Chapter 232 What Happened (Ch 232)

Konoha Center

In a magnificent reception room, the five figures gathered here.

In the history of the ninja world, whenever the Five Kage gathered, it was because of a major event.

And most of them are accompanied by a tense atmosphere, but at this moment.

The atmosphere here is incredibly calm.

The Raikage reached out and picked up an orange, carefully peeled the skin, gently removed every strand of white silk, and then swallowed the whole orange in one gulp.

“I thought that with a rough character like yours, you would eat it with skin and meat.”

Oonoki’s curious voice came from beside the Raikage.

The Raikage turned his head and saw Ōnoki sipping his tea, watching him with a faint smile on his face.

“Tsk, you old man who generalizes.”

The Raikage curled his lips and reached out to grab the tea and teapot that Ōnoki had worked so hard to brew.

Not afraid of the heat, pour it straight down your throat, and within a few sips, the carefully prepared tea is gone.

“Hey, hey, you can’t drink tea like this!”

“You have to savor the flavor carefully. You can’t just wolf it down like you do!”

Ohnoki’s eyes widened, his face full of helplessness and anger.

But he could only watch the empty teapot being thrown back in front of him.

“I really am…”

Ōnoki felt a black screen before his eyes. He had spent half an hour carefully preparing a pot of tea. He had intended to sip it for a long time, but the Raikage drank it all in less than ten seconds.

“You still accuse me of generalizing. Look at the impression you leave on others.”

Ōnoki continued to puff out his beard and glare.

The Raikage remained unmoved, he just smiled and started peeling the orange again.

Let’s put aside these two people bickering with each other for a moment.

Da~

With a crisp sound, Minato placed a chess piece on the chessboard.

Luo Sha, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly looked solemn, his eyes fixed on the chess game.

Despite his careful consideration, he could only conclude that he could not escape defeat no matter what.

“You win this game.” Luo Sha slowly put down the chess piece with a steady tone.

“Thank you.”

Namikaze Minato responded with a smile.

“How about another try? My thoughts weren’t clear enough just now, so I want to try a different approach this time.”

“please.”

The two of them quickly tidied up the chessboard and immediately started a new game.

“You should play black first.”

“Then I’ll be welcome.”

Luo Sha nodded, picked up a chess piece with two fingers and dropped it directly into the center of the chessboard.

——Tianyuan!

Seeing this, even the usually gentle Minato couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.

From now on, it can be basically confirmed that Luo Sha is probably not proficient in the art of Go. He is the kind of person who only knows the basics but enjoys it.

In other words, he is both a novice and a playful person.

Choosing to place the piece at the Tianyuan position at the beginning may cause the layout to be too concentrated and lose the ability to control the edge of the board.

In actual competition, it is very important to grasp the overall situation. Occupying the center too early may make it easier for the opponent to take the initiative in the development of the situation.

Even those who are experienced in chess rarely act so rashly except in special circumstances.

But for beginners, doing so may make them think they are quite powerful and stylish.

“It’s your turn, Hokage-sama.”

Seeing that Minato didn’t move for a long time, Luo Sha reminded him.

“Feel sorry.”

Minato casually dropped a white piece as a sign of acceptance of the challenge.

“Hehehe…”

A silver bell-like laughter came from the side.

Minato’s eyes moved slightly. What could make the Mizukage laugh so happily?

When I turned around, I saw Mei Terumi reading a book with great interest.

After gently placing a chess piece on the board to counter Rasa, Minato glanced curiously at the book in Terumi Mei’s hands.

“Makeout Heaven?!”

A look of disbelief and surprise flashed across his face.

There is such a book here?!

Looking at Mei Terumi who was immersed in the sea of ​​books, Minato held his forehead and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

“It looks like Mr. Jiraiya has gained a new loyal fan.”

“Hokage, what happened?” Rasa noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion.

“It’s okay, let’s continue.”

Minato smiled and picked up another chess piece. Just as he was about to place it –

boom!!!

A deafening explosion suddenly occurred.

What followed was an unprecedented violent tremor!

It was as if the world was turned upside down, and everyone in the room was suddenly thrown overboard, jumping up from their chairs involuntarily.

Crash…

The chessboard fell, and the black and white chess pieces flew everywhere.

But at this moment no one paid attention to these little things, and everyone stood up in panic.

Fortunately, the shaking came and went quickly, and everything returned to calm after a while.

“What happened to your kidney?”

The Raikage looked solemn, wondering if that kid Deidara had gotten into trouble again?

Several people looked at Ōnoki, and it was obvious that he was not the only one who thought of this possibility.

“I’ll go check it out.” Ohnoki said in a steady tone, and then he floated up and prepared for action.

“Tsuchikage, don’t bother.”

At this time, Minato spoke up to stop Oonoki who was about to leave.

Slowly walked towards the window, looking into the distance with the corners of his mouth raised:

“The sound came from the Death Forest. It should be the end of the final assessment.”

He smiled calmly: “This is nothing to panic about.”

Several shadows looked at each other in bewilderment: We can hear the noise from such a long distance, why does it feel like the Death Forest is about to be pierced through?

“For Konoha, which is full of geniuses, it is indeed not a big deal.”

The Raikage sighed helplessly.

There is no doubt that a person named Shinomiya Yuzuki is involved behind this.

Having said that, such strength is simply unbelievable. I really don’t know how it was cultivated…

He felt a little sad in his heart: Why doesn’t our Yunyin have such a thing?

“Let’s go and see what’s going on together.” Minato Namikaze suggested gently.

“Okay.” Several people nodded in agreement.

Minato gently touched their shoulders, and in an instant, a golden light flashed, and the figures of several people disappeared in the room through the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When several figures appeared on the site of the once vibrant Death Forest—

The originally lush and green land has disappeared, replaced by a jaw-droppingly huge sinkhole.

The lava in the pit surged and boiled, and billowing hot steam rose into the sky, witnessing the extraordinary destructive power of this attack.

Standing on the edge of the sinkhole and looking down at the scene below, everyone was briefly shocked.

Is this something a ninja can do?

They were already shocked when they saw Shinomiya Yutsuki demonstrate the ability to go back in time.

However, the scene before us now pushed this impression to the extreme.

The pure and extreme destructive power is often the most intuitive way to measure a person’s strength.
