Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Undercurrent

When night falls, at Goku's home.

"Wow! These look delicious! Thank you haha!"

Looking at the bags filled with delicious fried meat in front of him, Goku clasped his hands together and thanked Naruto, the other two, and Rock Lee.

After saying this, he began to enjoy it happily.

Seeing him enjoying the food happily, Naruto and the others' originally irritable mood instantly became relaxed.

Why were they so impatient? Because they had been waiting in front of the fried meat shop for most of the day.

It's strange that they didn't think about how long it would take for a fried meat shop with only one employee to make the amount of fried meat they needed when they bought it.

The clerk didn't remind them and just continued to make it in silence.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late and they could only wait.

As for whether waiting too long will cause the fried meat that comes out of the oven first to lose its freshness.

Sakura said that luckily she had learned how to use the storage scroll from Kakashi, so she bought a scroll and put the fried meat into it, thus ensuring the freshness of the food to the greatest extent.

Finally, they got their wish and let Wukong eat the delicious fried meat, which made them feel that their persistence and hard work were not in vain.

At the same time, in an inn prepared by Konoha for the Sand Village ninjas who came from afar, four figures were happily discussing something together.

"Uzumaki Naruto? That's because you are such a loser. If I meet him, I will kill him."

After hearing Kankuro talk about what happened during the day, Gaara, the youngest son of the Fourth Kazekage of Sand Village and the current One-Tail Jinchuriki, spoke coldly.

After his father did many mysterious things to him when he was young, he gradually became a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty person.

At this moment, even when he said the word "murder", his tone remained calm, as if it was a common and established thing.

"Gaara, don't underestimate the ninjas of Konoha."

"Even Kankuro thinks that the other party is strong, which means that the other party is at least Chunin strength."

"Every ninja with the strength of a chunin has certain outstanding qualities."

"Even if you are very powerful, you must not let your guard down and avoid a setback."

At the side, a tall man with a white cloth wrapped around his head heard the strong contempt in Gaara's words and warned him.

He is Maki, the teacher of Gaara, Kankuro, and the yellow-haired woman named Temari during the day.

As a particularly capable jonin in the Sand Village, he is deeply trusted by the Kazekage.

This time he led three people to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams, which was just a cover. The real purpose was to attack Konoha and gain benefits from it!

Gaara is a crucial part of the attack on Konoha. Before the plan begins, his personal safety must not be compromised.

Any mistakes!

"Long-winded."

Gaara obviously didn't listen to Maki's warning. He just folded his hands and closed his eyes, as if saying "mind your own business".

When Kankuro heard that he was being treated as a waste by the other party, even though he was usually very afraid of his younger brother, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment, and his teeth were chattering.

"Okay, we will take this man seriously. Although he is very powerful, we are not pushovers. Kankuro, he was just a little careless."

Seeing this scene, Shou Le quickly came out to act as a peacemaker.

As the elder sister of Kanjuro and Gaara, she knew their personalities well and usually acted as a lubricant. By now, she already knew how to appease Kanjuro.

"Anyway, remember this: we came to Konoha for an important mission this time. For this mission, we cannot make any mistakes!"

Maki felt helpless about his disciple, so he ignored him and gave instructions to everyone else.

He was not afraid that his words would be heard by the people of Konoha, because not only were there people from Konoha guarding outside the room, but there was also a soundproofing formation set up inside the room to ensure that no sound could be heard!

On the other side, in an unknown corner of Konoha.

"Lord Orochimaru, you are finally here."

A gentle young man with long silver hair pushed his glasses and spoke respectfully to a beautiful woman in front of him.

"Hehe, Dou, how's the task you asked me to do going?"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his face, then looked at the silver-haired young man grimly.

"It's all done, Lord Orochimaru. Here is the general information you requested about the most powerful ninjas in Konoha Village today."

Kabuto took out a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru respectfully. Then he thought of something and added,

"Oh, by the way, there is a man with a mysterious origin in Konoha recently. He is training four Konoha Genin every day.

practice

"Oh? Is there anything unusual in here?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, three of these four Konoha Genin are disciples of Copy Ninja Kakashi."

"One of them is the one you asked me to pay more attention to, the survivor of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha!" After hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes widened.

Ever since he was defeated by the man named Uchiha Itachi, he changed the target of his reincarnation container to his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

Why did he use the two brothers as reincarnation vessels? Because he coveted the power of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. After seeing the power of Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan, his desire for this power increased to an unimaginable level.

So after his defeat at the hands of Uchiha Itachi, he turned his target to the remaining Uchiha clan member, Sasuke, and this time he came to Konoha with the intention of taking him away!

"Mysterious origin?" He looked at Dou and licked his lips.

Since it was related to his own life, he had to care about this mysterious man.

"Yes, this person appeared in Konoha about two months ago. It is said that Kakashi and his three disciples met him while on a mission."

"He didn't wear a ninja forehead guard, and the clothes he wore were also quite different from those of ordinary people."

"After much inquiry, I still couldn't find out where he was from."

"I went there to investigate after they left the training ground and found that they were probably doing weight training every day." "So I guess this person might be a relatively powerful physical ninja."

"And his daily activities are also very regular, almost just between his home and the training ground for those Genin."

Kabuto understood what Orochimaru meant and told him everything he wanted to hear.

"A Taijutsu ninja? If that's all, he won't have much impact on our plan."

"As for his identity, the old man would never let someone with an unknown identity into the village. The fact that you didn't find out just shows that you are not capable enough."

"When there's a chance, I'll ask that old fellow Danzo. With his intelligence gathering abilities, he'll definitely know the identity of the person you're talking about."

After listening to Kabuto's story, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly. "My ability does need to be improved, Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto pushed up his glasses, looking like he was willing to accept advice.

"hehe."

his obedient appearance, Orochimaru chuckled and turned to leave, but after a few steps he stopped and asked

"My ability does need to be improved, Lord Orochimaru." Guan pushed up his glasses, looking like he was ready t

o accept advice. "Hehe."

"By the way, what's this person's name?"

Dou looked at his back and slowly uttered a name.

"Sun Goku."
