Looking at Zhixue rushing over, Zhisui relied on his height advantage to hold Zhixue's head with one hand to prevent her from getting closer.

"Hahaha, when I saw Itachi, I couldn't control my mouth. I almost forgot about you."

Zhixue:……

Zhisui brought Itachi here today not only to discuss matters about the ANBU captain, but also to let Itachi work together to develop the potential hidden in Zhixue.

Yesterday, Zhishui fully experienced Zhixue's monster-like and terrifying learning ability. So he wanted to invite a dozen or seven people to come over and teach them how to practice illusions. Although he also knows genjutsu, he is proficient in ninjutsu and fire escape. Although he holds the ultimate genjutsu: Betsutenjin in his hand, he can't take off his eyes and give it to Zhixue, right?

In the following time, apart from the sounds of Zhisui and Itachi chatting, Itachi helped Zhixue practice genjutsu. However, Zhixue, who had lost his experience card, always felt like he understood a lot of things Itachi told. I feel like I don’t understand.

After nearly half an hour of arduous training, Itachi couldn't help but hold his forehead while looking at Zhixue who still couldn't confuse a frog. Even if you don't use the Sharingan, it shouldn't be like this.

Maybe the talent Zhisui mentioned may be what he is good at. In terms of illusion, Zhixue's talent is hard to describe.

On the shore of the calm lake, Zhixue was sleeping soundly next to a big rock with a pillow in her arms. Zhisui was speechless when he looked at Zhixue, who was sleeping soundly, and Yidaqi, who was a little uncomfortable.

It feels like the snow is not as strong today as it was yesterday. Learned everything yesterday. Even the complicated teleportation technique took him a few minutes to master, but why is he so boastful about illusions? It stands to reason that 99% of Uchiha people with Sharingan have good illusion talent.

Zhisui and Itachi sat on the shore for a while. One dozen seven looked at Zhisui who was still thinking and couldn't help asking the questions in his heart.

"Zhisui, what happened to Zhixue?" The One to Seven knew that Zhixue had always been the last person and had almost no ninja talent. Zhisui gave up training Zhixue as a ninja a few years ago, and now Why suddenly...

Shisui smiled gently when he heard Itachi's question.

"Itachi-kun, do you believe in belated genius?"

Chapter 16, Searching for a Mission

After learning from Itachi that Zhixue's talent for illusion was poor, Zhisui did not give up. Instead, he personally taught Zhixue how to practice illusion after getting off work at night, but the results were very touching.

In desperation, Zhi Shui could only retreat and let Zhi Xue continue to practice ninjutsu and fire escape, inspiring Zhi Xue to become an excellent ninja in medium and short range combat. At the same time, Zhi Shui did not fall behind in terms of tactics. He often takes Zhixue to the woods to practice physical fitness and single-player tactics.

Although Zhisui could clearly feel that Zhixue's talent was much worse than the first time, it was much better than before. Shisui no longer asked for extravagant things. That explosive period may be the result of so many years of accumulation, otherwise it would be impossible to explain this behavior using common sense. However, what puzzles Zhi Shui is that Zhi Xue has been wearing these strange and obstructive clothes these days, and he can't even take them off. He often says to him: "Do you also want to dance in the thunder?"

Zhixue also got many things from the system's daily fishing rewards during these days of work, training, and home time, but most of them were of little use, such as white stockings, small toys, RC drones, cameras and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.

The only reward that can be considered a good thing is a skill called "Sword Mastery LV.3", which allows you to use swordsmanship more skillfully and strengthens Zhixue's melee combat ability. This is much faster than what Zhisui taught, but it can be upgraded to lv. .4 requires 98w taels, and Zhixue does not have the money for the time being.

"Oh, it's another day of fishing." Zhixue woke up from the bed and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. He felt very comfortable. Finally, he had finally passed this difficult week. She no longer has to wear that shameful maid outfit and endure all kinds of fiery looks. Although she has almost gotten used to it.

After washing up, Zhixue changed her pajamas into a ninja costume, had a nice breakfast, and went to work carrying a space scroll on her back.

However, this time after the shadow clone dealt with the work, Zhixue did not fish until night as usual, but used the camouflage technique to sneak out of the police box and ran towards the mission hall of the Hokage Building.

Even if there is a limit, there is still a limit to the night of genocide, but we still need to make money as soon as possible to become stronger. If it were not for the maid costume, Zhixue would probably have enough money in hand to upgrade now. Mastered swordsmanship.

Secretly arriving at the mission hall, Zhixue threw the camouflage cloth aside, arranged his clothes, and walked in through the door.

There are not many ninjas here at this time, because the mission cycle of general ninjas is very long, it can take as little as half a day, and as long as it takes more than a month, and it is now past 8 o'clock, even if there are ninjas who come to accept the mission entrustment. It was done as early as the morning.

