Konoha 49, October 10.

Exactly one year has passed since the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Today is Naruto's first birthday.

Early in the morning, Makoto Uchiha was called to the Hokage's office by Bo Feng Shuimon.

"Watergate seniors."

Makoto Uchiha said helplessly.

This period of time can be regarded as keeping him busy.

Kakashi was overshadowed by the fact that many of the tasks of the sixth class of the dark department were backlogged on the head of the seventh class.

For the success rate of the mission and the safety of the team members, many missions are led by Makoto Uchiha himself.

In addition, he has to seize the time to practice every day, and he really feels that there is not enough time.

But busy and busy, this kind of life is quite fulfilling.

It would be better if you didn't have to run outside the village every now and then.

However, Makoto Uchiha finally waited for the moment of liberation.

Three days ago, Kakashi was finally activated by Makoto Uchiha's pupil power to activate the sleeping kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

Now lying in the hospital again.

Only this time, by the time Kakashi had been cultivating for almost a week, Makoto Uchiha's burden would be much lighter.

Bo Feng Shuimen smiled, "Today's task is relatively easy, and you need to be the chief examiner of the actual combat test of the Shangnin Exam." ”

"Shinobi exam?"

Makoto Uchiha was stunned for a moment, the exams in the village have been quite frequent recently.

"Hmm." Bo Fengshuimen nodded, "The examiner of the comprehensive test is Lu Jiu.

Your task this time is very simple, all you need to do is maintain order in the exam and try to make sure that there are no seriously injured ninjas during the exam.

After all, every middle ninja and future upper ninja are important talents. ”

"So, isn't the result of the negotiation with Yun Yin unsatisfactory?"

Makoto Uchiha muttered, the frequent exams reminded him of the recent situation.

Bo Fengshui said: "Yun Yin asked us to release the two-tailed human pillar force, but he avoided talking about the matter of peace talks and alliances, without the slightest sincerity. ”

"It seems that if they don't subdue Yun Yin, if it hurts, they won't give up easily."

Makoto Uchiha's face was slightly gloomy, and Yun Yin knew that Konoha had a hard fist, but he still wanted to try.

Bo Fengshuimen rubbed his eyebrows, pointed to a stack of documents on the left, and said:

"If Yun Yin wants to fight, Konoha will definitely accompany him.

It's just that now I can only wait for Yun Yin to strike first.

The reputation for being belligerent is not good.

Before he became the Hokage, it was easier.

As a shinobi, you only need to obey orders to complete the task.

Once you have sat in this position, you need to think about the problem comprehensively. ”

Makoto Uchiha frowned slightly and said, "What? Is there anyone in the village who is against it?

He didn't want to go to war either, but it was useless to oppose this kind of war that was almost unavoidable. ”

"Three generations and two advisors all want peace talks, and it's better not to go to war, and some families mean the same thing.

You know, many of the little ninja clans almost perished in the third war. "Bo Feng Shui Doorway.

"That's just as well." Makoto Uchiha nodded in understanding. "It's just that I've seen the alliance treaty drawn up by the village. The conditions are already very favorable, and even so, Yun Yin still doesn't agree, which means that they definitely want to fight Konoha . ”

For the extended families, war is the best time for them to gain merit and prestige.

It is good to enjoy peace without going to war, and it is also good to gain military merit and prestige by going to war, and to improve your political status.

They are all acceptable.

But for small and medium-sized families, they may only have one or two upper ninjas in one family, or even one upper ninja.

And fighting against any village that is also one of the five great powers, an ordinary shinobi can't turn the tide of the war.

In a war, there is no guarantee that a shadow-level powerhouse will survive.

Dying a few forbearances will also hurt for the wealthy families.

But it won't hurt your muscles and bones, because the background is there.

And for a small family, if you die a ninja and a talented junior, you may lose the family after a few battles.

As a member of the village, they are naturally willing to fight for the village.

