"Thanks."

"I am grateful," said Mikoto Uchiha.

What Xia Mu just said is undoubtedly the best solution.

In a serious match, she wasn't confident of winning.

If she loses again, Fugaku Uchiha and the Uchiha clan will definitely be even more disappointed in her.

"It's nothing."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "Consider it payment for helping me obtain the summoning beast."

"It's not a small matter for me."

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head and said seriously, "I owe you a favor."

Seeing that she said that, Xia Mu couldn't refuse.

It can only be said that life is not easy for a normal person in the Uchiha clan.

He changed the subject and got down to business.

There's no better time than today, so Natsuki and Uchiha Mikoto started sparring on the spot.

After the three matches, both of them sat on the ground to rest, covered in sweat.

"You...you were in the sparring session just now..."

Mikoto Uchiha was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"I didn't hold back."

Xia Mu took a breath and said, "Winning is winning, losing is losing."

In the four matches, as he predicted, they each won two.

Mikoto Uchiha fell silent.

The result was too perfect, making it hard for her not to suspect that Xia Mu had manipulated things.

Xia Mu was actually telling the truth.

His biggest problem right now is that he doesn't have enough chakra.

Fighting three matches in a row will greatly deplete your chakra.

Mikoto Uchiha was different; she was four years older and had significantly more chakra than Natsuki.

Of course, Xia Mu also reaped some rewards.

One-third of the second and third abilities of his Seven Treasures Template have been unlocked.

Unfortunately, the requirement is to defeat three ninjas, not to defeat one ninja three times.

"Remember to come to me if there's anything I can help you with in the future."

Mikoto Uchiha wiped the sweat from her forehead and made a promise.

"must."

Xia Mu stood up and said, "It's almost time. I have to go to my teacher. See you next time."

See you next time.

Mikoto Uchiha immediately responded.

Natsuki turned and walked towards Konoha Village.

Mikoto Uchiha stared at his retreating figure for a long time before she came to her senses.

She exhaled and left the Forest of Death.

After returning to the Uchiha clan, Mikoto Uchiha went directly to see Fugaku Uchiha.

"What is it?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked indifferently.

He has just become the clan chief and is currently very busy with work.

Moreover, Uchiha Mikoto is only twelve years old, so naturally he wouldn't be interested in dating.

"I went to see Xia Mu again today."

Mikoto Uchiha replied, "I played three matches, and I won two of them. Including yesterday's match, my total is two wins and two losses."

"I just received news today that Natsuki has become Orochimaru's official student."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at her and said, "You did very well to win two out of three games today."

Mikoto Uchiha was immediately surprised.

She had no idea that Natsuki had officially become Orochimaru's student.

In this situation, he was still willing to lose two matches to himself, which was a huge sacrifice.

He might be punished by Orochimaru when he gets back.

"Although you beat Xia Mu today, you still need to work harder."

"Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice."

Currently, the only ones in the Uchiha clan who can be considered geniuses are him and Uchiha Mikoto.

As a great ninja clan, the Uchiha clan also needs geniuses to uphold its reputation.

In addition, there has always been an unspoken rivalry between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

The Hyuga clan now has two geniuses, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.

"Yes, clan chief."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and said.

"Go down and train."

Once the matter was settled, Fugaku Uchiha dismissed him.

Mikoto Uchiha turned around and went home.

She took off her shoes, walked barefoot on the carpet, and entered the living room.

Mikoto Uchiha leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling.

After a moment of confusion, Xia Mu reappeared in her mind.

Meanwhile, Natsuki went to see Orochimaru and told him about his rematch with Uchiha Mikoto.

"It's already quite impressive that you were able to fight Mikoto Uchiha to a draw."

After listening, Orochimaru said nonchalantly, "She only studied for four more years than you. With your talent, you'll surpass her very soon."

"But I hope to spar more with ninjas who use genjutsu and fire-style techniques to increase my combat experience."

Xia Mu nodded and stated his ultimate goal: "It's hard for me to find an opponent like this at school."

He mentioned Uchiha Mikoto so that Orochimaru could find him a suitable opponent to unlock the Shippo template.

"Since you want to increase your combat experience, then go all out."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then said, "I will find you a few missions that involve genjutsu and fire-style ninja."

Doing a task?

Although it wasn't in Xia Mu's plan, upon closer inspection, this suggestion is better.

Because it also unlocks the Fushiguro Megumi template, it's like killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you, teacher."

Xia Mu immediately said.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Xia Mu, what level of mission is this time?"

Rope Tree asked as he walked.

"Most likely it's a Grade B."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"I guessed so."

Rope Tree shook his head and said, "I wonder when we'll be able to do A-rank missions."

"Rank A missions involve Special Jonin and Jonin, and our strength is not up to par."

Natsuki casually remarked, "Unless you encounter some exceptional Jonin who isn't skilled in combat."

Special Jonin refers to ninjas who excel in certain areas; they are actually considered Chunin.

For example, Ebisu became a special Jonin because of his skill in teaching.

For example, Mitarashi Anko became a special Jonin because of her expertise in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"teacher."

Natsuki and Rope Tree quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"This mission is Rank A, and the target is Yasuda, a spy from Iwagakure who has infiltrated the metropolis of the Land of Fire."

Orochimaru began by introducing him, saying, "He is a genjutsu ninja who excels at intelligence gathering."

"It's actually Grade A?"

Rope Tree asked with a look of surprise.

"This test will assess your ability to deal with illusion ninjas."

Orochimaru glanced at him and said.

"Teacher, I definitely won't let you down."

Nawaki immediately assured him, "After all, you specifically taught us how to dispel ninjutsu."

"Although Yasuda's strength has not reached the level of a Jonin, it is still stronger than most Chunin."

Orochimaru cautioned, "If you want to defeat him, you must proceed with caution."

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

The only requirement to unlock the Seven Treasures template is to defeat the enemy; it doesn't matter whether it's a direct confrontation or an assassination.

The template for Fushiguro Megumi requires assassination.

He quickly came up with an idea: to assassinate her, for example, by poisoning her.

If Yasuda isn't dead, he and Nawaki will finish him off.

After a brief exchange, the three headed towards the Fire Country's metropolis.
