Di Di –

Di Di –

The alarm clock rang in the dimly lit room, and through the gaps in the curtains, only a dim light could be seen, and it should be some time before it was completely dawn.

But the moment the alarm clock rang, the man opened his eyes from the bed board, woke up, and the moment he opened his eyes, the sleepiness disappeared completely.

Habitually reaching out and pressing the switch of the alarm clock, silence returned to the room.

The man started from the bed, lifted the quilt, stepped out of bed, turned on the light in the bedroom, and began to dress.

After waiting for the clothes to be dressed, the man walked to the mirror in the closet and looked carefully at his current appearance.

Shoulder-length aqua blue hair, handsome face, and light but sharp eyes, but then under the subconscious adjustment, the sharp color in the eyes disappeared, turning into a soft and cordial meaning.

But this gesture didn't last long, and the man, as if sensing something, took out the kunai from his ninja bag, turned around and pointed the kunai in his hand to the corner of the room.

At some point, there was already a young man a few years younger than his own age.

The young man wore a pair of round-framed glasses, with a quiet and friendly temperament, with a light smile on his face, and stood there motionless staring at him.

"It's you, Dou. Is there anything wrong with coming here so early in the morning? ”

After the man recognized the identity of the person, although he put down his palm, the kunai in his hand did not put away, obviously maintaining a certain degree of caution against the young man with glasses.

"Don't be so cold, I'm just here to comfort you according to Orochimaru-sama's orders. You don't have a problem with today's arrangement, right, Mizuki? ”

Dou called out the man's name.

Konoha Nakaya Shinobi, currently working at the Konoha Ninja School, is an elite teacher.

As if sensing the distrust in Dou's tone, Mizuki's brows quickly furrowed, and he said, "If you don't believe me, you can take over my mission at any time." I don't feel safe working with people like you. ”

"Don't get me wrong, we're all doing things for Orochimaru-sama, and a lot of the time we can't help ourselves. Moreover, Lord Orochimaru attaches great importance to this matter. You are the best fit. ”

Dou said with a smile.

"Then don't talk nonsense here, I'm being watched by the shadows right now. If you don't want to reveal your identity, don't keep too close to me. ”

"Knowing that you are being stared at by the shadows, you dare to act so boldly, as Orochimaru-sama said, you are a guy who likes to seek wealth in danger. However, I also remind you, don't think about betraying Orochimaru-sama, otherwise you will understand what your fate will be. ”

"Oh, then I'd like to hear about it."

Mizuki looked at Dou with a sneer.

"For example, I remember you had a fiancée in the village......"

Laugh at!

Kunai pierced the air and rested on Dou's neck.

Mizuki appeared in front of Dou, and a few strands of hair fell down.

For the kunai on his neck, Dou looked at Mizuki indifferently.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything, I just don't want you to do something superfluous and end up implicating the people you value."

Looking at the cold murderous intent hidden in Mizuki's eyes, Dou said this sentence in a flat tone.

"It's not like someone like you should say it."

Mizuki said coldly.

"Even spies like us, who survive by deception, have in their hearts something that they are not allowed to blaspheme. I can understand your situation very well, because I have lost, so for me now, Orochimaru-sama is everything. ”

"I just need strength, power that makes idiots like Konoha regret it. I'm not interested in your past. I and Orochimaru are only in a cooperative relationship, don't try to order me with the attitude of superiors and subordinates. ”

Mizuki seemed to see through the potential intentions of the pocket, and secretly sneered in his heart.

"That's a shame."

Dou pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the smile in his eyes disappeared, turned into an indifferent color, and looked at Mizuki.

The solicitation failed. He said secretly in his heart.

However, this is also to be expected.

It's just a pity that such a good chess piece.

After all, if Mizuki can complete this mission, his status in Orochimaru's mind will inevitably be elevated and move closer to his cronies.

This is also the reason why he came to woo the other party.

Whether it's coercion, or playing the emotional card, it doesn't seem to have a great effect.

We can only wait for the opportunity to arise later.

After all, under Orochimaru's command, there are too many people who want to challenge his position and work hard for Orochimaru.

If you don't recruit your own subordinates as soon as possible, you may be secretly killed one day and become a stepping stone for others to be promoted.

This may be the charm of Orochimaru-sama. Dou couldn't help but smile.

Just words and deeds are enough to make people crazy to work for them.

The fanatical attitude of disdainful of worldly habits and the pursuit of immortality and truth makes people want to rely on it.

"Nothing else, hurry up and get out of here, before I can restrain my killing intent towards you."

Mizuki let go of the kunai and turned around with an indifferent attitude.

