He swept everyone's faces with a fierce look of warning,

"This is Hokage-sama's order. Hear me clearly? ”

No one answered, and only the sound of heavy, muffled breathing remained in the air.

........

The middle ninja exam, which attracted the attention of everyone in the ninja continent, ended with an unusual gesture.

On the day of the end of the exam, the high-level officials of the four ninja villages who had previously sworn to wipe out the Konoha ninjas left the country of rain one by one.

The strange thing is that the Konoha side, which has achieved overwhelming results, also left the Land of Rain for the first time, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

Neither the victorious nor the defeated side left a single word.

No one knows what's going on in the depths of that uninhabited rainforest.

In a chaotic confusion of suspicion and incomprehension, the ninjas of the major ninja villages left the rain country one after another, while dozens of geniuses from each ninja village stayed in the dense forest forever.

。。。。。。。。

The gaze of the dried persimmon ghost shark followed the back of Orochimaru until he completely disappeared from sight.

It was only at this moment that his tense body completely relaxed. He let out a long exhale, his head dizzy.

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the woods, and the Uchiha Itachi, who had been standing in the woods a second ago, had disappeared.

"Oni shark."

Uchiha Itachi appeared behind him, a faint smile on his lips.

"If there is such a friend, it may be more fun to live than to die...

The dried persimmon ghost shark thought wildly, and without hesitation, he grabbed the right hand that Uchiha Itachi stretched out.

。。。。。。。。

The third day after the end of the Shinobi exam.

The temporary station at the exit has been emptied, leaving only the broken walls left by the Earth Escape Ninjutsu and the land trampled by humans.

"It looks like I'll have to wait another year to become a middle ninja...

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the messy scene in front of him.

"By the way, how are your injuries?"

He looked at the dried persimmon ghost shark that had walked without hindrance, and hesitated a little.

"When it comes to recovery, I'm afraid even you can't compare to me."

The dried persimmon ghost shark grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs. On his naked upper body, a scar more than half a meter long is particularly eye-catching.

The black-red scar had scabbed over and didn't look like a new injury it had received a few days ago. It's just that the face is still pale, and it looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness.

"That's good."

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

He knows best the recovery ability of dried persimmon ghost sharks. Known as a humanoid tailed beast, he is far beyond ordinary people in terms of chakra and self-healing ability. As long as there are a few more days, the dried persimmon ghost shark can regain its peak combat power.

"I'm ready to leave for Konoha, what are your plans?"

Thinking that he had just reunited with the dried persimmon ghost shark, and it had only been a few days since he had to be separated, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"The high-level of Wuyin Village wants to take the opportunity of this Zhongnin exam to get rid of me. One can gag me, and the other can push all the dirty things they have done on my head. After all, the dead cannot justify themselves ... ”

The smile on the face of the dried persimmon ghost shark was a little sad,

"At the end of the day, it's the same in every village. Ninjas like us are just high-level killing tools, and even if they die, they have to squeeze out the last bit of value. There is only one way out of this life ... ”

"You mean you want to leave the Fog Hidden Village?"

Uchiha Itachi was not surprised at all, after all, when he met the dried persimmon oni shark in his previous life, he was already a traitor. It's just that this time, because of his own relationship, the rebellious career of the dry persimmon ghost shark seems to have started earlier.

"Actually, I've had enough of this life for a long time. Living under the vigilance, hatred, and disgust of others every day despite the crime of killing my comrades, even a cold-blooded person like me is a heavy burden. Rather than continue to live like this, day and night, and in pain, it is better to become a traitor. ”

He lifted himself up and looked with envy at a flock of birds flying overhead.

The black flock swirled rapidly in his eyes, and continued to walk south.

"Even if it's just a few months, or even just a few days."

The dried persimmon ghost shark retracted his gaze and laughed again,

"Maybe after a while, I'll sneak to Konoha to find you. After all, so far, you are the only one who can be counted as a friend. ”

Itachi Uchiha looked at him with a sincere smile, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Whose hand is that knife, the big knife "shark muscle", now? ”

"Watermelon Mountain Puffer Fish."

The dried persimmon ghost shark said a name without thinking.

"What do you mean?"

He was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood what Uchiha Itachi meant,

"No, the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost rarely leaves Wuyin Village. And he has that knife in his hand, and I'm no match for him. ”

"Don't worry, the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost will be handed over to me. You don't have to rush back to Fog Hidden Village, I'll go back to Konoha first, and then come to the Land of Rain to meet you. ”

The Uchiha Itachi smiled mysteriously, looking confident.

"It's too dangerous, even though that knife is important to me. I can't let you go with me to death because of a knife... ”

The dried persimmon ghost shark shook his head.

"Find a safe place to recuperate, half a month soon, a month slowly, and I'll come back to you."

Uchiha Itachi gently waved his hand at the dried persimmon and turned to leave.

He smiled and walked forward, no longer feeling lonely and hesitant for the first time since he was reborn.

Although the number of Uchiha clansmen is not small, and most of them are usable combat power.

But apart from the Uchiha Shisui, he doesn't have a real helper he can trust.

Even his own father, Uchiha Fugaku, he can't be fully trusted.

On the surface, the Uchiha clan is very powerful, but in fact it is a scattered mess, and it is not easy to unite these people together.

But now the situation is different, there is a dried persimmon ghost shark, and then getting the big knife "shark muscle", which is equivalent to an extra shadow-level helper out of thin air.

A wave of confidence welled up from the depths of his heart, blooming above his handsome face.

Danzo, Sarutobi Sunslash, Grimaces, and those who have bad intentions towards the Uchiha clan, wait and see.

Who killed the deer this time, it is not yet known...

His feet slammed on the ground, and his body soared into the sky like a bird.

Below him, the body of the dried persimmon ghost shark grew farther and smaller, and finally turned into a small black dot.

But he could still clearly feel the existence of the dried persimmon ghost shark.

This is the true friend, although the distance is getting farther and farther away, the heart is always tightly connected and will never be separated.

He threw his head back and let out a long howl.

This is a farewell to the dried persimmon ghost shark, and it is also a declaration of battle to all enemies.
