Chapter 221 Sasuke's Changes (1/2)

After Kisame left, Naruto did not return to the village directly. Instead, he took Takano Yoko to the Star Ninja Village in the Bear Country through Flying Thunder God, and kept her in the village through the Akaboshi controlled by illusion.

"Before Kisame comes back, you stay here for a while."

With that, without waiting for her consent, Naruto directly transferred through Flying Thunder God.

It was just a whim to keep her, and it was good enough to be alive. Naruto didn't care whether she was willing or not.

After settling Takano Yoko, Naruto rushed back to the village directly.

When they returned to the village, Morino Ibiki had just set off with his team from the northern border of the Fire Country to Konoha.

They just sent the summoning beast to send the information back to Konoha first.

When they rushed back to Konoha without stopping, Naruto had already stayed in the village leisurely for two days.

This mission took a total of five days.

When Morino Ibiki and others came back, Naruto followed them to report to the Third Hokage.

As for Naruto's departure in the middle of the journey, he did not follow them. To deal with this unsociable behavior, the whole team kept silent tacitly. No one raised or accused 놛 of lacking team spirit. Because of Naruto's existence, this S-level mission was successfully completed, and the members of the Secret Code Department of the Hidden Mist Village were captured alive, and important information was dug out from 놛's mouth.

Moreover, in this mission, except for a few members of the Anbu who were slightly injured, no one was killed, which is almost non-existent in S-level missions.

After this S-level mission, Naruto was also promoted to a senior ninja in a legitimate way.

Because this mission was extremely efficient, it took only five days to complete, and there were still ten days before the half-month deadline for the dispatched mission.

This time, the Third Hokage consciously did not assign Naruto any more tasks, allowing 놛 to stay in the village and enjoy a short vacation.

As for the Root, Naruto can go if he wants to, and not go if he doesn't want to.

It has to be said that Danzo's control over the Root has reached an outrageous level. Naruto controls Danzo, and the Root has basically become his private property.

The ninjas of the Root have been brainwashed, and basically regard themselves as tools. Danzo orders them to obey Naruto's orders, and they naturally obey.

As for the very few who have objections, Naruto has sent them to see the Six Paths Sage.

The butt determines the head, this saying is indeed very reasonable.

Thinking back to the beginning, Naruto really felt that Danzo didn't treat the ninjas of the Root as human beings, and his style of doing things was cold and ruthless, not humane at all, but now that he has controlled the Root and discovered this system, the efficiency of doing things is indeed very high.

Although he still doesn't like this way, he is not as disgusted as before.

There is no right or wrong, it's just the law of the jungle, who made Danzo lose to you!

Maybe Naruto in the future will change this inhumane system, but for those cruel and unscrupulous ninjas in the root, you can use it very easily.

If it were another department, I'm afraid there would be some trouble.

These days, Naruto stayed in the village and lived a very leisurely life. Kaede Kojima, who had just become the head of the Anbu, also invited him to dinner and complained that the Anbu was not easy to control.

But it's true, after all, he stabbed the third generation in the back, and although the regular Anbu also acted cruelly, many of them were young elites from various tribes. They just stayed in there to train, and they were not Anbu for life, so they would not easily stand on the side. In addition, the third generation probably used some tricks, which made it twice as difficult for Kaede Kojima to control the Anbu.

Of course, no matter what, Kaede Kojima basically did nothing and won the position of Anbu Minister, so she naturally has no complaints.

What's more, she is now on the side of Naruto, who has a promising future, and she is not panicked at all. After all, she has seen with her own eyes how fast Naruto rises.

......

July 10.

Konoha Village, Ninja School.

On the lawn behind the teaching building, students are taking midterm tests.

"Sasuke, so awesome!"

"Yes, Sasuke-kun has always been the first, and he seems to have become even more awesome recently."

"Have you heard about it? Uchiha clan..."

"Shut up, aren't you afraid that Sasuke will hear it?"

The girls whispered, looking at the handsome and indifferent boy in the crowd.

However, many of them have some background, and coupled with the recent uproarious Uchiha Itachi incident, everyone is paying more attention to Sasuke.

At this time, the class teacher Iruka was holding a pen and recording the students' scores.

Naturally, most of the students' eyes were focused on Sasuke.

The results of the written test a few days ago were also released. Sasuke was naturally the first, with a comprehensive score of 291 points, only 9 points away from the full score of 300 points on the paper, and he was the well-deserved first among his peers.

