Seeing that his first opponent turned out to be Itachi, Hongdou was very depressed, and his expression suddenly changed from eager to loveless.

Originally, she wanted to perform well in the third assessment and let Yusuke see her excellent side, but now she has no chance at all.

Sure enough, not long after the two fought, Red Bean was defeated by Itachi, which made Red Bean, who wanted to show his skills, very frustrated. This is still Itachi gave Hongdou, the senior, some face, and pretended to delay it, otherwise this battle would have ended faster.

Looking at the red beans who withdrew from the arena in frustration, Yusuke had to sigh in his heart that her luck was really bad.

This time in the middle ninja exam, except for Konoha, Yusuke didn't find any particularly outstanding characters. Itachi is young, but his strength is already the strongest of all.

Regarding Itachi and Azuki meeting in the first round, Yusuke doesn't think there is a shady scene. Shayin Village, one of the five great ninja villages, is not yet able to use such a method in a middle ninja exam.

Moreover, the results of the middle ninja exam are not completely based on the victory or defeat to evaluate whether a lower ninja is suitable for promotion to the middle ninja, but to combine his overall performance.

For example, Shikamaru in the original Konoha middle ninja exam, although he lost to Temari in the battle, he was the only lower ninja among the twelve small strong in Konoha who was promoted to middle ninja.

In the subsequent competition, several shinobi in Konoha Village performed very well, and itachi, who was only seven years old, was the focus of everyone's eyes in the whole assessment.

Itachi has a very high combat IQ and can always easily spot the weaknesses of his opponents in combat.

And he is very good at ninjutsu, illusion, and physical skills, and he can give his opponent effective blows in a very targeted manner. Defeating his opponent with minimal attrition also greatly compensates for his weakness of not having much chakra.

The four generations of Kazekage looked at Itachi with deep eyes as he defeated the last opponent on the field and won the final victory. Subconsciously turned his face to look at the young Yusuke not far away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's worthy of Konoha Village, and it's really full of talents. It is also one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, and our Sand Hidden Village is more than a step worse than Konoha. ”

Rasha's gaze was immediately noticed by Yusuke, who had a strong mental power. Yusuke turned his head to look, and he was staring at Raksha. Out of politeness, the two nodded slightly and gestured to each other, which was regarded as a greeting.

However, Yusuke saw the look of vigilance and worry in Raksha's gaze, and was obviously shocked by the performance of the Konoha Murakita shinobi on the field.

"Perhaps, it's time to make a decision!" Raksha thought of the one-tailed human pillar power plan proposed by the elder Chiyo.

In Chiyo's plan, the candidate for Ichio Pillar Force is Raksha's son who has just been born prematurely. Originally, Luo Sha couldn't bear to make this decision, but Konoha's outstanding performance in this middle ninja exam gave Luo Sha a great sense of crisis.

Although the Land of Fire is an ally of the Land of Sand, politically, there are never permanent friends, only eternal interests. When the strength of the Sand Hidden Village is not enough to be equal to Konoha, the Land of Wind can only be reduced to a vassal of the Land of Fire.

In Luo Sha's view, the Daimyo of the Land of Sand is really short-sighted, and it is simply digging his own grave to reduce the funds of Sand Hidden Village year by year. If it weren't for the fact that he could still rely on Magnetic Escape to obtain gold dust and sell it for money to supplement the village's use, Shayin Village would only continue to shrink in size and eventually become a second-rate ninja village.

"I'll love Luo, forgive me, this is the fate of being a ninja!" Luo Sha, who was troubled by the internal and external troubles of Shayin Village, also made up his mind at this moment to sacrifice his own son I Ailuo and implement the one-tailed human pillar power plan!

On the other side, Baiyun Yeshan was also amazed when he saw the performance of the ferret. thinks that with the talent shown by Itachi, it won't be long before he will be an excellent ninja who is not inferior to Yusuke, and he is also very envious of Yusuke for having a disciple like Itachi.

After the end of the middle ninja exam, Konoha's delegation did not stay in Sand Hidden Village for long, and Yusuke and Baiyun Hayama directly returned to Konoha Village with the six lower ninjas, and handed over the letter sealing the Sand Hidden Village's evaluation and promotion recommendations for the six lower ninjas of Konoha to the third generation.

Combined with the promotion opinions given by Shayin Village, the three generations finally decided that all six lower ninjas would be promoted to middle ninjas.

Among the six lower ninjas, Hongdou did not give a relatively high evaluation in the promotion proposal of Shayin Village because he had no chance to perform.

However, according to the advice of the guide Yusuke Kamishinobu and Baiyun Hayama, it is believed that the strength of the red bean, endurance, and the will not to drag down the team members in the mission have met the requirements of the middle ninja, so the third generation also agreed to her promotion to the middle ninja.

The six shinobi were very happy to learn that they had all been successfully promoted, and they met to celebrate together. This time, they participated in the Sand Hidden Village Middle Ninja Exam together, and they also established a good friendship between these lower ninjas. In particular, red beans and Kurama apricots have become good friends who talk about everything.

Leaving the Hokage Building, Yusuke returns home to find that Izumi and Dou are not there. I learned from my mother, Uchiha Hazuki, that the two are now practicing in the training ground.

Knowing that the two of them had not relaxed their cultivation in the slightest during his absence, Yusuke was very satisfied.

Coming to the training ground dedicated to himself and his disciples, Yusuke saw Izumi and Dou practicing from a distance.

Due to Izumi's penance to cultivate Uchiha-ryu swordsmanship, she is now better than Dou Yi in physical skills.

