearing Tiantian’s words, Lin Mo looked strange.

During this month, after Tenten opened his Zanpakuto, he went straight to the Akatsuki organization to spar with Konan.

He was even given special training by Xiaonan.

Nowadays, most of the people have reached the level of shadow.

The reason why I say most of them is because Tenten’s real strength is above the level of Jonin and below the level of Kage.

Only after activating the Zanpakutō can one fully become a Kage.

Moreover, compared to when he opened his Zanpakuto more than 20 days ago, it will take longer for a Kage-level strongman to maintain it.

With such strength, if Tenten goes back to take the Chunin Exam, he will still be bullied by an adult as a child.

“Uh, that’s right.”

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Tiantian’s face suddenly froze.

My strength has improved by leaps and bounds in this month, and I can fight back and forth with Sister Xiaonan in a short period of time.

The Chunin Exam was indeed not important to her.

“Then go back and find your parents.”

Immediately, Tenten narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s see how much money the root still owes my ninja tool shop.”

This time, she is going to take them all back when she returns.

Seeing Tiantian’s decision, Lin Mo pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

With Tenten’s current full strength, he should be able to kill Danzo.

Then, Lin Mo decisively chose to return, but returning also takes time.

It only takes half a day.

In an instant, Lin Mo’s shop disappeared silently.

Not long after Lin Mo’s shop disappeared.

Two figures came over.

But just as he walked over, a figure stopped.

“What’s wrong, Itachi-san?”

Seeing Itachi stop beside him, Hoshigaki Kisame looked curious: “Why did you stop suddenly?”

“Is there a shop here?”

Itachi, who had just returned, looked at the place where the can shop disappeared and pondered for a moment.

I also came back once during this month.

When he came back and heard that the leader’s spirit beast came to this street every now and then, he came to take a look, but found nothing special.

Because Xiaonan would sometimes come over and announce that this street would become a restricted area.

The reason was that he accepted a disciple.

They didn’t care.

But when he came again today, Itachi always felt like something was missing.

“Eh? Is there any?”

Hearing Uchiha Itachi’s words, Hoshigaki Kisame scratched his head in surprise: “No, I don’t remember.”

“Maybe I remembered it wrong.”

Itachi shook his head gently, “Forget it, let’s go. The leader was not in the village a few days ago. We will go to the Water Country next. The Uchiha tai is hiding there. You are familiar with the Water Country. This is why I came back to find you today.”

“Ah.”

Hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Hoshigaki Kisame nodded.

As the two of them left the Rain Village while talking.

The border of the Fire Nation.

In a certain forest.

Nagato, who had been waiting here, narrowed his eyes when he saw a summoned beast appear beside him. “Mr. Lin Mo has left the Rain Village. Let’s continue on our way. It will take at least half a day to get to Konoha Village, which is just in time for us to open the jar.”

After learning that Lin Mo would leave the Rain Village and return to Konoha Village in a month.

After opening the jar a few days ago, he and Konan decisively left the Rain Village and headed straight for Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

Because they have to control the time well, so that they can arrive at Konoha Village and open the jar before Lin Mo returns to Konoha Village.

Otherwise, if they waited for Lin Mo to leave before leaving, it would be impossible for them to cross the big country quickly and reach Konoha Village in a short period of time.

So after opening the jar, they left the Rain Village as soon as possible, left behind a summoning beast, and then went on their way.

At present, the spirit beast has returned to his side, which means Lin Mo has left.

And today is the day for them to open the can.

It would only take them half a day to get to Konoha Village and open the jar.

The timing was just right.

“After opening the jar today, you can open the exquisite jar next week.”

When Xiaonan heard what Nagato said, she nodded and said, “We got a lot of good things by opening jars this month, but none of them are as good as the exquisite jars opened by Tenten.”

Even during this month when she, Nagato, and a bunch of summoned beasts opened jars, they were only ordinary jars.

Although there are many good things that came out, they are nothing compared to Tenten’s Zanpakutō.

And Uzumaki Nagato was also very eager for the exquisite jar.

“Well, there are many ninja villages that have been renovated. This time we will come to Konoha Village to see the scale, and then go back to renovate it.”

“And hasn’t Konoha Village already started the Chunin Exams?”

“That’s great, let’s see if we can get rid of Danzo.”

The two chatted as they headed towards Konoha Village.

the other side.

Konoha Village.

The venue for the third Chunin Exam official match!

After defeating Neji Hyuga on stage, Uzumaki Naruto returned to the candidate room and the first thing he did was look at Might Guy.

In the end, there were only Might Guy and Kakashi-sensei, which made Uzumaki Naruto’s face turn green: “No way, I’ve already finished a match, why hasn’t Tenten come back yet? Does she not want to take part in the Chunin Exam?”

You know, if he doesn’t come every day, it means that Mr. Lin Mo hasn’t come back yet!
He was still thinking about finishing this fight and then going to Mr. Lin Mo to open the can.

