Treading water, the nature of the two attributes has changed. Sasuke's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. To be honest, he has surpassed the level of ordinary Chunin and reached the level of special Jonin. If it were the original Mizuki, he would be solved in no time.
However, as a Kage-level warrior, Uchiha Izumi is naturally not a waste like Mizuki. Even without using the Sharingan, relying solely on the power of the Uzumaki clan, she can still exert the strength of a weak Kage-level warrior. After all, her current chakra is more than ten times more than her past self. Relying solely on the summoning technique, she is enough to deal with ordinary Kage-level battles.
If the Sharingan is added, even if it is only the three-magatama Sharingan, Uchiha Izumi's strength will be able to overwhelm most of the Kage-level strongmen in the ninja world. This is the improvement in strength brought to Uchiha Izumi by the evolution of bloodline. In comparison, the practice in the past six months is just better than nothing, used to ensure that the strength will not regress.
So when the two fought again, Uchiha Sasuke was defeated again as expected. After all, the gap between a special jonin and a Kage was too big to be made up by one or two ninjutsu.
"Damn it!" Sasuke said unhappily after being defeated again:
"Sensei, are you really a Chunin? My brother said that my current strength is basically unmatched among Chunins, so why can't I beat you?!"
"There's nothing I can do. After all, I'm your teacher. Let me tell you, in order to prevent you, a student, from surpassing me easily, I have not been idle in the past six months!" Uchiha Izumi said with a smile.
Then, thinking that there was no need to hide his identity as Mizuki any longer, Uchiha Izumi boldly asked a question:
"Sasuke, do you know who destroyed the Uchiha clan?"
Chapter 51 Uchiha Izumi's Provocation
Such a question suddenly popped up. Even though Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi had a closer relationship, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Strange, why is Mr. Mizuki asking me this?
While muttering in his heart, Sasuke said:
"Of course I know."
"Who?"
"Uchiha Izumi!"
Hearing his name from Sasuke's mouth, Uchiha Izumi was speechless, but on the surface he still spoke as Mizuki:
"Uchiha Izumi? Is it really her? As far as I know, this female ninja had no reputation at all before the Uchiha clan was exterminated. It is hard to imagine that such a young and unknown ninja could actually destroy the largest clan in our Konoha."
After these words came out, even Sasuke was a little confused and said:
"Who knows? Maybe she has been hiding it. You know, my brother was seriously injured by her during the night of the genocide. And I heard from the doctor at the hospital that the move that injured my brother was actually the Rasengan of the Fourth Hokage. This woman actually learned the Fourth Hokage's moves without anyone noticing. It's really scary."
"Sasuke, you misunderstood me. I don't doubt Uchiha Izumi's strength, I just wonder why the Uchiha clan was killed so cleanly." Uchiha Izumi said again:
"You have to know that the Uchiha clan has thousands of people, and even if it's just the ninjas, there are more than a hundred of them. With so many people, can one person really kill them all? Won't the civilians of the Uchiha clan escape? If hundreds of the thousands of people escape in a panic, can Uchiha Izumi really kill all of them by himself?"
"Furthermore, even if Uchiha Izumi has such strength, he must have used a large-scale ninjutsu. But the problem is, on the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination, there seemed to be no trace of large-scale ninjutsu! Moreover, the extermination of the clan did not happen for a long time, and there are also many suitable places for hiding in the Uchiha clan, such as wells. Didn't anyone escape by relying on these places?"
Hearing Uchiha Izumi's words, Sasuke felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. The doubts that had existed during the night of genocide were now surging in Sasuke's mind. Following Uchiha Izumi's words, he immediately realized that the night of genocide was not as simple as he had imagined.
"Teacher Mizuki, why do you know all this?" Sasuke asked puzzledly.
Obviously, at this moment Sasuke has begun to doubt Uchiha Izumi's identity and his intentions of approaching him.
In response, Uchiha Izumi sneered:
"My friend also died on the night of the Uchiha clan's genocide, so naturally I want to know the truth about that night! As for what I just said, it's just the reasoning that a ninja must do. With a certain level of logical thinking, even if you're not a ninja, you can easily detect the mysteries surrounding the night of the genocide. In comparison, I'm more surprised about you, Sasuke! As the top student in your grade, haven't you noticed these doubts until now?"
After these words came out, Sasuke was speechless. After a little thought, he realized that what Uchiha Izumi just said was indeed a doubt that could be discovered with a little reasoning. It was natural for others to find these doubts. It was the most abnormal thing that he, the person involved, did not find them after such a long time.
"It seems that although you have achieved the top grade in class, you haven't really turned this knowledge into your own!" Uchiha Izumi shook his head helplessly.
"Do you know why I am telling you this at this particular time? Not only because the genocide of the Uchiha clan is of great importance, but also because you, Sasuke, are about to graduate. After graduation, you will no longer be a student, but a true ninja. And the world of ninjas is much more complicated than that of school students!"
After that, Uchiha Izumi did not say anything more, but left on his own. Looking at Uchiha Izumi's back, Sasuke was unhappy for a while. But he also remembered Uchiha Izumi's teachings firmly in his heart.
