Chapter 84 - In Konoha 1 (2/2)
”Yes, that Green kid is special. Don't look down on him just because of his dumb-ass looks.”
Everyone stared at Guy immediately. Intuitions from S-rank shinobi are mostly true no matter how foolish they sounded. Yahiko especially learned this from his death experience.
”If he has such frightening potential, shouldn't we kill him now for Iwa's future?” Shuji asked me. Others all nodded to Shuji's question as they were agreeing with him.
”No. We are not here to ȧssassinate someone. Just getting info is already plenty.
Umm?! Where is Yahiko? I thought he was listening to me...”
To my question, everyone noticed Yahiko was not with us. We looked around and found him handing a bouquet to Konoha Female Academy sensei.
”Ohh, Señorita... Do you believe in love at first sight - or should I walk by again? Here are the roses expressing my 100% love to you.”
”...”
”Why are you not replying to me? I was feeling a little off today, but you've turned me on again. Please accept my love!”
'Oh, I can't take this anymore. This brat is using my research material like his own and dares to flirt with Konoha shinobi just because she has a huge rack. He brings shame to Iwagakure and his sensei, me!!!'
”Konan, terminate him.”
”Roger.”
Konan immediately controlled her papers to fly at Yahiko and mummified Yahiko completely. Then she took him somewhere who knows where to bury him.
Sakumo and Konoha academy students were all watching this quietly. Sakumo seemed to bit curious about how Konan could control paper while kids were just awed by Yahiko's braveness to confess his love right away.
”Ahem, sorry for showing such a shameful act. I couldn't teach my student properly and caused trouble to Konoha Academy sensei.” I pretended to look sorry at Sakumo.
”Ahaha, no worry, Genji-san. I am sure he is just in his rebellious phase.” Sakumo spoke.
-----------------
After visiting the academy, Sakumo told us that his guide is ended and we could wander anywhere in Konohagakure. He just reminded us to follow Konoha's public regulations. But we all fully knew the dozens of Anbu would follow us to even the toilet.
”Alright, everyone. Gather up! I will form pair groups now. Always travel with your group whenever you go somewhere. This is an order.
First group: Me and Nagato
Second group: Shuji, Yahiko, Konan, Jito (Iryo shinobi)
Third group: Genin team 12 with their Jounin-sensei
Fourth group: Genin team 18 with their Jounin-sensei
Fifth group: Genin team 9 with their Jounin-sensei
Sixth group: leftovers (2 Chunins, Sensor, and other Iryo shinobi)
Also, don't question my decision on pairing. I have something to do with Nagato. Okay, split up!”
Everyone grouped according to my pairings and left to do their own things.
After everyone is gone, Nagato, who was quiet the whole time, asked me.
”Genji-sensei. What do you want me to do?”
”Hehe, come on. Follow me. I will tell you as we go.”
”Where are we going, Genji-sensei?”
”Oh, I will take you to the most delicious Ramen shop in the world. It is an unforgivable sin not to go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop if you come to Konoha. Remember that carefully, Nagato.”
”I will remember it, Genji-sensei. But I didn't know you like Ramen, sensei?”
I smiled at Nagato. Going to Ichiraku for tasting was just curiosity. My real reason was to make Nagato and Kushina meet.
'I am sure Kushina has some of the Uzumaki clan's seals. Although Iwagakure stole plenty when we invaded Uzushiogakure, human's greediness is endless.
Now I'm not an idiot to barge in their house secretly while the whole freaking Anbu division is keeping an eye on me. The best way to do this is to use Nagato. He can persuade Kushina to hand them over to rebuild their clan.
For the back-up plan, I will fȯrċɨbŀƴ declare Nagato as clan head of the Uzumaki clan. Konoha has only one lady, while Iwa has 2 Uzumaki shinobi (Nagato and Karen) and a ton of ȧduŀt Uzumaki civilians throughout Iwa territory. It is obvious who has more right to claim Uzumaki seals.
I am such a genius, muhahahahaha.'
”Nagato, do you know what your clan is feared for?”
”Sealing, sensei.”
”Yes, but Konoha is using your clan's sealing jutsu like theirs. All because they have just one Uzumaki lady residing here.”
Nagato clenched his fist. Konoha killed his parents, and with Iwa's brainwashing, he has grown Konoha more than anyone on his team.
”How dare they, using my clan's legacy!!”
”Now now, calm down, Nagato. Angry won't solve anything but trouble. You must be manipulative in order to get what you want.
I am going to give you a test now. You can always find that Uzumaki girl in the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Her name is Kushina. Use that brain of yours to persuade Kushina to teach you Uzumaki clan seals.
I don't care what method or how you do it. It's also okay to fail as I know how hard this test is. So just try your best.”
Nagato looked determined to complete this test.
