Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 119 Caught a Snake

Jiraiya, who was on top of the toad, had just greeted Morino Ibiki when he felt a pair of eyes fixed on him. With a hint of confusion, Jiraiya turned his head to look, and then he was stunned on the spot.

Kushina!

"Jiraiya-sama."

Ibiki Morino jumped onto the toad, interrupting Jiraiya who was thinking.

Jiraiya came back to his senses and looked at Morino Ibiki.

"Where's the Hokage?"

"At the Chunin Exam venue."

Ibiki Morino informed Jiraiya of Sarutobi Hiruzen's current situation.

"Is this so?"

Old man, don't die.

Jiraiya looked at the giant snakes causing destruction in the distance and decided to get rid of them first.

"Hey, little girl, you have great abilities, but you don't seem to be a ninja from Konoha. What should I call you?"

Jiraiya looked at Uzumaki Kushina and asked.

"I am indeed not from Konoha. I am from the Hidden Rain Village. I came to Konoha to handle the communication between the company and Konoha. As for my name, my name is Ku...Nana."

Uzumaki Kushina made up a name.

"Kunona, what a cute name. I'm asking you to help Konoha fight against them."

Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Uzumaki Kushina arched her back, and the next second she rushed out like a bullet, jumping around the giant snake very nimbly.

On the other side, after clearing out the people in the venue, Uchiha Xing looked up at the battlefield above, but at this time it was blocked by countless branches and he could not see the situation inside clearly, but Uchiha Xing could feel other auras.

The breath of the other world... The seal of the ghouls has begun, so this battle should also be over. I really want to see what the god of death in this world looks like.

The god of death in the barrier seemed to have sensed the existence of Uchiha Xing and the other one, but as a mind body, his mission was over.

With the Four Purple Flame Formation broken, Orochimaru was taken away.

Uchiha Xing helped deal with the last remnants.

A few hours later, the Konoha Collapse Plan ended completely with Konoha's complete victory.

Looking at the Konoha ninjas counting the losses below, Uchiha Xing smiled at Uzumaki Kushina beside him and said, "I'll make a list for you in a while, go and help them. We can't provide much in terms of construction, but for those who are temporarily homeless, we provide tents for rest and food. After all, we are all allies of Konoha, and if our allies are in trouble, we should also help them."

"Really? That's great. I was just wondering how I could tell you about this."

Uzumaki Kushina said happily.

"By the way, the Sandaime..."

Uzumaki Kushina asked Uchiha Hoshi tentatively.

"The Sandaime Hokage died in battle to protect Konoha."

Uchiha Xing raised his eyes to the sky and said.

"That's it."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded with a very complicated expression.

After confirming everything, Uzumaki Kushina took the list given by Uchiha Hoshi and prepared the goods.

Kakashi, who was helping to deal with things, was a little worried about how to deal with the temporarily homeless people next.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina rushed over with a lot of supplies.

"Hey, do you need supplies?"

Uzumaki Kushina asked with a smile, this child who was like a taciturn person back then.

"Hmm? How did you..."

Kakashi said as he turned around and finally froze.

"Master, Master's Wife!"

Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Kushina in surprise, then suddenly pulled up the forehead protector that was covering his left eye, and the scarlet Sharingan rotated in his eye socket.

Forehead....

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Kakashi with relief and speechlessness.

"Hello, I'm Xingquan Company's agent responsible for communicating with Konoha, Jiu Na."

Uzumaki Kushina introduced herself.

"I came here this time because I just reported the news to my boss. My boss said that during the reconstruction phase of Konoha, the company will provide Konoha with a batch of supplies. The Konoha executives have agreed, and I came here to find you to help distribute the supplies."

Uzumaki Kushina informed Kakashi of the reason for her future.

"Is this so..."

Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Kushina with some distrust.

"Do not worry!"

A voice sounded, and then an arm was placed on Uzumaki Kushina's shoulders.

"Jiraiya-sama!"

Kakashi respectfully followed Jiraiya and greeted him.

Jiraiya raised his hand and waved it, trying to make Kakashi feel less restrained.

"I have discussed this with the higher-ups. Don't worry. All the supplies this time will be provided by Miss Yuori."

