Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 63 Talking
It's another early morning, but the weather is not very good. A steady rain is falling on the streets and alleys. The temperature is also lower than usual. Summer is about to pass and autumn is ushering in.

Tsunade and her team returned to Konoha on a day like this.

At noon, there was a barbecue shop frequented by Konoha ninjas.

"Naruto, that guy is really awesome. He actually helped Tsunade-sama cure his bloodphobia."

Ino was telling about the duel between Jiraiya, Tsunade and others and Orochimaru. Needless to say, the ending was that Orochimaru hurriedly escaped with one against two, and by the way, Tsunade's old problem was successfully solved.

Tetsuya couldn't help but murmur in his heart, didn't Orochimaru deliberately want to help his old friend?

With this thought in mind, he took a chopstick of barbecue and put it on Ino's plate, signaling her to eat quickly, otherwise Choji would take care of the rest.

This meal was invited by Tetsuya, nominally to celebrate his becoming a Chunin.

In addition to Class [-], Class [-] is also there, including Xiang Phosphorus.

They were all out on missions, and the time they returned coincided with each other.

"By the way, I heard that there will be a rematch in the Chunin Examination, and then the qualified candidates will be determined based on the situation. Why did you suddenly become a Chuunin? Shouldn't you also participate in the rematch?"

Ino asked again.

"Maybe it's because the Third Generation Master admires me so much, so he made an exception and promoted me directly."

he quipped.

"Forget it! I will definitely be able to advance to the Chunin in the Chunin exam next year, and then surpass you to become a Jōnin!" Ino held the wine glass in his hand, blushing: "You just wait, then I will designate You join my team and become my subordinate!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for the mountain jounin to guide me, a mere chuunin."

Maybe Ino's idea can really come true. After all, he has already thought of a plan to leave Konoha. When he returns to Konoha in the future, she may indeed be a Jonin and Tetsuya is still a Chuunin.

Perhaps thinking that he was perfunctory, Ino squinted her eyes slightly and gave Tetsuya a big roll of her eyes, then took another sip of wine.

Sitting diagonally across from him, Kaoru watched Ino drinking fiercely, and couldn't help but worriedly asked Hinata next to him:
"Is it okay to drink like this, Ino-senpai?"

Hinata smiled softly at her:

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

The team has carried out several missions together, and the relationship between Hinata and Karin has become very good. Especially since Karin has the same surname as Naruto, Hinata's attitude towards her is very different.

"Can I drink?"

Hinata was a little surprised by this answer, but she quickly came to her senses:
"can be can"

Kaoru was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the half bottle of sake from Ino opposite him and poured himself a glass.

"Ugh, this smells so bad."

Hinata couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction.

On the other side, Shino was sitting opposite Shikamaru. The juice in front of him was not touched at all, and he was talking seriously and seriously:

"I heard Shikamaru that you are going to participate in the rematch soon, so I helped you collect some information about your opponent, look."

Shino kept talking about all kinds of information about Temari, including her origin, personality, age, record, etc., and even the specific figures of her measurements, which made Shikamaru's brows jump.

Naturally, he was impatient, but Shino also had good intentions, so Shikamaru could only listen.

Fat Choji, who was immersed in the food, finally raised his head and spoke:
"I heard that the guy named Gaara will not take the retest again, what does Sasuke say?"

"Sasuke? His injury doesn't seem to be fully healed yet?"

Hinata interjected, naturally she was particularly concerned about the situation of Class [-]. When she mentioned this, she immediately remembered that Sasuke had been lying in the hospital for a long time.

"Is that so? It seems that the enemy is very strong. That guy Sasuke was injured so badly."

Shino was a little surprised.

Now among the twelve strong ones, Sasuke is still recognized as one of the top ones, with strong strength.When the Chuunin exam was interrupted, he had just injured Gaara, the Suna ninja. Although there was no decisive relationship between victory and defeat, everyone's default was that Sasuke was the winner.

"It was Uchiha Itachi who injured Sasuke. With that guy's strength, Sasuke is lucky to be alive."

At this time Tetsuya intervened to clarify their doubts.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Everyone made doubtful sounds, only Shikamaru was more leisurely, and had learned a lot of information that everyone didn't know, so he continued:
"Is it that Uchiha Itachi? No wonder."

