Ninja Ice House

The white Zetsu Ahi (not Uchiha Obito) wearing a whirlpool mask is not very conspicuous on Yuqi Island where there are more and more outsiders.

People from all over the world, various fighters in strange costumes, and disguised ninjas with ulterior motives, while protecting themselves, must also be on guard against possible sneak attacks.

Even if the Gushan family's defenses are very tight, it is still difficult to prevent the daring villain from taking risks.

Even so, after Fei checked other White Zetsus and confirmed that there were no noteworthy strong people around, he felt relieved and said to Uchiha Itachi:

"The organization has not assigned tasks now. Each group is moving freely. The Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara chased Orochimaru to the Kingdom of Wind. They don't know when they will come back. Our group is responsible for the most troublesome ones.

Kyuubi, shouldn’t you go to Konoha Village to investigate the enemy’s situation?”

"Don't bother, I know who the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is. Also, don't test my true intentions in the future, even if it's the leader's instructions. If you don't listen, I'll kill you!"

"I understand, I won't mention this issue anymore."

A Fei quickly changed the topic. Uchiha Itachi's words were not just a threat, but he was really prepared to take action if he disagreed.

Killing his partner wasn't the first time it happened. Kakuzu had done it more than once. Wasn't it good?

What's more, Bai Jue A Fei is just a temporary partner and doesn't even have a ring to symbolize a formal member.

Originally, the leader intended to pair Deidara with Uchiha Itachi, but unfortunately, the blond boy from Iwagakure Village had such a strong dislike for Uchiha Itachi that he was unwilling to do so.

"I heard that the Kirigakure Village is a little unstable, do you want to try your luck? The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are all unruly fools, each one is stupider than the other, and each one is more crazy than the last. Sooner or later, they will be dealt with by the fourth generation of Mizukage.

.Perhaps there are those who are unwilling to join..."

"Mist Hidden Village?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly.

The last time I went on an adventure, I lost Loquat Juuzang, and my barely compatible partner was gone.

Whose turn is it next time?

"I have accurate information. Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, wants to support Terumi Mei. The holder of the Samehada, Suikoyama Fugu Oni, and Momochi Zabuza, who just got the decapitating sword, are a little unconvinced. Onito Mangetsu has been sick for a long time.

, it is said that his life is not long, Yuri Lin went crazy and challenged powerful enemies everywhere, offending many people."

"How do you know these top secrets?"

If the intelligence capabilities of the "Akatsuki" organization are really so efficient, why did Uchiha Itachi and Loquat Juzo go to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den without any preparation last time?

Isn't this a clear deception?

Ah Fei laughed mysteriously and said:

"Someone seemed unwilling to be left alone and took the initiative to contact us, hoping to use our strength to do big things."

"Which one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen can't think of it? Gouju Yagura is just old, not dead. Several so-called masters who became famous through weapons will show off their power in the Kingdom of Water."

"No matter what those guys think, there is always hope. Do you want to go and have a look? Maybe there is a suitable partner! Most of the rebel ninjas in Kirigakure Village are just okay. Those who are not powerful enough have long been killed in the 'blood mist'

Sacrificed."

"talk later."

For Uchiha Itachi, everyone is the same as a partner. Even if Orochimaru comes back and reunites with each other, it's really just that.

In the past, when I was trapped between the Hokage and his father in the Konoha Village, I didn't realize it, but after stepping out of that frame, some things became clear.

The fate of Konoha Village will not change much because of your own choices. It will be more effective to focus on your family.

The news that Uchiha Sasuke is about to come to Yuqi Island is not a secret. The news that the Uchiha orphans are coming to participate in the "King of Fighting" challenge for the youth group is the biggest publicity stunt this year.

This is more eye-catching than the young genius of the Star Ninja Village, the master within the Gusu family, or the rising star of the Iron Country.

Last year's night of genocide was a major event that shocked the ninja world. Even though the heat has not completely subsided, the Uchiha orphans are still very concerned.

At the same time, a luxury cruise ship sailed on the sea, and Mizuki, one of the fourth-grade teachers, became one of the escorted "nannies" instead of Iruka Umino, who couldn't leave.

"Sasuke, I understand how you feel, but if you want to participate in the youth group and the all-age group at the same time, I think you still have to think carefully about it."

