Chapter 130: Do you think I'm as easy to deal with as Orochimaru?
Early morning.
Three days had passed.
Naraku Uehara and Naruto Uzumaki had chatted quite a few times.
However, each conversation would be interrupted, and Naraku Uehara repeatedly encountered the same predicament with Naruto Uzumaki as he did with Sakura Haruno.
Because Naruto Uzumaki was the purest kind of hot-blooded idiot, the difficulty of making him go dark was truly not ordinary. After all, Uehara couldn't easily reveal too much information yet.
The current Naruto Uzumaki only cared about two things.
He absolutely had to become Hokage and how to surpass Sasuke Uchiha.
For this, Naruto Uzumaki had even given Uehara an impromptu speech.
Naraku Uehara sometimes even felt like he was about to be convinced by Naruto Uzumaki. Since he already possessed great power, why was he still participating in the Chunin Exams here?
To hell with being a top actor, to hell with side quests, just transform into the great demon king who destroys the ninja world and charge towards one goal!
Who cares about Madara Uchiha or Kaguya Otsutsuki? If he couldn't beat them, he'd just fight with all his might. If fighting with all his might still wasn't enough, he'd keep fighting!
Fortunately, he still remembered Konan and Nagato in Amegakure.
So Naraku Uehara secretly ordered Kabuto Yakushi to search for a female ninja named Karin in the Forest of Death, so that when Uehara returned to Amegakure, he could take her with him.
Nagato would probably be quite happy to see Karin, right?
After all, Karin was also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, considered Nagato's kinsman.
As for what gift to bring Konan, Naraku Uehara hadn't decided yet. If worst came to worst, he would capture Danzo Shimura, or just kill Danzo and bring his corpse back to Amegakure.
Konan and Nagato would definitely like this gift.
However, this matter was not urgent.
There was still some time before the end of the Chunin Exams.
This period was the time for Naraku Uehara to lure Naruto into darkness, or to lure Naruto into becoming a rogue ninja.
Naraku Uehara couldn't help but glance at Naruto Uzumaki not far away, the expression on his face becoming increasingly perplexed: "Damn it, why does it feel like the difficulty of making a protagonist go dark is the same as winning a bet against Tsunade?"
This task seemed very easy. After all, Naruto Uzumaki's life was in a slump before defeating Pain. However, in actual operation, it was much more difficult than imagined.
Seriously, Sasuke Uchiha was quite easy to deceive.
The current Sasuke Uchiha was very interested in Naraku Uehara, and from time to time, he wanted to get some information about Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha from him.
If Naraku Uehara was willing, he could completely secretly denigrate Kakashi's weakness a few times, and then lure Sasuke into defecting.
Damn it, what kind of situation was this!
Now that the entire Forest of Death was under the surveillance of Konoha's Anbu, Naraku Uehara didn't want to ruin his persona.
If he wanted to lure Naruto into darkness, he could only find another opportunity.
Naraku Uehara glanced at the giggling Naruto Uzumaki in the distance. It seemed he would have to wait until after the second exam to see if he could use Danzo Shimura's identity to reveal the truth to Naruto Uzumaki.
Using Obito Uchiha's identity would also work.
Or he could try using Hiruzen Sarutobi's identity, or even Iruka Umino's identity, but this would easily leave flaws.
"What a pain!"
Naraku Uehara sighed faintly: "If it really doesn't work, it seems I'll have to find an opportunity to change my persona to that of a minor villain."
Just a minor villain, it shouldn't attract too much attention.
And a minor villain could also be easily redeemed, for example, by saying he was acting under Hanzo of the Salamander's orders or something.
As a performing artist, Naraku Uehara felt that redeeming himself was actually quite simple.
On the way to the depths of the forest.
After Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki worked together to defeat a team of enemy ninjas, they actually found a complete set of scrolls on this team.
Sasuke Uchiha asked with slight surprise: "You clearly gathered all the scrolls, why didn't you go to the tower?"
"Hmph, you'll know when you get there."
This team of genin didn't care, just sneered at Team Seven: "Good luck to you! Hope you can break through the defenses of those two guys!"
After saying that, they left.
Sasuke Uchiha frowned, the doubt on his face not yet dissipated. On the contrary, Naruto Uzumaki next to him happily put away the Heaven and Earth scrolls.
Every step Naruto took was towards becoming Hokage.
Naruto's happiness was just that simple.
