Chapter 131: Unbreakable Defense
Forged in pain!
It was a sentence that really fit Sasuke’s life.
Receiving this generous reward, the first thought Uehara had was, which hero said this sentence?
He wasn’t sure.
Uehara started to think deeper. As per the previous inheritance missions, Sasuke’s current mission rewards would be related to fire-release ninjutsu. That was to say, it would be a hero with the attribute of fire.
If it didn’t work, then it would be a hero with thunder attributes.
Uehara tentatively called out two names, “The Dark Child Annie, The Burning Vengeance Brand…”
[Mission complete. You have unlocked the Legacy of Heroes.]
Uehara has long become accustomed to all of this, but his face still showed a little happiness when he saw the four skills.
[Flame Brand: Launch a fireball. Upon contact, this fireball detonates and fills the surrounding area with fire. Consumes a minimum of 50 Chakra. Cooldown, 3 seconds.]
[Pillar of Flame: After a delay of 0.6 seconds, create a pillar of flame in the target area that burns everything in it. Consumes a minimum of 60 Chakra. Cooldown, 4 seconds.]
[Conflagration: Conjure a strong blast of flames from the enemy’s body, burning the enemy’s body. Consumes a minimum of 70 Chakra. Cooldown, 4 seconds.]
[Pyroclasm: Shoot a flame seed towards your target that spreads seeds to up to 5 nearby enemies, which can then spread further. Consumes a minimum of 100 Chakra points. Cooldown, 40 seconds.]
Starting today, Uehara could call himself a Fire Ninjutsu User.
The fire skills he got from this hero inheritance were very powerful, especially Conflagration. It summoned flames from his enemies without warning, which was the kind of attack he liked most!
Of course, the most terrifying skill was Pyroclasm. As long as Uehara had enough Chakra, the Pyroclasm could spread across the entire battlefield!
The only problem was…
A water wall could probably block it.
“Forget it. When I go back, I will experiment with Kisame.”
Uehara looked down at Sasuke, who he had defeated, his face became kind again, and he waved his hand to heal Sasuke’s injuries.
When Sakura, next to Uehara, saw him heal all of Sasuke’s injuries with a wave of his hand, she bit her lip and softly said, “Medical ninjutsu should be easy to learn. It can also help Sasuke-kun and Naruto…”
Sakura didn’t know that not all medical ninjutsu was as easy and effective as Uehara’s. Even the current Tsunade couldn’t do it.
Uehara ignored Sakura as he looked at Sasuke with a smile. His attitude had changed from his cold to warm, “Sasuke, although your strength is still a little worse, you do not lack talent nor hard work. You will surpass Itachi soon.”
Regardless of the truth, he just wanted to say something nice!
Sasuke was a leek seedling that Uehara really wanted to keep in preparation for future harvests.
“…”
Sasuke obviously hadn’t adapted to Uehara’s change of tone yet. His emotions faded quickly, and he even said with disappointment, “But I can’t even beat you…”
“Isn’t it normal for me to win?”
Uehara chuckled, patted Sasuke on the shoulder, and said, “Hehehe, actually, I was only twelve years old when I lost to Itachi. Now even if Itachi stands in front of me, it would be hard to determine who would win if we fight!”
“You’re sixteen years old…”
Although Sasuke knew that Uehara was motivating him, Sasuke began to lower his head and said solemnly, “I don’t want to defeat Uchiha Itachi four years later. I can’t wait that long!”
“…”
The expression on Uehara’s face suddenly stiffened.
Four years later, whether Sasuke could beat Itachi was still in question. This guy was even worse than Uehara expected!
“Okay, let’s not talk about it.”
Uehara turned his head to look at Naruto. With a more kind smile on his face, he said, “Naruto, do you need me to give you pointers?”
“Hey, really?”
The expression on Naruto’s face instantly became joyful.
After Naruto agreed, Sakura, next to him, hit Naruto’s head with a punch, “Naruto, we were still taking the exam! The Chunin exam will be over soon, and you can just wait until after the exam is over to challenge Uehara!”
Naruto suddenly felt aggrieved, “But Sasuke…”
Sakura slammed down another punch, “Sasuke-kun asked Uehara-senpai about important things! Don’t waste time!”
Sakura’s double standard was really intense.
Under the pressure of the pink-haired girl, Naruto temporarily gave up the idea of ??fighting with Uehara and rushed to the central tower to complete the second exam.
Uehara’s expression gradually became a little weird. Over the past few days, Sakura had ruined several opportunities. Sooner or later, this account would have to be settled…
Of course, Sakura may not be able to bear it when he decides to settle the bill, or should it be passed to Sakura’s future teacher?
Forest of Death. Central Tower.
