Chapter 259: two years
Chapter 259 Two years
The afternoon of the holiday.
Of course, this holiday was approved by Shiraishi for himself.
Being busy with work all year round, I occasionally think about living a relaxed life with my family and relaxing.
Baishi has always advocated a work attitude that combines work and rest, not only for himself, but for his subordinates, if they maintain a state of nervous tension for a long time, it will not be conducive to development in the long run.
Although it is summer, the weather today is particularly refreshing, the sun is warm and genial, and colorfully sprinkled on the green park grass.
The park is full of children running and playing, and there are adults chasing them carefully behind.
Asuka also joined in, but unlike these lively and active children, he built a castle with sand on the sandy ground with a few new playmates.
His stacking skills are superb, which has attracted the appreciation of many playmates of the same age.
This is of course, at a very young age, Asuka was fond of various toys such as building blocks. Even if it is boring sand, it can pile up many buildings with different styles.
As for Cai, she was lying on the edge of the fountain next to her, looking at all kinds of beautiful stones in the pool, as if she was reaching out to grab a few to play with.
Because of Ayane's forced correction, Aya didn't wear girls' clothes, but changed back to men's clothes.
This time, I finally saw the hope of correcting Cai's bad habits.
As long as it keeps going like this, it won't be a big problem to completely correct bad habits.
Cai's problem is solved here, and Asuka, as the elder brother, naturally has no major problems.
The only problem is probably too common.
Of course, this is from the perspective of a ninja. Asuka's talent is indeed not too outstanding, but with the inclination of resources, it is not a problem to have the standard strength of a ninja before the age of thirty.
However, compared to Ichihime and Liuli, it is really worrying to take over the position of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the future.
This is from the perspective of a ninja.
Asuka's upper limit of potential is already here.
But in Shiraishi's view, whether there is an upper limit to Asuka's potential is also unknown.
Or, is there really a limit to human beings?
In his previous life, Baishi heard a saying that the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology.
The family he is in now can barely be called a rich family.
So, what is the potential of Asuka in the future, it is obviously a generalization from the perspective of a ninja.
At least in Asuka, Shiraishi also saw some kind of possibility.
There will always be a day when I abdicate. Before that, let my children grow up and become independent, which is what I should really do.
Ichihime has found her own path, and has the ability and potential to realize it. As long as there are no mistakes in principle, Shiraishi feels that she has the hope of abdicating at the age of forty and receiving a pension to retire.
Asuka... Thinking of this, Shiraishi waved to Asuka who was building a sand castle on the sandy ground.
"Flying bird."
Asuka, who was focused on playing with his friends in the sand, noticed someone calling him, immediately burst into a smile, and quickly ran towards Baishi.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"How's it going, did you have a good time today?"
Shiraishi smiled and stroked Asuka's head.
"Well, I'm very happy."
Asuka nodded heavily.
There is sand on his clothes and face, so betting on the game regardless of his image is obviously a manifestation of a happy mood.
"I always feel that Asuka, when you see interesting toys, you are always very involved."
It seems to have happened before.
For example, the castle was built up with building blocks with great difficulty, but it was pushed down by Kazuhime, which made me sad for a long time.
For the love of toys and games, Asuka always maintains the highest enthusiasm.
"Because it's fun."
"It would be great if I could focus this enthusiasm on learning."
Shiraishi smiled.
"But Asuka is already studying very seriously."
Asuka raised his head, looked at Shiraishi with bright eyes, and answered seriously.
"It's just a joke. No matter what you do, maintaining enthusiasm is the best response."
"Um."
"Okay, let's go and play, but also pay attention to the time, don't go too far."
"Got it, Dad, then I'll go."
With a smile on his face, Asuka quickly ran back to the sandy ground, and continued to build the unfinished castle with his playmates there.
Just looking at the type of castle, it shows Asuka's talent in this.
However, compared to talent in this area, the simplicity of chasing fun may be the most precious quality.
And this kind of quality, I'm afraid it's something that even Yiji doesn't have.
