Chapter 759: Chapter – 752 Envy
As Konoha shinobi arrived at the battlefield on the forest of death one after another, they felt the murderous oppression of two dangerous entities and immediately became vigilant against both of them.
Some were on guard against Naruto cloaked in a strange chakra that seemed to be the combination of Nine-tails chakra and Senjutsu Chakra, while the others were vigilant against the behemoth-like snake.
Resisting the oppression from these two entities, Sandaime vigilantly approached Naruto. As he got closer to Naruto, Hiruzen noted Naruto's clear eyes with no trace of anger or vigilance against him and breathed a sigh of relief, 'Naruto has really not lost control.' And couldn't help but ask Naruto in surprise, "Naruto… what's going on?"
In fact of Hiruzen's question, Naruto could only scratch his cheek with an ignorant expression, as he answered, "I don't know either Hokage-ji-chan… suddenly I felt that I have infinite strength and I could defeat all the enemies, other than this, I don't understand a thing."
"That's really strange." Said Hiruzen as he observed Naruto. But before he could get a closer look the nine-tails cloak on Naruto's body dispersed, and he had no chance to understand anything.
What really happened is that when Kurama learned that this was all just an assessment and the Akatsuki Organization wasn't actually here, he naturally retracted all his chakra leaving Naruto and Hiruzen standing confused on the battlefield.
With the disappearance of the Nine-tails chakra cloak, the Senjutsu Chakra that Naruto had absorbed also disappeared he exited the Sennin Mode, and the serpent-like eyes returned back to Naruto's original clear blue eyes.
Hiruzen was really confused by the changes he witnessed in Naruto, however, seeing that even Naruto didn't have any idea of what was going on, he could only shake his head helplessly and put the matter aside. But he was really relieved that nothing happened during the Assessment. Although the overall effect of the assessment was good, however, the process was like a roller-coaster ride, full of ups and downs that frightened his old heart.
…
On the other side, as Fugaku came beside Sasuke, he looked at his son's state with a silent expression and stretched out his hand.
Looking at his father's outstretched hand, Sasuke said with a guilty expression, "Tou-san… I… I have ashamed the Clan!"
Fugaku shook his head and said nothing, just looking at Sasuke for him to take his hand. Sasuke did, and Fugaku pulled him up as the Iryo-nin beside him took a look at Sasuke.
While that was happening, Fugaku turned his head and gazed at the giant red snake present just beside him.
From up close, Fugaku felt the real pressure oozed by Garaga. The snake's bloody aura seemed to overwhelm even him, a war-hardened person. He has to admit that even for him, defeating this snake would be very troublesome unless he uses his ace, that is, his Mangekyou Sharingan.
While Fugaku was looking at Garaga, Sasuke turned his head in the direction of Naruto. Seeing that Naruto–who used to come last in the assessments at the Ninja Academy–has now become the MVP of this assessment and is surrounded by dozens of people appreciating his strength, Sasuke felt bitter, 'Damn it! I lost to Naruto!'
…
As the Hiashi and Hizashi brothers arrived at the battlefield, they hurriedly came to Hinata and Neji and checked their injuries.
Upon noting that their children weren't seriously injured, both brothers breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, these are just some small injuries and will heal with just a little treatment."
After this, Hiashi turned his head and searched for Kuroto. Hiashi is really dissatisfied with Kuroto in regard to this assessment because he believes that it is too dangerous for children. There were even chances that his daughter Hinata might have died in the assessment if the giant snake or Naruto had lost control. He can't believe how someone like Kuroto who is so level-headed can organize such a dangerous assessment.
The only reason Hiashi hasn't expressed his dissatisfaction so far is that it was Kuroto who organized this assessment. Since Kuroto is also a member of the Hyuga Clan, this matter can only be handled within the Hyuga Clan, the outsiders must not know about this else the reputation of the Hyuga Clan will be affected which is not something he would want to see.
Hinata noted the dissatisfaction on Hiashi's face. She felt that her poor performance was the reason for her father's dissatisfaction and lowered her head, avoiding Hiashi's gaze. Of course, even if she looked down, her eyes couldn't help but unconsciously glance in the direction of Naruto from time to time.
