Chapter 519 Illusion

monitoring room.

The screens basically covered the corners of the entire room. There were seven masked Anbu ninjas staying in the monitoring room, staring at the screen without blinking, trying to find something unusual.

However, they have been working here for about a hundred hours, and they still haven't been able to find any valuable information from the screen.

On the screen in the middle, there is a deep environment picture, and a huge iron gate separates the inside from the outside world, which is the headquarters of Root.

It is also the focus of the Anbu's current surveillance location.

The rest of the locations, such as the remaining strongholds with roots in Konoha, were also monitored to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Not long after, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open, and Kakashi walked in from the outside.

Not wearing Anbu's costume, but Konoha Jami's costume.

"Minister."

The Anbu ninjas inside greeted Kakashi one after another.

"I just came to see, how is it, what's the matter, Tianzang?"

Kakashi looked at one of the Anbu ninjas and called out his name.

"Nothing has been discovered for the time being, and the people at the root have been very honest during this time."

Tianzang took off his mask and sighed lightly, as if he was disappointed by the result.

The transfer of the position of Naruto, it is impossible that the root did not get some rumors, but after getting these winds, the people in the root were so calm, giving people the feeling that they were holding back some terrible killer moves.

This kind of calm, in Tianzang's view, is not a good thing.

The current Konoha can no longer stand the toss.

As a high-ranking member of Anbu, he doesn't want Genbu to disturb the order of the village at this critical moment, and cause any accidents in the handover ceremony of the Fifth Hokage.

It is true that the root leader Danzo Elder is very courageous, and he also made many contributions to Konoha during the Ninja War in the past.

However, Tianzang didn't think that the other party was competent for the job of Hokage.

If the situation develops into that situation, it may be very bad.

"Master Hokage is very worried about the situation here, if possible, increase the scope of surveillance."

Kakashi said.

"Probably not. This is already the largest monitoring range that Anbu can achieve. Even if it is compared to the scale when monitoring the Uchiha clan, it is not much worse."

Tianzang replied.

Now Anbu's level of monitoring of the root, he can't help but recall the huge surveillance operation of Anbu against the Uchiha clan a few years ago.

The monitoring levels of the two are almost the same, both of which are the highest level, and more than half of the Anbu is almost devoted to this operation.

This level of monitoring shows how vigilant the top is to the roots, and cannot be ignored.

Kakashi nodded, he looked up at the surveillance images on the surrounding screens, and quickly scanned them.

"Speaking of which, the minister will join the action next time, right?"

Tianzang asked.

"Yeah, but it's only for the time being, and it will be taken out later. It's not sure when it will officially come back."

Kakashi has no need to hide.

"I thought, Minister, your job of guiding the Jonin is over."

Tianzang said regretfully.

After all, if Kakashi comes back, the pressure on him will be relieved a lot. He was a little bit in a hurry to deal with Anbu's work by himself.

"How is it possible, no matter what, at least wait for them to be alone."

Kakashi shook his head.

"Being alone..."

Tianzang felt a little bit emotional.

In this way, Kakashi's work of guiding the top ninja will not be over until at least the three lower ninjas of the seventh class become zhongnin.

Otherwise, Xia Nin can't be said to be alone, at most he is a rookie.

It's okay in terms of strength, but if there is a defect in the brain, it will be a bit tricky. After all, Chunin's eligibility criteria are not only based on strength alone, but also the extremely important leadership ability, as well as basic intelligence collection and transmission capabilities must also meet the minimum standards.

"Take your time, I'll leave it to you here, I have to go over and make some arrangements before I can get back to work."

"It's okay, anyway, we are watching here, so there won't be any problems for a while."

Tianzang nodded and promised earnestly.

Kakashi patted Tenzo on the shoulder, turned and left the monitoring room without saying anything.

The sky was cloudy, and although it wasn't raining, there was no sunshine either.

In an open space in a park not far from the downtown area, members of the seventh class meet here.

"Yo, how are you three resting these days?"

Seeing the three familiar young faces, Kakashi was rarely late on purpose, and greeted the three of them.

"That's needless to say, the body has already started to rust. Kakashi-sensei, let's go to Grandpa Hokage to accept the task!"

Naruto said energetically, very excited.

Obviously, just resting for the past few days has left him with nowhere to vent his excess energy, and he has long thought about continuing to flex his muscles.

Sasuke snorted softly, he also had the same idea.

He has almost recovered from the injuries suffered by Itachi, and he is ready to take on the mission at any time.

"It's a good thing to be motivated, but I may not have time to accompany you in the future."

Kakashi looked at the three and said.

"Why?"

