The moment Shinobu Onijima announced the winner, warm applause came from the audience one after another.

In such an atmosphere, Aya only glanced at it lightly, and was not shaken by these victories, showing a posture of pampering and not being surprised.

However, in his own territory, he finally managed to hold the championship position, which is not too bad.

"Even that level of chakra can be blocked, what a powerful boy."

Red sighed.

"It's not so much awesome as terrifying. His comprehensive strength is basically comparable to that of Shangnin. “

Asma was speechless.

Even he didn't have much confidence that he would be able to block the last move, unless he got the information in advance and took precautions in advance.

But the battle of ninjas, many times, is a time lag to obtain information. In the real battlefield, there is very little time to obtain sufficient intelligence and then arrange it slowly.

Otherwise, the sacrifice rate of ninjas would not remain high every year.

The comprehensive strength of the twelve-year-old can be compared with that of the upper ninja, which is already quite a terrifying evaluation.

This kind of genius, in the history of their Konoha, there are only a few people. If you don't break down halfway, they are both powerful ninjas on the honorary side, such as Uchiha Ruri and Hinata Ayane, who have broken away from Konoha, both of whom are ninjas who became famous at a young age.

When he was still studying at the ninja school, he was already the leading genius of Konoha at that time, and he was not less than used as a positive teaching material by the teachers of the ninja school to encourage future generations.

Although it came out a little later, it could not hide the fact that they were excellent.

Of course, like the late four generations of Hokage, Uchiha Itachi, who has defected to Konoha, and Kakashi, who is now the head of the dark department, also showed a strong strength that was not inferior to the upper shinobi when they were teenagers.

"It is indeed unique to turn every part of the body into a weapon that kills people."

Kai was simply shocked by Cai's physical skills.

Although his physical skills are very strong, he does not have a very high utilization rate of many parts of his body, and he cannot control such an inconspicuous thing as hair to such a fine extent.

But in terms of the utilization rate of the body's 'weapon', Cai has surpassed his name.

Perhaps this is the uniqueness of the Hyuga clan in the country of ghosts.

Compared with the traditional jutsu boxing, they are obviously keeping pace with the times, not sticking to traditional methods, but based on the most basic use of chakra ability of the Hyuga clan, they have embarked on a completely different path from the tradition.

And this road, at present, is brilliant and brilliant, which has benefited him a lot from this upper ninja and greatly broadened his horizons.

"If he's so strong, I guess no one at our age can beat him, right?

Shikamaru held his head in his hands, revealing a look of distress.

Unlike the rest of his peers who only lament that the other person is very powerful, he sees more things, and naturally his considerations are not limited to the surface.

What's more, the younger generation of the Ghost Country is not just the one in front of them.

Several of the Oni Country military ninjas who participated in the finals, each of them can be said to be a character in their own right.

Moreover, he believes that the rule that the game cannot kill the opponent may even greatly limit the play of the group of shinobi in the country of ghosts.

He could feel that these ghost country shinobi were all actual combat factions who had experienced a lot of bloody battles.

Not only is the foundation solid, but the comprehensive ability in all aspects is far beyond the level of the lower ninja.

This is not a good thing for Konoha, who has an extremely bad relationship with the country of ghosts.

Under the influence of his father over the years, he naturally knows what kind of terrifying behemoth he will face if he takes over the position of Konoha Shinobi squad leader in the future.

In contrast, although Konoha has a lot of talents, on the whole, it is still a little worse.

The most important point...

Shikamaru looked at the Chiba Shiraishi on the high platform and sighed in his heart.

I'm so young.

And the Hokage in their village is already old, and it is not surprising to hear my father say that the body of the three generations of Hokage has deteriorated every day in recent years, and it is not strange when he is tired and falls at work.

It is common for the elderly of this age to receive a strong stimulus that causes the body to collapse directly.

This kind of pressure is extremely heavy even for a young man, let alone what kind of terrible pressure an old man has to carry.

Asma seemed to see what Shikamaru was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Shikamaru, you don't need to think so much, we shinobi are still there." Sometimes, don't take responsibility that you shouldn't have. “

Shikamaru turned his head and glanced at Asma, who was smiling lightly at him, and always felt that the other party had something to say, but he didn't know what the other party was going to say.