Beside Hinata, Neji glanced at the giant snake with complicated emotion. He had admiration that Naruto managed to make such a powerful creature his summon, bitterness in his heart that the snake is not his summon, and envy that Naruto got it, but not him.
Hizashi noted his son looking at the giant snake and he too turned his attention to Garaga. Looking at the behemoth-like existence, Hizashi suddenly remembered the suggestion Kuroto had put forward a long time ago.
When Hyuga Shinobi face such giant enemies, they are completely helpless. Unlike the Uchiha shinobi who can awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan and fight back using their Susano'o, the Hyuga shinobi have no means to fight back. Such monstrous existence can easily kill them just by waving their claws or sweeping their tails.
'He was really correct… if I was facing such an existence, what can I do? The Hyuga Clan has no means of fighting back against such existences!' such a thought appeared in his heart as he sighed helplessly. Helpless because he knows that this won't change. Those old fools won't give up the traditions and rules of the Hyuga Clan for they fear results.
…
Similar to the Uchiha and the Hyuga, the other senior shinobi present in the forest of death also looked at the giant snake not far away from them. Everyone was curious, it's not every day they get to see such an existence.
Feeling that he has become some sort of circus pet, Garaga felt annoyed and snorted heavily as white mist spewed from his nostrils, "Humph!"
All the Konoha shinobi were taken aback by Garaga's sudden action.
Perhaps Sandaime could feel that the giant snake had no intention of harming them, so, he didn't instruct anyone to immediately run away, instead, he turned back to Naruto and asked, "Naruto… how did you sign a summoning contract with such a giant snake?"
"Hokage-ji-chan, his name is Garaga, and he is my friend… I met him in a place called Ryuchi Cave where Orochimaru had taken me." Said Naruto proudly, and asked eagerly, "What do you think Hokage-ji-chan, Garaga is very powerful, right?"
Hiruzen understood the ins and outs of the matter and nodded with a smile, "Yes, he is really powerful."
Although Garaga felt happy that Naruto was praising him, he was also getting impatient because of the humans around, and spoke, "Naruto… since you are no longer in danger, I am going back to my home to sleep!" and waited for Naruto's reply.
Naruto nodded, "All right, see you later Garaga."
Garaga nodded, "Hm." And disappeared with a blast of white smoke.
Of course, Garaga could have gone without informing Naruto, but he chose not to. His intention was to show Konoha Shinobi that he and Naruto are really friends.
With the departure of Garaga, the vigilant Konoha shinobi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sandaime also exhaled a sigh, then he turned to Shisui and questioned, "Where is Hyuga Kuroto?"

Chapter 760: Chapter – 753 Nervous Atmosphere in Monitoring Room
Somewhere else in the Forest of Death
Time turns back to 5 minutes ago, when Naruto hadn't summoned Garaga, and Asuma as well as the other three had just appeared in front of Sasuke and the other kids.
Obito and Zetsu were confused by the appearance of the four people wearing the uniform of the Akatsuki Organization, they wanted to check out what was going on, and also kidnap Uzumaki Naruto by the way.
With such intentions, as they rushed towards the battlefield where the children were fighting someone, they suddenly saw something and came to an abrupt stop.
The reason for their abrupt halt was a person sitting on a tree branch. He was wearing the cloak of the Amatsukami Organization and had a mask on his face that seemed very familiar to Obito and Zetsu. Seeing this person, Obito couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Dojin?" and immediately activated his intangibility, he didn't want to risk exposing himself to danger knowing full well that Dojin might have spread his explosives around himself.
Although he didn't have such an effective means of protecting himself as Obito, however, he was also vigilant and submerged most of his body inside the ground.
Seeing Obito and Zetsu being so vigilant of him, Dojin said in a playful tone, "Well well… what do we have here? You are still alive, huh? It seems you didn't die from the gift I left behind for you. I must say, you are like a cockroach, really hard to kill."
"Humph, the likes of you can't kill me… I am Uchiha Madara," said Obito with a cold snort.
Although he showed a cold demeanor on the outside, Obito was very vigilant of Dojin, especially after the other party mentioned 'gift', Obito knew that the Dojin in front of him was the real deal, not some faker.
