I want to be the man behind the scenes (Being the man behind the scenes since Hokage)

"Lord Naruto"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed when he saw the Third Hokage, and his expression slowly softened. He pointed at Naraku Uehara and said: "This is Mr. Naraku Uehara from Hidden Rain Village. We met by chance when we were on a mission outside. Been there once.”

"Haha, so unfamiliar"

Naraku Uehara put his hand on Hatake Kakashi's shoulder and said with some dissatisfaction on his face: "I told you a lot of information for free, do you treat your old friend like this?"

""

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Why is this ninja named Uehara Naraku so familiar?

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi Hatake's mood was different. He already knew Naraku Uehara's intention to participate in the chunin exam. It was just a small ninja village who wanted to promote the genius in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little more at ease.

As long as there's no big trouble in this joint chuunin exam, it doesn't matter.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen found even more rewarding was that the way Naraku Uehara and Kakashi Hatake seemed to get along was a bit eclectic.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observation, this Amegakure ninja named Uehara Naraku seems to have a good impression of Konoha.

A genius Amegakure ninja who has a good impression of Konoha, if he can inherit the position of leader of Amegakure in the future, it will not be better for Konoha.

When he thought of this, the smile on the old face of Sarutobi Hiruzen became even stronger: "Welcome to Konoha, how do you feel about the scenery of our village?"

"It's very beautiful. It's a scenery I've never seen before."

Naraku Uehara's words were half true and half false, because it was the first time for him to see the scenery that he had seen countless times in the animation, and he could complete side tasks while looking at the scenery.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked knowingly: "Are you the leading jounin in Amegakure Village to participate in the chunin exam this time? I have long heard that there is a genius ninja in Amegakure Village."

"Well, I'm just a genin."

Naraku Uehara showed an embarrassed expression at the right time: "And you have to take the Chunin exam held by Konoha before you can be promoted to Chunin."

"Really strong people are often not distinguished by their positions."

Sarutobi Hiruzen still smiled very kindly: "There are some very powerful genin in our village. In fact, their strength is comparable to that of jounin."

This statement is indeed true.

The title of Konoha Genin is really not something that everyone can do.

Let’s not talk about Maruhoshi Kosuke and Matt Dai who died in the battle. Just for the current Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, their future achievements should not be too scary.

A smile appeared on Naraku Uehara's face. Instead of answering the question, he said softly: "Yes, I just didn't expect that the Third Hokage is as approachable as the rumors say."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more satisfied with Naraku Uehara. He winked at Kakashi seriously and whispered softly: "Kakashi, since your friend is here, take him around the village more." Let’s turn around”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hatake Kakashi nodded and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen's back go away.

After the old man left, Hatake Kakashi didn't mention a word about Naraku Uehara's previous proposal for a discussion, and quietly changed the topic.

"You guys have changed so much. When you were in the Kingdom of Water a few years ago, you suspected that I coveted the treasures of your ninja village and you had the momentum to tell me to get away."

"I was young and frivolous at that time."

Uehara Naraku sighed and said with some nostalgia: "Sometimes after experiencing too many things, you have to become diplomatic, and I really think that friendship between Konoha and Amegakure Village is beneficial to both of us. .”

Kakashi Hatake nodded, actually feeling some sympathy for Naraku Uehara: "Peace is hard-won, and it does need to be cherished by everyone."

After all, when he was in the Kingdom of Water, Naraku Uehara was so arrogant. He unscrupulously commanded a group of rebellious ninjas from Kirigakure Village to besiege Orochimaru, and waved him, the Konoha jounin, to get out.

I just didn’t expect that in just a few years, the edges would be smoothed out.

But for Konoha, this is also a good thing.

Only by truly having a fearless and strong heart and not being afraid of any difficulties or dangers can we become stronger.

In Kakashi Hatake's view, Naraku Uehara is actually squandering his talent, and soon his strength will reach its upper limit and he will be lost among the many ordinary ninjas.

"Hit the boss with your hands and put the money on the table."

After Naraku Uehara shouted, he took out a detonating talisman and pressed it on the table, before pulling Kakashi Hatake away: "I heard there are a lot of delicious food in Konoha, take me to see it quickly."

For example, three-color meatballs, sweet chestnut juice, etc.

These are ordinary foods, but they cannot hold up the meaning of their existence.

