Chapter 740 ‘Akatsuki’ Appears

As soon as Asuma and the others moved, their movements were immediately captured by the cameras as such their figures quickly appeared on the viewing screens.

"Who are those people?"

"Look at their cloaks... they... they... they seemed to be members of the Akatsuki Organization!?"

"Damn... how can they suddenly appear here... and that too in the Forest of Death!"

"We have to do something, at this rate, our children will definitely die!"

Instantly, the entire crowd burst into noise. People exclaimed in panic, worry, and anger.

The Matriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Mikoto was closely watching the battle between her son Sasuke and the Chunin for a while and also noticed four members of the Akatsuki Organization appear in the Viewing Screen, and exclaimed, "The direction those people are headed to... It's where Sasuke is!"

Unlike his wife Mikoto, Fugaku wasn't panicked, instead, he tried to analyze a few things and glanced in the direction of the Five Kages. Noting that the five Kages were sitting calmly and discussing something with excitement on their faces, he couldn't help but frown, "It's strange... The Akatsuki Organization is here, If those people are headed toward Sasuke, then their target is undoubtedly Uzumaki Naruto, yet the Five Kages are so calm?" – muttered Fugaku with a frown. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Seeing his parents worried, Itachi quickly explained, "Otou-san, Okaa-san, don't worry, those people are not members of Akatsuki, they are shinobi from Konoha who are pretending to be members of Akatsuki. Earlier Shisui-san informed me that this will be happening."

As Itachi informed his parents, Sandaime Hokage stood up on the stage and informed everyone that the five people on the screen were Konoha Shinobi disguised as members of the Akatsuki Organization. The purpose of their appearance is to test the trainee's response to the desperate situation.

Hearing Itachi's explanation, and Sandaime Hokage's words, Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded him, "Itachi you should have told us of this earlier, I was almost scared to death!"

The others in the crowd also breathed a sigh of relief, and their panic also subsided. At the same time, after understanding the gist of things, they admired the person who had the brains and guts to do something so crazy.

Mikoto added with a dissatisfied expression, "Really, Shisui and the others... they are going too far... the children aren't ready to face such a thing."

Itachi explained, "That's the entire purpose... The Principal of the Academy hopes to train those children using this real-world simulation assessment, and also determine the accurate character of all the trainees. After all, real growth happens only in desperate circumstances, and only in desperate circumstances can a person's true character be determined. So, this is not a normal assessment, this will determine how far those trainees will go in the future."

After Hearing Itachi's explanation, Mikoto looked at Fugaku and asked in a worried tone, "Anata... Sasuke... he will be fine, right?"

...

On Sasuke's side.

As the smoke gradually disappeared, the figures of Sasuke and the three Chunin appeared before everyone.

From one glance, everyone was able to see Sasuke easily dealing with the three Chunin teachers.

"Take this you arrogant kid!" cursed Mizuki in anger, and threw a Fuma Shuriken at Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked and jumped up to dodge the incoming Fuma Shuriken, however, at this time, something unexpected happened. Just as he jumped up, Sasuke felt that the soles of his sandals were stuck to something and pulled him back to the ground.

He looked down and soon realized that his feet had been stuck to the ground by a transparent liquid, 'Glue?' He was taken aback, and quickly pulled out two Kunais from his Shinobi Bag to deflect the Fuma Shuriken.

As the Fuma Shuriken was deflected, Sasuke looked in the direction of Iruka and asked, "Iruka-sensei... I didn't know that you could use such a Jutsu."

Iruka replied, "Well I have recently mastered this Jutsu upon Principal's instructions... but anyway, you have lost now Sasuke-kun... give up."

Sasuke smirked, "Don't be so sure Iruka-Sensei!" as his body exploded in a cloud of white smoke.

Iruka was taken aback, "Shadow Clone? When did he weave hand signs?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind Iruka, "As soon as I saw you use that Jutsu of yours with my Sharingan, I had already created Shadow Clone."

Iruka turned around and saw Sasuke coming towards him with a Tanto in his hand.