Not only Naruto blinked in doubt, but Sakura also looked at Kakashi in confusion.

Only Sasuke seemed to think of something, and frowned.

"There are not so many whys. After all, I also have my own things to do. Also, there is one more thing to congratulate."

"Congratulations?"

"Yes, congratulations to Sasuke for becoming a Chunin."

Kakashi smiled and took out Hokage's official letter of appointment from his ninja bag.

"What, what, Chunin!?"

Naruto widened his eyes in astonishment, looked at him with disbelief and was slightly surprised, and then Sasuke, who calmed down, cried out.

"Sasuke...has become a Chunin?"

Sakura's eyes were filled with surprise, and the eyes she looked at Sasuke became even more charming.

Became a Chunin just half a year after graduation, which is very rare in the village.

"Then, what about me?"

Naruto asked hastily.

"Of course I lost the election."

Kakashi put the appointment letter in his assistant, and said to Naruto without hesitation.

Naruto looked dissatisfied, and seemed to want to say something, but Kakashi interrupted: "You failed the previous test results, and the basics are too poor. Next, I will give you this, so you can study hard."

As he spoke, Kakashi took out a heavy book from nowhere and placed it solemnly in front of Naruto.

"What's this?"

Naruto took the heavy book in a daze, forgetting the words for a moment.

"About the basic knowledge of ninjas and basic theoretical knowledge, if you want to become an excellent Hokage, this is something you must learn."

Kakashi stroked Naruto's head and said softly.

Naruto was still slightly dissatisfied, but no matter how unwilling he was, he still nodded, looking a little disappointed.

"Next, work hard. In addition, recently I have some things to leave for a while. During this period, Master Naruto will arrange another Jonin to guide you."

"Another Junin? Who is it?"

Naruto picked up his mood, and quickly walked out of the depression of Sasuke's promotion to Chunin, and raised his head and asked.

Kakashi turned his body to one side, just as someone was walking towards him.

is an adult male about the same age as Kakashi.

A black tight-fitting ninja suit, a black turban on his hair, and a pair of sunglasses on his face, giving people a simple and capable impression.

"it's me."

"ah!"

Naruto seemed to recognize the other party's identity, pointing at this Konoha Kamijino who suddenly appeared, speechless.

"Do you know Ebisu Jonin, Naruto?"

Kakashi was surprised when he saw Naruto's reaction.

"Of course, he's been defeated by my seduction techniques before, and I've been in the bookstore more than once and I've sneaked him to buy thoseuh!"

In the middle of Naruto's words, Ebisu rushed forward and covered his mouth.

"Afterwards, please have a meal of ramen, and don't tell me about me!"

Ebisu said with a smile on his face, sticking to Naruto's ear.

He doesn't want his glorious past to be known by his colleagues and lovely juniors.

"Ten meals!"

Naruto opened his mouth wide open.

"No, three meals at most, don't get too complacent, brat!"

"make a deal."

After the whispered exchange, a dirty deal also came to an end.

Seeing Naruto and Ebisu whispering there, the other three were puzzled.

It seems that the relationship between the two of them seems to be quite good.

"Do the two know each other?"

Kakashi asked again.

"Hahaha, how should I put it, that is really a bad relationship."

Slapping Naruto on the back vigorously, Ebisu laughed exaggeratedly, leaving Naruto speechless.

Actually, he and Ebisu are not very familiar, it can only be regarded as the degree of acquaintance.

But he understands this, this guy is a pervert who is not inferior to a lecherous fairy.

Unable to understand what was going on inside, Kakashi didn't care, so he said, "Then, during this period, I'll leave it to you, Ebisu."

"Don't worry, the three of them will be left to me to arrange. Anyway, Young Master Sun is also busy with homework recently, and I happen to be free here."

Ebisu nodded in agreement.

"Master Sun?"

Sasuke seemed interested.

"It's Konoha Maru."

Naruto replied.

"Konohamaru...I remember that is the grandson of Hokage-sama."

Sasuke thought of something, and the face of a naughty kid emerged.

He knew that the Third Hokage had a grandson named Konoha Maru, who was a very naughty child.

"That's right, I'm the tutor of Young Master Sun Konohamaru, and I'm also a special jonin in the village who is proficient in education."

Ebisu pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a proud tone.

"Are there Jonin with this ability?"

Sasuke was surprised.

He knew that, strictly speaking, Jnin is a product between Chunin and Jnin.

To put it simply, a Chunin with a particularly outstanding ability can be promoted to a Special Jonin.

But it was the first time he had heard of Jonin who had outstanding educational abilities.

"That's the thing. Ebisu Jonnin's education ability in the village can be said to be among the best. In this respect, even I am slightly inferior. You must be obedient."