Jiraiya was helping Uzumaki Kushina with her words.

Uzumaki Kushina glanced at Jiraiya and said speechlessly: Why is Teacher Jiraiya still the same as before?

Then Uzumaki Kushina withdrew her shoulder and pulled her own back.

"Have the villagers been gathered? If so, start distributing the supplies."

Uzumaki Kushina asked Kakashi.

"Not yet. I'm going to go find someone to gather them now."

Kakashi said, taking one last look at Uzumaki Kushina before leaving.

"By the way, girl, are you married? How many people are there in your family?"

Jiraiya spoke to Uzumaki Kushina in a very familiar manner.

"I'm already married, what about family..."

Uzumaki Kushina was silent for a moment, then she spoke up, "There are only two left."

"Hey! I'm sorry."

Jiraiya apologized to Uzumaki Kushina very apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Uzumaki Kushina waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing, and then started to busy herself with her own things.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Jiraiya looked at Uzumaki Kushina's leaving back and couldn't help but start to ponder.

On the other side, after dealing with the basic matters, Uchiha Xing took Karin and the others and left Konoha.

When leaving, Uchiha Xing noticed that two people were keeping their eyes on him.

One is Uchiha Sasuke, and the other is Hyuga Neji.

Uchiha Xing walked out of the Hidden Leaf Village and saw that no one was stopping him and no one was following him. He probably knew that Hyuga Neji had not told anyone else about his conversation with him.

There is hope~

Uchiha Xing's mood suddenly became very good.

"Oh? The teacher seems to be in a very good mood. Did you successfully negotiate with the person?"

Looking at Uchiha Xing who was in a very good mood, Bai asked.

"Well, don't count. After all, he has been in Konoha for a long time. It is impossible for him to betray Konoha and his family all of a sudden, but he already has doubts in his heart."

Uchiha Xing smiled and spoke.

"Then congratulations in advance, teacher."

Kimimaro said from the side.

“It may not succeed yet.”

Uchiha Xing waved his hands, indicating that it was impossible.

Karin listened to their words with a face full of question marks.

Wait what are they talking about? She's a teacher!

Karin was a little flustered, and then she carefully sensed the chakra on Uchiha Xing.

Although the size and concentration of the chakras are different, if you feel them carefully, you will find that the chakras are somewhat similar.

"Gudong!"

Karin swallowed silently.

"Hmm? Karin, you seem to be talking less today."

Seeing that Karin, who usually talks the most, was unusually quiet today, Kimimaro couldn't help but ask.

Uh....don't call me at this time!!!

Karin roared in her heart.

But on the surface, Karin smiled, and then said: "I was just thinking about Sasuke."

Just ignore me, it’s not easy to find an excuse!

"Alright, alright, let's go back early. Kakuzu has been talking about me since yesterday, asking me when I'll take Karin back. Kaori misses you."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and patted Karin on the head.

"Teacher~"

As expected, the teacher still loves me.

Karin raised her hand and wrapped it around Uchiha Hoshi's arm.

"You, you should pay more attention to your surroundings."

Uchiha Xing raised his hand and touched Karin's forehead.

"Hee hee~"

Karin smiled at Uchiha Hoshi.

On the other side, Orochimaru sat in his base with a gloomy face, looking at his unable to move hands, and kept cursing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm sorry, I can't heal you."

Pharmacist Kabuto lowered his head and said.

Orochimaru glanced at Kabuto Yakushi with a cold look.

"Damn old man!"

Orochimaru kept roaring.

"Lord Orochimaru, what should we do next?"

Kabuto Yakushi asked Orochimaru.

"Go to the rain..."

Orochimaru suddenly paused.

No, although Teacher Xing’s medical skills are very strong, that old fox is not easy to deceive. Moreover, I don’t know her attitude, and there is a high probability that she will not help me. So I can only find someone else.

Orochimaru thought so and soon thought of Tsunade.

"Go check Tsunade's location."

Orochimaru ordered Kabuto Yakushi.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Pharmacist Kabuto quickly left here.

Didn't Lord Orochimaru just say "go to the rain country"? But what are we going there for?

Pharmacist Kabuto raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, with a light shining on them.

It seems that we need to investigate the affairs of the Rain Country.