But wars that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.

One or two small families are nothing, but when dozens of small families are united, the weight is different.

Bo Feng Shuimen was able to ascend to the throne, in addition to his own strength, military exploits, and his identity as a disciple of Zilai, the support of the small family is also very important, and he can be described as a person who is expected by everyone.

And with the character of Bo Feng Shuimen, he naturally will not care about the life and death of the small ninja clan because he is now in power and has the support of the Uchiha clan, the first major clan.

If you really want to start a war with Yun Yin, Bo Feng Shuimen will definitely be willing to take the lead and be the first to go to the battlefield.

It's just that there are no immortals in war, as long as there is a war, the decline of many small families is inevitable.

You can only be as kind as you can to the living.

Therefore, although Bo Feng Shuimen did not find it useful to seek peace directly, he had always advocated seeking peace through war.

But after many considerations, he was still willing to give Yun Yin a chance.

As long as Yun Yin shows true sincerity, it is not impossible to return the two-tailed people's pillar power.

Bo Feng Shuimen asked himself, except for the nine tails, it was a little difficult to deal with.

If he really wants to fight, he relies on the Flying Thunder God and a sealing technique, and it is not worth beating any tailed beast.

"Let's wait for Yun Yin's response."

Bo Feng Shuimen sighed, even though he knew that Yun Yin was unlikely to change his mind.

Anyway, Konoha can't take the initiative to go to war now.

"Don't worry, Watergate seniors. As long as Yun Yin sees the huge strength gap between him and Konoha, I believe they won't be able to fight Konoha to the death! ”

Makoto Uchiha said that in his opinion, small-scale battles are inevitable, and he can only try to avoid the expansion of the battle.

Bo Feng Shuimen nodded, and he also understood what Makoto Uchiha meant, and he thought so too.

Bo Feng Shuimen suddenly changed his words and said:

"By the way, Makoto, let's go to the house for dinner in the evening.

Today is Naruto's birthday, and you are the great benefactor of our family.

You're going to have a few drinks with me tonight! ”

"Watergate senior, don't make fun of me! But I'll accompany you when you drink, and I'm not afraid of you in terms of drinking! ”

Makoto Uchiha smiled.

In order to prevent being drunk by his future father-in-law next time, he has been secretly tutoring recently.

......

The center of the first exercise ground.

An empty open-air base.

This is the actual test location of today's Shinobi exam.

At this time, the open space in the middle of the base was already full of people, all of whom were the elites of the middle ninja, as well as some of the special upper ninjas.

The assessment of the upper ninja is much stricter than the middle ninja exam.

However, in terms of survival rate, it is much higher than the middle ninja exam.

After all, there are ninja every year, and dozens of deaths will not hurt the muscles and bones.

And the middle ninja elite who participated in the upper ninja exam, if dozens of them died, the loss would be too great.

Compared with the assessment of the middle ninja exam, the first session of the upper ninja exam is a practical combat test.

For any ninja, combat ability is one of the important indicators to measure the strength of a ninja, especially the upper ninja.

Different from special forbearance, Shangninja requires a relatively comprehensive ability in all aspects, and does not require prominence, but there can be no shortcomings in each aspect.

And the special shinobi are ninjas who have unique talents and development in certain aspects.

Special Shinobi generally does not need to be assessed, and after confirming that the unique ability of a certain Shinobi is good enough, it can be directly promoted to Special Shinobi.

Of course, although strength is not an important measure for special shinobi, the strength of the vast majority of special shinobi is between the middle ninja and the upper ninja.

To become a shinobi is to enter the upper echelons of the village, and to be qualified to participate in high-level decision-making.

So whenever they have the chance, most of the shinobi will try to take the upper ninja exam.

And the actual combat test, as the first exam, can directly brush off most people.

However, there is one thing that is very similar to the middle ninja exam.,It's not that if you fail the first exam, you don't necessarily can't become a good ninja.。

After all, there will still be specials.

