"Okay, that's all for today, please pay attention to safety after school and go home early. Well, that's it. ”

Iruka instructed the students in the class and walked out of the classroom with the textbook she had picked up from the lectern.

The moment Iruka walked out of the classroom, the class immediately erupted in deafening cheers, as if they had been relieved from prison, and everyone's faces showed an extremely relaxed color.

Even Sasuke Uchiha, who is a top student, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike the rest of the people who breathed a sigh of relief, Sasuke thought that he could finally end this boring course, and the next step was his extremely important personal cultivation time.

It's not that he looks down on Iruka, but in a place like a ninja school, he really can't learn anything useful.

He has already mastered the three-body techniques involved in the graduation exam, and no one can match it among his peers.

And the physical fitness test is also one of the best, except for a certain overly energetic yellow-haired crane tail.

The practical application of physical surgery is also the first in the grade.

Continuing to study at the ninja school, for him, it was no longer necessary.

It's a pity that the current Konoha is different from the wartime in previous years, and the students of the ninja school are strictly required to complete the six-year course before they can graduate from the ninja school.

This is also the reason why Sasuke still needs to study in the ninja school, although the knowledge in the ninja school is no longer useful to Sasuke.

Looking at the classmates who walked out of the classroom side by side, Sasuke's indifferent hands were in his trouser pockets, which unexpectedly attracted the attention and shouts of the girls, and he also left the classroom with a calm face in the sight of some boys.

Hmph, a bunch of big idiots. Sasuke secretly gave such a definition to the classmates in the class, expressing disdain.

He left the school and walked towards the woods not far from his residence, where he used to practice and as part of the Uchiha clan's legacy, which now belonged to his private domain, and the village had no power to take it back.

In this way, cultivating here will avoid the disturbance of idle people waiting to come and disturb.

As for the teacher's Iruka to pay attention to safety and go home early, Sasuke ignored it.

Although he did feel that the atmosphere in the village was a bit unusual recently, the adults would occasionally get together and say some sensitive words, such as war and the ...... in the country of demons

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with a student like him who didn't graduate.

The war was too far away from him.

His only goal now is to improve his strength, kill the Uchiha Itachi, and revive the glory of the Uchiha clan.

As for everything else, it has to come after this.

In the shadows that Sasuke didn't know, two shadows peered through the hidden shade of the tree, peeking at everything about Sasuke.

Sasuke's cultivation progress naturally fell in the eyes of the dark department, and he recorded everything in detail, picked out the important parts of it, compiled it into information, and reported it to the Hokage regularly.

After all, he is the last member of the Konoha Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha of Konoha in the future is likely to need the other party to regain his prestige.

The shadows who were in charge of taking care of Sasuke didn't dare to be careless, but they didn't expose themselves to Sasuke either.

◎

For Sasuke Uchiha, Hichiha's mood has always been a mixture of fear and anticipation.

Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother, Itachi's ninja talent is not just excellent, in the decades since he held the position of Hokage, except for the four generations of Mebo Feng Shui Gate, he has never seen anyone in the ninja talent that can be compared to Itachi.

As Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke's ninja talent is naturally not bad, and if he gets the right teaching, his strength will quickly improve by leaps and bounds. Especially under the oppression of such a radical mentality as revenge, the other party will do everything to gain power.

But on the other hand, he is also afraid of Sasuke's growth.

Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

In today's ninja world, there are already two pairs of such eyes.

One belongs to Itachi, and the ability of the pupil is unknown.

A pair of Uchiha glasses belong to the Uchiha glaze, and the pupil technique is ever-changing, and it is close to Lei Dun. But the specific essence has not been investigated, and the intelligence is still too scarce, let alone the targeted methods.

The power of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye is too powerful.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are also unpredictable.

Even if it was the dead water stop, it was only when he was forced to expose the fact that he had a kaleidoscope writing wheel.

It can be seen that the sui is not completely loyal to Konoha, and the kaleidoscope pupil technique of the sui is able to fundamentally change a person's will, and such a pupil technique, if it is placed on an Uchiha with unstable factors, it is likely to turn into a disaster for Konoha.

