MTL - Escape From Konoha-v2 Chapter 28 fight

   Chapter 260 Fighting

In the    office, Hizan was frowning and seemed to be troubled by something.

   Opposite him is Shimura Danzo, the leader of the root group, who has been a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side since childhood.

   Even now because of political disagreements, in many cases, Hizen is willing to trust Danzo as a close friend.

   No matter what the other party's purpose is, good or bad, but for Konoha's loyalty, the other party will not be weaker than himself.

   As long as you remain absolutely loyal to Konoha and be willing to give, Danzo's wrongdoings can be offset by merits and demerits.

   In the interior of Konoha, where the radical faction is now growing, the existence of Danzo also becomes important.

   "Come here specially, is there something to talk about?"

  Because I'm busy with my root affairs, I haven't seen each other for about half a year.

  The root manpower still needs to be cultivated and expanded, but due to the suppression of Anbu, it can only slowly expand its strength.

   However, he believed that Hijen would not say anything about this kind of thing, and Danzo also admitted that he was invincible in terms of balancing policy.

   "According to Kakashi's surveillance, the movement within Uchiha seems to be a little chaotic."

   "Really? That clan's style is like this, but if you don't care about it, it is inevitable that they will have some unfavorable attitudes to the village."

   "Like what?"

   "Coup."

  Tuanzang cherished the words like gold and said two words.

   "Too serious."

  Hizan shook his head.

   "I just represent my opinion. If you don't agree, I just hope that you won't regret it at that time."

   Danzang smiled coldly.

   If it was before, he might not think so.

   But now in the ninja world, there is already a lesson from the past.

   That is the fourth generation of Mizukage Yutachi Yakura of Kiriyin Village. He is the only Five Shadows who acted in a violent coup and succeeded in ascending the throne in the past dynasties.

   Moreover, according to the information, the position of the water shadow of Gotachibana Yagura is very stable.

  A violent coup requires a premise, that is, to have a strong force and carry out a beheading operation.

   And Uchiha just has such power.

   With such a successful case, why not make the radicals of Uchiha excited?

   It's just for dealing with high-level executives... Even Danzo has to admit that Uchiha has such an opportunity.

   Uchiha Fuyue's performance in the third ninja war was also very dazzling, even not losing to Sannin.

   But because of some political factors, it did not receive a lot of publicity from the top.

   Now there is another instant body stop water... The power of that young man, Danzo also involuntarily generated a sense of awe.

   is terrifying.

  Uchiha Shishui is definitely another Uchiha glass.

"Anyway, they are all part of Konoha. As long as they don't get to that point, they won't meet each other. Moreover, I have reached an agreement with Fuyue that after this chunin exam, his son will be sent to him. Itachi was incorporated into Anbu and eased his relationship with Uchiha."

  Rizhan didn't want to waste time like this.

   For such a long time, Anbu had nothing to gain, even Shisui could not find out the inner ghost that Uchiha Ruri had buried from the Uchiha clan.

  In this case, there is only another way to monitor Uchiha.

   "Did Uchiha Fuyake agree?"

   "Yes, he agreed."

   "I'm afraid it came with the intention of monitoring Anbu and us."

   A sharp look flashed across Danzo's eyes.

   "I've seen that kid before. It's a kid who can think about the big picture with Naruto thinking, and he'll be on our side."

  Hisashi said with certainty.

   "Ten years ago, your evaluation of Chiba Shiroishi was the same."

   Danzo gave Hizan a strange look.

  “…”

  Rizhan's mouth twitched slightly.

   Danzo's words reminded him of an unpleasant memory.

   "Itachi is different from Chiba Shiraishi. He will never become an evil rebel like Chiba Shiraishi. He is Konoha's Uchiha Itachi."

   "I hope so."

   Danzo thought about the cooperation with that 'Madara', and could only be sorry for Hiizaki once again.

   However, Hiizhan will definitely forgive him in the end, just like before.

   This old friend is really old.

   "Did Xiaochun and the two agree?"

   Danzo asked again.

   "No, the two of them are firmly against it. So I need your opinion."

   After hearing Hizan finished, Danzo nodded.

   Those two people usually don't seem to be a threat, but when it comes to targeting Uchiha, they are also implementing the legacy of their teacher, the second Hokage.

  Anbu is such an important department, people from the Uchiha clan should not be allowed to enter.