"Uncle, give me a C-level mission!"

The ninja on the mission table put down the book in his hand, looked at the cute and handsome kid in front of him, and asked: "Kid, where are your team leader and teammates?"

"I don't have a team leader, it's just me."

"You are the only one..." Looking at Zhixue's clear and expectant eyes, the uncle scratched his head in embarrassment. If there is only one genin and no one forms a team, the regulations are that only the safest D is allowed to be picked up. Level missions, C-level missions require at least three genin or chuunin to lead a team to accept them.

"As for C-level missions, we don't have them for the time being. Why don't we go check out some D-level missions? There's not much difference between the two missions." The uncle took off a few yellow card commissions from the wall and put them on the table.

Zhixue looked at the yellow card on the table and glanced at it, cleaning, driving away wild boars, dredging rivers, and harvesting wheat fields. Not only are the tasks not exciting, but the amount of rewards is pitifully small, none of them are more than 2.

"Uncle, don't you have a mission with a bigger reward?"

"Yes, yes, but you, a little girl, are not suitable for this."

"What, there are still things I'm not suitable for, show me." Zhixue felt a little angry when she heard the uncle in front of her saying that she was not good, and asked the uncle to take out the task, but when she saw that the task was to clear the sewer , the momentum instantly deflated.

That...this is indeed a hard job, and it also stinks. She, a beautiful girl in her prime, should not do this.

Looking at the 5 bounty, Zhixue swallowed. Although the bounty was large, it was not appropriate.

"Uncle, can't you be accommodating and accept the C-level mission? Okay." Zhixue activated his shameless special skill "Being Cute", lying on the counter, his big bright eyes flashing and exuding his unique charm.

"Ah this..." Seeing such a beautiful and cute little girl acting cute and coquettishly towards him, the uncle's face turned red and he scratched his head, but rules were rules. And judging from the fact that this kid has just become a ninja, he probably has a risk of serious injury and death if he participates in a risky C-level mission.

"No, the rules are rules. If you really want to complete the mission, you need two genin to form a team with you or find a chuunin to lead the team."

Zhixue:……

Alas, it really still doesn’t work, right?

Zhixue sighed, but just when she was about to give up, a rickety old man carrying a big pot came to the mission hall. The uncle was also surprised when he saw the old man.

"It's Master Gusuke. Do you need anything when you come here?"

Zhixue turned to look at the little old man, Gu Jie? This name seems a bit familiar, I think I've heard of it before. (The protagonist has not finished watching Naruto.)

"Ah, there's no need to call me sir, I'm just a genin. I came here just because the pot broke a few days ago and I need to do some tasks to replace it with a better new one." Kosuke Maruboshi took down the big pot behind him. , patted it, and the scattered dust choked Zhixue and coughed several times.

The pot Gu Jie needs is naturally not an ordinary cooking pot, but one made of special chakra conductive metal essence, which is naturally expensive. Otherwise, he wouldn't appear in the mission hall. However, it is a great spectacle that a veteran like him can come to take over the mission.

"Ahem, old man, could you please consider that there is someone else next to you?" Zhixue said while coughing as he fanned the air around him.

"Hey, why does this kid look a bit like a person?" At first, Gu Jie didn't care about Zhixue, but when he saw Zhixue's cute appearance with a hint of familiarity, Kosuke seemed to recall an Uchiha who, although he was not in the same class as him when he was young, was admired by his fiery and sincere will of fire.

Is this kid a descendant of Uchiha Kagami?

(The author hasn’t watched Naruto for a long time, so there may be some changes in the timeline of this book, so readers, please be considerate.)

Chapter 17, Orochimaru's Defection

In the mission hall, Maruhoshi Kosuke took a blue card from his uncle's hand. The mission marked on it was a B-level commission. The bounty was probably enough to buy a new pot.

Zhixue stood up on tiptoes curiously and came to Gu Jie's side. She became depressed after seeing that the mission was B-level.

"Hey, uncle, we are both Konoha genin, how can you treat me differently? I am also a genin..." Zhixue thought in his mind that an old genin who is nearly seventy years old can accept B-level mission commissions by himself. How could she, a young man in his prime, only be able to do D-level tasks such as planting trees and finding small animals? Even if it’s a C-level mission...

……

Konoha back mountain…

This is a huge forest, behind Konoha's majestic Hokage rock wall. In addition to various small animals living here (the beasts have been killed by ninjas) in the lush and lush forest, there are also many different animals. A well-known secret.

Da da da…

Deep in this peaceful forest, a moss-covered door is filled with winding roads. The dark and silent path leads to an extremely wide space, with huge nutrition cabins filled with Nutrient solution and dozens of children who don’t know whether they are alive or dead.

