Two minutes later, Uzuki Yugao sat under a large tree, dejected, her hands bound by a small rope tied by Chakan.
It turned out that I was already under a genjutsu when I made eye contact with that Uchiha boy. Fighting the Uchiha clan is such a pain.
I should have known better than to look around...
At that moment, when Uchiha Itachi had restrained Yugao, Naraku happily walked over and began a brutal search of her body.
"Cough, cough, Naraku, no one would hide the scroll there... It should be in the ninja tool bag..."
Itachi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he spoke up to remind her.
Why are you butting in?
Uchiha Naraku, hearing Itachi's words, reluctantly withdrew her small, fair hand. She then reached into Uzuki Yugao's ninja tool bag and pulled out their team's scroll.
Damn it, she took it. Could the mission really fail?
Yugao sighed, but didn't suspect Naraku of doing it on purpose. After all, what bad intentions could such a cute girl have?
As for the green-haired Rain ninja on the ground, they naturally couldn't escape their fate.
All three members of their team were tied up, their faces bruised and swollen. The scroll was now in Senju Chakan's hands.
"Great, it's the Heaven Scroll. Now we only need the Earth Scroll."
Senju Chakan chuckled, then put the Heaven Scroll away close to his body.
Itachi had intended to take the scroll himself, but seeing Chakan confiscate it directly, he didn't say anything more.
Whatever, I don't care.
"It's a shame, Yugao's team also has the Human Scroll. We can't use it."
Uchiha Naraku smiled, tossing the scroll from Yugao's team back and forth.
"Yugao? You know this girl, Naraku?"
Uchiha Itachi asked in surprise.
"Yeah... I've seen her before, so I guess I know her."
After saying this, Naraku took the initiative to walk over to Yugao and used a kunai to cut the ropes binding her.
Eh? What's she doing? Does this girl really know me? But... I'm not even familiar with the Uchiha clan myself.
"Yugao-chan, here, your two teammates are just unconscious. You'll have another chance when they wake up, so do your best!"
Naraku squatted down slightly and returned the Human Scroll to her.
[Congratulations, Host, your favorability with Uzuki Yugao has increased, gaining 20 currency.]
"Have we met before?"
Uzuki Yugao took the scroll and looked at Naraku's exquisite face. Such a beautiful girl, she would definitely remember if she had met her.
If it was a girl from the Uchiha clan...
Uchiha... girl? Could it be?
Yugao suddenly remembered the perilous encounter that night. Her teacher was trapped by the Water Prison Technique. If it weren't for that girl in the mask, she probably wouldn't be alive to participate in the Chunin Exams, right?
"You wouldn't happen to be the one who used Fire Style in the Konoha forest that night…"
Before Yugao could finish, Uchiha Naraku lightly placed a finger on her lips, interrupting.
"Shh! It's a secret, okay?"
Uzuki Yugao stared blankly at Naraku's smiling face, suddenly remembering the moment that the girl had embraced her that day…
Could it really be her?
"We have to go. We need to hurry."
Uchiha Itachi urged from not far away.
"This little Uchiha girl, thank you very much this time. May I ask what your name is? And in the future…"
Uzuki Yugao held the scroll that was almost no longer hers, and felt grateful towards Naraku.
"We'll see about the future later. If fate allows, we'll meet again."
Naraku winked at Uzuki Yugao, then turned and disappeared into the dense forest with Uchiha Itachi and Senju Chakan.
She said the same thing back then… So it really was her… That team is just too strong. Hopefully, we won't have to face them again in the next stage of the exams.
Not long after, Uzuki Yugao's two teammates woke up. They were very happy when they heard that the scroll was still there.
"Huh? That girl from the Uchiha clan was actually so friendly? I heard from my older brother in the family that the Uchiha clan is generally difficult to get along with."
"If we can really pass the exams, let's treat her to a meal!"
"Alright, we need to hurry. Let's change direction."
Uzuki Yugao composed herself. She had to advance here.
Otherwise, how could she live up to the hope that girl had left her?
Deep within the dark forest, Uchiha Naraku and her two teammates continued to advance.
Just now, Naraku's incredibly powerful Great Fireball Technique forced the enemy to move, and then she relied on Uchiha Itachi and Senju Chakan's taijutsu to launch a surprise attack.
They had defeated another team, but unfortunately, the other team's scroll was still the Heaven Scroll.
The Earth Scroll had once again eluded them.
"Itachi, have you found anything new?"
Uchiha Itachi suddenly stopped, examining a bush at the side of the path.
"There are broken branches here. They went northeast."
With a target in mind, the group quickly adjusted course, pursuing in a northeast direction.
Sure enough, a young man in his twenties, dressed in gray, soon came into view.
Just one person?
Uchiha Itachi frowned. He hadn't sensed any of the other person's teammates.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Naraku didn't care how many opponents there were. Even before Naraku had landed, the hand seals were already complete.
A fireball, over ten meters in diameter, resembled a miniature sun, radiating waves of heat.
The gray-clad Konoha ninja smiled faintly, showing no sign of surprise.
He quickly bit his finger, pressing it against the ground.
"Summoning Technique! First Rashomon!"
In an instant, a majestic gate rose from the earth. Carved upon the gate was a fearsome, blue-faced demon.
This seems like the First Hokage's technique?
As this thought crossed Uchiha Naraku's mind, the Great Fireball Technique and Rashomon collided violently.
The outcome was obvious: Rashomon was completely unscathed!
"Our opponents are formidable, everyone be careful."
Uchiha Naraku frowned, could this really be a technique that a genin could master?
Senju Chakan didn't hesitate, immediately bypassing Rashomon and charging towards the gray-clad ninja.
Before Chakan even reached him, the hand seals were already complete:
"Water Style: Water Whip!"
Instantly, a torrent of water, like a rope, lashed out towards the Konoha ninja.
The gray-clad ninja retreated quickly, but to his surprise, another Chakan on the other side of Rashomon also unleashed a Water Whip, aiming to ensnare him.
The gray-clad ninja was incredibly fast, managing to change direction again even under these circumstances, but another Chakan appeared above him!
Finally, Senju Chakan successfully used Water Whip to wrap around the Konoha ninja's wrist.
"You lose!"
Senju Chakan copied Uchiha Itachi's tone and shouted coldly:
"Lightning Style: Lightning Storm!"
The violent lightning surged along the Water Whip towards the Konoha ninja.
The raging electric current crackled.
But the Konoha ninja still stood there coldly, unmoved.
It was as if the lightning wasn't affecting him.
He put force into his hand, and Senju Chakan couldn't resist the other person's strength at all.
In the blink of an eye, he was about to be pulled over.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed, and the Water Whip broke.
Uchiha Itachi had arrived!