   Uchiha has already mastered such an important department as the garrison. If they continue to increase their authority in the village, it will not only inflate the ambitions of the Uchiha family, but also make the rest of the family dissatisfied.

   "Since you, Hokage, have no objection, as the leader of the root, I naturally have no problem. As long as it is beneficial to the village, I will definitely support it."

   "I'm relieved to hear you say that. After all, places like the roots are not suitable for itachi to grow."

   Two years ago, Danzo proposed to let Itachi take the Chunin exam alone, and train him to be a sharp sword like Konoha White Fang and Yellow Flash.

   But this kind of thing was rejected by Hizen.

   At the same time, it also made Hizan understand that Danzo also noticed the existence of Itachi, and hoped to draw Itachi into the root.

   He said this to make Danzo clear that Itachi is a ninja belonging to Anbu, not a root.

The    root is always just a branch of the dark part.

   "Isn't it better to let Itachi choose? That child has darkness."

   Danzo frowned and said.

   "The light of fire will illuminate the darkness of his heart."

  Hizhan said firmly.

   Because he still has an ace in his hand - that is Uchiha Shisui.

   However, Shisui's identity of Anbu is a top secret, and the entire Konoha, now only he, Hokage, knows.

   is regarded as the 71st person outside of Anbu.

   And he is also Itachi's best friend, and he will definitely guide Itachi on the right path.

   Danzo got up and left without saying a word.

  ◎

   "Solo take the Chunin exam? What is Konoha doing?"

   This year's Konoha Chunin Exam is very lively.

   Because not only Konoha Shimonin participated, but also Shimonin from other countries.

   is regarded as a joint Chunin exam of various countries.

   The home game is on Konoha's side.

  The reason why the Ninja villages in other countries agreed, also had the mentality of testing the younger generation of Konoha ninjas, of course, there were also reasons to show their muscles to other countries.

   It’s just that Konoha also revealed a piece of information, that this year there will be a Konoha ninja who will participate in the Chunin exam as a single person.

   And this Konoha ninja who participated in the Chunin exam as a single person is exactly the Uchiha Itachi that Kazuhime is concerned about.

  The Uchiha family, another genius after Shunjin Shishui.

   It's just that compared to Uchiha Itachi's own fame at this moment, people's attention is that Uchiha Itachi is participating in the Chunin exam as a single person.

   This is a different kind of existence in the traditional Chunin exams.

  Ninja does not fight alone. In many cases, the role of a team is far more important than a single person.

  Whether it’s the lower end, the chunin, or the stronger upper end, you must know how to work as a team.

   Especially Konoha, who is dominated by the will of fire, pays more attention to team awareness.

   It is true that there are speed ninjas like Namikaze Minato, who are not suitable for cooperating with teammates, but it is also because of the particularity of space-time jumping ninjutsu that the legend of yellow flash is created.

   But Uchiha Itachi, no matter how you look at it, is not the same type of ninja as Namikaze Minato.

   Based on this consideration, Kazuhime thinks that this may be something planned by the senior officials of Konoha.

   Only in this way can it be explained that Uchiha Itachi participated in the Chunin exam alone.

  This exam is quite unfavorable for Uchiha Itachi.

   "Probably failed in the second exam."

   said the shrine maiden who was accompanying her.

  The Konoha Chunin Examinations this time also included elite Jinin from the other five countries, and they were all in groups of three.

   The first test was a written test. It is said that Uchiha Itachi had a full score in theory when he was at the ninja school, so the written test was not difficult for him.

   But the second exam is a hard-fought game that requires strength.

   Uchiha Itachi, who acts alone, is hard to stand out in this exam no matter how you look at it.

   "Since Konoha's Uchiha has praised him as a genius rarely seen in 20 years, you can't use common sense to infer. In short, I'm still quite interested in his next test results."

   Kazuhime said so.

  Common sense is a word used to restrain mortals, and genius cannot be limited by common sense.

   Especially for a genius like Uchiha Itachi, there may be some unexpected surprises.

  ◎

   "Less than six hours... The speed of passing the second test can be said to be the fastest person ever."

  The masked Anbu reports to Hokage who is sitting there, and Danzo, the leader of the root group.

   Hearing this result, the two seniors with high positions in Konoha couldn't help but be surprised.

   The candidate Anbe mentioned is naturally Uchiha Itachi who participated in this Chunin exam as a single person.

   In the first written test, he got a near-full score, and in the second test of breaking through the death forest, he successfully reached the central tower of the death forest in less than six hours, and the score was the first.