Compared to Kazuhime's conquest, Asuka only pays attention to the discovery in the process of exploring fun in the pursuit of strength and ability.
Think about it carefully, isn't this a very good talent?
"It's just that the talent in this area is still insufficient..."
Yes, maintaining this nature is just an introduction.
Even if Asuka is trained to be an excellent scientific research talent, it will take more effort than ordinary people.
And, even then, it’s not guaranteed to be successful…
Talent is the most ambiguous word.
But Asuka's mentality at least made Shiraishi feel that if he found a path that seemed suitable for Asuka, it would depend on the subsequent changes of Asuka.
Whether Asuka could become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the future, Shiraishi didn't care.
Liuli probably thinks the same way, and doesn't force all of this.
After all, the current Uchiha clan in the ghost country, apart from Liuli, does not lack powerful ninjas.
And with Liuli's current age, it doesn't matter if she is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the kingdom of ghosts for another 20 years.
In the past twenty years, it is not particularly difficult to find a successor to take his place.
With natural energy and senjutsu, the Uchiha clan who possesses the blood succession limit boundary sharingan, there will definitely be no shortage of talents who can take on the future of the clan in the future.
As for Obito who has already awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Shiraishi thought about it and decided to forget it.
Not only himself, but Liuli is probably worried about handing over the Uchiha clan to Obito's management.
The strength is indeed strong enough. In terms of the awakening talent of Sharingan, it may even be stronger than Liuli herself, but in terms of character and ability to bear, it seems that she is not very shrewd...
The most important thing is that Lin is willing to put a chain around her neck...
Therefore, ideological education cannot be relaxed, but must be paid close attention to.
Especially for the Uchiha clan, after the ninjas of this clan have awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, it is very dangerous in some respects, and there is a possibility of rampage towards the unstable unknown.
Obito once had this possibility, but after he saved Lin, he temporarily suppressed it and sealed that part of the darkness.
But if one day Lin is killed, she will still go berserk and be induced by the power of the kaleidoscope.
In the final analysis, it was caused by the sadness of ninja education in the old days.
For the Uchiha family, the cruel ninja education of the old era is the root of the power that induces the twisted Sharingan.
War... Shiraishi smiled lightly.
Somewhat understands why the past Akatsuki wanted to stop the war so much.
Throughout the thousand-year history of the ninja world, Shiraishi feels only sadness and helplessness limited by the times.
"However, there is one thing that is very strange. Even though the emergence of chakra and ninjutsu has prompted frequent wars, the thousand-year-old wars are too frequent and excessive, and I always feel a bit abnormal..."
Shiraishi sighed.
The world is different, so the trend of history will also become different.
can only be attributed to this reason.
It was dusk soon, Cai's small body was lying in Baishi's arms and fell asleep, only the slight sound of breathing could be heard.
"Dad, are you going back?"
Asuka finished the castle building game over there, and ran to Shiraishi.
His body was even dirtier, with a lot of sand on his clothes and a lot of sand in his shoes.
Like a naughty kid.
"Yeah, it's time for dinner, let's go back."
"good."
Asuka took steps, followed Shiraishi, and returned towards home.
On the way, Baishi turned his head and asked, "Speaking of which, Asuka, have you thought about what to do in the future?"
"Future? Hmm..." Asuka moved his little head, then smiled happily, and replied to Shiraishi: "Open the world's largest toy factory."
"But, Asuka, you are not very good at managing money, are you? Maybe you will go bankrupt."
Shiraishi asked amusedly.
The smile on Asuka's face collapsed, probably recalling some very painful memories.
"Haha, I was just joking. However, to make interesting toys, you need not only hard work, but also a lot of professional knowledge. Only in this way can you make more and more fun toys."
"Does Dad understand this?"
"If Asuka wants, I can find a teacher to teach you."
"Really?"
Asuka looked very happy.
"Of course, but now you still need to lay a good foundation, and the knowledge of ninjas cannot be neglected."
Without hesitation, many scientific applications in the ninja world are based on chakra.
and Chakra are closely related to everything about ninjas.
Only when you learn more about Chakra, will your future path be more convenient.
