The usually quiet Uchiha Mansion was particularly lively today.
He was a little confused.
I quickly got up, got dressed, opened the door, and saw the clansmen hurriedly inside the courtyard.
It's definitely not moving.
Being smart since childhood, he soon discovered that the tribesmen passing by were all heavily armed, as if they were going on a faraway mission, or a war.
Uchiha Itachi thought of this and hurriedly ran to the hall.
"Mother."
He greeted with respect.
Uchiha Mikoto.
His mother is the strongest ninja in the Uchiha clan.
Although he was very strict with him, he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Hope your son will become a dragon.
He believes that his mother has very high demands on him.
After all, he is also the son of the clan leader, so he cannot weaken her majesty.
"Mom, what happened today?"
Itachi Uchiha sat obediently opposite Mikoto. While he was speaking, he looked around and did not see his father, Uchiha Fugaku.
He was even more certain in his mind that it was the reason for the war.
But he was confused.
With whom?
Aren't we still having the Chuunin Examination with Sunagakure Village and Kumogakure Village these days?
Although he was not at the scene, he watched the live broadcast on TV at home.
The two Uchihas who took the exam performed extremely well.
Uchiha Obito was a name he had heard since he was a child, but his personality didn't quite match him, so his relationship was average.
But Uchiha Shisui was very close to him and could be considered like-minded friends.
Because Mikoto had been strictly disciplined since he was a child, he hardly knew anyone of his own age.
Shisui is two years older than him and is Haruki's apprentice, so Mikoto won't stop him.
Uchiha Itachi liked his friend very much.
Strong and well-spoken.
So much so that at the age of three, he had a longing for school.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Mikoto turned her head and glanced at Uchiha Itachi, showing a faint smile, "You are still young and not suitable for participating in these adult matters."
Although she had a close eye on Uchiha Itachi because of genjutsu, it didn't mean that she hated her son.
After all, it's just an illusion.
If seven years have passed, the content in the illusion does not match reality.
Except for her son's name.
"Is there going to be a war?"
Uchiha Itachi is at home all year round, so when he suddenly encounters such a big event, he is inevitably very curious.
Mikoto touched his head and said, "It's a war with Yunyin Village."
"Huh?" Uchiha Itachi's eyes were surprised, "Didn't we jointly hold the Chunin Examination with us recently? How could there be a fight?"
"The Raikage failed to assassinate Lady Tsunade yesterday."
Mikoto thought about it and didn't hide it. Her son had been extremely smart since he was a child, and his talent was frighteningly high.
"How dare they attack Lord Hokage!" Uchiha Itachi said angrily.
Influenced by Mikoto and Shisui, he respected Naruto very much, even worshiped him.
Because in his heart, both Mikoto and Shisui are very powerful ninjas, so wouldn't the Hokage who can manage them be even more powerful?
In addition, Shisui often told him that he would become Hokage in the future.
Mikoto couldn't help but smile: "They have paid the price."
"So we, the Uchiha clan, are also going to the battlefield?" Itachi Uchiha raised his head.
"Yes. Just half an hour ago, Fugaku brought forty people to the meeting point." Mikoto said.
Ninjas are not like the army of the Land of Fire, they must gather in the military camp at all times.
Apart from training, they are usually at home or on missions.
Now Haruki wants to summon 10,000 ninja troops. Naturally, it is impossible to summon them immediately. It will take a certain amount of time.
"What about you?"
"I'm not going."
Mikoto shook her head and said, "I want to take some people to the east of the Fire Country to prevent the Water Country."
"Oh, can I go?"
Itachi Uchiha looked at Mikoto expectantly, "Both mother and father have gone out, and I'm bored at home."
"You go to school."
Mikoto rejected his request and said flatly, "You are only three years old, and you are of age to go to school, not to go to the battlefield."
"go to school?"
Uchiha Itachi was not depressed at all, and was even a little excited.
If you go to school, you can meet a lot of peers, and Shisui is also in school right now.
"But why did my mother suddenly allow me to go to school?"
"You were young before and did not reach the required age, but now as you said, your father and I both want to go out, so I applied to the teacher."
Mikoto said with a smile.
She called Uchiha Inari.
A young man wearing Konoha jounin uniform walked in outside the door.
He has long brown hair and a calm face.
"Mikoto-sama."
"Well, you can take Itachi to report to school now."
"OK."
Uchiha Inari waved to Uchiha Itachi.
"Mom, I'm leaving first."
Uchiha Itachi smiled and waved, then stopped when he reached the door, turned around and said, "Mom will be back soon."
Mikoto nodded with a smile in her eyes.
Uchiha Itachi followed Uchiha Inari to Konoha University.
The current principal is still Haruki, but he happens to be away, and the person who greets him is Takahiro Oki.
He had already received the news from Miqin, so he was not surprised.
According to Uchiha Itachi's wishes, he was assigned to Shisui's class.
"Shisui is not at school, they are taking the final exam at the high tower in Konoha Forest."
After Uchiha Itachi heard about Shisui's whereabouts from Oki Takahiro, he quickly rushed to Konoha Forest.