Many teams had gathered here, and battles were happening all the time since teams with the required scrolls couldn’t enter the tower. The arrival of teams that didn’t have the scrolls immediately started a fight!
Even though the test prohibited random team formation and forming alliances, ninjas from the same village could temporarily stay together to avoid being besieged by others.
Since most of the ninjas who had joined were Konoha’s allies, no one from Konoha stopped them.
As newcomers of similar ages, Konoha’s third, eighth and tenth team naturally gathered together and became one of the two most powerful forces near the forest of death tower.
As for another powerful force, it was naturally Gaara’s team from the Sunagakure simply because Gaara’s yellow sand defense was too strong, and it was the most recognized by the ninjas.
No, Gaara was not the strongest yet.
The strongest Genin should be the white-haired boy who stopped them from entering the tower. His speed and strength were so high that even Gaara’s sand armor could not defend against it!
That boy was an Ame genius named Kaguya Kimimaro!
Defeating Kimimaro and entering the central tower was the question that had been bothering Gaara for the past few days. It also plagued the Konoha ninjas, including Neji, Shikamaru, and Shino.
“Is that Kaguya Kimimaro a natural war machine?”
Kiba’s expression was very incomprehensible. He slammed his fist on the ground and said coldly, “It’s the last day, and his focus hasn’t relaxed!”
“His speed is also very fast.”
Neji glanced at Hinata sitting in the corner and continued in a low voice, “Even if I can see through his movements with Byakugan, it’s too difficult to keep up with his movements… and there was another guy who has an ice release.”
“That’s not the biggest problem. “
Shikamaru covered his face with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, “If I remember correctly, the Uehara Naraku who defeated us on the first day of the exam is also their companion, right?”
“Yes.”
Rock Lee nodded with a serious expression, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said in a deep voice, “Facing the white-haired guy, I still have the confidence to fight him… but facing Uehara Naraku, I could hardly fight back!”
Shino slowly said from the corner, “I have the same opinion. I’ve set up a trap with poisonous insects outside, hoping to prevent Uehara Naraku from meeting with them.”
Ino had a rare and serious tone, “Why don’t we wait for team 7 to come over! With the strengths of Sasuke-kun and Neji-senpai, the two strongest newcomers, we should be able to defeat the handsome white-haired guy, right?”
“…”
Neji was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly and said, “Even if Sharingan can see through his movements, Sasuke’s speed…”
After all, Rock Lee had beaten Sasuke through speed alone, and Neji often beat Lee in speed during training sessions!
Rock Lee glanced at Neji next to him, then he hesitated and said, “Actually, there was a hope of breaking through. I still have a move specifically reserved for Neji, which should be able to defeat him…”
“Lee!”
Tenten suddenly interrupted Lee’s words.
“That trick causes a lot of damage to your body, right?”
The girl next to him watched this scene thoughtfully. After exposing Lee’s thoughts, she scanned everyone present and said softly, “The two of them seem like they are cooperating, but in fact, they were just using their opponents to practice their skills, right?”
This was half true.
Haku’s ice release was a long-range attack type.
Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku continued to show his unrivaled physical power, but it was in no way inferior in ranged attacks!
Their inability to break through the defenses of Kimimaro and Haku was no lie, but it was indeed true that they could improve their strength by fighting against the ninja teams near the tower.
“Let me remind everyone.”
Shino pushed his little sunglasses and whispered, “Standing across from us are two bloodline ninjas and an enemy who may attack us at any time.”
Kiba sighed and said, “But if we don’t increase our combat power, we may not be able to break the defenses of these two guys! Can’t we cooperate with those three guys from the Sunagakure?”
“If we can use them, I wouldn’t object.”
Shikamaru chuckled lightly and leaned under a tree, “If I can easily pass the Chunin exam by using Sand Ninja, why not?”
Shikamaru was a lazy person.
The key was that Ino and Choji beside him nodded too.
It’s a pity that these newcomers seem humble, but in fact, they were not easily convinced by anyone.
They discussed that for a long time, but there was no result. Instead, two other teams attacked them, but these Konoha ninjas were used to it and easily defeated their enemies.
They planned to regain their strength and then go face Kimimaro again.
At that point, Team 8, in charge of peripheral investigations during the battle, came back. They brought back two pieces of news, and one was not particularly good, and the other was very bad.
Kiba’s face had a bit of a smile on it, just like his mood, “Ha, we brought back two pieces of news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Then let’s listen to the good news first!”
Shikamaru chuckled and said, “It’s Sasuke and Naruto from Team 7, right?”
“Right.”
The smile on Kiba’s face gradually faded, but he still continued, “Hey, Shikamaru, do you want to guess the second piece of news?”
“Considering how scared you guys are.”
The smile on Shikamaru’s face suddenly changed into a wry smile, “Hey, was that guy Uehara Naraku there, too?”