"Teacher Mizuki, thank you very much for your warning, but please forgive me for refusing. I practice hard not to defeat a few children, but to...kill that man."

Mizuki, who had had several similar conversations, sighed when he heard this. In his heart, he had already scolded Uchiha Sasuke for not knowing how high the sky was. He still had to maintain the image of a good teacher and helpful friend.

"Okay, if you insist so much, I won't be able to persuade you for a long time. However, in order to protect you from harm, there will be a more formal discussion after going to the island. In principle, the Fang Gushan family does not agree to organize the ninja school.

Graduates participated in competitions for all age groups. However, in the end, an opening was opened."

Mizuki said with a helpless attitude and explained,

"I wrote to Major Governor Gushan many times to explain the matter, and then the adult decided to set up a 'gatekeeper'. The well-deserved geniuses of the previous youth group, and the young masters who have also proven their strength in the adult group, will assess you.

The strength of the 'gatekeepers' is similar in age, no more than three years old at most, but their strength is obviously higher. If you can get their approval, you can participate in the all-age group..."

There is no such thing as communication and negotiation with Furugi Bushui. Ever since Uchiha Sasuke and others' "irresponsible ideas" were raised, Fushigushui has also thought of some countermeasures. The strength and luck of Uchiha Sasuke and others

If you're good, you might be able to pick a weak chicken and be eliminated after two or three games, but you won't be able to go far at all.

Instead of doing this, it is better to see how talented the children in the youth group are who are not far apart in age.

Opening an opening does not mean opening up the door, but allowing them to retreat in spite of difficulties.

Not to mention Kaguya Kimimaro, even Toudou Kasumi and Kusanagi Kyo are currently much stronger than these immature students. It is not easy to be recognized.

"Recognition? What counts as recognition?"

Mizuki smiled slightly:

"If you win, it is naturally irrefutable. If you lose, it does not mean that you have no chance, but you will most likely be disqualified from the competition in all age groups. You have to understand that those who enter the semi-finals have gone through hard battles from various competition regions around the world.

For those of you who stand out later, you just skip the audition and compete, which is not fair to others."

"I understand. If you win, you will naturally pass the test."

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke looking so confident, Mizuki couldn't help but smile and said:

"To put it bluntly, with my strength and my best efforts, I can't guarantee that I can pass the baptism of the semi-finals and reach the finals. How big a gap do you think you have compared to me, teacher?"

"Is it so difficult?"

"The ninja world is very big and there are many masters. Although there are many geniuses in Konoha Village, it may not be able to ignore the masters from the outside world."

"I see."

Even though he understood the difficulties, Uchiha Sasuke still didn't want to give up easily. No matter what, Uchiha Sasuke also really wanted to see a master who even Mizuki-sensei must treat with caution.

Mizuki turned away, cursed a few words in a low voice through gritted teeth, and left in a bad mood.

Looking at the hazy island in the distance, Uchiha Sasuke blew the sea breeze on the side of the ship for a while before returning to the student dormitory. Hyuga Neji walked over. Uchiha Sasuke temporarily ignored the chief student of the first grade.

No interest.

When the two were about to pass each other, Hyuga Neji suddenly stopped Uchiha Sasuke.

"You must be the top student in the fourth grade. You finally managed to beat that girl. Now that you are away from home, you must work hard and not embarrass the village."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke turned his head with a cold expression.

"Are you talking to me?"

"You have quite a temper. I advise you not to be too proud. The reputation of Konoha Village needs us to maintain it."

"Really."

Uchiha Sasuke sneered playfully and responded,

"I heard that a few days ago you challenged Bai, who is a freshman in your senior year, and lost. So you want to find a sense of superiority in me? I'm only one year older. If you want to show the majesty of your senior in front of your juniors, what are you looking for?

Wrong person."

"Who told you that I lost?"

"Isn't it? As far as I know, Bai didn't lose."

"Surface. You...just take care of yourself. You'll be there soon. Don't be embarrassed."

Hinata Neji said and left coldly.

Watching Hinata Neji walk away, Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath and encouraged himself secretly.

It took more than three years to finally regain the position of the top student in the grade. After setting my sights on a wider stage, I realized that there were still so many obstacles in the way.

Not to mention approaching Uchiha Itachi, masters of the same age who are not very famous but not weak in strength are constantly emerging, which puts a lot more pressure on Uchiha Sasuke.