But he still nodded.

Shikamaru also knew that he was thinking a little too much.

In any case, what you need is growth, not taking on responsibilities that you can't bear.

Thinking about it like this, Shikamaru felt that his heart was much more relaxed, and the pressure suddenly reduced a lot.

When Red heard Asma's words on the side, he felt that this kind of thing should not be said to a shinobi, which increased the pressure on the Sand Nian, but hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Asma is not a person without a purpose, maybe Shikamaru's existence is not ordinary, after all, the heir of the Nara clan really can't think about it with ordinary thinking.

"Kakashi, what do you think?"

Asma asked.

Kakashi scratched his head and replied, "Let's talk about it then, we won't know until we have a high-level meeting." The most important thing now is to arrange these forbearances first, so as not to have any accidents. ”

"That's it."

Asma nodded, not saying anything more.

Sakura wasn't interested in the dumb riddle between the shinobi, and was just sorry for Naruto for losing the match.

Seeing that Naruto was also carried away by the medical ninja and sent to the infirmary for recuperation, Sakura had the intention of leaving.

"Don't go yet, there is the award ceremony next, although Naruto did not win the championship, the reward for the runner-up is still quite generous, and there is also Sasuke's consolation prize. When the time comes, you can help the two of them get it. “

Seeing that Sakura was about to leave, Kakashi spoke.

"Huh?"

Sakura was just about to lift her feet and leave, when she heard Kakashi say this, she suddenly remembered that there was an award ceremony to go next.

All finalists will receive a consolation prize, and the top players will be rewarded with more generous prizes.

It's not something related to ninjas, it's just an item used in life, but it also proves a little bit of the organizer's heart.

"Well, I'll wait a little longer."

Sakura thought about it and felt that Sasuke and Naruto had special medical staff to take care of them, and they didn't need her medical ninjutsu, so even if they went a little late, it would be fine, so they simply stayed.

"However, Kakashi-sensei can do this kind of thing, right?"

Sakura asked.

Kakashi touched his chin and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do next, so I'll leave for the time being." I'll pack it for dinner, so please take care of the two of you first, Sakura. “

Before Sakura could speak, Kakashi's hands flicked and disappeared from place in a cloud of white smoke.

"What, leave the mess to me to deal with, Kakashi-sensei is too lazy."

For Kakashi's irresponsible behavior, Sakura has seen it too many times, so she doesn't bother to complain.

This attitude of coming and leaving makes her not know what to say.

"Speaking of which, today is the day of the final of the joint Zhongnin exam."

In the hollow of the woods, with no shade above, the shark-faced man looked at the sultry sun above his head, opened his mouth, and felt that his skin was a little dry.

The ghost shark thought to himself, should I find a hot spring hotel at night and soak in the hot springs, just to cool off.

This kind of weather has to come out, it's just to find guilt.

The Itachi, who was walking in front, was wearing the same red cloud coat on a black background as the ghost shark, and glanced back at the ghost shark, not knowing what the other party was expressing.

"Hehe, it's not interesting, I just think Itachi you might care about this kind of thing. Listening to Bai Jue, it seems that your younger brother is also a contestant.

The ghost shark's smile looked a little innocent.

But Itachi knew that under the innocent appearance of the ghost shark was an incomparably cold and delicate mind.

Coupled with the fact that he is strong, even in the Xiao organization, he is like a fish in water, and he is completely different from himself, the object of surveillance.

But it's not very difficult to change this status, that is, to surrender to the upper echelons of the organization, completely draw a line with Konoha side, and concentrate on doing things for the organization, then, with Nagato's courage, he must not mind his past.

But...... Do you really want to do this?

The dreams of his youth, the expectations of his parents, the attention of the Hokage, the hatred of his younger brother, the heavy responsibility given to him by the village... Everything weighed down on him and he couldn't breathe.

Although after a few years, he no longer thinks about things from the same extreme angle as before, and the dispute behind the Uchiha extermination clan is probably not just the one who is manipulating it...... But Itachi really couldn't imagine that the Hokage who trusted him and Shisui would be such an unbearable character.