When Hatake Kakashi was about to leave obediently, he saw the detonating talisman left by Uehara Naraku, and his eyelids jumped in fright: "What do you mean by leaving a detonating talisman here? Do you want to destroy this family?" Shop?"

"Get used to it."

Naraku Uehara took some money from himself and looked at Kakashi Hatake, looking a little innocent: "I don't take any money with me when I go out. I just spend my teammates' money, usually on detonating charms, Kakashi. Did you bring any money, sir?”

Because Xiaonan is very strict with his education.

Uehara is absolutely not allowed to touch any of the three forbidden items in Konoha. Even though Naraku Uehara is the accountant of Amegakure Village, he doesn't have much pocket money.

"hiss"

Kakashi Hatake glanced at Naraku Uehara with a complicated expression, dropped a note, and sighed: "I now seriously doubt that you are here for a meal."

"If I remember correctly, it was you who took the initiative to deliver it to me."

Naraku Uehara winked and said, "Let's go, take me to Shueisha, pay for a set of books for me, and then we can discuss it."

"what book"

"A set of sacred books circulated among ninjas."

Naraku Uehara sneaked closer to Hatake Kakashi, suppressed his smile, and said next to Kakashi: "Have you ever heard of this series of books, Kissing Heaven?"

""

Hatake Kakashi's eyes are getting weirder and weirder. He now wants to show off the signed collector's edition he owns, and then take Hara Naraku to buy the regular edition.

Just looking at Naraku Uehara's still green face, Kakashi Hatake frowned and said, "Are you this year?"

"sixteen."

"Minors are not allowed to read romance books."

Kakashi Hatake stopped Naraku Uehara's thoughts with dignity, and used himself as an example: "On my birthday, I received a gift from Lord Jiraiya."

The limited signed collection of Intimate Paradise in Kakashi's hand was Jiraiya's birthday gift to him.

Uehara Naraku sighed: "Is there really no way to negotiate? This book is very difficult to buy. If you can't buy it in Konoha, I don't know when I can buy it."

"no way."

Hatake Kakashi pulled on his mask and said softly: "Perhaps when you are here, I can help you apply for a set of Jiraiya-sama's signed edition."

"tsk"

Naraku Uehara sighed.

If nothing unexpected happened, he might actually have a chance to meet Jiraiya during this Chunin Exam.

"alright."

Naraku Uehara patted Kakashi on the shoulder and touched his chin: "We have almost seen the scenery of Konoha. Let's go meet some of the kids in your class and let them get to know me as my opponent in advance."

Hearing Naraku Uehara's words, Hatake Kakashi looked a little unhappy, shook his head and rejected Naraku Uehara: "Let's wait until you take the exam to avoid them seeing you in advance and losing the chance to take the Chunin exam. confidence."

Naraku Uehara is too strong.

What if Sasuke Uchiha, the strongest member of Team [-], sees Naraku Uehara and wants to challenge him, but ends up being beaten with teeth all over the floor?

Class [-] probably doesn't have the confidence to take the Chunin Exam.

"Actually, I don't have much confidence either."

Uehara Naraku reached out and hugged the back of his head, sighing faintly: "This Chunin Exam should be the largest one in these years. The whole village's hope is on me. I hope I can pass the Chunin Exam." Achieve good results”

"Don't be miserable"

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but hold his forehead protector and said: "Although there may be many interesting newcomers in this chunin exam, no matter how strong you are, you may not be able to defeat a monster like you, right?"

Four years ago, after Hua Ling and I left, I estimated my battle with you, and even my own chances of defeating you were pitiful. "

"impossible."

Uehara Naraku quickly shook his head and analyzed seriously: "The probability of you defeating me is at least 50.00%."

"You guys are really rude."

The corners of Kakashi Hatake's eyes couldn't help but tremble.

It has to be said that Naraku Uehara's liveliness makes people feel close to each other easily, and Kakashi Hatake gradually became less wary of Naraku Uehara.

Faced with a somewhat harmless opponent like Naraku Uehara, Kakashi Hatake, who was originally hesitant about making a decision, made a final decision to let the three little guys in his class truly experience the horror of the Chunin Exam.

But when the two of them chatted all day and separated in the evening, Uehara Naraku looked at Hatake Kakashi's leaving figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Kakashi is too vigilant. If you want to get in touch with Uzumaki Naruto, you really have to wait until the Chunin Exam."