The prerequisite is that Mr. Lin Mo comes back.

After all, a month has passed.

“Alas, Tiantian this child hasn’t come back yet.”

At this time, Might Guy had been squatting at the entrance leading to the outside of the venue. When he found that Tiantian had not come yet, he frowned.

You know, if Tiantian leaves with Mr. Lin Mo, he will come back in a month.

As a result, the Chunin Exam has already begun, but he hasn’t returned yet.

If you don’t come back, you will lose the qualification to take part in the Chunin Exam.

Fortunately, there is Kakashi’s student, Uchiha Sasuke, who serves as a precedent.

“Do you think that child will open fewer jars this month with Mr. Lin Mo?”

Looking at the frowning Might Guy, Kakashi said in a deep voice: “This month, he has opened at least forty ordinary jars, and even some exquisite jars. This kid’s strength is no longer that of a Genin.”

“When he was in the village before, he was already firmly ahead of the Chunin. Do you think it’s necessary to fight this kid again?”

“Forehead.”

Hearing Kakashi’s words, Might Guy’s face froze and he nodded: “You are right, but no matter how strong he is, it is still a loss for this child if he does not participate in the Chunin exam.”

“By the way, your student Uchiha Sasuke hasn’t arrived yet. Are you ready to give up?” While speaking, Might Guy looked at Kakashi suspiciously.

He can understand why Tiantian didn’t come.

Mr. Lin Mo did not come back.

But Uchiha Sasuke, who was brought by Kakashi, hasn’t come yet, and he doesn’t understand why.

“This kid should make it in time.”

After hearing what Might Guy said, Kakashi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “At worst, the game can be delayed again.”

“Ok?”

As he was talking, Kakashi sensed Sasuke’s chakra and immediately smiled and said, “Isn’t it coming?”

While Kakashi was speaking, he saw Uchiha Sasuke walking in from behind.

“Sasuke!”

Seeing Sasuke appear, Uzumaki Naruto immediately waved his hand excitedly: “Come on stage quickly.”

“Ah.”

When Uchiha Sasuke arrived, he greeted Kakashi immediately, nodded to Uzumaki Naruto, and went straight to the venue.

“he came.”

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke coming on the court.

On the other side.

Gaara, who was already waiting, narrowed his eyes immediately, stood up decisively, and walked towards the passage of the competition venue.

However, after walking in for a while, they were blocked by two ninjas.

“Kid, a low-level competition like the Chunin Exam is very suitable for gambling. Several daimyo came here just for this.”

“So, in this match, you have to lose this match on behalf of your Sand Village, okay?”

The two ninjas stared at Gaara with disdain, their tone full of commanding indifference and contempt.

They thought that the kid in front of them was just an ordinary ninja and would never disobey their requests.

One ninja even raised the corner of his mouth with a contemptuous smile: “As long as you do it, you will get benefits afterwards. We are working for the daimyo.”

However, Gaara did not respond.

Instead, his eyes were cold and empty, as if he was looking at two lifeless corpses.

The next second, Gaara raised his hand slightly, and a cloud of dust suddenly rose in the air.

Sand quickly gathered from all directions, surrounding the feet of the two ninjas.

“what?!”

A ninja noticed something strange and his expression suddenly changed.

However, before he could finish his words, the sand had quickly climbed up his legs.

Then the waist and chest, until the whole body was completely covered with sand.

“how dare you!”

“We have orders!”

The other ninja yelled in fear, but it was too late.

“Sandbound Coffin!”

Gaara spat out these words coldly, with no mercy in his eyes.

“Crash!”

The sand surrounded the two ninjas like a ferocious beast, and their struggles seemed insignificant under the pressure of the sand.

“Crack!”

“boom!”

With a crisp cracking sound, the sand tightened instantly, crushing the bodies of the two ninjas into part of the sand and completely swallowing them up.

Without the slightest pause, Gaara walked towards the arena with a calm expression, his steps steady and indifferent, as if the tragedy just now had never happened.

Anyone who dares to stand in his way will be wiped out by him.

Even daimyo are no exception.

When I walked onto the field, Uchiha Sasuke was already waiting.

“Game start.”

Upon seeing this, Shiranui Genma immediately made the announcement and instantly disappeared from the spot.

“Shh!”

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke rushed out like an arrow.

He was extremely fast and approached Gaara in almost the blink of an eye, and the kunai in his hand stabbed Gaara’s chest mercilessly.

However, just as the kunai was about to hit, a stream of sand suddenly surged up and quickly formed a barrier, perfectly blocking Sasuke’s attack.

The moment the kunai pierced the sand wall, Sasuke’s movements paused and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Sand Shield!”

Kankuro, who was in the audience, saw this scene and smiled: “Gaara’s absolute defense.”