Kakashi added a sentence.

Can't see it at all.

This is the common thought of the three of Sasuke.

The three of them are deeply aware of Kakashi's ability, and because of this, they can't imagine that there is a Jonin who is better at educating Kakashi than Kakashi.

However, even if they suspected it, Kakashi only temporarily handed over the task of team leader of the seventh class to Ebisu, and then left in a hurry.

Anbu still has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to waste here.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is Kakashi-sensei going to do to leave so suddenly..."

Naruto looked curious.

"Maybe something happened to Anbu. However, this has nothing to do with you. Next, you should accept my special training."

Ebisu interrupted the contemplation of the three of them, bringing them back to their senses.

"I don't need it, even if I am alone, I can practice."

Without waiting for Ebisu to start working, Sasuke rejected Ebisu's request, walked away quickly, and went to practice alone.

In his opinion, a special Jnin with low strength like Ebisu can't teach him anything useful at all.

On Ebisu, he didn't feel invincible oppression. Although he might not be able to win one-on-one, he was just a very weak jonin after all.

With this time, he can complete the cultivation by himself, without Ebisu's help.

"Damn it! Still can't do it... If it goes on like this, it's not that guy's opponent at all..."

In a clearing in the woods, there were potholes everywhere, as well as traces of burning flames and lightning strikes. Sasuke stood panting in the middle of the clearing, dissipating the lightning from his hands, feeling that he was still missing something.

Especially not long ago, after seeing Itachi again, he became more and more dissatisfied with his current strength.

Even with Orochimaru's curse mark, in front of Itachi, there is no power to fight back.

Not only that, the illusion that instantly controlled his mind... Sasuke shuddered when he thought about it.

Sasuke understands that he not only needs to make breakthroughs in ninjutsu and physical arts, but also strives for excellence in illusion to make greater breakthroughs.

Because his taijutsu and ninjutsu have temporarily reached a bottleneck, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. His only shortcoming now is illusion.

As long as the ability of illusion is improved, his strength can leap forward.

Otherwise, next time it will still be played by Itachi's illusion.

Besides, next time he might not be so lucky to retreat safely.

However, it is not so easy to make a breakthrough in illusion.

Especially the illusion of Sharingan, among Konoha, there is no one who has Sharingan except him.

In this case, I can only settle for the next best thing and find Jonin who is proficient in illusion to help me.

The first thing Sasuke thought of was Yuhi Kurenai.

Although the opponent's illusion skills are not as good as Itachi's, but the opponent is undoubtedly a jonin who is good at illusion, which can save him many detours in illusion.

It's just... the other party is not the instructor of the seventh class, Jonin, and he only said a few words before. Instructing illusion does not happen overnight. If you ask others in the past, even Sasuke will feel impolite.

In addition, among the junin he knew, he couldn't find a second junin who was good at illusion.

Sasuke rubbed his forehead with a headache. Since he couldn't find a genjutsu jounin to teach him for the time being, he could only continue to practice ninjutsu and taijutsu, and he couldn't waste time.

As for the illusion, let's wait until we find a suitable jonin.

At this moment, footsteps came from my ears.

Sasuke turned his head to look, his expression startled.

"It's you."

The person who came was none other than Ebisu.

"I've already dealt with Naruto and Sakura, and the only thing left is you, Uchiha Sasuke."

Ebisu smiled and said, seemingly not noticing the dissatisfaction in Sasuke's eyes.

Maybe it's because I think it's a waste of time to follow him to practice.

And Sasuke was surprised by Ebisu's words, forget about Sakura, Naruto is quite difficult to deal with.

But, less than two hours after he left...has he won Naruto's approval?

Or are you bragging?

"I said no, I will take care of my own affairs."

Between the lines - you are useless to me.

Although this kind of words sound a bit hurtful, this is exactly what Sasuke expressed.

"Actually, I don't really like to teach you this kind of arrogant brat, but there is no way, this is the request of Master Naruto and Kakashi, so I reluctantly come here to guide you."

Ebisu said so.

"I'm really sorry, please reject their kindness for me."

Sasuke's tone was calm.

"Impossible, everyone says this is a mission. If you can't get you to accept my guidance, then the mission is tantamount to failure. This is quite a blow to me as an elite teacher."

Sasuke fell silent, the dissatisfaction on his face was beyond words.

"That's good, let's have a practical exercise. If I accidentally win, how about you accept my guidance?"

Ebisu suggested.

"It's a waste of time. However, it's not bad to accumulate experience fighting with jounin."

Although Sasuke guides and fights Jonin very hard, he feels that he has the confidence to win.