If Makoto Uchiha hadn't been in wartime and had accumulated a lot of military exploits, he would have to take the shinobi exam.

With his current strength, if he is still a middle forbearance or a special forbearance, then the opponent who loses in his hands, can it be said that the other party is too weak?

Just as the ninjas participating in the exam were whispering, a handsome young man wearing a white trench coat suddenly appeared in front of them.

"I'm sorry, I seem to be a little late."

Makoto Uchiha smiled.

"I'm the examiner of the actual combat test of the Shangnin exam this time, so I don't want to say much, let's start drawing lots and prepare for the exam."

According to the table, a total of 198 ninjas took the shinobi exam, but only about 12 shinobi were finally admitted, and at most 15 were admitted.

The vast majority of people can't successfully become a shinobi in one exam.

Most of the candidates are in their twenties, and a few are in their thirties.

Of course, there are many teenagers, and in addition to those who try to take the exam, they are some geniuses who are confident in their own strength.

There are exactly 100 people in the exam room here, and 98 people in the exam room next door.

Makoto Uchiha looked at the candidates in the field, most of them were fresh faces.

Still, he found a lot of 'familiar' faces in it.

Maitkai, Sarutobi Asma, Sunset Red, Shiranui Genma, Yamashiro Aoba, Namizu Similar, Dieivashi, Ebisu, Morino Ibiki, etc.

Of course, there is also Makoto Uchiha's old acquaintance Sakamoto Izawa, who doesn't seem to have passed the last shinobi exam.

Even the Uchiha clan came with three people, namely Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Ling, and Uchiha Kaede.

Makoto Uchiha's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, which was very interesting.

It was only after Maite Dai single-handedly overthrew the Ninja Seven that the village really began to pay attention to the development prospects of ninjas who specialized in physical arts.

Originally, it was difficult for Maitkai to become a mid-ninja, but now as long as the combat power of a physical-type ninja reaches the standard, he can also become a ninja.

After all, the power of the Eight Gate Dun Armor is too amazing.

As for the Uchiha Shisui, his position at this time is still a middle ninja.

The success rate and combat merits of high-level missions are also an important indicator of becoming a Shangnin.

Although he broke out in the fog to stop the water, the Uchiha clan generally did not establish much combat exploits on the fog hidden battlefield.

Although the name of the water stop is loud, there are not many enemies that are actually killed.

After all, it is an away battle, and the ninjas of the fog hold the initiative and can advance or retreat.

In addition, it is not wartime, but it did not let him be directly promoted to Shangnin.

Anyway, as long as the strength is enough, it's the same whether you participate in the Shangnin exam or not.

"Is this Makoto Uchiha? He looks so handsome! ”

"It's so handsome! Isn't the point about his strength? How many people are as strong as him at the same age?! ”

"I remember him, he was still my junior in the ninja school, but I didn't expect that now I am still a middle ninja, and he is already the chief examiner of the ninja exam."

"Sure enough, people can't be compared with each other, I can only be extremely envious all day long in the case of extreme envy, the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is so big!"

When Makoto Uchiha observed the ninja in front of him, they were also observing Makoto Uchiha.

When the draw was over, Bo Feng Shuimen came to the examination room, said some words of encouragement to the ninjas, and then left.

"Let's start the combat test!"

After Bo Feng Shuimen left, Makoto Uchiha immediately said.

"The first group, Dieivahi vs. Inuzuka Paw!"

100 people, two by two, 50 battles.

However, many of them are not strong, and in Makoto Uchiha's perception, the overall strength is uneven.

It is unlikely that there will be a protracted war.

Most battles should be resolved quickly, and 50 battles won't be long.

Among these people, the one who can really make Makoto Uchiha pay more attention is Maitkai, a friend who has a good relationship with him, and three people of the same clan.

After discussing with Uchiha Fugaku last time, they also found Shisui and reminded him a few words.