What went wrong back then?

Although I don't like to be in the same league with a group of traitors in my heart, I don't seem to be qualified to say such things now.

He is also a traitor.

Three generations... Itachi sighed softly in his heart.

"That kind of guy has nothing to look forward to, and now he doesn't even have the qualifications to be robbed of his eyes by me."

Itachi said.

"That's right, I heard that when you were ten years old, Itachi passed the middle ninja exam alone, which is really amazing."

The ghost shark laughed.

Itachi acquiesced.

Just like he was investigating the ghost shark's affairs, the ghost shark must also be secretly investigating his affairs.

This tacit understanding has long been a tacit fact between the two sides.

"It's nothing, Konoha has never lacked genius."

Itachi tells a truth that is both proud and heart-wrenching.

It's true that Konoha doesn't lack geniuses, but the fact is that after these geniuses grow up, they either set up separate forces and break away from Konoha or become defector defect ninjas... There are also people like him who left the village with a special mission.

"Where do we go next? Recently, the leader has not issued any tasks, and the rest of the organization seems to be busy with their own affairs. ”

The ghost shark misses the things of his time in Fog Hidden Village a little.

It's busy, but it's fulfilling.

After joining the Xiao organization, in addition to regularly completing several important tasks every year, holding a meeting every once in a while to contact and liaise with feelings,

The rest of the time is very leisurely, and the monthly salary is also the same.

I didn't know what to do, and I was a little dazed for a while.

When he first took over this mission, Yakura said that this was a dangerous espionage mission that could make him feel dead.

But in fact, I haven't worked for a few years, and I have already started leisure retirement in the organization.

If one day buy a yard and raise some fish in the pond... The ghost shark began to think crankily for a while.

It seems that this kind of life is not bad.

But looking at the high salary paid every month, the ghost shark felt guilty.

You should take the initiative to do something for the organization to alleviate this guilt.

For example, let several large countries pay attention to the danger of Xiao Organization earlier, so that they have the motivation to work.

Otherwise, if you continue like this, you may really be directly abolished by the organization.

"If there is really nothing to do, you can step on the spot in advance to prepare for the next action."

Itachi also saw the boring mentality of the ghost shark, and this mentality of doing nothing was exactly what he wanted.

Moreover, he also has something he wants to verify.

"Stepping on points?"

The ghost shark didn't understand the hidden meaning of Rong's words for a while.

"Let's go, rest for the night at the inn in the town ahead tonight, and then think about the next thing."

Itachi stepped forward.

The ghost shark lazily raised the big knife shark muscle, put it behind him, and slowly followed the steps of the weasel.

In the white room, where there is no variety, the campfire crackles and burns.

The light and shadow of the flames shone on the walls of the clean, reflecting the flickering shadows of the flames.

Bai Shi looked at the young man sitting by the bonfire in front of him, dressed in an ancient style, and the more he looked closely, the more he could feel that the background of the other party and the whole world seemed extremely sudden and incompatible.

"A little girl sneaked in and inadvertently woke me up. You use the same technique. However, I didn't expect anyone to find this place, and it seems that you have a deep understanding of the concept of jutsu. ”

As if to see that Shiraishi was wary of himself, the young man waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, his voice calm, as if he didn't care about anything.

It is not so much detachment as the loss of feelings, like a cold machine that only keeps life running, lacking human sensibility, and perhaps even reason is about to be lost.

"It's just a blessing. If your strength hadn't dropped, I might not even be able to get in. “

Zishi sat down on the opposite side of the campfire, secretly still alert, but still unmoved on the surface.

"Can you see how strong I was in my heyday?"

The young man seemed to be very interested, though there was no warm smile in his smile.

Is the lack of affection serious because of a long-term relationship? Shiraishi began to speculate.

"I can probably see that even the remaining chakras can make people feel frightened, otherwise I wouldn't be so vigilant."

Spot... No, it's still on top of the spots! Shiraishi felt the young man's chakra and exclaimed slightly.

The remnants of the chakra are already so powerful, so what about the heyday?

can peek into the power of the other party in its heyday, Zishi's words are half true and half false.

