Chapter 221 Sasuke's Changes (1/2)

After Kisame left, Naruto did not return to the village directly, but took Takano Yoko to the Star Ninja Village in the Bear Country through Flying Thunder God, and kept her in the village through the Akahoshi 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.

Leaving her was just a whim, 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 he returned to the village, Morino Ibiki had just set off with his team from the northern border of the Land of Fire 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 for two days.

This mission took a total of five days.

Naruto followed Morino Ibiki and others to report to the Third Hokage.

As for Naruto's departure in the middle of the journey, he did not follow. To deal with this unsociable behavior, the whole team kept silent tacitly. No one raised or accused him 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 his 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 left before the half-month deadline for the external mission.

This time, the Third Hokage was very conscious and did not assign Naruto any more tasks, allowing him 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 ordered them to obey Naruto's orders, and they naturally obeyed.

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 did not treat the ninjas of the Root as human beings at all, and his style of doing things was cold and ruthless, not humane at all, but now that he controls the Root and finds 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 him!

Maybe Naruto will change this inhumane system in the future, but he is very good at using those ninjas in the Root who are cruel and do whatever it takes.

If this is changed to another department, I'm afraid there will be some trouble.

Naruto stayed in the village these days and lived a very leisurely life. Kawashima Kaede, who had just become the head of the Anbu, invited him to dinner and complained that the Anbu was difficult to control.

But it was true. After all, he had stabbed the third generation in the back. In addition, although the real Anbu was also ruthless, many of them were young elites from various tribes. They just stayed there to gain experience, not to be Anbu for life, so they would not easily stand on the side. In addition, the third generation probably also used some tricks to make it more difficult for Kawashima Kaede to control the Anbu.

Of course, no matter what, Kawashima Kaede basically did nothing and won the position of the head of the Anbu, so he naturally had no complaints.

What's more, he was now on the side of Naruto, who had a promising future, and he was not panicked at all. After all, he saw with his own eyes how fast Naruto rose.

......

July 10.

Konoha Village, Ninja School.

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

"Sasuke, so amazing!"

"Yes, Sasuke-kun was already the first, and he seems to have become even more amazing recently."

"Have you heard? The Uchiha clan..."

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

The girls whispered and looked 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 head teacher Iruka took a pen and recorded the students' grades.

Naturally, his eyes were mostly focused on Sasuke.

The results of the written test a few days ago also came out. 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 20 points compared with the last test, and Sasuke improved even more in the results of the three-body technique and shuriken technique.

Logically speaking, Iruka should be pleased with such great progress. It is a good thing that Sasuke, who is already the first place, can not be proud and continue to compete with him and make such great progress.

However, Iruka, who knows the inside story, is very concerned about Sasuke's psychological problems.

After the incident of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's personality changed drastically during this period of time.

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

However, recently, Sasuke would not show mercy if he was provoked by someone. He had conflicts and fights with senior students twice in the past half month.

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

Iruka had applied to the school leaders for a home visit, but it was not approved.

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

After recording the results of the shuriken test, Iruka shouted to everyone:

"Very good, Sasuke still ranked first in the shuriken test this time, and Sasuke's total score was as high as 98 points, almost a perfect score!

Everyone should learn from Sasuke and practice hard. Even though Sasuke has always been the first, he has never been proud and has been working hard to improve. He has made progress in every exam and is worthy of everyone's learning."

Iruka couldn't think of any good way to comfort Sasuke, so he could only praise him more.

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

In addition to Sasuke and Naruto, the two most eye-catching ones, there are also many students from other major clans, such as the outstanding descendants of the Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and other clans in his class, and he is under great pressure.

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 that was slightly off the bull's eye.

The boys have basically gotten used to Sasuke's dazzling light. They are jealous, but they can't compare.

The girls' reactions are as real as always, and they always look at Sasuke with admiration.

"Naruto-kun." In the group of girls, except for Karin who was yawning and standing next to her, there was only a short-haired loli with white eyes and lavender pupils who did not focus on Sasuke, but kept looking at a blond boy.

It's a pity that Naruto's attention was always on Sasuke, and he didn't notice the attention of a cute loli on 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!"

Iruka was interrupted by Naruto halfway through his words.

"Naruto, what are you doing?" Iruka looked at Naruto with a bad face. The last one always has a lot of trouble and likes to make trouble. No matter how patient he is, he will always have a bias in his heart. It is difficult to treat everyone equally.

Naruto looked at Iruka and 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 in a class of 40 people, still the last one.

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

Naruto's face was full of confidence, giving people the 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 learned from someone and became stronger 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, as if 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 and asked her to teach him physical skills. With Naruto's poor physical skills, how could he compete with Sasuke?

Karin herself had to sigh at Sasuke's talent. She also received Chiho's teachings. She could fight Sasuke 40-60. Recently, Sasuke's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she is now left behind instantly.

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

"Humph." Sasuke snorted coldly. Recently, because of the training, 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 has no other heart to care about things now.

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

In Sasuke's view, although Chiho's strength is stronger than his brother, the gap between his brother and Chiho is not too big.

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

However, the truth is that in every battle, basically Sasuke asked Chiho to hold back a little, but Sasuke would fall in a second, and he didn't even know how he was knocked down.

What Sasuke found most difficult to accept was that, at the same age of eight, Sasuke learned from Chiho that Chiho had already been a Chunin when she was eight, but Itachi, although he didn't take the exam when he was eight, was much stronger than ordinary Chunins.

Sasuke didn't need to ask Chiho about this, he could just ask his father Fugaku to know.

They graduated at the age of six, while he was still competing with his peers in school at the age of eight. Even if he was competing with his peers, he couldn't leave them far behind.

Now that the village has completely entered a peaceful period, the Ninja School does not allow students to graduate early in principle.

Sasuke also got the answer from his teacher. If he wants to graduate early, his grades must reach a 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 knows that it is 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 the Sharingan.

This made Sasuke's anxiety intensify again. He felt that this was a problem with his talent. His talent was too poor.

The more impatient he was, the slower his progress was, and the less likely he was to reopen the Sharingan.

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

To make matters worse, he got the news that Chiho would lead the elite of Uchiha to leave the village for a long-term mission, which meant that Chiho would not be able to teach him to practice in the next period of time, which made Sasuke feel terrible.

The girls naturally couldn't stand Naruto's shouting, 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 looked at the girls cheering for Sasuke, and he was furious. Before Iruka asked them to form the seal of opposition, he took action.

He kicked the ground and rushed towards Sasuke.

He punched Sasuke's shoulder directly.

Looking at Naruto, who was wide open 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 calf.

Plop!

Naruto's calf 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 powerful!"

"Great! Sasuke!"

Listening to the girls' cheers, 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?" Looking at Naruto rushing over again, Sasuke was a little annoyed. He had shown mercy, but Naruto was endless.

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

Sasuke's face darkened when he heard Mingming mention Itachi.

He suddenly formed seals with both hands.

Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin

What is this? The seal of the Great Fireball?

Iruka's face suddenly changed in the crowd, and he shouted to 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 it was too late for him 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, but I don't want you to attack yourself, Sasuke."
