Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 282 Sasuke IF Line (4) Listen to you, Anbu and Assessment
Naruto was startled, and Sakura, who was hiding, also screamed.

Sasuke pouted.

Two idiots
The plasma is so fake, and the wounds after death are not realistic enough.

As expected, he used clones from the very beginning.

Even though he had a face that looked as if he was worse than death, a jonin was still a jonin. The most basic three-body technique could produce such an effect in his hands. However, even if he didn't have these eyes, he wouldn't be fooled by such a simple trick.

Where are the people?
The Sharingan rotates left and right, front and back.
No!

Although there was some movement in the woods, it was caused by Haruno Sakura.

Above?

Sasuke subconsciously looked up and fought with the god of death. Some guys who practiced swordsmanship liked to jump and chop. This was a habit he developed after fighting for a long time.

But not this time.

After all, being a ninja is not an honorable and upright profession.

So down there!

Sasuke raised his hand and stabbed downward.

The blade sunk into the earth, forcing a figure to jump out of the dirt behind Sasuke.

"It's really hard to imagine that you just graduated from the Ninja School." Kakashi shook his head, his eyes full of admiration, "You are worthy of being an Uchiha."

"but."

"Don't be so loud when your talent hasn't been fulfilled yet."

"Let the teacher teach you a lesson."

"Come to think of it, when I was your age, I was also good with a ninja sword."

He hooked his hands together and pulled out two shurikens from his bag.

Close combat!

Shurikens and Zanpakuto clashed, and swords clashed.

Kakashi's face gradually became serious.

What a fierce swordsmanship!
Sasuke's swordsmanship is based on "secret maneuvers" and the pursuit of "killing with one strike". He tries to avoid frontal combat if possible.

This is a sword technique for killing, not a sword technique for fighting.

"Assassination swordsmanship" is not very popular in Soul Society. After all, it serves the purpose of "secrecy" and its ability in frontal combat is weaker than other swordsmanship.

Can.
There is no distinction between high and low skills.

This is even more true for swordsmanship; the user is the decisive factor in whether the sword is powerful or not.

Sasuke, who has the "Sharingan", is a master of the "assassinating sword technique".

Kakashi was under a lot of pressure.

Fighting and struggling, Sasuke's swordsmanship walked on a tightrope, each sword strike aimed at the vital points, even at the cost of exposing his own flaws.

Of course, even though we know it is a flaw, it is not easy to catch it.

The high insight of the Sharingan makes up for this shortcoming to a great extent.

at least
Even if he didn't let Sasuke win and really fought one-on-one with him, it would be difficult to seize these flaws, and he might even have to pay a heavy price. But wouldn't this be exactly what Sasuke wanted?

Not to mention that now it’s just a competition, not a fight.

Uchiha Sasuke's talent is much higher than he expected.

"Looks like I have to show some real skills." Kakashi turned around, fought with two strong swords, withdrew from the battlefield, and threw down the broken shuriken. "Sharingan, this special bloodline limit--"

"As expected, the only way to deal with it is with the Sharingan."

Sasuke was stunned.

What do you mean?
The Sharingan can only use the Sharingan.

It seems like he has the blood of the Uchiha clan.
He thought so.

Kakashi raised his right hand, grabbed the forehead protector, and pulled it up, revealing a scarlet eye.

Three Magatama Sharingan.

"How come you have the Sharingan!" Sasuke was surprised and clenched the knife in his hand.

I remember clearly that Kakashi's last name is Hatake, and there is almost no marriage outside the Uchiha clan, so there is no "Uchiha bloodline" that is not from the "Uchiha clan".

yes.
Was it one of the three magatama Sharingan that was allegedly "taken away by Uchiha Itachi" that night?

"It's a little hard to explain." Kakashi scratched his head, "Let's deal with the drill first."

"Talk about it"

"I have a nickname, it's Sharingan Kakashi."

Sasuke gripped the knife even tighter, his fingertips turning white.

Difficult to explain?

This ambiguous answer made him subconsciously lean towards his own bad thoughts.

"Really?" Sasuke took a deep breath and bent his waist, "I'll let you tell it yourself."

"Besides, you made the biggest mistake."

"Using the Sharingan in front of the Uchiha clan"

Without reservation, he leaped forward in an instant.

Kakashi's eyes were swirling.

It's faster!
Instant body?

