My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 86 How far into the future can your eyes see?

Uchiha Shisui fastened his headband, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the photograph on the table.

The photo frame contains a picture of a young couple, both with black hair and black eyes, wearing clothes embroidered with fan-shaped patterns, smiling brightly, looking both silly and happy.

"Father, Mother, I'm setting off."

Shisui said softly, sheathing the short sword and carrying it on his back.

He just turned six this year and graduated from the Ninja Academy. He was undoubtedly the top student in his class, both within the Uchiha clan and in the academy's graduation exams.

"Shisui is a child who possesses all the talents a ninja needs. Whether as an Uchiha or a Konoha genin, he is undoubtedly a genius."

This is the comment written by Uchiha Shisui's teacher when he graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Today is the day Shisui first met the "instructor jonin".

Although it is currently wartime and most genin will be assigned to the front lines for missions, Konoha will grant some time to promising new recruits, allowing them to be trained by strong jonin in squads.

Uchiha Shisui was summoned by the clan head last night and learned about this matter, as well as the name of his teacher.

He was looking forward to meeting the teacher who was respectfully called "Jade Lion".

After closing the door and leaving the clan's territory, Uchiha Shisui quickly arrived outside the village. Last night, he received a letter from a slug with the address and time written on it; he only needed to arrive at the designated location on time.

Zhi Shui arrived at the meeting point half an hour early.

This is a clearing in the forest, completely bare without a single weed. It seems to have been carefully cleared earlier. In the very center is a thick wooden stake with ropes wrapped around it, but its purpose is unknown.

Since he was the first to arrive, Uchiha Shisui simply leaned against a wooden stake to rest.

A moment later, a boy wearing a gray trench coat and sunglasses came into his view.

"What... it's Shisui." The boy's nose and below were hidden by the high collar of his trench coat, and he wore large aviator sunglasses, making him look mysterious. However, despite his strange attire, his tone was surprisingly calm and composed.

"What a coincidence, we were also rivals during the graduation exam."

"Shinno, it's so great to have you in the same class as me," Uchiha Shisui greeted with a smile.

Shinno Aburame is the only one in this generation who can "exchange a few blows" with Shisui Uchiha. He is exceptionally talented and has mastered the insect control secret technique passed down through generations of the Aburame clan.

They were classmates at the Ninja Academy. Although they spent most of their time receiving education in their respective families, their relationship was much closer than that of ordinary strangers. They chatted casually, and time flew by.

In the last five minutes, a girl slowly walked over from a distance.

Aburame Shinno and Uchiha Shisui both looked at her, slightly puzzled.

The girl had beautiful long white hair, was very pretty, taller than most of her peers, and slightly taller than the two boys. She had a blank expression and looked somewhat aloof.

"I've never seen her in the village before..."

Shisui and Shinno watched as the girl walked up to them and leaned confidently against the wooden stake.

"Wangyue Liuli," she introduced herself, and then said nothing more.

Neither Shisui nor Shinno were the type of boys who would pester a girl with endless questions, and seeing that Mochizuki Ruri didn't intend to say anything more, they didn't bother her either.

Five minutes passed quickly.

boom!

A plume of smoke rose above the wooden stake, and a slug the size of a fist appeared.

It spat out two bells and shouted:

"The bell-stealing battle begins! Yuto-kun will only see the person who successfully obtains the bell; the loser will be kicked out of the team! He's waiting for the winner on the other side of the forest!"

The slug disappeared, and two bells fell onto the wooden stake.

"Hmph, what a mischievous Jonin instructor..." Mochizuki Ruri shrugged and grabbed both bells in her hands.

With a leap from his strong, Suzuka-like legs, he sprang into the dense forest and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Aburame Shinno was taken aback.

"Such speed." Before he finished speaking, he abandoned Uchiha Shisui and left the open space.

In the instant of explosive speed, Aburame Shinno secretly made a hand seal, and dozens of black flying insects emerged from his body and scattered rapidly.

"Found her... She's so fast?" Shinno exclaimed in amazement, relentlessly pursuing the parasitic insect's lead.

"Seal!" When she chased the girl to a distance where she could activate her spell, Aburame Shinno used the parasitic insects to attack her. Although Mochizuki Ruri could kill the insects with a simple wave of her hand, it ultimately stopped her momentum.

"Stop for a moment... Miss Mochizuki." Aburame Shinno caught up with her:

"Two bells, can I have one?"

"Okay." Mochizuki Ruri gently flicked the bell.

"Come and grab it!"

"One for each person, isn't that just right?"

"This is bad." Mochizuki Ruri's tone was calm:

"That Uchiha guy is terrifying, but you... I should be able to beat him."

"...Then why did you steal two?"

"If it's him who comes after me, I'll give it to him directly; if you lose your temper first, I'll take care of you."

Aburame Shinno's brow twitched violently. Even though he had always been suppressed by Uchiha Shisui at school, he was still a true genius. The girl's undisguised contempt made him really angry.

Aburame Shinno stretched out her finger, and a green worm crawled out of the flesh.

With a slight upturn of her lips, Wang Yueli flicked her arm, and a sharp, pale bone spur tore through her elbow.

Green insects swarmed, and bone blades gleamed coldly. The two attacked each other simultaneously, not even bothering with the bell.

However, neither the green worms nor the bone blades landed on the opponent.

I said…

A handsome boy with short hair suddenly appeared, forcefully inserting himself between the two. His ninja sword was pressed firmly against Mochizuki Ruri's bone blade, and his scarlet single-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, using genjutsu to control Aburame Shinno.

He was fast, but not with the thunderous, straight-line charge of Hyuga Yuto, nor with the ethereal, agile spatial movement of Namikaze Minato. Instead, he was swift and sharp, like a gust of wind.

"I said, can we sit down and have a proper talk?"

Uchiha Shisui sighed, stopped his genjutsu, and pushed away Mochizuki Ruri's bone blade.

He rubbed his wrist, marveling at the white-haired girl's strength and speed, and said helplessly:

"Shinnori, and Miss Mochizuki, let's go to the edge of the forest together. Maybe this is a way for all three of us to pass the test at the same time."

"Easy for you to say." Mochizuki Ruri stared at the boy.

"What if we all fail at the same time?"

Aburame Shinno remained silent, clearly sharing the same thought as Mochizuki Ruri.

In Konoha, there are plenty of unlucky guys who fail the Jonin Exams; there are in every year.

"It's alright." Shisui laughed heartily, untied the bells he had just stolen, and tossed them to the two of them.

"Here you take the bells."

Even at this age, Uchiha Shisui understood the meaning of "sacrifice".

The boy and girl, who had just been at loggerheads, fell silent.

Ruri Mochizuki stroked the bell for a while, then suddenly chuckled and tossed it back to the Uchiha boy:

"A true gentleman would never let a girl carry things."

With another tinkling sound, Aburame Shinno handed the bell to Shisui:

"If our clan leader finds out that I passed while you were eliminated, especially in this way... believe me, my fate will be far worse than if I failed."

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly at the two bells in his palm, unsure of what to say.

Pop, pop, pop.

Just then, a slow, steady clapping sounded from above.

Uchiha Shisui looked up at the source of the sound.

A young ninja leaned lazily against the tree canopy, his white robe and black bandages concealing a casual and carefree posture that, under the scrutiny of the Sharingan, revealed no flaws.

Very strong...extremely strong," the Uchiha boy thought, at the same time, he heard Hyuga Yuto's first words:

"Uchiha... Shisui, with those eyes, how far into the future can you see?"
