Monitoring room.

The screen basically filled the corner of the room, and seven masked shadow ninjas stayed in the monitoring room, staring at the screen without blinking, trying to find something out of it.

However, they had been working here for about a hundred hours, and still had not been able to find any valuable information from the screens.

In the middle of the screen, a deep environment is presented, and a large iron door separates the inside from the outside world, where the headquarters of the root is located.

It is also the focus of the dark department today.

The rest of the locations, such as the remaining strongholds of the roots in Konoha, are also monitored without fail.

A short time later, the door to the monitoring room was pushed open, and Kakashi walked in from the outside.

It's not wearing a dark costume.,It's a Konoha Kaminobi costume.。

"Minister."

The shadow ninjas inside greeted Kakashi one after another.

"I'm just coming over and seeing, how is it, what's the matter, Tenzo?"

Kakashi looked at one of the shadow ninjas and called out his name.

"I haven't found anything for the time being, and the people at the root have been very honest during this time."

Tenzo took off his mask and sighed softly, as if disappointed by the result.

With the transfer of the Hokage's position, it is impossible for the root side not to get some rumors, but after getting these rumors, the people at the root are so calm that they feel like they are holding back some terrible killing move.

This kind of calm, in Tenzo's opinion, is not a good thing.

The current Konoha can't stand the toss anymore.

As a high-ranking member of the Shadow Division, he didn't want the Root to disturb the order of the village at such a critical time and cause any accidents during the handover ceremony of the Five Hokage.

It is true that the root leader Elder Tuanzang is very courageous, and in the past, during the Great Ninja War, he also made a lot of contributions to Konoha and made great achievements.

However, Tenzo didn't think that the other party could do the Hokage's job.

If the situation turns out to be like that, it could be very bad.

"Hokage-sama is very worried about the situation here, if you can, increase the scope of surveillance."

Kakashi Road.

"I don't think so, this is already the maximum monitoring range that the dark department can do, even if it is not much worse than the scale when the Uchiha clan was monitored at the beginning."

Tenzo replied.

Now the level of monitoring of the root by the dark department can't help but recall the huge surveillance operation of the dark department against the Uchiha clan a few years ago.

The level of surveillance of both is almost the same, both are the highest level, and more than half of the shadows are almost all involved in this operation.

This level of surveillance shows the degree of vigilance at the root and cannot be neglected.

Kakashi nodded, and he looked up at the surveillance footage on the screen around him, scanning it quickly.

"Get up, the minister will join the action next, right?"

Tenzo asked.

"Yes, but it's only temporary, and I'll have to take it out later, and I'm not sure when I'll officially come back."

Kakashi had no need to hide it.

"I thought that the work of mentoring the ninja under your guidance was directly over, minister."

Tenzo lamented.

After all, if Kakashi returns, the pressure on him will be much lessened. He alone coped with the work of the dark department, which was really a bit of a hurry.

"How is it possible, no matter what, at least it will have to wait for them to take charge alone."

Kakashi shook his head.

"Alone"

Tenzo sighed slightly.

In this way, at least until the three shinobi in the seventh class have all become middle ninjas, Kakashi's guidance of the upper ninja will end.

Otherwise, Xia Shinobi can't be called a one-man leader, at most a rookie.

It's okay in terms of strength, but if there is a flaw in the brain, it's a bit tricky. After all, the qualification standard of Zhongninja is not only based on strength, but also the extremely important ability to lead the team, as well as the basic ability to gather and transmit intelligence, must also meet the minimum standards.

"Take your time, I'll leave it to you here, I still have to go over and arrange it before I can put it into work.

"It's okay, anyway, we're watching here, and there won't be a problem for a while."

Tenzo nodded, earnestly committing.

Kakashi patted Tenzo on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and turned to leave the monitoring room.

The sky was overcast, and although it was not raining, there was no sunlight either.

In a park open space not far from the city, the members of the seventh class met here.

"Yo, how are you three resting these days?"

Seeing the familiar three immature faces, Kakashi rarely didn't deliberately be late, and said hello to the three.

"That's still useful, the body has already started to rust. Kakashi-sensei, let's go find Grandpa Hokage and take the mission! “

Naruto's energetic Dao was very excited.

Obviously, just resting in the past few days has made his excess energy nowhere to vent, and he has long wanted to continue to show his strength.

Sasuke snorted, he had the same idea.

The injuries on his body that were tortured by the weasel are almost recovered, and he can take on the task at any time.

"It's good to be motivated, but I probably won't have time for you next."

Kakashi looked at the trio.

"Why?"

Not only did Naruto blink in confusion, but Sakura also looked at Kakashi in confusion.

Only Sasuke seemed to think of something, and his brow furrowed.

