Chapter 290: Why, Exactly? (2-in-1 chapter)
In the final final exam, the most anticipated strongest battle was Sasuke's groundbreaking counterattack, which won Naruto with difficulty!
You must know that in the current world line, Sasuke has been pressed by Naruto for six years in school, although the overall ranking has always been first, but on the side, this is the first time he has won against Naruto.
"I ...... I won! Ha ha! I won!! Sure enough, our Uchiha clan is the strongest! Hahahaha! ”
At that moment, Sasuke, who was infinitely excited, covered his right eye with one hand and raised his head to let out the signature Uchiha laugh.
After laughing, he didn't forget to bow his head and taunt Naruto, who was kneeling on the ground, "See, stupid Naruto, I'm the strongest in my grade!" The little princess of our Uchiha clan should be guarded by me! ”
At that moment, Hinata Inaba, who was still smiling and smiling kindly on the rostrum, suddenly stiffened, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.
And then what made him even more full of question marks was that Naruto, who was kneeling on the ground, was still very unconvinced and replied: "Damn! You're less proud! You only won once, and the future of Chizuru-chan must still be guarded by me! ”
"emmm ......" At that moment, Hinata Inaba's eyes gradually narrowed.
Originally, you two stinky boys fought so hotly, and you gave Principal Ben a wave of face, and I was quite grateful to you, but now what's going on?
Thieves don't die, do they?
Looks like the punch you two gave you yesterday was still too light!
Hinata Inaba grinded her teeth secretly and turned to Kakashi, who was sitting next to her, to ask Kakashi.
"What is the arrangement for this year's graduates? Will the top three go to your team? ”
Now Kakashi's position is much stronger than in the original book!
He's the captain of the Konoha Shadow Division, and the advisor elder!
The disciple of the previous Hokage, the right-hand man of the current Hokage, and one of the most powerful shinobi in the village!
So despite the changes in the world line and Naruto's epic strengthening, according to the original arrangement, this little yellow hair and Sasuke still have to be returned to Kakashi's sect without accident.
Of course, that was the original arrangement, and if nothing else, it was going to be an accident.
Kakashi replied lazily, "Yes, it was originally arranged like this, what?" Do you have any new ideas? ”
Hinata Inaba hooked the corners of her mouth, showed a dangerous smile, and said, "It's a little idea, why don't I personally lead a team this time, and leave these two little guys to me." ”
Kakashi naturally had no objection to this, "You're the Hokage, you have the final say. ”
At this time, the two little ghosts who were still fighting with each other in the venue didn't know that their "good days" were coming!
After that, the strongest battle came to an end, and there were still many students waiting for the assessment in the future.
Although the performance of these students who came on the field later could hardly reach the heights of Naruto and Sasuke, the average quality of the duel was still quite high.
far surpasses the level of the graduation exam in the original book.
This also made the people who came to observe more deeply and intuitively feel the effectiveness of Hinata's education reform!
Improving the average quality of the ninja team is more than just a generic slogan.
Among them, there is also an impressive dark horse, after Naruto and Sasuke in the second half of the assessment, he once again showed excellent potential that was enough to shock the upper ninja.
He is white!
The last descendant of the snow clan who came back from the fog four years ago by Hinata Inaba himself.
A few years ago, Hinata Inaba abducted a total of three important people from the fog, namely the dried persimmon ghost shark, the ghost lamp Mizuki and the white.
The first two still don't know his true identity, and they are only left in the Tachibana Chamber of Commerce to escort the chamber of commerce's ocean trade.
And the last survivor, Shiro, was the only one who knew his true identity, and was even brought back to Konoha by him, and was sent to a ninja school like a normal Konoha child.
Because among the three, Shiro is undoubtedly the most loyal to Hinata, and after learning that the extermination of the clan has been reported, Hinata Inaba personally helped him kill the Ghost Lantern Patriarch, and Shiro is dead set on Hinata.
It makes no difference to Shiro whether he goes to Konoha or where he goes, he just wants to follow in the footsteps of that person.