He is truly worthy of being a member of the Uchiha clan. He can reach this level by training alone.

Even the Sharingan couldn't catch it.

With half vision and half experience, Kakashi hastily took out two shurikens again to block the attack.

Sparks flew with every grunt.

At the same time, a ball of scorching flame condensed in Sasuke's head.

Kakashi's pupils dilated.

Seal with one hand?

When, so soon?
In Sasuke's palm, a ball of scorching fire appeared.

This never-before-seen Fire Style is the secret technique of the Uchiha clan?

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

This "Sharingan" is very important to me.

But even so, he still remembered not to reveal too much information about Soul Society, and did not use those methods that seemed not suitable for him to use.

And now this.
"Broken Path No. 31, Red Fire Cannon."

It looks not much different from Fire Style Ninjutsu. The Uchiha clan is famous for "Fire Style", so using it will not attract much attention.

Kakashi let go and instantly jumped into the air.

The fireball burst out with a bang, and the wind pressure hit the trees.

The tall trunk was instantly burned to ashes, and after it became hollow, the top staggered and fell down.

"What a powerful Fire Style." Kakashi exclaimed, squatting on a branch.

Before he could even begin to praise, a knife stabbed upward from below, piercing through the branches mercilessly.

Several rounds of fighting.

Kakashi frowned.

Sasuke becomes more dangerous.

The target is no longer the bell hung around your waist, but yourself.

His knife skills seemed to be desperate to hurt himself, as if they were filled with hatred, as if today only one person would be left standing between the two of them.

why?
Because of the "Sharingan"?
Kakashi remembered that a few years ago, Sasuke had consulted the village about why those dead Uchiha clan members had lost their eyes.

"You may have some misunderstandings." He grinned, fought a few times, and then let go, "This eye of mine is a gift from a friend."

"this matter"

"He was once the patriarch of the Uchiha clan. Your father knows that it was thanks to him that I was able to keep this eye."

Sasuke's expression softened.

Gifts from friends.
Although the truth of this statement cannot be verified for the time being, it is at least an acceptable reason.

"Is that so?" He asked softly, but his knife did not slow down. Instead, he seized the opportunity and chopped a few more times fiercely.

The two of them did not remain deadlocked for too long.

After verifying Sasuke's ability and confirming that his tactical mind, experience, and ability far surpassed those of his peers, and were even not inferior to those of himself, Kakashi exposed his flaw and let Sasuke take the bell from his waist.

after all
The real purpose of this test is not to prevent the bell from being taken away by others.

Sasuke got the bell and stepped aside.

Only two people remained.

One is Uzumaki Naruto, who has physical talent but no brains, can't use this talent, and has no fighting mindset. The other one has some brains, but mediocre talent.

Until the alarm rang, neither of them was able to get another bell.

Naruto was so nervous that his face turned pale, and Haruno Sakura was also trembling and at a loss.

Originally
The news that "only two out of three can graduate" made them very nervous. As a result, after the survival exercise, they found that the truth might be even sadder. Two graduation places does not mean that two people will definitely graduate.

Kakashi tilted his head, looking at the three of them.

"Uchiha Sasuke's performance is outstanding. It is rare to have such strength at this grade, even in the war era."

"how to say"

"As long as you fight in a few actual battles and meet the requirements for missions, you will become an excellent jonin."

Naruto and Sakura Haruno subconsciously shook their heads and looked at Sasuke.

Upper.Jounin?

That's the same level as Kakashi-sensei.

He is obviously the same age as me and just graduated from school like me.

Is the gap so big?
"As for the remaining two." Kakashi shook his head and sighed, "Your performance is very disappointing."

"Naruto has no qualities as a ninja, but he is brave. At least he didn't back down."

"As for Haruno Sakura"

Kakashi was silent for a while, then shook his head: "After all, he just graduated from the ninja school, so we can't be too harsh on him."

As he spoke, he picked up the last bell.

"So, the final result is——"

His tone suddenly changed and became serious: "No one is qualified, including Uchiha Sasuke."

The three of them were stunned, and Naruto and Haruno Sakura were even more surprised than Sasuke.

"Sasuke is not qualified either?" Haruno Sakura retorted subconsciously, just like every person with a love brain, "But he got the bell."

"why is it like this?"

