Chapter 223: Chief Examiner of Sasuke

Before he left.

Deidara often had a fight with Hidan.

Deidara was half a retard and a fool. Hidan was a pure idiot and a fool. Therefore, Deidara naturally could not argue with Hidan because Hidan would lower Deidara’s IQ and then use his rich experience to win.

After losing this quarrel, Deidara slowly shifted his gaze to Uehara, which made Uehara’s heart jump.

“Hey, Uehara, where is your summoned beast?”

Deidara puffed up his mouth and gesticulated to describe the ancient dragon of Uehara, “It’s the one who screamed… Hurry up and blow up this bastard Hidan!”

Deidara tried to use his voice to imitate the Ancient Dragon’s cry, but he did not simulate any domineering air at all. Instead, he looked a little funny.

Everyone turned to look at Deidara.

What kind of spirit beast that so cute?

Uehara was also a little speechless as he glared at Deidara.

“Hey, Uehara, hurry up!”

Deidara stretched out his arms and urged loudly, “Hurry up and summon your summoned beast. This time, do me a favor. Next time, I can create a super large C2 dragon for you to play with!”

“No need, there is a problem with your aesthetic sense.”

Uehara shook his head and slowly closed his palm. He formed a summoning hand seal and whispered, “Kuchiyose!”

After a huge summoning seal was formed and the ancient dragon flew over in the air. Some people who had never seen the ancient dragon couldn’t help but frown.

That Summoned Beast was really huge.

And its momentum was amazing!

Even people like Hidan and Kakuzu, who did not care much about the Summoned Beast, could not help but watch as the Ancient Dragon landed in front of Uehara.

“It’s really shocking…”

Kisame grinned revealing his sharp teeth, “Uehara… The combat strength of every Summoned Beast of yours is beyond recognition!”

The first time they met, Uehara’s summoned the Deep-Sea Titan and exhausted all of Kisame’s chakra… But now, this Summoned Beast was undoubtedly stronger than the Deep-Sea Titan!

Deidara quickly climbed to the top of the ancient dragon, occupying the best position of scenery. He also pointed to Hidan on the ground and urged, “Quick, quick, quick, spit that guy to death!”

Unfortunately, the ancient dragon did not listen to Deidara’s order. Instead, it slowly looked around and waited for Uehara’s order.

“Let’s go up!”

Uehara rose into the air and landed beside Deidara. Sasori also directly flew up with the help of the puppet strings.

This was the first time Zabuza and Sasuke had ridden such a mount. They jumped up with a few steps, and their bodies were still shaking.

Deidara was like the master of an ancient dragon warmly greeting them, “Hahaha… hurry up and stick your Chakra on it. Otherwise, you might be thrown off the road. However, it will be very cool on the way!”

“…”

Uehara looked at him speechlessly.

The reason why this guy, Deidara, insisted on carrying out a mission with him was indeed to ride his Ancient Dragon mount!

Zabuza glanced at Uehara and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Where is this Summoned Beast come from? It seems that this kind of ninja beast has never appeared in the Ninja World, right?”

“The Ninja World is very big…”

Uehara chuckled and continued, “This is the Summoned Scroll that I got from Orochimaru. Who knew that it would be such a big fellow? It can be used as our flying tool to avoid wasting time on the road…”

“A scroll from Orochimaru?”

Sasuke frowned.

If he had not been forcefully brought to Akatsuki’s organization by Uehara, Itachi, and Kisame, but had instead joined Orochimaru,

Was there also a chance to get such a flying Summoned Beast?

To be honest, Sasuke was really envious.

This year, Sasuke was only sixteen years old. It was the time for youth to be hot-blooded. How could he not like such a powerful and flying Summoned Beast?

Sasuke found another reason to hate Itachi…

If not for Itachi forcing him to join Akatsuki’s organization back then, perhaps he would have possessed such an ancient dragon by now!

Of course, Sasuke wouldn’t know that the reason why Itachi forced him to join Akatsuki’s organization back then was because of Uehara and Kisame, these two fellows who weren’t good people, had clamored to kill Sasuke if he didn’t join Akatsuki

“Let’s go!”

Uehara lowered his head to look at the giant beast beneath him.

“Roar!”

The ancient dragon rose from the ground, flapped its wings, and hovered in the air for a while before flying in the direction of Country of Water according to Uehara’s orders!

After Uehara and the others left.

Everyone’s eyes involuntarily fell on Kakuzu.

Hidan said bluntly, “Hey, Kakuzu, where is your Summoned Beast? Let everyone ride on it too!”

“Shut up.”

Kakuzu interrupted Hidan with a low voice. He looked up at the dragon in the sky and muttered, “If the task is executed in this way, the travel speed is very fast, and it can save time and a lot of unnecessary expenses. It seems that if you choose a helping hand for the task in the future, you can give priority to that kid Uehara…”

“Hey, hey, hey, do you only think of money!”

Hidan angrily roared at his partner, “I hate money the most. Money is blasphemy to Jashin-sama!”

Kisame, “…”

Itachi, “…”

Mangetsu, “…”

Ringo, “…”

What kind of damned teammates were these!