"Okay, then good luck, don't forget to put your things in the designated place when the time comes. The consequences of mission failure, you should know. That sigil is a double-edged sword that will increase the power you've been craving, but it will also kill you. ”

Dou took a deep look at Mizuki's back, and his hands were sealed, turning into a cloud of white smoke and disappearing into Mizuki's room.

"What a nasty guy......"

It's not a personality disagreement, it's a professional conflict.

Being in the big dye vat of Konoha is already very tired.

As a result, he has to constantly compete with his 'peers', and even he will have the idea of wanting to abandon all distractions and empty his head and relax.

"Also, this spell mark is neither the curse mark of heaven nor the curse mark of earth, this is the limit of my talent."

Mizuki stroked the location of the curse mark on his body, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Orochimaru's spell mark can enhance the strength of the ninja, but it also requires certain requirements for the quality of the 'sacrifice'.

If the quality is very high, you will be given two kinds of spell seals.

If the quality is low, it will be given a semi-finished product, with a mediocre amplification ability, and a spell mark with strong sequelae.

Unfortunately, he's the kind of ninja talent that is very low.

Obviously, he is about the same age as Kakashi Hachiki, but the other party is already a big man in charge, and he can only live a life in the ninja school.

Whenever I see a gifted student in school, I can't help but feel jealous, why is my talent so wasteful? There is neither a family secret nor a blood inheritance limit......

As a teacher, Mizuki is well aware of the unfairness of this world.

Some come down to luck, some to artificiality.

"Alas......"

Sentimentality doesn't feel like it's your own style.

Mizuki has always been awake about what he longs for.

Get ahead and become a man of men.

For this reason, he keeps climbing upward, whether it is jealousy, disgust with genius, greed for vanity in his heart, he just wants to climb upward.

In this kind of world, only by constantly climbing upwards can we achieve a better life and dignity.

He enjoyed the feeling of being embraced.

Whether it's Konoha or Orochimaru, it will only be a stepping stone on his way to promotion!

At this moment, Mizuki's heart was unprecedentedly firm!

◎

"Good morning, Iruka."

"Good morning, Mizuki."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Mizuki arrived at the office where the ninja school was located, and found that Iruka had arrived early and was reading some student materials there. I guess I'm worried about the students who are going to take their graduation exams this morning.

So, Mizuki came up and said hello.

Iruka was one of the few acquaintances he had good relations with, but unlike someone like him who was uncomfortable with the status quo, Iruka seemed to be very enthusiastic about his job as a teacher, and was more loved by his colleagues and students at school than any other apparently good person.

Although they are friends, Mizuki was also jealous of Iruka.

Why is Iruka, who is weaker than himself, more popular than himself?

It used to be, too.

is obviously weaker than him, but in every rating test, he got a higher score than himself.

Although affinity is one thing, before becoming a teacher, those rating tests should pay more attention to ability and strength and performance.

For a long time, Mizuki began to wonder if he wasn't good enough in something.

Jealousy was the driving force behind his promotion.

He wants to be a man of the best, even if his talent is only in the middle class, but he also wants to enjoy the glorious moment that everyone is looking forward to, get ahead, and take action for it.

As a result, Iruka's performance was more dazzling than him every time.

Perhaps, he was born a despicable person.

Therefore, every time he meets Iruka, Mizuki's heart is extremely complicated.

Jealousy, envy, longing, and hatred!

But these will not be shown on the surface, and mature people should learn to control their emotions.

Even if you don't like the colleague in front of you anymore, you must try to restrain the negative emotions in your heart and don't bring them to work.

"Are you busy with the students?"

Mizuki asked with a smile as he glanced at the student profile in front of Iruka and smiled.

Iruka sighed, nodded and said, "yes, I'm not worried about the other students, but Naruto...... Although I accepted Mizuki's proposal, I gave Naruto additional tutoring last night, but it still didn't work well. His use of ninjutsu is still not very handy. And this year's graduation test is the Transfiguration ......"

In other words, Naruto, who has extremely poor ninjutsu scores, has been sentenced to death in this year's graduation exam.

"Don't worry, I believe that Yoshito has his own natural appearance, and Naruto will definitely pass the exam smoothly today and become a shinobi."

Mizuki strives to be what a teacher should be.

Although he didn't like Naruto, a bad student who relied on pranks to get the attention of others.

Not only is it irresponsible for yourself, but it will also affect the mood of other students in class and waste their precious time.

Moreover, he believes that there are some things that can be said openly.

It's a pity, thinking of the particularity of Naruto's identity, Mizuki also knows that this may be Naruto's only choice as a last resort.

