Turn the time back to an hour ago, after Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Giyuu separated.
The moment Weasel left the training ground No. 4, a slender black cat appeared from the transparency.
It was wearing a vest and carrying a small schoolbag. It was Weasel's ninja cat.
"Did you find out who it was?"
Itachi knelt down and asked softly, taking out a piece of spicy dried fish from his ninja tool bag and handing it over.
This cat has such a special taste.
"It's Fugaku-sama, nya."
The black cat curled up its tail happily and swallowed the dried fish after chewing it twice. It looked like it was enjoying it very much.
"He was hiding deep in the woods over there, using the wind attribute chakara to blur his figure. Even I almost didn't notice him, nya."
Itachi narrowed his eyes.
[No wonder I felt an inexplicable pressure before, but there was no hostility...]
As early as when the three of them had lunch together, Weasel felt something strange, so he went to the corner on the pretext of going to the toilet, called out the psychic cat with excellent vision, and let him explore the surroundings.
The result was similar to his guess.
After all, it was hard for him to imagine that other than his father, who else would be so interested in the three brothers (Obito & Zetsu: 不q).
At the moment, Itachi still couldn't figure out when his father started peeping. How much he had seen and heard in the past.
Is Yiyong, who opened his eyes at the age of five, really worthy of his attention?
If he also knew that Giyuu possesses water-type chakra with extremely high affinity...
Itachi's expression gradually became serious, far from what he should look like at his age.
The more interested the father is in righteousness, the greater the danger that righteousness faces, and the higher the possibility that he will become a tool of a coup.
Therefore, he must find out how much his father knows; and what else does his father want to do now that he is still here.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and say hello to everyone for me."
Weasel touched the kitten's head and released the psychic spell.
Then, he separated two shadow clones and said to the first one: "I leave the mission of the Daimyo Madam to you."
"I understand. You have to be careful."
The first clone disappeared instantly.
In fact, Itachi had no interest in the mission at this time, but the Daimyo's wife was an important client and could not break the appointment.
Itachi turned to look at the second shadow clone: "You know where Shisui may be. When you ask him to come, tell him to pay attention to my signal."
"knew."
Shadow Clone No. 2 turned around and ran at full speed in the direction of the Uchiha clan.
Itachi sighed helplessly.
Although he didn't want to infer his father with malice, what he heard and saw in the past few years told him that he must use the worst plan to predict the behavior of an Uchiha tribesman.
If his father really knew about Yiyong's situation and planned to use him to deal with the village——
[Then I just ask Shisui to use that technique to make him change his mind.]
For Itachi, no matter what his father asked him to do, it was fine, but Sasuke and Giyuu were his bottom line and should not be involved in such things.
Even if he had to break up with his father, he would still prevent this from happening.
After the two clones completely disappeared from sight, Itachi quietly returned to Theater No. 4 and lurked under the trees marked by the cat.
He opened his Sharingan and finally saw a dark green shadow twenty meters away. His father used the color of wind chakra to hide his figure, blending perfectly with the surrounding leaves.
After finding the target, Itachi immediately looked away to prevent being sensed.
[Obviously I have left, but my father is still waiting here...]
【What on earth is he waiting for?】
Itachi frowned and made various guesses in his fast-running brain.
In the end, he still felt that he should stay here and wait for things to happen. After all, patience is the most basic quality of a ninja.
Five minutes later, the shadow clone searching for Shisui was released on its own, and the relevant memories were transferred along with it.
After a while, Itachi saw a crow on the treetop behind him, indicating that Shisui had arrived nearby and was lurking in the dark like him.
No one could have imagined that the most talented members of the Uchiha clan would gather together in Theater No. 4 just like this game. You stared at me, I stared at him, using the basic skills of ninja to...
, performed to the fullest.
Soon, an hour passed.
When Uchiha Flame appeared in this place, Uchiha Itachi couldn't figure out for a moment whether this was within his father's expectation.
If so, what exactly does his father, who knows that he should be on a mission at the moment, want Uchiha Enhuo to do?
Was it his father's own plan that lured him here?
Although he knew Shisui was nearby, Itachi was still worried that Sasuke and Giyuu would be harmed.