It can be said that Chakra is the foundation and root of the science of ninja world.
"But, I'm not very good at ninjutsu."
Asuka is not good at applying ninjutsu, and it is only relative to those real geniuses.
Asuka's ninja aptitude is still above average.
and Yiji are often compared together, so they naturally appear a little ordinary and simple.
"It doesn't matter, the application of ninjutsu almost doesn't matter if you can get on this path. What matters is knowledge."
Shiraishi smiled.
"I see, Dad."
"Then it's an agreement. In the next two years, let's study ninja knowledge seriously. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
Asuka tilted her head, still unable to understand Shiraishi's words very clearly.
But he thinks he can't let his father down, and he will work harder to learn ninja knowledge.
Shiraishi looked at Asuka who was thinking, and then looked towards the sky, Kazuhime... that child should not be a problem in Konoha.
Konoha will sooner or later become the enemy of the ghost country. If Kazuhime can learn more about Konoha, penetrate into the layers of Konoha, analyze the culture of Konoha, the history of Konoha, and the will of fire in Konoha, it will be a blessing for the kingdom of ghosts.
Unknowingly, Baishi was looking forward to the future of these children.
◎
Konoha 53, July.
Time flies, and it has been almost exactly two years since I entered Konoha Ninja School.
According to the stipulations of the contract, Ichihime knew that she would leave Konoha this year and return to the kingdom of ghosts.
After two years as a foreign transfer student, Yi Ji has obtained sufficient materials and information to give herself a perfect answer sheet.
Regarding this point, Yi Ji has already made preparations in advance.
If you want to talk about nostalgia for Konoha, there should be a little bit.
—The ramen in this village is delicious.
In addition, if I have to say it, this village is not very friendly to the security team controlled by Uchiha. It is obviously an important force to manage the security of the village. It should be trusted and supported by the people just like the security team in Ziyuan City, the capital of the ghost country.
However, in Muye Village, this was not reflected.
She has paid attention to many people and ninjas, and most of the impressions of the guard are described as rude, rude, violent, and illegal law enforcement.
As for whether there are any of her own private goods mixed in, or whether the upper-level people have deliberately induced them, that is beyond Yiji's ability to know.
It involves high-level Konoha, she is a ninja school student, and it is impossible to know the details.
In addition, the situation of Inchurik seems to be very worrying.
The other party seems to be the son of the late fourth generation of Hokage, but until now, he has been living alone, with very few playmates around... No, it can even be said that there are no playmates at all.
Occasionally, when passing by the river, Kazuki can often see the figure of the other party sitting alone on the swing.
Associated with the information obtained, the impressions of various countries on Renzhuli seem to stay at the level of weapons of war and danger.
In Konoha, it seems that a strange demonization has been carried out, and Jinzhu Riki is regarded as the incarnation of the demon fox... This kind of weird public opinion makes Kazuki not know how to make an evaluation.
Probably... another deliberate laissez-faire from the upper echelon?
Later, this kind of thing was also recorded and studied.
For Ichihime, the history of Konoha since its establishment, family constraints, sharing regulations, people's livelihood security, the education level of the masses, the cultivation of ninja's psychological quality, alliances with various countries, and the treaties signed in each war... are all important things that are worth studying and must be studied.
"Sure enough, it is very different from the kingdom of ghosts..."
In Kazuhime's study room, there are all kinds of books.
Among these books, in addition to the above content, there are also books on chakra introduction, ninjutsu system, ninja combat application, psychic beast system, blood follower limit research, code interpretation, ninja experience and so on.
It can be said that Kazuhime has read all the books involved in Konoha's entire education system, and carefully studied from the first edition to the new edition.
Because of this, I also developed an interest in reading.
After all, she doesn't need to practice deliberately, she has the same amount of chakra as the tailed beast, and the three-gou jade writing sharing eye. She only needs to improve her control and physical fitness, and her strength will naturally increase.
So, Yi Ji has never paid attention to such things as cultivation.
According to the current progress, it will take about three or four years before she can completely unlock the seal in her body. Her strength... not counting the combat experience, she can easily touch the five shadows.
