Chapter 124 Rumors

"Chidori flow."

The little girl Kagura did not retreat but rushed into the ice spears created by Gray, using the Chidori in her hand to cut off the stabbing ice spears, while also shortening the distance between the two.

The action of the little girl Kagura rushing into the ice spear made the Kamui doppelganger in the stands very anxious.

"Hide... hide quickly... to the left... to the right..."

The doppelganger of Shenwei was so anxious that he could not do anything and wished he could go fight in the arena instead of his sister.

The companions standing by expressed their understanding of the behavior of the Doppelganger of God's Wealth. They all knew how much the Doppelganger of God's Wealth cherished his sister.

On the field, as the little girl Kagura got closer to Gray, the ice spear attacks became more and more frequent.

The little girl Kagura calculated the distance between the two of them, and transformed the Chidori in her hand into a Chidori sharp spear, stabbing at Gray, not seeking to hurt the enemy, but only to interrupt his casting process.

"Ice-Make:Block"

Gray jumped up and dodged the Chidori spear thrust by the little Kagura girl. At the same time, he created an ice block under himself and stood steadily on it, overlooking the entire scene.

Gray knew that he was lacking in physical combat and was no match for the little girl Kagura, who had grown up in war, so he deliberately kept a distance between them.

"Do you think I can't attack you if you hide up there?"

"The art of shadow clone."

The little girl Kagura created two shadow clones, which, together with her original body, attacked Gray on the ice in three directions.

Gray had no experience in dealing with shadow clones, and couldn't tell which was the shadow clone and which was the original body, so he could only use the most stupid method and defeat them one by one.

The three Kagura girls all opened their Sharingan and ran towards Gray in three directions. On the way, they drew out the Kusanagi swords at their waists and injected lightning chakra into them to form Chidori Blades.

"Ice-Make: Floor"

Gray slapped the ice under his feet with his hands, and the magic power penetrated the ice, covering the ground near the ice.

"I won't make the same mistake twice."

The three Kagura girls condensed chakra at the soles of their feet, keeping themselves tightly attached to the ice surface to avoid slipping like last time.

"If you think that's all, you're wrong."

"Ice-Make: IceGeyser"

Gray covered the ground with ice just now just to facilitate the quick use of subsequent skills.

The ice-covered field continuously sprayed out icicles like a fountain, attacking the running Kagura girl from bottom to top.

Soon, the first Kagura girl had half of her body frozen by the ice fountain under her feet. With a bang, the Kagura girl turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. It turned out that this was just a shadow clone of the Kagura girl.

The Kamui doppelganger in the stands has unconsciously opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. If an unexpected situation occurs, he will immediately use the Kamui technique to save people.

The other two Kagura girls soon also fell into the fate of being frozen, and they threw the Kusanagi swords in their hands at Gray unwillingly.

When Gray saw that the little girl Kagura had been frozen, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and did not take the Kusanagi sword that was thrown at him seriously at all.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. The two frozen Kagura girls disappeared into smoke with two bangs. Among the two Kusanagi swords thrown at them, one turned into the appearance of a Kagura girl.

The little girl Kagura took the Kusanagi sword beside her, injected lightning chakra into it, formed the Chidori Blade, and slashed towards Gray.

Gray looked at the little girl Kagura who was right in front of him, and it was too late for him to cast magic to resist.

The next second, the little girl Kagura's Chidori Blade was placed on Gray's neck.

"I lost."

The eighth round of the fight ended with Gray admitting defeat.

"The eighth round of battle is over, and the winner is Uchiha Kagura."

"Round nine, Reito vs. Ginkaku, both sides enter the ring and prepare."

Just as the Chunin Exam was in full swing, a piece of gossip appeared in Konoha Village. The content of the gossip was related to the human experiments conducted by Tobirama.

Hokage building, conference room.

"Hokage-sama, there is a situation in the village that I need to report to you."

The ANBU personnel entered the meeting room and signaled to the Hokage Madara that there was important information to report.

"I'll go take care of it. Excuse me."

Naruto Madara apologized and then brought the Anbu members to his office.

"What happened?"

Madara the Hokage asked.

"The thing is, there's been a rumor circulating in the village recently, saying that the village's Lord Tobirama is secretly conducting inhumane human experiments. We in the Anbu didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now it's getting worse."

The Anbu members reported what they knew to the Hokage, Madara, and asked him to make a decision.

When Naruto Madara heard that Tobirama was conducting human experiments, he immediately remembered that he had asked Black Zetsu to spread the news.

"Try every possible means to stop the spread of rumors and make sure Tobirama is cleared of all charges."

Naruto Madara deeply regrets his original choice and is now trying to find a solution to the problem.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

After receiving instructions from Naruto Madara, the Anbu personnel rushed to implement them, leaving Naruto Madara alone in the office.