When Uchiha Enhuo was still a genin, he was a powder keg who dared to barbecue in public and connoted the Hokage-sama to be old, weak and fatuous. He often had conflicts with his fellow clan members within the clan, and it was not surprising that he did anything he did.
According to the information collected by Itachi, not long ago, because Uchiha Enhuo pursued personal performance too much and disdained cooperation with others, he failed to pass the jounin examination. He was also criticized on the spot by Elder Mito Kadoren, becoming the new jounin of Konoha.
jokes.
Since he couldn't prove himself through the examination, he set his sights on those young people in the clan whose strength was obvious to all, thinking that as long as he defeated them, he could prove that he had the strength of a Jonin.
Shisui, the most dazzling Uchiha, and Itachi, who was recognized by Shisui, were naturally on his list.
Itachi thought that he was slightly inferior to him in frontal combat, but he had many ways to defeat him.
But he also knew that even if such a person defeated him, he would stick to him endlessly and continue to challenge him, so he simply hid away and never went to the training ground within the clan again.
Unexpectedly, he actually found this place.
But when Itachi saw the Uchiha genin being suddenly defeated by Giyuu, he was shocked and decided one thing -
I can't let my father watch anymore.
Although I don’t know how much my father knows, the less the better.
So, he gestured to the crow, or Shisui's clone——
【They will leave it to you.】
He was confident that he would use tactics to deal with Uchiha Enhuo's bad temper, but Shisui, who had up to par in terms of physical strength, would only be faster than him.
[If the father leaves a shadow clone, destroy him.]
After conveying the news, Itachi transformed into an ANBU ninja, put on the disaster relief mask given by Giyu, and threw a kunai directly towards his father's hiding place, the kind that went straight, without using the Uchiha clan's kunai.
Throwing skills.
When the kunai flew over, it was caught between two fingers without any accident, successfully attracting Uchiha Fugaku's attention.
When the Sharingan, whose pupils were far more powerful than Itachi's, looked at him warily, Itachi felt as if the veins behind his knees were crawling with spiders, and he almost lost control of his body.
too strong!
Is this what it felt like to face his father's enemy?
And the difference in pupil power——
[Could it be said that father and Shisui have the same eyes? 】
The thought passed away in a flash.
Itachi came back to his senses the moment he fell into a trance, and escaped at great speed. After leaving the training ground No. 4, he continued to rush towards the outskirts of Konoha, but was soon chased away by his father who was even faster.
Coming up, the way was blocked by a volley of kunai.
At such a close distance, he didn't expect his transformation technique to be able to hide from his father's Sharingan, so he immediately changed back to his original state.
"Father."
Itachi turned around and took off his mask, bowed slightly and saluted.
Although his attitude was respectful, his face was gloomy.
Fugaku's expression was not much better after his secret was exposed - just now, the shadow clone he left behind was also silently destroyed.
And he could probably guess who did it.
"I have already made arrangements for Sasuke and Giyuu."
Itachi said calmly: "Next, I hope to have a conversation with you between father and son."
The tense atmosphere spread between the two.
Could it be said that the father and son, who have been estranged since two years ago, are finally going to show off their cards to each other?
…
At the same time, on the other side.
【what happened?】
This was the common thought in the minds of all Uchiha people present except for Giyuu.
Looking at the tribesman lying on the ground with his eyes closed, they felt that their eyes were broken.
Among them, Sasuke saw it most clearly, and therefore was the most unbelievable.
When the young tribesman holding the rope walked towards them, he may have been confused by Yiyong's age and did not show any caution, so he was slapped directly below the sternum by Yiyong.
That location was no different from the place where Yiyong attacked when he was angry, but the result was completely different.
He actually, directly, fainted?
A genin wearing a forehead protector was knocked unconscious by Giyuugan with a simple punch?
【How much strength does this take?】
Sasuke clearly thought that he had overestimated his brother enough, but he found that he was wrong again, and he was even a little scared.
He often snatches Yiyong's quilt when he sleeps at night.
However, there was no time to ask or be jealous at this moment. He reached for the ninja bag behind his butt with his left hand, and stood side by side with Giyu holding a kunai in his right hand.
Although I don’t know when my brother will come back, and why he didn’t leave a shadow clone as usual...
