Chapter 57: Secret Conversation

In order to explore the movements of the Uchiha Festival and not be discovered, Jiraiya channeled a miniature toad. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

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

A corner of the tavern.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Matsuri greeted each other a few words, and after chatting for a long time, seeing that the heat of the conversation reached their expectations, Uchiha Fugaku gradually pulled the topic to Jiraiya.

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

"Jiraiya was very kind to me. The Uchiha said casually.

"Speaking of Jiraiya, I have always felt a little guilty about you all these years. Uchiha Fugaku looked guilty, "After my parents died, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as an elder brother, and even let my own brother be raised by a foreigner all the time. ”

As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly stood up and bowed deeply towards the Uchiha Matsuri.

Glancing at Uchiha Fugaku, who pretended to be apologetic, Uchiha Matsuri couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

But at least, on the bright side, the Uchiha Matsuri doesn't intend to tear his face with this brother, who is related by blood.

After helping Uchiha Fugaku, the Uchiha Festival hurriedly made a statement.

"Huh. The Uchiha Matsuri pretended to be drunk, "Brother, you're torturing me." ”

"What about the aliens? My eyes, the color of my hair, and the blood that flows through my body all the time prove that I've always been a member of the Uchiha clan. ”

"Well said!" Uchiha Fugaku held out his thumb and appreciated, "worthy of my younger brother, his ideological consciousness is as high as mine." ”

Nima, my Zhengzhi Enlightenment Gao and is it not your brother who has a half-dime relationship?

Secretly despised Uchiha Fugaku, who only smiled slightly awkwardly.

"Matsui, since you strongly approve of the Uchiha family in your heart, do you know the current situation of the Uchiha family?" Uchiha Fugaku said in a low voice, pretending to be careless.

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

Without answering the question that Uchiha Fugaku put aside, the Uchiha Matsuri looked at his watch "inadvertently", and then apologized: "I'm sorry brother, it's past seven o'clock now, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll have to worry about me." ”

"Ah, I almost lost track of time. Uchiha Fugaku smiled awkwardly, "It's been a pleasure to talk to you today, and before I knew it, it was already past seven o'clock." ”

After a brief goodbye, the Uchiha Matsuri walked out of the tavern in the darkness of the night and the sound of the acquaintance.

After seeing the Uchiha Matsuri walk out of the tavern, Uchiha Fugaku's face instantly pulled down.

"Patriarch, it seems that your brother doesn't seem to want to talk about that. 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 I will have to spend time contacting him in the future." ”

Outside the tavern.

The toad, who had been monitoring the movements of the Uchiha Festival, jumped back.

"How is it, what did you do in the tavern?" Jiraiya asked impatiently when he saw the psychic beast returning.

"Your apprentice has met with the new patriarch of the Uchiha clan. The toad opened his mouth and said, "But I didn't hear exactly what the two of them said." ”

Fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed, Jiraiya didn't let this psychic beast get too close to the Uchiha Festival. Therefore, for the conversation between the Uchiha Matsuri and the Uchiha Fugaku, the toad did not hear it.

"Uchiha Fugaku?" said Jiraiya to himself thoughtfully.

Although it is not clear why the three generations of Hokage let him adopt the Uchiha Festival in the first place, Jirai, who is not stupid in his brain, can naturally see that the three generations of Hokage do not want the Uchiha Festival and the Uchiha clan to get too close.

Seeing the Uchiha Matsuri walking out of the Naraku Tavern alone and walking in the direction of Jiraiya's house, Jiraiya's doppelganger and psychic beast disappeared into the night in an instant.

In the living room of the house.

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

The Uchiha clan contacted the Uchiha Festival at this time, could it be that there was some ulterior motive?

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

"It's so late, why did you come back?" asked Jiraiya knowingly.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I just had a meal with my brother, so I came back a little late. "The Uchiha Matsuri tells the truth.

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

Then he looked at the Uchiha Festival kindly, "Since you have already eaten, then I will no longer cook for you alone." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Also, children can't drink!" Seeing the Uchiha Matsuri's face slightly red after drinking, Jiraiya casually reminded.

"Got it. ”

Looking at the back of the Uchiha Festival going upstairs, Jiraiya thought with mixed feelings.

Although I don't know what Uchiha Fugaku's purpose is, at the very least, Uchiha Matsuri didn't hide the meeting with Uchiha Fugaku tonight.

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

The Uchiha Matsuri, who went up the stairs, didn't know that telling the truth would invisibly alleviate Jiraiya's suspicions about himself.

A few days later.

After the end of World War II, the first shinobi exam officially began. Due to the large number of participants, Konoha and Sand Hide and Fog Hide temporarily decided to set up a qualifier.

The rules of the qualifiers are simple, teams of three to fight. As long as one of the teams surrenders or is defeated, the other group will qualify for the main match of the Chunin Exam.

And the group that fails can take the second middle ninja exam half a year later.

After seeing the notice in front of the examination room, most of the shinobi who took the exam were miserable.

"It's really troublesome, I actually held a qualifier temporarily, I think, let's compete again next time!" Nara Shikahisa frowned and pouted.

"Just the number of people who signed up has reached more than two hundred. Yamanaka said with a smile, "This additional test is acceptable." ”

The other side.

The three members of the fifth class did not take this notice seriously.

With the strength of the three of them joining forces, among all the combinations participating in the Zhongnin exam, even if they can't get the first place, there is no problem with the top three.

"Hey, why are there so many ninjas from other ninja villages in this exam? After seeing the ninjas wearing the forehead guards of the Rain Hidden Village and the Grass Hidden Village, the Uchiha Festival was puzzled.

Doesn't it mean that Konoha is jointly organized with Sand Hidden and Foggy, so where did these small hidden villages come from?

"These small hidden villages, they don't have the strength to run the middle ninja exam, so they can only follow the middle ninja exam of Konoha . Jiraiya explained.