After Uchiha Izumi left, Sasuke also returned home and found his brother Uchiha Itachi.
Because Sasuke is about to graduate from the Ninja School, Uchiha Itachi has specially suspended his Anbu missions these days, just to accompany his brother at this critical moment. Seeing Sasuke coming home so early today, Uchiha Itachi wondered:
"Sasuke, you're back so early today? Didn't you practice?"
Sasuke didn't say much, he just answered the question raised by Uchiha Izumi, and then said:
"Brother, is there really another hidden story behind the extermination of our Uchiha clan? Why are there so many clan members, but only two of us brothers survived? Could that Uchiha Izumi really kill all of our Uchiha clan so cleanly by himself?"
Hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly and asked immediately:
"Who told you this?"
“It’s a teacher at school.”
Sasuke did not reveal Mizuki's name directly, because he also realized that his brother knew about this matter. The reason why Uchiha Itachi did not tell him the truth must be that there was another hidden reason. So Sasuke chose to conceal it to a certain extent, and said:
"I overheard them while they were discussing it."
"So that's how it is..." Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment, then patted Sasuke on the shoulder and said:
"Sasuke, these things are not for you to consider right now. When you become a real ninja, I will tell you the truth!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi tapped Sasuke's forehead with his finger, making Sasuke even more dissatisfied, and he muttered in a low voice:
"Brother, you really treat me like a child again, even though I'm about to graduate..."
The two brothers chatted for a while about the Ninja School graduation exam, and then Sasuke went back to his room to rest. After Sasuke fell asleep, Uchiha Itachi took advantage of the night to come to the Hokage Building and informed the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen about this matter.
"I see. Someone is trying to sow discord between Sasuke and the village?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and asked again:
"Itachi, do you have any guesses about this guy with bad intentions?"
"It should be Mizuki, the Chunin teacher of the Ninja School." Uchiha Itachi said:
"According to my observation, this Mizuki has been trying to get close to Sasuke half a year ago and has been helping him practice privately. At the time, I just thought it was a teacher's attention to an outstanding student. Now it seems that he may have had ulterior motives when he approached Sasuke half a year ago."
"So it's Mizuki? That's not surprising, that's not surprising." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
"Hokage-sama, do you also know this Mizuki?"
"The village has been keeping an eye on him since half a year ago. Not only was he once valued by Orochimaru, but he was also secretly collecting information about the Sealing Scroll. At the time, I considered arresting him, but since he didn't do anything excessive, I let him go. I didn't expect that he would quietly start to manipulate the relationship between Sasuke and the village over the past six months... Humph, it seems that I was too soft-hearted at the time."
Hearing the word "soft-hearted" from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, even Uchiha Itachi, who was a man of his character, felt speechless.
Chapter 52 This Bait is Too Tempting
"This Mizuki should be Orochimaru's chess piece left in Konoha. Whether he was collecting information about the Sealing Scroll or trying to sow discord between Sasuke and the village, it was probably all under the instruction of Orochimaru." Uchiha Itachi said:
"Since we already know that he has bad intentions, Hokage-sama, shouldn't we take action immediately?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head upon hearing this:
"Don't do it for now. After all, the graduation season of the Ninja School is coming soon. In addition to your brother, there are many important students graduating this year, such as Naruto and Shikamaru. If you rashly arrest their teachers at this critical moment, it will affect their mentality for the graduation exam. Especially your brother, he has a special relationship with Mizuki now. If you really arrest Mizuki before the graduation exam, can you guarantee that your brother will not make a fuss?"
Hearing that it was about his brother, Uchiha Itachi also said:
"In that case, let's wait until after graduation to take action against Mizuki! But Hokage, Mizuki is a teacher at the Ninja School after all, and arresting him rashly may have a bad impact!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded upon hearing this:
"You're right. Although we all know that Mizuki has ulterior motives, he's actually not doing anything right now. Without solid evidence, it's not right for us to arrest him. In addition, he's Sasuke's teacher, so we have to be careful with him."
At this point, Uchiha Itachi suggested:
"Hokage-sama, can we set a bait to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"You mean, sting operation?"
"That's right. Hasn't this Mizuki always been interested in the forbidden techniques in the Sealing Scroll? Why don't we use the Sealing Scroll as bait and arrest him on the pretext of stealing the Sealing Scroll? Wouldn't that make things more legitimate?"
"That's a good idea." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, wanting Uchiha Itachi to take on this task.
But just as he was about to speak, he remembered that it was Sasuke's graduation day. Uchiha Itachi's mind was mostly on Sasuke, and he might not be able to perform this mission well, so he changed his words:
"In that case, let Kakashi do this! He has a lot of experience in the Anbu, and I believe he will be able to complete this mission well. As for you, just accompany Sasuke for the next two days!"
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
So it was the next day, in the office of the Ninja School.
Uchiha Izumi walked into the room and heard the school teachers discussing:
"Hey, is this really a sealing scroll?"
"It is said that the Sealing Scroll was passed down by the Second Hokage, and it contains a lot of forbidden techniques!"