He could see that the strength of the other party was far beyond his common sense of ninjas, but as for where the upper limit was, Shiraishi couldn't see it.

"You're pretty honest."

The young man seemed to praise Shiraishi for his wisdom.

He had seen all kinds of people, not so much as experience, but an instinct engraved in his body.

"My name is Indra."

After a moment of silence, the young man Indra suddenly spoke.

Shiraishi nodded, judging from the name that can call Asura', it must have something to do with Asura, and he is wearing such an ancient costume, as well as a pair of three-hooked jade writing wheels....

If it was Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, then it would be reasonable.

"Can you tell me, how many years have passed since my time?"

Indra didn't explain where he came from, because he could see from Shiraishi's expression that the other party didn't know anything about him, and he just saved time to introduce himself.

"It's been a long time, about a dry year."

Zishi gives a figure that is not much different in time.

According to ancient records, when Otsuki Kaguya was sealed by the Six Dao Immortal Brothers, the two sons of the Six Dao Immortals, Indra and Asura, were already born.

"A Thousand Years"

Hearing this number, even Indra's face was in a trance, and he opened his mouth, falling into some kind of complicated memory, remembering something.

“… Has it been a thousand years..."

Not knowing whether to cry, laugh, or just emotion, Indra continued to stir the bonfire with a stick, watching the flames burn.

In the eyes of the writing wheel, the light and shadow of the flame fluctuations are reflected.

"A thousand years ago, as the eldest son of an immortal, I was in a battle with my younger brother Asura for the successor of the ninja sect. Failed. ”

Indra lowered her head and continued to look at the bonfire, and the writing wheel eyes became extremely scarlet and hideous.

Fail!

This is really a shameful word that makes him feel infinite pain in his heart when he recalls it!

So much so that his chakra condensed body became slightly trembling.

The indifferent face restores the emotional fluctuations as a human being.

"It's really unfair, no matter what, it's clear that I'm doing better and faster... My father always favored the asuras, thinking that I had gone down an evil path and would lead the world astray... He always firmly believes that the love of the asura is the key to changing the world! ”

Indra continued, and the more she narrated, the more the muscles in her face twitched, pain and chagrin, and loss, and hatred.

It is the hatred of his younger brother Asura.

It is also the hatred of the unjust father of the Six Dao Immortals!

"Even in the end, my father passed on the immortal art to the Asura and denied my will."

"With your aptitude, it's not that difficult to learn immortal arts, right?"

Shiraishi asked strangely.

It can be seen from Indra's powerful chakra that he has the talent to learn and master the art of immortals perfectly.

What's more, according to the records of only a few words in ancient books, Indra's talent is far superior to that of Asura.

Because Indra is the ancestor who pioneered the ninjutsu system.

Nowadays, the Indian forms used in the ninja world are all developed by Indra, which lowers the threshold for the use of ninjutsu and benefits many people, making ninjutsu no longer the patent of the big barrel wood family.

With such a mind, he wondered why Indra would lose to the Asura in history.

No matter how you look at it, Indra's ability is stronger than that of Asura.

"So what? Since my father didn't teach me, I naturally disdained to learn immortal arts. I want to prove to him that even an Asura who has learned immortal arts will always be my subordinate! ”

Shiraishi was dumbfounded.

Should I say stubbornness, or is it too much pride?

This sense of pride gives Shiraishi a familiar sense of déjà vu.

He remembered that during the Konoha period, in order to target the Uchiha clan, Danzo gave the three of them a wrong information during a mission, so that they almost died in the siege of the sand shinobi that time.

Although later, in order to calm down this turmoil and avoid making things bigger, the Hokage let Ruri choose any ninjutsu from the Book of Seals to learn as his own accumulation.

But Ruri did not accept this kind of charity that was close to pity, and from beginning to end, she did not bow to the top of Konoha .

Because of this incident, there has been an indelible estrangement between Liuli and the high-level Konoha since then, which has become a thorn in Liuli's heart at that time.

Now the same shadow is seen in Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

This personality... Should I say that I deserve to be from the same family?

"Later, I created the seal and made a huge mistake as well. The conflict with his father broke out all at once. ”

"Contradiction?"