It's obviously a human pillar, but as a result, only one person is hidden, although not everyone in the village knows about it, but except for children, adults are all insiders.

So what's the point of such a concealment?

Anyway, Mizuki didn't quite understand what Hokage-sama was thinking.

"Hopefully."

Although he hoped that Naruto would pass the exam, Iruka also knew that that hope was slim.

Overnight, it was a little too difficult to get Naruto to transform.

Iruka was pessimistic about Naruto's successful graduation.

"Iruka, Mizuki, come over for a meeting. In half an hour, it's time for the exam. ”

A bald man in his fifties walked to the door of the office and shouted to Iruka and Mizuki, who were talking about things.

Due to the graduation exam, the school day is delayed, and the sixth grade students only need to arrive at the corresponding classroom before 9 o'clock.

The official time of the graduation exam is 9:30.

"Yes, we know, come right away, Director Fujimura."

Mizuki nodded.

This bald man, who is over 50 years old, is his and Iruka's direct superior, Fujimura Taiga.

A high-level elite teacher who has served in the ninja school for thirty years, and in the school, he can be regarded as the leader of him and Iruka.

Speaking of which, the other party is also a super celebrity of the ninja school.

After all, being able to teach three incomparably terrifying S-level traitors, whether they are good or bad, but it also shows the extraordinaryness of the other party.

The students he has taught have also made a lot of great 'contributions' to Konoha over the years.

◎

"Today's graduation test question is the doppelganger technique, as long as you can summon two complete doppelgangers, you will pass the test. Well, there will be other teachers coming over later, taking care of the order, and calling names in order. If you have your name called, go to the classroom next to you to take the test, and if you do not have your name, please wait quietly in the class. ”

Iruka, who walked into the class after the meeting, explained what she was going to test today, as well as the order of the graduation test.

Then he vaguely glanced at Naruto, who was holding his head in distress, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything more in the classroom, if Naruto's ability was not up to par, let him pass the graduation exam, and in doing so, it would only hurt Naruto.

Iruka couldn't do that.

After Iruka finished speaking, she left the class and went to the next classroom to set up the exam room.

After Iruka left, some of the students in the class were happy and some were sad.

It is not difficult to master the three-body technique, but it is not easy to say that it is simple.

For most students, such a test is no different from sending a mark.

But for a small number of poor students, the doppelganger technique is not so easy to master the basic ninjutsu.

"It's a boring exam."

Sasuke, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, didn't have the slightest fluctuation in his heart about the content of the exam announced by Iruka.

But for this kind of thing, Sasuke had expected it.

The exercises I usually do are also related to the three-body technique, and in addition, it is the application of physical techniques and shuriken.

But it is something more basic than the three-body technique, and it is a skill that every student needs to master, so it is basically not included in the assessment.

More than that, Sasuke cares more about who his future team members are.

He surveyed all his classmates in the classroom and began to estimate which two people would form a team with him.

First of all, the tail of a 10,000-year-old crane was excluded.

Let's not talk about whether the other party can successfully pass this graduation test, even if they can pass this test, with the other party's ability, it is impossible to be in a team with themselves.

Compared with this kind of crane tail, he hopes that his teammates in the team are the elite of the class.

Sasuke scanned back and forth among the 'elites' in his class, estimating which two of them would become his teammates.

◎

"Did you start looking for teammates so early? Sasuke, this guy is still so realistic. ”

Through the crystal ball unfolded by the three generations of Hokage, Kakashi noticed that Sasuke, who was sitting in the corner of the class, was scanning the backs of his classmates in the classroom, and Kakashi knew exactly what the other party was looking at.

During the shinobi period, there will be regular teachers and teammates, and for the students, they can know about this kind of thing with a little inquiry.

Moreover, after following him for a few years, Sasuke knows more information than ordinary students.

So, Sasuke must have been looking for his teammates a long time ago.

For a student of his ability, his strength is enough, so he doesn't want his teammates to hold him back.

Because the other side needs revenge.

Sasuke doesn't put his excess energy into taking care of others.

Kakashi knows this.

"This also shows Sasuke's excellence, after your teaching, his strength is significantly higher than that of his peers."

Hizari's smile of satisfaction.

The more powerful Sasuke is, the more obvious the potential benefits for Konoha are.

The only difficulty lies in the country of ghosts.

If Sasuke knew that there were still members of the Uchiha clan in a distant country, what choice would the other party make?

Because of this, he arranged for Kakashi to go to Sasuke and gain the other party's trust.

In order to prevent this day from coming.

It's not just to reassure Uchiha Itachi who is far away from Konoha.

