"Okay, that's it for today. All students, pay attention to safety after school and go home early. Well, that's it."

Iruka gave a command to the students in the class, and walked out of the classroom with the textbook she picked up from the desk.

The moment Iruka walked out of the classroom, the class immediately burst into deafening cheers, as if they were relieved from the end of the prison sentence, and everyone's face showed an incomparably relaxed color.

Even Sasuke Uchiha, who was a top student, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike the rest of the people who were relieved, Sasuke thought that he could finally end this boring course. Next, was his extremely important personal training time.

It's not that he looks down on Iruka, but in a place like Ninja School, he really can't learn anything useful.

He has already mastered the three-body technique involved in the graduation exam, and is unmatched among his peers.

And the physical fitness test is also one of the best, except for the tail of a yellow-haired crane that is too mental.

The practical application of physique also ranks first in the grade.

It is no longer necessary for him to continue studying at the ninja school.

Unfortunately, the current Konoha is different from the wartime years ago. Students of the ninja school are strictly required to complete six years of courses before graduating from the ninja school.

This is why Sasuke still needs to study at the ninja school, although the knowledge in the ninja school has no effect on Sasuke.

Looking at the classmates who walked out of the classroom playfully side by side, Sasuke put his indifferent hands in his trouser pockets, which unexpectedly attracted the attention and screams of the girls, and in the sight of some boys, he left the classroom calmly.

Hmph, a bunch of big idiots. Sasuke secretly gave such a definition to the classmates in the class, expressing disdain.

He left the school and walked towards the woods not far from the house. It was the place where he often used to practice, and it was also part of the legacy of the Uchiha family. It was now his private territory, and the village had no right to take it back.

In this way, cultivating here will avoid the distraction of idle people waiting to come over.

As for what the teacher Iruka said to pay attention to safety and to go home early, Sasuke ignored it.

Although he did feel that the atmosphere in the village was a little unusual recently, the adults would occasionally gather together and talk about some more sensitive words, such as war, and in the land of ghosts...

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with a student like him who didn't graduate.

The war is too far away from him.

His only goal now is to improve his strength, kill Uchiha Itachi, and revive the glory of the Uchiha family.

As for other things, they have to come after this.

In a dark place that Sasuke did not know, two Anbu peered at Sasuke through the hidden shade of a tree.

Sasuke's training progress naturally fell into the eyes of Anbu. He recorded everything in detail, picked out the important parts, organized them into information, and reported them to Hokage regularly.

After all, he is the last member of Konoha Uchiha. In the future, Konoha's Uchiha will probably need the other party to restore his prestige.

Anbu, who was in charge of taking care of Sasuke, didn't dare to be careless, but he didn't expose it to Sasuke either.

For Sasuke Uchiha, Hizan's mood has always been a complex mix of fear and expectation.

Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother. Itachi's ninja talent is not just excellent. In the decades since he held the position of Naruto, except for the fourth generation of Megami Feng Minato, he has never seen anyone in the ninja talent. Weasel on a par.

As Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke's ninja talent is naturally not bad. If he gets the proper teaching, his strength will quickly improve by leaps and bounds. Especially under the oppression of a radical mentality like revenge, the opponent will do everything to gain strength.

On the other hand, he is also afraid of Sasuke's growth.

Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

In today's ninja world, two pairs of such eyes have appeared.

One pair belonged to Itachi, whose pupil ability is unknown.

A pair belonged to Uchiha Liuli, with ever-changing pupil skills, close to Lei Dun. However, the specific nature has not been investigated clearly, and the information is still too scarce, let alone the way to deal with it.

The power of the Kaleidoscope Shaker is too powerful.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan also have unpredictable personalities.

Even the dead Shishui only exposed the fact that he had a kaleidoscope writing wheel when he was forced to.