But as the overlord of the ghost country in the future, strength and insight are indispensable.
Pure violence is a little too inelegant.
"As an experimental investigation, I have already gained a lot, and there is no value in staying here..."
Because of the wool in this village, she basically squeezed out all the wool that could be squeezed out.
Wool that cannot be squeezed, such as Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she has only seen it from a distance, and has not directly touched it.
As an outsider, rashly contacting such a sensitive existence as Jinchuriki will not gain anything other than arousing the vigilance of Konoha's senior management and causing trouble for himself.
She came to Konoha for social inspection, not to cause trouble.
At ordinary times, I also pay attention to interpersonal communication, do not have bad relations with anyone, and do what an excellent model student should be, in order not to cause trouble.
Just as Kazuki was thinking this way, the doorbell rang.
"Come in."
Yiji turned her head and said to the people outside the door.
The door was gently pushed open, and a young woman in a red and white priestess costume appeared there.
This is one of the two witches who came from the kingdom of ghosts.
All have a special ability that ordinary witches do not have-the ability to restrain monsters.
Usually also serves as Ichihime's maid, taking care of her room and arranging school matters.
"Master Yiji, there is a letter from the ghost country, I hope you return to the ghost country as soon as possible."
After all, the two-year contract date has come, and Yiji has already done all the things that Yiji should do, so it is meaningless to stay here.
Hearing what the miko said, Kazuhime didn't reply immediately.
Indeed, the two-year contract date has arrived, and it is understandable to leave Konoha and return to the country of ghosts at this time.
However, she still has one thing to do.
After doing this, she can end this perfect journey.
Therefore, she didn't answer the question instead: "Speaking of which, Konoha's Chunin exam will be held in a few days this year."
The witch froze for a moment, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Ichihime-sama, there are five days left, which is the day when Konoha's Chunin exam will start this year. At that time, Konoha will invite ninjas from all over the world to participate."
"Did the ninjas from our ghost kingdom get involved?"
The priestess thought for a while, then shook her head, indicating that no ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts were involved.
Although Konoha had invited him, the military politely declined and did not intend to participate in the Konoha Chunin Exam.
Konoha invited ninjas from various countries to participate, probably to test the specific strength of their own ninjas and ninjas from other countries.
Or, it is to show the countries that Konoha has not declined, and is still the number one ninja village in the ninja world.
If the event is successful, Konoha's reputation will naturally increase, but if it fails... the blow to Konoha will not be considered insignificant.
"The old man is really cautious. However, I heard that in the joint Chunin exam held by Konoha, a Uchiha ninja will participate in this exam."
"Yes, the name of this Uchiha ninja is Uchiha Itachi, and he is the eldest son of the current Konoha Uchiha patriarch Fuyue. Many people say that he is a genius that Uchiha rarely sees once in twenty years."
The miko also paid attention to this, and she answered it smoothly.
"This is really a powerful gimmick, but taking the ninjas of the Uchiha clan as the focus, is Konoha's senior management planning to ease the relationship with Uchiha?"
Yiji laughed amusedly.
"Maybe consider this aspect."
Miko doesn't know much about this matter, and it involves high-level Konoha, so it is naturally impossible to let outsiders know easily.
"The old man said that among Konoha's senior management, that guy named Shimura Danzo has been targeting Konoha's Uchiha since the second Hokage passed away... I always feel that this Chunin exam is not easy."
Yiji pondered.
"What does Ichihime-sama mean?"
"I want to watch Konoha's joint Chunin exam before leaving Konoha, and then return to the country of ghosts. You can go and make arrangements."
"But…"
"Nothing but, Uchiha is a rare genius in twenty years, isn't this quite interesting?"
"Yes, I see. I'll arrange it right away."
Reminiscent of Kazuhime's true identity, it is natural to be interested in the genius strength of the Uchiha clan.
And this Chunin exam is indeed a little different.
After the witch left, Kazuhime was left alone in the room again, thinking about the bustling street outside the window.