"Huh? Shikamaru-senpai, don't talk half-heartedly." Kosovo, who had already drank until her face was flushed, suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing that she looked much more serious than Ino, she had already begun to lose consciousness: "I'm just doing this. I’m curious, who is Uchiha Itachi?”

"He is an S-level traitorous ninja. He killed the entire Uchiha family by himself many years ago. He is the brother of Sasuke Uchiha."

Shikamaru said solemnly, just saying this name made him feel a strong pressure.

"Really? Tetsuya, I remember the enemy you, Kakashi-senpai and Asuma-sensei met at that time. Kurenai-senpai was also seriously injured. That guy seemed to be screaming..."

Ino looked back at Tetsuya at this moment and asked.

There is nothing to hide in this kind of thing, Zheye nodded:
"At that time, I had a short fight with Itachi, and he suppressed me with an illusion. Fortunately, Kakashi and Asma were by my side, so in the end the enemy did not continue to pursue and retreated in a hurry."

"Then also on the same day, Sasuke, Jiraiya-sama and Naruto encountered each other. Sasuke was seriously injured. Jiraiya-sama failed to intercept the enemy and let them run away."

Everyone was quiet for a while.

Everyone always feels that what Tetsuya mentioned is a bit far away from them. Forget about the three guiding jounin, even Jiraiya-sama, the legendary three ninja, can't do anything to defeat the enemy.
"Senior Tetsuya doesn't seem to be injured much?"

Xiang Lu didn't know much about the world of ninjas, so he continued to ask questions with the help of wine.

"Haha, I'm relatively lucky. Although I was hit by a very powerful illusion, I didn't suffer any injuries. Even so, I stayed in the hospital for a day and went home to rest for a long time."

Recalling the painful experience brought by Yuedu, if he was given a chance, Zhe would probably not choose to take the initiative to resist.

It might be better to leave this opportunity to Kakashi-senpai.

"But what would be the purpose of that guy returning to Konoha?"

Shikamaru frowned and couldn't help but ask what was on his mind.

"Who knows, maybe he's targeting something in the village."

"for example?"

"Nine tails."

Upon hearing this answer, Shikamaru instantly felt a sense of relief that his doubts had been solved, but this relief was soon suppressed by the meaning behind the answer.

Tail Orc Churiki is the strategic weapon of Ninja Village, its importance is self-evident.

If the enemy is targeting Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
Teacher Asma also mentioned this matter. Although there are no details, Uchiha Itachi not only has a companion, but also an organization. He knows it.

"Will Naruto-kun be in danger?"

Hinata looked worried. Everyone knew that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was Uzumaki Naruto. She naturally felt uneasy when she heard that the person she liked was being targeted by such a dangerous enemy.

Zheye consoled him:
"Don't worry, Naruto is safe in Konoha. Those guys don't dare to rush directly to Konoha Village to harm Naruto. They don't have the strength yet."

Tetsuya wasn't lying. The Akatsuki organization's current plan had not yet officially started capturing tailed beasts. Collecting information on each tailed beast required time and money, as did recruiting manpower.As for whether he has the strength to rush directly into Konoha, he does, but whether it is the ten-tailed jinchūriki planned by Nagato to intimidate the ninja world, or the Eye of the Moon planned by Obito and Madara, all tailed beasts need to be gathered. , before ensuring this, Tiandao Payne will not go to Konoha to open up.

After listening to Tetsuya's words, Hinata breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party's assurance did have such convincing power.

At this time, Xiang Phosphorus shouted again:

"Ah! Where's the meat? Why is there no meat? Senior Choji, don't eat it! We don't even have enough to share the remaining meat!"

The drunken man revealed his true nature and kept calling everyone "senpai", but in fact he attacked Choji fearlessly.

Choji's chubby face looked a little aggrieved, and he turned his gaze to Tetsuya.

"It's okay. If it's not enough, you can order more!"

Anyway, there is a lot of money, so it doesn’t hurt to have a little more, Zheya is very generous.

The commotion of Xiang Phosphorus dispersed the atmosphere of discussing the serious events just now, and everyone began to concentrate on eating, drinking and chatting again.