Kakashi swung the bell, making it jingle. "Have you ever wondered why newly graduated Genin have to work in groups of three?"

"Because you are not strong enough and have insufficient experience, you are grouped together and have to work as a team to cope with the duties and tasks of a ninja."

"Compared to your performance just now, do you have any sense of teamwork?"

Haruno Sakura was indignant: "It was you who said, Kakashi-sensei, that only two of the three can get the bell."

"So even so, when facing a strong enemy and a task that is almost impossible for you to complete, you don't consider cooperating first and then distributing the bells?" Kakashi interrupted him with a flat and indifferent tone.

Haruno Sakura was speechless.

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Sasuke: "And Sasuke, your personal strength is indeed excellent."

"But, when you have the ability to share some of the pressure for your future teammates, why don't you take action?"

"Maybe with your help, they both have a chance to get the bell."

Sasuke froze, staring at Kakashi.

What the hell are you talking about!
If it was in the Gotei 13.
If someone gives you a task, and when you finish the task, suddenly says that there is actually another requirement to complete the task, then this person's head will definitely be on Shifengyuan Yoruichi's desk that night.

Someone who doesn't even understand his "mission" is not qualified to be the god of death.

"Oh." Uchiha Sasuke nodded calmly, threw the bell in his hand to the ground casually, turned and left without saying anything more.

this reaction
Instead, Kakashi was a little overwhelmed.

"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Kakashi called out to him.

Sasuke continued to walk forward, tilting his head slightly, "Didn't you say you were unqualified?"

"you're right."

From what I feel now, Kakashi is not a qualified leader. He can even go back on his word on a mission.
And I don't need him.

Ninjutsu?

I have already learned how to break the Tao.

Sword skills?
Kakashi does seem to know a little bit, but he probably hasn't used a sword for many years, so he's a little unfamiliar with the technique. It's hard to say who has better swordsmanship between him and me.

As for the Sharingan.
joke.

Do the Uchiha clan need to learn how to use bloodline limits from others?
His eyes were transplanted.

But Uchiha is born that way.

It is better to practice the skills of playing ninja, even if you are alone, it is worse than working under such a person. Moreover, I have proved my talent, and now I accept this result calmly. I will not and cannot be the one who is anxious.

Kakashi opened his mouth, his eyes glazed over.

this.
This kind of development is wrong!
After knowing that you fail, shouldn't the right reaction be to reflect and then correct yourself?

How can you accept this result so frankly?

That's not right.

In addition to Naruto and Sasuke, he has also tested some students. After finding out that they were eliminated by him, those people burst into tears, regretted and felt annoyed, and some even wanted to kill him.

Such a bland reaction.
Sasuke was the first.

This unexpected and almost impossible thing made him a little confused about what to do.

Call him to stop?

Tell them that you don’t really want to eliminate them, it’s just a small lesson, I want them to know the importance of teamwork. There will be a small test later, and after they already know about “teamwork”, they can almost certainly pass it.

But if that’s the case, is there any point in the test?
He was conflicted.

Sasuke left without any reluctance.

Naruto and Haruno Sakura stared at each other.

Even Sasuke was eliminated.
If they are in despair, then I will definitely have no chance.

Kakashi scratched his head, stared at the direction where Sasuke was walking away, and sighed softly.

Hokage Building.

Kakashi honestly reported to the Third Hokage what happened today.

"Sasuke was eliminated?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi in disbelief.

This ninja, who had been famous for a long time and had a great reputation in the ninja world, nodded helplessly.

He felt somewhat confused and aggrieved.

This was the assessment method that his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, had used on them. It was very effective at the time and left a deep impression on him. Now that he had copied it intact, how could it have the opposite effect?

The Third Hokage sighed, looked at Kakashi, and shook his head: "Since you have already issued this order, you cannot withdraw it, otherwise you will lose your qualifications as a guiding jonin."

Kakashi bowed his head.

"Then let the three of them settle down for another year." The Third Hokage thought for a while and said softly, "It's just one year, it won't delay anything."

“It’s just a pity”

He wondered if Kakashi would still be able to serve as the guiding jonin to these three next year.

The test questions have been confirmed
If they don't follow Kakashi's request, can Kakashi deny himself from a year ago?

And this year there will be the joint Chunin exam with the Japanese country.

Sasuke has the ability of a jonin, which is a powerful weapon.

Unfortunately it can't be used.