The reaction to stop water is also very cooperative.

Makoto Uchiha changed the Uchiha clan with practical actions, and Shisui was happy to see the current situation.

After all, the original book is a ninja who commits suicide for peace.

Of course, his approach is very naïve, and that is because his vision and insight are still not enough, and he cannot see through the complex human heart.

And what Makoto Uchiha has to do is to make the water stop agree with him.

Because of the change in the plot, Makoto Uchiha still doesn't know if the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye pupil technique of stopping water will still be the same as the original book.

But as long as you make him your own, many problems do not exist.

As for the two brothers Uchiha Kaede and Uchiha Ling, Makoto Uchiha is naturally because these two have old grudges with him, and they have been secretly making small moves.

This time, it's just a good time to see the strength of the two of them after opening the Three Hook Jade Writing Wheel Eye.

If it's really good, it's not impossible to plan ahead.

"Akai, you have a good relationship with Makoto Uchiha, is he really as powerful as rumored?"

Sarutobi Asma's attention was not on the ninja who was fighting, but on the examiner Makoto Uchiha.

The prestige of the wealthy Uchiha clan, the entire Konoha is naturally known to everyone, and no one knows it.

It's just that in the eyes of Sarutobi Asma, his father, the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi, is the strongest in Konoha.

He has always been striving for his father.

And the first step is to surpass your peers first.

Kakashi's appearance allowed him to find an opponent, but then Makoto Uchiha's sudden rise left him a little confused.

His father always talked about Makoto Uchiha, and he couldn't help but pay attention.

Makoto Uchiha was only one year older than him, but many in the village compared him to when he was younger.

"I used to practice with Makoto a lot, but I didn't feel that he was very strong.

However, in recent years, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has grown too fast!

I'm no longer qualified to be his opponent.

However, the meaning of youth is the never-ending struggle, and my blood will not be hit by this!

When I surpass Kakashi, the next one is to catch up with Makoto! ”

Maitkai looked at Makoto Uchiha in the field, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"And how does he compare to Kakashi!" Ape Fei Asma asked with some concern.

Maitkai shook his head and said, "There is no comparison! ”

"No comparison?" Ape Fei Asma was stunned for a moment, "Is the gap so big?" ”

"Yes!" Maitkai nodded, "Kakashi himself said it.

He said that when he faced Makoto, he felt the same way as facing four generations of adults.

If he was serious, he wouldn't be able to hold out for even a minute.

When he usually practiced, Makoto fought against the four generations of adults.

But it is precisely because of this that Makoto can be the goal that I will pursue for the rest of my life! ”

"It's the same feeling as facing four generations of adults?"

Asma looked devastated.

Although he has never seen Bo Feng Shuimen make a move, who in the ninja world does not know the name of the golden flash?

He looked at the senior in the field who was only one year older than him in a daze.

Kakashi, whom he regarded as his biggest rival, actually gave such an evaluation, and Asma Sarutobi felt a little unreal.

But he knew that Kakashi had never been a man to exaggerate the facts.

In that case, Kakashi, whom he considers his biggest rival, is nothing compared to Makoto Uchiha.

The dream of surpassing his peers and surpassing his father may be difficult to achieve.

The huge psychological gap made his spirit a little trance.

"Stop! This is the end of the battle! ”

"Victor Inuzuka Paw!"

"In the next group, Sakamoto Izawa vs. Sunset Red!"

......

"In the next group, Uchiha Shisui vs. Uchiha Kaede."

Makoto Uchiha finished reading the names of the two of them, and finally raised a little interest.

Although there is no meaning to look down on, the battle of the upper ninja exam is indeed a bit boring.

Of course, during the invigilation process, he still meticulously fulfilled the responsibilities of the examiner.

With Makoto Uchiha's strength and combat experience, he can stop the battle at any time.

Thirty-three sets of duels have been played.

