The beautiful bubble bursts the second of his father's death, revealing the ugly true face of Konoha beneath his shiny exterior.

He finally understood a sad truth.

He loved the village, but the village didn't love him.

Not only that, as a member of the Uchiha clan, no matter where he walked in Konoha, he could feel the piercing indifference in the other party's gaze.

Before that, he would have laughed it off.

But at this time, he really understood the hostility in his eyes.

He suddenly felt that the truth of his father's death was not so important, but how he should face the village.

Uchiha Shisui stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes heavily, as if to erase the weakness in his bones and his love for Konoha together.

Love is gone, and all that remains is hate.

From this moment on, he was no longer the ninja of Konoha with the name of "Instant Water Stop", but only the Water Stop of the Uchiha clan.

"Stop the water."

Itachi Uchiha finally spoke.

"How long have you been here?"

The Uchiha turned his head and squeezed an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Shortly after arriving."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for half a second and continued:

"I thought about my uncle carefully, and it wasn't necessarily what the three generations of Hokage meant. So... ”

"Don't worry. I'm not going to be stupid enough to question the three generations of Hokage. It wasn't necessarily his order, but it was certain that my father's death had something to do with him. That's enough. ”

The Uchiha turned his head to prevent his friend from seeing the hatred in his eyes.

The Uchiha Itachi tried to comfort him, but in the end he didn't speak.

He knew better than anyone what kind of brave and determined heart Uchiha Shisui had under his seemingly innocent face.

At this time, all comfort is superfluous.

"I'm leaving Konoha tomorrow to take the middle ninja exam, and I won't be able to return to the village anytime soon. So there's one thing I want to ask you for. ”

Itachi Uchiha's face was a little solemn.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Itachi cautiously looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he leaned into Uchiha's ear and whispered.

"Are you sure you want to?"

The Uchiha looked at Itachi in surprise.

"I'm sorry. I can't trust anyone but you. ”

"I see."

The Uchiha nodded heavily.

。。。。。。。。

Because of the addition of several secret families, the discussion about the middle ninja exam became more and more hot, and it became the only topic of Konoha during this time.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and pride, as if it was not the ten shinobi who represented Konoha in the middle ninja exam, but himself.

The words "the strongest ninja village" have become words that can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.

In private, many people have already ranked the ninja villages that participated in the middle ninja exam this time.

Konoha is undoubtedly the one who will always be on top.

Compared with the self-confidence of the people of Konoha for no reason, the upper echelons of Konoha are generally in an anxious mood.

And the several major families who had worked hard not long ago to obtain the place in the middle ninja exam from the hands of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash were mostly in a state of unease.

Hokage's office.

Ape Fei Ri's gaze swept coldly over the other three elders.

"Can anyone tell me what the rules of the Zhongnin exam are for this time?"

There was a strong resentment in his voice, a sign that anger was already about to explode.

Tuan Zang didn't even look at him, and he was still the same cold appearance that had not changed for a hundred years.

Mitomon Yan looked at Tuan Zang with a wry smile and said cautiously:

"It's the message I just received. No one had informed Konoha that the rules would be changed for this time in the Shinobi exam. ”

"Bang."

Sawdust splattered on the square conference table, and a corner of the table "snapped" and fell to the ground.

"Isn't it customary to change the rules of the exam that should be decided by the five ninja villages? I don't know why the rules of the Zhongnin exam have been changed... ”

The palm of the ape slash trembled slightly, as if it might fall again at any moment.

"The convention is this. However, according to the regulations of the middle ninja examination, only more than half of the ninja village needs to agree, and the old rules can be replaced with new rules. According to the news of the dark department, this time the rules have the support of more than seventy percent of the ninja villages, including the other four major ninja villages. ”

"In other words, they are determined to embarrass Konoha in this time in the middle ninja exam this time. Hum! ”

Ape Fei Sun snorted heavily, and the palm hanging in the air could only be gently lowered.

According to the convention, the Chunin exam is generally divided into three rounds.

The first round is a written test, and the second round is a reel competition.

If you successfully pass the first two rounds of lower ninja, you can become a middle ninja.

And the one-on-one battle between the last shinobi is more like a battle between ninjas.

The three rounds of exams test the comprehensive strength of the ninja, not just the combat ability.

Although there were occasional casualties, the number was extremely low.

There have even been extreme cases where not a single ninja has died.

And this time, the rules of the Zhongnin exam completely turned the examination room of the Zhongnin exam into a gladiatorial arena.

These shinobi are beasts fighting for survival in the gladiatorial arena.

In the primeval forest within a radius of hundreds of miles, as many as 100 people have been ninja, killing without restrictions and rules.

Ten days later, Shinobi, who finally walked out of the examination room alive, was able to pass the exam.

On paper, the rules are fair for every ninja village.

However, looking at the fine print, each one seems to be designed for Konoha.

The first is the location of the Nainin exam.

This time, the location of the Shinobi exam was chosen in the primeval forest of the rainy country where it rained all day long.

As we all know, Konoha ninjas are famous for fire escape, especially the Uchiha clan, and the ninjutsu they are best at is basically all fire escape.

This is tantamount to reducing the strength of the Fire Escape Ninja by more than 20% for no reason.

On the contrary, it is an obvious advantage for ninjas who are good at water escape.

In addition, in the primeval forest, there are towering trees and dense shrubs that can only be embraced by a few people, and the space for battle is invisibly compressed into a very small area.

There are not many ninjas in Konoha who are good at physical arts, and compared to Yun Ninja, who are good at thunder escape and physical skills, they are at a disadvantage in fighting in such a small area.

It's like putting heavy shackles on the body of a Konoha ninja and then fighting to the death with your opponent.

Not only that, but the second detailed rule is simply tailored to the list of Konoha who will participate in the middle ninja exam this time.

"Each ninja who takes the middle ninja exam must enter the exam location from a different location in the order of drawing lots."

This one hit Konoha hard in the underbelly.

In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the number of people who participated in the middle ninja exam this time was only ten people, and the number of people was at a disadvantage compared to the other major ninja villages.