"I don't hate brats who are overconfident." Ebisu smiled slightly, looked at the traces around him and said, "Do you need a break?"

"No need, my Chakra and physical strength are sufficient. I will get rid of you as soon as possible."

Sasuke doesn't practice continuously, but rests every once in a while. As long as he doesn't overdo it, his chakra and physical strength are still very abundant.

"In this case, I must not lose this competition."

Ebisu nodded, walked to a position about four meters in front of Sasuke and stopped, with a serious smile on his face, eyes behind the sunglasses fixed on Sasuke's whole body, and looked carefully.

"can we start?"

Sasuke opened Sharingan.

Although he is a special Jnin who is good at educating ability, he is still a member of Jnin after all, so Sasuke planned to go all out from the beginning and dare not be careless.

"anytime."

As soon as Ebisu finished speaking, Sasuke disappeared from his eyes.

When it reappeared, it had already leaped in front of him, lifted it up and punched it.

Ebisu stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, pushing Sasuke's arm aside, and his fist hit the air.

Sasuke's center of gravity was also a little unstable because of Ebisu's movements.

Afterwards, Ebisu swept his leg, and Sasuke's body suddenly tilted to the ground.

As a last resort, Sasuke pressed his palms to the ground, turned backwards, stabilized his figure, and looked at Ebisu in surprise.

Sharingan, which has enhanced dynamic vision, can be seen through by the enemy, and knows it well... This feeling makes Sasuke feel inexplicable.

Moreover, my Sharingan cannot catch the other party's sight.

Just two or three seconds of contact, Sasuke can feel that the other party has the ability to stagger his Sharingan, and will not be disturbed by his Sharingan illusion.

What exactly is going on? He shouldn't have Sharingan... Sasuke's face was cloudy.

"Why, do you feel hesitant?"

Ebisu asked with a smile.

"Don't be too arrogant!"

Sasuke let out a cold snort, and began to stimulate his body with the Lightning Chakra, putting the cells in his body in a state of high-intensity activation.

Sharingan, coupled with such a strong activation of cells, he did not believe that Ebisu could easily deal with it.

Snapped!

Ebisu, who caught Sasuke's fist, couldn't help but backed away.

Although he was able to parry, Sasuke could feel that it was not easy for Ebisu to parry.

It's just... Seeing Ebisu who missed his Sharingan again, Sasuke secretly gritted his teeth.

What the **** is going on with this guy?

Obviously not as fast and responsive as Kakashi, but he can always avoid his Sharingan just right.

This happened once or twice, and it can be regarded as an accident. But it happens every time, no matter how you look at it, it's not accidental.

"You may not believe it, but my understanding of Sharingan may be deeper than you."

Ebisu suddenly smiled and said such words.

"Do not make jokes!"

How can outsiders understand the power of Sharingan.

For such words, Sasuke only took it as Ebisu's provocation, and wanted to use this to disturb his heart and make him make mistakes.

Thorn. The soles of the feet rubbed against the ground, and Ebisu's body slid backwards.

Sasuke's body was flickering with electricity visible to the naked eye, like an electric snake wrapped around his body.

"Chidori? I didn't expect to be able to use it like this, but you should not be proficient in using this trick."

As Hatake Kakashi's special skill, Ebisu naturally knows Chidori's name.

Although Sasuke spread Chidori's electric current all over his body, the essence has not changed, it just transformed Chidori into form. Therefore, Ebisu recognized it at a glance.

"It's enough to deal with you."

Sasuke looked solemn, he underestimated Ebisu a bit.

Unexpectedly, the opponent has the ability to stagger his Sharingan, and in terms of physical skills, he can't take advantage of using Sharingan.

Even if he is good at education, he is a jonin after all.

The shortcomings of the top ninja are also unattainable for the low ninja and the middle ninja. Sasuke has a deeper understanding of this point.

"Unfortunately, you will lose soon."

Ebisu relaxed his body, stood still, and relaxed.

"Talk in your sleep and talk when you wake up!"

Birds chirped, and Sasuke rushed towards Ebisu, intending to suppress the opponent's aura with all his might.

Just as he swung his fist, his body froze suddenly.

The surrounding scenes suddenly turned upside down, the earth, trees, sky, and even Ebisu's body became distorted, like a crooked canvas.

This is-

Illusion! ?

Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief, when did he get the illusion?

Before he had time to think about it, Sasuke quickly injected chakra into the writing wheel eyes, released the power of the pupils, and formed seals with both hands.

"untie!"

The picture in front of me began to be normal.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Sasuke felt a sudden chill on his neck.

Ebisu disappeared from his eyes.

Under his neck, there is a cold kunai.

"you lose."