Kakashi nodded and left in a daze. He was a little confused as to why he couldn't do anything successfully.

The Third Hokage smoked his pipe.

The door was pushed open.

"I heard about Uchiha Sasuke." Before the person outside the door came in, the voice came in first, "Huruzen, you should leave guys like this to me."

"This is our last pair of Sharingan. We must take good care of it."

The Third Hokage interrupted him: "Have you forgotten that man?"

Danzo paused: "I just want to train him to be a sharp weapon for Konoha. Isn't that what that man thinks too?"

"No need, let him study for another year." The Third Hokage shook his head, "Sasuke is the best thing on the surface."

Danzo sneered: "If I could, would I make such a request to you?"

The Third Hokage was stunned.

What does it mean?
"Sasuke doesn't plan to go back to the Ninja School." Danzo said calmly, "Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura have both reported back to the Ninja School, but Sasuke has returned to the Uchiha residence and refused the Ninja School teacher's request for him to go back for repeating his studies."

The Third Hokage stood up suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Not going back to Ninja School?
Does this mean you don't want to be a ninja?

"Huruzen, this is the only thing we can do now." Danzo leaned forward, his tone sharp and mixed with a hint of pride.

Of course there is another option, which is non-interference.

But Konoha could not accept that such an outstanding Uchiha would not become a ninja, even if it was passive.

"Then the Anbu should come." The Third Hokage took a few puffs of his pipe and glanced at Danzo, "You don't need to do anything about this, just let the Anbu come."

Danzo grinned, didn't refute, just nodded, and stepped back.

"Roots" are also part of the dark part.

What is the difference between removing the "dark areas" and removing the "roots"?
Those living Sharingans will be mine sooner or later.

Uchiha house.

Sasuke continued to train. Outside the dilapidated house, a breath was beating. It was the Anbu who were responsible for monitoring him daily. In the past, they had been hiding outside the yard, but now they were "restless" and wanted to come in.

He stopped and stared straight in that direction.

Use actions to tell that person: "I found you."

The ANBU moved, adjusting his position, and Sasuke's eyes followed.

He suddenly realized and came out instantly.

"Uchiha Sasuke, have you discovered me?" the Anbu asked.

Sasuke nodded, "Did the Hokage ask you to come?"

"How clever." The ANBU said in a cold tone, with a look of surprise beneath his mask, "Hokage-sama has ordered you to meet him at the Hokage building."

Seeing Sasuke's expression, it was not difficult for him to guess what the boy was thinking.

So bold?

That's amazing.

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets.

really
It is exactly the same as what I guessed.

Konoha couldn't bear to part with an Uchiha like itself.

Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage stared at Uchiha Sasuke and said in a gentle tone: "I haven't seen you for a few years. Sasuke, you have changed a lot."

Sasuke said nothing.

As far as he could remember, his relationship with the Third Hokage was not very good. He had only met him once when the Uchiha clan was exterminated and he questioned the whereabouts of the Sharingan.

"Speaking of your name, it was Fuqiu and Mikoto who gave it to me in homage to my father." The Third Hokage said in a gentle voice, still trying to draw a connection.

Sasuke still didn't answer.

The Third Hokage smiled and said, "I heard that you refused to return to the ninja school. What's the reason?"

"Don't say that." Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, shook his head, and got straight to the point, "We all know why you asked me to come here."

"Now it's my choice not to become a ninja."

The Third Hokage picked up the pipe, narrowed his eyes, and took a deep puff: "What do you want?"

Since Sasuke was so straightforward, he had no choice but to be more direct.

"I want a jutsu, not an ordinary jutsu, but one that can make me stronger." Sasuke said, not hiding the ambition in his eyes, "And the information about Uchiha Itachi."

"I want to know where he is now and what his strength has reached."

The Third Hokage looked at him and was silent for a while: "You want revenge?"

"Of course." Sasuke said decisively, "I will kill that man myself."

The three-magatama Sharingan in his eyes oozed blood.

"I can give you the technique." The Third Hokage thought for a while and shook his head, "But I don't have any information about Uchiha Itachi."

Sasuke didn't believe it.

"Since leaving Konoha, there has been no news of Uchiha Itachi." The Third Hokage shook his head and explained casually, "He left the Land of Fire and has no activities in other places."