"Itachi Uchiha... Since his mother, he has been hailed as the most talented new star in Uchiha, let me see how you perform..."
◎
"Chunin exam... I see, father."
Itachi, who heard the news, was also very excited.
He doesn't know why his leader Jonin, Minazuki Yuuki, has not recommended him to take the Chunin exam.
Working day and night under Minazuki Yuki's command as a ninja, I thought it would last for a long time, but I didn't expect that the higher-ups would directly convey the order to let him participate in this Chunin exam.
Itachi knows that there are also reasons for the Uchiha clan.
The supporter among them is his father Fu Yue. If Fu Yue didn't intervene, it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to get out of the situation of being a ninja.
In fact, he also faintly felt that his leader, Ninsuzuki Yuki, didn't seem to want him to become a Chunin.
However, with the direct intervention of high-level officials this time, Minazuki Yuki has no right to stop him from participating in the Chunin Exam.
As long as you become a Chunin, you will have a lot more freedom in terms of freedom.
"Although Naruto-sama agrees with you to participate in the Chunin exam, there is one requirement."
Fuyue looked at Itachi seriously.
"Require?"
"This Chunin exam, you have to take it alone."
"one person?"
Itachi was taken aback.
However, to become a chunin, isn’t it necessary to demonstrate qualified teamwork skills?
If it is a person, how to demonstrate such ability?
"Don't be nervous, this is the embodiment of your excellence. It proves that Hokage-sama has recognized your ability. Moreover, as my son, you are also capable of doing this kind of thing."
Fu Yue said seriously.
Itachi felt puzzled, but understood that this was his only chance to be promoted to Chunin.
"As long as you can pass all the exams and beat all the candidates in the examination room, you will be licensed to become a Chunin. This is also an agreement between me and Naruto-sama. Moreover, after the Chunin exam, you will be selected by Naruto-sama as a member of the Anbe."
Having said that, Fugaku's eyes turned hot when he looked at Itachi.
Anbe... If Itachi can enter Anbe, then, for the Uchiha clan, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful.
Let Itachi enter Anbu, this is the plan of the third Hokage, but is it not an opportunity for the Uchiha clan?
The three-generation Hokage is already old, and Danzo at the root can only use some shady tricks behind his back. Sannin has left one after another, but Uchiha has such pillars as himself and Shisui. Itachi can become Uchiha’s third pillar in the next few years.
No matter which aspect is considered, Fu Yue does not think that he will fail in the next match.
As long as Itachi can become a member of Anbe, the Uchiha clan can gradually gain authority in Konoha, and even information from the high-level.
For the Uchiha clan, this is beneficial and harmless.
Letting Itachi join Anbu, to a certain extent, also means that Hokage has softened his attitude towards their Uchiha clan.
Itachi was even more surprised.
Another individual exam, and joining Anbu...
Such information came into his mind, making Itachi frown and meditate.
"So, there is only one way left before you, and that is to defeat all the examinees, become the best ninja in this joint Chunin exam, and make our Uchiha clan famous."
"Yes, I understand."
Itachi, who can't figure it out, can only obey this arrangement.
"Don't use too much pressure. With your strength, you don't need to worry about anything. Ten-year-old Anbe, even Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi can't compare with you. Uchiha's future depends on you, Itachi."
Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi are both genius ninjas who once had the reputation of Konoha, especially the former, at the age of 24, became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, with the power of one person, almost reversed all the unfavorable situations on the battlefield.
Such a genius ninja has always been an existence that Itachi has been paying attention to and yearning for.
Now hearing his father Fuyue's affirmation, Itachi felt that the pressure on his body was getting heavier, and he gradually felt that he could not breathe.
But the village and the family must not be disappointed.
I still need to become stronger to reverse all the injustice and killings in this ninja world.
Therefore, this body can still hold on.
Xu saw the determination in Itachi's eyes, and with a satisfied smile, Fu Yue left Itachi's room.
As expected of his son, as long as he has this determination and perseverance, sooner or later, he will lead Uchiha back to his past glory.
In that case, the Fifth Hokage position is within easy reach.