Uchiha ninjas like Itachi who can think from the village's perspective without hesitation are too few after all.

Sasuke, who inherits the same bloodline as Itachi, also has the possibility of awakening the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye in the future.

It's just that Sasuke will stand firmly on the side of the village like Itachi?

After knowing the truth about the extermination.

No, by agreement, the Itachi will put an end to this possibility.

But in case, Sasuke knows the truth......

In case of......

Hizaki frowned deeply, looking at the information about Sasuke presented by the shadows, Hizai fell into the same hesitation as before.

Because of his hesitation, Danzou had an opportunity to take advantage of it and directly ordered Itachi to exterminate the Uchiha clan, bypassing the Hokage's authority, but also successfully preventing the outbreak of the Konoha Civil War. From a big point of view, Danzou is also a contributor to the stability of Konoha peace.

"Sasuke Uchiha...... Sasuke Uchiha ......"

With the rise of the Oni Country, there is also the Uchiha clan on the Oni Country, and it is impossible to hide this matter from Sasuke for the rest of his life.

Because it's unrealistic.

Now that he has orders, even if someone in the village mentions the country of demons, they are very secretive about the Uchiha clan of the country of demons. The source of the information was temporarily concealed.

But sooner or later Sasuke will know, maybe in a year, two years, four years...... In short, this kind of thing can't be hidden. It can only be delayed for a while.

Knowing that there are still clansmen left, what decision will Sasuke make?

For Sasuke, who has lost his clan, revenge has become the only living belief of the other party.

Even if he has been cultivated in the mind of the Will of Fire since childhood, it is inevitable that the other party will not have the idea of leaving Konoha and going to the country of ghosts to seek the true power that belongs to Uchiha.

"Hokage-sama."

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in."

Hinata put away the folder where Sasuke's information was recorded, carefully placed it in the drawer, and said a word to the person outside the door.

The door to the office opened, and the head of the upper shinobi squad, Nara Shikahisa, walked in from the outside, holding a pile of heavy documents in his arms and placing them on Hichi's desk.

"Things have been getting busy again lately."

Looking at the pile of documents that had not been disposed of, Richo took a puff of his pipe and frowned.

"There's no way, the situation on the Rain Country side is changing too quickly, and now the Ghost Country has also intervened, and the Daimyo's side is starting to get anxious."

Shikaku sighed.

The current Fire Country does not have the strength to fight against the Demon Country.

The post-war development of the Third Ninja World War has not yet fully recovered, and a few months ago, in the first battle of the Wind Country, Konoha also lost a number of elites, and if a war broke out with the Ghost Country, the chance of winning was very small.

Hizap opened the top document, and unsurprisingly, a considerable part of this pile of documents was about the civil war in the rain.

"Do you think Konoha should step in now?"

It is an extremely secret thing for the roots to infiltrate the rain country, and it is the ninja troops belonging to the fire country daimyo mansion that really muddy the situation in the rain country. The root of the regiment is only responsible for intelligence gathering, and is not directly involved in operations.

"Anyway, we can't let the country of ghosts underestimate the power of our Konoha too much."

Lu Jiu thought about it for a moment and said.

At this time, the attitude must be tougher, even if it is pretending to be tough, it is necessary to give all countries the appearance that Konoha is still strong, so that some restless countries that covet the country of fire will not dare to act rashly.

"Deterrence?"

"Yes. The country of demons is also holding the same idea. Judging from the overall situation of the other party's layout of the country of waves, he does not want to directly break out a war with the big powers, but manipulates behind the scenes and conducts proxy wars. Now that the country of ghosts has settled in the country of rain, it is the same reason. ”

Proxy war.

That's easy to understand.

With small countries as a chessboard, the two sides will sit firmly in the rear and not let the situation get completely out of control.

"But we also have to hold the idea of starting a full-scale war with the big powers, and doing this now just wants us to lose our vigilance."