It's also because Sasuke will always grow up one day, and his vision will gradually see the outside world.

The affairs of the country of ghosts will not be able to be hidden at all when the time comes.

In particular, the country of ghosts plans to unite with the rest of the big ninja villages and hold the joint ninja exam this year, and when the time comes, with Sasuke's temperament, he will definitely sign up for it.

Once Sasuke signs up for this joint shinobi exam, it means that he will definitely have contact with the Uchiha clan in the country of ghosts.

Perhaps, this is a good opportunity to test whether Sasuke can remain loyal to Konoha or not.

As for the feud between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups, this secret will forever be precipitated in the endless abyss.

He was confident that Itachi would arrange it.

From beginning to end, Itachi, who stood firmly on the side of the Will of Fire, never let them down.

"It's that he's too obsessed with revenge. Even without my teaching, he will do everything he can to become stronger. ”

At the moment when the other party survived with the belief of revenge, Kakashi couldn't treat Sasuke completely as a child.

After such a tragic incident, Sasuke's mentality has long been incompatible with the students of the same period.

While students of the same age are still enjoying their childhood, the other party has to harbor hatred, and they are frightened by nightmares every day and are covered in cold sweat, and their mentality has long since changed.

Others need to 'open meat' in order to become a true ninja.

And Sasuke, I'm afraid he can quickly adapt to such a thing as killing.

"Anyway, for Sasuke's later teachings, you still need to be personally responsible."

The day slash is meaningful.

At present, among Konoha people, only Kakashi can stabilize Sasuke's mood.

He hoped that Kakashi, at the right time, would let Sasuke make the right decision.

This is also a promise to Itachi.

For Konoha , it is also possible to harvest a powerful Sharingan ninja.

To deal with the Uchiha clan in the country of demons, you also need to use Sasuke's ability.

Only the writing wheel eye can better deal with the writing wheel eye.

If you can open the kaleidoscope writing wheel, you will have a greater grasp of dealing with the country of ghosts.

"The work of the dark ......"

Kakashi hesitated, though enough nails had been planted in the shadows.

But suddenly, Kakashi felt a little unaccustomed to a new way of life.

If you think about it, he has been working in the shadows since the fourth generation Hokage came to power thirteen years ago.

In the shadows, he can be regarded as a veteran-level figure.

Leaving all of this behind and going out into the sun was a long-lost experience for Kakashi.

I remembered some of the past events that followed the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate.

"You don't have to hand it over to someone else, and some decisions still need to be made by you, the minister. Some trivial matters, just let Tianzang handle it for you. ”

Hizashi said.

"I see. If you want to hide it, then it's no problem. ”

The other party is a staunch supporter of the Will of Fire, and he also has the Wood Escape Blood Inheritance Limit, and is one of the few die-hard cronies of the day.

As a superior person, he will not tie all the power of the dark department to one person.

He, the head of the dark department, originally obtained it very accidentally.

Tenzo is the best person to share his power.

And teaching Sasuke was just an excuse that he couldn't refuse.

Kakashi already knew that this day would come, and it was no longer about trust, but about decentralization of power as a way to better balance the power in the hands of his subordinates.

As they talked, the school's graduation exams came to an extremely critical time.

The picture presented in the crystal ball is Naruto, under the serious gaze of Iruka, Mizuki and other examiners, standing in the classroom used for the graduation exam with a nervous expression.

It can be seen that Naruto is not at all confident in the next doppelganger assessment.

He sealed the seal in the order of the doppelganger technique, and with a bang, a clone with a pale body and a wilted body appeared next to him, like a dead fish lying on the ground.

“……”

Hizai pressed down the hat on his head slightly.

Kakashi also looked away.

Several examiners in the crystal ball have black lines.

Although they had long expected that with Naruto's ability, it would be difficult to pass this exam, but such a bad doppelganger technique simply refreshed their understanding of the lower limit of the doppelganger technique.

No matter how bad the previous sessions are, no comment.

Although it was not explicitly stated, the eyes of the examiners expressed such a meaning.

"Sure enough, it's better to wait until next year to conduct the assessment."

For a long time, Kakashi said something like this.

One Sasuke was already troublesome enough, and if he stuffed the Nine-Tails Pillar Force into it, his work pressure would undoubtedly be even greater.

Hizashi didn't say anything about Naruto, but said, "Next, keep an eye on Mizuki, he will definitely take action against Naruto next, and then follow this line to find out who is behind the scenes." ”

He was very worried, the person behind Mizuki was the man who was extremely dangerous to Konoha - Chiba Shiraishi!

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded, and the figure disappeared from Hizai.
