Chapter 143: Killing Danzo Yesterday, Killing Sarutobi Today!

Lee’s mind was a mess.

Just when Uehara thought he would have another hearty battle, Lee suddenly gritted his teeth and kowtowed, “Uehara-senpai, I don’t want to hurt you, please stop!”

Why did this guy kowtow?

Uehara was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Lee, we all do this for our villages. You should know that I cannot retreat anymore.”

Uehara looked at Lee, who bowed his head and sobbed. He softly persuaded, “Lee, stand up! I know that you can use that forbidden technique again, so let’s fight for our village so that we can be worthy of our position as a ninja.”

Uehara glanced at one of his side missions and thundered, “Lee, if you hold back, I will think that you are looking down on me! Stand up! Stand up now, or I will look down on you!”

Lee slowly raised his head and gritted his teeth. Chakra burst out on his body, and his momentum instantly blew away the audience seats, “Sorry Uehara-senpai, I will do as you wish… fifth gate, open!”

When Lee opened the Eight Gate this time, he had sufficient preparation and training, which meant it was much better than a month ago.

At least now, his body was able to withstand the backlash.

It’s a pity that Lee could only open up to the fifth gate. If he could open the sixth gate, he may be able to make Uehara a little bit serious. But right now, it was not enough!

“Konoha Senpū!” (Leaf Whirlwind)

A strong kick suddenly hit Uehara!

Uehara closed his arms and turned on the spiked defense. An orange grid-shaped dome covered him, and he allowed Lee to kick it!

A huge counter-shock force caused Lee to fly out involuntarily!

Uehara’s mouth hooked up. He flew up and slammed his arm against Lee. He took advantage of the counter-shock force to knock Lee’s body further. Lee flew away, destroying half of the auditorium.

Lee in fifth gate state only had an upper-level ninja’s strength, facing Uehara. There was no room for victory…

“Sorry, Lee.”

After Uehara defeated Lee with two attacks, he rushed in the Four Violet Flames Formation direction. If he did not hurry, the Third Hokage and Orochimaru might die together!

[Side Mission: Defeat Hachimon (Eight Gate) Rock Lee (1/1)]

[Reward: Strong Wrist]

[Strong Wrist: Increase the power and attack speed of your right hand with Chakra. The power is proportional to the amount of Chakra used with a minimum of 100 points. Cooldown, 1 second.]

Uehara didn’t know what to say.

Why call this skill Strong Wrist? Just call it single for twenty years. What’s more, he could already use Chakra to improve his power!

It was just not as precise as this skill.

Uehara flew into the sky above the Four Violet Flames Formation. He waved his right arm and slammed down towards the Four Violet Flames Formation while using his new skill!

Crack!

A crack appeared on the Four Violet Flames Formation!

The next moment, the entire Four Violet Flames Formation burst open!

The four Otonin vomited blood because of the Four Violet Flames Formation’s forceful destruction!

Orochimaru raised his head vigilantly, looking at the young Ame ninja who had broken the Four Violet Flames Formation with a punch, and gritted his teeth bitterly, “Uehara Naraku, you bastard!”

The First Hokage Senju Hashirama and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, which Orochimaru controls, were still beating Hiruzen. Just when the Third Hokage was about to fall, Uehara again came to disrupt his plan!

“Orochimaru, I’m here to help you!”

Uehara slowly lowered his head and looked at Orochimaru; he said, “Someone paid a very high price, so let me help you kill the Third Hokage.”

“I do not need it.”

Orochimaru shook his head; he pointed at Sarutobi, who could not fight back, and said coldly, “Don’t you see that I am about to kill him?”

“This is not a question of if you want it or not.”

Uehara looked at Orochimaru and calmly said, “Orochimaru, you should understand what I mean. No one dares refuse my help.”

Orochimaru, “…”

If it weren’t for this critical juncture, Orochimaru really wanted to use the First and Second Hokage Impure World puppets to teach Uehara a lesson!

It’s a pity that he was afraid of encountering the same thing four years ago… If Uehara summoned the giant shark that could devour souls again, wouldn’t he be at a loss again?

Orochimaru bit his lip bitterly and said coldly, “Uehara Naraku, let’s be honest, what do you want to do?”

“You can’t understand what I’m saying?”

After Uehara frowned, he looked down at Sarutobi, who was trying desperately in the distance, and his body instantly disappeared.

In the next moment, Uehara’s figure appeared behind Sarutobi, and a chakra broadsword appeared in his hand. This sword suddenly penetrated Sarutobi’s chest!

However, this old man, who was in his twilight years, was very sensitive!

No, he did not dodge the attack. Instead, the Henge, Kongōnyoi (Transformation: Adamantine Staff) that he was holding blocked Uehara’s attack!

“Your Excellency does not seem to make any sense…”

Hiruzen looked at Uehara and frowned tightly. He said in a deep voice, “These past couple of days, I thought you would be Konoha’s friend.”

“Sorry, Hokage-sama.”

Uehara sighed and said in a low voice, “Since Hokage-sama is dying, I will tell you. It’s because Shimura Danzo from your village has given us something that Amegakure cannot refuse! “

“Danzo!”

Hiruzen’s face suddenly turned dark, and he thought of his old friend’s style.

Many years ago, Danzo began to covet the Hokage’s position. Now, that shameless thing attracted Sunagakure, Orochimaru, and Amegakure to take action jointly to launch the Konoha’s collapse plan to assassinate him, the Hokage. He finally betrayed his village for his own benefit!

But now was not the time to think about this.

Hiruzen must first stabilize the enemy. He dodged the double-team of the First and Second Hokage and persuaded Uehara, “Don’t you know that Danzo was missing or even killed last night?”

