Konoha's task master

The two people in the training ground were colliding fiercely, but Yakumo's eyes became darker and darker. He was thinking about the meaning of Keisuke Shimizu's actions.

Deliberately fanning the flames when Sarutobi Asuma loses his composure...what's the point?

Yakumo glanced at the angry Sarutobi Asuma and then started thinking...

wrong!

Sarutobi Asuma is not worthy of anyone else's calculations!

What he really wanted to do was use Sarutobi Asuma's gossip at the dinner table or his complaints during training to sow discord between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo.

This provocation was carried out subtly, constantly strengthening the opposition between Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma, and thus creating a gap between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo.

Precisely because of the subtle influence, this plan became more and more subtle, and Sarutobi Hiruzen would unknowingly become a little dissatisfied with Hatake Sakumo.

The person who designed this plan must know Sarutobi Hiruzen very well. He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was dissatisfied with Hatake Sakumo, and then tried to expand it.

This plan or... What Yakumo saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Multiple plans cooperated with each other and eventually amplified Sarutobi Hiruzen's dissatisfaction, and then made suggestions for him in the name of attacking Hatake Sakumo's reputation... In the end, it was like the original work

Secretly using human words to force White Fang to death.

It is now the thirty-ninth year of Konoha and there are still two full years before White Fang commits suicide and apologizes. This plan with White Fang as the core will last at least two years...

White Fang is blocking Danzo's way.

White Fang is currently the most popular candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and he has obviously become a thorn in Danzo's side... Then it is easy to guess the identity of Keisuke Shimizu...

…root members!

The root member of the two powerful figures in Konoha Village who executes this kind of calculation must be an absolutely loyal root member, and he cannot let the background behind him make it easy to silence him at any time.

"Yakumo...it's your turn."

Masako Mori interrupted Yakumo's wandering thoughts. Apparently Keisuke Shimizu had called his name several times and was staring at Yakumo with a frosty face.

"exist."

Yakumo stood up immediately, his face full of hesitation and worry, as if he was suddenly called on by the teacher while sleeping in class.

"It's your turn to take the stage." Keisuke Shimizu said coldly.

"Come on, come on."

Yakumo hurriedly ran onto the field, and Komoto Kenta had been waiting for a long time.

"Yakumo-san, don't worry, I will use my strength to avoid hurting you." Komoto Kenta scratched his head and said somewhat honestly.

What a good person...

But this time he wasn't prepared to lose.

"Then I will start as gently as possible..."

"Don't hurt you."

"Better the Seal of Opposition."

After the two people completed the seal, they looked at each other for several seconds. Finally, Komoto Kenta couldn't hold back and launched an attack, hitting Yakumo in the abdomen with a straight punch.

Before they were taught how to fight, first-year students fought much like street gangsters, especially since the use of weapons was prohibited in the first-year class, which also made the fighting style of first-year students simpler and rougher.

Punch against punch, foot against foot.

Yakumo turned slightly sideways to avoid Komoto Kenta's fist, and immediately used seven points of strength to lift his legs. The target was also the softest abdomen. As long as he controlled the strength, he could kill the opponent with one blow, leaving only three points of strength.

Deal with attacks and maintain body balance.

The enemy took half a step back to avoid Yakumo's surprise attack. He noticed Yakumo's change, from a random attack without any plan to an attack with opportunity.

Now his agility, strength, and physique are fundamentally different from those ten days ago, and his five senses are also becoming more acute. At this time, he clenched his fists.

As if drawing a circle on the spot, he can catch attacks from any angle and fight them with confidence.

Komoto Kenta punched continuously in an attempt to break through Yakumo's defense with frequent and concentrated attacks. This was a very simple but effective tactic taught in class, but his shortcoming was that it consumed too much energy.

Yakumo positioned himself to avoid the incoming fists as much as possible. If he was not in a hurry to dodge, he would use his arms to block them.

Waiting for work was a stupid way to be passively beaten. He didn't want to expose too much in front of Keisuke Shimizu, who might be a member of the root.

Finally, after a minute, Komoto Kenta's attacks began to become sluggish, and loopholes appeared in the dense fist shadow.

He took this opportunity to launch an attack, and the two struggled for another half minute before Yakumo took the opportunity to trip his opponent and win the test.

"I'm sorry, Kenta-san...I have made some progress while practicing with Kakashi during this period."

But he was not in a good situation. Several places on his arms turned purple and blue. To outsiders, it was definitely a narrow victory or bad luck.

"Jing Yakumo, win!"

"The Seal of Knot and Reconciliation."

The two of them formed seals and separated. From the beginning to the end, Keisuke Shimizu's eyes did not linger too much on Yakumo.

This is good.

"Hiss...but it just hurts a little."

In an academy that cultivates ninjas, fighting is commonplace, and it is normal to get injured. After returning to his seat, Yakumo began to use massage to dissolve the congestion.

The sense of security established these days was gone when he discovered that Keisuke Shimizu might be a root member. Of course, the best result is that all this was his over-interpretation. Keisuke Shimizu...is not a root member.

After everyone completed the test, they returned to the classroom one after another to face the final trial. Keisuke Shimizu stood on the podium and glanced at everyone coldly. The temperature in the room seemed to be constantly decreasing.

"Kakashi's performance is as good as ever. I won't make too many comments here. But Asuma Sarutobi really disappointed me this time. Kakashi has been controlling the rhythm from the beginning. You need to work twice as hard."

Make efforts."

Sarutobi Asuma lowered his head, not knowing whether it was because of shame or anger, but in short, Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma would be competing with each other in the next six years.

Sure enough, Keisuke Shimizu is deliberately creating an atmosphere of opposition between Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma.

"I hope next week you're still so disappointed in me."

Keisuke Shimizu began to conduct an overall analysis of the test, among which the students who were ranked the most talked about it. As for Yakumo, he only received a simple comment about continuing to work hard next time. He was also happy to be a little transparent in Keisuke Shimizu's eyes.

After school, Kakashi, Obito, Harano Lin, Yakumo, and Masako Mori went to the training ground on the 14th to practice. Today, Uchiha Obito was tortured again in the test. He planned to ask Kakashi for advice on how to fight tonight.

, the others were talking and laughing along the way.

Only Yakumo's eyes were dark and incomprehensible. At this time, he had already labeled Kei Shimizu as a root member in his heart, so he had to recalculate what he originally planned to expose on campus.

In the second grade, he will be taught how to throw and use kunai and shuriken. At that time, he will be allowed to use unedged weapons to fight. At that time, he may be able to expose some of his talent in swordsmanship...