But he decided to fight against the enemy together with Giyu, and he must not embarrass Itachi who taught him his skills.
The other three people standing in the field exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes no longer looked relaxed as before.
"As expected of the patriarch's son, is he overnourished at such a young age?"
Uchiha Yanhuo raised his eyebrows and said with regret: "You can obviously have such a strong body, but you refuse to serve for the clan, and you still say such a long list of reasons... It is really a waste of this talent.
"It seems that the patriarch is still too doting on you..."
If Uchiha Fugaku were here, he would really want to scream that he was wronged.
"Instead of caring about my body, you should care more about the condition of this tribe."
Yiyong retorted expressionlessly: "Based on your attitude towards him, it's easy to see that if you become the leading jounin, your subordinates will probably die soon. The village must have considered this to prevent you from becoming
Jounin handle."
As a pillar, he naturally has his own subordinates. However, in order to avoid the sacrifice of his subordinates, he has always completed all ghost hunting operations in the area he is responsible for alone.
It's not that he thinks he's so powerful that he can take care of everything, but because seeing others being killed by ghosts makes Yiyong feel more painful than being injured himself.
But do ninjas feel the same way?
He didn't know.
But with Uchiha's style, most people would never admit it even if they did.
"A sharp-tongued brat!"
Uchiha Yanhuo was poked at a painful spot once again, and his teeth clenched together, wishing to send Giyuu a huge fireball right in the face.
"I was knocked down by a kid who was less than six years old. Do I still need to care about this kind of person?"
He glanced at the genin who fell to the ground, combined with his previous experience of being laughed at, and made a rather cruel judgment.
"His ninja career ends here. The humiliation of this incident will accompany him throughout his life!"
[Of course, if you are stimulated to open your eyes further, it will be another matter. 】
Hearing what he said, the remaining two genin shivered unconsciously.
"Sasuke and I will not tell anyone what happened today, and his reputation will not be damaged."
Yiyong's words made them slightly moved. Do some people take this kind of record seriously?
If it were them, it would probably be a lifelong conversation piece.
"Go away and don't disturb us again."
He stared at Uchiha Yanhuo's eyes and carefully analyzed the opponent: "And even if Itachi is willing to fight you, with your impulsive and simple brain, you will never be his opponent. On the contrary, it will affect these tribesmen and people."
You failed together. Since you regard failure as a shame, don't humiliate yourself anymore."
【oops!】
Shisui, who was observing in the forest, slapped his forehead with his palm.
[How could I forget that the longer Yiyong’s words become, the more irritating they become. 】
Originally, he thought he wouldn't have to show up.
But this time, the conflict was suddenly intensified!
Except for Uchiha Yanhuo, who was about to explode with anger, the other two people who were still conscious looked at each other. It was unclear whether the paralyzed brat wanted to calm them down or anger them, but an emotion called confusion was still with them.
Angry hearts burned at the same time.
Especially Uchiha Flame, who has been verbally attacked over and over again, has completely lost the patience he should have towards children.
"Catch them! Catch them! I'm going to hang that kid up and sew his mouth shut!"
He used his last bit of reason to suppress the urge to take action himself, and shouted angrily: "You two, show some real skills, or go and kill the jounin in the village!"
"yes!"
These two genin, like the one who was knocked unconscious just now, are both graduates of the ninja school this year.
After graduation, they rejected the assignment from the village and planned to follow their family's wishes and become his subordinates directly after Uchiha Enhuo became the leading jounin, so as to avoid being targeted by jonins in the village who were biased against Uchiha.
Therefore, even if they are unwilling to bully the small, they still have to fulfill their boss's instructions seriously.
Especially when these two children are still in some danger.
"One for each person."
The two genin looked at each other and assigned tasks, heading towards Giyuu and Sasuke respectively.
【Doesn’t it make sense? 】
Yiyong looked a little confused.
He clearly felt that he had done a good job analyzing the other party, so why were they still entangled and even looking angry?
The one who should be angry is obviously his lunch break, okay?
Unlike Giyuu who tried his best to avoid conflicts, Sasuke looked eager to try.
"Let you also see how powerful I am."
Sasuke was excited to finally have a chance to actually fight.
He swung his small left hand forward, and the three shurikens drew three arc trajectories in different directions, shooting towards the man in front of him.