Hizashi said.

After hearing this, Lu Jiu nodded seriously.

The words of the Japanese slash are not unreasonable, and the initiative cannot be put in the hands of the country of ghosts, even if a full-scale war does not necessarily break out, the mobilization of materials before the war still needs to be completed.

"First send 1,500 ninjas to the western border of the Fire Country, and show the attitude of marching towards the Land of Rain. The village is ready for the pre-war situation, and in the face of the country of ghosts, everything must be prepared. ”

"Let's hold a meeting to explain this."

Shikaku suggested.

"I'll arrange it later."

In the past, the Upper Ninja Council was more formal than meaningful, but now with the decline in the authority of the Hokage, the importance of the Upper Ninja Conference has also made Hinata pay attention to it. Otherwise, it is not so simple to check and balance the power of the advisor and the root.

Thinking of this, Ri Slash couldn't help but miss the past, the time when White Fang and the Three Ninjas were there.

"By the way, about Uchiha Sasuke, Shikaku, what do you think is the best arrangement?"

Hizai suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Jiu.

"Uh...... This thing ......"

To be honest, Shikaku didn't want to get involved in dealing with the orphans of the Uchiha clan, as that often meant trouble.

"It's okay, there's no pressure on me."

Hizashi hopes that Lujiu will tell the truth.

Lu Jiu sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide.

"Then I'll be blunt, Hokage-sama. According to my troublesome son, Uchiha Sasuke has basically completed the necessary training in the ninja school, and whether it is the three-body technique or the physical technique, compared with his peers, he is undoubtedly at the forefront. If Sasuke Uchiha wants to go further, it doesn't make much sense to continue to stay in the ninja school. ”

Lu Jiu replied.

Theory is something that must be put into practice after all.

From the idea of cultivating excellent ninjas as a starting point, it is more appropriate to adopt a more elite private teaching for Sasuke.

After all, his son, Nara Shikamaru, is the same.

The knowledge in the ninja school is only a level of learning at best, and the secret ninjutsu of the family is the foundation, and a more elite small class type of private teaching will be adopted in the family.

Although the establishment of the ninja school has created the so-called 'fairness', this fairness is also relative fairness, not absolute fairness.

What's more, Sasuke has a blood inheritance limit that most ninjas don't have, and if he puts it like this, it's just a waste of the other party's talent.

If it was in the past, Shikaku was not worried, but now that the Uchiha clan is wiped out, Sasuke has lost all his elders overnight, and there is no one who can guide Sasuke on how to use his strength, and he has also lost the teaching resources of the Uchiha clan. This is a kind of sadness for the Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja.

Konoha is in dire need of combat power now, and if Sasuke can be cultivated, it can be a huge boost to Konoha in the future.

This is Shikahisa's idea.

Hizai began to think about it.

It's not that he can't understand Lujiu's thoughts, it's just that the truth about the extermination of the Uchiha clan is not as simple as the eyes of the world, and it involves the 'darkness' of the Konoha high-level, which is something that Hinata doesn't want to be exposed.

He was afraid that sooner or later, Sasuke would detect the truth about the extermination, and then instead of becoming Konoha's help, he would become a sharp blade piercing Konoha's heart.

Sasuke is an Avenger.

He's not a young kid anymore.

With a deep hatred of the sea of blood, such a person is the easiest to go to the extreme, in order to pursue power, like the Great Snake Pill who left Konoha......

Hesitate.

Such hesitation appeared in my heart more than once, which made the mentality of the day slash gradually age.

If he is tougher in the face of the Uchiha clan's affairs, perhaps, the Uchiha clan's affairs will take a turn for the better.

This is all due to his incompetence and hesitation.

Instead of blaming Tuan Zang for cutting first and then playing, he now regrets his incompetence and hesitation even more.

Then, Hizari's eyes became firm.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

The country of ghosts has begun to interfere in the affairs of the country of waves and the country of rain, these two small countries are adjacent to the country of fire, once the forces of the country of ghosts settle in, it will not be a good thing for the country of fire or for Konoha.