At the end of the assessment, Sasuke, who had already won the first place in the comprehensive score of this year's graduation exam, was unconvinced and proposed to compete with Bai alone!
Because he always felt that his first place was not convincing enough - Shikamaru, who was the first in the written test, was crazy about paddling on the side of his body, and Shiro, who was fully capable of competing with him for the first place, had never competed with him at all, which made Sasuke, who was proud by nature and had to fight for everything, very unacceptable.
"Teacher, let Bai fight me again! Don't use ninjutsu or physical arts this time, let's really let go of the competition, and I'm going to prove that the Uchiha is always the strongest! ”
Sasuke looked proudly in the direction of the rostrum.
The other shinobi are also willing to give him face, after all, the Uchiha is indeed a well-deserved number one wealthy family in Konoha Village.
Only Hinata Inaba only smiled faintly at this.
Does the prestige of the Uchiha have anything to do with your kid now? You tugging ass!
However, he had actually noticed outside the school wall early on, and the Uchiha Itachi, who had come and had to hide in the canopy of the tree and make branches and leaves to block his figure, had already noticed outside the school wall.
Seeing that Itachi has been quite honest in the past few years, and has been completely trained into his own shape, Hinata Inaba is accurate.
"Okay, then let's play an extra game, and the overall score of the win will be increased by five points."
Sasuke was scrappy and looked at Shiro defiantly.
Then he was confronted with a silent and cold ice cube.
"Okay."
Bai simply agreed, and didn't say much.
In the subsequent duel, he always used the basic water escape and wind escape ninjutsu taught in the school against the enemy, supplemented by excellent Senbon throwing techniques, and after a few minutes of whirling and pulling with Uchiha Sasuke, he was defeated, and finally calmly admitted defeat, bowed politely and thanked him, and left the arena peacefully.
At this point, Uchiha Sasuke finally successfully won the first place in the grade he had in mind, but his mood was not as happy as he imagined, and he always felt like he had punched the cotton, which was difficult to resolve.
So in the evening, after the entire graduation exam was completely over, he finally couldn't hold back, looked for an opportunity to follow all the way, and caught up with Bai who left school.
"Stop! Feed! Say you, that sissy, you stop me!! ”
In an alley outside the school, Sasuke finally caught up with the cold Shiro, and stopped in front of the other party in an instant, blocking Shiro's way.
"What's the matter, Sasuke-san?"
Until he was stopped and blocked in the alley, Bai still had a cold and indifferent demeanor, tilted his head, and asked Sasuke very calmly.
At that moment, Shiro really looked like a cold and elegant kaolin flower, if he ignored the Adam's apple in his jaw......
Sasuke looked at the delicate face in front of him that was calm and slightly puzzled, and his heartbeat accelerated for a moment.
It's a shame to say that when Bai first entered the ninja school, he even secretly paid attention to this cold and outstanding peer.
It wasn't until later that he found out that he had gone into the same toilet as him......
Shaking his head, Sasuke struggled to put these embarrassing memories behind him.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of him coming over today to block Bai!
What he really wanted to ask was: "Bai, let me ask you, why didn't you use Bing Dun in your last duel with me today?" You're proficient at using that kind of Blood Inheritance Limit, right? And why did you admit defeat so easily in the end? I can feel that you still have a lot of chakra left! Are you taking pity on me? Think it's a charity to give me the number one in the age?! ”
As Sasuke, who has to be strong in his life, the last thing he can accept is charity!
It's even worse for him than beating him head-on!
"No, Sasuke-san." Bai shook his head very calmly and said, "I just judged that the hope of defeating you at that time was very slim, so I took the initiative to admit defeat, it was not a charity, I never thought about it that way." ”
"Then why not do your best? If you get that five extra points, you have a chance to overtake me and become the top graduate this year, why?! ”
“emmm…… If you ask why," Shiro tilted his head again in confusion.
I have to admit that he is so good-looking......
No, now is not the time to think about this!! Sasuke angrily reprimanded himself in his heart!