This was exactly what he studied in the morning, and he didn't expect to be able to use it so soon.
【Using Uchiha's shuriken technique to deal with Uchiha? This is not very smart.】
Uchiha Enhuo and Shisui who were observing secretly thought at the same time.
The latter also had a few shurikens between his fingers just in case. The reason why he didn't take action was because he wanted to see what level Itachi's two younger brothers were able to defeat even Bandu, the leader of the Fugaku clan.
If I can't get on board, I'll keep a close eye on you here.
Anyway, this distance, with his level of teleportation skills, is enough to prevent any accidents from happening.
Sure enough, Sasuke's new arc-shaped shuriken technique might make ordinary ninjas panic a little, but when dealing with Uchiha, it seems like he is trying to do what he does best.
"Kid, I've already mastered the things you just started to learn!"
The genin raised his right hand and threw only one shuriken, but he accurately missed the shuriken in the middle. The latter deflected and then bounced to the side, connecting with the shuriken on the far right.
fall.
The last one was knocked away by the genin with a kunai.
He jumped lightly onto a tree nearby, opened a Magatama Sharingan, opened his bow left and right and threw six high-speed rotating shurikens, flying towards Sasuke's body.
"This is a return gift!"
Looking at the sharp edges that were getting closer and closer to him, Sasuke's face turned pale, thinking that he would probably be seriously injured today, even if he didn't die.
But if he had the Sharingan, he could see that the target of those shurikens was not his body, but the position behind him.
The transparent silk threads tied to the shuriken are the real protagonists of this move.
After all, the mission assigned to the genin was not to kill the clan leader's son, but to subdue him.
Therefore, among Uchiha's techniques, there is no more suitable move than this one.
【Do you practice shurikenjutsu?】
Shisui, who was observing secretly, nodded approvingly, "He is as good as Itachi was when he was seven years old. He is a very good junior."
Just when Sasuke was beginning to think about his last words because he didn't understand the situation, another genin chose to engage in direct combat with the hero.
A sheathed ninja sword was slashed towards Giyuu's head, but Giyuu dodged it by a hair's breadth.
He didn't use the Sharingan or Transmighty World, because this genin's speed was far from that level, and he could easily dodge just by relying on his reflexes developed from killing demons for many years.
Taking advantage of the opponent's opening, Giyuu planned to knock him down with one blow just like he did with the genin just now, but because of his luck, he regained some strength.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard, and the heel of Giyuu's palm hit the protrusion of the genin's sword.
But as he imagined, the genin fell directly to the ground did not happen. His face was pale, he held his stomach and took two steps back, his eyes full of fear.
Yiyong frowned and used the Transparent World in confusion. Only then did he realize that the surface of the opponent's abdomen was covered with a layer of chakra, which acted as a protective film. However, it had been broken up by him and was fading rapidly.
As for the principle, I think it should be similar to the previous use of test strips to guide chakra to the acupoints on the hands, except that there is an additional process of radiating chakra to the muscles and skin tissues around the acupoints.
This genin was able to complete this entire process the moment he was hit, which was already considered extremely outstanding.
However, even though he covered his body with chakra to block part of the force, his stomach was still churning at this moment, and the sweat on his forehead kept pouring out.
[It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!]
【If I get hit by him again, I will spit it out!】
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the kid in front of him, Sasuke's desperate scream caught Giyuu's attention.
Giyuu quickly turned around, grabbed the six threads gathered behind Sasuke and yanked hard, directly pulling the unresponsive genin off the tree.
【Can he see it?】
Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened as he was about to take action.
When Itachi's clone found him, it had already briefly told him what happened from last night to today, and Giyu Kaiyan was naturally among them.
But just now when Giyuu casually grabbed those transparent silk threads that were thinner than fishing line, he didn't use the Sharingan at all.
What exactly is going on?
And even if he could see it, how could he keep up with the moving speed of those lines and grasp them with such precision?
But his doubts were quickly replaced by a new shock.
Just when Giyuu turned to help Sasuke, another genin finally found an opportunity, picked up the sheathed ninja sword in his hand and stabbed Giyuu in the vest.
"Kid, do you dare to be distracted when fighting ninjas?"