Hearing Obito mention the name 'Uchiha Madara', Dojin mocked, "Ah yes… there we have it… the self-proclamation of being Uchiha Madara… do you think I would be afraid of some wanna-be Uchiha Madara?" then stood up and said coldly, "What you and the people of your organization did to my village… I have to settle it today… After all, you people must understand that I… Deidara of Iwagakure… is not easy meat!"
Obito thought to himself, 'So, Deidara is really…' and prepared to fight Dojin. Of course, he knows that it won't be easy, however, when it comes down to it, he is not afraid.
However, before either side took any action, suddenly, Zetsu shouted from the side, "Madara… look there!"
Obito looked in the direction pointed by Zetsu, and as soon as he did, his eyes widened, "Suijin, Homusubi, and Fujin… all… all three of you are in Konoha!"
As Obito said, one by one, the figures of Suijin, Homusubi, and Fujin appeared around him. The one at the forefront was none other than Suijin, he looked at Obito and said to his companion, "The three of you have had your turns, now it's my turn… I want to verify if he is really a cockroach as the rest of you say… and if that's indeed the case… then… Hahaha…" The last words were left unsaid.
…
Monitoring Room.
Everyone in the forest of death looked at the monitor with solemn expressions, they were really nervous at this moment.
The things happening on the side of children indeed require their attention but compared to the threat of the Akatsuki Organization, those are just some trivial matters.
Therefore, other than sending Shisui and Kakashi to that side, everyone else continued to monitor the screen, especially Jiraiya and Tsunade, both of them hoped that Kuroto would succeed in whatever he planned.
In the monitoring screen, they can see that Kuroto and his Shadow Clones have successfully intercepted the two members of Akatsuki, and the two sides appear to be engaged in some sort of conversation.
The only problem is that the people in the monitoring room have no way of listening to the conversation between the two sides as audio is not transmitted, and because both sides are wearing masks, therefore, lip-reading isn't possible either. That's why they can only see two people opposite each other with nervous expressions.
For a moment, Tsunade even felt that this was a mistake, and was angered with herself, "I should have stopped him, this is ridiculous!"
Tsunade still feels that Kuroto's approach is way too rash, if the two members were to figure out that he is just a fake and only testing them while pretending to be a member of the Amatsukami Organization by wearing a disguise, not only he will die, but the village will suffer from another attack from the Akatsuki Organization, which is something neither she nor the village is ready for.
Jiraiya said with a sigh, "I know how you feel about this… but perhaps this is the only solution we have, right now. We are not in a position to fight the Akatsuki Organization, so we can only trust the kid, and hope that whatever his plan is… it actually works."
Tsunade shook her head in anger, "How can such a method work? They are not fools… they have fought several battles with the Amatsukami, won't they feel something off about this entire situation?" and added after a pause, "Kuroto… he is still a bit naïve… the chances of his approach working is very less… and I can't see him die."
Jiraiya stared at Tsunade and said with a serious expression, "Tsunade… that kid… he is not as simple as he appears to be, you know this in your heart as well as I do. And let's not forget that he was Orochimaru's disciple… if not in him, at least have some trust in Orochimaru's judgment…"
Tsunade sighed, "I hope you are right, Jiraiya. Because that girl… she won't be able to live if something were to happen to him." and looked at Kuroto on the screen with a worried expression, and thought to herself, 'Don't do something foolish kid.'
Not far away from Tsunade, Yui stared at the monitoring screen with a nervous expression. Her heart was beating fast, and her palms were sweaty as she continued to mutter, "Kuroto-kun… please come back safely."
Standing beside Yui, Izumi held Yui's shoulder and said in a soft tone, "Yui-san… Kuroto-sama… will definitely succeed… you don't need to worry, just have confidence in him!"
Yui murmured, "I know Izumi-chan… but that's Akatsuki Organization…!"
Izumi held Yui's hands, and lightly whispered, "It doesn't matter… Itachi-kun once told me that the shinobi world is very fortunate that in such a chaotic era there are exceptional shinobi like Kuroto-sama. I have faith in Itachi-kun's judgment, therefore, I have faith in Kuroto-sama… he will be fine."
These are Izumi's genuine thoughts. She has unconditional trust in her lover's judgment. Therefore, even if she is nervous, she believes that Kuroto-sama will not fail.
Yui nodded, and silently prayed, 'Kami-sama… please protect Kuroto-kun.'