"There's not so much why, after all, I have my own things to do. Also, one more thing to congratulate. ”

"Congratulations?

"yes, congratulations to Sasuke for becoming a shinobi."

Kakashi said with a smile as he took out the Hokage's official letter of appointment from his ninja bag.

"W-What, Nakashinobi!?"

Naruto's eyes widened in astonishment, and Sasuke, who looked at him in disbelief and slightly surprised, then calmed down, and cried out.

"Has Sasuke become a shinobi?"

Sakura had surprise in her eyes, and the way she looked at Sasuke made her even more sparkling.

Becoming a middle ninja just half a year after graduating is a very rare thing in the village.

"So, what about me?"

Naruto asked hurriedly.

"Of course I didn't make it.

Kakashi put the letter of appointment in Sa's assistant and said to Naruto without hesitation.

Naruto looked dissatisfied, as if he was thinking something, Kakashi interrupted, "You didn't pass the previous exam, and the basics were too poor, so I'll give you this next, and I will make up for it." “

Kakashi pulled out a heavy book out of nowhere and solemnly placed it in front of Naruto.

"What is this?"

Naruto took the heavy book in a daze, forgetting the words for a moment.

"Basic knowledge and basic theoretical knowledge about ninjas, if you want to be a good Hokage, this is something you must know."

Kakashi touched Naruto's head and said softly.

Naruto was still slightly dissatisfied, but no matter how unwilling he was, he still nodded, looking a little lost.

"Let's do our best. In addition, I have some things to do for a while recently, and in the meantime, Hokage-sama will arrange for another shinobi to guide you. ”

"Another upper ninja? Who? “

Naruto cleaned up his mood and quickly walked out of the depression of Sasuke's promotion to a middle shinobi and looked up and asked.

Kakashi turned to the side, just as a man approached him.

is an adult male about Kakashi's age.

Dressed in a black tight-fitting ninja suit, with a black headscarf wrapped around her hair, and a pair of sunglasses on her face, she gives a simple and capable impression.

"It's me."

"Ahh

Naruto seemed to recognize the identity of the other party, and pointed at the sudden appearance of Konoha and couldn't help but speak.

"Do you know Ebisu Kaminobu, Naruto?"

Kakashi was surprised when he saw Naruto's reaction.

"Of course, he's been defeated by my seduction before, and I've been in the bookstore more than once to sneak him to buy those!"

Halfway through Naruto's words, he was rushed up by Ebisu and covered his mouth.

"After that, please have a meal of Ichiraku ramen, don't get out of my business!"

Ebisu said with a smile in Naruto's ear.

He didn't want his glorious past to be known to his colleagues and lovely juniors.

"Ten tons!"

Naruto opened his mouth directly.

"No, three meals at most, don't be too complacent, little ghost!"

"Deal."

The whispered exchange ended, and a dirty deal ended.

Seeing Naruto and Ebisu whispering there, the other three were puzzled.

It seems that the relationship between the two of them is quite good.

"Do you know each other?"

Kakashi asked again.

"Hahaha, what's the matter, that's really a bad fate."

Slapping Naruto on the back vigorously, Ebisu laughed exaggeratedly, leaving Naruto speechless.

In fact, he and Ebisu are not particularly familiar, and they can only be regarded as acquaintances.

But he understands this, this guy is a big pervert who is not inferior to a lustful fairy.

I couldn't understand the strangeness inside, Kakashi didn't care, so he said, "Then, during this period, I'll leave it to you, Ebisu." “

"Don't worry, the three of them will be arranged by me. Anyway, Young Master Sun has been busy with his homework recently, so I just happened to be idle here. ”

Ebisu nodded in agreement.

"Young Master Sun?"

Sasuke seemed interested.

"It's Konohamaru."

Naruto replied.

"Konohamaru, I think it's Hokage-sama's grandson."

Sasuke thought of something, and a mischievous imp face emerged.

He knew that the third generation Hokage had a grandson named Konohamaru, who was a very naughty child.

"That's right, I'm Young Master Sun's tutor Konoha Maru, and I'm also a special shinobi in the village who is proficient in education."

Ebisu pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a proud tone.

"Do you still have the ability to do this?"

Sasuke was surprised.

He knows that the special upper forbearance is strict, and it can be regarded as a product between the middle and upper forbearance.

To put it simply, it means that a certain ability is particularly outstanding in the middle of the ninja, and it can be promoted to a special upper ninja.

But the outstanding educational ability is particularly shangnin, and it is the first time he has heard it.

"That's it, Ebisu Kaminobu's educational ability in the village can be among the best. In this regard, even I am slightly inferior. You have to be obedient. ”

Kakashi added.

Not at all.

This is the common thought of the three of Sasuke.