While talking, Hiruzen stretched out the Adamantine Staff to sweep and temporarily forced the two Senju back!

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Uehara once again appeared behind Sarutobi, the chakra broadsword in his hand successfully pierced Sarutobi’s chest!

The Four Violet Flames Formation was broken, so Uehara has no time to waste!

“Of course, I know that Danzo is dead.”

Uehara leaned over Hiruzen’s head and whispered, “Hush, don’t tell anyone that I killed him last night!”

Hiruzen turned his head to look at Uehara with a shocked face, and blood began to flow down from the corner of his mouth.

Hiruzen’s eyes were a little puzzled, and he asked word by word, “Then what is your purpose in doing this…”

“I just want to kill you.”

Uehara stood behind Hiruzen, smiling lightly, and said, “For the greater good, Amegakure cannot be Konoha’s enemy for the time being. I have to find a reason to kill you, so Konoha will not hold me accountable.”

“You…”

“Okay, Danzo has not been dead for that long, so you can go find him with peace of mind!”

Uehara suddenly drew out his purple broadsword. Looking at the blood on Hiruzen’s chest, he whispered, “By the way, don’t say any stupid things about the Will of Fire. I have specially prepared a big gift for you!”

“…”

Hiruzen’s protruding eyes looked at Uehara fiercely.

However, in such a severely injured state, Sarutobi could no longer fight back and was even unable to speak. So he could only stare at Uehara with hatred.

After a while, his palm gradually loosened, and there were no sounds anymore.

This person held Konoha power for more than 40 years. He brought Konoha to the peak with one hand and then watched Konoha fall from the peak before dying.

The Adamantine Staff trembled on the ground, an eye was revealed, and glared fiercely at the murderer Uehara before it turned into a cloud of smoke…

Others didn’t know what Uehara said, but he heard it clearly!

However, a fist with white light slammed on the Adamantine Staff!

This Adamantine Staff, which claimed to be indestructible, broke into pieces and turned into debris.

Uehara glanced at the broken Adamantine Staff and snorted coldly, “I won’t even let go of a dog, let alone a monkey…”

[Advanced Mission 5: Kill Five Kages (2/5)]

[Reward: Unknown]

[Side Mission: Defeat the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen (1/1)]

[Reward: Skill Synthesis]

This was complicated!

The skill synthesis function was basically a lottery!

Uehara glanced at the system panel roughly.

The synthesis function can fuse three skills or summoning contracts and create a random skill.

[Side Mission: Defeat the summoned beast Monkey King: Enma (1/1)]

[Reward: Wukung the Monkey King (Vulcanic Wukong) summoning contract.]

[Summoning Contract: Summons Wukong the Monkey King (Vulcanic Wukong). Consumes 3000 Chakra.]

Uehara frowned, somewhat unable to understand, a summon with skin? So was it strong? Maybe he could try this when he captured the Four-tailed Bijuu in the future?

“Uehara, what is your purpose?”

Orochimaru controlled Hashirama and Tobirama to stand apart, in case Uehara summoned the shark that could swallow souls. If something goes wrong, he could at least retain some combat power.

“Do you really not understand human words? I am not here to target you.”

Uehara shook his head. Why would he target Orochimaru now?

He has already inserted the spy Kabuto at Orochimaru’s side, and he was waiting for Orochimaru to start fighting Black Zetsu to obtain White Zetsu. Why would he weaken Orochimaru’s strength?

One of the reasons Uehara killed the Third Hokage was that he was worried that the Third Hokage’s dying counterattack would hit Orochimaru.

After fighting Orochimaru for so long, he could be a good man now!

Uehara turned his head and looked at Orochimaru. He said, “Leave here! Or, do you want to take the corpse of the Third Hokage and reincarnate it?”

“Ho ho ho… how come?”

Orochimaru smiled and licked his lips. He said softly, “He was my Sensei. Why would I be disrespectful to him? I just wanted to kill him and let Danzo become Hokage…”

Initially, Konoha’s collapse plan’s purpose was to kill the Third Hokage while Konoha’s other suitable candidates were away so that Danzo could become Hokage.

In this way, Danzo could secretly use all of Konoha’s resources to support Orochimaru’s research.

Now his goal had been achieved.

Orochimaru has no reason to stay here and intended to betray his ally, the Sunagakure, by leaving Konoha directly.

Uehara glanced at Orochimaru weirdly and said softly, “Did you not hear what I said to the Hokage?”

“What?”

“It’s nothing!”

Uehara glanced at Orochimaru with a weird look. This guy had a very strong psychological quality, and he should not collapse when he learns about Danzo’s disappearance.

The Konoha ninjas in the distance gathered around, obviously not planning to let go of the two murderers who killed the Third Hokage.

There was a cold light in Orochimaru’s eyes directing the four Otonin and the two Senju to fly into the air and flee the scene.

Uehara seemed to have thought of something and shouted, “Wait, Orochimaru, you haven’t given me what you owe me!”

Uehara almost forgot, Orochimaru, this guy has not given him the Impure World Reincarnation technique scroll!

“Naraku-kun…”

Orochimaru chuckled in the air and shook his head. He then replied, “Next time, I can show you how to swallow a thousand scrolls… As for now, you should ask for more luck!”

“…”

Uehara sighed; Orochimaru didn’t even know that he and Danzo would be blamed for killing the Third Hokage.

As for Uehara himself, he was just an innocent and deceived Ame ninja.

Even if Konoha wanted to blame him, he still had to see if they had the strength!

Therefore, even if Uehara wants to use Oscar-level acting, he must first fight.

If not, after Uehara defeated everyone, he could blame Danzo for deceiving Amegakure!

Whoever has the bigger fist was right!

Whoever had good acting skills would have a good reason!