This kind of pressure is no less than the period of the Third Ninja World War, and the pressure brought by facing Iwakuin and Sand Cakure at the same time is small.

His own hesitation has brought the Uchiha clan to the end, and if he continues to let Konoha fall because of his hesitation, he will not have face when he sees the Hokage of the past generations in the future.

What's more, he had already decided that he would pass on the Hokage's position, and before Jiraiya reversed Tsunade's will, he had to leave a stable foundation for Tsunade, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

"I see, I'll talk to Kakashi about it."

Hinata said with determination.

"Kakashi?"

Lu Jiu was stunned.

"Things in the garrison and the shadows have stabilized for the time being, and there are many things that Kakashi doesn't have to do himself. Kakashi had been in the same group as the Uchiha ninja in the past, and he knew more about Sharingan than most of the ninjas in the village. And, at the right time, I hope to absorb Sasuke into the shadows. ”

Hizaki gave an explanation.

With Kakashi's guidance, I hope to dispel some of the hatred in the other party's heart as much as possible, pay attention to the bonds in the village, and pave the way for Sasuke to join the shadows in the future.

Only then will he be able to use Sasuke with confidence.

When you are in the upper position of Tsunade, you will not be unavailable.

"Is that so?"

Let Kakashi, the head of the dark department and the acting captain of the garrison, personally teach, and also arrange for Sasuke to enter the dark department in the future, Shikaku looked at the sun with a resolute face.

This Hokage-sama has indeed changed a little from the past.

It's just that this change, it would have been better earlier.

Now, hopefully, we can turn the tide.

Lu Jiu sighed in his heart, Konoha had missed too many opportunities.

From the time of the fourth generation's accession to the throne, opportunities have been lost. Now to redeem it, the double pressure of internal and external, even as the leader of the upper ninja class, is very heavy.

Of course, there is one more thing that Hizaki did not say.

That is for Kakashi to teach Kakashi, and also to reassure Itachi outside, saying that Konoha will not treat Sasuke badly and will provide the best quality teaching for his younger brother.

In this way, Itachi will work harder to serve Konoha even harder.

Even if you are a traitor, you will die for Konoha.

◎

"Hokage-sama, you've really got me a troublesome mission."

In the office of the Dark Ministry Headquarters Building, Kakashi's rather lazy voice sounded.

The Hokage's orders were absolute.

For ninjas who are accustomed to living in the shadows, this rule must not be violated. Even the head of the dark department cannot be violated.

Therefore, the moment the Hokage ordered it, Kakashi knew that he couldn't be lazy again recently.

Finally managed to deal with the affairs of the dark department and the garrison, as long as the work of the two departments was on the right track, he only needed to deal with a certain amount of documents every day, and then he had nothing to do, take a walk, watch, practice the white fang knife technique, and the days could go on like this.

But now that I'm going to teach the orphans of the Konoha Uchiha clan one-on-one, it's not that I can't understand the Hokage's thoughts, but in this way, I don't have much time to enjoy Jiraiya's new "Intimacy Paradise".

Really, it's clear that it's a critical moment, and maybe your leisure time will be reduced in the future.

"Just teaching a child, for the minister, should be a matter of handy."

Standing in Kakashi's office, there was another Shadow Ninja, who smiled at Kakashi.

The moon is shining.

Although it's only an eighteen-year-old flower season girl, it's already a special ninja in the shadows.

He is proficient in Konoha swordsmanship.

If it's an ordinary ninja who is not careful, he will also be assassinated by her swordsmanship.

He is a swordsmanship ninja who hides in the shadows and waits for an opportunity to kill with one blow.

Holds the position of squad leader in the dark department.

He is also one of the important subordinates that Kakashi trusts.

"Hmm...... Who knows, it's a trouble after all. ”

Kakashi casually said perfunctorily.

Not only is he worried that teaching Sasuke will squeeze his rest time, but if the country of ghosts also comes to intervene, then the task of teaching Sasuke can't be half-hearted.

