Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

In Konoha Village, Uzumaki Kushina, who is already fifteen years old, has never experienced a war and therefore seems too energetic... Of course, considering the example of characters like Hamiya Genkui before her, her "activity" in the village is actually nothing.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina seemed quite angry because she was defeated again in the competition with some of her peers.

You have to know that Uzumaki Kushina's life goal at the beginning was to become Hokage, but this goal was difficult to achieve... She was ambitious but not too high, and she had ideals but not absolutes.

In any case, there is still a big gap between the two professions of Hokage and housewife, so the life of someone who aims to be Hokage but ends up being a housewife seems quite fragmented.

Uzumaki Kushina wandered around the village angrily, and finally came to the door of the temple set up by the Uzumaki clan in Konoha... This temple, or ancestral temple, is used to worship ancestors.

It doesn't mean that this temple has no meaning just because Yu Zhen is still alive. In fact, Yu Zhen is just the "ancestor" of the Uzumaki ancestors. The Uzumaki clan was truly organized into a tribe during the time of Yu Zhen's grandson, so this grandson is the real ancestor.

There are usually few people visiting the ancestral temple, making it a good place to hide and secretly express sadness. Therefore, Uzumaki Kushina just thought about it for a moment and then walked into the ancestral temple.

Passing by a pile of memorial tablets in the main hall, Uzumaki Kushina bowed as usual, then she walked deeper into the building and squatted on the old wooden stairs, hugging her knees.

It was strange. Why couldn't I beat my peers? Could there really be geniuses in this world?

Regardless of whether he is a genius or not, someone once said this... "Compared to XX, any other ninja seems not good enough."

Just when Uzumaki Kushina was at a loss for words and fell into deep self-doubt, the old stairs above her head suddenly creaked.

Although Uzumaki Kushina was in a bad mood, she still had the basic vigilance of a ninja. The sudden sound made her stand up suddenly and look up at the stairs:

"Who is there?"

The wall behind her was covered with various masks, which made it look dark and shadowy... Well, she was not afraid of ghosts. You know, even if there were ghosts in the Uzumaki Ancestral Temple, they were the ghosts of ancestors. Even if they were not her own people, they were still her own ghosts. There was nothing to be afraid of.

But if other ninjas sneak in here, then the situation is a different matter.

"going up."

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

The sudden sound made Uzumaki Kushina immediately pull out a kunai and hold it tightly in her hand.

Go up? Is this a trap?

Uzumaki Kushina didn't have time to think carefully before deciding to check the situation above.

She went upstairs and checked, confirming that there was nothing unusual here, but just when she reached the other side of the second floor, the voice sounded again.

"Keep going up."

It is true that you can go up, but there is a narrow attic above, and the way up is no longer stairs, but a vertical ladder.

"who are you?"

Of course, Uzumaki Kushina's question went unanswered.

Based on the principle of being here now, she gritted her teeth, then reached out and pulled out the ladder hidden on the side, then climbed up a distance and reached out to push open the closed attic entrance.

You know what, she was quite well-behaved. She actually walked up the stairs honestly instead of jumping up and down like a ninja... After all, this is the ancestral temple.

Compared to the two lower floors which were cleaned thoroughly, the attic was full of cobwebs and dust.

"Go to the innermost part..."

"Pretend to be a ghost."

Uzumaki Kushina muttered softly, but still bent her body and came to the innermost part of the attic.

There's nothing here...

Aside from a battered wooden sword on a delicate lacquer ornamental sword stand, it looked more like a toy than a weapon; even the hilt looked like it might sprout.

"Take the weapon with you. This is a small gift for you..."

"Ah? How can this be of any use?"

This time Uzumaki Kushina didn't expect a response at all, she simply reached out and picked up the wooden sword.

The next moment, she felt a large amount of her chakra being sucked away instantly, and then, two scarlet eyes suddenly opened on the blade of the wooden sword!

The dirty attic, the girl, and the suddenly appearing eyes make the scene seem a bit "weird".

Uzumaki Kushina was startled and subconsciously threw the sword to the ground.

"Sharingan..."