However, a few kilometers away, an armored old man appeared here with dozens of ANBU.

"Orochimaru, you still embarked on this path..."

In the hidden laboratory, Orochimaru sighed as he looked at yet another nutrient chamber in which Hashirama's cells could not be controlled, resulting in the death of the experimental subject.

"Although children's bodies are suitable for Hashirama cell transplantation, their physical strength is too weak. Even if they are provided with sufficient nutrition, they cannot withstand the powerful cells. After the transplantation, not one of the 100 children survived. What a powerful force.”

While Orochimaru was still sorting out information and preparing to go to Danzo to borrow some more children and pocket money, a small gray snake came in from the corner, crawled along his feet and reached Orochimaru's ear.

"What!?"

After hearing the news from the little snake, Orochimaru's face changed with shock. He then used Fire Release to burn the information in his hand to ashes. Then he picked up the sword on the side and put some important things into the space scroll before leaving, but in When he reached the door, Orochimaru was startled by the sudden light.

Wearing black armor, Hiruzen Sarutobi and several ANBU wearing masks broke in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with his cloudy eyes, his expression a little complicated.

"Orochimaru, although you are my disciple, human experimentation was strictly prohibited by Konoha a few years ago. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this!?"

"Hehehe, Mr. Sarutobi, you know me. In order to seek the truth, what does this mean? And, Mr. Sarutobi, do you...really want to kill me?" Orochimaru smiled at the corner of his mouth. , hands formed a seal, a fierce wind blew from the center, and with the violent vibration of the air, all the glass instruments in the laboratory were shattered. The precious potions were scattered all over the floor, and the chandelier hanging on the ceiling gradually cracked into pieces. fragments.

The surrounding Anbu were so shocked that their chakra stagnated and their bodies collapsed on the ground, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was no exception.

Orochimaru even ran past Sarutobi Hiruzen through this gap.

"Hokage-sama, you..." ANBU Kakashi looked dumbfounded at Orochimaru who was leaving.

Hokage-sama is so strong, how could he be manipulated by such small means.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not affected for too long. When Orochimaru passed by him, he could instantly channel the monkey demon to give this uncoordinated disciple a set of damaging and explosive cages + fire. In such a narrow passage, the hit rate was almost 100%, but at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated again.

According to the laws of Konoha, even if Orochimaru is his disciple, it is a serious crime that must be executed, but can he really watch the disciple he has trained for so many years die with his own eyes? Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know.

After a short period of recovery, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from the ground and said to the ANBU around him.

"It's my fault this time, I couldn't stop him, but Orochimaru possesses dangerous forbidden techniques and information, as well as a lot of important information about Konoha. I must not let him escape from Konoha's control this time! Kakashi , after you recover with Team 6, immediately follow Orochimaru’s trail, and when I gather the ninjas, chase after him immediately.”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

……

After Orochimaru defected, many ninjas were mobilized that day to hunt down Orochimaru's whereabouts. Many ninjas were walking on the streets and on the rafters, murderous and terrifying.

After mobilizing the ninja pursuit force, Maruhoshi Kosuke, who was still in the mission hall, was personally mobilized by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing Kosuke Maruhoshi being invited away by the ANBU, Zhixue scratched his head strangely.

I always feel like this old genin guy seems to have a good background. As expected, it was different from ordinary genin like her.

Since there were only D-level missions, Zhixue could only choose the taller one among the short ones to pick up the task of transporting a short-distance convoy to the nearby village market and left here.

However, Zhixue was slightly surprised when she saw the large number of ninjas outside.

What happened?

"Have you heard? Lord Hokage's disciple, Orochimaru, has defected."

"What? That's the Hokage's disciple. Why did you defect? ​​Isn't it bad to be famous and powerful in Konoha?"

"I don't know. The reason for the defection is unclear. My friends in the ANBU are also very mysterious and seem not to be allowed to talk about it."

Zhixue raised his eyebrows when he heard the rumors nearby.

Oh, it turns out that Uncle Snake hasn't defected yet. But it's better that he left, otherwise he might steal a child for experiments. She wouldn't feel at ease walking on the street at night. Although with her reputation as a laggard, Uncle Snake probably wouldn't look down on her.

call out!

Several dark shadows of ANBU rushed over from the roof, and Zhixue also looked over there curiously, and then received two fingers.

"Ouch! Why are you here?" Zhixue covered her red forehead and looked at Zhishui resentfully and said.

"I should ask you this. Aren't you at the police box? Why did you run out?" Zhisui took off his mask and said scoldingly.

"Emmm, there is already a shadow clone there, so it shouldn't be considered as skipping work, right? And it's so boring to stay in there. Wouldn't it be nice to go out and do some tasks? Hehe." Zhixue shook the sign in his hand, which seemed very interesting. Happy look.
