Chapter 148 Finals

The first martial arts performance.

Day three.

"If we go any further, we might enter Nagato's sensing range."

Revolver slowly slowed down and spoke to the people on his back.

"Are you referring to the strong man who possesses the Rinnegan?" Neji frowned. This place was still some distance away from the center area, but the chakra reaction a few miles behind him was also terrifying.

They are now caught between two extremely dangerous zones, caught in a dilemma.

“My opinion is to withdraw.”

Neji said in a deep voice.

In the past two days, they also encountered several scattered teams. If they couldn't defeat them, they would just yell at Revolver and run away.

In addition to the gift from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Neji felt that he had done a good job in his task of tutoring.

They are the only ones who have the option to withdraw from the competition at any time.

Hinata doesn't have much of her own opinion, and Karin completely listens to Sasuke.

Several people's eyes were focused on Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto scratched his head, "But... it feels like something is missing if it ends like this."

“I want to participate in the second round.”

Click.

Revolver said while eating his lunch bag: "Well...it's not impossible, meow."

"I know Xiaonan, the beautiful girl with blue hair."

"She also treated me to grilled fish."

……

"Revolver, you really are a big shot!" Xianglin looked at Revolver with shining eyes.

"How come you know people everywhere?"

Revolver puffed up his chest proudly: "Of course, otherwise where do you think I got my reputation? It's all earned by traveling all over the ninja world and eating one battle after another!"

"Are you sure there's no danger?"

Sasuke frowned, crossed his arms over his chest, and said seriously: "Nagato's strength is beyond doubt. If he has bad intentions towards us, even the Flying Thunder God Talisman will not be able to take us away in time."

After all, it is not an active skill, and their talismans still have a short activation time.

It would be fine if it was used against an ordinary strong person, but if it was used against someone close to Nagato's level, it would be too late.

"Alas~ Sasuke, you are usually very courageous, why are you so timid now!"

Not surprisingly, this is what Naruto said.

Sasuke snorted, "You're going to go even though you know you can't win. I'm not a hot-blooded idiot like you."

"Ha! What did you say!"

Naruto slammed himself against Sasuke, drooling all over his face: "Master, didn't you teach us that cool phrase? That's the way of the ninja that I want to follow!"

"Go ahead to dangers!"

Very passionate.

Sasuke wiped the saliva on his face and said unmoved: "Master also said that those who know the times are heroes."

"We need to analyze each situation on a case-by-case basis and overcome difficulties instead of creating difficulties for ourselves."

Sasuke rejected Naruto's persuasion and refuted it based on facts.

"There may be less than ninety people now. We can still advance if we find a place to hide."

"Instead of foolishly looking for the strongest competitor you know."

Naruto's face scrunched up.

"Well... you are right... but..."

"Don't you want to see the strong man who caused such a huge rift?"

The deep ravines created by Nagato Shinra's expedition are a new sight in the Forest of Death.

"What's there to see? Don't we see it often?"

"Master aside, I think Hokage is stronger than him." Uchiha Sasuke folded his arms and raised his head slightly, saying proudly: "The real strong ones are those who are watching outside the barrier."

"I will become a strong man like that sooner or later!"

Da da……

As he was speaking, a few drops of rain fell on Sasuke's face.

"It's raining?"

Sasuke found it a bit strange. He had made a strategy before participating in the competition, and Konoha should have sunny days these days.

When I looked up, I found a pair of white wings blocking my view.

Swish!

Sasuke immediately drew his sword and activated his Sharingan.

Several people with excellent combat skills were also ready for battle, and Naruto had already rolled meatballs in his hands.

Originally, he was unable to condense the Rasengan so quickly, but it was because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's gift.

"Wait a minute... cough cough..." Revolver quickly swallowed his lunch bag, shouted a little vaguely, and choked.

"Ahem... Don't be afraid, Xiaonan is not a bad person."

Sasuke did not put down his hand that was forming a seal and remained on guard.

In the view of the Sharingan, the flow of this woman's chakra was very strange, not a normal Five Elements Ninjutsu.

……

"Revolver, you actually came in too, who are these little brats?"

Nagato has just completed the renovation of the Kinkaku and Yinkaku, expanding Yuhu's technique and increasing its perception range.

Then I found a familiar chakra.

From childhood to adulthood, Konan has been almost inseparable from Yahiko Nagato.

She knew Revolver, and of course Nagato knew him too.

It’s just that Revolver doesn’t like this gloomy man who always has a dead face.

"Long time no see, Xiaonan."

Revolver paused for a moment, patted his chest and said, "I am Master Jing's disciple."

"Don't do anything stupid, we have a trump card, meow."

After Revolver stopped the few people from fighting, he also gave Xiaonan an appropriate warning.

Xiaonan slowly fell down and said coldly: "I won't catch a few little ghosts to threaten Jing, don't worry."

In other words, arresting people and threatening them is what Xiaonan hates the most.

Hey.

Sasuke took a step forward and pointed his short sword at Konan.

"Hey, hey, use the honorific title for me, Master Mirror, you woman!"

Naruto quickly dispersed the Rasengan and grabbed the corner of Sasuke's clothes.

"Sasuke! Don't be impulsive!"

Who just said that he who knows the times is a hero?

but……

"That guy is so rude, onee-san!"

Although he felt that Sasuke's words were too harsh, Naruto thought about it and decided to stand on Sasuke's side.

It’s okay to quarrel from time to time, but we still need to have a consistent attitude towards outsiders.

Seeing the little ones united in their hatred of a common enemy, Revolver began to smooth things over.

"Um... I don't think Master Jing would care about this kind of thing, and... this is Master Jing's senior sister."

"I forgot to tell you that Nagato and Konan are also disciples of Master Jiraiya."

"Ugh?!"

Xianglin opened her mouth and said, "I thought that the white-haired uncle who often wandered around the streets doing nothing had defected and joined the team of other villages."

……

"Wandering around the streets doing nothing is totally slanderous, Miss Karin~"

I saw Jiraiya walking up from behind Konan.

"It's fine that you little brats are participating in the competition, but you haven't left yet? I remember Minato gave you the key to get out."

"Ah! It's the lecherous immortal!"

"It's not the Lecherous Immortal! It's the Toad Immortal!"

Snapped!

Jiraiya flashed to Naruto's side and squeezed Naruto's yellow hair hard.

"Ahhhh!! Stop moving! The shampoo I use is very expensive! Don't mess up my smooth hair!"

The atmosphere didn't ease until Jiraiya appeared.

He stared into the distance and said seriously, "It's not suitable for you little brats to play anymore. Let's go now."

……