Shiraishi frowned in disunderstanding.

"Well, this has to start with the concept of my father's founding of the Ninja Sect. My father's purpose in founding the Ninja Sect was to enable people to communicate and understand each other with the help of chakra, and to build a world of harmony where there is no strife and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. “

"It's an amazing dream."

Although this kind of beauty is difficult to exist in reality, Shiraishi is not very disgusted by idealized things, as long as it does not interfere with his actions.

After all, he did not deprive people of the right to dream.

"Yes, in that era, bandits were rampant, monsters were everywhere, my father traveled the world, killed countless demons and monsters, and was worshiped by countless people.

It can be said that he is a character like a saint of the time. The concept of ninja sect also became a trend of thought that people talked about at that time. “

When Indra said this, he could not hide his admiration and yearning for his father's six immortals.

"My father worked for world peace all his life, and when he was alive, the world was rarely at peace. However, my father knew that he would die sooner or later, and he did not want the peace that the ninja sect had managed to maintain with great difficulty to be destroyed, so he hoped that the next heir of the ninja sect would be elected between me and the asura. But I know that my father has always favored Asura because of the concept of Asura love, maybe at the beginning of this competition,

I've already lost. ”

Indra sighed softly.

Although many of his memories have been lost for a thousand years, only the memories with his father and Asura are still fresh in their memories, as if they happened yesterday.

"But I still stick to my own approach, the love of the asura is good, but it lacks the power to act. And human beings, not so smart guys, only strength can restrain their behavior.

Shiraishi neither shook his head nor nodded, just listened silently.

"And at that time, it was not only a problem of bandits and monsters, but also a more essential problem, which was the aristocratic collectives that exploited the people layer by layer. Those people, with love, can't influence them. Even people can be traded as goods by them, and the evil they do,

Countless times more evil than robbers and monsters. I can only use my power to convince them, so that they can believe in the love of the asuras'. ”

"But it's useless to just fix them."

Shiraishi said.

My father said the same thing at the time, and although I was unwilling, I could only obey. And that's one of the reasons I created the Seal and Art in the first place. Since I can't directly make them compromise, then, give those powerless civilians powerful weapons, let them make better use of chakra, learn ninjutsu, use their power to intimidate the noble group, and take back their own interests from the nobles..."

Indra's chakra eyes became extremely scarlet and hot.

But soon, the heat in his eyes disappeared and he regained his composure.

"I did this secretly, hoping to make some merit and get my father to recognize my efforts. But alas, something happened later that made me regret it. Do you know what's going on? ”

Indra didn't say it directly, but looked at Shiraishi, wanting to hear what this hereafter man thought.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to solitude, changing his original arrogant personality, and he is both a narrator and a good listener.

Zishi glanced at Indra, thought for a moment, and then said, "War broke out, didn't it?" ”

Indra's eyes widened in surprise, completely unaware of how Zishi could guess the answer so quickly.

"It's not hard to guess. Because you only taught the uneducated civilians how to seal and magic, but you didn't teach them how to restrain their own violence. There is a saying called virtue is not worthy, that group of civilians with no ideological consciousness, after suddenly gaining great power, the first thing is to kill all the nobles who exploited them, and then divide their property, becoming a group that destroys the stability of the world more terrible than ordinary robbers. Their constant plundering and slaughter of the aristocracy led to more innocent civilians, displacement, and the collapse of the state system.

If this vicious circle continues and is not checked, it will inevitably lead to very horrific bloody battles.

The commoners who had learned their power had become demons more terrible than the nobles!

Already superior to others, they have become the embodiment of order destruction!

This is similar to the arrangement of his layout in the country of waves, but because the military power of the country of ghosts is constantly regulated above, it constantly restricts the group of civilians who are suffering from being exploited by the nobles in the country of waves, even if the nobles are overthrown, they can only obey honestly and dare not do some superfluous things.

The forces that are out of control must be controlled by more terrible violence, to sustain them, to teach them to establish a new order, and to educate them.

Let them learn and explore the nature of things, how to run the country, not let them run wild.

Indra also exclaimed:

"If I had seen through it earlier, maybe the tragedy of war would not have been born"