In order to let the candidates fight with all their strength without interference, Makoto Uchiha did not feel that the opponent was about to lose and immediately intervened to stop it.

Rather, it is considered according to the will of the other party, as well as the actual damage that may be suffered.

Despite this, only six people have suffered minor injuries so far, and none have been seriously injured.

Makoto Uchiha looked at the two people who came to stand in the center of the venue with interest.

"Kaede senior, please advise." Zhishui smiled politely and bowed slightly.

"Humph! Go ahead! ”

Uchiha Kaede snorted coldly, Shisui was very close to the 'compromiser', and he naturally didn't have any good feelings.

Zhishui's face continued to smile, but he instantly opened the three-hook jade writing wheel eye.

Uchiha Kaede's heart sank.

Although I have heard of the name of 'instant water stopping', there are many ninjas who are not worthy of the name, and I don't know until I am strong or not.

Especially after opening the three-hook jade writing wheel, his strength during this period has increased by leaps and bounds, and even his self-confidence has swelled rapidly.

It's just that it's the same Sangoyu, and although Uchiha Kaede is confident in his own strength, he doesn't dare to be careless.

Brush!

I saw that Uchiha's hands quickly sealed, and seven identical water-stopping hands instantly surrounded Uchiha Kaede in the middle.

"Huh?"

Makoto Uchiha, who was fighting on the sidelines, showed an interested look.

Through perception, the doppelganger he discovered looked like a physical clone, but it was not a shadow clone and other physical clones.

And if you look closely, it doesn't look like a physical clone, but it's different from the general virtual body clone technique.

Thinking of this, Makoto Uchiha opened the three-hook jade writing wheel eye and carefully observed the doppelganger of the water stopper.

"I see, interesting!" Makoto Uchiha's eyes lit up.

Uchiha Kaede, who was surrounded by the water, looked at the clone surrounding him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said coldly:

"In front of the writing wheel, in addition to the usefulness of physical clones such as shadow clones, the general doppelganger technique is simply a joke."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kaede found the location of the water stop through the writing wheel eye.

Uchiha Kaede's figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of the water-stopping body on his right hand, and slammed his fist towards his chest.

And Shisui didn't seem to have time to dodge, so he froze in place and was hit by a punch from Uchiha Kaede.

However, in the next second, Uchiha Kaede's face changed drastically.

"Not an entity?! How can it be?! ”

I saw Uchiha Kaede penetrate directly through the body in front of him.

At the moment when he passed through the body of the water.

The suzu who was pierced by him suddenly turned around and struck Uchiha Kaede in the back with a whip leg.

Uchiha Kaede's body slammed forward, but after all, his strength was not weak, and he propped his hands on the ground, his body was in the air for a week, and then landed steadily.

At this time, Uchiha Kaede looked at Shisui who had surrounded him again in disbelief.

"Senpai, are you alright?" The water-stopping body that attacked Uchiha Kaede just now asked with a smile.

"Don't be complacent! I was careless just now! ”

Shisui's smile greeting, in the eyes of Uchiha Kaede, was mocking him.

Although angry, Uchiha Kaede was not impulsive this time.

He used the three-hook jade writing wheel eye to the extreme, but no matter how you look at the water stop in front of him, it is the ontology.

But the attack just now hit the air.

"'Instantaneous' water stopping, it really lives up to its name!" Makoto Uchiha sighed in his heart and closed his three-hooked jade writing wheel eye.

Through the momentary observation just now, Makoto Uchiha saw everything clearly.

The water stop can move between clones instantaneously, constantly changing the body.

Uchiha Kaede is indeed attacking the main body of the water stop.

It's just that when the attack is about to hit the water stop, the water stop body moves to another clone.

Then at the moment when Uchiha Kaede penetrated the clone, he returned to the attacked clone.

So it looks like Uchiha Kaede was attacked by the clone immediately after passing through the clone.

