Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#324 - Naruto's map cannon

After some investigation, Liang Yue understood.

His becoming a "genius" was not accidental, but deliberately orchestrated by someone in Konoha.

First, there was the head of the Hyuga clan, who seemed to be eyeing the position of the next Hokage, so he needed to use Liang Yue to boost his reputation.

Then, the higher-ups of Konoha wanted to push Liang Yue to the forefront, to make a name for the somewhat fading younger generation of Konoha in recent years, and earn prestige.

By the way, it could also help divert attention from Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

In fact, everyone could see that since the Fourth Hokage's accidental death, although the Third Hokage had taken over again and persevered until now, the current Konoha Village still lacked a great master who could hold the fort.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were strong, but they were never home, so there were bound to be times when they couldn't reach in time.

Originally, Orochimaru, who had otaku attributes, also defected a few years ago~

As the Third Hokage grew older, many things had already been put on the agenda.

It's just that, after the Kannabi Bridge incident, Kakashi was the first to become decadent.

Among the younger generation, the Uchiha clan was originally full of talent, and both Uchiha Shisui and Itachi were very good.

But later, one of them committed suicide, and the other defected.

Incidentally, even Sasuke's status in the village is very awkward now, and it is impossible for him to be reused.

Might Guy is indeed powerful, but his personality is too silly, destined to be just a fighter.

Liang Yue's appearance has somewhat relieved Konoha's embarrassment in this regard, and with the successive emergence of several self-created ninjutsu, people vaguely see the shadow of the Second Hokage in him.

Of course, being a genius, having strength, and having talent is one thing, but becoming Hokage is another.

In short, according to Liang Yue's investigation and speculation.

The reason why he was able to be known by the peers in the venue without realizing it was largely due to the joint efforts of a group of people in Konoha...

...

"Sigh~"

"Huh? What's wrong, Chunqiu?"

Hearing someone's sudden sigh, Hinata immediately looked over with some curiosity, asking with concern.

"It's nothing, I just... suddenly thought of an idea for a new ninjutsu, go and sit down with your companions, the exam will start in a while."

"Oh~"

...

After coaxing Hinata to her seat, Liang Yue turned his head and found that Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Rock Lee, and others were gathered in an open space on the side of the venue.

They seemed to be surrounding a bespectacled man, asking something.

Looking closer, he realized that this person was sharing some information he had investigated.

Some famous peers in the venue had been collected by the other party and written on separate cards.

The identity of this bespectacled man need not be said, it was the spy professional of Konoha Village, Yakushi Kabuto, who had secretly defected to Orochimaru at this time.

Liang Yue had been very concerned about this person for a while.

After all, this was related to his main quest "Hunting the Culprit."

Liang Yue had also evaluated Yakushi Kabuto many times, and the final feeling was a bit contradictory.

If you say he is bad, it is definitely a little bit, but at most, he can only be regarded as an accomplice.

But if you say he is the culprit, Yakushi Kabuto did play an important villain role in the next Ninja World War, reviving a large number of deceased ninjas for Black Zetsu.

But he finally pulled back from the brink...

And if it weren't for him, Sasuke might have died.

In this case, Liang Yue was really a bit confused and could only temporarily include this person in his controversial list.

...

After learning about the strength and potential rankings of a group of ninjas of the same age from Yakushi Kabuto.

For a moment, the entire venue was silent.

Hundreds of people looked at him together.

Surprise, astonishment, bewilderment, disdain, amusement, ridicule, silence... Facing this little blondie who was firing a map cannon, everyone showed different expressions at this moment.

But under the gaze of these many eyes, Naruto was not stage-frightened at all, but instead looked confident, looking at everyone with scorching eyes.

Quite a bit of a tit-for-tat meaning~

In the next moment, several ninjas who couldn't stand his actions immediately turned into black shadows and rushed forward quickly.

One of them, who ran the fastest, even flew up directly and threw a powerful swing punch at Naruto's face.

But compared to the original plot, Naruto is still a bit unreliable in personality now, but he still has some real skills.

Seeing the ninja in front of him punching him, the little blondie didn't dodge, nor did he choose to parry, but subconsciously leaned forward and instantly thrust out a knee strike.

With a muffled sound of "Bang~".

He immediately kicked the person flying, involuntarily curling up into a shrimp in mid-air.

This was the habit Naruto had developed after practicing with Liang Yue for more than two years.

Because Liang Yue would generally use Gentle Fist for practice when fighting them.

Facing the Hyuga family's Gentle Fist, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others came up with a strategy after being beaten many times.

Either keep a distance and release a long-range attack from afar, or seize the opportunity to attack quickly when he makes a move.

Once you hesitate, you will fall into the Gentle Fist's momentum, and it is almost impossible to recover the situation.

The ninja who ran up obviously didn't know this, so he was knocked down in one encounter~

However, the other party was obviously not an easy person to deal with.

At least, in terms of fighting style, he was somewhat different from the opponents Naruto usually encountered.

I saw that although this person was knocked away, accompanied by the swing punch he took the lead in throwing, a series of holes attached to the outside of the iron arm suddenly formed a certain resonance with the air.

"Woo~~~"

A sound like a whistle suddenly sounded, short and intense.

The sound was not loud, nor was it harsh, but the frequency of the vibration was very particular, and Naruto, who was close at hand, involuntarily covered his ears, with a look of pain on his face.

Immediately afterward, a burst of vomiting surged in his chest, causing the little blondie to kneel directly on the ground.

"Cough cough~ Wah, woo wah~! What kind of ninjutsu is this? Wah~"

"A special vibration frequency, mainly attacking the blood in your blood vessels, quickly use chakra to calm your body."

Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto next to him also came to Naruto's side with a concerned look, reminding him.

At this moment, the bespectacled brother's expression was sincere, and his words were earnest. Anyone who saw it would think that this person must be a warm-hearted and harmless young man.

Even Sasuke and Sakura next to him unknowingly developed a bit of trust in him in their hearts.

I have to say, as a professional spy, Yakushi Kabuto's acting skills are really admirable.