It can be seen that Shishui is not completely loyal to Konoha, but Shishui's kaleidoscope pupil technique can fundamentally change a person's will. Such pupil technique is placed on a Uchiha tribe with unstable factors. For Ye, it is likely to turn into a disaster.

Uchiha ninjas like Itachi who can think from the perspective of the village without hesitation are too few.

Sasuke, who inherits the same blood as Itachi, has the possibility of awakening the Kaleidoscope Shaker in the future.

But, will Sasuke stand firmly on the side of the village like Itachi?

After knowing the truth about the genocide.

No, according to the agreement, Itachi will eliminate this possibility.

But in case, Sasuke finds out the truth...

just in case

Hizan frowned deeply, looking at the information about Sasuke presented by Anbu, Hizan fell into the same hesitation as before.

Because of his hesitation, Danzo had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he directly ordered Itachi to destroy the Uchiha clan, surpassing Hokage's authority, but he also successfully prevented the Konoha civil war from breaking out. From the overall point of view, Danzo is also a hero for stabilizing Konoha's peace.

"Uchiha Sasuke... Uchiha Sasuke..."

With the rise of the country of ghosts, the Uchiha clan also exists in the country of ghosts, and it is impossible to hide this matter from Sasuke for a lifetime.

Because it's not realistic.

Now that he has his orders, even if someone in the village mentions the kingdom of ghosts, they are very secretive about the Uchiha clan of the kingdom of ghosts. The source of the news was temporarily withheld.

But Sasuke will know sooner or later, maybe a year, two years, four years... In short, this kind of thing can't be hidden. It can only be delayed for a while.

What kind of decision will Sasuke make after learning that there are still clansmen left.

For Sasuke, who has lost his clan, revenge has become the only living belief for the other party.

Even if he was nurtured in the will of fire since he was a child, it was inevitable that the other party would not have the idea of leaving Konoha and go to the land of ghosts to seek the true power that belongs to Uchiha.

"Lord Hokage."

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in."

Hizan put away the folder that recorded Sasuke's information, carefully put it in the drawer, and said something to the people outside the door.

The door of the office opened, and Nara Shikahisa, the supervisor of the Jnin squad, walked in from the outside. The other party held a pile of heavy documents in his arms and placed them on Hizen's desk.

"Things have gotten busy again recently."

Looking at the pile of unprocessed documents, Rizhan took a puff of his pipe and frowned.

"No way, the situation in the Land of Rain is changing too fast, and now that the Land of Ghosts is also intervening, the Daimyo side is starting to get anxious."

Lu Jiu sighed.

The current country of fire does not have the power to fight the country of ghosts.

The post-war development of the Third Ninja World War has not yet fully recovered. A few months ago, Konoha also lost a number of elites in the battle of the Kingdom of Wind. If a full-scale war with the Kingdom of Ghosts breaks out, the chance of winning is extremely small.

Ri Zhan opened the top document. Not surprisingly, a considerable part of this pile of documents was about the civil war in the Land of Rain.

"Do you think Konoha should step in now?"

Root's infiltration into the country of rain is a very secret thing. What really disturbed the situation in the country of rain was the ninja troops belonging to the Daimyofu in the country of fire. The roots of Danzo are only responsible for intelligence collection and are not directly involved in combat.

"Anyway, we can't let the country of ghosts underestimate the power of our Konoha."

Lu Jiu thought about it for a while and said so.

At this time, one has to be tougher. Even if it is pretended to be tough, it is necessary to give the countries the appearance that Konoha is still strong, so that some restless countries that covet the country of fire dare not act rashly.

"Deterrence?"

"Yes. The Kingdom of Ghosts also holds the same idea. From the perspective of the other party's layout of the Kingdom of Waves, they do not want to directly break out a war with the big powers, but to conduct proxy wars behind the scenes. Now the Kingdom of Ghosts is stationed in the rain. The same is true for the country.

Proxy War.

That's easy to understand.

Taking small countries as the chessboard, and playing behind-the-scenes games with big countries, the two sides sit firmly behind to prevent the situation from getting completely out of control.

