Escape From Konoha Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Four Sides (2)

beep beep—

The alarm clock rang in the dimly lit room, and through the gaps in the curtains, only a hazy light could be seen. It should be some time before full daylight.

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

Habitually stretched out his hand and pressed the alarm switch, and the room returned to silence.

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

Waiting for the clothes to be put on, the man walked to the mirror in the closet and carefully looked at his image at the moment.

Shoulder-length water-blue hair, handsome face, calm but sharp eyes, but then under the subconscious adjustment, the sharp color in the eyes disappeared, and turned into a soft and friendly meaning.

But this posture didn't last long. The man seemed to have noticed something, took out the kunai from the ninja bag, turned around and pointed the kunai in his hand to the corner of the room.

I don't know when there was a young man who was a few years younger than himself.

The young man wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses, with a quiet and friendly demeanor, with a slight smile on his face, standing there motionless and staring at him.

"It's you, Dou. What's the matter here so early in the morning?"

After the man recognized the identity of the person, although he put down his palm, he did not put away the kunai in his hand. He was obviously wary of this young man with glasses.

"Don't be so indifferent, I just came here to express my condolences to you according to the order of Oshemaru-sama. Today's arrangement, you are all right, Mizuki?"

Call out the man's name.

Konoha Chunin, currently working in Konoha Ninja School, is an elite teacher.

As if feeling the distrust in Dou's tone, Mizuki frowned quickly and said, “If you don't believe me, you can take over my task at any time. I don't feel safe working with someone like you.”

"Don't get me wrong, we all do things for Oshemaru-sama, and most of the time we can't help ourselves. Moreover, this matter is very important to Oshemaru-sama. You are the most suitable candidate."

said with a smile.

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

"Knowing that you are being watched by Anbu, you dare to act so boldly. As Master Orochimaru said, you are a guy who likes to seek wealth in danger. However, I also remind you, don't even think about betraying Master Orochimaru, otherwise you will understand what will happen to you."

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

Mizuki looked at Tou with a sneer.

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

Chick!

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

Mizuki appeared in front of Dou, with a few hairs falling down.

Facing Kunai on his neck, Kazuo looked at Mizuki indifferently.

"Sorry, I didn't mean any malice, I just don't want you to do some unnecessary things, and finally implicate the people you value."

Dou looked at the cold killing intent hidden in Mizuki's eyes, and said these words in a flat tone.

"This kind of words are not like what you should say."

Mizuki said coldly.

"Even spies like us who rely on deception to survive, there are still things in their hearts that they are not allowed to desecrate. I can understand your situation very well, because I have lost it, so for me now, Master Orochimaru is everything."

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

Mizuki seemed to see through Dou's potential intentions, and secretly sneered in his heart.

"That's a shame."

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of the nose, the smile in the eyes disappeared, turned into indifference, and looked at Mizuki.

Solicitation failed. He thought to himself.

However, this is to be expected.

It's just a pity to lose such a good chess piece.

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

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

Whether it is coercion or playing the emotional card, it seems that the effect is not very great.

We can only wait for opportunities to arise in the future.

After all, under Orochimaru, there are too many people who want to challenge his status, and they have worked hard for Orochimaru.

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

This may be the charm of Oshemaru-sama. Doudou couldn't help showing a smile.

Just a word or deed is enough to make people crazy to work for it.

The fanatical attitude of abandoning worldly habits and pursuing longevity and truth makes people want to rely on it.

"There is nothing else, hurry up and get out, before I can restrain my killing intent on you."

Mizuki put down Kunai, turned around, with an indifferent attitude.

"Okay, then I wish you good luck, and don't forget to put the things in the designated place when the time comes. You should know the consequences of mission failure. That curse mark is a double-edged sword, it will enhance the power you have been longing for, but it will also kill you."

Dou took a deep look at Mizuki's back, made seals with his hands, and disappeared into Mizuki's room in a cloud of white smoke.

"What a nasty guy..."

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

Being in the big dye vat of Konoha, I was already very tired.

As a result, he has to constantly compete with his 'peers'. Even he would have the idea of abandoning all distracting thoughts, emptying his head and relaxing.

"Also, this curse seal is neither the curse seal of the sky nor the curse seal of the earth. This is the limit of my ability."

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

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

If the quality is very high, it will be bestowed with two seals of heaven and earth.

If the quality is low, it will be given a semi-finished product with a mediocre boost ability and a curse seal with strong sequelae.

Unfortunately, he is exactly the kind of ninja with very low talent.

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

Whenever I see a gifted student in school, I can't help but feel jealous. Why is my talent so useless? There is neither family secrets nor blood succession boundaries...

