Chapter 427

Konoha, in a relatively dim corridor with no one around.

One was leaning against a pillar, while the other was standing next to him.

It was Orochimaru and Kabuto.

They were planning to destroy Konoha.

“Speaking of which, Konoha is still a leisurely place. The other countries are preparing for war, but they are enjoying peace.” Orochimaru had a sinister smile on his face, and his snake eyes were full of evil charm.

“Then let’s take this opportunity to take it down.”

“Yeah, I don’t know how fun it is to take the head of that old bastard, 3rd Hokage.”

There was a faint smile on Konoha’s face, “The head of the t3rd Hokage? Orochimaru-sama, do you really think so?”

“Huh?”

“In my opinion, you don’t seem to have made up your mind.”

“You mean that he used to be my teacher, so I will show mercy?”

“Of course, you are not the kind of person who is indecisive. We will destroy this village. In addition to fun, we will also seize that person.”

“It is good that you understand.”

In the third examination venue.

“I have told you before that you will have an official competition in front of everyone. Each of you represents the combat power of your country. At that time, I hope that you can display your best skills.” The 3rd Hokage solemnly said to the crowd, “First of all, congratulations on entering the pre-selection. Then, the official competition will begin in a month!”

“What? A month later?”

“I thought it would start now.”

“Cough cough.” The 3rd Hokage continued, “This period of time is for everyone to prepare.”

“Make preparations?”

“Well, the official selection and pre-selection are different. At that time, Kazekage and the Kage of some countries will also come to watch the competition. For the sake of fairness, please work hard for this month. Of course, if you want to have a good rest.”

“Well, Hokage-sama, we…”

“Don’t worry for now. Although I also want everyone to disband, there is still one more thing to do.”

Hearing this, Naruto could no longer hold it in and his cat face revealed an anxious expression, “What else is there? I still need to hurry up and train!”

“Don’t worry, each of you take a piece of paper from the box that Anko took.”

Taking advantage of this time to draw, Leiyin arrived at the the Sacred Mountains with a thought.

Master was still sitting by the side with his eyes closed. “What did you call me for this time? I don’t think you are here to train, right?”

“Master, please understand. I have a request.”

When Leiyin left the Sacred Mountains, everyone drew their respective notes.

In the battle situation, Naruto Uzumaki vs. Leiyin…

It turned out that the reason why Leiyin flew to the Sacred Mountains was to ask Master to use his power to help him with this small favor, so that he could fight with Yoroi.

He wanted to take revenge for Meng Xiaomeng.

“Then, I’ll have to trouble everyone! See you in a month. Dismiss!”

After disbanding, Leiyin went to the Ninja Hospital without stopping.

Eri was not seriously injured and could be discharged after resting for a few days.

Leiyin went to Meng Xiaomeng again.

Although Meng Xiaomeng had suffered heavy injuries, she had been treated very well and was no longer seriously injured.

However, when she saw Leiyin looking at her, a rare smile appeared on her usually gloomy face. “Brother Leiyin, who is your opponent? Did you win?”

“It’s Choji from Asuma Team. I won.”

“I knew it. You’re really amazing. How is Eri now? Is it okay?” Meng Xiaomeng said.

“He’s okay. I just went to see him. He didn’t suffer much damage in the first place. Moreover, he’s like a strong calf. He will be discharged in a few days.”

Hearing this, Xiaomeng covered her mouth and chuckled. Her face was flushed and she looked even cuter.

“Then you have to take good care of yourself. I think you’re much better now. I still have to train for the next competition. I’ll go first.”

“Brother Leiyin.” Upon hearing this, the smile on Meng Xiaomeng’s face disappeared again. Her pitiful eyes stared straight at Leiyin.

“What… what’s wrong?” Seeing Meng Xiaomeng like this, Leiyin was also stunned.

“No. It’s nothing.” Meng Xiaomeng looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, a look of disappointment flashing through her eyes.

Meng Xiaomeng was an orphan, just like Eri and Leiyin. Xiaomeng was in the hospital. Other than medical ninjas, she did not see anyone else every day. Those medical ninjas were just doing thier routine and treated her illness. They could not be considered relatives at all.

She must feel very lonely.

Leiyin looked at her. Meng Xiaomeng was pitiful to begin with, and this appearance made people feel heartache.

Leiyin seemed to understand what she meant. He smiled again. “Then, during this period of time, I will come to see you every day after I finish training. How about it?”

“Really?” When Meng Xiaomeng heard this, she instantly became spirited.