"But we must also hold the idea of launching a full-scale war with a big country. Now doing this is just to make us lose our vigilance."

Ri Zhan said.

After Lu Jiu listened, he nodded earnestly.

Rijian's words are not unreasonable. You can't put the initiative in the hands of the country of ghosts. Even if a full-scale war may not break out, the mobilization and mobilization of materials before the war still needs to be completed.

"First, dispatch 1,500 ninjas to the western border of the land of fire, and show an attitude of marching toward the land of rain. The village is in a pre-war state, and we must make all preparations for the land of ghosts."

"Let's hold a Junin meeting to explain this matter."

Kakashi suggested.

"It will be arranged later."

In the past, the Shangnin meeting was more formal than meaningful, but now with the decline of Naruto's authority, the importance of the Shangnin meeting has also made Hizan pay more attention. Otherwise, it is not so simple to check and balance the power of advisors and roots.

Thinking of this, Hizan couldn't help but miss the past, when White Fang and Sanningu were together.

"By the way, regarding Sasuke Uchiha and Shikahisa, what do you think is a more appropriate arrangement?"

Hizan suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Jiu.

"Uh... this matter..."

To be honest, Shikaku didn't want to be involved in the handling of the Uchiha clan's orphans, because it often meant trouble.

"It's okay, you don't need to be under pressure here."

Hizan hopes that Shikaku will tell the truth.

Lu Jiu sighed, knowing that he couldn't escape.

"Then I'll just say it straight, Hokage-sama. According to my troublesome son, Sasuke Uchiha has basically completed the necessary training at the ninja school, whether it is three-body or physical, compared with his peers. , is undoubtedly at the forefront. If Sasuke Uchiha wants to go further, it doesn't make much sense to continue to stay at the ninja school."

Kakashi replied.

After all, something like theory must be put into practice.

From the idea of cultivating excellent ninjas as a starting point, it is more appropriate to take a more elite private teaching for Sasuke.

After all, his son Nara Shikamaru was the same.

The knowledge in the ninja school is at best only a level of learning. The family's secret ninjutsu is the foundation. In the family, more elite small-class private teaching will be adopted.

Although the establishment of the ninja school has created the so-called 'fairness', this kind of fairness is also relative fairness, not absolute fairness.

What's more, Sasuke has a bloodline limit that most ninjas don't have, and leaving it like this is just a waste of the opponent's talent.

If it was in the past that Shikaku didn't worry, but now the Uchiha clan is exterminated, Sasuke lost all his elders overnight, no one can guide Sasuke how to use his power, and also lost the teaching resources of the Uchiha clan. This is a kind of sadness for the blood follower limit ninja.

Konoha is in urgent need of combat power now. If Sasuke can be trained, he can become a huge help for Konoha in the future.

This is what Shikaku thought.

Rizao began to think about it.

It's not that he couldn't understand Lu Jiu's thoughts, but the truth about the Uchiha clan's genocide is not as simple as the world thinks. It involves the "darkness" of the high-level Konoha, which is something Hizan doesn't want to expose.

He was afraid that sooner or later, Sasuke would realize the truth about the extermination of the clan, and instead of becoming a helper for Konoha, he would become a sharp blade that pierces Konoha's heart.

Sasuke is an avenger.

He is no longer a childish child.

With a deep blood feud, such people are the easiest to go to extremes. In pursuit of power, they are like Orochimaru who left Konoha...

hesitate.

This kind of hesitation appeared in his heart more than once, causing Ri Zhan's mentality to gradually age.

If he were tougher in the face of the Uchiha clan, maybe, the Uchiha clan would turn around.

This is all due to his incompetence and hesitation.

He now regrets his incompetence and hesitation even more than blaming Danzo for the first execution.

After that, Ri Zhan's eyes became firm.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has begun to interfere in the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Rain. These two small countries are adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire. Once the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts enters, it will not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha. .