"Ban, I have already done what you asked me to do. What do I need to do next?"

The sudden appearance of Black Zetsu made Hokage Madara frown.

"You are so brave. The Five Kage and Konoha's top brass are all here, and you sneaked in so brazenly. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Hokage Madara was very surprised that Black Zetsu appeared in the Hokage Building.

"Don't worry, they can't find me."

Hei Jue is very confident in his ability to hide, and at the same time he is disdainful of the perception abilities of those outside.

"Where have you been lately? I can't find you no matter how hard I look."

Madara Hokage pretended to be nonchalant and asked about Black Zetsu's movements.

"I have been doing what you asked me to do recently."

After answering, Black Zetsu asked back.

"Madara, why did you ask the Anbu to stop the spread of rumors just now? What are you planning?"

Black Zetsu was somewhat suspicious of Naruto Madara's actions and wanted to know Naruto Madara's next plan.

"I... You don't need to know my plan, just execute it seriously."

Naruto Madara pretended to be calm so as not to let Black Zetsu see his flaw and answered Black Zetsu with the same answer as always.

"Ban, now that it's done, there's no going back."

Black Zetsu did not completely believe in Naruto Madara, and intentionally reminded Naruto Madara once, implying that Naruto Madara could not turn back and had to continue fighting with him.

"Humph, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about it. Just do your own thing and don't meddle in my business."

Naruto Madara imitated his previous tone and scolded Black Zetsu for meddling in other people's business. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to kill Black Zetsu to prevent the matter from being exposed.

"Madara, as long as you have a plan."

Black Zetsu didn't notice anything unusual with Naruto Madara, so he merged into the underground and left.

Naruto Madara watched Black Zetsu leave and let out a long sigh. Naruto Madara felt deeply guilty for his previous irrational behavior.

At the same time, the thought of killing Black Zetsu was growing like weeds.

At this time, a rough plan had already been thought out in Hokage Madara's mind, but he was missing one thing, something that could immediately subdue Black Zetsu.

Naruto Madara figured out the matter of Black Zetsu, and remembered the rumors about Tobirama in the village. After thinking for a moment, he sighed, stood up and returned to the meeting room.

"Hokage, is everything going smoothly?"

The Tsuchikage didn't ask what the matter was, nor did he offer to help. He just asked whether things were going smoothly. This shows that the Tsuchikage is a very shrewd old man.

“Things were handled smoothly.”

Madara, the Hokage, was preoccupied with a lot of thoughts at the moment and was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with the Tsuchikage, so he simply ended the topic.

"Tobirama, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Naruto Madara goes to Tobirama and intends to confess everything to him.

When Tobirama heard that Naruto and Madara wanted to see him about something, he quickly stood up and walked out of the meeting room with Naruto and Madara.

Siying and Dazhuzi looked confused, but were too embarrassed to ask due to their status and the occasion.

Naruto's Madara and Tobirama came to the Hokage's office. Naruto's Madara looked around cautiously, leaving Tobirama confused.

"This is the Hokage building. No one can sneak in under the tight security of the Anbu."

Tobirama looked at the overly cautious Hokage Madara and couldn't help but remind him.

After hearing what Tobirama said, Naruto Madara realized that he was too cautious, so he sat down behind his desk as usual and said.

"Tobirama, there's a piece of gossip about you circulating in the village recently. Do you know what it is?"

Naruto Madara asked straight to the point.

"It's about my human experimentation. I know it was me who did it."

Tobirama did not hide it at all. As soon as Hokage Madara mentioned it, Tobirama admitted it.

Naruto Madara didn't expect Tobirama to be so straightforward and admit it directly, so the words he had prepared before were no longer useful.

"actually…"

"Needless to say, I know what I did has brought a lot of negative impacts, and I am willing to resign from all my positions."

Just as Naruto Madara was about to explain, he was interrupted by Tobirama.

"Actually, what I want to say is that there is nothing wrong with conducting human experiments. Everything is for the development of Konoha Hospital."

With just one sentence, Madara, the Hokage, changed the nature of Tobirama's human experiments.

Tobirama understood the meaning of the string music by hearing the sound of the strings. He realized that Naruto Madara had no objection to human experiments. He felt relieved and his tense mood finally relaxed.

"Tobirama, do you have any suspects about the person who spread the rumor this time?"

Naruto Madara wanted to test Tobirama first and then explain the situation to him.

"I have one, but I have no proof."

Tobirama counted the people who knew that he was conducting human experiments, and finally locked the suspect on Kamui.

"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. Just tell me who this person is."

Naruto Madara wanted to listen to Tobirama's doubts first, and then confess to Tobirama everything he had done.

"I suspect it's news of Kamui taking a walk."
