Naruto's strongest wooden escape

In order to explore the movements of the Uchiha Festival without being discovered, Jiraiya channeled a miniature toad.

After listening to Jiraiya's order, Toad nodded and jumped towards Naraku Tavern.

A corner of the tavern.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Matsuri exchanged a few greetings and chatted for a long time. Seeing that the conversation was getting as heated as they expected, Uchiha Fugaku gradually turned the topic to Jiraiya.

After Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Matsuri drank a glass of sake, they tapped the table with their right index finger: "Matsura, how are you doing at Jiraiya's house?"

"Jiraiya-sensei is very good to me." Uchiha Matsuri said casually.

"Speaking of Jiraiya, over the years, I have always felt a little guilty towards you." Uchiha Fugaku looked guilty, "After my parents passed away, I failed to fulfill my responsibility as an older brother and actually let my own My biological brother has been raised by foreigners."

Saying that, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Uchiha Matsuri.

Glancing at the apologetic Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Matsuri couldn't help but snorted inwardly.

But at least, on the surface, Uchiha Matsuri did not intend to break up with this brother who was related by blood.

After helping Uchiha Fugaku up, Uchiha Matsuri quickly expressed his stance.

"Haha." Uchiha Matsuri pretended to be drunk, "Brother, you are really embarrassing me."

"So what about foreigners? My eyes, my hair color and the blood flowing in my body all the time can prove that I have always been a member of the Uchiha clan."

"Well said!" Uchiha Fugaku extended his thumb and praised, "As expected of my younger brother, his ideological consciousness is as high as mine."

Nima, does my high political consciousness have anything to do with being your brother?

Secretly despising Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Matsuri just smiled slightly awkwardly.

"Masatsu, since you strongly recognize the Uchiha family in your heart, do you know the current situation of the Uchiha family?" Uchiha Fugaku pretended to be nonchalant and whispered.

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku finally got to the point, Uchiha Matsuri no longer planned to continue entangled with Uchiha Fugaku.

Without answering the question raised by Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Matsuri "accidentally" looked at his watch, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, brother, it's already past seven o'clock. If I don't go back, I'm afraid Jiraiya-sama will..." You have to worry about me."

"Ah, I almost forgot the time." Uchiha Fugaku smiled awkwardly, "I really enjoyed talking to you today. It's already past seven o'clock before I know it."

After a brief farewell, Uchiha Matsuri walked out of the tavern in the night and the sound of cicadas.

After seeing Uchiha Matsuri walking out of the tavern, Uchiha Fugaku's face instantly dropped.

"Patriarch, it seems that your brother doesn't want to talk about that topic." A drunk man at the table next to him suddenly stood up and said seriously.

"The time is not yet ripe." Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said, "It seems that we will have to spend time in the future to contact him and establish a relationship."

outside the pub.

The toad that had been monitoring the Uchiha Festival jumped back.

"How's it going? What did Matsuri do in the tavern?" Jiraiya asked impatiently when he saw the psychic beast coming back.

"Your apprentice met with the new leader of the Uchiha clan." Toad opened his mouth and said, "But I didn't hear what they said specifically."

For fear of exposing his whereabouts, Jiraiya did not let this person

The psychic beast was too close to the Uchiha Festival.Therefore, Toad did not hear the conversation between Uchiha Matsuri and Uchiha Fugaku.

"Uchiha Fugaku?" Jiraiya said to himself thoughtfully.

Although it was unclear why the Third Hokage asked him to adopt Uchiha Matsuri, Jiraiya, who was not too stupid, could naturally see that the Third Hokage did not want Uchiha Matsuri to get too close to the Uchiha clan.

Seeing Uchiha Matsuri walking out of the Naraku Tavern alone and walking towards Jiraiya's house, Jiraiya's clone and the psychic beast instantly disappeared into the night.

In the living room of Jiraiya's house.

After receiving the message from the shadow clone, Jiraiya shook his head.

Could it be that the Uchiha clan has some ulterior motive in contacting the Uchiha Festival at this time?

After a while, the sound of Uchiha Matsuri opening the door came.

"It's so late, Matsuri, why are you back?" Jiraiya asked knowingly.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I just had dinner with my brother, so I came back a little late." Uchiha Matsuri said honestly.

"With your brother?" Jiraiya nodded and said casually,

Then he looked at Uchiha Matsuri kindly and said, "Since you have already eaten, I will no longer cook for you alone."

"Ah."

"Also, children are not allowed to drink!" Jiraiya reminded casually, seeing Uchiha Matsuri's face turn red after drinking.

"understood."

Looking at the back of Uchiha going up the stairs, Jiraiya thought with complicated emotions.

Although he didn't know what Uchiha Fugaku's purpose was, at least Uchiha Matsuri didn't hide his meeting with Uchiha Fugaku tonight.

It seems that the most suspicious one at the moment is Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Matsuri, who was going up the stairs, didn't know that telling the truth would subtly reduce Jiraiya's suspicion of him.

a few days later.

The first chunin exam after the end of World War II officially began.Due to the large number of participants, Konoha, together with Sunagakure and Kirigakure, temporarily decided to set up a qualifier.

The rules of the preliminaries are very simple, three people form a group and choose a team to fight.As long as one group surrenders or is defeated, the other group will be qualified to advance to the main Chunin Examination.

The failed group can take part in the second Chunin exam half a year later.

After seeing the notice in front of the examination room, most of the genin taking the examination were miserable.

"It's really troublesome. We actually held a temporary qualifier. I think we should compete next time!" Nara Shikaku frowned and curled his lips.

"Just the number of genin who signed up has reached more than 200." Yamanaka Hai smiled and said, "This additional test is acceptable."

the other side.

The three people in the fifth class did not take this notice seriously.

With the strength of the three of them together, among all the combinations participating in the Chunin Exam, even if they don't get first place, there is no problem in being in the top three.

"Hey, why are there so many ninjas from other ninja villages in this exam?" After seeing the ninjas wearing forehead protectors from Amegakure and Kusagakure, Uchiha Matsuri was confused.

Didn't it mean that Konoha, Sunagakure and Kirigakure jointly organized it? Then where did these small hidden villages come from?

"These small hidden villages do not have the strength to take the chunin exams themselves, so they can only follow Konoha's chunin exams." Jiraiya explained.