The three of them are deeply aware of Kakashi's abilities, and because of this, they can't imagine that among the Kamishinobi, there is a Kashinobi who is better at educating than Kakashi.

However, even though they were suspicious, Kakashi only temporarily handed over the leadership of the seventh shift to Ebisu, and then left in a hurry.

There's still a lot going on over there in the shadows, and he doesn't have time to waste here.

"Then again, what the hell is Kakashi-sensei going to do, leaving so suddenly"

Naruto looked curious.

"Maybe there's something going on in the shadows. However, this has nothing to do with you, so you can take my special training. ”

Ebisu interrupted the trio's musings and brought the three of them back to their senses.

"I don't need to, even if I can practice alone."

Without waiting for Ebisu to start working, Sasuke refused Ebisu's request, raised his feet and quickly left, and went to practice alone.

In his opinion, Ebisu, a special shinobi with low strength, couldn't teach him anything useful at all.

In Ebisu, he didn't feel an invincible sense of oppression, and although he might not be able to win one-on-one, he was just a very weak shinobi after all.

With this time, he can complete his cultivation by himself, without the help of Ebisu.

"Damn! Still doesn't work... If it goes on like this, it's no match for that guy at all..."

A clearing in the woods, full of potholes, and traces of burning flames and lightning slashing, Sasuke stood panting in the middle of the clearing, dissipating the electric light in his hands, always feeling that his current self was still a little missing.

Especially not long ago, after seeing Rong again, he became more and more dissatisfied with his current strength, even if he used Orochimaru's curse mark, in front of Itachi, he was powerless to fight back.

Not only that, but the illusion that controlled his mind in an instant...... Sasuke shuddered when he thought about it, Sasuke Mingzi, he not only had to make breakthroughs in ninjutsu and physical arts, but also strive for excellence in illusion and make greater breakthroughs.

Because his physical skills and ninjutsu have temporarily reached a bottleneck, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, and his only shortcoming now is illusion.

As long as the ability of illusion is improved, his strength can leap up a bit.

Otherwise, the next time you will still be played with by the illusion of melting.

Moreover, next time he may not be so lucky to retreat safely.

However, it is so easy to make a breakthrough in illusion.

Especially the illusion of the writing wheel eye, among Konoha, apart from him, there is no second person who has the writing wheel eye.

In this way, I can only settle for the next best thing and find a shinobi who is proficient in illusion to help me.

Sasuke's first thought was Sunset Red.

Although the opponent's illusion attainments are not as good as Itachi's, the opponent is undoubtedly a ninja with a specialty in illusion, which can save him many detours in illusion.

It's just that... The other party is not the instructor of the seventh class, and it was only a few words before, and the guidance of illusion is not overnight, so it is rude to ask others in the past, even Sasuke feels impolite.

In addition, among the upper ninjas he knew, he couldn't find a second upper ninja who was good at illusions.

Sasuke rubbed his forehead with a headache, since he couldn't find an illusion ninja to teach him for the time being, then, he could only continue to practice ninjutsu and body arts, and he couldn't waste time.

Illusion thing,It's better to wait until you find a suitable forbearance later.。

At that moment, I heard footsteps.

Sasuke turned his head to look at it with a stunned expression.

"It's you."

The person who came was none other than Ebisu.

"I've already taken care of Naruto and Sakura, and only the hardest thing is left, Sasuke Uchiha."

Ebisu smiled, not seemingly noticing the dissatisfaction in Sasuke's eyes.

Maybe he thinks that following him to cultivate is a suspicion of wasting time.

And Sasuke was surprised by Ebisu's words, Sakura forgot it, Naruto was quite a difficult person to handle.

However, had he won Naruto's affirmation less than two hours before he left?

Or, are you bragging?

"I don't need it, I'll take care of my own affairs."

The implication is that you are useless to me.

Although this kind of words may sound a little hurtful, Sasuke is expressing exactly this kind of meaning.

"Actually, I don't like teaching you such an arrogant imp very much, but I can't help it, this is Hokage-sama, and Kakashi's request,

I reluctantly came to guide you. ”

Ebisu said.

"I'm sorry about that, turn down their kindness for me."

Sasuke's tone was calm.

"Impossible, it's all a mission. If you can't get you to accept my guidance, then the mission is tantamount to failure. This is quite a blow to me, an elite teacher. ”

””

Sasuke fell silent, the dissatisfaction on his face overflowing.

"Okay then, let's have a real combat exercise. If I accidentally win, how about you accept my guidance? ”

Ebisu proposed.

"Waste of time. However, it's not bad to accumulate combat experience with the upper ninja. “

Although Sasuke's guidance and joshinobi fought very hard, he felt that he had the confidence to win.