On the field, Sasuke’s eyes focused and he launched another attack without hesitation.

He jumped up nimbly and formed seals with his hands.

“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!”

“boom!”

Billowing flames spewed out of Sasuke’s mouth and rushed straight towards Gaara.

However, the moment the blazing flame approached Gaara, it was quickly wrapped by the sand and turned into invisible ashes that scattered in the air.

“Ah!”

Gaara looked at him coldly, and with a sudden wave of the sand in his hand, the sand turned into countless tentacles and pounced towards Sasuke.

Seeing this, Sasuke quickly retreated, using his agility to avoid being surrounded by the sand. He dodged on the field as fast as the wind.

With a disdainful smile, Gaara raised his hands slightly and controlled the sand to launch a more violent attack.

The sand was like waves, constantly pouring towards Sasuke from all directions.

The battle on the field became more and more intense, with dust flying and air waves rolling.

The audience around was watching intently.

When the two men fought, everyone present was watching.

“Teacher, when does the program start?”

Kankuro watched the situation on the field while whispering to Maki beside him, “Gaara’s condition is very wrong. It seems that he killed someone before coming up.”

“It’s troublesome.”

Hearing Kankuro’s words, Maki frowned and whispered, “Now I just hope Gaara can remember the plan.”

Gaara was not in this state when he came on the field before.

How come someone was killed and blood was seen just by walking in a corridor?
Who was killed?

If it weren’t for the importance of the plan, he would have gone to that corridor to check the situation.

However, after seeing the Anbu ninjas patrolling everywhere, he gave up the idea.

The status of the Sand Village is precarious, and they must break the alliance treaty with Konoha and attack Konoha to shock the country’s prestige. However, now there is a problem with the plan, and he is a little worried about what will happen next.

Under Maki’s worried gaze.

Not long after the game, changes occurred.

As the Uchiha was unable to break Gaara’s absolute defense, the chakra condensed into lightning-like light in his hands.

Under the gaze of everyone, Uchiha Sasuke’s feet moved quickly, and his figure was like a black shadow, rapidly approaching Gaara under the gaze of all the spectators.

As Sasuke shouted angrily, “Chidori!”, the thunderous sound resounded throughout the arena, and dazzling blue and white lightning instantly lit up.

“boom!”

The thunderous force hit Gaara’s sand shield without any hindrance.

The sand was instantly torn apart by the powerful impact force, just like paper being torn into pieces by the electric current.

Gaara’s eyes widened, the sand finally couldn’t stop Sasuke’s attack.

His body was hit, blood splattered, and he took several steps back with an unprecedented expression of pain on his face.

Maki, who had been paying close attention, saw this scene from the stands and his face darkened: “Oh no!”

“how come!”

Kankuro’s eyes widened in shock, “How could he break through Gaara’s defenses!”

At this moment, a sky full of feathers suddenly floated above the stadium.

Feathers fell from the sky, soft and beautiful, like a quiet dream.

As the feathers slowly fell, the ninjas and villagers in the audience fell into sleep one after another.

The originally noisy arena gradually became silent, with only a few ninjas remaining awake.

“It’s an illusion!”

A Chunin noticed something was wrong and shouted, but it was too late, more people fell to the sound of his voice.

At the same time, the atmosphere on the platform suddenly became tense.

Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, glanced at the guards and spectators around him who were in a coma, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was frowning and observing the situation on the field when he suddenly felt murderous intent approaching from the side.

He turned back suddenly, his eyes sharp as a knife: “Fengying?”

At this moment, Orochimaru no longer concealed his true intentions and attacked boldly.

Orochimaru’s movements were as fast as lightning. The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, he had already taken out a smoke bomb from his sleeve and threw it to the ground.

“boom!”

The thick smoke spread instantly, billowing over the platform and covering the entire area.

The smoke obscured the vision of those who had not yet fainted, and became thick and sticky, making it difficult to even breathe.

At the same time, Maki, who was standing in the audience, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He knew the time to act had come.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand decisively and issued an order to the Sand Ninjas present: “Action begins!”

Hearing this, the Sand Ninjas who had already gathered could no longer suppress their nervousness and excitement, and immediately jumped up from their positions like wild beasts ready to attack.

In the smoke, one could vaguely see groups of ninjas from the Sand Village taking quick action.

Armed with weapons, they moved like ghosts through the smoke and between the auditoriums, quickly occupying advantageous positions.

At the same time, the Sound Ninjas who had been lurking in various places in the venue also began to take action.

Disguised as Konoha villagers, they threw flaming detonating tags in the smoke, instantly turning the stadium and the audience seats into a chaotic battlefield.

“Ah! What happened?”

Some people who were not asleep panicked and fled in all directions, trying to avoid the sudden battle.

Those Konoha ninjas who were not affected by the illusion also responded quickly and tried to control the situation.

But they were caught off guard by the sudden chaos and smoke.