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

Some of it comes down to luck, some of it comes down to human effort.

"well…"

Sentimentality is not my style.

Mizuki has always been sober, what is he longing for.

Get ahead and become the best.

For this reason, he keeps climbing up. Even if he is jealous, hates geniuses, or is greedy for vanity, he just wants to climb up.

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

He enjoys the feeling of being supported.

Whether it is Konoha or Orochimaru, they will only be stepping stones on his way to promotion!

At this moment, Mizuki's heart was firmer than ever before!

"Good morning, Iruka."

"Good morning, Mizuki."

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Mizuki came to the office where he was at the Ninja School, and found that Iruka had arrived early and was reading some student materials there. Probably worried about the students who had their graduation exams this morning.

So Mizuki came up to say hello.

Iruka is one of his few good acquaintances, but unlike him who is not satisfied with the status quo, Iruka seems to be very keen on the job of a teacher. Compared with other seemingly good people, Iruka is more loved by his colleagues and students in the school.

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

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

In the past too.

Obviously weaker than him, but in every rating test, the score he got was higher than himself.

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

For a long time, Mizuki began to doubt himself whether he was not good enough in some aspects.

Jealousy was his motivation for promotion.

He wants to be a superior person, even if his talent is only average, but he also wants to enjoy the glorious moment that everyone is looking forward to, stand out, and take action for it.

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

Perhaps, I was born a despicable person.

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

Jealousy, envy, desire, and hatred!

But he will not show these things on the bright side. Mature people should learn to control their emotions.

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

"Are you busy with the students' affairs?"

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

Iruka sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not worried about the other students, but Naruto...Although I accepted Mizuki's suggestion, I gave Naruto extra tutoring last night, but the effect was still not good. He is still not very good at using ninjutsu. And this year's graduation test is transformation..."

In other words, Naruto, who has a very poor score in ninjutsu, has already been sentenced to death in this year's graduation exam.

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

Mizuki strives to be what a teacher should be.

Although he doesn't like Naruto's bad student who relies on pranks to attract the attention of others.

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

Also, he thinks some things can be opened up.

Unfortunately, thinking of the particularity of Naruto's identity, Mizuki also knew that this might be the only choice Naruto had to make.

It was obviously Renzhuli, but in the end, I was the only one who was concealed. Although not everyone in the village knew about it, except for children, all the adults were insiders.

Then what's the point of such a concealment?

Anyway, Mizuki doesn't quite understand what that Hokage-sama is up to.

"Hopefully."

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

It is too difficult for Naruto to transform overnight.

Iruka is pessimistic about Naruto's ability to graduate smoothly.

"Iruka, Mizuki, come over for a meeting. In half an hour, the exam time will come."

A bald man in his fifties came to the door of the office and shouted at Iruka and Mizuki who were talking about something.

Because of the graduation exam, the school start time is delayed today. The sixth grade students only need to arrive at the corresponding classroom before nine o'clock.

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

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

Mizuki nodded.

This bald man over fifty years old is his and Iruka's immediate superior—Fujimura Taiga.

A senior elite teacher who has worked in the ninja school for thirty years, he and Iruka can be regarded as the guide in the school.

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

After all, being able to teach three extremely terrifying S-rank rebels, whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, it also shows the extraordinaryness of each other.

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

"Today's graduation test question is the avatar technique. As long as two complete avatars can be summoned, it will be considered as passing the test. Well, other teachers will come over later, in charge of order, and call names in order. Students whose names are called, go to the next classroom to take the exam. Students whose names are not called, please wait quietly in the class."

After the meeting, Iruka walked into the class and explained the content of today's test and the order of the graduation test.

Then he secretly glanced at Naruto who was holding his head in distress, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything in the classroom. If Naruto's ability is not good enough, let him pass the graduation exam. Doing so will only harm Naruto.

Iruka can't do this kind of thing.

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

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

Mastering the Three Body Art is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say simple.

For most students, such a test is no different from sending sub-questions.

But for a small number of poor students, avatar is not a basic ninjutsu that can be mastered so easily.

"What a boring exam."

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

But Sasuke had expected this kind of thing.

The exercises I usually do are also related to Sanshenshu. Other than that, it is the application of Taijutsu and shuriken.

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

Compared to this, Sasuke cares more about who his future team members are.

He inspected all the classmates in the classroom, and has already begun to estimate which two people will form a team with him.

First rule out the end of a certain Wannian crane.

Let's not talk about whether the opponent can successfully pass the graduation test, even if he can pass this test, with the opponent's ability, it is impossible to be in the same team as himself.

Compared to this kind of crane tail, he hopes that the teammates in the team are the elites in the same class.