"Probably because I don't have that kind of need, I don't have the same obsession with being the first in grade as you. That's enough for me now, that's all. Bai explained with a smile, still smiling so gently.
Sasuke couldn't help but be stunned again, but immediately became angry again.
What is the reason for this? He can't accept it!
"How is this possible?! Why wouldn't you care? ”
Bai spread his hands innocently and said, "Don't you care, do you need any special reason?" Or rather, it's because there's no reason why I don't care.
Just like Sasuke-san's fight for the first place is more to prove the strength and superiority of the Uchiha clan; Naruto-san fought for the first place to suppress Sasuke-san, and at the same time to make his parents happy, but I don't have such a reason.
I don't have a family anymore, I don't have parents, I don't need to prove to anyone that my family is strong, my family is not even in the history of Konoha;
I don't have to go for the first place in order to make anyone happy or suppress anyone, there is no one around me who is worthy of doing this.
In my opinion, the graduation exam is just to confirm what I have learned in the past few years, and I didn't learn it in school, so I didn't use it in the exam, that's all.
Are you satisfied with this answer, Sasuke-san? ”
At that moment, Sasuke froze in place, unconsciously opened and closed his mouth twice, but couldn't say a word.
This answer is really speechless.
Because there is no reason to care, there is naturally no need to do your best.
This logic is so self-consistent that people don't know how to refute it at all.
In the end, Sasuke could only stand in place stunned, watching Bai bend down and bow before indifferently leaving, "Then if there is nothing else, I'll leave first, goodbye, Sasuke-san." ”
After noticing that there was no more white figure in his sight, Sasuke was stunned for a moment.
There are people around me who deserve this...... Shiro's last words always haunted him, making it difficult for him to dissolve.
I...... Doesn't it count?
Sasuke didn't know why he had such a strange idea, and then he shook his head suddenly, threw the messy thoughts out of his mind, and turned around and walked towards the Uchiha clan with a strange and awkward mood.
Because of this unexpected episode, today I finally defeated Naruto head-on for the first time and won the first crown in the grade I was not as happy as I imagined.
As a result, the next day, the news that made Sasuke feel even more complicated came!
First of all, the first good news is - Shiro has become his teammate!
He formed a team with Shiro and Naruto, although having Naruto as a fool made Sasuke a little unhappy, but being able to be teammates with Shiro, for some reason Sasuke was still a little happy.
And the other bad news is that their lead teacher is a completely unknown and unknown shadow ninja.
"Codename leaf? Who is this man? I've never heard of this person in the village, and our squad with such a high graduation score won't be assigned a mediocre ordinary shinobi to lead the team, right? ”
In the classroom of the ninja school that day, Sasuke muttered unhappily after learning about his graduation assignment.
That day, he saw Kakashi and the clan's big brother Shizui on the rostrum of the observation room, and he thought that his future class leader Shinobi must be one of the two.
What he never expected was that after hearing him muttering the next moment, Bai, who was originally cold and indifferent to everything, suddenly turned his head, and then instantly came to his side at an astonishing speed, grabbed his shoulder, and asked excitedly: "What did you just say that our class ninja code name is called?" ”
Sasuke was completely shocked at the first time.
Then there was a burst of inexplicable surprise and some complicated emotions.
Didn't you say that you don't care about anything?
Didn't you say that there are no people here who deserve your attention?
Why did you suddenly get so excited?
"The code name is ...... Ye, I don't know who it is, I've never heard my family mention this code name. And why would a shadow ninja come to be the ninja in the class? It's still a code name, and it's not even revealing its real name, hiding its head and tail. ”
After Sasuke answered, he also commented casually, it was completely subconscious, and he couldn't tell why this was happening.
But what he didn't expect was that Shiraichi was unusual, completely gave up his previous coldness and indifference, and said to him with a serious face after taking a deep breath, "Please don't say that, Sasuke-san!" We should be respectful of our leader, he is our most important teacher in the future! Please correct this disrespectful thinking! ”
Sasuke opened his mouth, and his little head was filled with big question marks.
You weren't like that before, were you?
Why is that?