However, Iruka's face was not very happy. Sasuke improved by more than 20 points compared with the last exam. Sasuke's performance in three body techniques and shuriken techniques was even better.

Logically speaking, Iruka should be relieved for such a big improvement. Sasuke, who was the first in his life, was not proud and continued to compete with himself. It was a good thing to make such a big progress.

But Iruka, who knew the inside story, was very concerned about Sasuke's psychological problems.

After the incident with the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's personality changed a lot during this period.

Although Sasuke was not outgoing and cheerful before, he was polite and gentle to his classmates.

But recently, after the test, Sasuke showed no mercy to anyone who provoked him. He had conflicts and fights with seniors twice in the past half month.

Sasuke now has a stern face all day long, which makes Iruka very worried.

Iruka even applied to the school leaders for home visits, but was not approved.

In fact, he himself knew that this period was a sensitive period.

After Iruka recorded the results of this shuriken test, he shouted to everyone:

"Very good, Sasuke still ranks first in this shuriken test, and Sasuke's total score is as high as 98 points, which is almost full marks!

Everyone should learn from Sasuke-kun and practice hard. Even though Sasuke-kun has always been the first, he has never been proud and has been working hard to improve. He has made progress in every exam, which is worth learning from."

Unable to think of a good way to comfort Sasuke, Iruka can only praise him more.

It's not easy for this new teacher, and the students in this class are not simple.

In addition to Sasuke and Naruto, who have the most eye-catching identities, there are also many people from various major clans. For example, the outstanding descendants of the Kochu, Nara, Akimichi and other clans are in his class, and the pressure on him is also very high.

Hearing Iruka's praise, Sasuke did not react at all. On the contrary, because he did not get full marks, he looked at the shuriken on the target with a slightly gloomy face, which was slightly off the center of the target by a few centimeters.

The boys were already used to Sasuke's dazzling brilliance. They were jealous, but they couldn't compete with him.

The girls' reactions were as real as ever, and they always looked at Sasuke with admiration.

"Naruto-kun." Among the girls, except for Karin who was yawning and standing next to him, there was only one short-haired loli with white eyes and lavender pupils who didn't pay attention to Sasuke, but kept looking at a blond boy.

Unfortunately, Naruto's attention was always on Sasuke, and he didn't notice the attention of a cute loli to him.

Iruka looked at Sasuke's expression and knew that there was no way to deal with it, so he continued:

"Let's start the actual combat test. The first group will fight Uchiha Sasuke..."

"Teacher Iruka, wait!"

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Iruka was interrupted by Naruto when he was about to say something.

"Naruto, what are you doing?" Iruka looked at Naruto with a bad face. The last one always has a lot of things to do, and he also likes to make trouble. No matter how patient he is, he will always be biased in his heart. It is very difficult to be so-called benevolent.

Naruto looked at Iruka, pointed at Sasuke and said, "Teacher Iruka, I want to fight Sasuke."

"You?" Iruka frowned slightly

Although Naruto had been briefly trained by Naruto, and with Karin helping him with his lessons from time to time, his grades were not the last, but he could only rank in the top 30 of a class of 40 people, still the last one.

"Teacher Iruka, I have been through special training recently, and I have become stronger. Believe me, I will beat Sasuke!"

Naruto's face was full of confidence, giving people a feeling that he could really beat Sasuke.

Looking at Naruto's expression, Iruka also thought that he had become stronger recently.

After all, Iruka also had some understanding of Naruto, so he thought that he had really become stronger by learning from someone recently.

"Sasuke! I must beat you this time! Wait and see!" Seeing that Iruka did not object, Naruto rubbed his hands and looked at Sasuke, looking like he was sure to win.

At this time, Karin, who was sitting on the grass in the crowd, rolled her eyes at Naruto.

"This idiot!" Karin cursed in her heart. Naruto had been pestering her recently to teach him taijutsu. With Naruto's poor taijutsu, how could he compete with Sasuke?

Karin herself had to sigh at Sasuke's talent. She had received Qianhe's teachings. She could have fought Sasuke 40-60. Recently, Sasuke's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she found that she was instantly pulled away.

In this situation, Naruto actually provoked Sasuke, really asking for a fight.

"Humph." Sasuke snorted coldly. Recently, because of the practice, he has been fully focused on getting stronger. He is full of thoughts about finding his brother after getting stronger.