As Pharmacist Kabuto thought about this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

On the other side, in front of a slot machine on Tansho Street, a woman with wavy light yellow hair looked at the slot machine in front of her with a bad expression on her face.

"Hey! All hit! Great! Lady Tsunade!"

The short-haired girl behind me said happily.

However, Tsunade was not happy when she saw the slot machine with all the winning numbers, but her expression was complicated.

The next few times I won all the games.

"Great! Another perfect score!"

Shizune was very happy behind Tsunade, and many people had already gathered around her to watch.

For some reason, Tsunade began to feel a sense of uneasiness.

After coming out of the store, Tsunade almost decisively chose to leave.

However, on her way out, she ran into her old friend Orochimaru whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

On the Uchiha Star side, he had no idea what was happening over there. He was currently preparing for Fuji Fuyuki's new movie which was about to be released.

"The Adventures of Fengyunji? This name sounds familiar to me."

Uchiha Xing thought for a long time but couldn't remember where he had heard the title of this movie.

"I guess I got it mixed up again."

Uchiha Xing shrugged his shoulders and then began to deal with the movie pre-sales and promotion matters.

A few days later, Uchiha Xing was grilling meat, warming his wine and humming a little tune in his leisurely little room.

"Well? Since you're here, why don't you come in? Come in and have a few drinks with me. This is my secret roasted snake meat, and few people can eat it."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

"Huh! You seem so leisurely, as if you had expected me to come."

A hoarse voice was heard, and then the door was pushed open, and Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi appeared outside the door.

"Well, after all, I just received news that you went to find Tsunade, but were defeated by both her and Jiraiya. I think it's time for you to find me too."

Uchiha Xing said as he picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of snake meat onto the plate opposite him.

"Eat. If you can't move your hands, let your lovely subordinates feed you."

Uchiha Xing greeted Orochimaru with a smile.

"I thought you would chase me away or kill me the first time."

Orochimaru walked over with a smile and sat opposite Uchiha Hoshi.

"Ah~ Am I a very cruel person?"

Uchiha Xing said as he poured himself a glass of wine.

"You want to save your hand, right? I do have a way to save your hand, but what are you going to give me?"

Uchiha Xing supported his chin and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licked his lips and said, "What do you want."

"It's simple, I just want two people."

Uchiha Xing said as he picked up a piece of snake meat and ate it.

"who."

Orochimaru asked Uchiha Star.

Uchiha Xing raised his finger and pointed at Orochimaru.

"I want you and Sasuke."

Uchiha Star's words made Orochimaru stunned for a moment.

"I?"

"Well, I admire your abilities. I've studied your information. You have a great talent for ninjutsu and experimentation. I need someone like you."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

"Oh? Really? I thought you wanted to revive Nidaime-sama. After all, you and Nidaime-sama are old acquaintances. Wouldn't it be better to find him?"

Orochimaru said with a smile.

"It's different. If it were him, he probably wouldn't help me, but you are different. As long as the benefits are enough, you will definitely help me."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

"Really? But Uchiha Sasuke is a ninja from Konoha, and he is protected by the Uchiha clan. How can you be sure that the child will definitely go with me?"

Orochimaru asked Uchiha Star in return.

"That depends on your sincerity. After all, it's very troublesome to repair a hand that has lost its soul."

He placed his hands on the table, propped up his chin, and looked at Orochimaru with a smile.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Xing for a long time, then nodded and said, "Then it's a deal."

Orochimaru said as he stood up and left.

Uchiha Xing supported his chin and watched Orochimaru's back as he left.

Before leaving, Kabuto Yakushi, who had been following Orochimaru, looked at Uchiha Xing with a hint of curiosity, but found that Uchiha Xing's eyes were always on him. It felt as if Uchiha Xing could see through all his thoughts.

Kabuto Yakushi's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he quickly followed Orochimaru and left.

In response to Kabuto Yakushi's fear, Uchiha Xing just smiled casually and then began to arrange the next work.

"I remember the director of 'Princess Fengyun' said that he was going to shoot scenes overseas this time. I heard that he was going to the Snow Country. Why not go with him this time and see if we can come up with a project."

Uchiha Xing stroked his chin in consideration.