This kind of pressure is no less than that during the Third Ninja World War. At the same time, the pressure brought by Iwagakushi and Sandyin is small.

His own indecision has brought the Uchiha clan to an end. If he continues to let Konoha go down because of his hesitation, he will have no face when he sees the Hokage of all dynasties in the future.

Besides, he had already decided to pass on the position of Hokage, and before Jiraiya reversed Tsunade's will, he had to leave a stable foundation for Tsunade to prevent Danzo from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

"I see, I will tell Kakashi about this."

Hiyazaki said with determination.

"Kakashi?"

Lu Jiu was taken aback.

"The affairs of the garrison and Anbu have temporarily stabilized, and many things do not need Kakashi to do it himself. Kakashi has experience in the same group with Uchiha ninjas in the past. Compared with most ninjas in the village, he knows Sharotan better. And, when the time is right, I hope to absorb Sasuke into Anbu."

Rijian gave an explanation.

With the guidance of Kakashi, I hope to dispel some of the hatred in the opponent's heart as much as possible, pay attention to the fetters in the village, and pave the way for Sasuke to join Anbu in the future.

Only in this way can he use Sasuke with confidence.

When Tsunade is in the top position, no one is available.

"Is that so?"

Kakashi, the head of Anbu and the acting garrison captain, personally instructed him, and arranged for Sasuke Miku to enter Anbu.

This Hokage-sama has indeed changed a bit from the past.

It's just that this kind of change, the sooner the better.

Now, I hope I can turn the tide.

Lu Jiu sighed in his heart, Konoha missed too many opportunities.

Since the fourth generation came to the throne, the opportunity has been lost. Now to save it, the dual pressures of internal and external, even as the squad leader of Shangnin, are still heavy.

Of course, there's still one thing that Niizhan didn't say.

That is to let Kakashi teach Kakashi, but also to reassure Itachi outside, saying that Konoha will not treat Sasuke badly, and will provide the best quality teaching for his younger brother.

In this way, Itachi will work harder for Konoha.

Even as a rebel, he would die for Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, you really found me a troublesome task."

In the office of the Anbu headquarters building, Kakashi's rather lazy voice sounded.

Hokage's order is absolute.

For ninjas who are accustomed to Anbu, this rule must not be violated. Even the Minister of Anbu cannot violate it.

Therefore, from the moment Hokage gave the order, Kakashi knew that he couldn't be lazy anymore.

After all, he managed to manage the affairs of Anbu and the garrison. As long as the work of the two departments is on the right track, he only needs to deal with a certain amount of documents every day, and then take a walk, read novels, and practice the white-toothed sword technique. Been so happy all the time.

But now I want to teach the orphans of the Konoha Uchiha family one-on-one. It's not that I can't understand Hokage's idea. It's just that I don't have much time to appreciate Jiraiya's new work "Intimacy in Paradise".

Really, it is clearly at a critical moment, and the leisure time may be reduced in the future.

"Just teaching a child, for the minister, it should be a matter of hand."

Standing in Kakashi's office, there was another Anbu ninja, she smiled at Kakashi.

Maoyue Xiyan.

Although she is only an 18-year-old flower girl, she is already a special Joinin in Anbu.

Proficient in Konoha style swordsmanship.

If it was an ordinary Junin who was not careful, he would also be assassinated by her swordsmanship.

He is a swordsman ninja who hides in the shadows and waits for an opportunity to kill him.

Served as a squad leader in Anbu.

He is also one of the important subordinates that Kakashi trusts.

"Um... Who knows, it's a hassle after all."

Kakashi casually said something.

He is not only worried that teaching Sasuke will squeeze his rest time. If the land of ghosts also comes to intervene, then the task of teaching Sasuke cannot be halfhearted.

No, it definitely will.

