Chapter 10: The Wood Man at the Root

"Makoto, you want to participate in this special assessment?"

As soon as I entered the gate, I was asked by White Fang.

In the morning, Tsunade took this eye medicine and said depressedly:

"yes......

"Kaka~Come to Uncle~"

The next moment, Makoto's face changed to an expression that he thought was kind.

Kakashi, who was practicing against the target, glanced coldly at the trench-coat man with a disgusting smile on his face, and flew a kunai.

Easily grasping the kunai in his hand, Seigang wanted to use this as a reason to get close to the future Konoha genius, but he couldn't help but hear the sound of Zizi as if the flame had licked the grease.

Detonator.

Rumble!

In a flash, he escaped from the explosion range with a stand-in technique, and Makoto broke out in a cold sweat.

Careless......

"Shhh......hhh

Although he knew that this level of Yin damage was far from being able to kill this Uchiha's strongest genius in recent years, Hakuya still felt embarrassed, and just as he wanted to harshly scold Kakashi who was messing around, he heard Makoto who fled far away:

"Ahh …… My hand! It's worthy of being the son of Konoha White Fang, and he can hurt me! Kaka, as a sign of respect for you, I've decided not to let you call me uncle for the time being! ”

You're not an uncle in the first place, right...... Because he didn't let Makoto apprentice and inexplicably shorter White Fang, he thought weakly, and did you think Kakashi was a child?

Kakashi, who is extremely proud that his father is Konoha White Fang, was hit by Makoto, and in the past six months, Makoto's many teasing has finally borne fruit:

"Hmph...... If you can barely avoid my detonation charm, I will temporarily recognize your qualification to cultivate in the Qimu family. ”

All right...... It seems that Kakashi is indeed still a child......

White Fang supported his forehead, interrupting Makoto's too exaggerated acting skills:

"Makoto, you want to participate in this special assessment?"

was asked again, and sincerity sank in his heart, and put away his mind about joking.

"Yes...... Is there anything wrong with it at the request of the family? ”

"I remember you didn't have a single kill against the Shinobi, right?"

"Yes, so I'm also curious about how the assessment should be conducted."

White Fang turned around and motioned for Makoto to follow him.

"Have you ever heard of [wooden people]?"

Sitting down in the house, Kakashi obediently served tea to the side and nodded to him in gratitude.

"Wooden people?"

"The product of the root - through the technical means of brainwashing, to achieve the purpose of making people lose their emotions, not afraid of death in battle, even if they lose their limbs, they will fight with their teeth...... Puppet-like people. ”

Makoto gasped, and the guess in his heart suddenly became clear:

"Really?"

"That's right," White Fang picked up the fragrant teacup, took a sip, and said solemnly: "The opponent that the special masters need to face this time is the specialty of the root, the 'wooden man' of the upper ninja level." ”

Makoto fell silent and calculated quickly.

The so-called wooden people,Makoto's impression should be that he saw a root member like "sacrifice" in the manga in his previous life.,Because of the lack of emotion and the inhuman training of the root.,These people's willpower is quite strong.。

To some extent, the effect of illusion that works by shaking willpower is quite limited, which means that the illusion ninja in the eyes of everyone is restrained by the wooden people in this regard.

Coupled with the strength that the wooden people originally possessed, the probability of Cheng being able to pass the assessment, no, according to the urine nature of the root, the probability of Cheng being disabled due to an "accident" rather than death in the assessment is quite high.

White Fang glanced at Kakashi, who was sitting next to him, intending to expose him to more battles that the ninjas couldn't see, although he had always had a reputation as a genius in the circle, in Hakuya's opinion, Kakashi still had a lot to learn.

"So, Makoto you also understand, the illusions you are good at, as well as the tactics of my warfare that you have recently learned, have been restrained by the wooden people."

It's been targeted...... Cheng secretly smiled bitterly, and took a special assessment, asking the recommended ninja to have a single kill of the upper ninja, and pass the vote of the upper ninja.

There are very few ninjas who have a single ninja record in the middle of the ninja.,There are no such records and you have to apply for special qualifications.,Maybe there's only one person, right?

With this rule, it seems that some people in the upper echelons of the village want to give Yin Uchiha a hand.

Tsunade must have known, but this guy just wanted to watch the excitement and obviously stand by and watch.

If it weren't for White Fang's explicit words, the family would definitely be kept in the dark until the root sent this gift that would surely surprise them.

In terms of attributes, he was restrained by the wooden people, and if he was coupled with the other party's advantages over him as a ninja, the chances of Cheng succeeding in the assessment and even getting out of the body were very small.

But.

Even if he is targeted, even if he dies for a lifetime, it is by no means a reason for Makoto to retreat, and if he is like an ordinary Uchiha who only fights when the situation is in his favor, then what is his value as a [genius]?

The so-called genius is not a person who always has a 100% chance of winning, but a person who can turn this 1% chance into reality even if there is only a 1% chance.

Nine deaths are just a life, and the family will never allow him to be cowardly unless he [must die].

Now he has no ability to disobey the family's orders.

Geniuses use their talents to make the impossible possible again and again, and the family is rewarded for cultivating geniuses.

This is the relationship between [family] and [genius].

Makoto took a deep breath and suppressed the fear and excitement in his body, but a chill appeared in his eyes.

Wooden man, I remember......

It's rare to meet someone who knows the news and is willing to speak to himself, so Makoto decided to collect more information:

"So, is the assessment of the strength of the Water Gate-Human Pillar also carried out by the 'wooden man'?"

"Yes...... This special assessment seems to be undertaken by the roots. ”

White Fang knows everything, and he says everything. But that's all, despite having his own intelligence channels, it is the limit to be able to obtain these secrets related to the roots, and he doesn't know much about it.

"I see, thank you this time, Lord Whitefang."

Makoto put his hand on his lap and bowed deeply to White Fang.

Half a year is enough to prove that White Fang has no intention of snooping on the position of Uchiha and Hokage, and helping Makoto is completely out of personal relationships.

White Fang put down the teacup in his hand and accepted the salute of Makoto.

"So, Makoto, do you still want to practice today?"

Makoto's face was calm, and he had lost the ease he had when he first came, but he still replied earnestly:

"Of course, that's not enough to sway me."

Young Kakashi watched from the side, and suddenly noticed that the sharp temperament of the two men sitting facing each other was so similar.

ps: Seems to have been tipped ...... Thank you [Huang Ziyi] for your tips and evaluation votes, and ask you for a collection and recommendation...... And, hmm......