  Rizhan took a deep breath, perhaps thinking of something.

   "This kind of achievement is comparable to that of Watergate back then."

   But the difference is that at that time, Minato completed the Chunin Exam in a three-person team, while Itachi completed it alone.

   From this point of view, it cannot be said that Itachi has completely surpassed Minato, but itachi has achieved such a result, which is shocking enough to be proud of.

   "The next exam is the third exam, so it shouldn't be a problem for Itachi."

  Rizhan heaved a sigh of relief.

   Actually let Itachi participate in the Chunin exam as a single person, and he also has no bottom in his heart.

   But seeing Itachi's results at the moment, I am confident that Itachi will participate in the third exam.

   In this joint Chunin exam, absolutely no genin can beat Itachi.

   Even said that there are none of Genin who can stand on the same level as Itachi.

   This achievement is impossible even for a formal chunin.

  Itachi's strength has surpassed most Chunin.

   is only ten years old.

   "Relaxed?"

   Danzo asked.

  Hizan nodded without concealment.

   "This achievement should really be proud of, it would be even better if he was not from the Uchiha clan."

   Danzo said intentionally or unintentionally.

   Hi Zhan fell silent.

  Yeah, it would be better if it weren't for the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

  Uchiha, after all, is a thorn that is hard to pull out.

   Among the younger generation of the Hokage faction today, only Kakashi can provoke the lead.

  The rest of the young ninjas are still slightly inferior.

   And what about Uchiha?

  The war made their writing wheel eyes stronger and more talented.

   No matter what era, there has never been a fault, and there is never a shortage of powerful ninjas who support the family.

   Because of this, he wanted Itachi to join Anbu and serve the Naruto faction.

   It’s just that Danzo also mentioned that no matter how talented Itachi is, he is also a member of the Uchiha family, with Uchiha’s fighting factor flowing.

   "Itachi is not that kind of kid."

   "If you can't master this blade, it doesn't matter if you leave it to me to tame it."

   You simply cannot master such a dark blade! This is the true words in Danzo's heart.

  I am used to Naruto standing in the sun and do not understand the real darkness of ninjas.

  Itachi, in Danzo's view, is a ninja who is a combination of darkness.

   Even Anbu cannot become Itachi’s home.

  The root is where Itachi really should go.

   "This kind of thing is impossible to discuss. The current strength of the root is enough for you to exert it."

  Hizan shook his head.

   No matter whether you can control such a blade or not, handing it over to Danzo to use is the most dangerous thing.

   "I'm still so confident. Forget it, I'll go back to rest first. There's no need to call me for the third exam. There's no need to pay attention to the blade that doesn't belong to me."

   Danzang snorted coldly and walked out of the room.

  Hizan knew that Danzo was unwilling, but it didn't matter, he was Konoha's Hokage, the one who really made the decision.

   Danzo retreated despite the difficulties, and it also saved him a lot of effort.

  ◎

  The huge round wall is like a cage, the sky cover is removed, and you can see the sky and white clouds.

  In the upper part of the tall wall, there is a huge platform where spectators can watch ninja battles.

   Officials, businessmen from all over the world, as well as residents and ninjas of Konoha, all gathered here to watch the third exam of the Chunin Exam.

  Ichihime was also arranged here, and it was a VIP seat.

  As the princess of the land of ghosts, Konoha will naturally try his best to meet all of Kazuhime's needs.

   And this does not require Kazuhime to take the initiative to speak, Konoha will take the initiative to arrange everything.

   Sitting here and watching the ninja duel below is quite a novel experience for Kazuhime.

   Around her, there are also children like her, but most of them are adults, officials and big businessmen from all over the world, all of whom are like celebrities.

   It can be said that those who are sitting in this area are either rich or expensive.

   Sitting next to Kazuhime were the two shrine maids who accompanied Kazuhime, serving as Kazuhime's bodyguard.

   On the edge of the aisle, there is also Joinin of the Kingdom of Oni standing there, paying attention to everything around him.

  Although Konoha's Anbu has also opened the defense line, but there are so many rich and noble classes here, if an accident happens suddenly, it is difficult for Konoha Anbu's manpower to protect it comprehensively.

   Therefore, business and political celebrities like Ichihi who have their own guards also bring their own ninja guards to protect their own safety.

   The first exam of the Chunin Exam is a written exam.

   The second test was held in the Konoha Death Forest. There was an indiscriminate battle, and it was necessary to reach the central tower within the specified range.