Kisame, Mangetsu, and Ringo exchanged a meaningful look. Obviously, the three of them understood very well that this task of assisting Kakuzu was secondary. The main thing was to monitor or supervise Itachi.

After the group left, a space-time vortex appeared behind them, revealing Obito’s figure. In the next second, Obito turned into a space-time vortex again and followed Kakuzu and the others.

In this mission, Itachi received very generous treatment.

There were a total of four ninjas in charge of monitoring him in the light and in the dark. Coupled with the threat of Kisame, I believed that he would definitely be very obedient.

Kakuzu did not know that Kisame, Itachi, and the others who were assisting their team to carry out the mission were some undercurrents was surging. He was bent on getting money.

Kakuzu was such a pure person.

Kakuzu flipped through the map in his hand and the bounty manual of the Bounty Station. He said in a deep voice, “Let’s go to the Fire Temple and kill this guy named Chiriku. Then we can go to the bounty station to get the reward of 30 million Ryo. Then we can see if we have the chance to kill a few Konoha Ninjas and earn more money…”

Kisame chuckled and objected to Kakuzu’s opinion, “If I remember correctly, in order to avoid casualties, without Pain’s permission, we are forbidden from attacking any village, right? Even capturing Bijuu requires at least four members…”

“It’s just to get some Konoha Ninjas’ corpses for money.”

Kakuzu glanced at Kisame and said darkly, “If you are afraid of death, Hidan and I can go. You can go back now!”

They were the immortal duo.

It was really incomprehensible. Why did Uehara insist on letting this group of people follow them to make money? Since they were already here, they couldn’t just let them do nothing.

Akatsuki had sent out six people. They couldn’t just kill one Chiriku, could they?

Kakuzu looked at the bounty book in his hand and asked with a frown, “This guy called Sarutobi Asuma used to be Country of Fire’s Twelve Guardian Ninja. He is five million more than Chiriku. Itachi, do you have any information about him?”

Itachi shook his head and said, “I only remember that Asuma-san is the second son of Konoha’s Third Hokage. I don’t know anything else…”

“Itachi-san, are you serious?”

Kisame grinned and chuckled, “When we sneaked into Konoha, we met that guy. He seems to be good at using a Chakra Blade and Fire Ninjutsu…”

Itachi frowned and said, “Is there such a thing?”

“Of course there is.”

Kisame chuckled and continued to answer, “Didn’t you hurt Kakashi in that battle? Uehara was still an intern at that time. He was waiting for us outside Konoha. I remember that before we sneaked into Konoha, he borrowed a sum of money from you…”

“I forgot.”

Itachi raised his eyebrows.

“Hmph, you even forgot about money?”

Kakuzu snorted and looked at Itachi with disdain, “You can forget such an important thing as lending money to others. Your memory really doesn’t match your age!”

“Maybe…”

Itachi shook his head indifferently.

A cool breeze blew against his hair.

While the team was still trying to move in the direction of Fire Temple, Uehara and the others who were sitting on the Ancient Dragon had already arrived at Country of Water.

After all, flying was always faster than walking.

The situation in the Country of Water was a bit tense.

Because of the news brought by Mangetsu, coupled with the huge action of Akatsuki’s organization to capture Bijuu, Terumi had no choice but to be careful.

Unfortunately, Kirigakure did not find a suitable Jinchuriki yet, so they could only temporarily push Sanbi to a defensive place.

Terumi sent over a thousand Kiri Ninja people to be stationed nearby. A densely packed outpost almost surrounded the place where Sanbi was located. Even if a bird flew in, it would need permission from Kiri Ninja.

According to the information she got from Konoha, the members of Akatsuki’s organization captured Bijuu very quickly.

Before finding the suitable Jinchuriki and sealing it, Terumi could only use this stupid method to protect Sanbi.

After a night of flying.

In the early morning.

When Uehara and the others arrived here, they were also surprised by the number of Kiri Ninja’s people. They did not expect that there would be a day when ninjas would protect Bijuu…

“What a fool…”

Deidara used his small telescope to look at the densely packed Kiri Ninja on the ground and revealed a pure and flawless smile, “The entire Sunagakure has been completely destroyed by Uehara. How do they think that these people can stop us?”

“Shut up.”

Sasori looked at Deidara unhappily. What was going on with his teammate? Sunagakure was his hometown after all. Didn’t this guy know how to be considerate?

Why does he always bring it out to talk?

He really wanted to sew up Deidara’s mouth!

Uehara ordered the Ancient Dragon to land on a barren mountain. He knocked on his arm and said, “Alright, let’s find a place to discuss tactics first!”

“Do we still need tactics?”

Deidara looked at Uehara and revealed a dead fish eye, “Let this big guy fly over. I’ll stand on his body, throw down C3 and blow everyone up. Then, I’ll let this little brat Sasuke catch Sanbi. Isn’t that all?”

“That won’t do.”

Uehara glanced at Sasuke’s solemn expression and chuckled, “After all, I am Sasuke’s examiner. I have to clear out a suitable examination room for the students participating in the exam!”
