Zhizhen didn't expect that the Zhongnin exam would undergo such a change and reach such a scale.

The reason for this, Zhizhen can already be sure that it is because of his existence.

This is the same as the time when the country of waves, and it didn't kill again, which attracted Xiao.

Participate in a middle ninja exam, which attracts other shadows.

The time of the development of the plot has not changed, but the content is very different, and it is developing in a direction that Shijin cannot grasp.

If that's the case, the rookies from the other big villages are here, and Naruto will be able to pass the shinobi exam successfully?

Zhizhen has reservations about this.

Looking at Kakashi again, Konoha with a relaxed face, Shijin couldn't help but ask, "Kakashi-senpai, are you okay then?" ”

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.

"Iwakuin and Mist." Zhizhen hinted vaguely: "After all, you have participated in wars that are better than theirs." ”

"Ahh Kakashi understood, and said indifferently, "Well, I really don't have a good impression of these two villages, and I even have a grudge." But times have changed, Hokage-sama has his considerations, for the sake of Konoha and for the future, I can't always hold hatred. ”

After a pause, Kakashi looked into the distance, "And the person who should be killed, I have already killed it." ”

Zhizhen sighed softly when he heard this, admiring Kakashi's mind a little.

Of his two best friends, one died at the hands of Iwayin, and the other was killed by the Fog Hidden Pit.

If it were him, he would like to raze the rock and the fog to the ground.

And Kakashi, it is estimated that the mentality has exploded, and now it is indeed time to let go.

"Looks like we're going to get back to Konoha soon." Zhizhendao.

Kakashi nodded and said, "At least five days in advance, before the first of July." ”

"Hmm. When Yakumo signed the psychic beast and I completed the most basic cultivation, we rushed back to Konoha. "Zhizhen said.

When Yakumo heard this, his heart was sweet, and he said, "Zhizhenjun, thank you for thinking about me." But I don't have to worry about it, you don't have to delay the big things for me. ”

"Well, although the matter is big. But just to help you find a psychic beast, it won't delay anything. And the Hokage-sama is in Konoha, and Sha Yin shouldn't have arrived in Konoha yet. Don't be in a hurry. Zhizhen said with a smile.

Kakashi nodded when he heard this, he thought so too, so he was still slowly accompanying Shijin now.

Hearing Shizhen talk about cultivation, Kakashi asked, "Well, although things are important, one's own strength is even more important. Since Hokage-sama allowed you to come out, he wanted you to gain something. So there's no need to rush back to Konoha too much. ”

"Hmm." Zhizhen nodded.

"But then again, what kind of practice are you doing now?" Kakashi asked.

Hearing this, Zhizhen didn't hide it, and smiled excitedly: "Immortal mode!" ”

"Immortal Mode?!" Unexpectedly, Kakashi naturally understood what the Immortal Mode was, and showed a look of surprise: "I didn't expect you to start cultivating the Immortal Mode, it's really amazing." ”

Originally, Kakashi just asked casually, thinking that he could give Shijin some guidance.

But as soon as he heard about the immortal mode, Kakashi gave up, which was not in his ability or anything like that.

"It's just luck." Zhizhen was not proud, and said with a smile: "In the Giant Leaf Valley, there are also other races that can cultivate the immortal mode, Kakashi-senpai, I will also help you find one." ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes finished with a crescent moon.

Although he knew that Zhizhen regarded him as a friend, he didn't expect to be so generous that he didn't even hide his selfishness in the immortal mode.

A nice guy indeed.

But Kakashi refused, shaking his head and saying, "Thanks, but forget it." The Immortal Mode is not so easy to practice, and not everyone can practice the Immortal Mode. You came here in reverse psychic to prove that you are related to this place, and that the immortal mode is what you deserve. ”

Ichitosai and Kojiro haven't spoken, after all, they can't interject in the topic of human beings, and secondly, they don't have much interest.

However, hearing Shijin's words, Ichitosai and Kojiro raised their spirits, and if Shizane asked Kakashi to sign a contract with the Mantis Clan, they didn't know if they would agree or not.

But hearing Kakashi's refusal, the two guys gave Kakashi a look.

I didn't expect that there were people in this world who could face the immortal mode and be unmoved.

Sure enough, Zhizhen's partner is not a wrong guy.

"Then you don't have a relationship with this place." Zhizhen smiled: "You came here because of me, isn't this fate?" ”

Kakashi spread his hands and said, "Well, let it be." Of course, if I can sign a suitable psychic beast, I will not refuse, but if not, I will not force it. Originally, I was now concentrating on the power of writing chakras, and then distracted from practicing the immortal mode, I'm afraid it would be a little difficult. ”

Also, in Kakashi's case, it takes a lot of effort to master Kamui.

"I didn't tell you to start practicing right now." Zhizhen smiled.

When Kakashi heard this, he smiled, "Anyway, you just take care of your own affairs, and I, as a senior, can't hold you back." However, if you learn the Immortal Mode, maybe I'll really have to rely on you as a junior. ”

"Kakashi-senpai, what are you talking about?" Zhizhen said with a smile.

Just as Kakashi admired Shijin more and more, Shijin also admired Kakashi even more.

After the death of Konoha White Fang, Kakashi was able to get to where he is today step by step on his own, although it is inseparable from the careful cultivation of the third and fourth generations.

But it's more about Kakashi himself, a man who is very good both on the outside and on the inside.

Hearing this, Kakashi smiled slightly, and didn't say much.

After a conversation, Shijin and Kakashi's friendship deepened by three points.

From the beginning, the partners who intersected in life and death have gradually become friends who can make friends.

"What is Immortal Mode?" Yakumo interjected.

Kakashi explained, "That state that uses natural energy. ”

"Natural energy?" Yakumo was a little curious.

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but to put it simply, there are other powers in this world besides chakra......" Zhizhen briefly explained the principle of the immortal mode.

Hearing Yakumo's exclamation, she was also sincerely happy that Zhizhen had become stronger, she said: "I didn't expect that there is such a power in the world, if Zhizhen-kun succeeds in mastering it, it should become very strong, right?" ”

"Pretty much." Before Shijin could speak, Kakashi answered, "At least surpass me." ”

Hearing this, Yakumo couldn't help but clap his little hands, Kakashi is famous in Konoha not to mention, it is a great thing to be able to surpass him.

Looking at Yakumo's reaction, Zhizhen was keenly aware that Yakumo was a little bit of him, what to say? Enthusiastic?

Delusion, right? Zhizhen didn't think much about it, he hadn't met Yakumo a few times, so he shouldn't be so enthusiastic.

He said: "Then, let's speed up a bit, the Giant Leaf Valley is still far away, so let's talk all the way, I don't know when we will be able to arrive." ”

"Hmm." The two nodded, indicating that they had no opinion.

With that, the three of them began to hurry, followed by Ichitosai and Kojiro.

This time, Shijin didn't let them carry it, after all, to them, Kakashi and Yakumo were "outsiders".

Zhizhen also has to take into account their feelings, they are not mounts to Zhizhen, and from the fact that they did not take the initiative, it can be seen that not everyone can be on their backs.

But in this way, the speed is a lot slower.

Shijin and they went out of the valley at noon and spent more than four hours finding Kakashi and them.

Now that they are running back on their own, it will definitely take more time.

Sure enough, by the time they returned to the Giant Leaf Valley, it was already completely dark.

However, this did not prevent Kakashi and Yakumo from enjoying the view of the Giant Leaf Valley, which was still beautiful at night.