No, for sure.

After all, he is also from the Uchiha clan, and Sasuke does not have the background of betraying the clan like Itachi, and sooner or later he will be picked up by the Uchiha clan in the country of ghosts and become a member there.

Now I just don't want to make a big deal out of it, so I'll put Sasuke on Konoha for a while to foster for a while.

When the time is right, Sasuke will leave Konoha.

"Don't worry, I, and my predecessors will help the minister deal with the affairs of the dark department. As for the garrison, aren't they already negotiating with the Hyuga clan? ”

Xiyan smiled.

"yes, I don't know if the Hyuga clan will agree."

Wearing two hats, even if Kakashi agreed, the Hokage's side wouldn't think about it like that.

So, Kakashi is just the acting captain of the garrison.

According to the current form of Konoha and the instructions of the Hokage, he hopes to entrust the position of captain of the garrison to the Hyuga clan, and the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata, will serve as the captain.

It's just that this appeal was rejected by Hinata Hinata without hesitation.

Because I'm afraid.

In the past, the reputation of the garrison in the hands of the Uchiha clan was not very good, and if it assumed the position of the garrison, then it would be subject to a certain amount of public pressure.

The Hyuga clan has a stable position, and there is no need to meddle in the garrison anymore.

Originally, Nara Shikahisa was also a high-quality candidate.

It's a pity that the other party is the leader of the upper ninja squad, and his usual tasks are already heavy, so he can only miss the position of captain of the garrison.

"When is the Minister going to teach that little boy of the Uchiha clan?"

Xiyan asked.

"Let's go back in a few days, and finish the matter here in the shadows first. Anyway, there is no rush for a while. ”

"The minister just wants to finish reading the new work of "Intimate Paradise"."

"That...... Ahaha......"

Kakashi scratched his head in embarrassment, it was really embarrassing to be discovered by a female member.

◎

Burdened with a sea of blood and hatred.

For Sasuke, the most painful thing is the period of time when he sleeps every night.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the nightmarish night would flood in and swallow him into the depths of the sea, as if he were about to suffocate to death.

Therefore, he has to cultivate harder than anyone else.

No matter who it is, it can't stop him from getting revenge.

When others share their interests and laugh and communicate, he can only stand alone in another world.

The warm world is too cruel, there is no so-called friendship in the eyes of the Avenger, and there is no need to communicate with others, he just needs to become stronger silently.

Until you kill the traitor Itachi Uchiha.

The resentment in his heart will be appeased.

Standing in the silence of the forest, Sasuke clutched his shuriken.

"Hoo ......"

Qi sank into the dantian, and then slowly exhaled the breath in his body.

Bending down slightly, his body jumped up and turned upside down in the air.

The arm poked out like lightning, and the shuriken shot out together, flying towards the target hanging from the trees.

A few snaps passed.

Shuriken all hit the red bull's-eye without exception.

Sasuke landed on the ground unharmed, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw his results.

Before he could satisfy such an achievement, an untimely voice came into his ears:

"This kind of cultivation is meaningless, you're just wasting your time, kid of the Uchiha family."

"Who?"

Sasuke was shocked, looked left and right, and found no one, then looked up and saw a person on the tree where a target was erected.

Holding an open book in his hand, he leaned lazily there.

His eyes were placed on the tree without squinting, but Sasuke's cultivation process was all in his eyes, and he gave a meaningless evaluation.

"You ......"

Sasuke saw the other man's familiar attire, a dark uniform, a short knife behind his back, a mask, and silver-white hair, and confirmed that he had seen this person.

Previously, he entrusted the Hokage to find the missing stele of the Uchiha clan, and it was this dark subordinate who was responsible for investigating the disappearance of the stele.

There have been several encounters.

"That's what you're called...... Kakashi: yes? ”

Sasuke asked not quite sure.

"It's Kakashi Hachiki."

Kakashi closed the book, jumped off the tree, and landed in front of Sasuke to stand still, looking at Sasuke with a smile and saying his name.
