At night, in the middle of the forest.

"It should be almost!"

Looking at the wild boar that was almost dying in front of him, Katsura didn't make any more ruthless moves, and left directly, came to a big tree, carefully observed the surroundings, and immersed himself in the courtyard.

“OK！ 20,000 gold coins! ”

Due to the lack of a bounty seal, Katsuragi's gold coins could only be dropped by defeating the beast, but due to his daily school and prevention from being discovered, he didn't have much time to farm for gold coins, so it took a long time to scrape together 20,000 gold coins.

Opening the Shenlu, Guimu raised the smoke to three stars, and in order to prevent any danger outside, he didn't greet the women, and left the courtyard directly.

"Smoke Imp!?"

Feeling the skills brought by the three-star smoke Luo, Katsura Mu was a little curious, his hand was full of smoke, and a small white thing with a mouth like a rice ball appeared in his hand, and it looked quite cute.

Because there were no beasts, it was not easy for Katsura to test the power of this smoke imp, so he dispersed the smoke in his hand, planning to find a chance to test it next time.

Katsuragi, who had fulfilled his purpose, did not stay in the forest any longer, and after returning home to wash up, he lay down on the bed and came to the courtyard again.

Since summoning the smoke and smoke, the courtyard has been much more lively, or finally someone can accompany the three-tailed fox to mess around, before because of the cold character of the snow girl, the three-tailed fox wants to play cards to find the nine-tails to make up the number.

But since Yanyanluo came, the three-tailed fox rarely made a noise to find the nine-tails anymore, of course, there seems to be a reason why the nine-tails played cards randomly.

"Xiaomu, it's so late, why don't you go to rest?"

Seeing Katsuragi reappear in the courtyard, the three-tailed fox asked.

"Right away!"

Katsuragi smiled, then came to Yanyanluo, who was sitting under the cherry blossom tree and smoked, and asked her, "Sister Yan, I have promoted you to three stars, can you feel the change?" ”

"Of course!"

Yanyan Luo spat out a puff of smoke, and then his figure dispersed, turning into a wisp of smoke, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived beside Guimu, gently rubbed Guimu's head and said: "Before, I couldn't even turn into smoke, but now my strength has recovered a lot!" ”

"Sister Yan, how can you turn smoke so fast like you!"

Looking at the way Yanyan Luo appeared, Katsura Mu was envious, although he was already able to turn his body into smoke, but at that slow speed, if it was really time to fight, I was afraid that he would die several times.

"Well! Just take your time! ”

Yanyan Luo smiled and said comfortingly: "Didn't you say that you couldn't even smoke your whole body before, but now it's very good!" Come on! ”

"Okay!"

Katsuragi sighed, in fact, he also understood that it would definitely be good to practice slowly or continue to ascend to the star, just like when he summoned the Snow Maiden at the beginning, the speed of the snowball condensation was also very slow, and now he has reached the point of instantaneousness.

After that, Guimu let Yan Yanluo guide him in the courtyard, practiced for a while, and then left the courtyard to rest.

……

As the days passed, Katsuragi's daily life was very ordinary, basically going to school during the day, going to the forest at night, and going to Hinata's house to accompany Ningji and Hinata to practice on the weekend.

Because I vaguely remember that the scene of the Uchiha extermination in the original anime seems to be in the summer, so in April, Katsuragi began to be cautious, and the number of times he went to the forest at night was greatly reduced.

Although he is not from the Uchiha clan, as the first brother of the Hokage, Itachi, it will not be easy to do if he suddenly can't think about it and wants to sentence Muramae to teach him a lesson who has been "oppressing" his younger brother in school.

What's more, in this battle of extermination, Obito seems to have also participated, and he is usually surrounded by absolutes, if this guy finds something abnormal, it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time.

Therefore, during this time, when Katsuragi fought, he would rather be troublesome than expose his strength too much.

At dusk, the crimson glow sprinkled all over the land, and from time to time there were black crows flying in the sky, and their hoarse and ugly cries made people a little upset.

After Katsuragi sent Hinata home, he walked back quietly, thinking about whether to go to the forest tonight, and the final exam was getting closer and closer, but there was no movement in the village, which made him wonder if there would be a genocide next year.

"Katsuragi?"

At this time, Katsuragi suddenly heard someone calling him in front of him, looked up, and was surprised to find that it was Sasuke.

Katsuragi suddenly felt something, and asked, "Sasuke, it's so late, why haven't you come home yet?" ”

"A teacher suddenly asked me to help, so I delayed it!"

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Katsuragi unconsciously looked at the location of the Uchiha clan, the remnant sun was like blood, and a heavy atmosphere was condensed in the air, making Katsuragi inexplicably feel that that thing had happened.

"Sasuke ......"

Katsuragi opened his mouth and looked at Sasuke who looked puzzled in front of him, but in the end he didn't say anything, after today, Sasuke may no longer be the Sasuke he knew before.

"What's wrong?"

Sasuke, who had always been a careful observer, asked strangely when he saw Katsuragi's expression.

"Nothing!" Katsuragi patted Sasuke on the shoulder, forced a smile, and said, "It's not early, go back early, I'll go first!" ”

"Hmmm! See you soon! ”

Sasuke didn't care, and after saying hello with a smile, he trotted and continued to rush home, not knowing that his brother, who had promised to accompany him in his cultivation, was welcoming his return in a way he could never have imagined.

Staring at the back of Sasuke leaving, Katsuragi was not in a hurry to go home, and after thinking for a while, he finally walked towards the Uchiha's station.

Sure enough, when Katsuragi was not too far from Uchiha's territory, he smelled a smell of blood, and judging from the sense of surveillance around him, there were definitely not a few ninjas around him at this time.

"It should be the root man!"

Katsuragi didn't rush forward any longer, and found a place to observe, and he felt that judging from the situation of Tuanzang's future arm, most of the people who were ambushed around at this time were people from Tuanzang's subordinates.

"Alas!"

Katsuragi sighed, the sun had completely set before he knew it, and when night fell, the bright full moon in the sky seemed to be covered with a trace of blood, and it looked a little gloomy.

"Let's hope Sasuke can resist it!"

After Katsuragi glanced at the Uchiha station again, he chose to leave, in fact, before he came, he also considered whether there was a chance to use Yanyanluo's ability to secretly obtain a pair of writing wheel eyes or something.

But after feeling the existence of the root, he finally decided not to take risks, anyway, as long as he continues to grow step by step, his future will definitely not be bad.

But what Katsuragi didn't know was that immediately after he left, a whirlpool appeared where he was staying, and then a masked figure suddenly appeared, looked in the direction he left, and muttered to himself:

"Interesting, did you find something?"