"We haven't discovered his whereabouts, so naturally we don't have any intelligence on him."

Sasuke still didn't believe it.

As the deputy commander of the Second Division, he knew very well what an intelligence organization could achieve even without the help of institutions like the "Image Room".

If Konoha's intelligence organization is so incompetent
Konoha should not and could not be the strongest among the five major nations.

And
The Third Hokage's reaction was strange.

He actually agreed to give me the technique, but did not give me the information about "Uchiha Itachi".

Obviously compared to "skills", intelligence is the cheapest and most suitable bargaining chip.

"The village has always been very generous to geniuses." The Third Hokage continued, "I will teach you a forbidden technique."

"The art of multiple shadow clones."

"This is a technique invented by the first Hokage. It is an advanced version of the clone technique."

Multiple shadow clones?
Is this the technique that Kakashi used during the survival exercise just now?
"As for you," the Third Hokage poked his head in and looked him straight in the eye, "I want you to become an Anbu."

"Aren't you trying to get information about Uchiha Itachi?"

"After you become an ANBU, you might be able to meet him on a mission."

Sasuke simply agreed, "Okay, no problem for me."

The Anbu is a very special and secretive organization, its full name is “Assassination Tactics Special Forces”.

The Third Hokage didn't originally expect Sasuke to be very good at the beginning.

Although Uchiha Itachi is a very outstanding Anbu.

But Sasuke doesn't have any ninja experience at all.

But the truth is unexpected.

Sasuke is very good, he is like a natural ANBU.

From hunting down Chuunin rebels at B-rank difficulty to fighting Jonin at A-rank difficulty, he could handle them all with ease, and the ability he demonstrated was better than those who had been in the ANBU for three or four years.

The Land of Fire, a secluded place.

The white-haired pharmacist Kabuto reported the news to a gloomy-looking man.

"No news about Uchiha Sasuke?" Orochimaru lowered his head and frowned.

Yakushi Kabuto nodded: "It seems that Uchiha Sasuke has become an ANBU."

"And the Root is very guarded. It seems that the Hokage does not want Danzo to interfere in anything related to Uchiha Sasuke."

"I'm just a little Genin."

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: "He is actually an Anbu. He is indeed worthy of being that man's younger brother."

"Kou, I know this may be a little reluctant, but you still have to find out about him."

“He’s very important to me.”

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded: "Even if it's exposed?"

"Even if it's exposed." Orochimaru nodded, his tone calm.

Yakushi Kabuto bowed his head: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Hokage Building.

Sasuke ignored the people who greeted him and walked straight forward.

The nature of the Anbu and the Second Division is similar, but the atmosphere is even heavier than that of the Second Division - this may be related to the leader. The current captain of the Anbu is a dull and meticulous person, while the captain of the Second Division, Shifengyuan Yoruichi, is a careless and heartless person.

This is a good place.

Everything is based on "tasks". As long as you complete enough tasks and the tasks are difficult enough, you will be able to obtain stronger skills.

In just over two months, he has completed six "A"-level missions and sixteen B-level missions, but Sasuke has not exchanged any techniques. He looks down on the most basic Five Elements Techniques, which require hand seals and are not as effective as Word Spirit Techniques.

He planned to save up for a while to redeem the "S" level reward.

such as
"Flying Thunder God" and the like are "S"-level forbidden techniques that are different from ordinary five-element escape techniques and have special effects.

Hokage's office.

"Eagle, another excellent mission." The Third Hokage looked at his mission report and his brows were filled with joy.

Hawk is the code name of Uchiha Sasuke.

The last person who could perform these tasks so beautifully was Uchiha Itachi.

"Your next mission is S-rank." He said as he put down the scroll in his hand. "This time, you will show your true identity."

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.

This was his first time to receive an S-level mission.
Show your original identity?

Aren't you operating as an Anbu member of Konoha?
"In a few days, the Land of Fire will hold a joint Chunin exam with the Land of Wind." The Third Hokage went on to say, "According to the information received from the Land of Wind, the One-Tail Jinchuriki will also participate this time."

"Your mission is to defeat him and become the sole winner of the Chunin Exam."

"do you understand?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and responded: "Yes, I understand."

"You don't have to go on missions in the next few days. I will assign two Genin to accompany you." The Third Hokage smiled slightly, "If you have any confusion in your training, you can always come and ask me for advice."