"I don't hate imps who are overconfident." Ebisu smiled slightly, looked at the traces around him and said, "Do you need to take a break?" “

"No, my chakra and stamina are sufficient. I'll send you away before it's too late. “

Sasuke doesn't continue to cultivate, but rests for a while at intervals, as long as he doesn't go too far, Chakra and physical strength are still very abundant.

"In that case, I can't afford to lose this contest."

Ebisu nodded, walked to a position about four meters in front of Sasuke and stopped, with a smile on his face, and his eyes behind his sunglasses stared at Sasuke's whole body,

Take a closer look.

"Can we start?"

Sasuke opens the Sharingan.

Although he is a special shinobi who is good at education, he is also a member of the upper ninja in the end, so Sasuke planned to go all out from the beginning and did not dare to be careless.

"Anytime."

As soon as Ebisu's words fell, Sasuke's figure disappeared from his eyes.

When he reappeared, he had already leapt in front of him, raised and threw a punch.

Ebisu reached out and flicked Sasuke's arm aside, and the fist hit the air.

Sasuke's center of gravity is also a little unsteady on his feet because of Ebisu's movements.

Then, Ebisu swept out a leg, and Sasuke's body suddenly slanted to the ground.

As a last resort, Sasuke pressed his palm to the ground, flipped it back, stabilized his body, and looked at Ebisu in surprise.

With enhanced dynamic vision, Sasuke felt inexplicable that he would be seen through by the enemy and know his movements.

Moreover, his own writing wheel eye can't catch the other party's gaze.

In just two or three seconds of contact, Sasuke could feel that the other party had the ability to stagger his writing wheel eyes, and he would not be disturbed by his writing wheel eye illusion.

What the hell is going on? He shouldn't have written a chakra. Sasuke's face was cloudy.

"Why, are you hesitating?"

Ebisu asked with a smile.

"Don't be too aggressive!"

Sasuke snorted coldly and began to stimulate his body with the Thunder Chakra, so that the cells in his body were in a state of high-intensity activation.

With such a strong level of cell activation, he didn't believe that Ebisu would be able to cope with it easily.

Syllable!

Ebisu, who caught Sasuke's fist, couldn't help but step back.

Although he parried, Sasuke could feel that Ebisu was not particularly easy to parry.

Just looking at Ebisu who had mistaken his chakra again, Sasuke secretly gritted his teeth.

What the hell is going on with this guy?

Obviously not as fast and reflexive as Kakashi, but he can always get his writing wheel eye out of the way just right.

Once or twice is like this, and it can be regarded as an accident. But every time it's like this, it's not an accident how you look at it.

"You may not believe it, but I may know more about Sharingan than you."

Ebisu suddenly laughed and said something like this.

"No kidding!"

How can an outsider understand the power of the Sharingan.

This kind of words, Sasuke only thinks that this is a provocation by Ebisu, and wants to use it to interfere with his heart and make him mistake.

Sting. The soles of his feet rub against the ground, and Ebisu's body slides backwards and out.

Sasuke's body was flickering with electricity visible to the naked eye, like an electric snake wrapped around his body.

"Chidori? I didn't expect it to be applied like this, but you shouldn't be proficient in applying this trick. ”

As Kakashi Hachiki's specialty, Ebisu naturally knows Chidori's daimy.

Although Sasuke spreads Chidori's electric currents all over his body, .; But the essence has not changed, it has only morphosed into a dry bird. Therefore, Ebisu recognized it at a glance.

"It's enough to deal with you."

Sasuke's face was solemn, he underestimated Ebisu a little.

Unexpectedly, the other party has the ability to stagger his writing wheels, and in terms of physical skills, he can't take any advantage by using the writing wheels.

Even if you're good at education, you're a ninja in the end.

The shortcomings of the upper forbearance are also unattainable for the lower forbearance and the middle forbearance. Sasuke has a deeper understanding of this.

"Unfortunately, you're going to lose soon."

Ebisu's body relaxed, standing still and the whole person relaxed.

"Wake up from your dreams!"

The birdsong cried out, and Sasuke's body rushed towards Ebisu, intending to suppress the opponent's momentum in one go.

Just as his fist swung out, his body stiffened.

The surrounding scene suddenly swirled, and the earth, the trees, the sky, and even Ebisu's body became distorted, like a crooked canvas.

It's an illusion!?

Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief, when did he fall for the illusion?

Before he had time to think about it, Sasuke hurriedly injected Chakra into the eye of the writing wheel, and the pupil force was released, and his hands were sealed.

"Solution!"

The picture in front of me is starting to normalize.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Sasuke felt a sudden chill in his neck.

Ebisu disappeared from his eyes.

Under his neck, there was a cold kunai.

"You've lost."