This ominous thing can really scare people.

A little further away, the ramen chef who was kneading the dough in a somewhat mechanical manner finally regained his former agility in body movements.

"Master, there are many customers at night, please don't be distracted."

The ramen chef's careless attitude towards work did not escape the attention of the apprentice.

"clear."

The ramen chef immediately agreed. He did not refute or say anything else. This was mainly because the apprentice's ramen making skills had surpassed his at this time.

"Why do I feel like something big is going to happen soon?"

In order to ease the awkwardness, the ramen chef, whose purpose of opening a shop was not pure and whose skills were also questionable, started to make small talk.

"The war is over, what else could possibly be the big deal? The big deal is that we're going to have another deficit this month..."

All I can say is that whether it’s Kitsune or Uchiha, their role-playing is very good, and their acting skills are better than all the “brothers”.

But because the fox's nose and lips are black, sometimes his words can sound like a crow's mouth.

That night, a mansion in Konoha was brightly lit.

Something big really happened in the village.

Because the owner of this house is called Hatake Sakumo... In theory, he can only be called Sakumo at this time, because he is a person who hides his last name.

At this time, several ninjas from the Hatake clan were surrounding a woman who was holding a child with white hair at a young age in her arms.

Theoretically, this child should graduate from the Ninja Academy this year and be promoted to Chunin next year. At the age of 6, he will reach the peak of his life at the age of 12, becoming a representative figure of great suffering and deep hatred.

However, an unfortunate thing happened. Since he was not unfortunate enough in this life, what he hugged at this time was not the battlefield, but his mother's chest.

Not only was he being treated like a puppy, his eyes were even as dull as a college student who had failed in his job search and lost his status as a recent graduate.

In addition, half of the ninjas here are from Hotaru, and the leader among them is Nara Shikaku.

In this ordinary room, there is a pool of blood, making it look like a crime scene, but there is no victim's body.

Nara Shikaku squatted down and gently touched the blood on the ground with his fingers. After rubbing his fingertips a few times, he asked:

"Are you sure this is Sakumo-sama's blood?"

"That's for sure."

The "orphan and widow" were at a loss, and the person who answered Nara Shikaku's questions was a ninja from the Hatake clan.

"This is so strange. There are no signs of fighting around. Was it a sneak attack?"

"With Lord Sakumo's strength, who could launch a sneak attack on him and make him disappear without a sound? Even if it's possible to injure him, he can't be completely defenseless, right?"

If Yu Zhen were here, he would definitely report it immediately... Really, no one could do such a thing, it was all done by a fox.

"Should we report to the village? And then mobilize manpower to look for Lord Sakumo?" someone else asked.

"No..." Nara Shikaku immediately raised his hand to stop him. He hinted cryptically, "The war is over. Who can launch a sneak attack on Lord Sakumo without making any noise at this time? Remember, this is Konoha."

"Could it be..."

Someone understood what Nara Shikaku meant and immediately shut up.

Was this the ninja world's version of "when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked"? Hatake Sakumo's attack and disappearance might have been linked to a power struggle within Konoha's upper echelons. Given this possibility, the higher-ups shouldn't have been given immediate access to Hotaru's movements.

"But we can't hide for too long. The latest is until tomorrow morning."

It is impossible for the village to lose track of an important person like Hatake Sakumo for too long.

"Don't worry, I know who to find to solve the problem now." Nara Shikaku tried to comfort everyone.

So who should he turn to? Of course, he should turn to Nara Hideyuki, who was already enjoying a leisurely retirement.

While the news was blocked here, Nara Shikaku immediately went to a nearby courtyard and met with Nara Hideyuki... The advantage of the Firefly Ninjas living together was verified once again.

Nara Hideyuki hurried over and after inspecting the "crime scene", he also felt that he had no clue... As for the speculation that Konoha's top leaders secretly took action against Leader Yinghuo, it was pure nonsense, because Konoha's core top leaders knew that Yuzhen was still alive.

To be honest, although Yu Zhen looks old and has no temper, what about him?

In any case, messing with his organization was a bit too exciting.

