Chapter 19 Orochimaru’s new apprentice
Ninja school playground.
All the students in Class A formed a big circle.
Naoto Yamanaka stood in the circle, holding a roster and mobilizing.
"This test is not only because Lord Orochimaru accepts a disciple, but also a test for the school, so I hope everyone will show their full strength. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Natsume and others answered in unison.
"Not bad, very energetic."
Naoto Yamanaka flipped through the roster and said, "Those whose names I have called will stand out and compete. The winner will advance to the next round."
Natsume sat down cross-legged.
To put it bluntly, the situation on the court can only be described in four words: rookies pecking each other.
The graduation standard for the Ninja School is to learn the Three Body Technique.
As you can imagine, there are many things to do in first grade.
Natsume has now learned five ninjutsu.
In addition to the Three Body Technique, there are also the Instant Body Technique and Water Release and Water Turbulence.
He could have pointed at them and said: Uchiha Itachi, stand up first, everyone present is rubbish.
Natsume looked at it for a while and saw the pattern.
The winners are basically Ninja students.
There is no way, civilian students are not born with enough talent to be exposed to more advanced ninja knowledge in advance.
For example, Haruno Sakura.
The performance of the early plot is average. Call Sasuke when you have nothing to do, and Naruto when you have something to do. It's just a drag.
But she is already a leader among civilian students and can be called a top student.
Others are even worse.
"Natsume versus Kuzuryu Kenji."
Naoto Yamanaka looked at the roster and shouted.
When Natsume heard his name, he immediately stood up and Shi Shiran walked into the circle.
"Come on! Natsume!"
A group of girls cheered for him.
"Damn it! Isn't it amazing how good-looking you are?"
Kuzuryuu Kenji looked unwilling and said, "I will definitely defeat you!"
"Can you play shogi?" Natsume asked.
"What...what?" Kuzuryuu Kenji was stunned.
Please, please be serious!
I'm talking trash to you, and you ask me if I can play shogi?
Can you show me some respect?
"Can you play shogi?"
Natsume repeated it again and said, "I have a friend, also named Kuzuryuu. He is very good at shogi and is called the Dragon King."
"Won't!"
Kuzuryu Kenji said in a stiff tone, "It won't be of any use to you to have a relationship now."
Fine.
Natsume stopped talking nonsense.
Instantaneous body technique.
Chakra air flow surrounded his legs, and he suddenly appeared in front of Kuzuryu Kenji. He kicked out, but he couldn't react at all, and landed in the flat sand falling goose style.
"Natsume wins."
Seeing that Kuzuryu Kenji could not rise again for a long time, Yamanaka Naoto immediately announced.
Uchiha Itachi, who was not far away, nodded.
The teleportation technique is okay.
But it's far inferior to Brother Shisui.
"Uchiha Itachi vs. Uchiyama Cat."
Natsume sat down again and looked at Uchiha Itachi.
Well, Three Second Man.
He saw Uchiha Itachi come on and then come off.
An unconscious inner bobcat was left on the playground.
The movement was so fast that most people didn't see it clearly.
Natsume estimated that Uchiha Itachi was now close to the Chunin level.
One battle after another.
In the end, there were only two people left in Class A of the first grade.
Natsume and Uchiha Itachi.
Naoto Yamanaka was not surprised either.
The former is Tsunade's apprentice, and the latter is Uchiha Fugaku's son.
It can be called a unique blessing.
While their peers were still playing in the mud, they were already learning ninjutsu.
"You two will fight, and the winner will represent our class to compete with other classes, and the final ten people will have the opportunity to become Lord Orochimaru's apprentice, so go for it."
After a few words of encouragement, Naoto Yamanaka retreated to the sidelines and handed the stage to the two of them.
A raised platform on the playground.
"Lord Orochimaru, the one on the left is Itachi Uchiha."
Vice-principal Yoshiyuki Nara introduced him respectfully, "He gets full marks in both theoretical and practical classes at school, and is a well-deserved number one."
Orochimaru licked his lips.
Natsume actually didn't fully believe Uchiha Itachi's statement that he could activate the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But regardless of whether it was true or false, he had to touch it personally, so he had to accept Uchiha Itachi.
"Where's the other one?" Orochimaru asked casually.
"Natsume, Tsunade-sama's apprentice." Nara Yoshiyuki replied.
Orochimaru became slightly interested and asked, "What are the limits of his blood inheritance?"
"No. His water escape talent is pretty good."
Nara Yoshiyuki's words immediately dispelled Orochimaru's newly raised interest.
It is not the limit of blood inheritance, and it is of no use to him.
Plus he was Tsunade's apprentice, so he didn't bother to get involved.
While the two men were talking, the battle on the field had already begun.
Uchiha Itachi stood on the spot and threw out six shurikens.
Natsume responded without hesitation.
Crackling.
The sound of shurikens clashing.
But the next moment, Uchiha Itachi raised his hands slightly, and the six shurikens that were supposed to fall down suddenly spun around and fell like raindrops.
Natsume's eyes narrowed.
Only then did he notice something like a wire tied around Uchiha Itachi's fingers.
This is the art of handling shuriken.
Normal genin can't do it.
Instantaneous technique!
Natsume's body suddenly accelerated, avoiding the attack range of the shuriken.
However, Itachi Uchiha had expected it. As he accelerated, the shuriken also accelerated and turned into a tracking bullet.
Water escape·Water chaos!
Natsume appeared, forming seals with his hands, chakra gathered in his mouth, and a stream of water spurted out almost instantly.
The onlookers suddenly let out an exclamation.
In the ninja school, whoever can use the Five Elements Escape Technique is the most beautiful kid.
Uchiha Itachi didn't panic at all, he disconnected the shuriken with both hands, and then formed a seal instantly.
Art fire escape ho fireball!
A huge fireball rushed into the stream of water.
It turns out that water escape is suppressed by fire escape.
However, Uchiha Itachi's chakra was far superior to Natsume's, and instead reversed the nature and evaporated the water flow.
"I surrender."
Natsume used the teleportation technique again and appeared at the edge of the circle.
It's normal that he can't beat Uchiha Itachi now.
In addition, he cannot use Wood Escape.
"Natsume-san has done very well."
Naoto Yamanaka said with a smile, "Let us congratulate Itachi Uchiha, he will participate in the next round of battle."
While Class A of the first grade decided on the winner, so did the other classes.
Because Orochimaru accepted him as a disciple, all grades one to six participated.
Under normal circumstances, the lower grades cannot beat the upper grades.
But the freak Uchiha Itachi appeared and won all the way to the end.
Towards the end of the evening, ten people were selected.
They stood on the high platform, looking at Orochimaru with excited eyes.
Except for Itachi Uchiha, who was relatively calm.
Uchiha Shisui did not tell him about being attacked by Orochimaru, but now he still agrees with Orochimaru.
Itachi Uchiha thought it would be okay to be his apprentice, so that he could further learn the will of fire.
As the apprentice of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Will of Fire should be quite powerful, right?
Orochimaru glanced at the ten people in front of him, nodded twice quite casually, and said: "Just you two."
At the same time, Natsume received a reminder from the Holy Ring of Destiny.
[Because of your actions, Uchiha Itachi's fate has changed, and you gained eighteen points of fate. 】
[Because of your actions, Maoyue Xiyan's fate has changed, and you have gained forty-nine destiny points. 】
Guys, it’s a new week, so there’s a lot of recommendations and votes.