  The third test is a one-on-one duel, and the ninja who wins the duel is eligible to become a chunin.

  The Genin from all countries selected from the first two exams are all elites in the Genin.

   Generally speaking, it is actually very difficult to win from a one-on-one duel.

   None of the Genin who supported the third exam was mediocre.

   Many Genin are likely to have Chunin-level strength.

   However, Itachi wants to win.

   And it was an overwhelming absolute victory.

   He wants to let the big figures in the business and political circles from all over the world watching the game on the high platform know the strength of Konoha and the strength of the Uchiha family.

   In this way, he is one step closer to protecting Konoha, protecting everything he cherishes, and eliminating all wars in the ninja world.

   Therefore, after the referee finished shouting 'start', Itachi opened his scarlet writing wheel eyes and lifted his fingers just right from his waist.

   Then... the battle is over.

  Ninja under the name opposite him, his eyes were sluggish, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, his originally dull expression immediately showed the appearance of collapse, screaming in horror on the spot, and fell unconscious to the ground.

   "...What's going on here? Where's Huo Dun?"

   "Why did that guy suddenly faint?"

   The audience on the high stage seemed very surprised by this.

Joinin, who was just serving as the referee in the field, seemed to suddenly understand something, walked to the middle of the field, looked at the other country Jinin, who was twitching in fear, and then announced: "The winner, Uchiha Itachi. "

  Itachi calmly left the venue.

   And those spectators on the high stage were also surprised.

  The end of the battle was beyond everyone's imagination.

   "Is the power of Shaking Wheel Eyes? It's so powerful..."

   The shrine maiden who accompanied him was also surprised.

   None of the Genin who supported the third exam was mediocre.

   However, in such a difficult situation, Itachi ended the battle with an instant kill and overwhelming strength, which was really unexpected.

   "No, he didn't use the Shaker, because from the moment Itachi opened the Shaker, the Genin on the opposite side deliberately avoided Shaker."

   Kazuhime narrowed her eyes.

   As long as you don't meet the eye of the wheel, then the illusion of the wheel eye will not work.

   "Huh? Then why..."

"There is a problem with the finger he raised his head. Let the other party mistakenly think that he intends to use the Sharinyan illusion, so that the other party deliberately avoids Sharinyan, thereby reducing the vigilance of the Sharinyan illusion. Then Uchiha Itachi pretended to end the seal. Gestures, attracting the eyes of the other party... His illusion is probably activated by that finger."

   "Using your fingers to activate illusion? So powerful?"

   "Well, very powerful."

  If you don't know the details of Itachi, you will definitely be killed by the first sight.

   This point, Kazuhime is very sure.

   is very similar to her mother Liuli's tactile illusion. They don't use the shackle to launch illusions, and they deploy illusions in unexpected places to destroy enemies.

   What's more terrifying is that the opponent has to pay attention to Itachi's movements.

   It would have been very difficult to avoid the Sharknyan battle, so paying attention to Itachi's hands and feet to determine the action became the key to breaking the game.

   So this is a trap designed by Itachi.

   Even if you know this is a trap, you can't avoid it, unless you use the same powerful illusion skills to fight it.

   Using this method to cover up the flaws of Sharinyan illusion, the other party is not just powerful in Sharinyan.

   Kazuhime followed Itachi's every move.

   That flawless figure that seems to have been tempered and tempered, probably far surpasses his peers in physical skills.

   raised his hand to disguise the dexterity of his fingers, proving that he is also very skilled in ninjutsu.

   It can be said to be a ninja with flawless ninjutsu, taijutsu, and illusion.

   After watching the game, Kazuhime stood up from her seat.

   "Ichihi-sama?"

   "After watching such a wonderful battle, there is nothing new in the next game, let's go."

"Yes."

  The two shrine maidens, and the surrounding Oninokuni Jōnin also left together.

  ◎

   Walking into the inner corridor leading to the lounge, Itachi could feel that he was in a surprisingly good mood.

  I am also very grateful to the senior members of the village who allowed me to participate in the Chunin Exam.

   Thank them for providing such a stage for themselves.

   In this way, ninjas from other countries who have seen their own power will probably be in awe of Konoha's power.

  Shinoin represents the future of the village. At the age of ten, he killed the powerful Genin who participated in the Chunin exam in seconds. This is undoubtedly a proud achievement.

