Chapter 685 One Year

The next day, in the morning.

"I'm leaving. ”

After eating breakfast, he cleaned up briefly, and said to the Naruto siblings.

"Well, goodbye Dad!"

Mizuto rubbed her soft hair and looked at Naruto.

The lack of confidence in Naruto's eyes yesterday had disappeared.

"Come on. ”

With a chuckle, Mizuto stretched out his other arm and punched it at Naruto.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then also stretched out his arm, clashed his fist with the water gate, and nodded vigorously.

Mizuto smiled at them and disappeared in front of the Naruto siblings.

"Okay, it's time to start practicing!"

Naruto's fists and palms were clasped together, looking full of energy.

With that, Naruto walked out into the courtyard and sat down cross-legged.

His hands suddenly began to seal.

After encouraging Naruto yesterday, Mizuto told him that in fact, Naruto's physical foundation was not weak, and even a little stronger than Sasuke.

His only weakness is still in Chakra's control.

However, this kind of cultivation is not something that can be advanced by anyone who instructs you, and the most important thing is through accumulation and a certain amount of talent.

It's just that Naruto's talent is not bad, but his cultivation in chakra's control is fundamentally different from others.

So even Watergate can't find a solution to this problem for him.

"Whew..."

In the courtyard, Naruto slowly closed his eyes, and he concentrated all his energy and sank into his body and mind.

"Whew..."

The boy's breathing gradually becomes more even, and the most basic and important point of practicing chakra is to form perfect control of his body.

Whether it's movement, breathing, or heartbeat...

In front of the door, Asa Yu leaned against the side of the wall, looking at Naruto's back, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.

In the Hokage's office.

Shuimen looked at a scroll in his hand, his expression slightly solemn.

"It's really worthy of being one of the three ninjas, the most proud disciple of the third generation Hokage..."

He sighed, this scroll was sent back to Konoha by the Toad of Mt. Miaoki, and it recorded information about Orochimaru's whereabouts.

Naruto is five years old this year.

And the masked man attacked Konoha, Orochimaru defected, and Jiraiya Sensei left the village during that time.

For five years, Jiraiya-sensei has been tracking Orochimaru's whereabouts, but he has never been seen in person.

But through the information gathered over the years, plus what Orochimaru did in the village at that time.

This guy seems to be conducting some kind of human experimentation for an unknown purpose.

Over the years, he has also discovered several of his experimental bases.

"The teacher is a master in this area, but he can't catch his specific whereabouts. ”

Mizuto said, handing the scroll in his hand to the man in black in front of him, naturally it was Uchiha Yan.

Uchiha Yan, as the captain of the dark department, of course, also paid close attention to these things.

He had read the information that had been sent back from Jiraiya, and he also showed the same expression as Watergate.

"The masked man, the man in black, and the red sand scorpion, it seems that the world has evaporated over the years, and there is not much valuable information to be found. ”

Over the years, the dark department has never given up the pursuit of the masked man and his gang.

It's just that those people are just some S-class wanted criminals, and it's not easy to find them.

There is information about Kakuto, and Konoha has collected some of it over the years.

That guy has been hunting ninjas on the underground black market bounty list, appearing at black market gold exchange offices from time to time, exchanging corpses for money.

Konoha's ninjas have also encircled and suppressed it several times, but each time they have failed.

After all, Kakuto was a ninja at the same time as the original Hokage, and he had a lot of experience, and with his strength, how could he be caught easily.

"Don't worry, one day, they will appear in our sight on their own..."

Watergate nodded, it was useless to be anxious at this time.

He concluded that the masked man would strike again one day, but at that time, the object he wanted to conquer was not known whether it was Konoha or... The whole ninja world.

In addition to being afraid of his special abilities, what made Watergate even more elusive was the identity of this person and the black-robed man.

To this day, even if he searched through all the files and materials he could see, there was no information about them.

The masked man has a chakra eye, but even in the records of the Uchiha clan, there is no record of this person.

It was as if he appeared out of thin air, leaving no traces or information in this world.

The two of them were no longer entangled in this matter, and Uchiha Yan pondered for a moment before asking Mizumon, "What I told you last time, how was it?"

When Watergate heard this, he quickly took out a file from the drawer on the table in front of him.

In the name column of the file, it is [Uchiha Itachi]

It contains all the information about Itachi from birth to the present.

"With the quality of this child, it is indeed enough to enter the dark part. ”

Mizuto nodded, Itachi was only ten years old now, but he was already a pretty good ninja.

"What's more, when Zhishui entered the shadows, he wasn't much older than him, so I guess there should be no problem. ”

He laughed, Itachi can be regarded as a watergate who grew up watching from a young age, and it would be better if he was made a shadow minister directly under his jurisdiction.

And the weasel is young and old, with a calmness far beyond his own age.

"Well, they're all good seedlings. ”

The Uchiha nodded, and when he mentioned the water stop, there was a sense of relief in his expression.

Zhishui was brought into the dark by him, and at this time, his strength and prestige in the dark department were second only to him as the captain.

Seeing him grow up to this point in just a few years, the joy in his heart is indescribable.

"Hehe, you've really changed a lot..."

Seeing the kind of expression in his eyes, like the expression of a father when he saw his child achieve results, Shuimen couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, you're not too young, it's time to start a family..."

Over the years, Mizuto has mentioned this matter to Uchiha Yan more than once.

The two were born at the same time, and his children were about to enter the ninja school, but the Uchiha was still alone.

"It doesn't seem to be out of the scope of the work. ”

Uchiha-yan's face immediately became serious, and he lowered his eyes as he looked at the scroll that Mizumon had given him just now.

"It's just out of concern as a friend, it's not part of work. Watergate said.

Uchiha Yan raised his eyes and said, "If it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Uh..."

Watergate nodded helplessly.

The Uchiha turned around and left the Hokage's office.