Returning to the room, he saw Inuzuka Kiba who was sleeping on the lower bunk talking and exchanging feelings with Akamaru who was a little seasick. He didn't pay attention to the other party. Uchiha Sasuke climbed to the upper bunk by himself, lay down and closed his eyes to rest in order to cope with what was about to come.

challenge.訋

I don't know how much time passed, but Uchiha Sasuke, who felt a little hungry, was going to the restaurant to eat early when he saw Mr. Mizuki informing the Konoha team one by one to pack their things and prepare to disembark.

"arrive?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked involuntarily, and Inuzuka Kiba, who had also just received the news, replied:

"Probably, not long ago I went out to buy snacks and saw that we were about to dock."

The young man who spoke raised his head and asked his classmates,

"Aren't you nervous? It's the first time for everyone to walk such a long way..."

"What's there to worry about? This is Xianglin's home. She has been there many times. What problems could there be?"

"Right."

Speaking of Korin, Inuzuka Kiba had very complicated feelings towards this girl who he had a fight with just after entering the first grade.

Her mother and sister really wanted to have a good relationship with Kaoru, but Inuzuka Kiba's heart was not willing to get along with such a scheming and difficult female classmate.

Be careful, Inuzuka Kiba is no match for Kaoru, he will be at a disadvantage in learning, and he can't even beat him in a fight.

For boys, such a strong female classmate is really daunting.

"Having said that, I still hope you can beat her. It's quite shameful for us to always have a girl on top of us. Ino's ridicule is too ugly."

"I... didn't work hard to win him just for your sake."

"I know, I know. Even though I don't say it verbally, many boys still support you. Only that idiot Naruto shouted loudly to encourage Xiang Rin."

In fact, the last practical class was just a tie. In the recent competitions, Xiang Rin did not win even once, but Uchiha Sasuke did not win completely. Every battle was thrilling and he almost lost.

It's not that Uchiha Sasuke doesn't try his best, but that Xiang Rin's resilience is too strong. If it were a life and death fight, Uchiha Sasuke even felt that he might lose.

In terms of desire to win, Xiang Rin was obviously weaker. Sasuke Uchiha, who was going all out, tried his best, but could not widen the gap, which really made this young man who was determined to revenge a little bit unable to calm down.

Uchiha Itachi graduated from the Ninja School at the age of seven, opened his Sharingan at the age of eight, joined the ANBU at the age of eleven, and at the age of thirteen, he collaborated with foreign enemies, killed his entire family and defected.

There are still more than three months left, and Uchiha Sasuke will be ten years old. He has not yet left the ninja school, and there is no hope of opening the Sharingan (in his own opinion). It is so difficult to become the top student of the age, let alone dominate the chunin exam.

Compared with Uchiha Itachi of the same period, Uchiha Sasuke is much inferior.

He couldn't help but not be anxious.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't pay attention to the disputes between children. While cleaning up, he asked Inuzuka Kiba:

"Have you seen Xiang Lin recently? Have you asked her for information about Yuqi Island and the 'King of Fighting'?"

"How could I possibly tell her this?"

"Aren't you familiar with her? We often talk to her in class..."

"I think you should take a good look at your eyes to see if you are blind, or check if there is any problem with your brain nerves. We were quarreling. How did you know that I have a good relationship with her?"

"If the relationship is not good enough, we can't even quarrel. Ignoring it is much more alienating than having conflicts."

Uchiha Sasuke seemed a little emotional, and said with loneliness in his tone,

"Have you seen Xianglin quarreling with many people?"

"That's right."

After thinking for a while, Inuzuka Kiba responded:

"What you said makes sense. My mother and sister often hit me in the face with their iron fists, but they care about me very much."

"Cherish it."

After packing up his ninja bag and picking up his backpack, Uchiha Sasuke walked out of the hatch, his back a little forlorn.

"Wait for me."

After reacting, Inuzuka Kiba quickly followed,

"I used to think you were a very stinky guy, but I didn't expect you to be quite easy to talk to."

"That's your illusion. Don't disturb my practice in the future, and don't fight with the ninja dog early in the morning..."

"I know, I know, it's really troublesome."

Xianglin, who was walking at the front of the team, felt really indescribable. It was supposed to be an activity similar to a summer camp or an autumn outing, but in the end, the destination was her own home.