"It seems that only the Hokage can freely read this scroll. Even many jonin in the village are only qualified to learn the ninjutsu in the sealed scroll after completing S-rank missions."
"It would be great if I could learn the forbidden techniques there someday! Then I would really have everything I want."
"This year's candidates are so good. I wish I could graduate from this year too."
……
Hearing these teachers' discussion, Uchiha Izumi was puzzled:
"Now is the critical time for students to graduate. Why are you discussing the sealing scroll?"
At this time, Iruka in the crowd said:
"Mizuki, you don't know yet, right? It is said that because the graduates this year are so outstanding, the Hokage-sama specially handed over the important seal scroll of the village to our Ninja School as a reward for outstanding graduates. It is said that the top ten graduates can learn a ninjutsu from the seal scroll. Even if they are the top graduates, they can freely read the seal scroll for half an hour!"
Freely flipping through the sealed scroll for half an hour? Really?
Uchiha Izumi was surprised when he heard this:
"It is said that many of the sealed scrolls contain dangerous forbidden techniques. How can we allow students of a ninja school to browse through such things?"
"Who knows? Maybe this year's graduates are really too outstanding! After all, there is Uchiha Sasuke, and many young clan leaders of family ninjas. I think Lord Hokage wants to use this opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the major families and stabilize the situation within Konoha." Iruka guessed.
"That makes sense. After all, this year's graduates are so special." Uchiha Izumi nodded, but thought to himself:
How could the village just take out such an important thing as the Sealing Scroll? I guess the so-called Sealing Scroll only records some common ninjutsu. It would be nice to have a Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. How could the top leaders of Konoha just take out the Sealing Scroll that really records the forbidden techniques?
After realizing this, Uchiha Izumi no longer took it to heart, but honestly performed his duties as a teacher as Mizuki.
Just like that, the graduation exam of the Ninja School finally began.
What most people didn't expect was that this year's top graduate was not the popular Uchiha Sasuke, but a civilian ninja named Haruno Sakura.
Not only did she get a perfect score in the written exam, she also fought Uchiha Sasuke on equal terms in the subsequent ninja tools, ninjutsu, and combat exams. In the final ninja battle, she relied on her superhuman chakra control to defeat Uchiha Sasuke and became the top graduate of the ninja school.
Such a result not only shocked all the candidates and parents, but also surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi who were observing the exam. After all, Uchiha Sasuke, who possessed the strength of a special jonin, was already an extraordinary existence among his peers. And a ninja like Haruno Sakura, who was born as a commoner, was able to suppress the opponent. Such a demonic performance even reminded everyone present of the former Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.
Only Uchiha Izumi, who knew the true background of Haruno Sakura, had anticipated this and thought:
This guy performed so well in the graduation exam, could he really think that the sealing scroll is real?
Then, Uchiha Izumi saw Haruno Sakura take the sealed scroll and start flipping through it quickly. Half an hour later, she reluctantly let go of the scroll. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked her what ninjutsu she had learned as the Hokage, and Haruno Sakura said directly:
"Of course it's the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage! After all, the Fourth Hokage is the ninja I admire the most. It's really great to be able to learn his ninjutsu!"
What, even the Flying Thunder God Technique?
At this time, Uchiha Izumi was completely out of control.
Even though he guessed that someone might be fishing behind this, Uchiha Izumi had to admit that the bait was too tempting. Apart from anything else, the value of the Flying Thunder God Technique alone was incomparable to that of ordinary forbidden techniques. After all, this was a rare space-time ninjutsu in the ninja world!
At that moment, Uchiha Izumi began to get restless, thinking about how to get the seal scroll. While she was thinking, a lonely figure not far away fell into her eyes.
Chapter 53 Using Uzumaki Naruto
Because of the Sealing Scroll, the graduation exam of the Ninja School this year was much more lively than in other years. Especially at the end of the graduation exam, the duel between Sasuke and Haruno Sakura made the onlookers excited. But it was this excitement that set off the loneliness and desolation of the last place.
Just like in the original work, Uzumaki Naruto failed this graduation exam.
At this moment, he was sitting alone on the swing in the sunset, and he could hear other people's gossip from time to time. For example, "Fox boy", "He must not be allowed to become a ninja", etc. It was really pitiful.
Uchiha Izumi's comment on this is:
Live it!
The graduation exam of the Ninja School is not difficult at all. As long as the results are not too outrageous, the teachers of the Ninja School will let you pass.
But who made Uzumaki Naruto a weirdo?
As for the cultural subjects, the teachers at the Ninja School had already highlighted the key points before the exam. If he had spent two days memorizing the books before the exam, he could have passed. But what was the result? He didn't pass any of the subjects, such as the History of the Ninja World, the Will of Fire, and the Discipline of the Battlefield! He didn't even know the simplest definition of Chakra, which made Uchiha Izumi, who was marking the test papers, speechless.
Not to mention the Ninjutsu exam. The Three Body Technique is a ninjutsu that is taught from the lower grades. Even ninjas from civilian backgrounds have practiced for at least three years! In three years, not to mention humans, even Konoha's ninja dogs can master a Three Body Technique. But Uzumaki Naruto's Clone Technique is a mess.