Sasuke glanced back and forth among the 'elites' in his class, trying to figure out which two of them would become his teammates.

"Have you started looking for teammates so early? Sasuke is still so realistic."

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

During the ninja period, there will be regular teachers and teammates. For the students, you can know this kind of thing after a little inquiry.

Moreover, after following him for several years, Sasuke knew more information than ordinary students under the influence of years of experience.

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

For a student with outstanding abilities like him, his own strength is enough, so he doesn't really hope that his teammates are here to hold him back.

Because the other party needs revenge.

Sasuke will not put his extra energy on taking care of others.

Kakashi is well aware of this.

"This also shows the excellence of Sasuke. After your teaching, his strength is already significantly higher than that of his peers."

Hirizhan smiled with satisfaction.

The stronger Sasuke is, the more obvious the potential benefits to Konoha.

The only difficulty lies in the kingdom of ghosts.

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

Because of this, he arranged for Kakashi to talk to Sasuke and gain his trust.

The purpose is to prevent this day from coming.

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

Also because Sasuke will grow up one day, his vision will gradually see the outside world.

The matter of the ghost country will not be hidden at all.

Especially, Oni no Kuni intends to join forces with the rest of the big ninja villages to hold a joint Chunin exam this year. At that time, with Sasuke's temperament, he will definitely sign up for it.

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

Perhaps, this is a good opportunity to test whether Sasuke can remain loyal to Konoha.

As for the grievances between the Uchiha clan and the high-level, this secret will always be deposited in the endless abyss.

He believes Itachi will definitely arrange this matter.

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

"It's because he is too obsessed with revenge. Even without my teaching, he will do everything possible to become stronger."

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

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

When the students of the same age were still enjoying their childhood, the other party had to harbor hatred. They were frightened by nightmares every day and covered in cold sweat, and their mentality had already changed.

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

As for Sasuke, I am afraid that he can quickly adapt to killing people.

"In any case, you still need to be responsible for Sasuke's later teaching."

Ri Zhan means something.

Among Konoha, only Kakashi can stabilize Sasuke's mood.

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

This is also a promise to Itachi.

For Konoha, he can also harvest a powerful Sharingan ninja.

To deal with the Uchiha clan in the kingdom of ghosts, you need to use Sasuke's ability.

Only Sharingan can deal with Sharingan better.

If you can open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, you will have greater confidence in dealing with the ghost country.

"The work of Anbu..."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, although enough nails had already been buried in Anbu.

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

Thinking about it carefully, since the Fourth Hokage came to power thirteen years ago, he has been working in Anbu.

In Anbu, he can be regarded as a senior figure.

Now it is a very long-lost experience for Kakashi to leave all this behind and walk under the sun.

I remembered some past events of following the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato in the past.

"There is no need to completely hand over to others. Some decisions still need to be made by you, the minister. Some trivial matters can be handled by Tianzang."

Ri Zhan said.

"I see. If Tianzang, then there is no problem."

The other party is a staunch supporter of the will of fire, and also possesses the limit of the wood escape blood inheritance, and is one of the few diehard confidantes.

As a high-ranking person, he will not tie all the power of Anbu to one person.

He, the Minister of Anbu, got it by accident.

Tianzang is the best person to share his power.

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

Kakashi already knew that this day would come. This has nothing to do with trust, but the decentralization of power, so as to better balance the power in the hands of his subordinates.

According to their conversation, the school's graduation exam has reached a critical time.

The picture shown in the crystal ball is the scene where Naruto stood in the classroom for the graduation exam with an uneasy face under the serious gaze of several examiners such as Iruka and Mizuki.

It can be seen that Naruto does not have the slightest confidence in the next assessment of the avatar technique.

He made the imprints in the order of the avatar technique, and with a bang, a pale and wilted avatar appeared next to him, lying on the ground like a dead fish.

Hizan slightly lowered the hat on his head.

Kakashi also looked away.

Several examiners in the crystal ball had black lines on their heads.

Although they had already expected that Naruto's ability would make it difficult to pass this exam, but such a bad avatar technique simply refreshed their lower limit cognition of avatar technique.

No comment on the worse of the past.

Although they didn't say it clearly, the eyes of the examiners expressed such meaning.

"Sure enough, it would be better to wait until next year for the assessment."

After a long time, Kakashi said such words.

One Sasuke is enough trouble, if Nine Tails Jinchuriki is added, his work pressure will undoubtedly be even greater.

Hizhan did not express his position on Naruto's matter, but said: "Next, keep an eye on Mizuki, he will definitely take action against Naruto in the future, and then follow this line to find the instigator 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 his figure disappeared from Hizan.