   Those who are not optimistic about taking the Chunin exam alone will also change their opinion of his strength.

   And after that, he will enter Anbu and become a bridge between the village and the family... Itachi feels the great responsibility on his body.

   So, we need to get stronger.

   No rest, no slack.

  Itachi plans to return to Uchiha's private training ground next to continue to hone himself.

   "Congratulations, Uchiha Itachi."

   This voice suddenly entered his ears, making Itachi slightly startled.

   It was only then that he noticed that there was a girl about his own age leaning against the wall, watching him with an inexplicable look.

  Beside her, there were two young women in witch costumes, and a few male ninjas beside her, also giving herself a strong pressure.

  Junin.

   The few male ninjas who accompanied the girl were all terrifying jounin.

   On the foreheads of these people, they wear ninja foreheads that are different from those of the five major countries.

  The forehead is engraved with a certain flower pattern.

   Aster flower.

   Ninja in the land of ghosts?

   With the accompanying shrine maiden... Itachi knows the identity of this girl.

   Mahiro Kazuhime.

  The adopted daughter of Maitreya Maitreya in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the princess of the Kingdom of Ghosts who is studying in Konoha, and has a distinguished status.

   Thinking of the scale of this joint Chunin exam, as the opponent of the princess of the country of ghosts, it is also reasonable to watch this game.

   "What's the matter with Your Highness Princess?"

  The Country of Oni is a very special country.

  Especially about the various legends about monsters and witches, Itachi used to know some in textbooks.

  Especially the country of ghosts has made a lot of international movements in recent years, especially the medical industry, which is in a state of vigorous development, and has a faint momentum of surpassing Konoha.

  Konoha's current medical market is largely occupied by pharmaceutical companies in the country of ghosts, and many of Uchiha's imported medicines are also provided by this company.

   "Just interested in the genius of the Uchiha clan."

   "Really? If nothing happens, please allow me to retire."

After   Itachi said, he raised his foot and left.

   "You look tired, okay?"

   Kazuhime asked.

   However, Itachi didn't hear the meaning of concern from Kazuhime's mouth, instead it was mostly malicious.

   It was like seeing some kind of novelty toy.

   But, Kazuhime said he was tired, which made Itachi disagree.

   Against an opponent of that level, it won't make him tired.

   Rather, just raising a finger to fight, where can he get tired?

   "It's better to take a rest, if you die suddenly, I will be very troubled here..."

   Died?

   What an inexplicable princess. Weasel judges so.

   And how much rest? How is this possible?

   He has not yet become the strongest ninja in the world, and the relationship between the family and the village has not been settled. He will soon enter Anbu to perform a secret mission, and in the future, he will accumulate prestige to become Hokage, and then he will fight for world peace all his life...

  I have no spare time to rest.

   A person who shoulders everything alone is the path that Uchiha Itachi is going to take.

   He was confident that he could do it all by himself.

   My current self cannot rest.

   Watching Itachi leave, the priestess next to Ichihi asked involuntarily:

   "Does Kazuhime-sama care about Uchiha Itachi?"

   "Ha, this is really funny. I just think that if I don't have a tough enough whetstone on the road of the tyrant, I will lose a lot of fun. After all, I am the worst at illusion."

   Kazuhime sneered.

  ◎

   "Itachi?"

  Someone is calling yourself?

  Itachi turned his head suspiciously, walked to the door of the lounge, and suddenly found his father Fuyue walking from another corridor to his side.

"What's the matter? You looked distracted, and you didn't answer a few times when I called you just now. I watched your game just now, and it was very exciting, as expected of my son. In this way, there will be no problem for you to join Anbu. already."

   Fuyue laughed like this.

   "Yes~www.novelbuddy.com~ Itachi nodded.

   But still can't let go of the weird feeling just now.

  Father Fuyue said that he had called him several times before he could react, which was a bit unreasonable.

  It is impossible for him to be so careless, even if he is distracted, he believes that as long as someone calls him, he can respond quickly.

  Itachi thought of only one possibility.

  Illusion... I fell into someone's illusion, which made me have a misleading reaction to everything around me.

   could not be over the playing field.

   Before going to the lounge, the only people I met were the princess in the land of ghosts, and a few people who accompanied the princess.

   Those who followed him did not have any suspicious actions, and the princess of the kingdom of ghosts also did not have any doubts, just communicated with him normally.

  Itachi frowned deeply. If so, how did he fall into the illusion?

   "Could it be... the sound...?"