Naruto Uzumaki patted Sasuke's shoulder and said with a grin: "Alright, don't worry, Sasuke! We'll know when we rush to the tower now, right? Anyway, no matter what enemies lie ahead, they absolutely cannot stop us from completing the exam!"
"Mm."
Sasuke Uchiha's brow immediately relaxed, but he didn't mention rushing to the tower. Instead, he turned to look at Naraku Uehara: "Hey, our agreement, it's time to fulfill it now, right?"
"Hmm?" Naraku Uehara narrowed his eyes and flexed his wrist: "It seems Sasuke thinks he's become stronger, strong enough to challenge me?"
Why was it that every time Sasuke Uchiha became stronger, he liked to challenge an enemy he absolutely couldn't defeat? This was truly one of the great mysteries of the ninja world.
"If I can't even defeat you..."
Sasuke Uchiha slowly pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and rushed fiercely towards Uehara: "How can I possibly have the strength to kill that man!"
A palm easily grabbed Sasuke's wrist!
Naraku Uehara followed with a knee strike to Sasuke's chin, instantly sending him flying. He looked up at the sky and slowly said: "Oh? What should I say now? The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and Sasuke thinks he's capable again?"
"Bastard!"
After hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha instantly became furious.
Naraku Uehara's attack wasn't too heavy. Sasuke leaped up, his eyes instantly turning scarlet, reflecting two black tomoe within his pupils!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A blazing fireball rushed towards him!
Naraku Uehara looked at the blaze, reached out to grasp the air, and whispered: "Secret Technique! Duskblade!"
A purple chakra broadsword appeared in Uehara's hand.
The next moment, this chakra broadsword shot forward, splitting the flames of the Great Fireball in two. Naraku Uehara stood amidst the flames as if they were nothing!
"Just with Fire Style ninjutsu, you're still far behind Itachi Uchiha."
Naraku Uehara casually leaned on the purple broadsword, looked at Sasuke, and continued: "Itachi Uchiha's Great Fireball Jutsu, I need to use defensive ninjutsu to block it."
Sasuke Uchiha was not discouraged.
Obviously, he had long known the gap between himself and Itachi Uchiha. How could four years of effort so easily catch up to Itachi Uchiha?
Even though Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth in hatred late every night, he had to admit that he had always been chasing Itachi Uchiha's footsteps since he was young. Even his father, Fugaku Uchiha, never thought he could catch up to Itachi Uchiha.
"I will prove that I won't just catch up to him, I will definitely surpass him!"
The veins on Sasuke Uchiha's forehead bulged. A fierce look flashed across his youthful face as he held two fingers to his lips: "No, I will definitely kill him! Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Balls of flame erupted from Sasuke's mouth, shooting rapidly towards Naraku Uehara. The temperature of the Phoenix Flower was clearly lower than the Great Fireball, relying only on quantity to be fierce!
Sasuke Uchiha had anticipated the weakness of this technique; he had only used it as a feint!
While Naraku Uehara raised his purple broadsword to cut down the fireballs, Sasuke threw several kunai.
Each kunai had thin threads wrapped around it.
It was impossible for anyone to notice the existence of these threads; one could easily fall into Sasuke's trap if not careful!
Naraku Uehara's eyebrows twitched. He glanced at Sasuke Uchiha: "Oh? Are you trying to use the same trick you used on Orochimaru against me?"
In the battle a few days ago, Orochimaru had been attracted by such a combat-savvy Sasuke, which was why he had targeted Sasuke's body.
Naraku Uehara's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, reappearing behind Sasuke in a flash step. He kicked Sasuke's calf, instantly knocking him to the ground!
Naraku Uehara extended the purple broadsword in his hand and placed it on Sasuke's body: "You're using the tactics you used against Orochimaru on me, are you looking down on me too much?"
"Then you've guessed wrong!"
Sasuke Uchiha did an inverted flip on the ground, kicking Naraku Uehara's body, trying to use the force to kick Naraku Uehara into the air!
It was precisely the taijutsu Sasuke had copied from Rock Lee, Shadow of the Dancing Leaf.
They had fought before the Chunin Exams. Although Sasuke was defeated miserably, he still learned something.
Naraku Uehara's body was as unmovable as Mount Tai, and there was even a hint of confusion on his face: "What are you doing?"
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to jump back.
But the next second, Naraku Uehara disappeared from in front of him, reappeared behind him, and swung his palm, heavily striking Sasuke down!
"You lose."
Naraku Uehara announced the outcome expressão.