With such great force, if you stab it directly with the blade of a ninja sword, you can break through even a wall.
Thinking about it, this genin thought that no matter how strong the brat was, he would probably be injured, so he already felt that victory was in sight.
However--
Yiyong turned around in time, stretched out his left index finger, and stabbed the tip of the ninja sword with great swiftness.
"Breath of Water·Seven Forms·Shizuku Wave Stab."
This is Shizuku's ripple thrust that is executed purely using body strength! It is also the sword type with the fastest start among all the sword types of the Call of Water.
The next moment, the scabbard that was hit by Yiyong's finger actually broke apart and exploded into a ripple-shaped circle in mid-air, and then fell into pieces from the air.
The genin felt a strong shock coming from the sword and involuntarily let go of the handle, but the pain in his hand continued.
Giyu stretched out his hand to grab it, grasped the ninja sword, and cut off the six silk threads in his right hand neatly, and the six shurikens also fell to the ground.
And this isn't over yet.
Before the genin holding the sword could react, Giyuu turned around again and hit him in the neck with the handle of the sword, causing the former to fall into a coma.
As for the remaining Uchiha genin who had been dragged out of the technique, seeing Giyuu looking at him expressionlessly, his expression became extremely nervous and he just wanted to keep a distance from him.
"Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"
He puffed up his cheeks, quickly formed several seals with his hands, and spit out a dozen palm-sized flames from his mouth.
These flames bite Giyuu in an arc at a speed not inferior to that of shurikens.
However, Giyuu was not afraid of this red attack. After pushing Sasuke away from where he was, he stamped his feet on the ground and jumped high into the air, like a flying fish leaping from the phoenix fire.
When he passed, the ninja sword in his hand looked as if he was going to chop directly at the genin's neck.
"don't want!"
The genin shouted in despair, and Giyuu immediately threw his sword and raised his hand. The moment he landed on the ground, he slashed his palm horizontally, hitting the genin in the abdomen.
"Water Breath·One Type·Water Slash."
With a "bang" sound, the genin was smashed into the earth flow wall on the side by a huge force, and was buried in a cloud of dust.
At this point, in less than fifteen seconds, the two genin fainted one after another. Either their eyes turned white or they felt like mosquito coils. In short, it was impossible to stand up in a short period of time.
In the forest, Uchiha Shisui, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, opened his mouth slightly and didn't know how to convey it to Itachi.
Uchiha Sasuke was completely numb and pinched his face hard, but he didn't even feel any pain.
[Sure enough, it’s an illusion...]
Uchiha Yanhuo, on the other hand, was a little at a loss.
The first genin was knocked down because he had no vigilance at all, so it was considered excusable.
But the remaining two people have already done all the means they can use without killing killers——
In theory, he used all the C-level ninjutsu that only a chuunin could learn, but he couldn't even leave a single wound on those two brats.
To be honest, even if Uchiha Itachi appeared now and was defeated by him, he would be too shameless to say anything about winning.
At least in terms of training "subordinates", I am far behind.
Besides, if my younger brother who has not yet gone to school is exaggerating like this, then Uchiha Itachi, who is five years older than this brat...
"it's over."
Giyuu grabbed the three genin and put them in a row, "Take them away, this kind of battle is meaningless."
[There will be no sense of joy when they win, but they will feel guilty because they are worried about their injuries.]
After all, in Yiyong's eyes, these people are still children.
Uchiha Yanhuo didn't speak. He looked at the appearance of his three subordinates, and his heart was filled with a sense of humiliation and annoyance, but he also understood that at least two of them had tried their best.
Even based on physical fitness alone, the strength of this paralyzed brat was far beyond what the genin could handle.
[Forget it, let’s take them back for treatment first.]
【I don’t have the nerve to stay any longer.】
【But I still feel a little unhappy.】
"Kid, your name is Uchiha Giyu, right?"
Uchiha Enhuo lifted a genin on one shoulder and lifted another with his left hand. He looked at Giyuu's deep eyes and raised his eyebrows.
"Have you really never learned anything about chakra extraction?"
"I just learned it today." Yiyong said honestly.
"Didn't you learn ninjutsu?"
Uchiha Yanhuo asked again, not knowing what he was planning.