It doesn’t matter that Nara Hideyuki has no clue, he can continue to call people, and this time he found the right target.

Theoretically, according to the "magic trick" left by Yu Zhen, once something happens, someone will release Old Popsicle even if he is not there.

His plan was good, the only problem was that the power to liberate Old Popsicle was delegated to Chief Firefly.

Specifically, what happened now was that Hatake Sakumo had to come to the secret room after he disappeared and personally free himself from the ice...

To be honest, this is a bit too much to ask.

Well, it's difficult with strong logic.

At this time, Yu Zhen was wandering on the edge of the East China Sea. Fortunately, he was not in another space or Kaguya's space, otherwise he would not even receive any news.

"Eh, did Hatake Sakumo 'disappear' at this time?"

In fact, after mastering the Seven-Minded Sharingan, Yu Zhen already had the ability to send the old popsicles directly back to the time when they disappeared, but that would be a bit troublesome and a waste of eye power... Anyway, the effect of the traditional method of time travel is the same, so why bother to thaw Hatake Sakumo?

No matter which method is used, Hatake Sakumo's perception is the same.

In short, by the time this news came back, it was almost dawn. Some of the more radical Firefly Ninjas present had secretly begun to consider whether to go to war with the village... No, it should be called "clearing the village chief's side."

Then, Nara Hideyuki unfolded the letter and read its contents, and his expression became strange.

Although his expression was strange, he felt relieved because he could understand from his brief words that Lord Yuzhen actually understood the current situation.

And after so many years, he has already had some reasonable guesses about some things.

"Wipe off the bloodstains and disperse. Those who know about tonight's events must keep their mouths shut. Sakumo will return after daybreak."

"Lord Hideyuki, do you know where Lord Sakumo is?" someone asked.

Nara Hideyuki waved his hand and did not answer the question, but just dispersed the ninjas here.

If it weren't for the old guy's accumulated prestige, someone might have hit him in the head with a brick... Is there anyone who would say things halfway at a time like this?

After letting everyone else leave, Xiuzhi stayed here waiting for the outcome.

In fact, while the messenger bird was still flying in the night sky, Yu Zhen had already arrived at the secret room where the old popsicles were placed.

He reached out and pressed on a piece of ice. In just a moment, the ice melted and the seal on Hatake Sakumo's consciousness was lifted.

Old Popsicle slowly opened his eyes and shook his head vigorously. Before he realized what was happening, he saw the old popsicle opposite him.

That face in there looks familiar, huh? Orochimaru?

"Lie..."

In this situation, how could Yu Zhen allow the other party to swear, so he spoke first:

"You're awake? It looks like this was a successful journey."

However, the reality was just the opposite. It was a crossing that almost failed.

Chapter 246 Dull Knife

Yuzhen walked up and patted Hatake Sakumo's face twice. The guy looked a little unconscious.

Are you going crazy from the cold?

After a long delay, Hatake Sakumo has not been thawed, which makes Yu Zhen wonder if there is some loophole in the consciousness sealing method... Anyway, there is no problem with the body sealing. Just now, Hatake Sakumo was "frozen", but now he is only "fresh".

After thawing, you can directly slice it and make sashimi.

Just when Yuzhen was considering whether to use the "electrical appliance repair method" to give Hatake Sakumo a big fight and even slap him, Hatake Sakumo finally came to his senses and raised his forearm to block himself.

"feather……"

Lord Yuzhen, please wait a minute... Hatake Sakumo originally wanted to say this, but with his current reaction speed, it is of course impossible to stop Yuzhen.

Anyway, Hatake Sakumo only heard a clear sound, and then his face started to feel numb, and half of his head was buzzing.

"Why don't you tell me earlier? How would I know if you didn't tell me earlier?" Yu Zhen said.

Not to mention that Hatake Sakumo was numb from the cold now, even if he was in normal condition, it would be difficult for him to avoid Yuzhen's slap.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo didn't care about his face. He felt like he had been running naked on the ice cap of a snowy mountain for three days and three nights, and his whole body was suffering from a tingling sensation.
