Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Troubles Knocking on the Door
Sasuke's eyes darkened. It really wasn't the right time to get into an argument with these guys now. Moreover, there were so many stubborn old geezers in Konoha. It was really a pain in the neck.
He turned his head and glanced in Kimimaro's direction.
"Let them go. Even if we kill these old coots, it won't do us any good."
"You're really lucky. Since Sasuke has spoken, I can spare you."
His cold eyes swept across them evenly, and suddenly a sinister smile curled up on his lips.
"In that case, I'll give you a little gift. Remember to take it well."
The Bone Whip crackled and loosened slightly. Just as everyone could finally take a breath of fresh air, the Bone Whip suddenly struck, piercing through the arms of the two men at an extremely fast speed like a wriggling white snake.
The sudden pain made them hunch over and back off, trying to get rid of the Bone Whip that had pierced their arms.
But unexpectedly, the more they pulled, the more painful the wounds became. The whip actually had barbs that were hooked onto the flesh, and they couldn't pull it out after struggling for a long time.
Watching the panicked expressions of the Konoha higher - ups, Kimimaro finally retracted the Bone Whip. His hands hung naturally at his sides, and the Bone Whip disappeared without a trace from the palm of his hand.
"You... You're a bastard!"
"Tsk, this old hag has long disliked you. What, do you want to start a war with us?"
"Yeah, yeah. Are you trying to get Sasuke and Kimimaro's attention? That won't do. I'm telling you, they're mine!"
After Tayuya vented her dissatisfaction, Karin quickly followed up, leaving the angry crowd just now feeling awkward and speechless.
"Go back and tell the other Konoha higher - ups that if they have any complaints, I don't mind starting The Fourth Great Ninja World War right now!"
Sasuke stood there, his chin slightly raised. His condescending look left no one in doubt that he definitely had the strength to do so.
"Hey, really? Finally, something fun is starting after coming out."
Some members of the Taka team and the Sound Five were eager to try. After all, they were all experienced fighters and were just itching for a chance to show off their skills.
"Sasuke!"
A distant voice came from his ear. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a look like a wronged woman, making Sasuke's scalp tingle.
"I was just joking. You don't have to look at me like that."
"You were joking, but the people under you seem really eager!"
Really, when Sasuke said that, there wasn't even a hint of joking in his words.
...
"Get out of here and never show up in my sight again!"
"Sasuke Uchiha, do you think this matter is over like this? Eight years ago, when Tanzō was kicked out, your Uchiha clan suddenly rose. Now it's the number one clan in Konoha. Even though you defected two years ago, it still couldn't halt the Uchiha clan's overwhelming rise. I absolutely don't believe that your clan wasn't involved in all this! No matter what your conspiracy is, I'll fight to the death and won't let you succeed!"
"Ah~ Those old folks from Konoha are so stubborn. One after another, it never ends. Just got rid of an old hag, and now it's an old man's turn."
Suigetsu felt a bit bored. He turned his eyes and asked Sasuke curiously.
"So~ Sasuke, can I kill this guy? He seems so annoying!"
His pitch - black eyes looked even more mysterious under the dazzling light. He gently closed his beautiful eyes and slightly parted his thin lips.
"Do as you please."
After saying that, he was about to leave without looking back. After all, saying even a single word to these guys was a waste of his emotions.
Even if, as they said, he was the mastermind behind Tanzō's death, it was Tanzō who was malicious and that's why he succeeded.
It was just the wailing of a loser. He didn't have the leisure to care about it.
"Wait a minute!"
Naruto was caught in an awkward situation. Seeing that the two forces were about to clash and Sasuke looked like he didn't care at all, he had to stop Suigetsu first.
But was Suigetsu the kind of person who would listen?
Of course not!
"Hehe, I don't even know you. I won't listen!"
After saying that, Suigetsu turned his whole body into liquid. With his cold and sharp fangs and a wide - open mouth, his liquid - like gushing body attacked Homura Mitokado, who was pale - faced and lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Just as Suigetsu was about to succeed, Naruto suddenly sprang into action, and a loud shout rang out.
"I told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?"
Rasengan that fell from the sky seemed to smash a big hole in the floor, but Suigetsu wasn't afraid of the Wind Release. No matter how powerful Naruto's moves were or how much Chakra he had, it had nothing to do with him.
Just as Suigetsu was about to make a move, a thunderbolt, representing Lightning Release, flashed across the sky at an extremely fast speed. The crackling thunder made everyone's hair stand on end. What a joke. Why was there someone in Konoha other than Sasuke who could use the Lightning Release so spectacularly?
"Stop, stop quickly! Come and save me."
At this moment, the arrogance on his face was gone, only fear remained.
The person who came was Kakashi. The flowing light of Chidori flashed brightly in his hand, and he was about to slash down on Suigetsu's body without hesitation.
Sasuke teleported instantly. The same Lightning Release struck towards Kakashi's palms at the same speed.
The intense electric current scattered in the air. The loose strands of hair stood up straight due to static electricity. After the attack subsided, they landed on the ground respectively. The eye that was exposed showed a long - lost smile.
"Yo~ Long time no see. Isn't this my student? When you come back to Konoha, you don't even say hello to your teacher first?"
"Kakashi..."
It had been a long time since Sasuke called him like this, without any honorifics, just his name. Humph! Such an arrogant guy.
"Still so impolite. It seems that cultivating with Orochimaru for two years didn't bring you any progress at all."
Orochimaru: ?_?
Sasuke frowned tightly. He didn't understand what Kakashi was talking about. Did he come here just to catch up with him?
"So annoying. You don't need to interfere in my business. I'm asking you, what are you here for?"
"Just now, the Konoha higher-ups came to a conclusion. Lady Tsunade and her group firmly believe that what you said is quite credible. However..."
Kakashi glanced at the Taka team and Kimimaro. Then he said, "Too many ninjas have come, and the strength of the team members is unclear. So the high-ranking officials plan to hold a nine-vs-nine match!"
"What the hell do you mean? A match? Against who? What are the winning conditions?"
Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a frown. This guy was still the same as before, always looking impatient.
"Regarding your strength, all nine people present here will have to fight against Konoha ninjas. Only by winning five matches will your strength be recognized by the Konoha higher-ups..."