Dou, on the other hand, has an overwhelming advantage in ninjutsu, and the endless ninjutsu makes Izumi tired of coping. In the end, he was better and used the earth escape ninjutsu to trap the physically exhausted Izumi in it.

"Yes, it seems that you have not slackened during this time." At this time, Yusuke came over and rescued Izumi from the earth escape ninjutsu in his pocket.

"Brother!"

"Teacher!"

Izumi and Dou looked happy when they saw Yusuke.

Yusuke took out the Kusanagi sword 'Kikyo Senro Sakura' from the storage scroll, and the delicate-looking long knife immediately attracted the attention of the two. Especially Izumi, who is now keen on swordsmanship, is even more obsessed.

Handing the long knife to Izumi, Yusuke smiled, "Izumi, this is a gift for you, I believe you will not fail this sword!" ”

Izumi solemnly took the long knife and immediately looked at it carefully. This 'Kikyo Senluo Sakura' was originally specially made for female swordsmen, which made Izumi love it.

Holding the bellflower fairy cherry blossom, Izumi was both happy and moved. Although she is not very old, she can also see that this sword is worth a lot of money, and it must have been specially prepared for her by her brother.

At this time, in Yusuke's heart, he already had a plan for the future of the three disciples.

In Yusuke's opinion, as long as Itachi grows step by step, he can become a strong man at the shadow level or even more than the shadow level. And Yusuke's expectations for him don't stop there.

Dou is inferior to Itachi in terms of comprehensive talent, but he is a ninja with the talent of cultivating immortal arts!

This time, Yusuke and his party in Shayin Village got the information of the Dragon Cave from Orochimaru.

In the original book, Dou successfully learned the dragon cave immortal art that Orochimaru did not learn, and his use of immortal magic is definitely the first person in Naruto.

In Yusuke's view, the pocket with immortal arts and the pocket without immortal arts are completely different concepts!

However, the water in the Dragon Earth Cave is too deep, and there is a great risk in learning immortal arts. Yusuke also needs to wait until he has a grasp of these risks before he executes this plan.

And Quanmei, who is her sister and disciple, although her qualifications are not as good as the first two, she is also very good. She has shown a good talent in swordsmanship, and with the powerful dynamic vision of the writing wheel, she will inevitably be the number one swordsman in the ninja world in the future.

When the time comes, Yusuke plans to use spell seals for all three disciples to make up for some of the innate deficiencies of the three of them. Of course, this deficiency is only compared to the hanging ratios in the Hokage.

Now Yusuke has only developed the 'Liangyi Mantra' that can seal the Yin Chakra, and he has also made up his mind that he must develop the 'Reverse Liangyi Mantra' that can seal the Yang Chakra in the future. He also had a few choices in mind about the materials used to compose the 'Reverse Liangyi Spell Seal'.

Itachi is proficient in illusion, and Yusuke plans to use the 'Liangyi Mantra Seal' for him to strengthen his spiritual power with the Yin Escape Chakra, while Yusuke plans to use the 'Reverse Liangyi Mantra Seal' for them to strengthen the vitality of the two of them with the Yang Escape Chakra.

"With the talent of these children, I believe it won't be long before they can really help me!" Yusuke said expectantly.

Shortly after the end of the Shinobi exam in the Sand Hidden Village, Tsunade, who had been traveling abroad, received the news that the fourth generation Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate was seriously injured and unconscious, and he also returned to the village temporarily.

Although Tsunade is a more willful type in character, he has always gone his own way. But for the junior of Watergate, she still cares a lot. So even though I didn't want to go back to the village, I rushed back to see if I could help Pratunam recover.

Konoha Hospital, among the wards of Watergate.

Miyo, Tsunade, and Kakashi are standing in front of Mizuto's hospital bed, discussing Mizuto's injuries.

"I didn't expect the injury before Watergate to be so serious, if it was a normal person, he would have died a long time ago." Tsunade checked the state of the water gate and said with a serious expression.

"So, do you have a way to wake up the teacher?" Kakashi asked, with an eager look on his face.

Tsunade nodded and said, "There is a way, but..."

Speaking of this, Tsunade shook his head helplessly: "It's a long-term process, and I don't know how long it will take, and there's no way I'm going to stay in Konoha for so long." ”

"Although the injuries on Watergate's body are very serious, after such a long period of recuperation, he has actually fully recovered."

"But because I was hurt far beyond what ordinary people's bodies can bear, the mental or brain judgment of the body is already in a state of death, so I can't wake up for a long time."

"What we need to do now is to use a mild medical chakra to stimulate Watergate's brain for a long time, stimulate the activity of his brain, so that he can regain consciousness."

Hearing Tsunade's words, the three generations and Kakashi present understood what she meant implicitly.

Stimulating the brain with medical chakra requires a very high level of chakra control ability of a medical ninja, and the slightest carelessness can lead to extremely serious consequences, so only Tsunade himself is currently capable of performing this treatment.

And it is very obvious that Tsunade does not want to stay in Konoha Village for too long, and being able to come back to see the injury of Mizumon is already a big concession she has made.

"Tsunade, whether it's Watergate or Konoha, I need you to ...... like this" The third generation frowned, trying to persuade Tsunade to stay in Konoha. However, before he finished speaking, he was decisively rejected by Tsunade.

"Mr. Sarufei, I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of staying in the village now. Even if I was forced to stay, I didn't have the heart to do this treatment for Watergate day in and day out. If there is negligence in the process, it can be irreparable damage to Watergate. Tsunade waved his hand.

"Is it true that there is no chance for anyone else to perform this treatment for the teacher except you?" At this time, Kakashi asked unwillingly.

Hearing this, Tsunade thought for a moment and said slowly: "When you say that, it's not that there is no chance at all. ”