To be honest, as long as this instantaneous body technique has a writing wheel eye, it is easy to see through.

But it's not easy to cope.

But it's not impossible, as long as the speed is faster than the water stop.

If it is said that it was Bo Feng Shuimen who attacked the water stop just now, then at the moment when the wave Feng Shui Gate passed through the water stop body, if the water stop body returned to the clone and then attacked the wave Feng Shui Gate, then he would be killed by the wave Feng Shui Gate.

Of course, it can be done to this extent, and that is because it is a wave of wind and water.

Not everyone can have the perverted reaction nerves of Bo Feng Shuimen, and they can also fly the time and space ninjutsu of the Thunder God.

Of course, Makoto Uchiha is also easy if he wants to deal with it.

If you want to defend, you can use the Wind Wall, or just use Susanoh, and any bells and whistles are useless.

In addition, with Makoto Uchiha's current reaction, he also has the spatial skill of [Flash], so it is easy to pretend to be hit and then counterattack.

Or attack all clones at once, but this method is easy to counter.

At this time, the Uchiha Seika in the field did just that.

He directly used the Combined Fire Escape Impatiens Flower Claw Red Technique.

Uchiha Kaede threw a shuriken at the surrounding bodies of Shisui.

Although Uchiha Kaede's ninja throwing level is not as terrifying as Uchiha Makoto, every Uchiha member who opens the writing wheel eye will increase the level of ninja throwing.

After all, the Uchiha clan has a special ninja throwing technique that is specially used with the Sharingan.

After throwing the shuriken, Uchiha Kaede immediately used the Fire Escape Impatiens Fire Technique.

The small fireball released by the Phoenix's Fire Technique immediately attached the flames to the flying shuriken, and the attack covered all the clones of Zhishui.

This move not only has the high heat and lethality of Fire Escape, but also has the cutting ability and speed of a shuriken, which has a pretty good effect as a feint.

And so it seems.

In the face of Uchiha Kaede's attack, the seven doppelgangers of Shisui suddenly became one.

He pulled out the shinobi sword behind his back to block the flying shuriken, and kept moving closer to Kaede Uchiha.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kaede thought that he had found a way to deal with the water stop, and his heart was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to fight back, Zhishui suddenly flashed again, splitting into seven clones.

The sudden acceleration of the water stop made the Uchiha Kaede unable to react.

Seven clones slashed towards the Uchiha Kaede at the same time.

Uchiha Kaede was about to seal it, but he was only halfway through the movement of his hand when he was kicked in the wrist by Zhishui.

After stopping the water to break Uchiha Kaede's seal, he immediately shifted to his back and slashed at Uchiha Kaede's neck.

Brush!

Makoto Uchiha appeared between the two of them in a [flash] and grabbed Shisui's wrist.

The knife stopped five centimeters from Kaede's neck.

was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, and the light expression on Zhishui's face suddenly disappeared, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.

He also noticed that Makoto Uchiha was still holding a battle watch and pen on his left hand.

"That's the end of the fight!"

Makoto Uchiha said lightly.

He glanced at the Shinobi knife in front of him, and it turned out that Shizui turned the blade around at the last moment, facing the back of the knife at Uchiha Kaede.

Uchiha Kaede turned around with an ugly face, he had lost to the juniors of the clan so easily.

Makoto Uchiha let go of his hand and nodded:

"The winner has been decided, and the winner is Uchiha Stops!"

Makoto Uchiha smiled slightly and glanced at Kaede Uchiha on the side.

For some reason, Uchiha Kaede looked at Makoto Uchiha's eyes and felt a chill.

......

After the exam, Makoto Uchiha turned around and left directly, ready to hand over the battle form to Nara Shikaku.

"Makoto Senpai."

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard someone calling him.

Makoto Uchiha turned to look.

Uchiha Shisui came to him, "Makoto-senpai, can I talk to you?" ”