Because this goal drives Sasuke, he now has no other heart to care about other things.

In addition, every time he practices, he feels the huge gap between him and Qianhe that is endless, and his mood becomes heavier.

From Sasuke's point of view, although Chihe is stronger than his brother, the gap between his brother and Chihe is not that big.

And he wants to reach the level of being able to find his brother, not to mention being able to defeat Chihe, at least to be able to fight him a little.

However, the real situation is that in every battle, basically Sasuke asked Chihe to be patient, and Sasuke would lie down in a second, and he didn't even know how he was knocked down.

What Sasuke found most difficult to accept was that, although he was still eight years old, he learned from Chihe that Chihe had already been a Chunin when he was eight years old, and that Itachi, although he did not take the exam when he was eight years old, was actually far superior to ordinary Chunins.

Sasuke did not need to ask Chihe about this, he could just ask his father Fugaku directly.

They graduated at the age of six, and he was still competing with these younger people in school at the age of eight. Even if he was competing with younger people, he could not leave them far behind.

Now the village has completely entered the peaceful period, and the ninja school does not allow students to graduate early in principle.

Sasuke also got the answer from the teacher that if he wanted to graduate early, his grades must reach the record-breaking level.

However, the record of the Genin graduation exam in the ninja school cannot be broken at all. The full score is 300, and the record is 300. This record is held by his brother Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke knew that it was basically impossible for him to reach 300 points at present.

Originally, Sasuke opened the Sharingan, and logically, his strength should have improved by leaps and bounds, but in the past half month since he activated the Sharingan, he has never been able to reopen it.

This made Sasuke's anxiety again. He felt that it was a problem with his talent, and his talent was too poor.

The more impatient he was, the slower his progress, and the more he could not reopen the Sharingan.

With such a poor talent, he had to practice with these children, how could he become stronger.

In this situation, he got the news that Qianhe was going to lead the Uchiha elites to leave the village and perform a long-term mission, which meant that Qianhe would not be able to teach him to practice for a period of time, which made Sasuke feel terrible.

The women naturally couldn't stand Naruto's arrogance, and they waved their fists to support Sasuke, and the situation was one-sided.

"Naruto, you are too arrogant! Sasuke, don't show mercy!"

"Sasuke, teach him a lesson!"

"Sasuke, beat him up!"

"Sasuke, you are the best!"

"Damn Sasuke!" Naruto was furious when he saw the girls cheering for Sasuke. Before Iruka asked them to form the seal of opposition, he attacked.

He kicked the ground and rushed towards Sasuke.

He punched Sasuke's shoulder directly.

Looking at Naruto, who was open in the middle gate and full of flaws, Sasuke frowned slightly. He turned sideways, took a half step back, and then hooked his right leg and kicked Naruto's leg.

Plop!

Naruto's leg was kicked, and his body instantly lost balance and fell to the ground.

"Come again!"

Naruto got up and rushed towards Sasuke again.

Bang!

Naruto was hit by Sasuke's punch and fell to the ground.

"Wow, so awesome!"

"Great! Sasuke!"

Listening to the cheers of the girls, Naruto got up again in anger. In fact, he didn't know why he had to compete with Sasuke. Maybe it was because he was too prominent, or maybe it was because Sasuke ignored him for a while. He could only express his dissatisfaction in this way. Sasuke didn't take him seriously recently.

"Are you done yet?" Looking at Naruto rushing over again, Sasuke was a little annoyed. He had shown mercy, but Naruto was not done.

"I want you to know that without Itachi, I still have me!" Naruto said.

Hearing Mingming mention Itachi, Sasuke's face sank.

He suddenly made a seal with both hands quickly.

Si-wei-shen-hai-wu-yin

What is this? The seal of the fireball?

Iruka's face suddenly changed in the crowd, and he shouted at Naruto: "Naruto, be careful! Get out of the way!"

Sasuke's cheeks bulged, but just when he was about to spit out the fire chakra, he suddenly reacted, but he didn't have time to stop.

Suddenly a person appeared in front of him and covered his mouth.

Then a ball of golden chakra appeared, attracted the fire chakra in Sasuke's mouth, wrapped it and released it.

Boom!

A ball of fire intertwined with gold and red rose into the sky and then exploded.

"I teach you to practice, not to let you attack yourself, Sasuke."