After all, both of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke does not have the background of betraying the clan like Itachi, and sooner or later will be picked up by the Uchiha clan in the land of ghosts and become a member there.

Now, I just don't want to make things bigger, so I temporarily put Sasuke in Konoha's foster care for a while.

When the right time comes, Sasuke will leave Konoha.

"Don't worry, Tenzo-senpai and I will help the Minister deal with Anbu's affairs. As for the garrison, aren't they already negotiating with the Hinata clan?"

Xiyan smiled.

"Yeah, I still don't know if the Hyuga clan will agree."

Having two jobs, even if Kakashi agreed, Hokage wouldn't think so.

So, Kakashi is just the acting captain of the garrison.

According to Konoha's current form and Hokage's instructions, he hopes to entrust the leadership of the garrison to the Hinata clan for management, and the head of the Hinata clan, Hinata Hizu, will serve as the captain.

It's just that this request was rejected by Hyuga Hizu without hesitation.

Because of fear.

In the past, the guards were in the hands of the Uchiha clan, and their reputation was not very good. If they assumed the duties of the guards, they would be subject to certain pressure from public opinion.

The Hinata clan has a stable position, and there is no need to intervene in the guards.

Originally, Shikahisa Nara was also a good candidate.

Unfortunately, the other party is the squad leader of the Shangnin, and the usual tasks are already heavy, and he can only miss the position of the captain of the garrison.

"When does the minister plan to teach that little son of the Uchiha clan?"

Xiyan asked.

"Let's go back in a few days. Let's finish the affairs here in Anbu. Anyway, there's no rush."

"The minister just wants to finish watching the new movie "Intimacy Paradise"."

"That...ahaha..."

Kakashi scratched his head in embarrassment. It was really embarrassing to be discovered by a female member of the staff.

A **** vendetta.

For Sasuke, the most painful thing is the time when he sleeps every night.

As soon as you close your eyes, the night like a nightmare will come like a tide, swallowing him into the deep sea, as if to suffocate to death.

Therefore, he cultivated harder than anyone else.

No one can stop him from taking revenge.

When others share interests, laugh and communicate, he can only stand alone in another world.

The warm world is too cruel. There is no so-called friendship in the eyes of the Avengers, and there is no need to communicate with others. He just needs to become stronger silently.

Until the traitor Uchiha Itachi was killed.

Only then will the resentment in his heart be quelled.

Standing in the quiet forest, Sasuke grabbed the shuriken.

"Huh..."

He sank into his dantian, and then slowly let out the breath in his body.

Bending down slightly, his body jumped up and turned upside down in the air.

The arm sticks out like lightning, and the shuriken also lashes out, flying towards the target hanging from the tree.

A few slaps passed.

The shuriken all hit the red bullseye without exception.

Sasuke landed on the ground unharmed. Seeing his achievements, a smile appeared on his face~www.mtlnovel.com~ Before he could meet such an achievement, an untimely voice entered his ears:

"Cultivation like this is meaningless, you're just wasting your time, Uchiha boy."

"who?"

Sasuke was startled, looked left and right, but found no one. Then he raised his head and saw a tree on which a target was erected. At some point, a person appeared.

Holding an open book in his hand, he leaned there lazily.

He put his eyes on the tree without squinting, but Sasuke's cultivation process was completely seen by him, and he gave a meaningless evaluation.

"You are"

Sasuke saw the other person's familiar dress, Anbu uniform, with a short knife on his back, as well as a mask and silver-white hair, and confirmed that he had seen this person.

Previously, he commissioned Hokage to find the missing stone tablet of the Uchiha family, and the one who was in charge of investigating the disappearance of the stone tablet was this Anbu subordinate.

There have been several encounters.

"Well, your name is... Kakashi, right?"

Sasuke asked unsurely.

"It's Hatake Kakashi."

Kakashi closed the book, jumped down from the tree, landed in front of Sasuke and stood still, looked at Sasuke with a smile, and said his name.