"I don't want to learn."
Yiyong shook his head.
Although he didn't want to learn Uchiha's art, because he turned on the [Transparent World] during the battle, he accidentally saw the sealing method of the Phoenix Fire Art and the veins and acupuncture points of chakra flow clearly...
"oh."
Uchiha Yanhuo suddenly smiled evilly and nodded, "Then you must not have learned how to dispel illusions, right?"
"without……"
Before Giyuu finished his sentence, he saw the Sharingan in Uchiha's eyes turning in a circle, and his whole body suddenly fell into a sluggish state, motionless, and his face suddenly became extremely pale.
"Giyu!" Sasuke hurried over, "Giyu, what's wrong with you?!"
But no matter how loudly he yelled, Yiyong just stared ahead with an ugly face, and after a while he actually shed tears.
"what have you done?!"
Sasuke turned his head and glared at Uchiha Flame, "What did you do to Giyu?"
"The Naraku no Jutsu, a small D-level illusion that allows him to see the things he fears most in his heart."
Uchiha Yanhuo replied, "Looking at his expression, he probably saw that he was spanked by the clan leader.
"This is just a small greeting gift, there won't be any side effects. When Uchiha Itachi comes back, he will naturally help him untie it."
He stretched out his foot to trip up Sasuke who was blocking his way, and said provocatively: "Tell Itachi that you are welcome to come to me to avenge his brother."
After saying that, he took his three subordinates, passed between the two rows of earth flow walls, and walked away.
When he thought about it, using this low-level illusion technique not only caused no real harm to the brat, but also angered Itachi Uchiha into fighting him, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
However, after walking about twenty steps, he heard Sasuke's somewhat surprised voice.
"Yiyong, are you awake?"
【Are you kidding?】
Uchiha Yanhuo turned his head suddenly, only to find that the child named Giyu was no longer where he was.
Giyu bent down, picked up the ninja sword that had been thrown on the ground, and suddenly turned his head to look in his direction. A pair of Magatama Sharingan eyes with a slightly strange color stared at him with anger.
, just like seeing the enemy who killed his father.
【Sharingan?】
At this moment, Uchiha Yanhuo understood that the current appearance of Uchiha Giyuu did not come out of the illusion.
It's just that the thing that scares him happens to be the thing that he wants to kill.
[You don’t want to fight with me——]
"The breath of water..."
Yiyong's hand emitted bursts of blue fluorescence, and the water in the artificial lake not far away suddenly surged up. The water inside seemed to be summoned and rolled into a long twisted vortex until all the water inside was drained away.
.
"Ten types..."
Yiyong's body was slightly lowered, and he seemed to be ready to rush forward!
And the constant vortex seems to have been carved and kneaded by invisible hands, taking on a rough shape.
An ice-blue water dragon about fifty meters long was entrenched behind Yiyong, and it was still growing!
[Hey, hey, hey, hey, what’s going on with this water dragon bomb that appeared out of thin air!]
Uchiha Yanhuo was sweating profusely. He hurriedly threw away the three "burdens" on his body, and quickly formed seals with his hands like butterflies.
"Earth Release·Multiple Earth Current Walls!"
As he finished the seal, dozens of small earth flow walls that were already in the field began to move and stack on the ground, forming a wide barrier more than three meters thick in front of him!
And one after another, earth flow walls of the same size also rise from the ground like arranged bookshelves, completely covering the space between Uchiha Enhuo and Tomioka Giyu.
Just as the last large earth flow wall was rising, the water dragon behind Yiyong had completely taken shape, his eyes suddenly flashed, he raised his head, and let out a dragon roar that resounded through the sky.
"Life and death flow!"
Immediately, the water dragon and Yiyong's body launched a decisive impact forward with unstoppable terrifying power!
The first giant earth flow wall, as he turned around, was smashed by the dragon head and turned into thousands of clods of earth!
The difference from the B-level ninjutsu Water Release and Water Dragon Bullet is——
Every time the Ten Types turn around, the next attack will be strengthened, each time getting stronger than the last!
These earth flow walls that are supposed to restrain water escape are unable to restrain this long blue dragon that will continue to grow.
Eventually, it will bite the body of the guy Giyuu wants to kill!