After overnight repairs, a tall tower was re-erected.
When Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Inari arrived, the third game was going on.
He glanced at the screen.
The nine genin who entered the finals are Scorpion, Maki, Hayakura, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Uchiha Shisui, Metkai, and Sarutobi Asuma.
The top three are Sunagakure Village, and the bottom six are Konoha Village.
The first match is between Hayakura and Sarutobi Asuma.
Ye Cang possesses special Burning Release, but Asuma fell short in the end and lost the game.
The second game is Nohara Lin vs. Metkai.
Although Nohara Rin learned the strange power from Haruki, she naturally had no chance of winning when she met Kai who was the Eight Gate Dungeon.
After playing for a few minutes, she had no desire to win and simply gave up.
The ones currently fighting in the arena are Uchiha Shisui and Maki.
What surprised Itachi Uchiha was that Maki, who was a few years older, was not Shisui's opponent.
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
His friend is actually so strong.
However, his age is a flaw, and being able to reach this point is the limit.
In the next round, I was very unlucky to meet Uchiha Shisui and was helplessly defeated.
His special teleportation technique is not that useful in front of a Sanmagatama.
The last two games were an eye-opener for Itachi Uchiha.
From his point of view, the battle of jounin was nothing more than that.
But it is a pity that their Uchiha Obito did not become the first place, but the fourth place.
He met Kakashi.
The battle between the two teammates was particularly exciting.
But Kakashi defeated the current Obito with his second-class performance.
However, Kakashi did not become number one, he lost to Gai.
In order to defeat his lifelong enemy, Gai used the pill given by Tsunade, and the ninja opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gate Dungeon, and won with the Peacock.
Although the pill has no side effects in a short period of time, the consumption of chakra is too huge. Facing the final Scorpion, he can only admit defeat.
After the game, the Fourth Hokage Tsunade and the Third Kazekage gave all nine of them the title of Chunin.
In addition, there were some defeated genin, totaling twenty-seven.
"Hokage-sama, where is Haruki-sensei?"
After the awarding ceremony, Kakashi didn't see Haruki and asked curiously.
His two teammates, Obito and Nohara Rin, also set their sights on Tsunade.
"He went to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Thunder."
Tsunade paused slightly and said, "You must have noticed the commotion last night. It was the Third Raikage who sneaked up on us."
Kakashi nodded. He knew there was such a big movement last night.
However, I was still a little surprised when I heard Tsunade's words.
I didn't expect Yunyin Village to be so bold.
He raised his head and said: "Hokage-sama, the three of us are now chunin and students of Haruki-sensei. I want to receive a battlefield mission."
Obito and Nohara Rin also nodded.
They are the strongest students in this class, and now that they have become Chunin, they naturally want to go to the battlefield to prove themselves.
After all, they are not saints.
Especially Obito and Kakashi, they also want to become famous in the ninja world like Hatake Sakumo and Haruki.
How cool.
Of course, Kakashi wanted to prove that he was no worse than his father. When others mentioned him, he was not the son of Konoha White Fang, but Kakashi Hatake.
Tsunade saw their thoughts, she smiled and said: "Of course you are qualified, but you are not going to the Kingdom of Thunder, but to the Kingdom of Rain."
"Ah? Are we going to fight the Kingdom of Rain?"
Obito instinctively doesn't like the weather in the Land of Rain, and he's not stupid. It's obviously easier to gain fame on the battlefield of the Land of Thunder.
"Akatsuki Organization, do you know about it?" Tsunade asked.
"I know." The three nodded.
Haruki told them about the Akatsuki Organization. Strictly speaking, the three leaders of the Akatsuki Organization were their senior brothers and sisters.
Moreover, I also met them when performing tasks related to the Oshima Chamber of Commerce.
How to say?
The relationship with Konoha is neither good nor bad.
"Haruki received news from the Oshima Chamber of Commerce, saying that they were betrayed, their whereabouts were discovered by Hanzo, and they fell into a bitter battle."
Tsunade took out a scroll, handed it to Kakashi, and said with a smile, "This is an S-level mission, are you interested?"
Kakashi and Obito's eyes lit up.
They have never been exposed to S-class missions. Once completed, it will add a lot of color to their resumes.
And as a chuunin, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself.
"Are you going to kill Hanzo?"
Obito asked enthusiastically.
It was obvious that he had swelled.
The titles of Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya as Sannin were originally given by Hanzo.
And now the opportunity lies in front of the three of them.
"You are brave."
Tsunade shook her head.
She actually didn't quite understand why Haruki had to ask Kakashi and the others to go to the Land of Rain.
"Jiraiya is leading the team this time. He will explain the specific tasks to you."
Tsunade looked at the three of them and said in a solemn voice, "Hanzo's power has been known to everyone for a long time. Although you three are geniuses, you must not act rashly. You must obey Jiraiya's orders in everything. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Kakashi and the other three said in unison.
Obito may swell, but Kakashi and Nohara Rin don't.
"Go ahead, Jiraiya will be waiting for you at the Konoha gate at nine o'clock tomorrow."
